Overgeared

Chapter 43

‘These damn f**kers.’

I was arrested before the quest succeeded and dragged to Winston Castle. It had already been an hour since I was trapped in an interrogation room.

“Several people witnessed you talking to Huroi in front of Khan’s smithy. Did you already know that Huroi was planning to contact Earl Steim?”

“So what if I knew?”

“…It was a resident of Winston who entrusted Huroi to contact Earl Steim. Since you are close to the residents, don’t you know who that person is?”

“So what if I know?”

“Then aren’t you one of them?”

“No? Are you stupid?”

“…”

I made a much better dagger than that girl called Erina. In other words, the quest to make an item was going to end with my victory and I would’ve earned 600 gold. However, due to this unreasonable arrest, the quest had failed. Thanks to these bastards, my 720,000 won had flown away!

“I don’t think you know what position you’re in… If you continue to be so carefree, you will regret it.”

I talked back to the knight who was trying to intimidate me. “Shut up, you rotten bastard. Are you a comedian now? I want you to lose your heads immediately. I have no connection with Huroi. So let me out right now!”

I knew that I could be tortured and locked up in prison, or killed. But I was the incarnation of anger after losing my 720,000 won.

‘How many bowls of mackerel is 720,000 won?’

I was so angry that I spat curses at the knights. “You ridiculous jerk! I will remember all of this, Ugly! One day I will return to squeeze 600 gold out of you, so release me now.”

“Look at this guy. He keeps talking nonsense!”

The youngest knight pulled out his sword. I flinched, but soon changed my attitude.

“Kill me, you motherfu*ker.”

“This rascal isn’t scared until the end!”

The knight couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed forward. I closed my eyes and accepted death. Why? In this situation, it was better to die.

‘If I die, I will be resurrected in the square. I can’t stay stuck here. It is better to die and resurrect, even if it means losing experience.’

I was concerned about Khan. In the worst case scenario, I wasn’t the presumed winner so the Mero Company would obtain the smithy. If so, Khan would die. The class quest I received would naturally be destroyed!

“Kill me quickly, you son of a b*tch!”

I couldn’t log out here. I had to die, resurrect and meet Khan. Then a quick-witted middle aged knight came forward and stopped the hasty young knight.

“Hey Leo, calm down. Aren’t you aware of it? He has an immortal body. Killing him will just release him into the field.”

Dammit, this plan failed. I kept provoking the young knight, hoping he would lose his temper.

“Hey, you aren’t going to kill me? You can’t kill me? Are you scared? What type of knight are you? You pathetic bastard, can’t you eat chili? You will die a bachelor! If you die, you will become a ghost. A ghost who peeps at girls taking a bath!”

“Ugh…y-you…”

The young knight called Leo’s hands shook as he held his sword. It wouldn’t be strange if he stabbed me right away. But Leo refrained from attacking me. He bit his lip so hard that blood emerged. It would work if I insulted him a bit more.

“This… oof? Oof!”

I tried to provoke Leo further, but somebody shut me up.
