“W…… Wait a minute!”
The one who jumped out in surprise was none other than a dwarf.
“H…… Have you just co out of the Goblin Bank?”
“Word travels fast.”
“I…… I heard that a…… a noble guest would be visiting.”
The dwarf was the owner of the forge.
At his bowing attitude, the guards’ expressions changed.
“M…… Master?”
“Before I smash your heads with a hamr, why don’t you apologize right now! You’ll all be dead if this person says one word!”
“W…… We’re sorry. Please spare us!”

The guards knelt down with pale faces.
It seed that the bank manager had sent word in advance.
He was as quick-witted as he was corrupt.
He must have contacted them as soon as he judged that Joo-yeon was going to the forge.
‘But this guy. Why is he bowing to like this?’
Usually, dwarves were known for their stubbornness and bluntness.
They were known for their dirty high self-esteem in craftsmanship, comparable to, if not more than, elves.
The more famous the craftsman as a blacksmith, the worse it was.
Basically, strong weapons were the desire of all warriors.
Naturally, it was inevitable that warriors who received such love calls would beco arrogant.
‘Especially this blacksmith dwarf, I made him co by spending a huge sum of money when I was ruling the territory.’
The quest also included managing the territory.
Creating a bank by gathering legendary beings as founding mbers was also part of that.
In any case, this guy was the second best blacksmith after the [Dwarf King].
I got him drunk and forcibly signed a contract to bring him here.
That’s why he couldn’t help but be arrogant.
I could tell just by listening to the chatter of the people around .
“No, that dwarf boss is bowing down. Who the hell is he?”
The dwarf had the nickna Midas’ Hand.
There were rumors that the weapons they made were all sold for more than the price of gold, and that those who received their swords beca test who dominated an era.
It was no wonder people were looking at him with curiosity.
However, the face of the main character was distorted.
“What are you?”
“Yes?”
“You’re not a dwarf. Where’s the real boss?”
“……!?”
The boss dwarf turned pale at the main character’s words.
He wondered how he had discovered a secret that no one had noticed until now.
But it was so obvious to the main character.
I knew what kind of face he had, but-.
“Do you think you can beco a dwarf by putting a beard on a gno? You should deceive soone who can be deceived.”
The boss’s pupils shook.
Until now, no one had noticed that.
However, the main character’s gaze beca fierce.
‘I have to leave the weapon to that guy.’
But if he’s not here, things will go wrong.
“Oh, okay. Where’s the real boss? I an the dwarf guy.”
“That, that is……”
The more he rolled his eyes, the more certain I was that he was a gno.
The characteristic of gnos is that they are good at lying.
Of course, the main character’s voice couldn’t help but rise.
“Haken! Contact Duke Edr’s family right now……”
“I, I’ll tell you everything!”
But an unexpected answer ca back.
“I didn’t want to be the boss either! The damn boss said he had an accident! No, he’s not the boss anymore. He’s a slave!”
“Huh?”
Who beca a slave?
* * *
Jooyeon entered the forge under the guidance of the fake boss.
The fake boss had brought him to the office, saying that he was concerned about the eyes of others.
However, what was important to Jooyeon was not the eyes of others.
“Tell again. What happened?”
“Actually, that’s… He beca a slave by his own hand and left.”
“Are you kidding ? Haken! Run to the smithy right now…”
“I’m serious! Not only , but all the other blacksmiths know this!”
In fact, it is not uncommon for dwarves to beco slaves.
However, most of the ti, it is when they are kidnapped.
It was impossible for the head of the Edr Duchy’s forge to beco a slave as it is now.
First of all, the dwarves were close to the King of Knights.
“Make the head blacksmith of Edr Duchy a slave? And to the dwarf who made the King of Knights’ sword?”
Does anyone want to be cursed by the King of Knights?
Jooyeon’s words made the fake boss sweat profusely.
However, the whole story he heard from the fake boss was absurd.
“What? The boss is addicted to perfu? So he put down his hamr and rented a bar?”
In a word, the amount of money he owed for alcohol was enormous.
It was an amount that even a great craftsman could not easily repay.
However, Jooyeon snorted.
“Are you kidding ? What kind of alcohol did he make into an elixir?”
“It’s not just alcohol, it’s also a little bit of gambling…”
“Your boss handles mithril, doesn’t he? How can such a craftsman fail to pay off his gambling debts?”
“Actually, he even gambled the forge as collateral…”
Oh my? A simple blacksmith gambled the forge as collateral?
He was up to all sorts of things.
But sothing was strange.
“No matter how addicted to perfu he was, how could a blacksmith who loves his craft more than anything put the forge up as collateral?”
And ended up becoming a slave?
Sothing was fishy about this.
No, it was a situation that Jooyeon was very familiar with.
“He was frad.”
“Yes? Frad?”
“Soone targeted the dwarf blacksmith and did the job.”
“Such…”
It was an event that happened occasionally in the Balantino Saga.
In the underworld, which targeted the skills of blacksmiths, they often handled things this way.
‘Drive them crazy with gambling, alcohol, and won, and make them slaves.’
Of course, to do such a thing in the territory of the King of Knights, they would have to be extrely daring.
If they were caught by him, who was overflowing with a sense of justice, they would be executed on the spot, which was a serious cri.
However, that was not important now.
“You dare steal my Dwarf?”
I can’t forgive him, whoever he is.
“So, who is the little punk? The guy who kidnapped my slave… no, my blacksmith.”
“That’s….”
They were criminals who had taken over the back alleys with the Duke’s permission.
They were also part of a thieves’ guild that mostly chard people into drinking and gambling.
Jooyeon was taken aback.
“Thieves’ guild? You an to tell those guys did this? They must have a death wish.”
“Should I contact the forr Duke?”
Jooyeon nodded at Haken’s words.
It seed like they all deserved to be hanged.
‘The Blacksmith that the Knight King made… no, more precisely, that I made?’
The bank and other major facilities in the Edr fiefdom were all places that he had created through quests.
Even though the quest was a failure because the hero Ryuujin self-destructed, that was when he had played with the Knight King as a companion character.
＜Quest＞
– Manage the territory.
– Citizen satisfaction: 90% or higher.
It was roughly that kind of quest.
Since he was doing it, he wanted to do it perfectly, so he had put in a lot of effort to find precious founding mbers and create it.
In fact, it would be fair to say that he had created the Edr fiefdom itself.
So how could he not be angry?
They had turned the place he had made into a ss.
And the thieves’ guild?
He wouldn’t let them get away with it.
But when he said that he would go find the Dwarf, the fake guild master shook his hands frantically.
“N-n-no, you can’t! Absolutely not!”
“Why not? You’d like the Dwarf master to co back, wouldn’t you?”
“No. It’s not that it would be any better than now if that drunkard master ca back… no, that’s not it! It’s the thieves’ guild! The ‘Grand Thousand-Hand Avalokiteshvara’ who is a companion of the hero…!”
Jooyeon scoffed.
“Yeah, yeah. He’s just that thief’s subordinate. If the Knight King finds out about this, he’ll take care of them all, won’t he?”
“No! That’s not it. I’m talking about the real Thousand-Hand Avalokiteshvara! He’s their backer!”
“What?”
The real Thousand-Hand Avalokiteshvara?
Jooyeon doubted his ears for a mont and tilted his head.
“What are you talking about? Are you saying that the guy who caused the accident is the Grand’s son? Even if the Grand is the head of the thieves’ guild, he wouldn’t take responsibility for all of those guys….”
“That’s not it. I’m saying that the real Thousand-Hand Avalokiteshvara has arrived. I saw him with my own two eyes.”
“……!?”
The Grand had secretly entered the Knight King’s territory that he hated so much?
To make the Dwarf in the fiefdom work?
And a hero who knew his limits, even if he was a thief, had done such a thing?
Even if it’s the guy who used to be a comrade of the Dwarf King?
“That guy. He’s a thief but he hates stealing the most? Especially an old man who hates slavery?”
“No, really. He makes so kind of gloves that look like hands… …”
“Gloves that look like hands?”
I got a rough idea of how things were going.
But it wasn’t a bad thing for Joo-yeon.
‘Was that bastard in this city?’
His old comrades had divine weapons that he had entrusted to them.
‘Then I can get a divine weapon without having to go far.’
Joo-yeon grinned as he recalled the unexpected reunion.
This ant changing plans.
“If you were kidnapped for money, you can just buy it back with money.”
“……!”
Instead, it was the surroundings that were shocked by Joo-yeon’s words.
“It won’t be a small amount of money!”
“It’s enough money to buy the Grand Duke’s prestigious forge. It’s more expensive than most castles…”
Haken shouted at Joo-yeon in a panic, as if he had realized sothing.
“Surely not with the money you brought from the bank just now!!”
“Am I crazy? To spend it there?”
“Then…”
“Of course, I have to rob those bastards. It’s not my money.”
“……??”
Of course, Haken and the fake CEO looked ridiculous.
Cheonsu Gwaneum was a man known as the master of the underworld.
There was no way that a casino run by such a man would be ordinary.
“They’re guys who do all sorts of scams. What are you going to do about guys who cheat on purpose?”
“That’s right. No matter how good you are, you can’t win at a casino. It’s impossible.”
There were also professional gamblers there.
The skills of the guys whose profession is [Gambler] are terrible.
But Joo-yeon just grinned.
“That’s even better. Originally, guys who play with their hands wrong tend to get ruined by their wrists.”
“Yes?”
He had already reflected on pickpocketing.
Would it be any different for a gambler?
Rather, I was curious to see what would happen.
“Co on, guide . To my new cash cow, no, the guys who kidnapped the dwarf.”
I had to finish the job before the ssengers from each faction arrived.
Of course, Haken and the fake CEO were taken aback.
“Are you really going to a casino?”
“Don’t do this. Even our crazy CEO calls it a ruined casino!”
No matter how he tried to dissuade Joo-in, it was no use.
Joo-in had already co to the doorstep of the gambling den.
Haken broke out in a cold sweat.
‘I think I might be wrong about this one. Joo-in is too pure to deal with those swindlers.’
He knew it well because he was a forr thief.
The gambling den was a place where all sorts of evil and deceit swirled around.
No matter how great Joo-in was, there was no way he could be safe in a place determined to deceive people.
‘And it’s a gambling den created by the Thieves Guild? They’ll not only take your money but your very soul.’
It seed like it was his turn to step up.
‘I may look like this, but I’m confident in gambling.’
Even Joo-in wouldn’t know much about gambling or the life of the underworld.
Yes, that’s what he thought…….
“……Number 17! Pla…… Player wins!”
Everyone cheered at the dealer’s declaration.
“Again! He won again!”
“Crazy……. He won with that one number out of so many?”
“What on earth is he? Is he a ssenger from the God of Fortune?”
A huge pile of gold coins was stacked in front of Joo-in.
Haken was speechless at the sight.
