Overgeared - Chapter 311

Chapter 311
Chapter 311



‘Naive… No, a fool . Learn how to be more suspicious and vigilant . ’

Braham had no intention of taking Grid’s body from the beginning . He needed to be resurrected in his own body, not somebody else’s .

The reason why he attempted to take Grid’s body was to make an alarm ring with Grid . It might seem threatening, but it was intended to do a favor for Grid .

Why?

‘He’s a person who makes me nervous, but he’s also the benefactor who achieved my 300 year old wish . ’

It was his way of expressing his appreciation . Grid didn’t know it .

[Well, we might be enemies when next we meet . ]

Braham’s soul started moving . His destination was the Sword Grave . It was where Braham’s body was sealed .



***

Reidan was a city that aimed to be the next Talima . Therefore, Administrator Rabbit invested most of the budget into blacksmithing and alchemy development .

But it was funny . Currently, the most developed area in Reidan was agriculture . Fields spread out in all directions around Reidan .

“Now the crops are growing . ”

Grid returned after completing a quest that he had left alone for a year and a half . He looked around at the fields .

“I think the scale has become bigger…”

He didn’t know why, but Piaro had a passive skill that had a 100% chance of making the land fertile . Thanks to this, Reidan always enjoyed the pleasure of a good harvest, no matter what crops were grown . The agricultural products accounted for the largest portion of the items that Reidan exported .

‘It is rumored that this is an agricultural city . ’

A city with a legendary blacksmith had become an agricultural city? It was indeed ironic . Honestly, Grid didn’t like it .

“Huh?”

The agricultural section of Reidan was growing despite not having a big budget invested in it! He didn’t know if he should be glad or sad . The confused Grid stopped in place at the rice fields . It was because a scene captured his gaze .

“You can do it! A newcomer will arrive in one hour!”

“Okay! Heok? Dammit! We have been waiting for a new guy!”



Heave ho, heave ho .

Farmers were working hard, using various farming equipment . Users were mixed in among them?

‘What?’

The desert ecosystem had stabilized thanks to the activities of the Overgeared members, but the barrier of entry was still high . It was unthinkable to step foot in this place unless they were level 260+ users . In Reidan, it was difficult to find users other than the Overgeared members, and the residents were NPCs . In such a situation, why were users farming?

As Grid was feeling doubts . Piaro, leader of Overgeared Knights Division and commander in chief of Reidan appeared in the fields . He started to lecture the hard working users in the field .

“It isn’t about the quality of the hand plow . More wrist…”

“Isn’t the ground too fine? This isn’t the only way to plant seedlings . Brownie trees grow better in rough soil . ”

“…”



[A legendary farmer has been born!]



He recalled the phrase he witnessed a few months ago . Grid was blank with shock for a moment, before shaking his head .

“No . Piaro dreams of being a sword saint, so he can’t be a farmer . My Piaro isn’t a farmer . ”

He decided, but he couldn’t bring himself to check Piaro’s details using the Great Lord’s Sword .

‘I should ask about the Amethyst Shield next time…’

He didn’t want to talk to Piaro while he was wearing a straw hat .

Trudge trudge .

Grid’s footsteps were heavy as he ignored Piaro and moved away from the fields . On the other hand, 21 users were working in the fields under Piaro’s direction .

‘Dammit… A 55th ranked magician has to be farming . ’

‘I have to swing a hand plow instead of a sword…’

The 21 users caught by Piaro had a high level . Most of them were in the late 200s . They came to Reidan to join Overgeared, but unfortunately couldn’t join the guild . It was because they were caught by a crazy farmer .

The crazy farmer was naturally Piaro .

In the past when he dreamed of becoming a sword saint, he enjoyed fighting with strong users and caught the ankles of high level users . After becoming a legendary farmer, he caught the users’ ankles for another reason .



“I will develop Reidan into the best agricultural city . ”

The problem was that Administrator Rabbit didn’t increase their budget . In particular, he was lacking manpower . Insufficient manpower? He had to make up the difference .

“Uhuh! That isn’t how you use a hand plow!”

“…Hah . ”

The users caught by Piaro could only sigh . However, the reason they stayed in the fields was because of the reward of the quest .



[Fun and Enjoyable Training!]

★ Hidden Quest ★

Live with the farmer Piaro in Reidan . If you join him, you can grow significantly .

Quest Clear Conditions: Live together with Piaro for three weeks .

Quest Clear Rewards: All stats +10 . The skill ‘Farming’ will be obtained .



The reward was low compared to the hidden quest that Kraugel and Damian received . However, that was just a story for the two people . From a general point of view, the reward of +10 to all stats was tremendous .

“There is a crazy farmer in Reidan . He will fight you and knock you down . Don’t run away . That’s right . If you can endure the trials that will follow, you will be able to taste sweet fruit . ”

A strange rumor started to circulate on the Internet . Most people thought it was a ghost story, but the seven guilds were different .

“Crazy farmer…!”

Reidan was still being guarded by him? The 2nd ranked Zibal grabbed his forehead . His forehead was still sore .



***

The first person Grid looked for when he arrived in Reidan wasn’t Irene or Khan . It wasn’t Lauel or Rabbit either .

“Eh? Grid?”

Laella . A beautiful British woman who was a world class idol .

Grid was once her fan . Rather than her excellent vocal ability or appearance, Grid liked her because her body suited his tastes . Her breasts were very large . It was enough to be reminiscent of fruit .

“…”

“What did you find me for?”

Grid stared at her breasts as always . Laella’s face turned red with embarrassment and she hurriedly asked . Grid regained his spirit at her reaction and explained his purpose .

“Hum hum, this time I learned magic . I want to accurately test its power . ”

Laella was in charge of the magicians at Reidan . There was a facility for measuring magic power in the mage barracks that she was in charge of, and Grid wanted to use it .

“Magic?”

Laella’s eyes widened . The blacksmith Grid could use magic?

“How can you use magic…? Ah! You did a quest related to Braham . Did you learn a spell from Braham? What spell did he teach you?”

Grid replied to Laella without hiding anything .

“Magic Missile . ”

“…Ah, yes . ”

Indeed, it would be hard to teach a blacksmith proper magic . Laella couldn’t hide her disappointment and led Grid to the training ground behind the barracks .

“Fireball!”

“Ice Arrow!”

It was the Ul Clan, who Grid had saved from destruction . They were gifted in magic and were training on one side of the training ground . Laella pointed to a silver scarecrow as Grid was observing the Ul Clan with a proud expression .

The scarecrow was produced by Reidan’s alchemy facility . It was a type of magic sandbag that could set the magic resistance from 0 to 5,000 .

“First, set the magic resistance to zero . ”

Grid stood in front of the scarecrow and Laella said to him .

“I have set it up . ”

“Okay! Magic Missile!”

Grid aimed at the scarecrow and shouted . Then a white flash struck the scarecrow .



[You have dealt 2,894 damage to the target . ]



The effects of various titles, Malacus’ Cloak and the Black Quartz Earrings meant that he currently had 1,048 intelligence . The resulting magic power was 1,258 . The buff on the pavranium increased magic power by 15%, so Grid’s final magic power was 1,447 .

The expected maximum damage of Magic Missile (Enhanced) was 2,894, and this was the result that emerged . Laella was startled .

‘Isn’t this surprisingly powerful? Is he wearing items that amplify magic power?’

A blacksmith didn’t invest points in the intelligence stat . Laella thought that Grid had 400 intelligence at most . The damage that users could exercise with a Lv . 1 Magic Missile and 400 magic power was very small .

Grid’s Magic Missile was remarkably powerful . Grid spoke to the stunned Laella .

“Increase the scarecrow’s magic resistance to the maximum . ”

The maximum was 5,000 . Even most boss monsters didn’t have this much magic resistance . Magic Missile would be completely ineffective against it .

“There will be no damage . ”

Grid just urged Laella .

“Hurry . ”

‘It’s a pointless experiment . ’

Laella thought that Grid was so excited about magic that rational judgment was impossible . She imagined Grid’s look of disappointment as she set the scarecrow’s magic resistance to 5,000 . Then after a while .



[You have dealt 2,894 damage to the target . ]



“W-What…?”

Laella was astonished . Grid’s Magic Missile ignored 100% of the target’s magic resistance . In short, it was a scam . Laella hiccuped with surprise, while Grid made a satisfied expression .

‘It isn’t very efficient in hunting or raids . ’

It was great against users whose maximum health was only 10,000 . The activation time was one second and the cooldown time was five seconds . It was a spell that would be very useful in PvP .

A dark smile appeared on Grid’s face . Then a guest came to see him . It was a completely unexpected guest .
