Overgeared

For the past three days, carriages after carriages, each filled to the brim with war supplies, constantly arrived in Reinhardt. The constant procession of carriages spread rumors that 'the identity of the wealthy person who swept through the exchange is actually Grid.'

Grid didn't deny it. Well, it was good to be seen as having a lot of money.

In fact, the effect of the rumors was great. The feet of the merchants who tried to rip off the Overgeared Kingdom were on fire. They used to act like masters every time they sat at the negotiating table. Now they fell flat like turtles. They didn't expect him to buy iron ore for 200 gold to cover the supplies... this... it was just crazy.

The merchants were afraid of Grid's violent power. They felt madness. They desperately realized that no matter how hard they struggled, they could never be able to best Grid. They didn't know how much Grid was trying to protect them. The truth would only be revealed after the great human and demon war.

"Excuse me...?"

At a smithy made by remodeling a whole palace...

Lauel visited Grid and was speechless for a moment. The immortal lich, or the king of the dead, stood in front of the anvil while hammering. A dwarf, a noble race sacred to blacksmiths, was busy running around and helping with chores. It was an unbelievable sight.

"You came?"

The lich and dwarf helping Grid was Overgeared Skeleton Two and Ke ong. This smithy was smaller than the one built in the center of the city, but the reason why Grid was working here was because people's attention was troublesome. If he got caught working with a lich, a lot of people would come in and make a fuss.

"It is unrealistic to see a lich working as a blacksmith. The reason for the coolness... is it because I have the black flame dragon?"

"What is all this nonsense? In any case, the Overgeared Skeleton has become cool."

The black magic power was like a cloak and left an afterimage of magic power in every action. Even a boss monster wouldn't be able to show this. Tap dancing while hammering was ridiculous.

"What is the book it is reading in the middle? A forbidden magic that drove me to death in my previous life...?!"

"...It is Madra's diary. The handwriting is strange, so it is taking it a while to interpret it. You are excited. Then the negotiations must've gone well?"

"Huhu, it is good overall, but they seem obsessed with supplies that blacksmiths have a high demand for. They said they can't give up iron ore for less than 2 gold. Then I said I would stop."

"Isn't it a reasonable enough price at this point? I think the merchants have given in a lot?"

"It isn't giving up, it is almost at the level of a plea. From their point of view, they would've sold it for several times or dozens of times cheaper than the purchase price, so they must've been in tears. However, we already have enough supplies. There is no need to be obsessed with high-priced items."

"We need to be prepared for the worst. If we make a mistake or fail to make an item, it is common to consume more materials than indicated in the design. It also isn't just us. The other kingdoms, including the empire, are trying to secure as much supplies as possible. Shouldn't we buy a bit more before the market goes up?"

"It's okay. I got a fixed price contract for the allies."
