Super Equipment
Chap 26's

...~•~...

Rous felt like a mountain after equipping the golden armor. With a gigantic sword in his hand, he felt brave enough to even slash a dragon. The gangsters swung their weapons at him, but he did not need to avoid them.

The trangg! Treaty!

[Enemy damage has been neutralized.]

The enemy attacks had good momentum, but they were unable to give Rous a small scratch on the armor. In fact, his body did not feel the slightest fluctuation. Instead, the gangsters' weapons were tampered with.

“A-What?”

"Why is this...?"

The gangsters live in a lawless world, so their warning instincts are unmatched.

At this moment, the gangsters felt desperate. "I-It's ridiculous...!"

Rous grinned evilly at the confused gangster. "Have you ever heard of the 'effect of an item'?"

A potion? A skill? From the start, Rous did not need to rely on such things. There were all kinds of battle gear piled up in the workshop, and as the Successor of Pagma, Rous could use them all!

Kinggo!

He grabbed the hilt of the great sword with both hands and tightened his waist as best he could before lifting it with all his strength. Rous did not need to use any techniques. He only used the momentum of the greatsword to create damage to whatever was on his path.

Srak Crats!

There was a refreshing feeling in his chest as the sword pierced through his enemies. With a single strike, the bodies of the gangsters turned into a gray light.

A very useful sentence continued to appear, but Rous did not take the time to enjoy the pleasure he got from seeing it.

"These weapons and armor ..."

Rous immediately used the Legendary Iron-Savvy Rating skill.

“Uhuk uhuk..”.

While Rous was shocked speechless by the two objects, Khan came up to him and firmly grasped his shoulder.

Then Khan asked Rous in a trembling voice, "You ... How can you use Dainsleif and Valhalla?"

Rous is unable to answer Khan's question now. Instead, he is the one who has the question. “Khan, why are good things in a place like this? Huh huh? Where'd you get this?"

“Ughh! Really surprising.” Khan was frightened after listening to Rous's question.

Rous was stunned as it seemed like Khan's eyes were about to pop out. 'Wow, this person is not a frog, so how could his eyes come out like this?'

Khan's eyes looked out from their sockets as he shook Rous. "You ... Do you really know the value of these things?"

“Isn't it clear that the value is high just by looking at it? Its creator is the great Albatino.”

“Oghh! You know who made it? M-Maybe you..?” Khan's face and neck were flushed. Then he staggered like he was about to faint.

'What? Why is he like that? Is it high blood pressure?’

Did Rous save Khan just to have him die of high blood pressure? Nah! Rous can't let that happen.

“Hey, hey, Old Man! Easy, easy! You must be careful!"

"ah! Ouugghh..”.

“Hah? B-foam? Hiya! Old man. Hiya! Whatisthis? Don't die! I managed to complete the mission, right? Then why are you dying? If you have another mission, then give it to me! "

'No, wait. If Khan dies, then what will happen to Dainsleif and Vahalla?’

“...Hey, Old Man. Are you all right? Goddamn bum! You have to live. You have to live.”

After returning Dainsleif and Valhalla to the original location, Rous took the old man to the clinic.

... ***...

Winston is a remote village. However, as roads were built and transportation developed, the village began to develop rapidly. There were hunting grounds of various levels everywhere, and Winston was filled with high-quality specialty products and unique Missions. These factors mean that its development is endless. Nowadays, many people come and go. In a new user survey conducted by a broadcasting station, the station was in the top 10 of the 'New Village where I wanted to Start.'

Upon seeing the ever-expanding Winston, people were envious of the Winston residents. Land prices in Winston have increased by 20 times, so it is expected that the population will be rich. However, this was only an illusion for those who did not know the truth. The reality of the village was very different, and the lives of the Winston residents were no better than before.

This is because of the Mero Company. The Mero Company had dominated the northern region of the Eternal Kingdom long ago. Valmont, the leader of the Mero Company, had predicted Winston's potential faster than anyone. While still a remote village, he bought land and commercial areas of Winston at low prices from residents. Therefore, most of Winston's land and commercial areas are dominated by the Mero Company. It had yet to be officially promoted to the city, but many Winston signage had the name 'Mero' on it. On the other hand, the population lost their jobs and suffered from poverty.

The Mero Company monopolized Winston. This was a huge jackpot for the Mero Company, and it was possible for them to amass huge amounts of wealth. The Earl would do nothing to stop them because of the high taxes and bribes they offered.

“Verily man must have insight.”

The owner of the Mero Company, Valmont, is happy every day. Most of the profits from the village went into his pockets, so he enjoyed a lot of luxuries. However, there was one thing that rained down on Valmont—'s mood the existence of the workshop.

According to the king's decree, towns and villages could only legally have one workshop. It was one of the government's extreme measures to prevent local powers from building massive weapons and strengthening their military capabilities. So, there was only one workshop in Winston, and the owner of the workshop was not the Mero company but a blacksmith named Khan.

A workshop that could function steadily and earn large sums of money as a weapons business was rare. As a result, the Mero Company offered Khan an enormous sum to sell the workshop, but he declined, saying that it had been in his family for seven generations. It was useless even if Valmont used intimidation.

Valmont's got a headache. Too sorry to give up on the workshop. So he thought hard and came up with an ingenious scheme to suppress Khan.

“Buy a large number of quality agricultural weapons and equipment from Bandai Besi Taji. Then sell it to the residents of Winston and the Arrivals at low prices. The gains? No need to worry about that. Sell cheaply!”

Due to Valmont's orders, Khan's blacksmith shop lost its competitiveness. The Winston Residents and Arrivals no longer went to Khan's workshop. The weapons sold in the Mero Company were of slightly lower quality than those sold in Khan's workshop, but they were more diverse and cheaper, making people buy from the Mero Company.

In addition, Valmont planned one more thing. It was a plan to trick Khan by hiring a Scammer.

“If you develop the scale of the blacksmith, it will instill more trust in the customers and the business will be well back. I'll lend you money at a low interest rate, so invest your money and develop a workshop scale. Show the people of Winston and Mero Company that you will be successful!”

Khan foolishly believed the impostor because he was his old friend. Without imagining his friend had been bribed by Valmont, Khan borrowed money from his friend without checking the contract. As a result, his debt swelled to an amount he could not afford to pay.

Valmont loved the feeling of watching Khan collapse.

“Hahaha, that workshop will be mine in the near future.”

The last thing Valmont did was hire a group of gangsters, and he waited with anticipation, believing that the workshop would soon be handed over to him. But who knew that Khan would be as hard as a bull? When he saw that Khan refused to let go of the workshop despite being cornered, an even greater anger arose inside Valmont.

"Where are they? I told the gangsters to prepare well if they don't handle it this time. ”

He had warned them seriously, so they were motivated to work harder. This time, the workshop will enter his hands ...

"What's? They missing?”

"Yes that's right."

"That fucking asshole!"

Trank tang no!

Hearing the unexpected report, Valmont turned the table over filled with delicious food.

Then he asked his closest subordinate, Rabbit, “Who recommended those gangsters?”

“Biel.”

"Take him here now!"

After a while, Valmont calmly asked the trembling Biel, “Didn't you recommend those gangsters? You said I could trust them? Then what is this? Not only did they not return with Khan's workshop within the promised period of time, but they had now escaped. I even paid them a down payment up front. How are you going to be responsible for this? "

“A-I'm really sorry. They are the most famous people in this neighborhood, so I recommend..”.

“I don't need your apology. Give it to me."

"Huh? A-What..?” Biel asked because he did not understand what Valmont meant.

Valmonth was frustrated by Biel's confusion and said frankly, “You must be stupid if you don't understand what I mean even though you work at a trading company. Of money. Give me some money. You are responsible for the down payment given to them as well as compensation for the commission that failed.”

“Y-Yes?! I-I don't have that kind of money. Please give me one more chance.” Biel grabbed Valmont's clothes and pleaded.

However, Valmont was tireless. “If you have no money, make it. Otherwise, I will sell you to the slave market. Then I will be compensated to a certain extent. Ha ha ha ha's.

“T-Master! Please!"

"Keep this guy."

Biel has been with Valmont for 10 years and has always worked hard like a dog. Even so, Valmont did not tolerate even a single mistake. It was a cruel decision, but he did not care about morals.

'Proud and cruel.' Rabbit did not like this Valmontese nature. Still, he could earn a lot of money if he worked under Valmont, so Rabbit never betrayed him.

After Biel was dragged out, Rabbit was left alone with Valmont and opened his mouth to say, “It is hard to believe that the gangster hired by Biel will escape. They live here in Winston. They can't throw away their home easily for just a little money.”

“If they don't escape, then what is it? Were they killed by the old man?”

“For now, it is most appropriate to think so. Until this morning, they visited Khan's workshop as usual. After that, they disappeared. There must be something going on in the workshop.”

Upon hearing Rabbit's explanation, Valmont asked, "Where is Khan?"

"He's gone too."

"It's ridiculous! What exactly happened in that workshop?”

"We're conducting an investigation, so you'll find out soon."

It's frustrating because they don't know exactly how things are going. Valmont and Rabbit have just come up with various assumptions and guesses.

"I've found Khan's location!" An informant came in and made a report. “About two hours ago, there was a witness who saw a strange young man carrying Khan on his back.

“A strange young man.. He must have been the culprit in this incident. Rabbit, I will leave the workshop business to you from now on. Get rid of anyone who gets in your way. ”

"All right."

According to others' judgments about his personality, Valmont had talent as a merchant, but he was rude and ruthless. How could he develop the Mero Company so far? That's because he has Rabbit.

Rabbit was a clever and skilled person who could make up for Valmont's flaws. He is good at holding back his emotions and making calm judgments to produce the best results. Now Rabbit will meet with Rous.
