Overgeared Chapter 622:
‘But it’s amazing . ’
Grid had selected and trained 100 blacksmiths . According to experience, advanced blacksmiths weren’t easily born, no matter how much effort Grid and Khan used . Yet Rector had developed using just a few words of advice (?) from Grid and made himself an advanced blacksmith . This talent might exceeded the talents of the blacksmiths Grid found in Reidan .
‘Don’t tell me . . . ’
Rector had the talent to grow into a blacksmith craftsman like Khan . In other words, he was a person in the rank of a genius? Grid was filled with anticipation and took out the Great Lord’s Sword . It could only be upgraded to the King’s Sword once he proceeded with the king’s exclusive quest . He wanted to upgrade it as soon as possible, but he was too busy .
‘Character Observation . ’

A blacksmith born in Rolling .
He is good at learning, has a strong commitment, and fast growth . The ability to instill his studies into others is also excellent . However, all these talents are limited to blacksmithing .
“Oh . ”
Grid couldn’t help exclaiming .
‘I’d like to dispatch him to Reidan . ’
Did he have the talent of a blacksmith craftsman? The evaluation wasn’t certain yet, but Rector was already a treasure of the Overgeared Kingdom . If he gave the one hundred blacksmiths he was raising in Reidan to Rector, he would be able to secure a large number of advanced blacksmiths faster .
‘In addition, Rector became an advanced blacksmith thanks to me . ’
He would certainly feel a high affinity with Grid .
‘I can trigger Blacksmith’s Affection . ’
[Blacksmith’s Affection]
If you have the maximum affinity with a NPC blacksmith, you can raise their skill level by 1~5 levels .
The blacksmith who received your teachings will be loyal to you for life and will share with you every time they learn new item production methods .
He had acquired the skill in the past when Bairan was attacked and he rescued Smith . This skill allowed Khan to become a blacksmith craftsman and Smith to become an advanced blacksmith .
“Rector, do you like me?”
“Huh . . . ?”
Rector felt burdened . It was because King Grid was observing him closely with a greedy expression . Now he was being asked if he liked King Grid? His arrogant imagination bloomed .
‘I-Is he talking about homosexuality?’
Rector turned pale and a stir occurred among the other blacksmiths . It was at that moment .
“I really like you!”
An old blacksmith suddenly stood up and shouted . It was Bairan’s blacksmith, Smith . He taught Grid how to make the jaffa arrows and became an advanced blacksmith thanks to Grid .
‘The **** old man . ’
Why had the atmosphere become like this? The confused Grid realized it the moment he saw Smith . He almost got misunderstood as a **** person . Grid ignored Smith and rose from the throne . He approached the trembling Rector and laid a hand on his head .
“Heok . ”
Rector took a deep breath . He was worried that the sexual harassment had started . But the other blacksmiths realized they had misunderstood . They couldn’t see any **** from the appearance of Grid who put his hand on Rector’s head . Rather, Grid had a holy appearance . As sunshine shone through the window, a legendary blacksmith put his hand on the head of a blacksmith . It was like a pope sprinkling holy water on his followers . From the standpoint of the blacksmiths who instinctively admired the legendary blacksmith, the present scene was divine .
“Rector . ”
“Yes . . . Yes, Your Highness . ”
Once the Holy Light Crown, Great Lord’s Sword, and his high dignity stat was combined, Grid released a force that overwhelmed the crowd . The blacksmiths gulped as they sensed the atmosphere .
“I will bestow affection on you . ”
Paaaat!
A golden glow emerged from Grid’s large hand that was placed on Rector’s head . It was brighter and warmer than the sun .
“Ahh . . . ”
Rector shook as he was wrapped in light . He couldn’t express it exactly, but he instinctively felt that he had received a great blessing . The same was true for those watching the scene . All the blacksmiths trembled at the sight . It was the power of Blacksmith’s Affection .
The blacksmiths gathered in this place noticed that Grid had given Rector a great blessing . They were at a loss for words .
[Due to the effect of the Blacksmith’s Affection skill, Rector’s blacksmithing skill level has risen by 5!]
Grid was filled with joy when he saw the notification window . It was the day when Grid was deified by the blacksmiths .
‘If you receive Grid’s blessing, your blacksmithing skills will greatly increase . ’
This fact spread throughout the whole continent as well as the Overgeared Kingdom . All the blacksmiths on the continent were more respectful towards Grid and dreamt of meeting him . Now when people thought of a legendary blacksmith, it was more likely they would name Grid than Pagma .

[Insane Dragon Iron]
A mineral that naturally occurs in the nest of the insane dragon Nevartan .
It has been influenced by Nevartan’s madness for countless years and gained the chaotic ability ‘Proliferation . ’
It doubles every 10 days .
This absurd nature makes it very difficult to control . The hardness is comparable to black iron, but the smelting difficulty is several times higher .
Weight: 5
[Insane Dragon Stone]
A mineral that naturally occurs in the nest of the insane dragon Nevartan .
It has been influenced by Nevartan’s madness for countless years and gained the chaotic ability ‘Suppression . ’
The hardness is very low, but when mixed with other minerals, it has the function of eliminating the characteristic of those minerals .
Weight: 1
[Insane Dragon Bead]
A mineral that naturally occurs in the nest of the insane dragon Nevartan .
It has been influenced by Nevartan’s madness for countless years and gained the chaotic ability ‘Rampage . ’
When mixed with other minerals, it multiplies the mineral’s characteristic .
If a human touches this mineral, they would lose their sense of reason and can’t smelt it . Use with caution .
Weight: 300
There was a smithy dedicated to Grid inside Reinhardt Palace . It was natural that a smithy was built for Grid once he was a king . Grid brought the advanced blacksmiths there and took out the three types of insane dragon materials . First, it was the insane dragon bead . It was a circular green mineral . The dense mineral was the size of a soccer ball . However, the weight was considerable .
“Khan, can you touch this mineral once?”
It was a dangerous mineral that caused the ‘rampage’ stage . Grid didn’t have any problems touching it because he was resistant, but there would be a big problem if the advanced blacksmiths touched the insane dragon bead . However, Khan was a blacksmith craftsman .
Grid was full of expectations . He thought that a blacksmith craftsman might be able to overcome the mineral’s curse . The result . . .
“Well, it is pretty heavy . It will take a considerable amount of time and skill if you want to smelt this . ”
As Grid expected, Khan wasn’t cursed by the insane dragon bead . Grid smiled at the sight .
‘It’s reassuring . ’
Khan was Grid’s first friend . Grid always relied on him . Grid once again felt a great liking for Khan and explained to the blacksmiths .
“These three minerals were obtained from the nest of the insane dragon Nevartan . ”
“ . . . !”
The blacksmiths were agitated . Dragon lair . It was natural to be surprised that the minerals were obtained from a dragon lair . Grid ignored them and continued the explanation .
“The insane dragon iron infinitely multiples . It’s the same when it’s a mineral or used as a material for a tool . ”
“Huh . . . ?”
The blacksmiths were surprised . A mineral that multiplied infinitely? Then wasn’t it a dream mineral?
Grid grinned .
“Let’s just say it is my subordinate’s great achievement . In any case, this proliferation isn’t always an advantage . Tools made using the insane dragon iron can’t be used because the weight keeps increasing . That’s why this insane dragon stone is needed . ”
Grid’s explanation continued . After describing the minerals in detail to the blacksmiths at the site, he asked them to make the Grid set using these minerals in the future .
“From today on, you will do special training until you can make the Grid set . It might take a few days or weeks . ”
“We will work hard to follow your instructions!”
“There is no greater glory than being taught directly by Your Majesty! I will learn, even if it takes a few months or a few years!”
“Okay . ”
From this day onwards, the sound of hammering in Reinhardt’s smithy didn’t stop . The blacksmiths gathered under Grid devoted themselves to learning without losing their enthusiasm until they mastered the Grid set . In the process, the blacksmiths built up a great liking for Grid . The king himself gave them great instructions . It was natural to feel favorable towards him .
A fortnight later .
“Blacksmith’s Affection . ”
All 22 advanced blacksmiths were blessed by Grid, except for Khan, Smith, and Rector, who had already received it . They grew significantly and mastered how to make the Grid set .
“All of you will soon be the power of the Overgeared Kingdom . Don’t forget this fact and do your best in your role . “
“As you command!”
As a kingdom built by a blacksmith, the blacksmiths of the Overgeared Kingdom were becoming the best on the West Continent . Grid and his blacksmiths wouldn’t stop until all the residents became overgeared .
‘Of course, I can’t be left behind in the process . ’
Grid’s survivability had increased exponentially after obtaining the First King title . Combined with the infinite stiffness of the God Hands and Mjolnir, Grid could function as a perfect tanker . His ability was a damage dealer was relatively weaker . Grid was determined to increase his damage .
‘I don’t have enough attack power unless God’s Command gives me a good boost . . . ’
It was tiring to rely on luck to activate God’s Command .
‘I will create a weapon for myself . ’
Grid decided and pulled out Belial’s bones and leather . These were the only materials left after making items to give to his meritorious retainers .
“This as well . ”
Grid smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the seven insane dragon beads he obtained from the nest .
‘It multiples the unique characteristic of the mineral?’
Was if the demon energy in Belial’s bones and leather became twice as strong?
“Kukukuk . . . The concept this time is a magic sword . ”
It would also be nice to make a new crown to fit the dark ambience of his new weapon . Now that Grid could wear both a crown and a helmet, the performance of the crown was also important .
‘I’ll show a stronger demon-like force than the great demons . ’
Everyone couldn’t help looking up to the Overgeared King .
