Demon Laws
Chapter 52: Sia Status Increases

Dewey had basically already handed over the gambling venture to Sia, as he could not do so. Even though he was unemployed, because in the punishment period, he could not leave the castle to see his gambling business.

Sia the former horse giver's status underwent a major change. Everyone knows that ‘Mr Manager’, who was exiled to the Rollin Plains with the Young Master who lost his affection, is a former horse feeder. The top leader of the waiter here is Hill. Although Sia had the title of caretaker, it was only a glass.

Another is with now. He was the caretaker of Young Master Dewey, who led the gambling business throughout the Rollin Plain, half of Cotte Province.

Now that Sia is out, the casino bosses almost always send people to greet this Master Manager enthusiastically. Wherever Sia went, she would be followed by people from the gambling industry.

They all waited and wished Mr. Sia a pleasure, then gave them an advantage.

Under Dewey's instructions, Sia once pretended to accidentally leak the odds of a football match. As a result the casino owners who gamble outside get a small profit.

Dewey knew very well human nature. Although the exclusive management rights of the gambling business had been monopolized by Dewey, there were still many people who followed him secretly.

That is why the gambling business in his previous life could not be eradicated.

Dewey did not want to be the cause of the gambling trend in the Rollin Plain. Since it could not be blocked, it could only guide it.

Dewey patted his head and made a decision. Starting today, all gambling in surrounding cities will be temporarily halted. Dewey's gonna make repairs.

He just moved his mouth, Sia took care of it.

Dewey patiently gave Sia three days of emergency training. He taught Sia many things no matter how much Sia could understand.

For things that were not understood, Sia could only ponder on the road.

First, Young Master Dewey said that next time betting the ball should not be said to be ‘bet’. The Young Master created a strange object that could be sold to the public before the ball game began. Although the results of the test matches were the same, the pattern of play was slightly different.

“Other times we are no longer a bookmaker that accepts bets, but a store that sells products. What we sell is football lottery.” Dewey's expression was very serious, even somewhat holy when saying the sentence. Silent for a moment, the Young Master added. “Lain times don't say ‘betuhan’ again. This is not a bet, but a legal game.”

Why is it called legal? Dewey made one of the simplest criteria.10% of his income will be donated to local governing bodies.

Alright.

No matter how much Sia understood, she could only bring a few servants to some nearby town to do the football lottery business that Young Master had said.

There's extras. Before leaving, Sia could not help but ask, “Young Master, we want to open a store, then our store must have a name, right?”

“Football Lottery Center!” dewey replied quickly.

So in the future, Mr. Sia Manager will have one more title, namely the manager of the Football Lottery Center.

The second thing Dewey ordered to Sia was that Dewey was about to make a major adjustment to the current ‘liga’.

As of now, all the teams and players in the league were still using a thousand castle warriors. And the repair period of the soldiers is almost over now.

If he still let the soldiers play football all day and neglected the army training, Dewey was worried the old housekeeper would complain again in his letter to be sent to the imperial capital.

Therefore, Dewey wanted to establish a real league.

The castle guard troops now only maintained the formation of the next team. Dewey had Sia go to several cities to form a team in each city. The game of football had already swept across the entire Rollin Plain by now. It doesn't seem difficult to find dozens to twenty people to play in every small town.

After that, teams in any city can start playing in a league. The idea made Sia very excited.

Based on Dewey's calculations, this league seems to be very profitable at the moment. Firstly, Roland era players would not ask for high signing fees and wages. Most of the players were farmers, craftsmen, carpenters, blacksmiths, miners, even barbers. Everyone is very happy to play football once in a while. The reward of one two gold coins per month was enough to make them run on the field with vigor.

The huge revenue from the football lottery is enough to pay those players.

However, Dewey did not give up on getting the maximum profit. He even asked Sia to look for one of the biggest fur traders in a nearby town. The merchant had long supplied all kinds of feathers to the Rollin family.

Dewey promised that in the future ‘liga football’, the players in the local city will wear uniforms as they play. Each player's clothing will be written the name of the leather merchant's shop.

Given the popularity of this game in which a crowd of spectators will surround the town square every time football is played, fur traders generously pay Dewey 500 gold coins as cost ‘hak naming’ for next year.

That way, the official name of this city team becomes ‘Tim Soccer Shop Kroner Fur Town Emerald Plain Rollin’.

Dewey sold the league's first-team naming rights ahead of Sia, then Sia's job was to figure out a way to sell the naming rights of his next twelve league teams to wealthy local businessmen.

After all of these things were put together, Sia looked at the Young Master whom she had been carrying since childhood with an adoring gaze.

Who said that Young Master is an idiot?

Have you ever seen an idiot who made tens of thousands of gold coins using only his mouth?

Sia's leg was almost broken. He traveled to nearly a dozen cities on the Rollin Plain from south to north, east to west. Twelve teams were eventually formed. In addition, the naming rights of the twelve teams were eventually sold.

Dewey ignored strange names like ‘Team XX’ Ornamental Store or ‘Team XX’ Weapon Store. He was very satisfied with the thousands of gold coins brought home by Sia. Twelve football teams sold for five thousand gold coins.

“Sia, are you interested in serving as the first association chairman of Rollin Plain football?”

So, in addition to the title ‘lord manager’ and ‘chairman of the Football Lottery Center’, now a cool-sounding cloth title appears in the mind of Sia. Head of football association.

Although he did not fully understand what ‘head of association football’ was, Sia was deeply moved because the Young Master considered it important. Therefore, he gladly accepted Young Master's advice.

Dewey's mood was great.

The five thousand gold coins that Sia brought home were enough to overcome her economic problems.

The football league has not started yet, the football lottery earnings have not been seen. Five thousand gold coins sold the naming rights became Dewey's only capital.

Fucking solskjaer. He spent thousands more gold coins and there had been no progress.

With these thousands of gold coins, Dewey could sigh in relief. While pleased, Dewey invited the Chairman of the Football Association to see his new invention.

Behind the castle where Dewey developed fireworks, Sia again looked at her Young Master respectfully even though she had no idea what the Young Master was working on this time.

The thing in front of him was like a big basket.

Hm, right. It's a big basket. Big enough to hold three to five people. The edge of the basket was very high, about as waist-deep as people. When standing inside, it was like sitting on an open carriage.

The top is a large round object sewn from a cowhide piece, floating on top of a shell.

Yeah, a big balloon.

Beneath it was a furnace that was grilling balloons. Roasting balloon gas.

The color of the flame is very bright. Dewey gave a little magic in this link. It was the fire magic he had just learned. Solskjaer made something like an additive that would further enhance the combustion effect of gunpowder.

“This is called a hot air balloon, Sia.” Dewey smiled happily.

This is the result of his hard work for a month. Although during the manufacturing process nearly fifty pieces of cowhide were damaged, the skins were purchased at a low price from the fur trader who first bought the naming rights of the team.

Ignoring Sia's confused gaze, Dewey briefly introduces his new invention.

Sia, the former horse feeder, caretaker, manager of the Football Lottery Center, and current head of the football association, felt almost unconscious. He looked at his Young Master while saying with a stutter. “Young Master, ma ... You mean, this thing can fly? You said ‘terbang’? I didn't hear wrong, did I?”

“True, Sia.” Dewey smiled as he said, “Now, I give you the honor to feel the first test flight with me. This is a historic moment. You are the first human to fly into the sky without the help of magic or other magical creatures.”

The next experience was like a dream for Sia.

Dewey cut the rope tied to the basket with a knife. The huge buoyancy of the hot air balloon slowly lifted Dewey and Sia who were in the basket.

As the basket left the ground bit by bit and got higher, everyone held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound. They only looked up at Dewey and Sia who were getting taller with their eyes bulging.

Some even drool and forget to wipe it.

For people living in an era without flying machines, this scene is simply breathtaking.

After the hot air balloon brought Dewey and Sia to the top of the castle, the artisans on the ground cheered loudly. Everyone knelt down and praised the great god with a takwa voice.

Compared to the person cheering on the ground, Sia felt that both her legs were already limp.

The first time ‘terbang’ to the sky made both of Sia's legs continue to tremble as it left the ground. His face paled, both eyes widened, teeth cracked, both hands clutching the edge of the basket.

“How, Sia?” Dewey looked down. The air balloon slowly floated. Judging from this height, the scenery around the castle, both the mountains and the forest became boundless.

“Isn't this view very unforgettable?” Dewey was very satisfied.

“Young Master ...” Sia took a sip of saliva before asking, “Um. This.it's so magical. But .. but I want to ask. We've flown this high, how do we land?”

“ ...” Dewey's expression changed. He glanced at Sia at a glance, then his expression turned strange. “Wire, I only know how to fly, but do not know how to make it land.”

“Young Master, you are the most genius person I have ever seen. Huek!!”

“Sia! You vomited into my body!”

After feeling excited, the people below started looking at each other. “When did Young Master get off? It's almost dinner time, right?”

At dusk, the hot air balloon flew higher and further away from the boundless sunset.

What a beautiful world, right?
