Overgeared - Chapter 635

Chapter 635

Chapter 635

"Yes, what was the reaction of the Overgeared King?”

The Saharan Empire, the castle of Sword Duke Limit .

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

The four swords that Limit deployed in the air devastated the field . It was the swordsmanship that he trained .  Limit was confident that his swordsmanship transcended great swordsman Piaro and even Sword Saint Muller . But due to a lack of achievements, he couldn’t claim to be a legend or a sword saint . Mercedes kneeled in the rising dust and answered his question .

“He accepted . ”

“Hah . . . He bowed?” Limit shook his head with surprise . He gazed with hollow eyes at the kneeling Mercedes .   "The rebel who faced a force of 100,000 troops alone accepted the imperious demands of the empire without protesting? He didn’t run wild?”

"Yes, he followed it very quietly . On the surface . ”

“Is it different?”

"That's right . Grid is like a beast who can’t be tamed . He was kneeling, but couldn’t hide his sharp eyes . ”

"Asmophel’s Eyes . ”

‘Asmophel’s Eyes’ was widely used among the imperial knights . It meant the eyes were filled with enthusiasm for the future without being frustrated by the trials of the moment . It was the eyes of the eternal No . 2, Asmophel, when he looked at Piaro .

“Hrmm, that’s good . Yes, that’s the Overgeared King . ”

Limit was one of the six dukes of the Saharan Empire . From a general point of view, he was the most loyal person to the empire .  He wasn’t angry when he heard that Grid didn’t truly yield? If someone witnessed this scene, they wouldn’t understand it .

But Mercedes was tranquil .

The Red Knights were a group rebuilt by Empress Marie, not Emperor Juander . On the surface, they were knights under the direct control of the empire . However, reality was different . They were no different from the limbs of the empress . Limit, chief of the Red Knights, moved according to the will of the empress .

In fact, it wasn’t like this from the beginning .  Limit dedicated his loyalty to the emperor when he was first appointed as chief of the Red Knights . But the emperor betrayed him .  

The five pillars . Emperor Juander called them talents to support the empire and preferred them more than the Red Knights . The Red Knights were forced to feel deprived and this led to Limit turning completely away from the emperor .

"Mercedes, I want you to tell His Majesty the Emperor your thoughts about the Overgeared King . Try to convince the angry emperor to dispatch troops to the Overgeared Kingdom . In that gap, Empress Marie will have time to reorganize the political factions . ”

"I understand . ”

Mercedes responded politely and left . She struggled as she rode her white horse towards the imperial palace .

'I don’t know what is best for the empire . ’

Was it really right to deceive His Majesty the Emperor? The struggle between factions increased over who should become crown prince .  Mercedes was worried that the empire would be torn apart . There was a person who was watching her closely .

‘Ha, my goddess . ’

It was Mercedes’ retainer, Sky .  An unofficial ranker, he had been acting in the empire ever since Satisfy opened . He joined the Black Knights and was recently admitted as a reserve in the Red Knights . His talent was enough to become a retainer of the 1st knight .

‘I will stand by the goddess forever . ’

A huge smile .  Mercedes was a beautiful woman who made him smile just looking at her .  Sky’s love for her was very deep . It was equal to Damian’s love for Isabel . However, it wasn’t pure .

'My goddess Mercedes, I will surely make you my slave . ’

“Hello, Grid?”

“Hmm?”

This was the East continent .  Since the entry rate of players was still low, more than 99 . 9% of the population were NPCs .  Unlike the West Continent, people rarely recognized Grid . No, it didn’t exist at all .  Yet this person recognized him with one glance . Grid turned towards the man approaching and confirmed the name above his head .

‘Muto . ’

A player .

‘ . . . He must be considerably skilled to be on the East Continent . ’

Grid was alert .  Muto came close without hesitation . It was even a nice expression! ‘The expression is so good that it’s ridiculous . Usually these are bad people . ’ It was a prejudice .  But he was right to be wary .  The world of Satisfy wasn’t an easy place where all strangers in unfamiliar areas were friendly . In particular, Grid was concerned about the eight people accompanying Muto .

[Legendary Blacksmith’s Eyes]

It was a skill that allowed him to peek at item information when observing it for more than three seconds . Based on this skill, the eight people with Muto were at least level 280 .  

‘A person who has such tough subordinates won’t be ordinary . ’

Muto spoke as Grid became increasingly alert .

"I don’t have any combat power . I was able to cross to the East Continent purely due to my speaking ability . I’m a merchant . I ran the Muto Company, which is named after me . ”

"A man with acumen . ”

Grid spoke without letting down his guard . Muto scratched his head .

"Unlike Grid, I’m not at the level to be on the unified rankings . But you’ll be able to find me if you check the merchant rankings . ”

“Oh . . . ”

Grid immediately checked the rankings and was surprised . Muto was the third ranked merchant .

‘It isn’t a bluff that he runs a company . Come to think about it, Lauel said repeatedly that the market must grow in order to boost the economy . ’

Lauel spoke of the need to attract a large influx of merchants . However, it was difficult because most merchants were active in the empire . In particular, the Overgeared Kingdom had a clear limit on the population . From a merchant’s point of view, it was a kingdom with little value .

‘For the sake of the kingdom, it’s better to build a relationship with a merchant . ’

Grid controlled his expression . He didn’t completely get rid of his vigilance and shook Muto’s hand .

“Grid . ”

“Ohh! It’s an honor to shake hands with the prestigious King Grid of the Overgeared Kingdom!”

Indeed, he was a merchant . The cheerful Grid asked Muto a question .

“Who are these people?”

"They’re mercenaries I hired on the East Continent . As you know, the monsters here are really strong, so mercenaries from the West Continent are useless . I’m currently moving to Kars . Is it the same for Grid?”

"That's right . What are you going to Kars for?”

"My goal is to meet the Cho King and make a commercial exchange with him . ”

"Cho King . . . ”

Grid’s expression became uncomfortable .  Grid had to rescue the Han Seokbong father and daughter, so the king might become an enemy . Muto read Grid’s expression, roughly noticed the situation and laughed .

“Maybe there’s a bad relationship between you and the Cho King? It’s surprising . I thought Grid was going to Kars to form a diplomatic relationship with the Cho Kingdom . ”

"I would be glad if I could, but the situation isn’t simple . ”

Maybe he would need to harm the Cho King .  Grid couldn’t reveal his purpose when Muto still couldn’t be trusted . Muto retreated . The conversation turned to Idan and Yang Fei .

"Who are they? They’re unusual colleagues . ”

Rather than strong warriors, he was crossing the East Continent with a middle-aged man and a young woman? It was only possible because it was Grid . Muto watched on with admiration as Grid explained .

"They are my exclusive chef and tea master . ”

“Wow . ”

How many players in this world had a dedicated chef and tea master for adventures? A rich person would be able to hire a chef for gourmet meals . But Grid was the only one with a tea master .

‘He’s a king for a reason . The scale is different . ’

It was a famous fact that the Overgeared Kingdom was poor .   But just because the kingdom was poor didn’t mean that Grid had to be poor . Grid was rumored to be quite wealthy and came up with the money to construct the kingdom himself .

'I should get close to him . ’

From a trader’s point of view, there was nothing wrong with exchanges with the rich . Especially if the person was the king of a country! Muto looked at Grid with shining eyes .

"Would you like a meal?”

Chef Idan handed a plate to Muto . It was a plate of soup .

“Can I really accept?”

"I have just finished preparing lunch . There’s a lot remaining . ”

"I'll eat thankfully!"

What person could resist a freebie? Muto was thrilled by Idan’s favor and gladly took the soup . At this moment, a sharp smell pierced his nose . But his stamina was low, so he put the soup to his mouth and swallowed it . Then he tasted hell .

[You have consumed something that shouldn’t be eaten . ]

[You have been poisoned (large) . ]

[1,840 health is consumed per second and your skin has started to rot . ]

“Keok!”

Muto felt danger to his life . He had to take the highest grade antidote in order to treat the poison . It was an expensive antidote to pay for a free meal .

“W-What is this . . . !”

Was it an assassination attempt? Muto’s eyes were alert as he looked at Grid, but it was only for a moment .

"You have no idea about cooking . Spitting out the best dish I made, tsk tsk . ”

“ . . . ”

Ah, Idan was such a character . Muto belatedly realized and looked at Grid grimly .

‘To hire a potential killer as a chef . . . It is obvious that Grid’s palate isn’t right . ’

Grid lived his life without knowing the pleasure of great food . Yes, a poor man . Muto felt sympathetic towards Grid .  Muto frowned and suggested .

“If you don’t mind, can I accompany you? Our purpose in meeting the Cho King is different, but the direction is the same . I think it would be good to be companions . I will personally be happy if I can interact with Grid . ”

“Okay . But a party won’t be formed . I don’t want to share experience . ”

“Of course . ”

"However, if the items are shared by the party leader then I am willing to offer a party . Your escorts seem quite useful . ”

" . . . No, I will pass . ”

“Will you refuse my favor?”

“ . . . ”

"Of course, I will distribute the items fairly . ”

" . . . I understand . The king of a kingdom wouldn’t cheat a merchant . . . ”

“ . . . ”

The two people moved together for five days before arriving in Kars . In the process, they talked a lot .  Grid tried to make friends with a merchant ranker while Muto analyzed Grid’s words and ideas in order to see his vision of the Overgeared Kingdom . The result?

"Is it possible for you to accept the Muto Company in the Overgeared Kingdom?”

The blessing rolled into Grid’s hand .  In addition, Grid got to know new facts thanks to Muto .  First of all, it was possible to move between continents without using a scroll .  Secondly, the economic power of the empire was great enough to far exceed his expectations . Third, an ordinary person without a passive conditional resistance would get resistance to poison if they constantly ate Idan’s cuisine .

It was a beneficial companionship .
