Chapter 52: Chapter 50 How Can the actions of hero be called Robbery

"Don't be dazed, hurry up and open the door a little more! I'm too burdened; I can't get in!"

Seeing the owner of the weapon shop standing there in a daze, Jason urged him.

"Brother Shield Hero, my door is already opened to the maximum. If it gets any wider, the door might break. Hey..." The boss looked at the door, which had been slightly shaken by Jason's bump, and let out a long sigh.

"Well, forget it... I'll take some of the things inside first, and you can stand there and help."

As Jason spoke, he set his burden down on the ground, took out the equipment inside, and handed it to the boss.

"Hey~~~ This equipment is quite good. The manufacturing quality is impressive, and it also has some life element enchantments. At least it can sell for more than 300 silver coins."

The boss instinctively took a set of armor. Under his occupational habit, he immediately analyzed the armor and quoted a rough price.

"Don't study it yet! There's still a lot of this type of armor inside. Once you take them all out, you can study them slowly and estimate their value!"

Before Jason finished speaking, he handed another piece of armor to the boss.

The boss set the armor aside and took another brand-new set from Jason.

"Wait... Brother Shield Hero, your luggage should be full of equipment, right?"

At this point, the boss glanced at the armor in his hand, then looked at the burden outside the door that was taller than Jason, and suddenly realized something.

"Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and move these things into your store! If anyone sees it, it will be a problem."

This time, Jason pulled out three sets of armor from the bag and threw them to the boss.

"Understood."

Though the boss was starting to piece things together, he continued to accept the equipment from Jason.

As time passed and more gear was taken out of the pack, the boss initially placed the equipment carefully on a table next to him, but eventually began to pile it directly onto the ground.

His thoughts shifted from: "Damn it, there are three pieces of armor worth 200 silver coins each, and it's still worth more than 300 silver coins, oh my god, why is there even armor worth 500 silver coins?~~~" to "Why do I still have this? This 200 silver coin equipment has no value at all; it's just taking up space. Just throw it away."

Of course, the boss only thought this as the equipment belonged to Jason, and he had no right to make those decisions.

After working for more than 10 minutes, Jason finally moved all his burdens into the weapon store. With such a quantity, the entire shop was nearly filled to the brim.

"Finally done."

Although the boss had a strong build, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Done? Not yet! Raphtalia, take out the equipment in your bag. It's fine; just throw it on the ground."

Jason spoke. The boss noticed that Raphtalia also had various bags hanging from her body, though not as exaggerated as Jason's.

"Okay."

Raphtalia responded, walked directly into the store, and casually dumped the equipment from her many bags onto the ground, treating it like taking out the trash.

"It should be gone now."

The boss watched as Raphtalia deposited another ten sets of equipment, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Of course... there must be more!"

Jason flipped his left hand, transforming it into a storage shield, and poured out about ten sets of equipment along with several weapons.

The boss felt he should be surprised at this moment, but the emotional fatigue of the day had left him feeling somewhat numb.

"Brother Shield Hero, I remember that last night, you and the little girl attended the celebration banquet at the palace for repelling the disaster wave. Why did you suddenly bring so much equipment here? Could it be that you ransacked the arsenal?"

The boss inquired as he closed the door of the weapon shop.

"No, I haven't done such a thing as robbing the king. I just borrowed something from the 3 heros Church," Jason waved his hand, speaking lightly.

"Will the 3 heros Church lend you so much equipment? be honest, what have you done?"

"I didn't do anything. I just killed the people in the church and borrowed some valuable things. After all, in matters concerning the heros, how can it be called robbery? It's just borrowing."

"Kill all? Borrow?"

The corner of the boss's mouth twitched again. He knew that if this twitching continued, he might end up with a crooked mouth, but he couldn't help it.

The 3 heros Cult is the state religion of this country, and its influence is so profound that ordinary people, let alone rushing in to kill, would kneel immediately upon seeing members of the church. Only a ruthless individual like Jason could pull off such a bold act.

Finally, the boss sighed softly, "Hey... Brother Shield Hero, you've caused a huge disaster. The 3 hero Cult can be considered the most untouchable entity in this country. To put it simply, they are a group of lunatics, a group of fanatics brainwashed by their faith. You've ransacked—oh, I mean borrowed—so many things from the church. They will definitely hunt you down."

"Crazy lunatics? Boss, you see it clearly, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Cult and I are already at an impasse, with no room for negotiation. Since they want my life, I'll ensure they pay dearly for it. It's just interest," Jason replied with a glimmer in his eye. After all, he was not the type to let things slide without consequences.

His motto in life was simple: People don't offend me; I won't offend others. But if others offend me, they'll get it back tenfold… a hundredfold.

He wasn't worried that the church would come after him; he feared the opposite— that they wouldn't dare confront him directly, choosing instead to lurk in the shadows and play despicable tricks.

"Hey... since you've already made your decision, I won't say anything more. I hope you and the little girl stay safe," the weapon shop owner said, his concern for Jason and Raphtalia evident.

"Thank you, Boss. Your support means a lot."

"It's nothing. I'm just afraid of losing you as a big customer."

"Come on, you're such a big man and still shy! Don't worry... Although the church is powerful, I don't pay them any mind because my fists are strong enough to deal with them."

"Who's being shy?! Cough, cough... Forget it. Just be careful in the future, you and the little girl."

The boss turned away quickly, coughing a few times before continuing, "Alright... let's handle business first. Please take inventory of these items quickly. It doesn't matter if there are a few mistakes; I still need to settle accounts with the king, so I'm a bit in a hurry."


Chapter 53: Chapter 51: 3 seconds to make a decision

After more than an hour of cleaning work, the equipment brought by Jason and Raphtalia was neatly arranged by the boss and set aside.

The boss held a pen and paper in his hand, the paper filled with dense writings.

"It's finally done. There are a total of 53 sets of armor, 13 long swords, 25 staves, and 9 other types of weapons. The total value is 256 gold coins. If we consider a recycling price, it would be a bit lower, around 200 gold coins," he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead while glancing at the paper.

As a weapon shop owner, seeing so much equipment and such a long tally of numbers made his eyes sparkle with excitement. "If you sell all this equipment, Shield Hero, you'll soon be rich! But even if the enemy country doesn't recruit you as a hero, you could live comfortably for several lifetimes.

The boss knew it was impossible for Jason to give up his status as a Shield Hero just yet; he was simply trying to illustrate the worth of the gold coins in front of Jason.

"Oh? If that's the case, let's sell them all to you. Since we are old acquaintances, I'll let you take them all for 200 gold coins, so you can make a small profit," Jason replied casually from the chair beside him, sipping tea leisurely.

However, the boss's face showed embarrassment at this.

"Brother Shield Hero...you acquired these from the church...ahem...I can't sell them here on the black market. If the group from the 3 heros church finds out, I won't be able to bear the consequences. After all, I'm just an ordinary shop owner, and I don't have that much money to buy all this equipment at once," the boss explained, shrugging in resignation.

Understanding his predicament, Jason smiled. "It's okay, I appreciate your honesty. So can you tell me which places are more suitable for selling this equipment?"

Jason was keenly aware that selling the equipment was essential after he and Raphtalia had put so much effort into moving it here.

The boss stroked his beard, deep in thought, when suddenly his eyes lit up. "There are three places where someone should be willing to purchase this equipment."

"Where?" Jason leaned forward, eager for answers.

"The first location is Zeltoble, the country of mercenaries. The second is the demi-human country, Schildfrieden, along with Sidfelt. Personally, I recommend the demi-human country Schildfrieden; after all, while it's full of demi-humans, humans are also welcome, especially shield heroes. If you have equipment to sell, it will definitely be popular, particularly the gear of the Three Heroes."

"Schildfrieden? That place is a bit far," Jason frowned. The distance seemed demanding for selling goods, but he could weigh the benefits against the potential rewards.

"It certainly is a bit of a journey. It takes about two weeks by boat, or one month by carriage."

"One month? That's further than I thought," Jason mused, contemplating his options. Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind.

In truth, he didn't need to travel that far at all; he could eliminate the church. Once the queen returned, he could sell all the equipment to her.

If she didn't want it or couldn't take it all, he could always consider the demi-human country afterward.

"Alright, we'll go with that plan first. There's a lot still to accomplish in this country, and now isn't the right time to leave," Jason declared, standing from his chair, invigorated. Given that Filo hadn't hatched yet, it made little sense to leave just yet.

"What's been decided?" The boss and Raphtalia exchanged bewildered glances.

"Boss, as the owner of a weapon shop, you must have a warehouse. I'll store this equipment in your warehouse until the time is right to retrieve it. Of course, I won't forget to reward you for this," Jason added, determination in his voice. "Let's go, Raphtalia!"

Before the boss could react, Jason tossed him a gold coin.

"Brother Shield Hero..." the boss started to protest, but Jason was already dragging Raphtalia out.

"I trust you, and even if the damn cult tries to take the equipment, I'll be sure to 'retrieve' it back. Don't worry," Jason's voice echoed as they exited the shop.

The boss turned back to the equipment and sighed deeply, taken aback by the profound trust Jason had placed in him. Just leaving it there casually like that?

With a reluctant shake of his head, the boss began to move the equipment piece by piece into his own warehouse. He couldn't deny the fact that despite not having a chance to refuse, he had agreed to the terms once he accepted the gold coin.

Jason and Raphtalia, on their way to the royal palace, navigated through the bustling streets.

Given that Jason had unraveled the Pope's conspiracy, the palace was in a state of chaos, and the earlier celebratory banquet had been abruptly called off. After all, the king, ridden with shame, had no desire to mingle with others in such a disgraceful state.

Of course, once the nobles dispersed, the king strictly prohibited them from discussing the day's events. Yet, so many witnesses had seen the king's embarrassment; it was clear he lacked the prestige to quell any gossip entirely.

How things would develop from here remained to be seen, and the unfolding story would surely hold its riddles and revelations.

At this time, Jason brought Raphtalia to the palace, but they found themselves halted, as the drawbridge connecting the palace to the town was closed.

"Bring down the drawbridge!" Jason shouted towards the bridge, believing there must be someone on duty at this hour.

"What should we do now? Should we open the bridge for Lord Shield Hero?" one of the soldiers on duty asked, looking uncertain.

"How should I know? If it were His Majesty the King, he probably wouldn't want to see Lord Shield Hero right now. After all, after today's events, Lord Shield Hero has become a nightmare for His Majesty," another soldier replied.

"Then, does that mean we shouldn't lower the drawbridge?" the first soldier asked, glancing nervously at his comrades.

"Don't you understand how powerful Lord Shield Hero is? A mere drawbridge wouldn't be able to stop him! He could probably break it with a single punch!" another soldier chimed in.

"Then what are we supposed to do? Should we let him through or not?" one soldier asked, clearly flustered.

"I have no idea!" came the panicked response.

As the soldiers standing guard grappled with the dilemma, they became increasingly tense. It felt like no matter what they chose, they would be in the wrong.

"If you don't lower the drawbridge soon, I'll be forced to take matters into my own hands! You have three seconds to decide!" Jason's voice boomed again, echoing with authority, causing the soldiers behind the suspension bridge to tremble in fear.

The atmosphere was heavy with uncertainty. On one hand, they were wary of angering a figure as formidable as the Shield Hero; on the other, they feared the repercussions of disobeying orders. The seconds stretched on, and the indecision was palpable as they exchanged anxious glances.
