Chapter 7: Bet With the System
Nolan followed Layla upstairs.
She led him to a chamber.
The chamber had good furniture. A double bed stick close to the wall with a wooden drawer to the side. The room also had a table which was currently next to the wall. And in the center of the room was a wooden bathtub.
"Sir, please enjoy your bath," Layla said and left the chamber.
Nolan could see the vapor from the hot water above the bathtub.
He didn't want to waste more time, so he quickly took off his old clothes.
He entered the bathtub and lay inside. "Ahhh!" He let out a long sigh of satisfaction. "This is heaven…"
He enjoyed the hot bath for almost an hour till the water had gone cold. After all, this was his first time bathing in hot water, so he enjoyed it till the last moment.
When he came out of the bathtub, he squeezed his hair. He saw a white towel on the bed, most likely prepared for him, so he took it and wiped his body.
He took the items out of the inventory and placed them on the bed.
Previously, when wiping his body, he noticed a comb on the table, so he took it now and combed his long black hair. He then took the white jade hairpin, which perfectly matched his black hair, and tied his hair.
After he dressed in the black hanfu and put on the brown leather boots, he sat on the bed and took out the sword from the Reward inventory.
He drew the blade out of the sheath and placed the sheath on the bed.
"Store!" He stored the sword in the inventory. Though he only wanted to store the blade, the sheath disappeared too. It was stored with the blade as one.
"I see. That explains why I still have the sheath even though I dropped it when the fight started." Nolan muttered.
He then tried storing the sword in the Reward inventory and the sheath in the inventory simultaneously, but the same happened.
"Ahh, what do I do?" He rubbed the back of his head in frustration. "Yes…" An idea popped into his mind.
He placed the blade and the sheath on the bed, next to each other.
"System, store the sword in the Reward inventory and the sheath in the inventory."
[The system judges the host's decision wrong]
[The system stored the blade and the sheath as one in the Reward inventory]
Those messages made Nolan's blood boil.
"Fuc.king system, did I ask you to correct me? Just do what the fuck I told you to do!"
["…"]
[The system has separated the sheath and the blade]
[The system transferred the sheath to the inventory]
[The blade remains in the Reward inventory]
"Thank you! Do you know that your actions could cost me my head?"
[The decisions made by the system are the best decisions the host could make]
"Host, the decision the system made blah, blah blah! Shut the fuck up!" Nolan stood up from the bed.
["…"]
"After tonight, I would like to see you still say that the decision you made to place the blade and the sheath as one would not have killed me." Nolan was about to leave the chamber, but a thought popped into his mind, and he stopped. The thought made tears flow down his eyes.
"Hahaha!" He laughed in tears as he fell to his knees. A crazy good idea came to his mind. "System, wanna make a bet?"
[The system demands explanation]
"It's simple. If I was right and storing the blade separated from the sheath saved my life, you give me ten allocation points. If you were right, I would receive electroshock for 10 minutes. What do you say?" Nolan proposed his crazy idea. No matter how he tried, he couldn't hide his smile. "Let's also add that If you win the bet, I will never curse at you ever again. What do you say?"
[Bet]
"Hahahah! Foolish system." He stood up and sat on the bed. He noticed the comb on the bed and stored it in the inventory. After a few minutes, he calmed down and left the chamber.
He headed downstairs to the room where the people ate and drank. The table in the corner where he sat before was still empty, so he sat there.
Layla ran around, serving the customers.
Nolan raised his hand.
Layla noticed his hand and came to him. "Sir, what would you like to order?" She asked politely with a blush on her face. She didn't seem to recognize Nolan.
"Two jars of the wine you served me before," Nolan said with a gentle smile, looking forward to the two large ceramic jars of wine.
"Amm…Sir, I don't think I served you before." Layla said, confused.
"What?" She confused Nolan. "Ahh. I'm the beggar from before." He said, realizing that she couldn't recognize him.
She got closer to take a better look at his face. "It's really you!" She exclaimed, finally recognizing him. "But are you sure? The wine you drank before is the strongest and the most expensive wine we have."
As she said this, the smile on Nolan's face grew. "Perfect, then I would trouble you to bring me two jars."
"As you wish. I will bring them to you in a few minutes." She rushed to the door behind which was most likely the kitchen. It took her a few minutes to bring the wine jars, but instead of leaving after placing them on the table, she sat with him.
She filled his bowl with wine. "Please." She passed him the bowl with a smile.
'Huh. Trying to seduce me so you could get some information. It's so obvious. But it's okay. I will play your game.' Nolan took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"Ahhh! This wine tastes even sweeter than before. Is It because a beauty filled it for me?" He said as he passed her the empty bowl.
Layla blushed as she filled the bowl again.
[Inspect]
Nolan used [Inspect] on the wine.
[Flower wine]
[Sweet wine with 1,5 percent alcohol]
'Only 1,5? This wine would never get me drunk.' He thought as he drank the bowl in one gulp again.
This process of his drinking and Layla filling his bowl continued for about half-hour till one of the ceramic jars emptied.
"Sir, you are very handsome and strong." Layla placed her hand on Nolan's knee. "Where did you come from?" She asked seductively.
"Ic-I came from far away. Ic- a land far away." Nolan waved the empty bowl in the air.
"Alright, alright. There is still a lot of wine left." Layla took his hand. She took the bowl from his hand and filled it again.
"Sir, are you really a sorcerer?" She got closer to Nolan, trying to seduce him.
"I am. But don't ask me to show you a spell. Ic- I can't." Nolan said in a low voice.
"Ohh? Why?" Layla asked, lowering her voice too.
"Come closer."
Layla got closer to him and let him whisper in her ear.
"Tonight, maybe someone would attack me, so I must be prepared. I'm saving my magic power."
"I see, but what do you think of the woman that called you into her room tonight?" She asked. She went even further and placed Nolan's left hand on her chest, making him forcibly squeeze it. "How do I compare to her?"
No one could say Layla was not beautiful. She was even comparable to Rosalia.
"I don't want to be rude, but you can't compare to her. She must be an angel." Nolan withdrew his hand from her chest.
She got the information she wanted, so she continued pouring him wine without asking any questions till the second jar emptied.
Nolan fell asleep on the table, drunk.
The moment Nolan fell asleep, the innkeeper and Finn entered the room and came to Nolan's table.
"How is it?" The innkeeper asked.
"He admitted that he is a sorcerer. But most importantly, he has completely fallen for the boss. After tonight, he would be completely obsessed with the boss." Layla replied.
"Good job." The innkeeper tossed Layla a silver tael.
"Take him," Finn said. All the men who sat and chatted in the room instantly stood up and took Nolan, carrying him outside the inn.
They carried him somewhere for a half-hour before finally arriving in front of a large yard with about a two-meter high wall fence. They entered the yard and stood in front of a two-story stone house.
The house had a wooden terrace on the second floor lightened with red lanterns.
Before the house entrance, the people who carried Nolan handed him to Finn and left the yard.
Carrying him, Finn entered the house and headed straight to the second floor.
The second floor was just a big, empty room with only a big bed in the center. The bed had a cornice from which hung red curtains preventing curious eyes from spying on what was happening on the bed.
"Boss, I brought him," Finn said. And just a second later, the red curtains moved, and Rosalia came out completely naked.
Her large chest bounced with every step as she walked to Finn.
Finn blushed, and who wouldn't? His boss's large chest hung before him, and he could see her big a.ss. He could see every inch of her body.
His little brother woke up instantly.
However, he still kept his serious face. After all, he didn't want to lose his life or his little brother.
"Bring him to the bed." She said. She thought Nolan must have made some trouble, so Finn knocked him unconscious. "Don't worry. After I finish here, I will take care of you." She whispered in his ear, her bare breasts touching Finn's chest, and on top of that, for a second, she held his already bone-hard little brother.
Finn gulped hard, but his serious face remained unchanged, though every other inch of his body said otherwise.
Rosalia got out of his way.
Finn obeyed the order and tossed Nolan on the bed. Rosalia followed to the bed and lay above Nolan. She started stripping his clothes off, but she instantly stopped when the smell of alcohol reached her nose.
Nolan reeked of alcohol.
"What happened to him? He reeks of alcohol." Rosalia asked as she stood up from the bed and headed to Finn, who stood a few meters from the bed.
"Boss, he drank two jars of flower wine." He replied, looking at the ground in guilt.
"Did he say something?" She knew they must have tried to question him while drunk.
"Boss, he had completely fallen for you," Finn replied with a smile. "He is in your hands."
"I see." A smile of satisfaction spread on Rosalia's face. "No matter If a sorcerer or a noble, no one could resist my body."
However, the next second the smile on Finn's face vanished. His expression turned grim.
He stretched his hand toward Rosalia, but too late.
Sloop!
A sword cleanly pierced her from behind. Rosalia's eyes widened in shock as she touched the sword piercing through her heart with her last strength.
"Boss!" Finn screamed.
Nolan quickly took the sword out of Rosalia's body, and while Finn was still in shock, he pierced him through the stomach.
"Y-You." Blood flowed down Finn's mouth. "You are not drunk?"
"Kekekeke! Drunk? Can such a weak wine make me drunk?"
"But, were you not in love with the boss?"
"Hah? Love!!? I hate sluts like those more than anything that could exist!!!" Nolan screamed as he took out the sword from Finn's body.
Finn fell to the ground. "I don't wanna die.' He whispered with his last bit of strength and died.
