Overgeared

Chapter 1609

Knight, someone who was known to the public as the death god. A person who consumed the target’s ‘soul gauge’ to deal a definite death. Unlike his ID, his notoriety was quite high because his ability specialized in assassination. Some people said that his assassination-related potential was comparable to Faker.

Lauel paid attention to his personality. Cool-headed, yet tenacious. He clearly distinguished when to back down and when not to back down. He didn’t compromise easily. If faced with an unfavorable situation, he seemed to give up without any regrets, but in the end, he produced results. If 10 people escaped from Knight’s assassination, nine of them would suffer a mysterious death one day.

An inspector who needed to dive into the tiger’s lair and gather evidence to hunt the tiger. It was judged that there were few people more suitable than Knight to carry out the mission that had constant exposure to danger and temptation.

Of course, Knight found it absurd. He was moved by Lauel’s effort to recruit him, so he joined the Overgeared Guild. But... his first assignment was unexpected. An assassin acting as an inspector?

‘In the first place, are there any fools who have a traitorous mind against the present empire?’

The Overgeared Empire used the absolute armed force and popularity of Grid as the backdrop for its birth. Not only did it absorb Saharan intact, but it received tribute for all nations on the continent. Was there a nobleman who dared to have a traitorous mind when Grid’s power pierced the sky? If there was such a person, he was either impatient or a stupid person. He wouldn’t be appointed lord in the first if he was these things.

Knight’s thoughts changed a short time later.

‘Eyes and ears can’t reach here.’

The Overgeared Empire was too wide. It was natural since almost all of the continent was the territory of the empire. The further away from the imperial capital a place was, the harder it was to find a warp gate and the more the unique color of the area grew. Of course, there were statues of Grid everywhere. There was also a flood of believers praising Grid’s epics.

However, there was a considerable sense of strangeness. This was a remote region far from the center. The place had been ruled by local nobles since ancient times and built their own culture and sentiments. The dialect and clothing of the people became unfamiliar. It gave the strong impression that it was a separate nation and not part of the empire.

‘I think they interpret Grid’s epics slightly differently.’

For the Overgeared God Church, Grid’s epics were the holy book. Was it okay to interpret the holy book in an open manner? Knight was looking around the city while listening to the strange epics praised by the people when he suddenly stopped walking. It was because dozens of soldiers and knights blocked his path.

“You are the inspector from the imperial palace? My lord is waiting at the territory’s capital.”

Territory inspections were carried out by surprise. It was because the meaning faded if the target knew and prepared for it. Yet this place already knew about it. They didn’t give him any time to look around the city and instead wanted to drag him to their den.

“I planned to visit the capital after looking at a few more cities.”

“What is there to see in the countryside? You will just be bored. Furthermore, the lord himself has prepared a banquet. Please accompany him for the sake of the lord’s face.”

The attitude of the knights was polite yet coercive. It was a bit awkward to refuse since they were talking about face.

‘I can do the inspection after the banquet. Let’s start with checking the attitude of the lord.’

Lauel had said that the lord here was planning a rebellion and that there must be the remnants of the Rebecca Church behind the lord. They were absurd words. Lauel presented no physical evidence to back it up. He wasn’t a fortune teller and simply doubted the lord based on circumstantial evidence. Knight found it hard to relate to. He might be wary of the strange closed nature and independence of this land, but he didn’t judge the other side hastily.

Above all, Knight admired the lord’s competence. The development status of the cities in the area exceeded expectations. The high political power of the lord could be seen with one glance.

‘It might be different if he is an idiot, but there is no way such a talented person would conspire with the remnants of the Rebecca Church to start a hopeless rebellion.’

Knight’s confidence was shattered that night.
