I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#437 - The Curse of the Casino
"If we keep gambling like this, won't we get trapped?" the velvet-robed skeleton joked, turning to the red-robed priest.
The red-robed priest didn't know what was wrong, and although her face was expressionless, her inner voice betrayed her thoughts.
【They've noticed? The casino's curse?】
Li Yue suddenly understood upon hearing this.
He had only placed two bets and was already getting a little addicted, and he hadn't felt any malice since arriving at the casino for so long, almost making him think there was no curse here.
But the casino is a major pillar of Demon King City, so how could it not have one?
【Why aren't you betting?】
The gold-chained skeleton noticed that the velvet-robed skeleton hadn't placed a bet and immediately asked.
The third egg-bearing believer had already begun to swell; it would be too late if they didn't bet soon.
【There's a curse.】
Even from beginning to end, the red-robed priest barely said a few words.
But at least it's certain that the eight Sons of the Devil still don't have the potential to become Demon Kings, so from that point of view, Mentor shouldn't make things difficult for himself.
The red robe's answer didn't offer any refusal—after all, skeletons are relatively simple demons.
【Here, the authority also has considerable immunity to the casino's curse...】
【Should I answer... Should I answer...】
【Yes, as long as you leave the casino, it will gradually dissipate, but every once in a while, there will be an enticement to return. As long as you can endure it, you'll be fine...】
In the corridor below, the shadow of the large crystal ball still swayed back and forth.
【Wait, summon that old fart! He needs to replenish his body!】
"We're not playing anymore. The Egg-Bearing Sect is no fun," the velvet-robed skeleton gestured in agreement, leading the other two skeletons and its gambling puppet away from the table.
【You are Mentor's summoning ticket.】
And knowing that the curse existed, everything in the room suddenly became uninteresting.
Upon hearing this, the velvet-robed skeleton took out Tom's Mind Potion from its ribs, and the eight skeletons directly guzzled it down.
The red-robed priest was already a gambling puppet, basically equivalent to an ornament. Control over her mind was long gone, and the content of the casino's curse came to mind all at once.
The skeleton in his arms nudged the gold-chained skeleton's skull, reminding it not to become too addicted.
The velvet-robed skeleton was preparing to search for Oogie Boogie room by room, searching for low-level demons suitable to start with, and also searching for the game that it was most likely to win…
The velvet-robed skeleton also knocked on the gold-chained skeleton's head, and the three skeletons put their heads together for a meeting.
The topic changed too abruptly, and the red robe's thoughts stuttered a bit, but when she reacted, she still gave an answer.
"Does the curse have any aftereffects?"
If the Hall of Joy is to spread dreams as much as possible, leading people into dreams and producing joy, then this casino is like a giant cake placed in Demon King City.
"If their last summoning was successful, what did they summon?" The egg-bearing believer successfully integrated into the Great Blood Cocoon, summoning several red-skinned chickens. The gamblers were filled with anger and sorrow, and the dice asked about the previous round.
【Each bet, regardless of the outcome, will foster greed... Greed makes it impossible for people to leave, until they become prisoners of the casino or die bankrupt...】
If all the summoning luck is exhausted and there is no way to bring in an 'absolutely neutral soul,' then perhaps Mentor should be summoned to solve the puzzle, asking where such a soul can be found.
The casino's curse occurs in a silent and invisible state. If there wasn't a gambling puppet by his side, Li Yue wouldn't even have realized its existence.
【She wants to harm us!?】
【Regardless of winning or losing, there will be a recall... Win a lot, want to come back, lose a lot, it's the same...】
【The higher the amount, the more it will activate the curse, and the more times, the more it will deepen the curse's effect... Different races and emotions have different sensitivities to the curse. There isn't a specific number, only an approximation...】
【Don't worry, let me ask...】
"If you win a lot, is the temptation during the recall stronger?" Li Yue guessed, because he always doubted that a casino opened by demons would let gamblers win money and leave safely.
"What is the casino's curse?"
"Demon King Mentor?" The velvet-robed skeleton's eye sockets widened.
【If the summoning isn't what we want, then find Mentor.】
【I am a Son of the Devil... I can sacrifice myself... Summon the Mentor...】
Li Yue listened and felt that it made some sense—if even a lord of authority like Xia Xiang Guji was trapped in the casino and unable to extricate himself, wouldn't that affect the operation of Demon King City?
The gold-chained skeleton became excited upon hearing that name and immediately wanted to order the red-robed priest to sacrifice and summon Mentor to deliver food and replenish nutrition for his egg body.
【3 times is based on my understanding of the skeleton race... summarizing the extent...】
Xia Xiang looked around and found that there were not many low-level demons among the gamblers. Even if there was a low-level demon-level 478 Wailing Mask, it already owed hundreds of thousands in debt and didn't dare to kill.
【Just focusing on betting, we even forgot that Oogie Boogie isn't even in this room. We don't need to waste time here at all. Just understand the rules...】
The red robe realized that she couldn't stop the skeleton from reading her mind at all, so she simply gave up resisting.
Li Yue made a decision, and the other two Sons of the Devil had no objections.
【Wait a minute, bite your priest's butt... Can they read minds... Are they really skeletons...】
【Mind-strengthening potions aren't very useful... Lowering expectations for the outcome... also has an inhibitory effect on the curse...】
"How is the number of curses calculated?" The skeleton asked the red robe, but it was even more pointless.
"Is there any way to get rid of the curse?" the velvet-robed skeleton asked the most concerning question.
Since the red-robed priest's inner voice was so clear, Li Yue simply stopped acting and asked directly.
This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Even though Li Yue didn't know what use there was for a summoning technique that only sacrificed oneself to summon a teacher, he still shared the news with the other two Sons of the Devil.
As long as you provide gambling funds, you can obtain everything you want here, while also helping the Dice of Destiny steal everything and add to the greed.
A trace of regret flashed through the red-robed priest's mind, as if she herself was a bad example of verifying the curse.
But looking at the way the gold-chained skeleton's bones were itching, Li Yue wasn't so sure.
The red robe was very helpless, but unfortunately, she couldn't control herself at all.
【My sacrifice...?】
The skeleton in his arms directly characterized the red-robed priest.
Oh, that's right, the authority of the Library is shared by his brain and Budhibug, so maybe he's immune?
Li Yue originally wanted to win big in the casino, but he didn't expect to be cursed for no reason, leaving him with only one chance?
Li Yue had reservations about whether or not to summon Mentor—of course, not to have him deliver food to Yingying, but mainly because of the knowledge in his head.
"If their last summoning was successful, what did they summon?" The dice didn't notice the strangeness of the skeletons and the gambling puppet and asked mechanically.
【Isn't the casino's famous saying... You never truly leave.】
But suddenly, he noticed that the structure of the corridor seemed different from when they came.
"How are these 3 times calculated? The eight of us, if we gamble 3 times, we'll be trapped?" the velvet-robed skeleton asked again.
But once the Demon King Mentor is summoned, it will be difficult not to expose the fact that he is plotting against the Beast Fighting Arena. At that time, he will also have to consider the Demon King Mentor's attitude...
Maybe that's the case.
【I can summon Mentor, eh...】
The gold-chained skeleton rolled up the various bracelets on its arm and was about to attack the red-robed priest, completely disregarding her former status as a Son of the Devil.
The velvet-robed skeleton waved its hand, skipping that idea.
Are there fewer rooms?
