Overgeared Chapter 317:
Chapter 317
“Sigh… It is hard, hard . ”
“It is too hard to fill the quota . Does it make sense that there are only 400 people working in these vast fields? Looking at the scale, there should be at least 10 times more workers . ”
“Dammit! If this is an agricultural city, increase the number of farmers!”
“They want to save money on the labor costs . I heard that Grid is quite cheap . ”
“He’s beyond the level of cheap . Cutting labor costs and kidnapping users to become farmers, is this something normal people would do?”
The 21 users caught by Piaro and forced to work . They complained about Grid every time they gathered . It was because they were convinced that Piaro, who kidnapped them and turned them into farmers, was doing it under Grid’s orders .
However, the reason they didn’t run away was due to the rewards of the hidden quest . Honestly, they were happy about getting a hidden quest and didn’t hold any animosity towards Grid . The reason they came to Reidan was because they wanted to join Overgeared, and they basically liked Grid .
But the work was too hard, so it was hard to survive unless they complained . It was inevitable that Grid would be frequently mentioned .
“Are they new?”
The grumbling users working in the fields focused on one place . From far away, Piaro was leading five people over .
“This time it’s a group of five . ”
“Tsk tsk, poor guys . ”
The average level of the 21 users was 270 . They had to be at least that level to cross the desert to Reidan . The group of five people would also be high level users . Wasn’t it too absurd that they were being dragged as dogs to become farmers? They felt a sense of compassion .
“Ah?”
“Eh?”
The users looking at the five newcomers sympathetically became confused . They were the master of the Giant Guild and the Five Captains!
“T-This is ridiculous!”
They were dealt a big blow in the golem invasion, but they were still very strong . The Giant Guild was one of the best guilds . In particular, the Five Captains were third advancement users and Chris was 3rd on the unified rankings, so they were a high sky for the users . But they weren’t even Piaro’s opponent?
‘That crazy farmer is bigger than we thought!’
The users were astonished, while Piaro introduced Chris’ group to them .
“They are new farmers . I hope you get along well with them in the future . ”
“Who is a farmer?”
“Damn bastard!”
Chris, the 3rd ranked user, leader of the Giant Guild and viscount of the Eternal Kingdom was being introduced as a new farmer! The captains trembled at Piaro’s absurd attitude .
But Chris wasn’t offended . The opponent was stronger than him . Despite being able to kill him, Chris was spared and given a hidden quest . He didn’t intend to make a fuss .
“Let’s get along well . ”
Chris greeted the senior farmers with respect . The Five Captains were forced to bow their heads .
“W-We will work hard . ”
On this day, Chris and the Five Captains joined the fun and exciting training .
A strange rumor started to circulate on the Internet . The master of the Giant Guild and the Five Captains became serfs of Grid . It was a rumor that couldn’t be believed . No one believed the rumor .
“What is this nonsense?”
Grid was more disbelieving than anyone else .
***
Grid had obtained 27 pavranium for helping with Braham’s resurrection . Originally, there were 28 pavranium . However, one of them became the Vessel of the Soul and entered Braham’s possession .
‘It is painful that I can’t get one, but…’
Fortunately, all 27 out of 27 pavranium had the blessing of the four gods . As the master of the pavranium, Grid received a 15% buff on his attack power, defense, recovery and magic power . As a legendary class exclusive item, the pavranium was truly a scam .
‘It was only because of Braham that I could receive the blessing of God Yatan, so let’s not think too much about giving him one pavranium . ’
Grid had become a very positive and generous person compared to the past . In fact, a little while ago, he had reduced Chris’ repair price by 2 gold .
‘2 gold is two ramyun . ’
He could imagine how much Chris appreciated it . Grid didn’t doubt that Chris would feel a great affection towards him . He thought about a future alliance with the Giant Guild, then wondered what he should do with the pavranium .
‘I can’t make Lifael’s Spear . ’
Lifael’s Spear was the strongest weapon in existence . It was an undeniable truth . Unfortunately, it was an inefficient weapon for Grid . The spear wasn’t influenced by Pagma’s Swordsmanship and he was poisoned by its divine power when he used Blackening .
‘It is enough to have Grid’s Greatsword, Failure, and Yakult as weapons . ’
Then would it be better to make armor?
Grid was equipped with the Holy Light armor, gloves and a crown that were made by Pagma, and they boasted an outstanding performance when worn as a set . He also efficiently swapped between Grid’s Boots and Braham’s Boots for the shoes .
On the other hand, he was lacking a shield . But Grid used a greatsword as a weapon, so there weren’t many opportunities to use a shield .
‘Is there anything special that isn’t a weapon or armor?’
Pavranium was a mineral with its own will . It considered Grid’s safety as the top priority and moved with its own judgment . It was far more efficient to give it freedom than to limit it to his body . What was the best type of item to utilize that freedom?
‘A symbol of freedom…’
“Snack . ”
“…It is a snack . Eh?”
Grid frowned . Snack? Who was the person who suddenly interfered with his deep thoughts by speaking nonsense? Grid shifted his gaze in that direction . The guy who had devoted himself to monster hunting since arriving in Reidan was now resting on the window sill .
“Give me a snack! Give it to me! Nyang!”
He had a very proud and arrogant attitude . It was almost a command .
“Have you lost your senses? No, in the first place, why are you after a snack? Don’t you eat monster or human souls?”
“That is food! Snacks are snacks, nyang!”
“What **** gave you the concept of snacks…?”
“Your wife! Nyang!”
“…”
Setting aside where he learnt the word ‘wife,’ he was talking about Irene .
‘I heard that Irene has a hobby of baking cake these days . ’
Irene was the daughter of an earl, so she never learned how to cook . Now after coming to Reidan, she wanted to learn how to cook and bake, so that she could give Grid a little joy . Thanks to her, the Overgeared members and the soldiers were able to enjoy sweet snacks . Noe seemed to have been added as well .
“Sigh, okay . Take a nap and don’t interfere with my work . ”
Grid decided to ignore Noe and started thinking again about what to make with the pavranium .
‘An item that can highlight the advantage of moving on its own…’
“Teddy bear . ”
“…A teddy bear is good… Ah, you . ”
Grid frowned . Teddy bear? Who was interfering this time? The incensed Grid turned towards the owner of the voice . It was Randy, who was in the appearance of a little girl .
“I received a teddy bear from Irene!”
Randy was pure and cute as she extended the bear . Grid nodded roughly towards the child .
“Okay . Go and play with the teddy bear . ”
“Yes!”
Randy smiled and went next to Noe to play with the bear . But her playing didn’t last long . Noe teased Randy by repeatedly batting at the teddy bear .
“…I’m going crazy . ”
Randy started crying while Noe laughed, interrupting Grid’s meditation time . So he kicked them out . Then he wondered again .
‘The item I should make out of pavranium…’
“Please make farming equipment . ”
“…The answer is farming equipment… Hah . ”
Grid’s face distorted like a demon . Farming equipment? This time, someone was pouring cold water on him! The owner of the voice was Piaro . Piaro was wearing dirt-stained clothing . Grid could no longer overlook it .
“Piaro, what is your job?”
“I am the leader of the Overgeared Knights Division, commander of Reidan, and a farmer . ”
“Isn’t there something strange in there?”
“No . ”
Grid couldn’t understand it at all .
“Why on earth do you keep clinging to being a farmer? Are you doing your duties as knight captain and commander of Reidan?”
“Yes . ”
Piaro answered without hesitation . He felt pride in his responsibilities .
“Then I’m glad . But what about your goal of becoming a sword saint? If you don’t have time due to your duties, isn’t it better to quit farming and practice your swordsmanship?”
[A legendary farmer has been born!]
The main character of the notification window that all users in Satisfy saw wasn’t Piaro . Grid was certain, but he couldn’t help feeling nervous . In this case, his uneasy feeling was proven correct .
“I realized that I am a farmer, not a sword saint . ”
“…”
Grid was no longer a fool . Piaro was faithful to his role as a farmer . It was rumored that the seven guilds’ invasion of Reidan was repelled by farmers . The users doing field work, and so on . All of these things attested to the fact that Piaro was the legendary farmer .
Grid just didn’t want to admit it .
Sword Saint Muller . Grid hoped that Piaro’s strength would be recognized as the strongest among the legends .
“…Is it because your talent isn’t enough to pursue the peak of swordsmanship? In the end, you gave up and became a farmer . ”
Grid couldn’t hide his anger as he tried to provoke Piaro .
“…”
Piaro knew the role that Grid wanted for him . He knew the sense of loss that Grid would be feeling . Piaro was determined to prove himself to Grid . He would prove that he was superior compared to when he was a great swordsman .
“Farming is the foundation of our lives and it is more valuable than anything else in the world . I just chose a more valuable path . ”
“It is possible for women to harvest the crops . You aren’t the only one who can do farming . ”
“However, I’m the only one who can master it . ”
“Why do you need to master farming? Ah, to create a good harvest? It is very minor . If you have power, you can occupy more territory . Then there would be more people and we can secure a large amount of food using it . It is much more profitable to develop the armed forces to aim for more land . ”
“Mastering farming isn’t merely raising crops . I can exert more power if I have an understanding of nature . I can confident that I am necessary for My Lord . ”
“Really? Then prove it . What type of power can a farmer exert?”
This was what Piaro wanted . He had been wanting this situation since he asked for farming equipment .
‘I must be acknowledged by My Lord . ’
He would let Grid know the greatness of a farmer . Piaro took out his hand plow and plow, while Grid armed himself with Failure and Grid’s Greatsword .
“I will return you to your original form . Your hands are meant to hold a sword, not dirt-stained farming equipment!”
At present, Piaro wasn’t sane . Grid had to return him to the right path . Grid put on the Slaughterer’s Eye Patch and used Blacksmith’s Rage to overpower Piaro . Piaro made a sad expression .
‘His talent is weak compared to Kraugel and Chris . ’
Grid made great strides after defeating Pagma’s Doppelganger, but his lord was fundamentally unskilled . It was unlikely that his growth had continued since then .
‘You might be poisoned with frustration after losing, but I believe that you can overcome this poison as usual . ’
Piaro would first relieve his burden by proving his value . Piaro judged and blocked the blue greatsword Grid was swinging, then counterattacked while avoiding a dark blue greatsword . In his head, Grid had already collapsed .
But what was Grid’s specialty? It was the power to overcome common sense and destroy predictions .
Chaaeng!
“…!”
As soon as the blue greatsword and hand plow collided, Piaro’s eyes widened .
“Sigh… It is hard, hard . ”
“It is too hard to fill the quota . Does it make sense that there are only 400 people working in these vast fields? Looking at the scale, there should be at least 10 times more workers . ”
