Overgeared - Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306: 1306

The black tortoise was resurrected and the false myths were removed . The people rejoiced and prayed, and then the god said that he had received help from a human—the Overgeared King, who punished the fake gods that deceived the people and polluted the land .

‘ . . . I thought it was an exaggeration . ’

The king of a nation and a warrior—one of the Xing King’s identities was that of a warrior, and the senses he polished for decades were extremely sharp and delicate . Moreover, he witnessed the yangbans since childhood and it was safe to say his ability to sense the strong was at a transcendent level . For example, him . . .

‘It wasn’t an exaggeration . This person . . . no, he is real . ’

He shook the moment he saw Grid . A human being who harmed the yangbans who ruled humanity with natural strength and force . . .

The Xing King discovered that such an unbelievable achievement was actually the truth . “The Overgeared King . ”

Step .

The Xing King came down from the throne and approached Grid . He bowed deeply under the attention of his officials and warriors who served him as the supreme one . “It is the highest honor . An infinite honor . ”

“ . . . . . . !”

There was a commotion among the officials . The appearance of the golden robe embroidered with the black tortoise being dragged on the ground and crumpled was a sight that the people of Xing couldn’t imagine .

“Since Your Majesty resurrected God Black Tortoise, peace and stability was restored to Xing . ”

No matter if they were a king over 10,000 people or a king over tens of millions of people, they should be equal . Once thinking of their subjects, they shouldn’t regard another king as an elder . The Xing King believed so . He might’ve received great grace from the Overgeared King, but he had no intention of bending down . He didn’t want to undermine the pride of the people and he would repay grace with grace .

However, his mind changed the moment he actually met the Overgeared King . They were both kings, but they had a different status . Bowing down to this person wasn’t an act that would shame the people . He didn’t need to feel guilty to the people . This was just pure respect . It was because this was their savior .

“Raise your head . ”

The Xing King didn’t know it, but Grid had spent several days with him in the form of Irene, and Grid got a grasp of the Xing King’s personality and essence . He was a man of reason who knew the right path to follow and didn’t forget grace . He strove to be a proud king to the people . Yet such a person was bowing in front of everyone?

Grid didn’t want this . It was easy to understand when thinking of it from a different perspective . Would the members of the Overgeared Guild be happy to see Grid kneel to others? It would be hard to tolerate . The more people who believed that Grid was the best, the more people there were aiming at Grid . Grid knew this and hurried to raise the Xing King, but the king didn’t look up .

“I am a sinner . Not only was I able to repay my benefactor’s favor, but I also let you worry . I really can’t raise my head . ”

“Worry?”

“The queen . . . the Overgeared Queen is missing . ”

“Ah . ” Grid’s expression changed and he started sweating . He should’ve used Irene’s face, but his thoughts were lacking, causing the Xing King to be in a dilemma .

‘I made a mistake . ’

Grid rebuked himself and coughed a few times . “My wife went home . . . Hum hum, she went back to our home kingdom . ”

“Is that true? Crossing the Red Sea was impossible until only a few years ago and it definitely isn’t easy . . . ”

“One of my friends is a resourceful sage . Thanks to his help, intercontinental travel isn’t very difficult . ”

“I see . . . ”

Calling a servant a friend?

‘I think I know what type of person he is . I also have to imitate it . ’

The Xing King smiled happily and never dreamt of the reality of the Overgeared King who used his friend as a movement vehicle .

‘Fortunately, Lord resembles Irene . ’

After living in Irene’s form for a while, Grid returned to his real form and realized how important a person’s appearance was .

‘I don’t think the drinking capacity of most of them is one bottle . . . ’

Every time Grid attended a party or dinner in Irene’s form, all of Xing’s officials would drink at least three bottles of wine . Yet at Grid’s welcoming party today, forget three bottles . Most of the officials couldn’t even drink one bottle . It was like they couldn’t drink . Even the king’s young sons distanced themselves like teenagers in the rebellious period . The guys who kept bothering Irene didn’t give Grid a single glance .

“In any case, her appearance is the best . ”

“……”

Grid shook his head and Piaro looked at him like it was absurd .

‘You don’t know why the princes of Xing and the officials are so nervous?’

Grid returned after a few days and had become an absolute powerhouse .

The previous Grid had shown a great presence as a ‘strong man who is a legend,’ but something was different now—he seemed like a being one couldn’t get close to, no, an untouchable existence, so much so that even Piaro’s feeling of ‘I want to compete and try out my skills’ was suppressed .

This feeling was similar to . . .

‘A god . ’

No, this was too much even if he looked at his king with blinded eyes . Piaro shook his head with a smile . Then Grid asked him, “Did you find a way to grow the golden walnuts?”

“Yes, Your Majesty . ”

He would still be in the forest researching if he hadn’t found a way . Grid’s face brightened as Piaro told him the good news .

“In the future, our people will be able to eat the golden walnuts . ”

The golden walnuts were a health food before they were an elixir . NPCs that constantly consumed the golden walnuts didn’t only increase their stats . Their health and life expectancy also increased . Piaro honestly confessed to the genuinely pleased Grid, “The Overgeared Kingdom is too hot in the west and too cold in the north . The Yatan Church’s headquarters was located in the far east so the land and air are polluted . ”

The golden walnuts were sensitive to climate and soil so it was difficult to grow them in large quantities .

“The only place in the Overgeared Kingdom where the golden walnuts can be grown is Cokro[1] Island . Even on Cokro Island, it can’t be grown near the dungeon where Hell Gao’s heat remains . It can only be grown in limited areas . ”

“How many trees can be planted?”

Grid asked and Piaro replied immediately . “500 trees . ”

“It is still a long way to securing a large amount of golden walnuts . . . ”

He saw it when visiting the golden walnut forest that the golden walnuts weren’t grown easily . The number of golden walnuts that could be collected from 100 trees averaged to 10 a year . It was difficult to obtain the golden walnuts even in the Xing Kingdom, the origin of the golden walnuts . Grid tried not to show his disappointment and Piaro smiled at him .

“Don’t worry too much . I will somehow change the environment in the east of the kingdom so we can plant more golden walnut trees . ”

It didn’t matter if it took years or even decades . His efforts were bound to come to fruition . Grid gained hope from Piaro’s assertion and nodded .

“I feel reassured thanks to you . Okay, then let’s go home . ”

The purpose of visiting the East Continent was achieved . He secured the white phosphorus wood, the method of growing golden walnuts, and formed a blood alliance with Xing . The Xing King even said that he hoped that Grid would treat him as a brother .

‘I really gained a lot . ’

In particular, he was lucky to have visited the Hwan Kingdom . Not only did he raise Irene’s deity stat more easily than expected, he also became stronger . He gained a deeper understanding of the worldview and gained a strong ally in the grandmaster .

He wanted to see Irene quickly . He wanted to share his joy with Irene, who would be healthy and young .

The eager Grid left and the Xing King started to build a new shrine next to the one dedicated to the black tortoise .

***

Baal’s Contractor—it was the highest level of combat class that inherited some of Pagma’s Swordsmanship due to him being the previous Baal’s Contractor . Additionally, it was the king of the dead with a dominance beyond that of necromancers’ .

Hidden quests were directly supplied by Baal, the 1st great demon, one of the strongest beings in the world . This meant the growth potential was infinite . If Agnus’ purpose was to be ‘strong’ in itself, then the player in the highest position would naturally be Agnus .

It had to be so . The role of Baal’s Contractor was that of a pure villain . Baal’s Contractor was alone against the world, so it was designed to slaughter hundreds or thousands of people alone . The growth rate was so fast that it was normal to be reborn before the Sword Saint’s ‘heart’ had revealed its true potential . One of the events of the National Competition, the ‘Demon King’s Subjugation’ was actually based on one of the aspects that Agnus should’ve shown on the main server .

“This is why Grid looks like Baal’s Contractor . ”

The S . A Group sighed deeply when Grid visited the Hwan Kingdom and they saw his rapid growth . They weren’t objecting to the fact that Grid had become stronger . They were dissatisfied that Agnus hadn’t fully blossomed his class’s potential while Grid transcended the limits of his class several times and became an unrivaled existence .

Agnus had actually lost to Jishuka . Agnus should’ve smashed the Cho Kingdom and Jishuka, yet he was defeated . This was a great shock to the S . A Group . At this rate, the intention behind creating the Baal’s Contractor class would be lost . Thus, they were worried about the future of the game .

“Due to Agnus, several episodes weren’t born and the Yatan Church is on the verge of destruction . The operations and development teams predict that the crisis will only be resolved if Baal accepts a new contractor . ”

“That would be best . Didn’t Agnus turn down most of Baal’s quests in the first place? That’s why his assimilation rate is low and there isn’t much power when possessing the body . I think Baal would also be dissatisfied with Agnus . ”

“ . . . Yet surprisingly, Baal likes Agnus . ”

“He likes a disobedient person who doesn’t listen?”

“It is because it is all a joke to Baal . He is having fun watching Agnus’ choices and actions . ”

“What does that mean . . . ? Then he won’t pick a new Baal’s Contractor?”

“At this moment, Baal doesn’t want to . ”

“……”

The meeting room was filled with a sorrowful atmosphere . They were worried that if the ‘legend attack strategy’ recently discovered by some high rankers were known to the world, then Agnus would become a punching bag for others .

In the early days of Satisfy, Agnus was filled with pure malice and carried out reckless PK, igniting the resentment of many people . If Agnus really became a punching bag then Baal’s Contractor might not be able to recover .

In the midst of the worries, Yoon Sangmin opened his mouth, “The reason Agnus hasn’t grown is that first, he didn’t communicate with Baal . Second, he wasn’t obsessed with leveling . Third, he didn’t avoid death . He played the game very roughly . That’s it . ”

In particular, he used his deceased creation skill in such an absurd manner . Agnus wasn’t interested in the game despite being a top ranked player .

“However, I think it will be different in the future . ”

Director Yoon Sangmin’s mouth curved up in a smile as he brought up the holographic report that had just arrived from the head of the operations team . “There is a record that Agnus fled as soon as he confirmed that his health was getting dangerous during battle . ”

“ . . . . . . !!”

Anyone who felt danger of death during battle was bound to escape . Running away was the right answer . The penalty that occurred due to death was ‘a loss of a huge amount of time . ’ Everyone was afraid of death because the experience they spent days accumulating was lost in a moment .

Agnus responded in the same way . This was great evidence that Agnus had decided to focus on the game .

“I’m sure he will start interacting with Baal soon . I’m already looking forward to the new deceased that Agnus will create . ”

He might be threatened by the strongest in an individual battle, but he was invincible in a war . This was Baal’s Contractor . If Baal’s Contractor had done his job well in the first place, the Yatan Church wouldn’t be at risk of destruction . As long as Agnus was in good spirits, the balance would surely be maintained .

The faces of the S . A Group executives brightened .

On the other hand, Chairman Lim Cheolho, who had been silent throughout the meeting, still had a dark expression on his face .

‘Now there is only one left . ’

Sword Saint—it was a class that had a slow growth rate and relied heavily on Formless Will . It was the class that was most affected by talent because the player needed to create combat skills themselves . The difficulty of growth was very high, but the potential was the best . Therefore, Chairman Lim Cheolho had felt great joy and anticipation when Kraugel became the Sword Saint .

However, Kraugel’s recent appearance shattered Chairman Lim Cheolho’s expectations . There was no ranker who wasn’t stubborn, but talking about ‘my own swordsmanship’ and ignoring the secret techniques of the former Sword Saints . . .

At this point, it wasn’t stubbornness . It was ego .

‘Even that Agnus has changed . Now it is time for you to give up your ego too . ’

This was what Chairman Lim Cheolho wanted .

“……”

In the video, Kraugel once again didn’t learn the new secret technique of Muller that he acquired . The executives seemed to expect it and didn’t show any interest in Kraugel . Chairman Lim Cheolho sighed . However, even Chairman Lim Cheolho couldn’t imagine it .

The fact that Kraugel’s actions were scratching at Biban’s pride .
