Chapter 233
Evan D. Sherden, Robs the Ocean. (1)
Although some unexpected occurrences had occurred, such as Lin and Lan sharing a Luck status and robbing a gambling place of its treasures, Evan and his group left after they took over Roizen without breaking a sweat.
Usually, people who won a lot of money at Roizen knew that they were in danger when they came out of the city, so they paid a lot of money to buy a s.p.a.ce movement scroll in the city to immediately jump to a safe place. Of course, Evan didn’t have to do that.
“So, who is that?”
“Sherden’s jewel. Oh, that’s a good catch. I’d rather be convinced if he was a bandit who extorted all the jewels…”
Evan wore a mask, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t recognize him. Only fewer people bothered him.
Evan was also the most important person in the world’s most untouchable force, and no one dared to tell him that even though he had robbed Roizen’s casinos.
They just looked back and cursed at Evan as he was leaving Roizen. It was a shame since it would have been a good opportunity to raise the Dungeon Knights’ prestige.
“Hoo, I had a great time.”
“Don’t you feel sorry for the gamblers who have been thrown into the streets because of you…?”
Former dealer and current maid Diona, who was playing Shine’s role as the quipster in his absence, carefully tackled Evan, who had been muttering in the carriage, leaving Roizen for the port city of Palman.
Although there was a disadvantage that she was still worried about her position, she was careful with her words. However, she would get used to it soon. Evan grinned at her appearance.
“Still, gambling is perfect for just play. But if you devote your entire life to gambling, you’ll end up like Diona.”
“You’re right…”
Arisha maintained an angry expression as she watched Diona, who rode in the same carriage.
There was a lot of work before Diona got on the wagon, but the final approval of her claim to join them was that she could not be left alone among the other men of the party. So the result was Dain getting on the second carriage instead of her.
If this was the case, Evan didn’t know why he had even brought a guard. But if one were to question that part, everything would be over.
“And all the people over there, Evan, they looked terrible.”
“That’s because Bane, the owner of Brotherhood Skewers, had been wandering around restaurants all yesterday, and Horta had been stuck in a workshop. They must be out of their minds by now.”
He had asked Lin to put on a cure for abnormal conditions so they wouldn’t be too bothersome, but no one knew if that would have been enough. Evan felt apologetic for Ditto and Paul, who were caught between the adults.
“So you’ve achieved your goal? The skewer chef’s face was mortified, but he suddenly smiled brightly when he picked up the mixer that Prince Evan gave him.”
“Perfectly.”
At Eloa’s question, Evan nodded with a confident smile.
“The owner will be the best cook that no one can rival. Maybe his fame will grow more in the distant future.”
It wasn’t a joke. The owner had mastered food fusion, which was only allowed for players in the game.
In the future, his cooking would taste good, and it would have the effect of improving the skills of whoever ate his food.
Previously, chefs accidentally created magic dishes, and things got quite noisy, but the owner must be the first to create them intentionally. The owner would then engrave his name in the pages of history!
“The name of the owner will be widely used on the continent.”
“Master, at least in that part, shouldn’t you call him by his real name…?”
“Well, then.”
While Diona was sweating and making quirky remarks from time to time, Eloa spoke with a satisfied look.
“I’d like to have him in our kitchen when we get to Palman.”
“That’s good. The seafood at the port of Palman is good for taste. The owner can cook seafood that you’ve never tasted before. I’d like a delicious sea monster.”
“Seafood… I haven’t tried that yet.”
Belois mumbled faintly and grabbed Evan by the sleeve. He grinned and held Belois’ sleeves.
“You can look forward to it, Lua. Delectable things are really delicious.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it. Not only that but the ports, seas…… it’s all my first time.”
Belois leaned slightly against Evan and murmured again. Evan thought he was lucky to have seen Belois like this.
“It’s too bad that Shine couldn’t tag along with us.”
“Huh… I’ll explain it to you later.”
When Belois leaned against Evan, Diona, who was not familiar with the relationship between Evan and her, gave off a surprised expression, then she went along with the situation without making any mistake.
It was not a matter of position. Even Serena would not dare interrupt when the two were having this kind of atmosphere! Arisha called it Super Belois Time.
“What do the people of Palman do?”
“I told you to ask politely!”
At that time, Lan, who was enjoying the moment and looking satisfied, asked Evan such a question. Evan patted both of the girls when Lin corrected Lan’s speech.
“Palman is a place where people go fishing.”
“I’d like to explain more as someone from Palman.”
Eloa declared this with a very displeased expression.
“It isn’t just about that.”
“It’s a big catch!”
On the very day he arrived at the port of Palman, Evan won the MVP award at the port’s most famous fishing site.
“Oh, look at that boy! This time, he caught a salmon bigger than my body!”
“Oh my G.o.d, the salmon has pearls!”
“It’s not a sh.e.l.l. What kind of salmon has pearls? …No, but it’s real!”
Even today, anglers who came to the fishing area with the dream of overfishing were shocked and muttered as they saw the fish Evan had caught.
However, Evan, who had caught the fish, took out the pearl with a calm expression and handed the salmon back. Dain received it with a calm expression and put it in the basin where many fish were already floating. At first, he was shocked, but he slowly got used to it as the three pa.s.sed.
“I got one too! Master, I got one too!”
“Next is my turn!”
Next to Evan, the twin sisters also took turns catching the fishing rods and were making good progress.
That was right. The members who were active in Roizen were also active here. Diona finally realized the truth when she saw this.
“Did you win a series of victories in Roizen?”
“Yes, it wasn’t a poker face. I was just incredibly lucky.”
“Oh, my G.o.d…”
“I was lucky enough to make the hand of the fraudster slip and have the card I want at the time I want.”
“It was my fault that I tried to fraud you! Of course, it is!”
Having established herself as the perfect dealer in the gambling city of Roizen, she had lost her life to a lucky man!
The weight of the truth that she finally realized was too heavy for Diona to bear. However, next to them, there was another similarly frustrated person.
“No, how can people achieve this without the art of fishing…”
“Eloa, fishing is more about luck than skill, I’m telling you—it’s all about luck.”
Eloa, who had always kept a calm face, was now shivering in front of Evan’s brutality.
For Eloa, who was born and raised in the port of Palman, the sight of Evan, Lin, and Lan sweeping away the treasures of the sea without any knowledge of fishing was very unacceptable to her.
Armed with incredible luck, sense, and power instead of delicate techniques, they were now rewriting the history of port fishing!
“Oh, another bite. Isn’t it time you got a treasure chest?”
“Now that you mention it, I think you’re going to catch a treasure chest.”
Of course, Evan would really catch a treasure chest. The real value of fishing at the port of Palman was to fish for treasure chests hidden in the sea!
“What the h.e.l.l do you think fishing is? Fishing a treasure chest, I’ve never heard of that before.”
“That’s because treasure chests only appear when you have good luck.”
Throughout the Yo-Ma Great War Series, the ‘Lucky Status’ was the most subtle Status. It definitely increased the fatality rate, increased the avoidance rate, increased the item drop, increased money drop, but all of them were in a state of limbo.
Even the luck-increasing equipment Evan was wearing now was useless unless he had it equipped as a full set, and there were only two areas where the luck was clearly revealed: gambling and fishing.
Among them, fishing for the treasure chest at the port of Palman was one of the most popular sub-content even in the Yo-Ma Great War Series!
“The unwritten rule was that this lucky equipment was only to be worn at Roizen and Palman until the non-stop clearers appeared.”
“…Do you intend to challenge the Demon King with that equipment?”
“No, it’s Shine who will end the Demon King.”
Evan looked away at the fish he caught and gave Dain a stern answer, who was surprised and asked back while lifting the fishing rod with all his might. There was a treasure chest hanging at the end as if it were natural.
“Okay, I finally got one.”
“Palman, it’s not this kind of place…”
“Calm down, Eloa.”
Meanwhile, Belois was looking at the boundless expanse of the sea, quietly sitting next to Evan, who was still fishing. The sea she saw for the first time in her life seemed more impressive than she had imagined.
“It’s a waste to be angry with this beautiful sea before us.”
“I feel like your Master is insulting the beautiful sea at the moment.”
“I’m sure the sea is welcoming Master Evan and giving him gifts.”
Belois, facing the sea, looked more innocent than usual, making her very attractive. The expression was originally given only to Evan, but the others could see it now.
“I’m glad you like the ocean, but…”
“Oh, the angel laughed.”
“What kind of family does that boy have? Why does he have so many pretty girls?”
In fact, many of the fishermen who gathered around Evan’s group were attracted by the beauty of the female members.
“I caught one, too, sir!”
“Good job, Ditto. We’re having dinner with the fish we caught today, so let’s catch as many as we can.”
“Yes!”
If the other group were to have dinner with the fish that Evan, Lin, and Lan had caught, they could feed the Knights to their full.….
As the daughter of the ruler of Palman, Eloa seriously agonized over thinking of kicking them out of the harbor. Still, she also wanted to eat the giant salmon that Evan had caught, so she decided to hold it in.
“Lua, do you have a new pocket for the inventory?”
“Yes, the state-of-the-art magic you mentioned is attached.”
“Okay, let’s catch as much as we can so we can bring it to the dungeon city!”
“Get out of this city right now.”
On that day, Evan joined forces with the twin sisters to catch a total of seven treasure chests and about 300 fish.
If anyone else had identified their spoils, they would have wondered where the deep-sea fishing boat even came from.
