Overgeared - Chapter 628

Chapter 628

“Your Majestyyy!! I never imagined that Your Majesty would save me personally! Someone who takes care of the wellbeing of every person . You are the epitome of a king!”

“Y-Yes . . . ”  

"This Fatima will pay back Your Majesty’s grace from generation to generation! I would take off my underwear and walk the streets naked for you!”

“Ah . . . Um . . . ” 

Grid scratched his cheeks with embarrassment when he met Fatima .  It was purely a coincidence that Grid saved Fatima .

‘I didn’t know that Fatima had been confined in the mansion by Earl Bruno . ’

Earl Bruno .  He hadn’t expected Duke Steim’s aide to be the head of the rebel group . . .

Grid glanced over at Duke Steim who was still bowing his head as a sinner .  Grid sighed and encouraged him .

"Father-in-law, aren’t you the one in the one in the most pain right now? I’m fine . Please calm down and stabilize your land . ”

“ . . . I understand . In the future, I will be more thorough so that this terrible situation doesn’t occur again . ”

Duke Steim pledged and left with his soldiers .  Earl Bruno was head of the Anti Grid Alliance and Grid came to Frontier and punished him .  If such rumors spread, Frontier would become a crucible of chaos . Duke Steim had an obligation to restore the anxious public sentiment .

“Fatima . ”

"Yes, Your Majesty . ”

Fatima respectfully replied despite his wounded body .  It was a sign that one-sided violence had been dealt by the strong against the weak .

‘It’s the same everywhere . ’

Grid was reminded of the heavy past and pulled out a potion . He hesitated before handing it to Fatima .

"This is precious medicine . Drink this first . Then I hope you will show me the method to making underwear . ”

"Y-Your Majesty is giving me a potion . . . !”

In fact, Grid had given Fatima a cheap low-grade potion . It was for level 50 novice users or lower .  But it was a precious potion to Fatima .

"I-I will keep this as an heirloom!”

“ . . . ”

Fatima shouted while hugging the potion .  He didn’t seem like he was going to drink the potion .  Grid trembled .

‘That bastard is trying to take my potion bottle . . . ’

But what could he do? He moved immediately .  Grid took out another potion with trembling hands and urged Fatima .

“It doesn’t qualify as a heirloom so drink it . Then let me know your underwear making method . ”

"Follow His Majesty’s words!”

"Tailor Fatima, what are you doing not following the command?”

The knights were furious .  The 28 knights left from Earl Bruno .  They stared at Fatima, who didn’t immediately follow Grid’s orders . The scared Fatima hurriedly drank the potion .  Grid looked at the knights with a warm smile .

‘They are strong . ’

He already looked at their strength using the Great Lord’s Sword .  The 28 knights, freed thanks to Earl Bruno, had reached level 250 .  The level of the skills they acquired were far behind the eight knights trained by Piaro and Asmophel .

‘It isn’t a problem since those eight knights are exceptional . ’

Grid planned to direct the eight knights to lead these 28 knights .  It would be easier on Grid and Grid wanted the young talents to develop the capabilities of a leader .  This was an investment for the future of the Overgeared Kingdom .

‘This is the tailor’s workshop . ’

Grid moved to Fatima’s residence and looked around the studio with interest .  The tailor’s studio was completely different from the smithy .  It was calm, without the noisy sound of hammering, and there was no heat . The smell of leather, instead of iron, filled the air .  It was a tranquil and relaxing place .  The most important factor when working with cloth and leather was concentration .

‘Well, I’m not lacking concentration . ’

It wasn’t unusual for a smithy to be busy and chaotic .  Working there required high concentration, so Grid would naturally have high concentration as a legendary blacksmith .  Who was Grid? Other people got a production button while he had to make every individual item by hand . Therefore, he was . . . A god . A god of labor . His concentration wasn’t lacking compared to others .  

‘Now, come . ’

Frontier’s tailors learned how to make underwear due to environmental factors .  The learning difficulty would be high .  However, Grid had around 3,500 dexterity and infinite tenacity . No matter the difficulty of the underwear, it was likely he would master it quickly .  Fatima was worried as he watched Grid .

‘It’s clear that the king has a high pride as a legendary blacksmith . He probably thinks of underwear making as easy . ’

In reality, there were no techniques that was easy .  Tailoring was as difficult as blacksmithing and it wasn’t a skill easily learned . Among them, the underwear making method required high dexterity and intermediate level tailoring skills .

‘I don’t want His Majesty to be disappointed if he can’t learn how to make underwear . ’

Fatima was pained at the thought of his king suffering a broken heart .  Grid urged him while he was making a sad expression .

“Why aren’t you teaching me your underwear making method?”

" . . . Please prepare your heart . ”

Fatima could no longer delay it .  He hoped that Grid wouldn’t be frustrated as he handed over the underwear making method that he invented .

[Tailoring Technique Training]

Class Quest

The possibilities for your development have become greater after learning the Tailoring Technique .  

If you get to the point where you can combine blacksmithing and tailoring, your foundation as a blacksmith will expand exponentially .

But it is still difficult to utilize the tailoring technique .

The gap between the intermediate tailoring skill and legendary blacksmith skill is too large .

The intermediate tailoring technique is likely to degrade the quality of the legendary blacksmith’s work .

Raise the level of your tailoring skill to the point where it can be combined with blacksmithing .

Quest Clear Conditions: Master the Advanced Tailoring Technique .

Quest Clear Reward: Level +6 . The opening of craftsman level Tailoring Technique .

“Ah, XX . ”

He had accidentally subjugated the head of the rebels and easily obtained the underwear making method, only to automatically clear the next quest .  This luck was too good .  

‘Does it make sense to ask a blacksmith to master the tailoring skill? Are they crazy?’

How many cloth clothing would he have to produce to master the tailoring skill? It couldn’t be measured .  That’s right .  This class quest was forcing Grid past the level of labor . It was natural for Grid to curse .

‘When will this class quest end?’

“%$(#!!”

Grid spat out curses .  Fatima looked like a carp beside him .  The other tailors of Frontier couldn’t learn how to make underwear no matter how hard they tried, yet the blacksmith Grid did it in the blink of an eye .

‘This is the skill of a true legend . . . ! It’s no different from a god!’

It was the moment another Grid believer was born .

"Hao, I am so glad to meet you . ”

"If you don’t mind, can you give me a signature?”

The Youngwoo Building 1F cafe .  The lively cafe employees showed a passionate response to Hao .  This was the position of a Satisfy high ranker .  People with outstanding achievements in Satisfy were popular in reality, regardless of their personality . Even the bald Vantner was surrounded by fans when he went to the city center . Ah, in Vantner’s case, the proportion of male fans was overwhelmingly high .

“I will order a sweet potato latte . ”

Hao didn’t care about managing his image . He didn’t give a business smile even when he met enthusiastic fans . He just acted according to his personality and that coolness caused an increase in female fans .  The employees were amazed when they received Hao’s order in sloppy Korean .

“Oh my, how strange . ”

“Isn’t this the same drink that Grid orders every morning?”

"Do the rankers like sweet potato lattes?”

“ . . . !!”

Hao’s ears pricked up at the words . His pupils became bigger . He asked the employees .

"Grid has a sweet potato latte every day?”

"Yes, he likes it a lot . He drinks sweet potato lattes on sunny days and cloudy days . ”

"I have never see Grid drink coffee . Does he dislike it?”

“Isn't he cute? Hehe . ”

“ . . . ”

The employees forget their duties and started gossiping about Grid . Hao stared at them and opened his mouth .

"Two sweet potato lattes . No, I will order three . ”

Hao was a genius called a ‘miracle’ in China, which boasted the world’s largest population .  It was enough to recognize himself as a person at the top of humanity .  But that was just until he met Grid and Kraugel .  Hao was firmly aware that he was below Grid and Kraugel and felt envious of them .

He dreamt that he could grow to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Kraugel and Grid .  Thus, at this moment, he decided to drink sweet potato lattes . He thought he could grow more if he followed Grid’s food and drink preferences .

'I will drink sweet potato latte every morning in the future . The key to Grid’s focus in the game is the sweet potato latte . ’

Hao was jubilant that he came to South Korea .
