Overgeared Chapter 702:
Chapter 702
Do good work at least 50 times a month . This was the minimum condition for maintaining the Saintess class . If a Saintess didn’t do any good works, she would be deprived of her qualification and she couldn’t be a Saintess again . In other words, Ruby had been doing good deeds every day for the several years that she had been a Saintess .
Angel with lost wings, Rebecca’s incarnation, etc . The large number of people that Ruby helped praised her with various names . Minstrels sang songs about her .
Grid might be the most famous player, but Ruby was the most beloved player . The words about the siblings delivered to the people were manipulated by Orator Huroi’s cry . There were Overgeared members spreading it everywhere .
“Saintess, Saintess Ruby! Please try this . The bread is well-baked today . ”
"Saintess, will you accept this bracelet? I found it at the market in Winston and I bought it because I thought it would look good on you . Please accept it . ”
"This is a coat made with the leather of wild boar . The weather is getting colder recently, so it would be nice to wear this . Don’t get a cold . I’ll be sad . ”
“Saintess!”
“Saintess Ruby!”
[You have received 10 quality rye bread from Reinhardt’s baker, Jackson . ]
[You have received a low grade emerald bracelet from Reinhardt’s merchant, Ale . ]
[You have received a wild boar leather coat from Reinhardt’s hunter, Revalo . ]
[Reinhardt . . . ]

. . .
This was a common sight every time Saintess Ruby appeared on the street . People who found her would come running over with gifts . Ruby originally rejected, but the persistent thanks of the people was big enough to surpass imagination . They felt frustration and sometimes depression when Ruby refused the gift, giving her no choice but to accept . As the people’s love and respect for Ruby grew, so did the amount and quality of the gifts that she received .
The average value of Ruby’s daily gifts was now around 80 gold . 80 gold! Converted to Korean won, it was worth 100,000 won . Thanks to the good work that she did over the years, Ruby could now make 100,000 won a day just from logging in . It was why she refused pocket money from her brother a few months ago .
Ruby joined the ranks of people making money from the game . Her surroundings started to tempt her . Why did she need to go to university when she could making money playing games like her brother? Many people were talking like this .
But Ruby’s commitment to going to university didn’t break . She couldn’t believe in the uneasy future of Satisfy . Like all the youth of South Korea, Ruby had dedicated her elementary and middle school years to enter a good university . She didn’t want her efforts to be wasted and she wanted to see for herself the values of a good university .
However, her goal of getting a job after graduating from university was becoming faint . She knew how desperately she was needed in the Overgeared Kingdom .
‘Perhaps . . . Once I go to university, I will have more time to concentrate on the game . ’
She didn’t dislike it . Rather, it was good . She was happy to be able to help people and above all, she wanted to contribute to her brother’s work . Even if she didn’t like the game, she would’ve concentrated on it for her brother . It was natural . Just a few years ago, Ruby was worried about money every time she bought school supplies . She grew up in a house that wasn’t economically stable, so even buying snacks on the street was a luxury . From her point of view, her recent affluent life was appreciated .
‘This is all thanks to Oppa . ’
A warm smile appeared on Ruby’s face as he thought of Grid . The worry that appeared every time she thought of Grid in the past had changed to relief .
‘Mother and Father are laughing every day . Thanks to Oppa, my family is full of happiness . ’
She felt very grateful and proud of her brother . Ruby would do anything for her brother . And Lauel knew this about her .
"Ruby, please encourage people to visit the Hall of Fame once every three days . Tell them to pray once every three days to the stone statue of Grid . ”
It was enough to give orders to the soldiers . However, the ordinary people were different . If the kingdom forced the people to do this, they could lose public sentiment . That’s why Lauel took advantage of Ruby .
“Please . ”
“ . . . I understand . ”
After the Behen Archipelago was cleansed, Sticks dismantled the seals on most of the entrances to it . Now it was relatively easy to move from Reinhardt to the Behen Archipelago . But it was only ‘relatively easy . ’ In particular, the Hall of Fame was located on the last island of the Behen Archipelago .
It took at least five hours to get to the Hall of Fame from Reinhardt . It meant that the people of Reinhardt had to waste five hours every three days . Ruby had this part in mind . But she couldn’t refuse when she thought of her brother .
'Instead, I will treat them better . Let’s try a bit more, Sehee . ’
The intensity of the good deeds Ruby was doing increased over time . Ruby was also in danger . But Ruby was prepared to endure it . Ruby’s red lips tightened with determination . Her eyes were lovely as she grasped both hands together tightly . Lauel couldn’t help smiling at the sight before coughing .
"There is no need to worry about the people . This worship will be a good thing for them . Won’t their stamina go up if they regularly walk for five hours?”
“Bah . . . I don’t trust you . ”
"Yes, please don’t trust me . I don’t want to be a sinner who disappoints you . ”
“ . . . ”
Lauel was confident that his comments were perfect . He didn’t doubt that the goddess’ heart was romantic enough to be captured . But Ruby didn’t listen to Lauel’s words . Lauel was also a solo person since he was born .

[Visit Grid’s Stone Statue]
Difficulty: Repeated quest in the Overgeared Kingdom .
Once every three days, go to the Hall of Fame and worship at Grid’s stone statue .
Quest Reward: A Grid mass production item for every 20th consecutive visit .
“ . . . ”
It was the contents of a new quest that players of the Overgeared received . The players thought it was absurd .
"I went to see the Hall of Fame the other day and the buff from Grid’s stone statue is garbage . . . ”
“It has no effect on combat classes like ours . ”
"How many classes are there . . . ”
"Wow, isn’t Grid really smart? He made a new quest to fulfil his own self-interest . ”
"It is more vulgar than smart . ”
“Ah, I’m angry . We have to do this quest to obtain Grid’s set . ”
“Che, whatever . It takes a few hours to get to the Hall of Fame . ”
"Administrator Rabbit says he will sell movement scrolls to the Behen Archipelago . . . ”
“Wow? Isn’t this a good business? The servant is like the king . They met each other very well . ”
Grumble .
The Overgeared players were full of complaints about the new quest . But what could they do? They had moved to the Overgeared Kingdom in the first place to get the Grid set . They couldn’t refuse the quest that would give them one of Grid’s set items every two months .
"It’s really dirty . Once I collect all of Grid’s set, I will immediately go to the empire . ”
"I'm going to Valhalla . "
There were many people who thought like this . For most players, the Overgeared Kingdom was just a stepping stone to another kingdom . Lauel didn’t condemn this .
"Let’s increase the types of mass produced Grid set items . ”
The current mass produced Grid set consisted of weapons, armor, helmet, gloves, and boots . There were only five parts so it was hard to keep players for a long time .
“Didn’t you learn the tailoring skill? Add a cloak and underwear to the set . Preferably socks as well . ”
“ . . . I can’t . ”
The set effect of the mass produced Grid set was concluded with five parts . It was originally designed like this . If he added the cloak and underwear, there would be no set effect added . Lauel smiled wickedly at Grid .
"Even if there is no set effect, can’t you fool them with the same name? Put the underwear and cloak as a quest reward first, so that players will slow down in collecting the Grid set . ”
“ . . . Don’t you have a conscience?”
"Aren’t I thinking about the players? Aren’t you the only player in the world who can produce underwear with options? Where will people go to get good underwear? They will be happy . ”
“ . . . ”
Yes, it at least increased defense by one point . Grid was convinced and threw the pile of underwear he made at Lauel .
"I will keep sending them every time I make new underwear . ”
"It’s a good decision, Your Majesty . ”
" . . . I should also make socks . ”
If Grid had a conscience, he would think that ‘I should make a good cloak . ’ It wasn’t difficult to produce a quality cloak because Grid intended to mass produce Lantier’s Cloak for the evil eyes . Unfortunately, Grid had no conscience . His mind was already full of a method to make cheap socks .
‘No, I can’t do this in the long run . '
Grid shook his head .
‘If I want to tie up the player’s feet a bit longer, I have to make a good cloak . In addition, learn how to make socks . ’
Grid was at least better than Lauel . As a result, the Overgeared Kingdom was running well . The one problem was what the empire would do about Lubana’s rebellion .
***
"You missed the descendant of the Undefeated King?”
The imperial capital, Titan . The emperor’s voice resonated in the imperial palace, one of the most magnificent and beautiful palaces on the continent .
“Useless . . . ! Does it make sense to miss the rebel army?”
Emperor Juander was furious .
His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Sword Duke Limit .
“The Red Knights these days are really trivial! This wasn’t the case when Piaro was here!"
“ . . . ”
Juander was a powerful person who could claim to be master of the continent . He wasn’t stupid . He knew that the present day Red Knights were under the influence of Empress Marie and felt wary towards them . There were a number of cases where they were constrained and weakened .
“I will hold the commander of the army, 1st Knight Mercedes and 2nd Knight Lucas responsible! They will be on probation for three months!”
“Y-Your Majesty . . . !”
The bowing Sword Duke Limit cried out with surprise . Mercedes and Lucas were the backbone of the Red Knights . It would be a severe blow to the operations of the Red Knights if they were gone for three months . Juander also knew this . Juander spoke before Limit could ask him to reconsider .
"Don't worry . Kyle will take their place for three months . ”
‘Kyle . . . !’
Kyle was one of the five pillars of the empire . He was the youngest of the five pillars and his ability wasn’t perfect right now, but he had great potential . Therefore, he received a lot of favor from Juander . Limit immediately recognized the seriousness of the situation .
‘Kyle has a high virtue, but he’s actually a snake skilled in propaganda and manipulation . ’
The Red Knights were tired from years of continuous warfare . The reason why they could fight without a break was because they were eager to jump forward . No matter how hard they tried, they weren’t acknowledged like the Red Knights of the previous generation .
In the meantime, several Red Knights were killed in the former Eternal Kingdom and the 6th Knight Reidorn had recently gone missing . All sorts of rumors spread and the reputation of the Red Knights plummeted . Anxiety dominated them . If their spiritual pillars, Mercedes and Lucas, disappeared and that snake-like Kyle filled the vacancy . . .
‘Kyle will rule or break the Red Knights . This is His Majesty’s motive . ’
This was a chance to concentrate the power distributed by the empress back to Juander, as well as increase the influence of Kyle, who was relatively weak in the five pillars . It was the worst situation for Sword Duke Limit, who belonged to the empress’ faction . But he couldn’t veto it . The leader of the rebel forces . The Red Knights missed the descendant of the Undefeated King, who was the greatest threat to the empire in history .
On the other hand, there was a man watching the conversation between the emperor and the Sword Duke in the form of a quest format . It was the first ranked necromancer and Agnus’ closest subordinate, Veradin .
‘The quest content will change depending on how Limit deals with this . ’
Based on circumstances, Kyle was likely to aim the Red Knights at Valhalla . The emperor couldn’t forgive Ares, who dared to take in the descendant of the Undefeated King . What would Limit’s choice be at this time? Would he obediently watch as Kyle destroyed Valhalla and built up publicity?
‘Maybe Agnus and Ares might end up holding hands . ’
