Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World

Chapter 82: Playing Time

Chorus! Tododok!

Two hexahedrons rolled around with a bounce and then suddenly stopped.

The total number of dots appearing on the upper surface was 7. It was a lucky number, but it meant nothing in the context of the Enfer Trip game.

The blue horse moved seven spaces, landing on Perias, the most expensive land. It was quite a stroke of luck, but the place already had an owner. Three large buildings had already been built there.

"Hahahaha! You've been caught, Your Majesty."

"Hmm."

"The toll is 100 gold."

"Can you give me a discount? I'll go bankrupt if I pay all that."

"Then the game is over."

"…"

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Towers of glittering gold coins continued to pile up before me. The amount of money already earned was over 500 gold.

I have practiced Burumabul so much since I was little that I am quite good at it. There is probably no in earth who doesn't know this game. But I never felt this thrill. It was almost like playing a game with gold bars at stake.

'I shouldn't get caught up in this kind of thing.'

That's why I thought people would go bankrupt because of gambling addiction.

But wait, since when have I been on an Enfer Trip?

When that thought suddenly occurred to me, I felt my blood run cold from head to toe.

'Oh, I washaving an audience, right?' It started with a simple question.

The board game I developed was also owned by the Emperor. Because the first-class product was sent as a gift as soon as it was made.

So the story about the Enfer Trip came up naturally. Then, empror decided to try a few rounds as a test, and he ended up losing 500 gold of the emperor's money.

'It was so much fun that I couldn't help but stop...'

That was a really dirty and inconsiderate act

I'm not usually like this, but after enjoying it for the first time in a while, I went a little overboard.

"Ahem! This is embarrassing. I will donate the money I earned today to the Imperial Development Fund." Find adventures at m_v l|e-NovelFire

It was a real-world bluff.

The richest family in the empire is the imperial family. And what kind of development fund I'm talking about?

But in order to appease the Iron-Blooded Emperor, I had no choice but to do something like this.

How well did my bluff work?

Emperor Charon curled the corners of his lips in a smirk.

"It's more exciting than I thought. It's also fun to walk into a place and see it perish."

"..."

"The title is also called 'Emfer Trip.' It's a game that fits perfectly with the end of the powerful."

He really is crazy.

How dare he interpret a healthy Monopoly-type game like that? It seemed like that person could burn people to death with just his harsh words.

I forced a smile and tried my best to change the subject.

"But why did you call me, Your Majesty?"

Haven't we only played board games so far?

There must be another real reason why he wanted to see me. I thought that would be the case, of course, if it was the Iron-Blooded Emperor Charon.

Besides, hasn't the story about the Duke of Sierra come out yet?

The emperor licked his lips and waved his hand roughly. Then, the board game on the table was quickly cleared away.

Ssssssss!

'is he a normal person? He's movements are amazing.'

I looked at the attendant Adit with a new expression of wonder. But the person just sat there silently, as if it was a given.

Is this the vibe that comes from being jammed?

Before I could calm my surprised mind, the emperor's mouth opened.

"That was fun."

"I worked hard to make it."

"Not that. Your trial."

"Ah, yes."

I thought he was talking about the Enfer Trip, but I guess he was talking about trial.

The time has finally come. He might ask why I made that choice.

I waited for the question, gathering my thoughts. But what followed was completely different from what I expected.

"I heard that Deliat has returned to normal to some extent now."

"Yes, the recovery work is in full swing. If things continue as they are, it looks like we will recover more than 80% within half a year."

"It must be because you brought in a huge amount of money."

"I just made good use of Deliat's resources."

"That is also your work."

There's no mention at all of the Duke of Sierre? It seemed like the successor to the Duke's family was nothing special.

The entire noble faction is shaking, yet they are so calm.

'As expected of the Iron-Blooded Emperor's way of thinking.'

Anyway, I was able to answer without any difficulty.

The practical work was done by the head butler, but I took care of the overall framework. The emperor nodded with a satisfied smile.

All the governors up until now have only experienced bitterness and returned, so how proud must he be that I am the only one who has succeeded. Because it raised the reputation of the royal family.

But the Emperor's words turned my head upside down once again.

"So that's what I'm saying."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You, governor, just stay for another half a year. Just develop it enough to be able to pay tribute properly."

"…"

For a moment I was at a loss for words.

The emperor did not even listen to the answer but suddenly got up and left. Refusal meant rejection. The audience thus ended with an absurd ending.

On the way back to the Duke's territory by carriage, I sat there with a blank expression for a while.

'No, is he crazy?'

I built our foundations from scratch and created everything from scratch. Everything from law to administration, economy, and social climate.

In fact, from now on, no matter who goes, there won't be any major problems reaching the 80% I mentioned.

Perhaps within a few years, Deliat will be able to regain its original appearance.

But he want me to finish that in half a year? To do that, I would need to invest more than twice as much money as I have now.

"If I want to save time, I have no choice but to spend money."

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to rush things. It just means that we're going to do it all at once. Anyway, it was an incredibly headache-inducing task.

'But I don't think it's impossible at all.'

Deliat had a huge workforce. If I use them properly, it's not that impossible.

Besides, I have a fraudulent feature called the Employee Management Window. It's as obvious as the back of your hand where they're doing something stupid.

"The question is where to get that money."

Cordyceps sinensis and board games alone would not be enough. Lending the revenue generated there to the Deliat autonomous government was also not a good option.

I'm not a philanthropist, so how long can I keep providing interest-free loans?

"Uh?"

At that very moment, my eyes fell on the bag of gold coins.

At first, I only had 50 gold, but before I knew it, it had increased by more than ten times.

It was a big difference from the board game. Then I thought I knew why the Emperor had said that.

'The price for sweeping up 500 gold is...'

Wow! I didn't see it like that, He's really petty.

The richest man on the continent, yet he put his capable cousin through such a tough time?

Anger welled up inside me, but at the same time, I felt relieved. At least this way, he recognize me as someone on the same side.

'Brother! I'm competent so you can use me, right?'

No matter how much I screamed inside, my damn cousin never answered.
