Overgeared - Chapter 312

Chapter 312
Chapter 312



Following the Magic Missile test, Grid headed to Khan’s smithy . Thanks to Grid, Khan was able to achieve Advanced Blacksmithing level 7 . He was a more capable blacksmith than he was in Winston .

He supervised and taught over 80 young blacksmiths, while producing the supplies that Rabbit and the army commissioned .

“Don’t you look younger?”

Grid’s face brightened after not seeing Khan for a long time . Khan looked much better than before . Khan chuckled .

“Interacting with young people, isn’t it natural to become younger and healthier? This is all due to you . I’m so happy that I could meet you at the end of my life and enjoy such blessings . ”

“I’m happy that you’re happy . ”

Grid had known Khan since the days when he was invisible . Grid’s affection for Khan was endless, and Khan was the same .

“For the rest of my life, I will always work hard for you . I will raise the blacksmiths of Reidan until I die . ”

“No, you’re still young and healthy, so you have a lot of time left . Don’t say that even as a joke . Huh?”

Grid belatedly looked around the castle . The other blacksmiths were watching him nervously . Work had stopped since the duke came and they were also restless .

“You worked hard . Don’t mind me and continue what you were doing . ”

“Yes!”

The blacksmiths bowed deeply and returned to their place . Grid stood next to Khan and observed them .

“There are already two blacksmiths who have risen to the intermediate rank . ”

It had only been half a year since Reidan started training blacksmiths . The fact that intermediate blacksmiths were already born was an incredible growth .

“The environment is good . They can often see the work of a legendary blacksmith, so their talent can bloom faster . ”

That’s right . It was useless to have excellent talent if the environment didn’t support them . The reason why the blacksmiths of Reidan could develop rapidly was because they received teachings from Grid and Khan, and had a good space to work .

“Until the day that they all become craftsmen, please continue to work for a long time Khan . ”

Khan was the first friend in Grid’s life, so he was more important than anyone else . Grid was eager for Khan to live a long time .

“I understand . I will persistently survive and raise 10,000 craftsmen . ”

It was a joke, but Grid wanted it to be reality .

“I’m looking forward to it . ”

“Hah, truly . You want this old man to overdo it . ”

“You won’t grow old . You will still be in full swing even when you’re 70 . ”

“So I will be in a cage?”

“Oh, that’s a good idea?”



Duke Grid and the commoner Khan, it was a strange relationship . The difference between the two people was greater than the heavens and earth . Yet they were on such friendly terms…

‘Indeed, our teacher is great!’

The young blacksmiths felt more respect towards Khan and were brimming with enthusiasm .

Ttang! Ttang!

The hammering sounds in Reidan didn’t stop today .



***

Grid confirmed that there were promising and talented blacksmiths . He was filled with joy as Irene greeted him .

“Dear husband~”

Irene ran into Grid’s arms with a large smile . As always, she freely expressed her affection towards Grid . Irene’s love was delightful and precious for Grid, who had little experience with being loved by someone .

“I’m glad you have returned safely . ”

Irene buried her face in Grid’s wide chest . A pleasant smell exuded from her soft and clean skin .

“I’ve missed you so much . ”

“I also wanted to see you . ”

Grid kissed Irene’s forehead . The words were great . It was an an unimaginable appearance for the normal Grid .

“Indeed…”

Lauel saw Grid and Irene and gave a meaningful smile . He covered half his face with one hand and sent a provocative gaze towards Grid .

“I saw it on the news, but I am convinced at this moment . ”

“What?”

Grid was confused by the words and looked at Lauel in a questioning manner .

Kukuk, Lauel’s shoulders shook as he laughed .

“You must’ve been my only friend and rival in a past life, Angel Sylvanus . ”

“…”

Lauel’s chunnibyou symptom was in full bloom after witnessing the white haired Grid . He recognized Grid as similar to himself and included Grid in his delusional worldview .

‘When will this sickness be healed…?’

Tsk, Grid ignored Lauel and touched Irene’s belly .

“In the next two months, I can meet Gold . ”



“Huhut, that’s right . I wish that day will come quickly . ”

“…Gold?” Lauel’s face was disturbed as he regained his reason . “Grid, are you planning to call your child Gold?”

Surely he wouldn’t name his child Gold? It was something that shouldn’t happen . The possibility of it being called Grid II was also too big .

“You have to consider the position of the child when naming it!”

Grid looked sharply at Lauel .

“What are you saying? I’m not crazy enough to call my child Gold? It’s just a temporary name . ”

“R-Really?”

He was glad . Grid’s naming sense was too bad . Then Lauel asked again .

“What will you name the child when it is born?”

Grid replied with a confident expression, “I was thinking of Grene after Irene . ”

“Yes?”

“Grene . ”

“…?”

Was this a joke?

‘Of course it’s a joke . ’

Lauel wanted to believe that . But Grid’s proud expression and Irene’s reaction were terrible .

“Oh my, dear husband . The name Grene is too pretty . It is a pretty and cute name that will suit a boy or a girl . ”

‘What on earth…?’

It was scary . Irene thought any suggestion from Grid was good . Nobody knew that this absolute love and faith came from Grid’s dexterity .



***

Grid’s office . Grid called Piaro and asked him .

“What do you know about the 3rd Prince of the Saharan Empire?”

“He’s the third son of the deceased Empress Aria and has an introverted personality, unlike his siblings . I only saw him a few times and don’t know any details . Why are you suddenly asking about him?”

“This . ”

Grid pulled the Amethyst Shield out of his inventory . Piaro’s eyes widened with surprise .

“How do you have this…?”

“A monster called the Guardian of the Forest dropped it . It was originally an object of honor?”

“It is a symbol that has been inherited from generation to generation by the captain of the Red Knights . ”

“Is there anything special about it?”

“Yes, it is just a shield with a gorgeous appearance . The performance itself isn’t very good . ”

“Then why is the 3rd Prince looking for this?”

“3rd Prince…?”

“It seems like he is looking for several things . ”

“Hrmm . ” Piaro suddenly recalled one fact . “That reminds me, there was a time when the 3rd Prince was interested in some ritual . His hobby is rituals, so he might be collecting the items necessary for it . ”

“Ritual? What ritual?”

“I don’t know . It is just likely that the Amethyst Shield is useful as a tool for the ritual . ”

“Hrmm . ”

Was it a black magic ritual?

‘It is a shame . ’ It might be better not to hand these things over to the 3rd Prince . ‘But it could be a quest related to an episode, so I can’t ignore it completely… Well, I’ll look at the situation and act accordingly . ’

In the first place, it wasn’t urgent . Grid had separate priorities . At that time, Lauel sent a whisper to Grid .

–A guest has come .

‘Guest?’

The guest wouldn’t be normal if they could arrive in Reidan . In particular, the person must be big if Lauel was talking to him about it .

–Who?

–Chris .

–Chris? 3rd on the unified rankings?

–Yes .

Chris was the head of the Giant Guild, the largest of the seven guilds . Grid hadn’t heard about him since the First National Competition and the Reinhardt golem invasion .

‘But Chris has a hostile relationship with the Tzedakah Guild . ’

Why would he take the risk to come here? Grid was interested and immediately rose from his spot .

–Bring him to the drawing room .



***

The Giant Guild lost their territory after the golem invasion and had a hard time for half a year . In particular, Chris’ reputation was hit hard because he was defeated by Regas in the National Competition .

But Chris and the Giant Guild didn’t get frustrated . They overcame the trials! Their power became bigger than before . In particular, Chris obtained a very useful second class . He was several times stronger than before .

However, there was a problem . He couldn’t find a satisfactory weapon . Despite watching the item trading sites and in-game auction site for 24 hours a day, a suitable weapon didn’t show up . Chris gradually became nervous because he knew how important items were to the game .

Thus, he looked for Grid .

“Make me the strongest weapon . ”

This was the first time Grid met Chris . He only saw the 3rd ranking user on the news or from far away . In the past, the Giant Guild had a conflict with the Tzedakah Guild, but Grid had no personal grudge against Chris .

However, the other members of the Tzedakah Guild were a problem .

“I remember that Jishuka hates you quite a bit . Why should I ignore my guild members to make you an item?”

Grid had the advantage . Grid was currently in a much higher position . Of course, Grid didn’t intend this, but it worked out excellently . Chris was in a bad position and had to bow to Grid .

“I will give you a lot of money . In addition, the Tzedakah Guild doesn’t have a big grudge towards me . ”

“Then why was there a feud?”

“It was due to my one-sided competition, and the Tzedakah Guild didn’t avoid the fight . ”

When playing the game called L . T . S . , Chris and the Giant Guild had always been defeated by the Tzedakah Guild . The grudge was deeply rooted and this sense of competitiveness carried over to Satisfy .

On the other hand, the Tzedakah Guild didn’t even look at the Giant Guild . It was the victim who clung onto the relationship .

“I will check it out . In any case, how much will you pay me if I make you an item?”

“I will give you something more precious than money . ”

Chris pulled a potion out of his inventory . Grid’s eyes widened as he examined the details .

‘Elixir…!’

It was a rare potion that was hard to obtain, even after clearing five vampire cities . Companies with huge assets and rankers aiming for the top wanted them, but the supply was scarce and the price soared .

Elixirs were also necessary for Grid . To be precise, it was the agility elixir . In order for his swordsmanship to become more powerful, it was necessary to make his agility equal to his strength . Coincidentally, the elixir that Chris presented was the agility elixir .

Grid’s brain started to rotate quickly .

‘It is a deal that must be unconditionally accepted . ’

However, there was a problem . Chris might become the enemy of Overgeared . Obviously, he should avoid the act of making his enemies stronger .

‘But it is too good to decline… Aha . ’

Ssik .

A wicked smile appeared on Grid’s face as he contemplated the elixir in front of him .
