"Master, what you mean is that it is the soul that is immortal, and the body will still die, but it will be reborn immediately every time?"
"As expected of my Anna, you understand very quickly. Not only that, every time Gray is reborn, he will be stronger than the last time. What a headache."
Some RPG games have the concept of multi-play inheritance, which is to keep everything the character controlled by the player has obtained and start the story again from the beginning. The corresponding monsters will also become stronger. For the eternity of "Gray", the only thing that becomes stronger is itself, and the race may also change in reincarnation.
"——Humans are indeed amazing. We all admire them."
The goblin boss prepared the food and joined the conversation with a smile while serving it. Some people would think this is impolite, but the hospitable goblins have the concept of being familiar with others, so there is nothing wrong with it.
"There are many powerful humans in Kilmallock. The president of the largest Chamber of Commerce in Kilmallock is a human, and so is the star of the casino recently."
"Oh, you mean the man in the casino? I've never seen anyone as good as him. He makes a lot of money every time, and wins nine times out of ten."
"How on earth did he do that? It's a pity he doesn't accept any disciples."
The goblins also joined the discussion. It seems that there is a human who is very popular in the casino in Kilmallock recently.
Anna pursed her lips slightly.
"Nine times out of ten, I win... Do gamblers like this really exist..."
"Who knows? Anyway, the law of conservation of luck is a complete fraud."
Angelica understood this well. Every time she drew a card, she would comfort herself that if she was unlucky this time, she would definitely be lucky next time. But in fact, there is no such thing as the conservation of luck. If she was unlucky this time, she might be even more unlucky next time.
"Anna thinks that person might have some tricks up his sleeve."
"Either it's a victory through skill, or... cheating. Both are rare tricks among goblins."
For the fairies, the competition in the casino is just about luck. They may use some language techniques to deliberately lure others into playing cards, but it is absolutely impossible for anyone to cheat.
People from other races often cheat, and in the eyes of some gamblers who make a living by cheating, fairies are easy targets for deception. However, fairies are kind and not fools. Once they find cheating, they will still choose to expel the cheater. It is impossible for them to not punish him.
"If Anna is interested, we can go to the casino later. Now let's enjoy the goblin food."
"Goblin cuisine...very unique food."
Anna picked up the skewer next to the plate. On the other side of the skewer was a roasted tender...
insect.
Yes, it's bugs.
Angelica has already started enjoying it. It is roasted to a crispy and charred texture, undoubtedly a top-quality delicacy. If there is one flaw, it is probably the appearance.
Countless bugs gathered on the plate, which would definitely cause physical disgust at first glance. Angelica didn't like bugs, and she thought it was a vulgar joke when she first saw it. However, the Fairy Island is rich in spices. On the one hand, the fairies use spices to trade with other races, and on the other hand, they do not neglect their cooking skills.
Many fairies are skilled in using spices, so even though the insect dishes look ugly, the aroma they emit is enough to offset the disgust and arouse the appetite in the stomach.
Anna put it in her mouth, it was indeed a delicious delicacy. Her taste buds were no different from those of humans, but they could adjust according to their own needs. Taste was meaningless to the puppet, and the puppet only needed magic power.
Goblins live underground, so insect dishes have become a racial characteristic of goblins. However, the insect dishes enjoyed by Angelica and Anna were the result of spices, and Angelica declined the original insect dishes.
"It's a delicacy worth recording...it would be nice if I could know how it was made."
"I can teach you."
The goblin boss agreed without even thinking twice, as goblins have never had the concept of keeping their secret recipes secret.
"Thank you very much. In exchange, I will show off a little and share with you some cooking recipes I know."
"Hehe~ I feel like if Anna travels long enough, she'll become a cooking master."
Angelica joked. Of course, she was happy to see Anna's growth. She could also learn it herself. Unfortunately, Miss Witch was a little lazy. It was indeed the right decision to have an almighty maid by her side. In the future, if Angelica wanted to eat a variety of dishes, she wouldn't have to make a special trip.
197 Goblins and Humans
The casino in Kilmallock is open 24 hours a day. Since goblins cannot see the sun, it is common for them to stay out at night and stay indoors during the day. However, goblins who have started a family will adjust their schedule so as not to conflict with their family members.
After Anna learned how to cook the goblins' food, the two of them toured the customs and culture of Kilmallock and came to the casino. It seemed that they came at the right time, as the casino was very busy.
The variety of casinos in Kilmallock is unexpectedly rich, because the goblins have the characteristic of actively absorbing the interesting cultures of various races, so the casino environment can always develop.
"Is Anna interested in gambling?"
"As for Anna, she's probably the type that can't feel the sense of winning from luck."
Angelica and Anna were moving among the bustling crowd. Thinking that she didn't seem to know much about Anna's hobbies in this area, Angelica took the opportunity to talk to Anna about gambling.
"As a doll, Anna is inclined to calculate and is better at calculation than people without professional training, so in my opinion, these are just repetitive and boring calculations. If the master is happy to compare the luck, Anna is willing to turn off the calculation and compete seriously with the master."
"That's not necessary. I'm not that interested in gambling. Almost every time I travel for a long time, I meet people whose families have been ruined by gambling. For me, it's enough to know how to take off other girls' clothes."
It's not that Angelica doesn't trust her luck, it's just that she can't enjoy the pleasure that comes from investing a lot of money.
"The goblin casino is different from other places. They are there to enjoy themselves. They won't bet a lot of money, nor will they indulge in it."
"Well...I see there are children."
"Because the goblin casinos strictly control the number of chips each person carries, children can't cause any trouble no matter what."
Angelica and Anna were quite lucky on this trip. They didn't need to ask or wait specifically. They soon found the legendary human in the Goblin Casino. Many goblins were surrounding him, and the goblins' cheers and wails could be heard one after another. The latter were undoubtedly goblins who had lost their chips.
Although he is known as a legendary human, his appearance is unremarkable. He is a lean and capable man. He lives in Kilmallock and also wears glasses.
The goblin who was playing dice with the man quickly lost all his chips and left the table dejected. Soon other goblins took his place.
The goblins who lost all their chips would also feel depressed, but they would quickly put this loss behind them and cheer themselves up to do other things. As Angelica said, no goblin would indulge in it, they would just enjoy the happiness purely.
“There doesn’t seem to be any special technique.”
Angelica observed for a while and found that the man did not seem to be cheating, but he did win more than he lost. Since he was not a beautiful girl, Angelica soon lost interest.
But the man's next action caught Angelica's attention.
When a goblin sat down, the man immediately stood up and changed to a new card table. He would scan each card table and choose the right time to act.
Every time he joined a card table, he would make a lot of money. Some goblins would lose all their chips, and when new goblins took their seats, he would leave according to the situation and repeat the process.
The most important point is that men carry a mirror with them and will repeatedly take it out to check their faces.
Angelica didn't think he was handsome and his hair was even a little messy, and it was obvious that he didn't like to take care of it.
Well, there is only one reason for a man to carry a mirror with him.
After making another big profit, the legendary man of the casino took another look around to confirm if he had missed anything. Then, with a bulging wallet and a satisfied smile, the man prepared to leave the casino.
"Please stay."
Angelica and Anna appeared in front of the man, who was so focused on gambling that he didn't seem to notice that someone was following him.
The man immediately became alert when he found out that the person who called him was a fellow human being.
"Who are you?"
"A traveler who happened to be passing through Kilmallock heard that there was a super powerful human in the casino, so he came to observe. But the result was somewhat disappointing."
Angelica tapped the frame of her glasses.
"You're able to win more and lose less, all thanks to the enchantment of your glasses, right? If I'm not mistaken, it's probably an enchantment that quantifies luck."
Kilmalek's glasses enchantment can quantify many abstract concepts. Previously in the restaurant, some goblins claimed that their glasses could quantify their appearance and combat effectiveness. In this case, it is not surprising that there is an enchantment that can reflect luck as a number.
"You always choose the card table carefully. In fact, you are measuring everyone's luck, and then use the mirror you carry with you to confirm your own luck for comparison. When you determine that it is profitable, you will wait for an opportunity to join that card table. In this way, you can make money every time. If the luck value of the newly joined goblin is not worth a head-on confrontation, you will choose to leave decisively. Am I right?"
The man's face showed some dejection and uneasiness, but he quickly calmed down.
"So you're here to expose me?"
"No, according to the goblins' rules, you didn't cheat."
"Of course, you know it."
The enchantment of glasses has a random element, and the goblins believe that no one can decide what their own enchantment is, so they will not refuse people whose enchantment effect quantifies luck from entering the casino.
It seems that the man discovered the characteristics of the goblins, so he took the opportunity to live in the underground city of Kilmallock. The enchantment would be ineffective if he left Kilmallock, so he could only make a fortune here.
Granted, this enchantment is not considered cheating by the goblins, but -
"I'm just curious about one thing... Did you know that goblins are a race that won't use this trait for their own benefit?"
In fact, the enchanted effect is to quantify luck, and there are definitely more than just the pair of glasses that men wear. However, no goblin would choose to use the numerical value of their luck to choose a card table that is favorable to them every time.
The man's voice became louder, as if his tail had been stepped on.
"That's because they are stupid! They have the means to become rich but they don't know how to use it!"
However, the man regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking. Judging from the way the girl was dressed, she might be a magician. If she was going to seek justice for the goblins, he, a human who couldn't use magic, would definitely not be her match.
But Angelica didn't say anything, and she seemed to have no interest in even looking at the Kilmallock Casino Legend again. The man, who felt he had saved his life, left the casino as if he was running for his life.
"Goblins and humans are... very different."
The Automata beside the witch muttered to itself after the man disappeared.
198 Miss Witch and the Measure of Value
"There are some differences between goblins and humans. Humans tend to think about the value of enchanted glasses and feel uneasy about their privacy being pried into. Goblins don't think that way. They will use enchanted glasses only to confirm the patient's vitality when treating the patient."
"Master, do we need to go after that man?"
"No need. Kilmallock is a goblin city. According to the goblin rules, it is not considered cheating. Besides, if the customs of Kilmallock are not changed, there will always be people who get glasses that can see the luck value and come to the casino to seek private gifts."
Angelica couldn't help but feel annoyed when she said this.
"Why are the values shown by my glasses so weird? I also want to have a pair of cool glasses. It would be best if I could see the values of all the beautiful girls' feelings towards me."
Angelica has been paying attention to the values displayed by her glasses, but she can't figure out any pattern. She thought it was related to age, but some young people have very high values, while some older people have very low values. She really can't figure out what it means.
"Ahem...Mr. Magician, if you also want to make a fortune like that man, I can provide you with an opportunity."
A voice suddenly came from behind Angelica. She turned around and saw a man dressed like a servant, with his head lowered respectfully.
When it comes to opportunities to make money, Angelica's eyes light up.
"Eh? You want me to be a model? You have to pay me a good price."
"My master is the president of the Kilmalek Underground Chamber of Commerce. The master invites you to the Chamber of Commerce for a chat. If you are interested, I will lead the way for you."
The servant revealed his identity, and Angelica recalled that when they were dining in the restaurant, the goblins did mention that the president of the largest guild of commerce in Kilmalek was also a human.
It is indeed a good place to go if you want to get information about the descendants of heroes.
Angelica accepted the servant's invitation. The headquarters of the Kilmalek Underground Chamber of Commerce was not far from the casino, and it took about fifteen minutes to get there. The city where the goblins lived had no means of transportation, and at most there were wheelchairs prepared for goblins with limited mobility.
The servant brought Angelica and Anna to the VIP reception room, where the president of the Chamber of Commerce had been waiting for a long time.
The president was over fifty years old, wearing a gentleman's hat and a pair of street lamp pendants... the attire of a smart man. He seemed to think highly of Angelica, and he stood up and took off his hat to welcome Angelica.
Angelica was not humble or evasive. Anna stood behind Angelica, ready to take Angelica's orders at any time.
"Mr. President, I don't think we have met before. I guess you recognized my outstanding talent and unparalleled beauty through my glasses, so you invited me here, right?"
"Hmm...it seems that you have a full understanding of your magical talent. I feel relieved."
The president was relieved instead, as he had been worried that Angelica might be the kind of hermit.
Although Angelica did not spread the word that she was a witch in Kilmallock, considering the characteristics of the enchanted glasses, there must be no shortage of glasses that can see age, which is enough to conclude that she is an immortal witch, so Angelica simply did not hide it.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce is a shrewd businessman. He invited Angelica because he discovered her talent, and that is exactly what happened.
"One of my servants got a pair of glasses that can see the amount of magic that each person has learned. He said that the amount of magic you have learned is the most among all the magicians in Kilmalek. I guess you are a hidden great magician. I happen to have a business that requires cooperation with the great magician."
"I came here because I heard from your servant that there is an opportunity to make money, but I also need to see what kind of business it is."
"Kilmalek has a unique magic that can transform glasses into magic items with tangible values. My glasses have also received this blessing, which gives me the ability to see the value that everyone can bring to me."
"value?"
Angelica thought the concept was a bit too general, but the Chamber of Commerce president patiently explained it.
"A chef has his own talents, a king has his own talents, and everyone has different abilities. My glasses reflect these abilities. Through these glasses, I can tell whether the workers who come to apply for a job are really hardworking or lazy. If a person is very talented but the value is very low, it means that he either likes to be lazy or is dissatisfied with his current treatment and incites others to change jobs or protest with him... The value brought by such a person will be reflected by a very low value."
"Specifically, it's the profit that each person can bring to you, right?"
Angelica roughly understood what the Chamber of Commerce President meant. Although this was an extremely abstract concept, magic could indeed manifest it.
According to the president of the Chamber of Commerce, his glasses will help him to directly exclude those who are incompetent or disloyal, because their value will be measured by the glasses. The president of the Chamber of Commerce does not need people who are always thinking about promotion or salary increase. He hopes that every employee can work honestly and not have any messy thoughts.
"Almost. I think this enchantment... is a wonderful thing. It can accurately remove worthless employees and leave only capable or obedient people. But the only drawback is that the glasses enchanted by Kilmalek are only limited to this city. I can't bring this talent to other places."
