Overgeared

The keyword for dragons was arrogance. They were monsters that were immune to death due to the ‘absolute defense’ that wrapped around them like a garment, and devastated a city with a single breath. Understandably, they were fearless and arrogant. They were famous for belittling all beings other than themselves. The ancestors’ advice that it would be ugly to get involved with them as they did not know the concept of respect remained throughout the continent as a history.

Yet an unexpected event occurred around half a year ago. A giant dragon periodically visited Reidan to give gifts.

A dragon doing Grid a favor? There was a rumor that it was because he felt guilty toward Grid, but people weren’t convinced. How could a dragon feel guilty in the first place? Smashing cities and hurting people? For them, it would be as uninspiring as trampling on ants. So why?

The people were puzzled and went to visit Reidan. They heard rumors that Grid was attending this ‘descent of a dragon' event. However, it wasn’t easy to enter the city. There was a long procession even from a location where the walls of Reidan, famous for being very high, looked blurry. It was a procession of visitors to Reidan.

“Do we have to pay an entrance fee? By the way, why are there so many people?

Rabbit, a notorious administrator even among civilians, declared that he would charge an entrance fee. The reason was that it was difficult to manage security if just anyone was accepted. The people felt a backlash and they lost their motivation when they saw the long procession.

“Let’s watch from the outside without going inside the city.”

“That is good. It is a pity that I can’t see Grid, but the dragon is as big as a mountain. I can see it well from afar.”

Eventually, a few people left the line. Tents were set up in various places of the agriculture fields like they were camping. Then suddenly, dark clouds appeared in the sky and it rained. It was a heavy rain.

“Wasn’t it originally a desert here?”

“The clouds are too thick. We won’t even be able to see the dragon properly like this.”

“Damn, it can’t be helped. Let’s enter the city now.”

The people took down their tents and moved busily. They literally rushed in like a turbulent wave. However, the visitors didn’t end there. There were also many members of the bourgeois who crossed over using the warp gates rather than taking the usual routes.

Reidan was crowded without any place to step. It was like a huge pot of bean sprouts. Just then—

“......?”

The rain stopped like it was a lie.

“Thank you for the hard work,” Rabbit laughed at the dumbfounded tourists and spoke while adjusting his glasses.

At the lord’s castle...

Lauel was sitting down with a haggard look. He had changed his class to a feng shui master because it was useful for battlefield and city management, and he harbored a great sense of skepticism about his job.

“The prime minister of the great empire uses the ultimate technique to take money away from people... isn’t this too trivial? You are someone who has earned the title of daoist.”

“The number of visitors is 1.2 million and we got 7 gold per person. Recall the days when Reidan was reeling because it didn’t even have 200,000 gold and endure it.”

“Isn’t the rate of visits by children very small? Administrator Rabbit, did you predict that far?” Garitsha looked at the two men with a somewhat pitying expression and asked. It was a question from the lord of Reidan.
