“Khan!”
Three hours before Piaro was misunderstood as a legendary farmer and feng shui expert .
Grid came to the smithy where Khan was working alone .
“Ohh! You came!”
“I missed you!”
“I haven’t been able to eat, because I wanted to see you!”
“Eh? Should I have missed meals as well?”
“Hahaha!”
Grid and Khan hugged as they reunited after a long time . It was a friendship that transcended identity and age, so they welcomed each other enthusiastically .
“I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to adapt to the warm weather of the west, but you seem fine . Rather, you look healthier . ”
Khan was in the latter half of his 60’s . He had passed the average life expectancy of the people of the Eternal Kingdom, so it was safe to say that he was at the end of his life . But after returning to being a blacksmith thanks to Grid, Khan worked all day and looked like he was in his 40’s or 50’s .
“You don’t have to worry . I have been working with fire all my life, so how can I be threatened by this heat?”
“You’re a great inspiration . ”
Grid smiled . However, he knew that the lifespan of an NPC was finite so he couldn’t suppress the uneasiness in his life .
‘Please live for a long time . ’
The first friend in his life, Khan . Grid wouldn’t be able to bear the sadness that would come when he needed to say farewell to the person who opened up his heart . Khan noticed the sad emotions in Grid’s smile and became slightly teary .
‘He reminds me of my son . ’
His late son . If he hadn’t become sick and died early, he would’ve been Duke Grid’s age right now .
‘Originally, my son should be the one worrying about me…’
He wanted to see his son . But he could appease that longing with Duke Grid beside him . Khan was thankful for Duke Grid filling his vacancy . Khan swallowed back his tears and bowed his head .
“Thank you . ”
“Huh? What?”
Grid didn’t understand the intentions behind Khan’s sudden action . Khan smiled at his puzzled expression .
“Didn’t you come here to help me? So I wanted to thank you! Hahaha!”
“What…? This is originally my work . ” Grid brought Khan to Reidan so that Khan wouldn’t be lonely, not for the manpower . “But the situation of the city is a little inconvenient right now, so I am grateful for your help . Let’s work together to solve the problem . ”
Grid took off the Holy Light set and changed into old clothing . The dirty novice clothing was what Grid wore when he worked as a blacksmith . The efficiency increased because it was easy to move in the clothing . The only downside was that Grid looked like a complete beggar when he wore it .
“Ohh! You can’t hide your dignity with these shabby clothes!”
Grid’s current dignity and charm stats were comparable to the king of a kingdom, so he was always brimming with elegance .
Grid swept away his hair and revealed his great forehead . He tied a cloth around his head so that his hair wouldn’t flow down, and looked around the smithy .
‘It is unbelievably large . ’
A general smithy only had one or two small or medium sized furnaces installed . Usually only three to five people could work at the same time in a smithy .
However, the Overgeared members looked at the future and invested in Reidan’s smithy, giving it a total of eight large furnaces . The sight of eight large furnaces lined up in a row was impressive .
‘Isn’t this at the level of a factory? Dozens of blacksmiths can work at the same time and produce a large quantity of items . ’
But that was a story for later, when they had many blacksmiths . Currently, there was only Grid and Khan, so the big size of the smithy couldn’t be taken advantage of .
‘I should look into inviting blacksmith users . ’
Grid looked at the smithy before deciding to start working . However, he didn’t have the method to make a rake .
‘I don’t know how to make any farming equipment . ’
It was because he never needed to make farming equipment before . But that wasn’t a problem . Grid had the Legendary Blacksmith’s Appraisal skill . Grid held one of the rakes made by Khan and used appraisal .
[Sturdy Rake]
Rating: Normal
Durability: 20/20 Attack Power: 3~7
A farming equipment suitable for digging at the ground .
It is made by Blacksmith Khan who can represent a region, so it is a rake with excellent durability .
Weight: 60
[A hidden function doesn’t exist . ]
[You have grasped the materials that make up Sturdy Rake, the production method, and the intentions of its creator . ]
[Your understanding of the Sturdy Rake is now at 100% . You will be able to use the Sturdy Rake perfectly . ]
[You have learned how to make a rake . ]
The rake production method was added . Grid was satisfied and started work .
Ttang! Ttang!
He bent the structure at the end to resemble a trident . It was a simple structure, so Khan was able to produce one rake in just 20 minutes . Yet Grid was different . Just like when raiding boss monsters, Grid was extremely focused as he devoted himself to making one rake .
He carefully shaped the ends like he was making a sword, then he combined it with the handle part . Grid had over 2,000 dexterity, so his hands delicately handled the rake like he was touching Irene’s pale body .
Two hours later .
“Ah, I should take a rest . ”
Age didn’t lie . The weary Khan stopped working . On the other hand, Grid had superhuman stamina and wasn’t exhausted . Khan looked closely at his work and was shocked .
“No, what are you doing right now?”
“Huh? What’s the problem?”
Grid looked like he didn’t understand, so Khan asked .
“Why are you spending two hours making a rake? I’ve already finished six rakes in two hours… Isn’t this a waste of time?”
“Hrmm . ” Grid identified the six rakes made by Khan . Of course, they were all normal rated . The degree of completion wasn’t satisfactory, considering Khan’s skill . “Khan . ”
Grid stared straight at Khan . Khan flinched at the sight . Grid’s eyes were as deep as the ocean, like a wise man . It was quite different from the usual Grid .
‘Grid can also look like this…!’
Then Grid asked the astounded Khan . “Shouldn’t you always do your best when making equipment? So why are you roughly making the farming equipment?”
“That… Produce as much as possible . Lauel said to mass produce as much farming equipment as possible so that he could put more manpower into the rehabilitation project . ”
“Mass production? Even lowly blacksmiths can do something like that . ”
Grid emanated a huge pressure . Right now, he wasn’t a greedy young man or Khan’s valued friend . There was no doubt that he was a legendary blacksmith, Pagma’s Descendant .
