Overgeared Chapter 311:
Chapter 311
‘Naive… No, a fool . Learn how to be more suspicious and vigilant .
Braham had no intention of taking Grids body from the beginning . He needed to be resurrected in his own body, not somebody elses .
The reason why he attempted to take Grids body was to make an alarm ring with Grid . It might seem threatening, but it was intended to do a favor for Grid .
Why?
Hes a person who makes me nervous, but hes also the benefactor who achieved my 300 year old wish .
It was his way of expressing his appreciation . Grid didnt know it .
[Well, we might be enemies when next we meet . ]
Brahams soul started moving . His destination was the Sword Grave . It was where Brahams 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 didnt 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 didnt like it .
Huh?
The agricultural section of Reidan was growing despite not having a big budget invested in it! He didnt 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 **** .
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 isnt about the quality of the hand plow . More wrist…
“Isnt the ground too fine? This isnt 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 cant be a farmer . My Piaro isnt a farmer .
He decided, but he couldnt bring himself to check Piaros details using the Great Lord’s Sword .
I should ask about the Amethyst Shield next time…
He didnt want to talk to Piaro while he was wearing a straw hat .
Trudge trudge .
Grids 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 Piaros 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 couldnt 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 didnt 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 . Dont run away . Thats 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 wasnt Irene or Khan . It wasnt 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 **** were very large . It was enough to be reminiscent of fruit .
“…
What did you find me for?
Grid stared at her **** as always . Laellas 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?
Laellas 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 couldnt 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 Reidans 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 Grids 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 .
Isnt this surprisingly powerful? Is he wearing items that amplify magic power?
A blacksmith didnt 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 .
Grids Magic Missile was remarkably powerful . Grid spoke to the stunned Laella .
“Increase the scarecrows magic resistance to the maximum .
The maximum was 5,000 . Even most boss monsters didnt have this much magic resistance . Magic Missile would be completely ineffective against it .
There will be no damage .
Grid just urged Laella .
“Hurry .
‘Its a pointless experiment .
Laella thought that Grid was so excited about magic that rational judgment was impossible . She imagined Grids look of disappointment as she set the scarecrows magic resistance to 5,000 . Then after a while .
[You have dealt 2,894 damage to the target . ]
W-What…?
Laella was astonished . Grids Magic Missile ignored 100% of the targets magic resistance . In short, it was a scam . Laella hiccuped with surprise, while Grid made a satisfied expression .
It isnt 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 Grids face . Then a guest came to see him . It was a completely unexpected guest .

Chapter 312
Following the Magic Missile test, Grid headed to Khans 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 .
Dont you look younger?
Grids face brightened after not seeing Khan for a long time . Khan looked much better than before . Khan chuckled .
“Interacting with young people, isnt it natural to become younger and healthier? This is all due to you . Im so happy that I could meet you at the end of my life and enjoy such blessings .
“I’m happy that youre happy .
Grid had known Khan since the days when he was invisible . Grids 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, youre still young and healthy, so you have a lot of time left . Dont 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 . Dont 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 . ”
Thats right . It was useless to have excellent talent if the environment didnt 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 Grids 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 .
“Im looking forward to it .
Hah, truly . You want this old man to overdo it .
“You wont grow old . You will still be in full swing even when youre 70 . ”
So I will be in a cage?
Oh, thats 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 didnt 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 Grids arms with a large smile . As always, she freely expressed her affection towards Grid . Irenes love was delightful and precious for Grid, who had little experience with being loved by someone .
Im glad you have returned safely . ”
Irene buried her face in Grids 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 Irenes 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, Lauels shoulders shook as he laughed .
You mustve been my only friend and rival in a past life, Angel Sylvanus .
“…
Lauels 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 Irenes belly .
In the next two months, I can meet Gold .
Huhut, thats right . I wish that day will come quickly .
…Gold? Lauels face was disturbed as he regained his reason . “Grid, are you planning to call your child Gold?
Surely he wouldnt name his child Gold? It was something that shouldnt 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? Im not crazy enough to call my child Gold? Its just a temporary name .
R-Really?
He was glad . Grids 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 its a joke .
Lauel wanted to believe that . But Grids proud expression and Irenes 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 Grids dexterity .
***
Grids office . Grid called Piaro and asked him .
“What do you know about the 3rd Prince of the Saharan Empire?
“Hes the third son of the deceased Empress Aria and has an introverted personality, unlike his siblings . I only saw him a few times and dont know any details . Why are you suddenly asking about him?
This .
Grid pulled the Amethyst Shield out of his inventory . Piaros 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 isnt 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 dont 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 cant ignore it completely… Well, Ill look at the situation and act accordingly .
In the first place, it wasnt urgent . Grid had separate priorities . At that time, Lauel sent a whisper to Grid .
–A guest has come .
Guest?
The guest wouldnt 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 hadnt 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 didnt 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 couldnt find a satisfactory weapon . Despite watching the item trading sites and in-game auction site for 24 hours a day, a suitable weapon didnt 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 didnt 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 doesnt have a big grudge towards me .
“Then why was there a feud?
It was due to my one-sided competition, and the Tzedakah Guild didnt 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 didnt 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 . Grids 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 .
Grids 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 Grids face as he contemplated the elixir in front of him .
