Overgeared - Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283: 1283

It was possible for Grid to overlap the crown and the helmet . This meant he could wear one more piece of equipment than anyone else . It was being overgeared . In fact, it was possible due to the First King title effect .

‘Um, it is neat . ’

Grid checked his appearance in the mirror once more and smiled happily . A helmet with goat horns—the appearance reminiscent of a devil disappeared, and only a silver crown adorned his head .

“Let’s depart . ”

Sticks sent a signal and Piaro and Grid stood in the magic circle . Grid nodded and the three of them disappeared without a trace .

***

The East Continent’s beginner area, Pangea . . .

The third time Grid visited this place, it was controlled by the army . Now it was back to being an ordinary city . Many of the abandoned houses that lost their owners were filled with new residents . The ruined roads were repaired and carriages were going back and forth .

“This is the place that was ruled by Han Seokbong . ”

Piaro showed interest . He observed with interest rather than hating the unfamiliar culture found everywhere .

“What does the grain taste like?”

“ . . . . . . ”

In the end, they stopped in front of the rice fields . Grid saw the rice fields that were shabby compared to Reinhardt’s and smiled bitterly . "This was originally a city . A great city . ”

There had been tens of thousands of residents and four smithies . Those people were now living as people of the Overgeared Kingdom and were being revitalized . Outsiders lined up in order to buy the tools made by craftsmen and were cheated by Yang Fei’s mouth to eat Idan’s food .

‘However, these days, Idan’s food is edible . ’

Idan had grown beyond a chief who could only make poisonous food . He was notorious for being a poison master and poisoned the soldiers of the Overgeared Kingdom, unexpectedly helping the Overgeared Kingdom . The Overgeared soldiers continued to eat Idan’s dishes and became resistant to poison . This allowed them to work easily in polluted spaces . It had been a hot topic when the soldiers of the Overgeared Kingdom destroyed the ‘Serpent Temple’ that was called hell on earth because it poisoned countless players .

. . . At that time, Elizabeth had been stunned when a large quantity of snake skin was supplied to her workshop .

Piaro murmured, “There seems to be a very small number of troops stationed here . I’m worried about security falling if it is only to this level . ”

“It is enough . The people of the Cho Kingdom are protected by the red phoenix . If an outsider makes trouble here, then they will be smashed before the soldiers even come forward . ”

Grid’s interpretation was reasonable, but it was wrong . Pangea was a place that foreigners from the West Continent must pass through . It was a very important base for the Cho Kingdom . The fact that there were fewer troops stationed here showed there was a serious issue .

In fact, the reason why Pangea’s troops decreased was because they were recruited as reinforcements for the capital . However, the Cho King lied about the reason for recruiting the troops so that the people wouldn’t feel anxious . They only told the people that support troops were needed for a certain celebration . Due to this, the people of Pangea were unaware of the change to the capital . They had no worries on their faces and were only filled with enthusiasm for rebuilding the city . Therefore, Grid had no doubts about the situation .

“Certainly . . . their physical strength is enormous . ” Piaro found it easy to understand . In the eyes of the legendary farmer, Pangea’s farmers had excellent physical strength . They weren’t inferior at all compared to the soldiers of the Overgeared Kingdom, who were some of the strongest on the West Continent .

“There is the white phosphorus forest . ” Grid managed to move Piaro away from the fields . “I want this tree to be grown in the Overgeared Kingdom . Is it possible?”

Currently, Piaro’s focus was on the golden walnut . However, for Grid, the urgency for white phosphorus wood was higher than the golden walnuts . He needed to visit the East Continent whenever he needed white phosphorus wood . . . honestly, it was a nuisance . Additionally, Grid hadn’t figured out where to grow the golden walnuts . It was right to focus on the white phosphorus tree first .

“Hoh . . . ”

The outside was as white as snow . Piaro was fascinated by the beauty of the white phosphorus tree and took a closer look .

“It is as white and beautiful as my wife’s heart . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

“What is this firmness? It is like seeing my wife . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

“There is a really hot flame . It reminds me of my wife when she witnesses injustices . ”

“ . . . Do it in moderation . ” Grid recently heard that Beniyaru was pregnant . Grid was happy about it, but wasn’t Piaro showing his affection too much?

Piaro, whose love for his wife went beyond the extreme, woke up belatedly and coughed . “Hum hum, I’m sorry . ”

“It is good to have an excellent relationship, but you need to adjust it to some extent . How can the commander of the army be like this?”

“Yes . . . ”

Piaro distinctly remembered it—it was Grid hugging and kissing Irene regardless of whether the soldiers saw it or not . It wasn’t just one or twice when his ears scabbed over because Grid praised Irene for three hours straight . In fact, the most recent occurence was just two days ago . However, how could he say it? It was impossible to complain about his king .

“Your words are right . . . I have to be careful in the future . ’

It seemed he was too excited . The aware Piaro crouched down and examined the soil of the forest . “The sand particles are very thick . ”

“Um . . . ?”

Up to now, Grid had only looked at the trees, not the forest . His purpose was to gain the white phosphorus wood so his perspective was limited .

“Coarse sand soil,” Piaro spoke while touching the soil and Grid’s eyes widened .

Coarse sand soil . It was a term Grid came across when he was working at a construction site . Coarse sand soil was the soil used on the military training ground . It came from a foreign word and it was right to call it coarse sand after it was purified .

“This is sand formed from granite weathering . It absorbs less water than normal soil . However, this sand isn’t only on the surface . It has reached down to the point where the roots of the white phosphorus trees are located . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

Grid didn’t respond and Piaro explained, “It means it is better not to have excessive moisture when growing the white phosphorus trees . ”

“Ah, that's right . It is natural to think this way . ”

The white phosphorus trees seemed cold at first because they were white like snow . However, the reality was that it was very hot . The heat caused a huge explosion the moment they were cut .

“The reason the surface is white is because salt is mixed in with the sea breeze . . . ”

Grid shook his head . “That isn’t the case . This tree grows even in areas where there is no sea . ”

“I see . . . ”

Piaro started to think about it . At some point, he forgot to speak as he thoroughly examined the white phosphorus trees and the surrounding environment . Grid was reassured when he saw Piaro looking for answers on his own . He had faith that Piaro could grow this tree on the West Continent . It was as he expected . . .

A long time passed before Piaro opened his mouth again with a very bright expression, “I think I have a vague idea . There are a few saplings so let’s take them with us . ”

“Wait!” Grid shouted as he saw Piaro pulling out the shovel and hand plow, but Piaro’s actions were too swift .

Grid didn’t have a chance to stop him as Piaro dug at the soil around the young white phosphorus tree and extracted the roots . There was no explosion . The white phosphorus tree, which no one could collect apart from Grid, was brought out intact by Piaro .

“ . . . . . . !”

“What’s wrong?”

“No . . . a legendary farmer is really great . . . ”

The feelings of emptiness and sadness that he felt when Piaro became a farmer had now changed . Grid even thought it was fortunate that Piaro was a farmer, not a Sword Saint . Strength wasn’t the only thing that mattered in this world . At this point, it seemed good if Lord had a farmer companion .

“Will you raise your child who will be born soon as a farmer?”

Piaro’s children would surely be gifted with great talent . Grid hoped that Piaro’s children would stand by Lord’s side . If it was a son, then as a friend, and if it was a daughter, then as a spouse . Piaro smiled and shook his head at Grid’s serious question .

"No, I will let my child make their own choices . ”

Piaro was born as the child of one of the empire’s most famous swordsmen and he naturally walked the path of the sword, dreaming of becoming the Sword Saint . Yet in the end, he became a farmer . Additionally, he had no regrets about this choice . Piaro had realized it through his own life . Parents shouldn’t force dreams onto their children .

“I see . . . ”

Grid felt the same way . He also carved out his own path . In fact, he didn’t force Lord to follow his path . He had only one desire .

“If you give birth to a daughter, then let her marry Lord . ”

Grid wanted Piaro’s daughter to be Lord’s companion . He would feel relieved if Piaro’s daughter was with Lord . Surprisingly, Piaro refused . “That will be difficult . ”

“ . . . ?”

It was an unexpected reaction . Grid thought Piaro would be happy so he was flustered when it was a refusal . Piaro was the most loyal among the loyalists . He had never disobeyed Grid even when he was ordered to protect Juander . Yet he refused this marriage?

Piaro scratched his head and explained to the stiff Grid, “I won’t be able to live up to my name if I let my daughter marry a playboy who already has hundreds of lovers . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

He forgot for a moment that other people valued their children just as much as he did . Grid was silent without refuting anything . Then Piaro gave him hope .

“I will give birth to a son . I will give birth to a son and raise him as the prince’s loyal friend . ”

“Ah . . . Uh, yes . ”

Yes, Grid hoped Piaro would give birth to a son by all means . Grid smiled brightly at the thought, only to suddenly become uneasy . He thought about how things had developed so far and found there was a 199 . 9% chance that Piaro’s child was likely to be a daughter .

‘ . . . Well, there is no law saying they can’t be friends just because they have different genders . ’

Let’s leave this until later to think about . Grid shook his head and focused on the firewood . In the meantime, Piaro collected all the white phosphorus saplings and wrapped the roots with cloth . There were over 50 saplings .

The next day . . .

“Let’s go find the golden walnuts plantation . ”

Grid and Piaro achieved their first goal and left Pangea . The two of them traveled for a long time while recalling their past . Over 10 years ago, the two of them had traveled together when Grid just became the lord of Reidan . It was a memory for Grid and a nightmare for Piaro .
