Overgeared

Chapter 138

Several months ago, Faker didn’t appreciate Grid when he first met him.

It was because Grid’s blacksmith ability and combat ability were excellent, but his mental immaturity meant he couldn’t exert all his abilities. To be honest, Faker never expressed it, but he thought Grid was ridiculous. He felt that Grid couldn’t take advantage of his class.

But now it was different. A long time had passed and Grid seemed different from the past.

‘If he keeps steadily growing like this, I can trust him with my back one day.’

As Faker was thinking, Grid showed the trap installation tools and poison combination machine to him.

“These are the items… I don’t know how to use them. There’s no manual.”

Faker was amazed as he looked at the items. “They’re good items. In particular, this poison combination machine is excellent. Where did you obtain it?”

“I killed an assassin called Shay who dropped it.”

“Shay…? A user?”

“Yes.”

Shay was the fifth ranked assassin user. He was a well established user, but it seemed he had been defeated by Grid and lost the item.

‘Shay is notorious for always going around with Kerb and Sniffer… Grid defeated the three of them alone? How strong is Grid now?’

It seemed like the degree of growth exceeded Faker’s expectations.

‘Jishuka and Vantner guessed that Grid was equal to or better than Pon and Regas…’

He thought it was a joke, but maybe it was real? Faker was an aggressive person, like the other members of the Tzedakah Guild. He felt the urge to compete against Grid. But now wasn’t the time.

“Wouldn’t it be better to learn how to use them next time? Look at the time. Your wedding is soon.”

“Ah, already?”

Grid verified the time and exited the smithy. This wasn’t anyone else’s wedding. He couldn’t be late to his own wedding. The Tzedakah Guild and Khan followed. Khan looked depressed.

“Grid… Grid has become the husband of the lady…”

Khan lost his sick wife then his son. After being alone, he fell into drinking. Due to the trickery of the Mero Company, he had been on the verge of losing the smithy that had been in his family for generations.

But one day, Grid suddenly appeared and saved him. He was able to escape from the pain of his life and rebuild the smithy. Grid was his savior. He was a similar age to Khan’s dead son and Khan truly treasured him.

Now that precious person was leaving for a high place that Khan couldn’t reach. Of course, he was happy to see Grid doing well. However, he couldn’t hide his sad feelings. He barely swallowed back his tears as he spoke to Grid.

“Grid, you might be a commoner marrying into a family of nobles, but don’t shrink back and live well. I am always cheering for you.”

Grid grinned at Khan’s encouragement. “I’m Pagma’s Descendant. Why should I shrink back from nobles? And don’t talk like we are breaking up. I will still go to the smithy like before, even if I marry Irene. Have you forgotten? I am your successor.”

“Grid…!”

It must be annoying to help a poor and sick old man, but Grid didn’t show it at all. Khan was thrilled and tears ended up spilling down. Grid handed him a handkerchief and said, “Your son asked me to do something. He asked me to take care of his father.”

It wasn’t a lie. In the past, Grid had gone to Khan’s family cemetery with Khan and encountered ghosts while Khan was sleeping. Among the ghosts, Khan’s ancestor gave him the clue to obtain Pagma’s Swordsmanship, and Khan’s son asked Grid to take care of his father.

A son who worried about his father even after death! Grid liked Khan and was touched by his son’s devotion, so he tried to do well by Khan. Of course, it wasn’t an unconditional favor. To be honest, some of his actions were calculated to inherit the smithy. But that didn’t affect the fact that he liked Khan. That emotion still remained.

Then Khan’s expression started to slowly contort.
