Overgeared Chapter 261:
Chapter 261
Piaro was a legendary farmer? How absurd . No, this was almost the level of paranoia . It was a development that wouldn’t be found even in third-rate web novels all over the world .
‘Piaro dreamed of being a sword saint, so why would he be a farmer?’
The reason that Piaro increased the chances of a good harvest was…
‘He probably learned a technique while farming as a hobby . ’
It was a reasonable guess . Piaro was a very versatile person, so it wasn’t impossible .
‘I just had an absurd delusion . ’
He was afraid that Jude was laughing at him . Grid smiled before regaining his calm . Then he looked at Piaro and Asmophel . They needed time alone .
“Let’s leave here . ”
Grid said and the Overgeared members followed him . Damian was with them . Piaro and Asmophel started to have a long conversation once they were left alone .
On this day, both of them vowed . Duke Grid who relieved their misunderstanding and helped them see the true object of their revenge . They pledged eternal loyalty to the one who saved them from **** .

The road to the castle . The stunning landscape of the significantly developed Reidan captured Grid’s attention .
‘It’s definitely more than the old Reidan now . ’
But it was far less than Winston . The size was more than twice the sum of those two cities, but the overall facilities were less . The problem was that the population was small from the beginning . The best administrator, Rabbit, was active, but the speed of development was slow because there was no manpower .
“Lauel, are there plans to deal with the population crisis?”
“As you did before, we plan to secure and migrate the minorities that are being persecuted everywhere in the empire . ”
Just like the case with the Ul Clan . But there was a clear limit to this method . The Overgeared members would suffer too much . In addition, it was unlikely that the empire would keep allowing it .
“Is there a natural way to increase the population?”
“That…”
Grid didn’t know it yet, but Reidan became famous thanks to the invasion of the seven guilds . Many people were showing interest in Reidan . Lauel was sure that at this moment, many users would be trying to move to Reidan . But the problem was that the barrier of entry was too high . It was unknown how many of them would reach Reidan .
“You shouldn’t think too hastily . First, complete the mine development and connect the roads . Then the deployment of troops will be easier and the number of monsters will gradually decrease… We can only wait until then . ”
“What is the speed of progress for the mine development?”
“There aren’t enough skilled workers . In particular, securing miners is difficult . It seems like it will take more time than planned . ”
“Miners…”
It would be ideal if Minor acted as a miner, but the search for pavranium came first . Right now, it was too early to stick Minor in the mines .
‘I shouldn’t worry too much . By the way, why hasn’t there been news from Minor?’
Minor was on a mission to find all the labyrinths in the west . Grid was worried that he had run across monsters and was in a crisis . No, that clever boy wouldn’t be caught so easily .
‘I shouldn’t worry . ’
Grid changed topics . “Then Lauel, do other guilds already have a knights division?”
“Knights division? I don’t think there would be a lot? If the guild creates a specific organization and call it a knights division, then it will become a knights division . Well, it’s easy to mass produce . ”
It seemed he didn’t know there was a separate system called a knights division .
‘Then I am the first master of a true knights division?’
It was probably the case . It wasn’t easy to obtain named NPCs .
‘The first knights division…’
In Satisfy, the meaning of ‘first’ was very big . It was an achievement that would often give special benefits .
‘What benefits will I receive?’
Grid’s heart started to become restless again . But this wasn’t a problem . In order to prevent the suffering and frustration that he felt in the past, he always maintained the proper tension .
“I’m glad you have returned safely . ”
“Duke Grid! Welcome!”
The entrance of the castle . Grid was greeted by Administrator Rabbit and Jude, who had been informed of his arrival in advance . Grid observed them with the Great Lord’s Sword and smiled .
‘They have also developed . ’
Rabbit had gained a lot of intelligence and political power, while Jude had gained a lot of strength and stamina . It showed how faithfully they had taken on their roles .
“You went through many hardships while I was gone . ”
Grid patted their shoulders . Administrator Rabbit bowed humbly, while the pleased Jude snorted like a bull . They accompanied Grid into the castle . The 1,000 nervous soldiers saluted in unison .
“Kingdom’s hero! Reidan’s sun! We greet the great Duke Grid!”
“Attention!”
The shouts shook the castle . Grid observed them as he walked past .
‘They aren’t inferior when compared with the empire’s soldiers . ’
It was a tremendous growth rate . It was evidence that Jude’s ignorant training method was having a great effect . It was the power of the ‘I have no Idea (SS)’ skill . He had no thoughts . Jude’s ability to raise the soldiers made Grid smile .
The eyes of a man closely watching him shone . It was Damian .
‘This is the time!’
Since Grid arrived in Reidan . Damian had been waiting for the right timing to say hello and he finally grabbed the chance . Grid seemed to be in a good mood right now!
“Grid! It has been a long time!”
Damian went forward and greeted him . He was nervous, but tried not to show it to Grid . He went down on one knee and bowed .
Grid asked, “Who are you?”
“Heok . ” It was an unexpected response . “Y-You don’t remember me?”
Damian felt like crying . Grid looked at the disappointed person in front of him . From Grid’s standpoint, Damian was nothing more than an extra in the pope raid . It was also a long time ago .
Damian reminded himself of this and formally introduced himself . “I am Damian, a paladin of the Rebecca Church and the Goddess’ Agent . Around one year and two months ago in Satisfy time, I buffed Grid while you raided Pope Drevigo . ”
“Ah . ”
Now Grid remembered Damian . The otaku paladin . He hadn’t known it at the time, but looking back now, Damian’s buffing ability was remarkable .
“I remember . Then why are you here?”
Did he perhaps want to join the Overgeared Guild? Grid was filled with big expectations when Damian suddenly cried out .
“Please save Isabel-chan!”
“Isabel?”
Who was that again?
‘Ah, I remember . ’ One of Rebecca’s Daughters . She had blonde hair and used an exceptional spear . ‘Did something happen to her?’
No, why was this person asking for help from Grid?
‘Ah right . ’
A chill went down Grid’s spine . He remembered what he did .
‘Lifael’s Spear . ’
It was a special weapon for Rebecca’s Daughters that Pagma had sealed . He had released the seal . Then he neglected to return .
‘Dammit . ’
Isabel was dying because of him . Grid became uncomfortable as he identified the situation . He felt guilty about putting someone’s life at risk, and he was also worried that Damian would claim compensation for the damages .
‘I have no money . ’
Damian begged the nervous Grid again . “I will give you all my assets! So please… Please save Isabel-chan!”
“Eh?”
Grid through Damian would claim compensation for damages, but he was actually rewarding Grid? And it was money?
‘A pushover?’
At that time, Lauel sent a whisper to Grid .
–Damian is a pope candidate . How about helping him? If he becomes a pope, Reidan will be able to form a friendship with the mighty forces of the Rebecca Church . The profit from it can’t be converted into money .
‘Pope candidate…’
In fact, Grid intended to help Damian from the beginning . More than anything else, he felt sorry towards Isabel . In addition…
‘Lifael’s Spear . ’
A divine item . It was a great opportunity to observe it in detail .
‘Finally . ’
It would be possible to create divine items . A weapon above Failure . No, maybe an item that exceeded Pagma’s works would be born . A smile appeared on Grid’s face .
“How much?”
“Huh?”
Damian panicked at Grid’s sudden question . Grid explained to the bewildered Damian . “How much will you give me in return for sealing Lifael’s Spear? How much?”
Grid had to take everything he could . This wasn’t a shameless greed . It was foolish to miss the opportunity to obtain something, unless he was a pushover .
‘I have already been a pushover in the past . ’
Damian said carefully, “I have currently prepared 530,000 gold…”
It was the amount he prepared as a deposit .
“Hrmm . ”
How much was that in Korean money?
‘636 million won…’
Grid calculated it in his head . Damian felt anxious when Grid showed no reaction and hurriedly said .
“I-If I dispose of my mansion, I can get an additional 1 . 2 million gold!”
“Mansion?”
“Yes! It is a small mansion where I live in Tokyo, Japan!”
‘He will sell his house in reality just for an NPC?’
In the past, Grid would’ve laughed at Damian . But not anymore . Irene, Khan, Piaro . Grid experienced the love of NPCs so he felt more affinity towards Damian .
‘He isn’t a bad person . ’
He was a pushover . That wasn’t all . Damian was a pope candidate . The possibility that Damian could become a pope should be kept in mind .
‘I have to think about future relationship rather than be greedy for money now . ’
If he did this favor for Damian, it would be a great help to Grid in the future .
“I will accept just 530,000 gold . ”
“Heok?”
Damian was well aware of what a greedy person Grid was . He was completely determined to save Isabel-chan and had been expecting to spend a huge amount of money . He was even prepared to sell his organs if he had to . But it was a misunderstanding . Grid wasn’t that evil . Rather, he was a generous person .
“Thank you! I really appreciate it!”
Grid was willing to help him! Damian was so thrilled that he started crying . Grid, who was willing to spare Isabel-chan from suffering pain, looked like an angel to Damian in this moment . On the other hand, Grid was excited .
‘This is an opportunity to observe a divine weapon . ’
He felt like he found a bundle of money on the way to picking up his lottery winnings .
Piaro was a legendary farmer? How absurd . No, this was almost the level of paranoia . It was a development that wouldn’t be found even in third-rate web novels all over the world .
‘Piaro dreamed of being a sword saint, so why would he be a farmer?’
The reason that Piaro increased the chances of a good harvest was…
