Overgeared

Grid highly appreciated Noll’s value. At least in the field of combat, he was superior to Piaro. Not only were his stats superior to Piaro, he also had great healing skills and defense buffs. Above all, there was one thing Grid liked.

‘He has a strong desire for survival.’

The reason why Grid was reluctant to participate in battle with named NPCs like Piaro and Asmophel was because their lives were finite. Unlike players, they couldn’t be resurrected. Grid didn’t want to lose them. However, Piaro and Asmophel had the chivalrous spirit of a knight. They threw away their lives too easily for Grid. Grid was afraid. He didn’t want to let them go to war.

Noll was completely different from them. His motivation for life was too strong. If he was in danger he would forget his purpose and retreat. Some people would mock him for being a coward. But Grid’s thoughts were completely different. He considered it worthy of praise to cherish your life, not criticism.

'I can use him without being burdened... No, I should send him to war.’

Grid’s expectations were amplified as he envisioned Noll taking over the battlefield as a general of the Overgeared Kingdom. His heart pounded. Imagine it. A named NPC. The shockwave that would occur when the world found out that a direct descendant became a user’s subordinate!

‘Ah, they will make a fuss again.’

Grid laughed. His shoulders and nose had already risen into the air. It wasn’t a bluff. He was proud of his new achievements.

‘Anyway...’

The smile disappeared from Grid’s face. He was reminded that there was a real problem with Noll. It was the food problem.

‘...I have no choice but to do what Piaro said.’

Piaro was certain that he could grow new crops here in the vampire city and these crops would be Noll’s food. Grid was forced to look forward to it. The determined Grid spoke to Noll who was still roaring at Piaro.

"Noll, for the moment, help in the field by Piaro’s side.”

"What?”

Noll’s face became pale.

A vampire. He was an earl yet he was expected to work in the fields? Noll couldn’t imagine it so it must be a joke.

“Bah! I’m not accustomed to the pun in human words!”

He was certain that Grid was joking. Grid explained to him.

"I'm sorry, but I’m serious. It can’t be helped. I’m afraid of what will happen if you go outside in this state.”

“Shit... This is a moral issue? Don’t worry about it. I won’t hurt your people. I will take the people of other kingdoms as food.”

"No, it will cause a diplomatic problem. And in the long run, it’s better to solve your food problem.”

“Kuk...!” Noll gritted his teeth. He was really angry. "You’re going to make me work in the field because you fear for the lives of a few humans? Don’t you know my value? My power! I am a powerful force! It’s a power that can make you the ruler of the human world! Yet you want me to work in the fields?

“...”

Grid could understand why Noll was offended. Grid’s pride would be hurt if he was in Noll’s position. But what could he do?

"Humans have their own circumstances and society has its own rules. You should understand this part if you have to live with humans in the future.”

“I understand what you mean! But working in the field is too much!!”

“...”

at Noll’s words and whispered to Piaro, "I also think it is a little too much. Making a direct vampire work in the fields... Do you really need
