312A masterpiece of art) (3)
Marquis Valentino was dumbfounded even after asking the question..
He hoped that Roman Dmitri would deny the fact that the sword that had put him in ecstasy was just a yawn..
however.
“It is true that this work is relatively the least complete. However, I don't think it's a 'yawn' quality. Although the level of perfection has only increased step by step through enlightenment in the process of making swords, the swords in the No-Name series are several steps more advanced than those produced previously..”
It was a shocking answer.
In a situation where he was speechless, Marquis Valentino confirmed the third no-name once again with shaking eyes..
It was perfect.
From a collector's perspective, there was no form more perfect than this, to the point where it was difficult to understand which part was lacking in completeness..
Sharp blade and appropriate grip. Moreover, its ability to receive mana clearly surpasses the standards of what people call a famous sword..
I swallowed dry saliva..
If the opponent wasn't Roman Dmitry.
I would have raised my voice and told him not to bluff, but since he was the other person, I carefully asked him the truth..
“……If so, could you please check the fourth and final sword??”
“All right.”
There was no hesitation in the answer..
For craftsmen.
Showing off the work to someone who recognized the value of the sword was as enjoyable as the process of making it..
Hans took the sword.
As he pulled the sword out of its scabbard and held it up, Marquis Valentino's eyes turned hazy..
“……iced coffee.”
As if a moan is leaking out.
I let out an exclamation.
When I saw the sword reflecting in the light, the questions that had been confusing my mind disappeared at once..
‘Is there a sword like this in the world?.’
There is a saying that is legendary among collectors..
An entity that goes beyond its value as a collectible.
It is said that things that can be considered true treasures radiate magical power that attracts people at a glance..
At that time, there is no need for complex processes such as measuring machines..
It is said that just by touching and looking at the object in person, the thrill that passes through your body makes you realize how valuable the object in front of you is..
It was now..
The Marquis Valentino could not hide his expression of admiration, to the point that his hand caressing the sword was shaking..
‘I understand why Roman Dmitry described the No-Name series as an experiment. To create such a treasure, even the process must have been artistic. Roman Dmitry has now entered a completely untouchable world as a craftsman. To purchase his sword, every collector would raise their voices without hesitation and say they would pay a premium..’
1gold kendo.
If it's Roman Dmitry's work, there will come a time when 10 gold is offered..
It was as expected.
When he first purchased Blaze, Marquis Valentino considered its symbolism as ‘Roman Dmitry’s work’..
Even back then, many people said that investing 1,200 gold in a regular sword was a reckless decision, but if Blaze were put on the market now, you would easily get twice the amount..
the problem is.
It was not good news for the Marquis Valentino..
For collectors who do not resell their collections, the value of no-name predicted the future..
‘……To win the bid for Third No-Name, an astronomical amount of money is needed. Just because of the symbolism of the process of creating this perfect sword, collectors will rush in with their eyes lit up..’
in agony.
The result was so perfect that it actually created confusion..
It was then.
Marquis Valentino's ears heard Roman Dmitry's voice..
“The name of the last sword is Disaster..”
disaster.
It was certain.
Enemies who face that sword will feel like they are facing disaster, as the sword's name suggests..
* * *
that day.
Marquis Valentino said this as he left Dmitri:.
“The Disaster was such a perfect piece that I never even dared to buy it. A sword like that will only show its true value if it is with Roman Dmitri, but I definitely plan to win the bid for Third No-Name, which was the starting point for creating the Disaster. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to prepare first..”
His expression was solemn.
As if he were willing to risk his life, Marquis Valentino left Dmitry, determined to win the bid..
The situation has been sorted out..
Roman Dmitry has now met the person he thought would be the new owner of Darkness..
“……why are you giving me this?”
It was Rodwell Dmitry..
He covered his inner eye with an eyepatch and looked at Roman Dmitry with a puzzled look..
“I have many better swords than this. But the reason I want to give this to you is because Roman Dmitry's younger brother wants you to continue the symbolism as you are the only one who can take my place..”
Dmitry became a country.
In the national power system, being born in the same bloodline as Roman Dmitry was a very important factor..
Chris, Kevin.
There was a symbolism that could not be replaced by loyal subjects..
Therefore, Rodwell Dmitry pledged to fill Roman Dmitry's vacancy, but he is not yet qualified to do so..
Either by force or by leadership. It was far short..
Aside from the symbolism of being Roman Dmitry's younger brother, there was no reason for Dmitry's people to follow him..
“Rodwell. Dmitry stood on the edge of a cliff. The moment we take even one step back from the confrontation with Kronos, we will fall off a cliff and meet a gruesome end. A solid leader is needed to fill the vacant position that I am absent from. So, take this sword and become stronger. Be reborn as a strong being that everyone trusts, so that even if I am not there, you can reassure people..”
“……You know that's impossible. No matter how hard I try, I can't completely replace my brother..”
Meantime.
Rodwell Dmitry worked hard..
As a member of Dmitry, he struggled to fill Roman Dmitry's vacancy, but was unable to prevent people like Henderson from dying on the day the Kronos Empire attacked..
Then, I knew. Despite his strong will, he cannot become Roman Dmitry..
His overwhelming force and his powerful enemy, the Kronos Empire, clearly showed how humble Rodwell Dmitry was..
so that.
couldn't get the sword.
Even if he inherited the symbolism, he was a very humble being..
however.
“Let me tell you a funny story. The martial art called Yeomhwasingong has a special ability. I can only share some of the heat I have with my blood relatives. From now on, I will breathe fire into you. It is just a hint of power, a small seed. But if you accept the flames of the fire and germinate it. I assure you that you will become stronger than ever before..”
Roman Dmitry said he could become stronger.
From my past experience, I knew that those words were not lies..
“Choose. If you refuse, I'll just pretend this never happened..”
It was a question that already had an answer..
For Dmitry's future, Rodwell Dmitry had a desire to become stronger than he is now..
“I will do it. I'll do anything if I can become strong.”
* * *
It was simple.
fire of fire.
The moment I blew in a part of it that was truly 'fine', Rodwell Dmitry's eyes widened..
Hwaak-
“Sigh?!”
A great deal of pain came over me..
Starting from the area where the fire came, it felt like all the organs in my body were on fire. In particular, I clutched my abdomen as it felt like lava had been poured into my Danjeon..
My face turned red..
He put his face down on the ground and moaned, curled up in a small position and trembled..
It was painful.
Even Rodwell Dmitry, who thought he was used to pain, found this pain so unfamiliar that he could not bear it..
It's only a part.
But the flames of the fire were a force that humans could not handle..
If it had not been for the heat of the flame fire, the weak body would have been burned and reduced to ashes..
“……Ugh, ugh..”
I gritted my teeth.
It felt like his eyes were going to pop out, but Rodwell Dmitry didn't say a word to stop the pain..
I wanted to become stronger.
When the Kronos Empire attacked Dmitri, he also played his part..
But that was it.
They did not dare to deal with enemies like Sven, who had driven Kevin and Henderson to their deaths, and remained a bystander when Roman Dmitry waged an all-out war against the Kronos Empire..
got the topic.
Apart from the fact that he was Dmitri's man, he knew that he had no place in this war..
It was miserable.
As a fellow Dmitri, I wanted to do something for Dmitri..
Rodwell Dmitry, who always had to be the best due to his father's excessive expectations, found it difficult to bear the feeling of helplessness of not being able to do anything..
If you ask people who stays up late at the gym every night, they will most likely mention Rodwell Dmitry..
Although he tried so persistently, the existence he had to replace was so overwhelming that his efforts seemed like nothing..
So I endured it.
I wanted to seize the opportunity.
Rodwell Dmitry was not the type to freely accept the wealth and glory that came from his brother's reputation..
Even if it's foolish.
He hoped he would do his duty..
Rodwell Dmitry, who took on the role of the eldest son from a young age, was such a person..
My body was trembling..
In an attempt to come to my senses, I bit into the flesh inside my mouth, and the inside of my mouth was covered in blood..
It was fishy.
However, despite the constant pain, Rodwell Dmitry swallowed the intense heat..
It was a poisonous tumor.
He fought against Kronos even losing an eye, and possessed mental power that exceeded the limits of ordinary people..
As time passed, his will became as hard as steel..
Even though the pain continued to pound, even though my face was distorted in pain, I did not let go of my spirit until the end..
That look.
I liked Roman Dmitry..
The new life is not just a family that forces physical competition, but truly trustworthy beings who consider themselves family..
What a joy this is.
If Rodwell Dmitry had hoped for power even remotely off topic, he would have had his head blown off before he got a chance like today..
That kind of person is.
It was Baek Jung-hyuk..
In order to accept a family member as family, it was important to think about the family fence rather than blood line..
inside the fence.
Accepted Rodwell Dmitry.
To him who purely cared about Dmitry, he presented a way forward..
Finally.
“……Ughhh.”
The pain subsided..
As color returned to his face, a faint energy of fire finally took hold in Rodwell Dmitry's Danjeon..
I haven't come to my senses yet..
Beyond my hazy consciousness, Roman Dmitry's voice was heard..
“The name of the martial arts that I will tell you from now on is called Yeomhwa Shingong and Yeomhwa Sword Technique..”
A sword technique reminiscent of the flames of a fire..
Its owner was none other than Rodwell Dmitry..
* * *
Immediately after the Marquis Valentino returned to the family..
a meeting has been convened.
The family's vassals reacted with embarrassment after confirming the topic of the meeting..
“what do you mean?”
“I heard you are suddenly withdrawing from your jewelry business, which was going well. Immediately after the end of the war, a considerable amount of jewels had already been purchased in order to target noble women who were interested in luxury items. If we proceed with processing through craftsmen who have completed our contract, we would reap a considerable amount of profit. Why on earth are you making such a sudden decision??”
“Some explanation is needed. Even though it is not our main business, there is no case of withdrawing from the business like this..”
The backlash was severe..
jewelry business.
It was not Valentino's main business..
Valentino deals in a variety of businesses, including iron, groceries, and transportation, but has shown little interest in the jewelry business..
The reason was clear.
Valentino pursues business targeting an ‘unspecified number of people,’ but the number of customers purchasing luxury goods was very limited..
It was different from what Valentino was pursuing..
This time was an exception.
Considering the special nature of war.
It was an event-type business that was carried out occasionally, but suddenly they said they would collect the money from the jewelry business..
eyes were focused.
One of the retainers asked seriously:.
“Is there some problem we don't know about??”
The atmosphere became serious.
if so.
The vassals will all put their heads together and try to solve important problems..
In the eyes of the vassals.
Marquis Valentino spoke with a very serious expression..
“This is a very important issue. In order to win the sword of Roman Dmitri that I mentioned last time, I think it would be impossible with just 3,000 to 4,000 gold. Therefore, we will recover all the money invested in the jewelry business and invest that capital in auctions..”
a firm tone.
For a moment, the vassals could not believe their ears..
