The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 427: Winning 20 million with 3700 yuan

A week passed from that.

Zun Zun and his friends would go to the royal city every morning to face the prince's test.

After Alice always used basic attacks as her ultimate move, which was not even a warm-up exercise, and Sato Kazuma used the rules to play tricks with the coin toss, and Zun Zun ended with the story of slaying a dragon, finally—

“Great! This way the defense budget will be fully restored to its original level! What’s left is our original purpose. In order to fight the Demon King’s army, we need them to provide support funds for launching an offensive…!”

"Wait, wait a minute, that's out of the question!"

After losing the support funds one after another, I thought Prince Levi would think there was a chance to turn things around and agree without hesitation, but I didn't expect his attitude to be unexpectedly cautious.

"Let's not talk about continuing to support the defense costs. There will be many problems if our country pays for attacking the Demon King's army."

"Is that okay? If you agree, you might be able to get your principal back as well."

"Who would fall for your obvious provocation?"

Prince Levi refused to give in and sneered at Sato Kazuma's provocation.

He is not a good gambler.

A rational person like Prince Levi would not care whether the defense money is paid or not. Even if they lose, the current situation will not change. They are just taking the opportunity to have some fun. It would be better if they don't have to pay.

But the money for attacking the Demon King's army is his bottom line that he will never give up.

"Listen carefully, our country does not want to provoke the Demon King's army, so we cannot pay you to launch an offensive."

It can be said that paying for defense is forced by the situation. If you don't pay, you might be regarded as defecting to the Demon King's army and be besieged by all human camps. But if you don't pay for the attack, there will be a lot of room for maneuver, and at most the status quo will not change.

Sato Kazuma looked at Zun Zun, and with a look that said 'I'll leave it all to you', he grinned.

"Are you sure? You might win next time..."

"Stop talking nonsense. How could someone who had been losing all along suddenly win? Who are you for me... huh!?"

The prince, who was originally calm, suddenly became confused and couldn't close his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Sato Kazuma's open right hand.

By the way, the prince just guessed it was Sato Kazuma's left hand.

This means that -

"You are cheating!"

Prince Levi blurted out, even using a curse word.

Although he was unruly and sarcastic when they first met, he never said a bad word. You can imagine how much psychological impact Sato Kazuma had on him.

Alice wasn't as exaggerated as Prince Levi, but she also showed a surprised expression.

"Brother, could it be that since the first time we gambled, the coin has not been in either hand?"

"That's right. You're smart, Alice. You should still remember what I said when I wanted to decide the outcome, right?"

"It's... 'You win if you guess where the coin is', right? ...Ah!"

"Ah!"

After Alice, the prince seemed to have figured it out.

That's right, this was the little trick that Zun Zun used to tease the arrogant Priscilla. At that time, he won the right to play with her breasts at will. Now Sato Kazuma won 50% of the support money with this trick.

"As expected of Kazuma, no one can match him in doing such treacherous and cunning things!"

"…You are praising me, right? Isn't this the method you taught me?"

"Haha, I'm just praising you."

Zun Zun and Alice smiled at each other.

“Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole! How dare you cheat me! As a member of the royal family, don’t you think this is despicable!?”

"not at all."

The answer was decisive.

Because Sato Kazuma is not a prince.

Faced with his shameless attitude, Prince Levi gasped and said, "...Tsk, that's what country bumpkins are like. Forget it, as a prince of a casino country, I failed to see through your deception. I'm stupid. I won't ask you to pay me back."

In the end, Sato Kazuma's provocation was unsuccessful.

According to Prince Levi, the defense support funds can continue to be paid as usual, but it cannot be more, and it will not be agreed to no matter what.

"Then we'll say goodbye like this. I wish you success in defeating the Demon King."

Finally, Prince Levi drove them out with insincere words.

After returning to the hotel.

Alice returned to her room with a frustrated look on her face, while Sato Kazuma called Darkness and the others to discuss what to do.

“——That’s how it is.”

After telling them what happened, Sato Kazuma asked in an unhappy tone, "What should we do? Do you have any good ideas?"

"That's the only way to do it."

"……what?"

"Sell Zun Zun."

Darkness said something stupid.

“Wait a minute, what do you mean!?” Megumin slammed the table and said, “Are you asking us to abandon our companions? I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!”

"That's right, I don't agree with abandoning Zun Zun!" Youyou also shouted right after him.

"N-No...that's it...I'm sorry."

Darkness was a little panicked.

Obviously, I haven't been pushed to that point yet, but this guy is always thinking about selling Zun Zun for money. To be honest, no matter how good-tempered I am, I will still feel a little angry.

Zun Zun pointed at her and said, "Hey, Darkness, if you have such thoughts again, be careful that I will make you wear thin clothes to sell drinks to those sloppy uncles in bad stores! With your meager salary, do your best for the kingdom!" "I couldn't ask for more!"

"Um???"

You're invincible kid.

When a pervert is more perverted than you, you have no way to deal with her. Darkness's eager expression made everyone speechless.

"Anyway, Zun Zun is our companion, how can we abandon him?" Sato Kazuma said righteously, slamming the table, and then spread his hands and said: "Besides, that stupid prince may not be willing to pay."

"No, he will definitely pay for it."

"… Your Excellency?"

When he found out that his companions had misunderstood him, Zun Zun quickly waved his hands to indicate that that was not what he meant.

"No, no, no, I'm not saying that I want to stay. I'm just saying that if it really comes to that, Prince Levi will definitely pay for it."

"The relationship you mentioned before that will increase national strength?"

“That’s part of the reason.”

Zun Zun is a very high-level magic item master. With sufficient materials, he can manufacture skill point potions in the form of an assembly line, thereby mass-producing powerful knights and adventurers.

But the most crucial thing is the prime minister.

He is actually a spy planted by the Demon King's Army. Since Zun Zun is the main force in the fight against the Demon King's Army cadres, it would be a great thing to be able to keep him, and they would rather spend a huge price for it.

"As expected, we can only take a risky approach."

Sato Kazuma put on a sinister face, looking like a real villain.

Darkness quickly held his shoulder and said, “Hey, don’t do anything rash! Although Her Highness Alice has been wronged, if you do anything out of line, it will cause an extremely serious diplomatic incident.”

"Yes, that's right. This is not good."

"Zunzun, are you serious?"

Sato Kazuma looked at Zunzun who was persuading him together with Darkness, and his expression was quite complicated.

You have to know that when I came to this kingdom, Zun Zun was a loyal fighter and had already decided to solve the problem by force, but now he is trying to persuade me instead.

"Could it be because that stupid prince is your fan..."

"How could that be! ...No, that's partly why."

"Okay, go kill him!"

Sato Kazuma stood up excitedly, but was still pushed down by Darkness.

Huihui suggested that they could use explosion magic to attack the royal castle, and Aqua also suggested that they could replace the flags hanging on the royal castle with those taught by Axis. Only Yunyun looked worried, fearing that they might do something reckless.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything out of the ordinary."

Sato Kazuma stretched out a hand, and a ball of cold ghost fire was coming out of his index finger, which made people feel very bad.

Darkness's face changed when he saw this.

“Hey, Kazuma, could this skill of yours be——”

"That's right! The death notice I learned from the Dullahan!"

"Where on earth did you learn that from!?"

"It does not matter!"

Sato Kazuma didn't want to reveal any information about the Dullahan. His mind was now filled with the idea of cursing Prince Levi so that he could disguise it as the work of a cadre of the Demon King's Army, thereby breaking off the other party's relationship with the Demon King's Army.

"Forget it, don't do that."

But he was stopped by Zun Zun.

"This skill of yours can only make people have diarrhea for a few days at most. It's completely useless."

"Well!"

Sato Kazuma's whole body stiffened.

The death sentence was the curse that the Headless Knight cast on Zun Zun. Even Zun Zun, who had a divine body, was killed by it, so Sato Kazuma wanted to cast a curse on Prince Levi.

The idea is good, but he forgets that he is a beginner.

While the power of the skill was about to be reduced, Sato Kazuma had no way to pay the large number of skill points required to learn Death Announcement, so he had to settle for the next best thing and learn the simplified version.

The effect, at most, would just make people feel sick for a few days, so it's not an exaggeration to say it's just a prank.

"The Demon King's Army cursed Prince Levi with diarrhea. I don't understand whether you want to embarrass Prince Levi or discredit the Demon King's Army."

"Both."

Sato Kazuma crossed his arms.

If this guy is not stopped, he will really break into the palace at night again and curse Prince Levi.

Darkness naturally wouldn't allow it, so she held down Sato Kazuma's hands and feet with force. The only advantage of the clumsy Crusader was his exaggerated physical strength and wrist strength, which made Sato Kazuma scream.

The noise lasted for quite a while.

Sato Kazuma said unhappily: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Then come up with a solution!"

“There is always a way.”

"What can I do?!" X5
Hearing what Zun Zun said, everyone's eyes were on him.

"You guys always overlook the most crucial thing. Have you forgotten that this is a country with a lot of casinos?"

"What you want to say is——"

"That's right, it's all about gambling!"

Only then did the others suddenly realize.
