I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“More rooms?”

With a convenient gambling puppet like the red-robed priest by his side, Li Yue was naturally too lazy to think and directly asked for the answer.

“Millions of gambling matches occur on the continent every day. The number of summoning rooms related to ‘summoning’ is constantly changing, of course.”

The red-robed priest was already cooperating to the point of answering everything, and her heart no longer resisted the velvet-robed skeleton's prying.

Since resistance was impossible, she might as well enjoy it.

“Got it, let's go.” The velvet-robed skeleton pushed open the second door and went in…

Next was the process of the three second-generation skeleton wastrels searching room by room.

Li Yue also realized during the repeated entries and exits that even entering without gambling would still consume the amount on the invitation ticket, ranging from one hundred to one thousand.

From a purely cost perspective, it would be better to play a hand in every gambling match for 1 point.

But considering the existence of the “curse,” everything made sense.

The gambling match in the second room involved several humans from the Snow Country summoning demons from the Great Ice Rift.

Li Yue couldn't analyze it through the projection, and although he was envious, there was nothing he could do.

Oogie Boogie wasn't at the gambling table either.

The third room was where a foolish youth from the Capital of the Tass Empire was summoning a Nightmare Succubus. The velvet-robed skeleton discovered a high-level demon with a positive value and decisively rushed up to tear it apart, gaining 1 demon point.

A mortal tainted by disease summoning a priest of the Holy See, civilians besieged by mountain bandits summoning a great knight, people of the Sand Country summoning a refreshing stream, a masked society summoning a great altar, the Bone Cart Sect summoning a bone cart full of gods…

After walking through more than a dozen gambling tables, the content of the gambling matches varied, but they were all related to summoning; however, Oogie Boogie wasn't in any of the matches, and high-level demons with positive values were hard to find.

Li Yue only killed two more, one of which was a lucky gambler with a value of millions.

At that time, the three skeletons realized halfway through the fight that it had been enhanced too much and they couldn't win, so they fled back to the casino entrance, recharged tens of thousands of King's Electric Horns, and then killed it to pieces.

The demon points reached 4.

Li Yue truly felt that he was a living immortal in the casino, and the Dice of Destiny should thank him properly.

Just as Li Yue was preparing to enter the next gambling match with an amount of 130,000, the red-robed priest suddenly spoke.

“If you want to sacrifice me to summon Mentor, I hope you can do one thing for me.”

After accompanying the three skeletons through more than a dozen gambling matches, the red-robed priest had realized that they weren't here to gamble at all, and even the golden-chained skeleton seemed to be drooling when looking at her, so it wasn't hard to guess her fate.

“Sure, what is it?” Li Yue turned his head and asked, his mind not on the red-robed priest at all, but only concerned about whether Oogie Boogie would appear on the next gambling table.

“Your attitude makes it impossible for me to trust you.” The red-robed priest said solemnly, “I can even give you an additional piece of information.”

【I need to sign a soul contract, I need to sign a soul contract…】

Listening to her inner thoughts, it seemed that an idea had been intentionally strengthened. Li Yue guessed that this behavior of the red-robed priest was likely used to cover up another key piece of information.

However, the action prediction success rate of this gambling puppet was at 837%. Since she knew that the skeletons could read minds, she could indeed try to avoid being listened to through this method.

【She wants to sign a contract with us…】

【Might as well use the Scepter of Deceit?】

The three skeletons looked at each other, feeling that this scene was familiar—weren't the ones snatched from the Pleasure Room initially this unyielding?

“Otherwise, you won't be able to take me out of the casino.” After being tough for a moment, the red-robed priest became tactful again, “Or rather, do you want to try summoning the Demon King Mentor inside the casino?”

“The casino is a gathering place of fate. If your summoning interferes with the fate of the Mentor, even if you are the sons of the devil, it will not easily forgive you…”

After watching for so long, the red-robed priest, although not knowing the exact identities of the three skeletons, could guess that they must be the sons of the devil.

Otherwise, where would they get the courage to summon Mentor?

【I can sacrifice myself into an item for summoning… making it easier for you to take me out of the casino…】

“Then tell me, what do you want us to help you with?” The red-robed priest had said so much, which made Li Yue curious about what kind of help she wanted.

Anyway, listening wouldn't cost him anything, and there was no need to rush to use the Scepter of Deceit—the magic power of the library was a necessary guarantee for betting big.

【I need to ask the Mentor one thing… I need to ask the Mentor one thing…】

Without having to try hard to strengthen it, the red-robed priest's thoughts were exceptionally strong.

“I just want to ask him, am I, Ortner, still alive?”

The red-robed priest's tone was somewhat sorrowful.

The velvet-robed skeleton sized her up with its empty eyes for a moment. It was indeed difficult to define whether she was alive or dead.

To say she was alive, she was a gambling puppet, usually hanging on the wall, and no longer had the ability to act independently; to say she was dead, she still retained some of the characteristics she had when she was a red-robed priest, such as sacrifice, such as summoning the Demon King Mentor.

“Does Mentor know if you are alive or not? What if he says you are alive, will you not be a gambling puppet anymore? What if he says you are dead?”

“Moreover, you can only summon Mentor by sacrificing yourself, so even if you don't die, you will die by then… right?”

Li Yue didn't quite understand the meaning of this question, let alone the logic of summoning.

Did one die first and then summon, or did one become a strange state after sacrifice, defined by Mentor?

【This is a question belonging to the Demon King Mentor, only he can give the answer.】

Ortner's inner thoughts were very pious, and she did not place her hopes on the red-robed Pope, the old goat, but only looked forward to Mentor's answer.

“Okay, ask him, it won't do anything to me, so sign the contract?” The velvet-robed skeleton reached into its hip bone and pulled out one copy each of the six types of soul contracts.

This had already become Li Yue's habit.

Other than this question, Authena asked for nothing else, but since it involved sacrificing a gambling puppet, and gambling puppets belonged to the casino, the contract did not stipulate the red robe's sacrificial obligations, only stating that she needed to fully cooperate with the actions of the three skeletons.

The contract was quickly agreed upon.

"Alright? Can you tell me now? What's the extra information you're giving me?" Li Yue asked quickly, already impatient to open the next door.

"Every time you open a door, you're gambling, and every time you kill a gambler, you're also gambling. You need to be careful..."

Authena's words made Li Yue realize where his restlessness came from.

He had inexplicably participated in a dozen more gambling games, losing a little money and gaining 4 demon points. He needed to slow down.

"Bite my bony butt... it's really unsettling..." The velvet-robed skeleton gritted its teeth, gulping down a few more doses of mental magic potions to relieve the manic emotions brought on by the curse.

"His demonic cocoon... Could it be that the action of opening the door... is also equivalent to 'summoning'?" Trying to lower his expectations for the gambling game behind the door and amplifying the soothing sensation of the magic potion permeating his body, the velvet-robed skeleton pulled the door open again.

"I am the Gambling Demon Oogie Boogie~ I never play fair games~"

There was only one gambler at the table, wearing a dirty burlap sack and humming a song.

It was Oogie Boogie.

The projection of the gambling table cast a constantly changing continent, vaguely showing Loushan, the Misty Rain Corridor, and the large snow valleys and ice walls of the north.

The north side of the continent was intertwined with red and white, like a flower garden where red and white roses were constantly growing, slowly moving south.

The content of the gambling game was to bet on whether red and white would bloom where the next flower bloomed.

Oogie Boogie was summoning the Red and White Plague in the casino, and then using the summoning luck he won to increase the probability of summoning Beelzebub.

"Buzz? Is it you? You actually have the life to come back? Hahaha! Ridiculous!"

Seeing the three second-generation skeletons, the King of the Arena was surprised and delighted.

【I can sacrifice myself into an item for summoning... to make it easier for you to take out of the casino...】

"Then tell me, what do you want us to help you with?" The Red-Robed Priest had said so much, making Li Yue curious about what kind of help she actually wanted.

Anyway, listening wouldn't cost him anything, and there was no need to rush to use the Staff of Deception—the magic power of the library was a guarantee to bet big.

【I need to ask my mentor something... I need to ask my mentor something...】

Without needing to strengthen it deliberately, the Red-Robed Priest's thoughts were exceptionally strong.

"I just want to ask him, am I, Authena, still alive?"

The Red-Robed Priest's tone was a little sad.

The velvet-robed skeleton used its hollow eyes to examine her for a moment, and it was indeed difficult to define whether she was alive or dead.

To say she was alive, she was a gambling puppet, usually hanging on the wall, no longer having the ability to act independently; to say she was dead, she still retained some of the characteristics of when she was a Red-Robed Priest, such as sacrifice, such as summoning the Demon King Mento.

"Does Mento know if you're alive or not? What if he says you're alive? You're still a gambling puppet, aren't you? What if he says you're dead?"

"And you can only summon Mento by sacrificing yourself, so even if you don't die, you'll die then... right?"

Li Yue didn't quite understand the meaning of this question, let alone the logic of summoning.

Was it dying first and then summoning, or becoming a strange state after the sacrifice, defined by Mento?

【This is a question belonging to the Demon King mentor, only he can give the answer.】

Authena's heart was very devout, and she did not place her hopes on the Red-Robed Pope Old Goat, only looking forward to Mento's answer.
