Overgeared

A ruins hunter? Ancient ruins had awakened since the change in the world. There was too much information that even the Skunk expedition’s capabilities couldn’t uncover. Of course, it was a matter that time would solve. Players were growing steadily. However, the Overgeared Guild was obliged to maintain the lead. Time was more precious than gold.

‘He is a ruins hunter. This is why Cabelon was able to get to the No Offspring Tomb one step ahead of us. Is that eye-based artifact also an artifact that Cabelon salvaged himself?‘

Lauel discovered Cabelon’s identity and was excited in a positive sense. In fact, didn’t Muller describe Cabelon as a treasure? The person he thought was a hostile force was actually a valuable talent.

Lauel’s eyes gradually curved into a half moon shape.

Cabelon snorted. “I’m not a treasure, I’m a retired person. Don’t look at me with expectant eyes.”

“A retired person? I didn’t know that you, who has a high nose, would say such a thing even as a joke.”

“Hmph, is there any nose to protect when I can’t even see in front of me?”

Looking at Cabelon’s usual behavior, it was hard to believe he was blind.

His ability to read all the flows around him with his hearing was no different from that of a person who could see. No, on the contrary, he was superior to ordinary people to the extent where one had to wonder if he had eyes in the back of his head. Additionally, it was possible to gain vision briefly using the artifacts.

However, Cabelon himself seemed to have a huge complex about the fact that he was blind.

Indeed. How much effort did it take to get where he was now? Naturally, those who could see shouldn’t recklessly try to understand the hearts of those who couldn’t see.

“Those eyes... did you lose them to the Great Robber of the Red Night?”

“Stop talking nonsense. Do you think my courage is big enough to offend that old man?”

“I made a guess because I don’t know how people will change over hundreds of years. It is a good thing that you didn’t lose them to the Great Robber.”

“...Losing my eyes was a simple accident. I failed to respond to a threat lurking in the ruins. I made preparations every time, but it can’t be perfect.”

“Did you hone my swordsmanship after that as a small guarantee?”

“Yes, the secret techniques you had left behind all over the world were quite helpful. I couldn’t find one of the beginning level secret techniques, so it seems that my swordsmanship is quite flawed.”

“There are no beginning level secret techniques. My swordsmanship was originally arranged for a talented swordsman, so I didn’t feel the need to teach the basics.”

“...Damn. My bad luck is still the same.”

“Um? What’s the problem?”

“Forget it. No matter whether you roast me or boil me, do as you please.”

In the first place, the reason why Cabelon became obsessed with Muller’s secret technique was purely to survive. He didn’t have a very good relationship with Muller when they were active, so it hurt his pride, but he decided it was for the best. It had been hundreds of years since then. He even built up transcendence after hundreds of years of polishing Muller’s swordsmanship, which he had learned in order to survive.

From then on, the situation was reversed. Cabelon was compelled to perfect his swordsmanship. He went back and forth between the West Continent and East Continent in search of Muller’s secret techniques that hadn’t been found. In the process, he met the Sword Saint of the present era and everything became twisted from then on.

Kraugel—he tried to gain a secret technique from the guy that must’ve become the Sword Saint from finding a higher ranked secret technique than his, but he wasn’t successful. The problem was that the Sword Saint was too powerful to be suppressed with force.

Somehow, he ended up in Reinhardt and became entangled up in a bad relationship with the monstrous new nation called the Overgeared Empire. Eventually, the thought to be dead Muller came back alive. The fact that he was relying on Muller’s swordsmanship to survive was exposed. He was even caught claiming to be Muller’s disciple...
