Overgeared

Guseha was the Skin Maker himself? The flustered Peak Sword shut his mouth and Regas greeted him instead, “I never imagined that Guseha and Shift would be the same person. I wanted to see both of you if there was an opportunity. Now I get to meet both at once in this way! It is like fate! Hahaha!”

“...How do you know that I’m Guseha?”

Guseha was well aware that the Overgeared Kingdom’s information network was great. It was right to be aware of the Overgeared Shadows’ eyes and ears everywhere. However, Guseha’s current appearance was a new work. It was a skin he was using for the first time today. It was impossible for the Overgeared Guild to know he was Guseha unless they were monitoring Guseha in real time.

Regas saw his wary stance and pointed toward Peak Sword. “This person is your big fan. He immediately recognized you when we met at the roadside stall just now. He noticed based on the angle that your eyebrows...? Haha.”

“Hum hum.” Peak Sword coughed. He was very embarrassed because an uncle was telling another uncle he admired that ‘I am such an avid fan I can identify you by looking at your little habits.’ Still, this embarrassment was just temporary. He was meeting the muse he had been looking forward to for 20 years and was frankly delighted. “Guseha, the king of ballads and the master of great classics is a brilliant star to me. It is a pleasure and honor to meet you, Hyung-nim. An autograph... if possible, please meet me in reality. Of course, this is when your time is free.”

“Hahaha.” Guseha read the sincerity in Peak Sword’s nervously trembling voice and put away his vigilance. He gave a happy smile, shook hands with Peak Sword, and spoke, “I’ve been a fan since you were the master of the Silver Knights Guild, the only active Korean Guild. I was cheering for you from a distance but if I knew you were my fan, I would’ve cheered for you from a closer distance.”

“Hyung-nim! My face value might be high but I am eight years younger than you! Please speak to me comfortably! Aren’t we both citizens of eastern countries with manners?”

“I’ll talk to you without honorifics if we become closer later.”

“I hope that day will come, Hyung-nim!” Peak Sword wrapped both his hands around Guseha’s hand and his eyes shone as brightly as a girl. It resembled his eyes when he looked at Grid.

Guseha had been a top star for 20 years and he was skillful in how he conducted himself. He soothed the excited Peak Sword, solved things moderately, and naturally brought up the main point—Death God Knight. He explained how and why he was targeted by this mercenary. At the center of the story was something called ‘Heart of the Frost Queen.’

“Heart?”

The Frost Queen—she was the ruler of Heraris and people were familiar with her. It was just like the Frost Queen’s Breath that Grid had used to make Mumud’s Orb. There are various items collected in the Heraris area that had the name ‘Frost Queen‘ attached to them and these items were widely used in various fields.

People couldn’t be unaware of the Frost Queen. For example, Lauel often referred to the Frost Queen when leading troops. The excited soldiers were told to cool off their heated blood by recalling the cold breath of the Frost Queen and the soldiers understood it.

However, the number of people to actually witness the Frost Queen was rare. In fact, it was more like ‘none.’ Still, the world was wide and there were many people, so it was impossible to jump to conclusions.

Heraris—it was a place where the white snowfields endlessly spread out and people lost their sense of direction. It was only a white, vast land. The moment they stepped in there, travelers despaired over the compass that became useless. They wandered for a long time before dying. Due to the cold that froze even the flow of mana, magic didn’t trigger so it was impossible to escape.

It was a famous story that Skunk, the adventurer who completed a map of the West Continent, had suffered 17 deaths in Heraris. Yet even such a Skunk didn’t meet the Frost Queen. Skunk succeeded in exploring the ‘area’ of Heraris, but he didn’t clear the dungeons that existed in this area. Dungeons in the Heraris region were too dangerous for Skunk to explore.

Those who have been eyeing at the Heart of the Frost Queen have long known that the Hemilton principality has been holding the heart. The reason why they didn’t take the heart from the principality despite being about to afford Knight was probably because they were wary of Kujarak. Of course, it
