My Reflector Is Invincible 54

54. This Won’t Do

[Kleptomaniac Haken]

He was a man who could never be described as having lived an honest life.

Even his pledge of allegiance to Joo-Yeon was, in truth, born out of personal greed.

‘If I stick close to that guy, I’ll be able to secure a position for myself.’

However, something unexpected happened.

“Whew… Did I just black out for a moment?”

It was funny even when he thought about it again.

To think that he would faint just from seeing a certain place.

“Even if it was a dream, it was the first time I’ve ever seen so many treasures.”

If there was a mountain of gold, would it look like that?

The sight of all sorts of jewels piled up like a giant tower.

It wasn’t just the treasures that were piled up like mountains.

[Screech!]

A humanoid-shaped herb screaming from inside a vat of liquid.

It was the legendary Mandrake.

[Whoa!]

A fruit that emitted light, capable of reviving the dead with just one bite. The Life Fruit.

Was this what the Golden Paradise looked like, where all the treasures and riches of the world were gathered?

However, the problem wasn’t just the objects.

[Grooooowl.]

From Noble mtl dot com

Dead, yet with a fighting spirit that was off the charts.

In truth, the reason why Haken the thief had fainted was entirely due to just one being.

It was huge, but its very existence was unbelievable.

“An entire dead dragon. Who would have thought something like that would be in a bank vault?”

I thought it was something you could only see in a dragon’s sanctuary.

A dragon’s corpse was a fearsome beast. Not only could anyone have it, but it was an important object that could cause conflicts between nations.

There was no way such an existence could remain intact.

Just then, a voice came from behind Haken.

“What are you doing? If you’re awake, come and help.”

Huh? Help with what?

Only then did Haken regain his senses.

The place he was in now wasn’t the usual room the Edmer dukedom had given him.

“W-what?”

The place he had thought was a dream just a moment ago.

It was the interior of a bank vault filled with treasure.

“I-it wasn’t a dream?”

All this really belongs to the master, no, the lead role?

It was unbelievable, but there was something even more unbelievable.

“We don’t have time, so pack it up quickly. Just pack everything you see. For now, from here to here.”

It was an overwhelming amount that was shocking even for Haken.

His shock wasn’t simply because of the contents of the vault.

‘まさか、私にここを見せるなんて’

It was such an important place that even the bank employees were sent out.

To show him such a place was a sign that he trusted him that much.

For Haken, who had only been treated as a back-alley bum, it was quite a shock.

‘Why do you trust me this much?’

He trusted him enough to show him his own secrets.

Trust must be repaid with trust.

Haken’s eyes shone firmly towards Joo-in.

* * *

‘It’s convenient to have a porter to carry the bags. It would have been hard if I had to carry it myself.’

But it was much easier with Haken.

As expected, even in games, a porter was a necessity.

‘By the way, do you now think of me as your master?’

Haken reacted quickly to his orders.

He used to be strictly calculating, but now he was really enthusiastic.

As proof, a strange light could be seen near Haken.

It certainly resembled the color of <Obedience>.

It was normal that you would never see it in Haken, a former thief.

So I laughed.

‘A slave who used to be a thief, and now a knight of <Obedience>?’

There was only one way for a person from the back alleys to become a knight.

It was something that made him realize and awaken to his own chivalry.

Of course, it wasn’t easy.

Up until now, only one person had ever managed it.

[<Knight of Thieves> Leonard]

He was someone who had risen from being a thief to attaining the chivalry of <Conviction>.

A man who had eventually overcome his own origins and become a true knight who had surpassed the highest realm.

Rather, because he had been a thief, there were certain exceptional aspects to him that ordinary knights couldn’t imitate.

And it was clear that, like that guy, a certain change of heart had occurred within Haken as well.

For Joo-Heon, this wasn’t a bad thing.

‘In the first place, if the guy I was planning to use as a porter gets stronger, it’s a good thing.’

The Balentino Company didn’t have an inventory. Instead, they used sub-space pockets, but even using those, the weight didn’t decrease noticeably. That was why it was necessary for him to get strong enough to endure that weight.

‘It’s still too much for Haken, though.’

Joo-Heon was planning to make the guy strong.

Someday, the guy would be carrying a sub-space pocket stuffed to the brim.

But that wasn’t what was important right now.

Joo-Heon looked at the items in the safe.

‘Thankfully, everything I need is here.’

He had been worried inside that the account would be alive, but the safe would be empty.

‘Well, it’s a shame that not everything is here, though.’

Haken had called it a mountain of gold and treasures, but a lot of it was missing by Joo-Heon’s standards.

Originally, since these were items he had put in after clearing the final content, there should have been higher-spec items, precious items, and a larger amount of money.

It was clear that something had changed, whether it had been due to an issue during the sealing or the passage of time.

‘Still, this much is okay.’

Most of what he had really needed had remained, and there was enough money to upgrade once.

‘Rather, this is the important thing.’

Joo-Heon took out the item he had gotten from Hunter Jack.

It was a dagger.

[Oath Sword]

Of course, it wasn’t a good sword.

It was a rusted dagger that, despite being well-maintained, had a certain sense of age to it.

However, its significance was important.

– If I did something worthy of it, Sir Knight King, no, the previous Duke gave me this item. He told me to come find him later.

However, Jack hadn’t gone to find the Knight King.

He had treasured the item given to him by the Knight King as his own.

And he had given it to Joo-Heon.

– This is my way of repaying you for saving my life. If you take this, I’m sure the previous Duke will reward you as well.

Of course, there was no use for it.

From the start, he had been entangled with the Duke, and as ‘that,’ he had a strong connection with the previous Duke.

However, even this ordinary dagger would be different if there was one more item to pair it with.

“It should definitely be around here somewhere.”

Joo-in’s hand pushed away the mountain of treasures and pulled out a hidden object.

It was a tightly sealed box.

As the box was revealed, light emanated from the dagger.

Swish.

The faint light opened the lid of the box. Inside was a small coin.

[Vestige of the Conqueror]

There was no special effect or description.

An item made to commemorate a man who once conquered the world.

However, this coin and the dagger were a pair.

Joo-in grinned as he looked at it.

‘This is all I need for now.’

With these items, he could go to a specific place and obtain a special class.

It was famous information that most players knew. However, no one had ever obtained that class.

It was because although it had overwhelmingly powerful strength, the risk was also extremely high.

However, Joo-in was different.

‘I have <Reflection> now. I can handle any curse or risk.’

That was why he had come to find this item.

To obtain a class that everyone knew about but no one had ever chosen.

Fortunately, he had obtained the dagger from Hunter Jack, so the foundation was complete.

“Now, then…….”

It was his colleagues’ items’ turn.

Joo-in’s hand rummaged through the pile of treasures.

But something was strange.

“I’m sure I put it here?”

The place where some items should have been was empty.

They belonged to some of the strongest guys among his former colleagues.

Joo-in narrowed his brow.

‘As expected, they’re not here.’

Of course, the money and some of the items he had kept were not left in the vault, but it was still strange.

‘There’s still some energy in this vicinity.’

Joo-in looked around.

Did the energy of someone else remain in this vault, which no one had entered for at least several decades?

Had someone come here?

‘Did a thief perhaps steal the items inside?’

However, it was rare for someone to enter such a place and take the items.

The most suspicious one was Dae-ho.

[Great Sword Cheon Soo-gwan]

The king and god of all thieves.

At the same time, he was a colleague of the previous hero and his own colleague. He was one of those he had included as a colleague to go defeat the Demon King together.

Joo-in’s eyes glinted.

I don’t know about the other stuff, but he’s probably stolen at least as much as my colleagues.

‘I don’t know why he stole it, but… I’ll make him regret touching my stuff.’

Now I have everything I need.

I’ve even got the materials to make a weapon imbued with the power of the mazoku.

‘Okay, so I’ve got all the additional materials now. I guess it’s time to go make a weapon.’

I don’t need to worry about the pickpocket who went to look for information.

If he doesn’t want to die, he’ll come looking for me right away.

So I was about to pack up and leave.

“Are you really going like this?”

Haken approached cautiously.

He looked like he had something to say.

“I’ve got everything I need, right?”

“Well… I mean the bank manager. Won’t it be difficult for you if you go like this?”

Oh, I forgot about that.

“I need to take care of that.”

“How?”

Joo-in just smiled.

He didn’t actually need to do anything.

‘The bank’s alarm went off, so they must have noticed me.’

The six founders of the bank.

They were powerful people known all over the continent.

Most of them were long-lived and hadn’t died in hundreds of years.

And Joo-in had founded this bank with them.

‘It was a quest, but still.’

They liked him quite a bit.

Of course, that was when he was the player ‘Zig’, not ‘Nam Joo-in’, who had possessed the body of a slave.

But that didn’t matter.

‘I don’t know about anything else, but they’re not the kind of guys who would just stand by and watch a fellow founding member get ignored at the entrance.’

It was likely that the central bank would send down an audit tomorrow at the earliest.

Since Joo-in had already punished the guards and bank tellers,

‘They’ll probably try to punish the bank manager directly.’

That punishment would be far from ordinary.

Well, it couldn’t be helped. It was his own fault for not managing the bank properly.

Joo-in wrote a special letter for him and stuck it to the wall.

“If we leave it here, the founding members will come and see it.”

I don’t know who will come, though.

He also included some information and instructions.

Of course, since he didn’t know the guys personally in this body, they might just ignore it, but that didn’t matter.

It wasn’t for nothing that Joo-in had ordered the basement of this place to be cleaned as punishment. If they were founding members, they would quickly notice the bank manager’s embezzlement there.

‘That should be enough to take care of things here.’

“Let’s go to the forge now.”

“Yes! I’ll guide you.”

I left the goblins who were offering to guide me and went outside.

And headed for the forge.

But I was immediately blocked.

Clang!

“No peddlers allowed here.”

“Go away.”

What? Again??

Joo-yeon’s temper flared up when she heard the same words she had heard just a few hours ago.

No, is there something wrong with my appearance at this point?

Joo-yeon asked Haken, touching her forehead.

“Hey, do I look that shabby?”

“……Well, you look good, but you don’t take care of yourself? From your messy hair to your behavior…”

Smack.

‘These bastards are useless.’

It was when Joo-yeon was about to come out like she did at the bank.

Someone jumped in from behind.

“W…… Wait a minute!”
