《Restarting life as a peasant》Chapter 9

City smeld crap, latrine carriers either didn't exist in this city or more likely they didn't do their jobs. Tim and I walk through the roads. I didn't intend to be here more than absolutely necessary. So I asked for the market. In the market Tim was surprised he asked "Why is everything so expensive here?" I said to Tim "I will explain why that is later" then I got in front of a blacksmiths bench. Prices were absolutely insane. He demanded a gold coin for a knife like one of mine. I showed him one of my knives and asked him how much he would pay. He inspected the knife and said "I give you 50 silver, no bargain kid." I said "How many you can buy" He said "How many you have?" I said "Ten" and he was very surprised. He said "I can buy it all" I laughed at him "I was kidding, I only have this one" He sulk took the knife and gave me 50 silver. Tim said "I worked nearly half a year and I got 2 golds 50 silver you work at the same time and…" He stopped speaking "We could have left this bad smelling place now, why didn't you accept his offer." I said "If he wasn't sure he could sell them quickly and would get a good profit from it, he would be willing to buy this many knives.” We get into a good inn. Rented a room with two beds. I said to Tim "I want money, my only idea for someone who would buy this many knives is some unsavory city gang. So I am going to dangerous places. You buy what you need, then return home quickly" I dropped my crate in the middle of the room. An inn like this had a reputation to protect so I wasn't worried.

I walked around the pubs, and brothels. Then I see Tim. A woman a few years older than him was holding his arm. I guessed that the woman was a honeytrap, and Tim was the victim. She brings him to the gambling table in the garden of an inn. He started playing timidly. Win a few rounds, while the woman is constantly pouring his cup with alcoholic drinks. While winning a point came. He put everything on the table. Including my not willingly given gift. He takes the dice, throws it. The other man threw his dice. While this happened I came close. It was snake eyes, one, one, the best dice in the game they played. Tim was scared screaming and crying and the other man said "Take the defeat like a man" I just grabbed the dice in a moment, took a wooden mug and crashed them while everybody looked in awe. I show what remains of the dice shouting "This dice is loaded! Look at this!" He started shouting back. "No, this is a setup, lets play with other dice" I said "I have two conditions, first we're going to double the bet, second I am going to play '' Tim looked at me with desperation. In my previous life I never gambled, because the house always wins and I already have bad luck. But this time this wasn't a gamble. Inn owner herself bringed a new set of dice. Both he and I weighed and controlled it with our hands. He threw the dice 6.6 came, he started laughing maniacally only thing better than 6.6 in this game is 1.1 I throw the dice let them spin a little then magic. With magic dice came 1.1. He was terrified. Started shouting and crying and I said to him "Lose like a man" Inn was probably working like a casino and no casino wants to show as a place people get played in front of their customers. So the innkeeper said "Pay up scum" He said "Please I don't have enough to pay 3.5 gold. She said "He doubled and you agreed, 7 gold" then two bulky guys put hands on the blackleg. He looked at me with fear and started to beg "Please young master, forgive me" The Innkeeper looked at me, and asked "What you want to do?" I asked back "Do you have a cleaver?" She birgned a bulky cleaver, I said to him "Which hand do you like the least?" He was terrified but managed to say Left" I said to bulky guys `` Hold his right hand" Then he dropped acting. He was probably willing to get a good beating for not giving me seven golds, but getting his arm chopped off was too far for him. He said to the girl "Give him" she just gave me seven golds. I said to Tim "Take your stuff"
