Overgeared

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 hell.

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.’
