Overgeared Chapter 856:
Chapter 856
Legendary items weren’t an area of production—actually, this common sense fact had already been destroyed since last year . Players started to produce legendary items that were known to drop only from boss monsters . It was a natural phenomenon that occurred as players’ production skill levels developed while their class quest difficulties increased .
“I think you already know but let me formally introduce myself . My name is Elizabeth . My class is an accessories maker and I am at the craftsman level . I can make all types of accessories, and I was fortunate enough to make a legendary rated ring and necklace,” Elizabeth spoke candidly .
Managing to make a legendary item was like a pie falling from the sky . She couldn’t control the rating, so she added the word ‘fortunate . ’ This wasn’t humility . It was a warning that even if Grid commissioned her to make an accessory, she couldn’t guarantee a legendary rating . If Grid were an ordinary player who didn’t understand the production system properly, he would’ve been disappointed since he believed the exaggerated rumor of the ‘Princess of Jewelry . ’
“I am Overgeared King Grid . ”
However, Grid had made more items than anyone else and had the best understanding of the production system . He knew that the rumors of the ‘Princess of Jewelry’ were exaggerated and wasn’t disappointed at all . The anticipation in his gaze remained constant from the beginning .
“That . . . ” Elizabeth’s face reddened as Grid held out a hand for a handshake . An unknown feeling swept through her body when their hands met . She lost strength in her legs . It was the first time she had ever felt this way in her life . She pulled back her hand with a startled expression and hurriedly said, “T-Thank you . . . for saving me . Well, you saved Yura more than me . Anyway, it is a fact that you helped me . ”
Elizabeth had disliked Grid . She had felt jealous that he got good results easily thanks to his legendary blacksmith class and his innate luck . Additionally, she felt offended by his distasteful attitude . The fact that he was Yura’s lover was also a big factor of her dislike toward him .
Still, it was impossible to treat people rudely just because of personal feelings . It was true that Grid had helped her . So, Elizabeth appreciated it sincerely . It was awful to think that her uncle would’ve died by now if Grid hadn’t shown up . Grid cut straight to the chase, “If you really appreciate it, do me a favor . Would you mind omitting the commission process?”
In order to meet the Princess, there was a waiting list and they had to wait for their turn . Additionally, the Princess wouldn’t accept any commission in which the materials didn’t attract her attention . These were the conditions required for Elizabeth to accept a production request . It was simple but fastidious . To think they had to wait just to ask for a production request? Moreover, what materials attracted her interest?
“I understand . I will accept your request and make it the top priority . Only . . . ” Elizabeth needed to let Grid know . “I won’t be as efficient if I don’t find pleasure in the work process . The result of tedious work isn’t always as good . I hope that your request will interest me . ”
‘I just want to commission a ring . . . ’
That’s right . Grid just wanted rings . He currently had a total of four rings—his wedding ring, Doran’s Ring, the Ring of Absurdity, and Elfin Stone’s Ring . Among them, his wedding ring and Doran’s Ring were worn according to circumstances . The only rings he always wore were the Ring of Absurdity and Elfin Stone’s Ring . Eight fingers were almost always empty .
One bracelet could be worn on both wrists, and he wore the Guardian’s Bracelet and Neberius’ Bracelet . His necklace was the Guardian’s Necklace while his earrings were Dark Bus’ Earrings and the Black Quartz Earrings . Therefore, making eight rings was sufficient .
Yet she was asking for an interesting request?
‘What type of unusual accessory should I ask for? A piercing? A chain? Will such accessories add stats?’
Grid’s deep thoughts were unnecessary though . While he was feeling troubled, he brought out a jewels package .
“Huh . . . ? U-Uh?” Elizabeth’s eyes widened when she verified the contents of the package . She was speechless as she witnessed jewels she had never seen before .
[Belial’s Black Jewel (S)]
[-A beautiful jewel that can be processed into a material for accessories . The value of this gem that can never be obtained is at the same level as buying a city .
When making accessories, you can acquire options that increase intelligence or shadow resistance . Additionally, there is a possibility that a passive skill will be attached depending on the skills of the accessory maker .
However, it will be difficult to find someone who can handle this jewel, like picking a star from the sky . ]

When making accessories, there is a chance of acquiring items that increase intelligence or flame resistance . Additionally, there is a possibility that a passive skill will be attached depending on the skills of the accessory maker .
However, it will be difficult to find someone who can handle this jewel, like picking a star from the sky . ]
‘There are jewels that can add stats and resistance? It can even have a passive skill attached?’
Elizabeth had received countless production commissions, and among those who commissioned accessories from her, many were high rankers . Some of them had given her jewels which had dropped from bosses . Unlike regular jewels, the ones dropped from named bosses had a ‘low probability’ of increasing stats or resistance .
The jewels from Grid, however, gave stats and resistances, as well as passive skills . Elizabeth had never seen such jewels among the hundreds that she had worked on . As stated in the explanation, the value of these jewels was astronomical .
“H-Huge . . . ” The admiration in Elizabeth’s expression rose after hearing that Grid got the jewels from raiding Belial .
Grid was sighing . “I don’t know if my request will interest you . I just want ordinary rings . . . ”
“Rings?”
“Yes . Eight rings . ”
“What about a necklace? Bracelets? Do you need earrings?”
“ . . . ?” Grid was confused . He thought Elizabeth would be disappointed to hear his request, but she was so excited that she got close to his face . Her large black eyes shone like lanterns . It was as if she had a meal before her . “You are too close . . . ”
“ . . . ” Yura and Eat Spicy Jokbal looked uncomfortable for some reason .
Grid stepped away from Elizabeth and explained, “As you can see, I’m currently using necklaces, bracelets, and earrings . ”
Their effects were also excellent . The Guardians Bracelet and Necklace, which had defense and indomitable stat options, were unique accessories that gave an additional 100 defense when worn as a set . Meanwhile, Neberius’ Necklace increased strength by 30 and reduced magic casting time by 20%, the Black Quartz Earrings increased intelligence by 15%, and Dark Bus’ Earrings made it possible to use the Blackening skill .
Grid played the roles of damage dealer, tanker, and magician, so he couldn’t abandon any of them .
However, Elizabeth glanced at the options of Grid’s accessories using her ‘Artisan’s Eyes’ and thought differently . “You can stop wearing the jade bracelet and necklace . They look like they have an effect as a set, but aren’t they just unique rated accessories?”
“Yes . . . ”
Few items were as hard to find as accessories, especially accessory sets . A unique rated accessory set had a similar value to legendary rated ornaments . Grid responded like he couldn’t understand, causing Elizabeth to hit her chest with frustration . Still, Grid didn’t show any reaction to her agitation . Elizabeth shouted at the blank-looking Grid, “I can make much better bracelets and necklaces, even when considering the set effect! I don’t need luck! It is enough just using the jewel materials that you brought!”
However, there was a problem .
“But these large jewels might be hard for me to work with . . . ” Elizabeth had no confidence in working with S-grade jewels . A level higher than craftsman was required to work on them . In other words . . .
“You can make accessories better than my current ones using the B-grade jewels but not the S-grade jewels?”
The value of Belial’s jewels were several times greater than what Grid had expected .
“Yes . ” Elizabeth took out the B-grade jewels and confirmed it . “The rating will be epic, but the effects will be better than the necklace and bracelet set you are wearing now . ”
The number of jewels was enough . Grid had handed over 30 jewels to Elizabeth . There were 10 C-grade jewels, 10 B-grade jewels, and 10 S-grade jewels . Putting aside the 10 S-grade jewels, there was enough to make a necklace, bracelet, and eight rings .
‘This is a great opportunity . ’
Elizabeth was more excited than Grid . She felt joyous at being lucky enough to craft accessories using jewels which could only be obtained by raiding a great demon . As such, she revealed her inner feelings without knowing it . “It’s too bad . I could’ve tried different things if I had more jewels . ”
“I was told that people who want to ask for commissions have to wait in a line? Would you take multiple orders from one person?”
“Of course! If I can work on more jewels like this, then I will work for you for a lifetime!
“Lifetime . . . ”
“ . . . ”
Elizabeth’s passionate yells toward Grid seemed like she was courting him . Eat Spicy Jokbal and Yura’s troubled gazes worsened at the sight .
“There are dozens of people in my guild with 10 or 20 Belial jewels . . . ” Grid pulled out shocking words .
“ . . . Huh?” Elizabeth doubted her ears .
She had thought that Grid’s 30 jewels were all the jewels which Belial had dropped . It surprised her that there were still hundreds left . Elizabeth started shaking . She shook her head and seemed to decide something . “I will go to the Overgeared Kingdom . This is beyond the concept of a VVIP guest . Since you are the king, can you give me a small workshop? Would it be better for me to join the Overgeared Guild?”
“ . . . ”
“Oh, do I not meet the conditions to join?”
“H-How can that be?”
On this day . . .
“No, why do you kidnap someone everywhere you go? What the **** are you doing? Do you have a separate human trafficking skill? Do you have a legendary trafficker as a third class? Huh?”
“ . . . ”
Grid had a pleasant surprise for Lauel after returning with Elizabeth .
