Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 32

Nobody moved, and nobody made a sound. Everyone was both shocked and confused at Eisen's blunt words. Even Hendrick stopped in his step and looked around himself, trying to figure out if Eisen was joking.

But he just stood there, with a gentle smile on his face, scratching his beard, reading through the notification he just received.

[Quest Failed - Hendrick's Duel]

[Description] After defending a Fey-Kin from Hendrick, he felt offended and requested a duel. You don't know what's to gain or to lose from this.

[Reward] Hendrick will run around town naked and embarrass himself, making chicken noises and yelling at passers-by

[Failure] You have to give Hendrick all of your current belongings

[Under the Authority of Lord Belrim McBarthon of Melroe, you have to hand all your current belongings over to Hendrick Argon within 24 hours. If you do not oblige, you will be punished accordingly]

"Eisen, what are ya doin'?! Ya just want to hand over yer sword and tools ta that bastard over there?! Did ya lose yer honor as a craftsman?!" Denmir yelled with a deep frown.

[Reputation with Denmir Dimhide has decreased significantly]

"Who cares about those damn tools?! What about your beautiful clothes, Eisen? Your suit was such fine craftsmanship! I would throw up even seeing a hint of Hendrick in that!" Folmirra followed up angrily.

[Reputation with Folmirra Brighthood has decreased significantly] 𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m

"Tsk, and I thought ya were a good guy. How can ya do something like this? Just look at the prick, all smug like that!" Jekyll interjected at last.

[Reputation with Jekyll Jackson has decreased significantly]

"Hah... haha.... Hahahaha! So you understand, old man? That you will never be able to beat me in a fight?!" Hendrick yelled out with a maniacal laugh and handed his sword and shield to some of his goons, stomping over to Bree with an evil grin.

"Now all of your belongings are mine! Including your slave here!" He yelled out and held out his arm to grab Bree, who quickly dodged. Everyone else was quite shocked, of course. Most of the people in this town loved Bree, and as such were angry at Eisen, who placed one of those cold, disgusting slave collars on her.

However, none of them knew that said collar was the broken metal ring that Eisen borrowed from Morrom the day before. And it was all part of Eisen's plan.

Thus, Eisen walked up to Hendrick and pulled him away from Bree. "I don't know what you're doing, you're getting what I currently own, and that's all."

"Yeah, that's why I'm taking your... slave... wait, why can she take off the fucking collar...?" Hendrick asked, staring blankly at the metal collar that Bree now happily held in her hands.

Eisen smiled at Hendrick and shook his head, "Sorry, I think you might have misunderstood something here. Bree isn't my slave. She's my friend." He said and scratched his beard with a smile.

"Tsk, fine! Then I'll take your items at least!" Hendrick yelled out and grabbed the Zweihänder that Bree was holding in her hands, but once again, Eisen stopped him. Scowling at the old man in front of him, the human adventurer frowned angrily. "What do you think you're doing? This is mine now! My men were watching you for the past few days! I know what Items you made! Some dumb clothes, armor, and this sword!"

Eisen shook his head and began to laugh. "Yeah, I made them. But, yesterday I came across a little bit of money, you see? So I decided to pay Bree for helping me out so much." He smiled and slowly grabbed the bottom of his shirt, pulling it off of his body. Of course, everybody was confused, and Hendrick just grew completely agitated.
