431The state of painting art (1)
It was a different day than usual.
Blacksmiths working in workshops, merchants selling various things on the street, and many other people all flocked to the same place..
The reason was none other than the news of Roman Dmitry's work..
Upon hearing the news that Roman Dmitry was making a sword publicly, Dmitry's people couldn't help but show interest..
1 year ago from now.
Marquis Valentino once revealed his collection..
At that time, sword handling experts were gathered together, and the evaluation of that day became an issue for people..
“I think I understand why Marquis Valentino said that the future of the sword depends on Roman Dmitri. Even though Blaze is a sword made in the early days, it has the ability to crush all the swords that are currently called famous swords on the market. Not only is it strong and sharp as an iron weapon, but its ability to receive mana is truly overwhelming. I can't believe I was able to get a weapon like this for only 1200 gold. I can say without a doubt that if it were to come out on the market now, it would be worth at least twice as much, excluding the name value..”
It was truly a high praise..
In an event that immediately recognized high-ranking experts, people showed interest in Roman Dmitry's production skills..
In fact, Roman Dmitry's weapons were not evaluated solely on quality..
The symbolism of being created by a swordsman who will lead a new era and the position of being the eldest son of the Dmitry family, famous for its iron weapons..
If the minimum value of quality was more than twice the auction price, there was no need to mention scarcity..
and.
With the keyword Roman Dmitry and the sword, there was one more issue that people might be interested in..
The source of the rumor was Dmitry's servants..
“What kind of work are you doing in the workshop? If you think about common sense, it doesn't make sense for there to be scorch marks on the walls and ceiling, even though the work involves dealing with fire. However, whenever Master Roman finishes his work, there are always traces left as if the entire workshop has been burned..”
“I've seen it too! While organizing various workshops, I can assure you that there has never been a single case where a trace like Master Roman's was left behind. Like you said, it's clearly impossible without the entire workshop burning down..”
Only a small number of people directly witnessed the working environment..
Most people did not know how to do the work, but the words spoken by the servants as they cleaned up the workshop after work strongly stimulated people's curiosity..
Think about it. In an environment overflowing with flames, how on earth can you overcome the heat and work?.
Interest was bound to explode as the Marquis Valentino, known as a greedy collector, and experts praised the perfection, and even the servants' testimonies were added..
like that.
With many people watching, Roman Dmitry finally entered the workshop..
* * *
It was an open environment..
The door to the workshop was wide open, allowing the inside situation to be fully visible from the outside..
first.
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
lit the fire pit.
I raised the heat sufficiently to organize my work, and soon began pounding the steel in the heated space..
It was a familiar sight to people..
It wasn't common to see people working without protective gear and with their intensely writhing muscles exposed, but it was still nothing special..
It was then.
Hwaak!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“and.”
“omg.”
People let out exclamations.
The flames swirling as a result of the violent hammering appeared to spread in all directions as if they were about to engulf Roman Dmitri. It was just as rumored.
Roman Dmitry didn't feel the heat even in the flames.
Even when surrounded by flames, the hammering continued, and a silence that went beyond admiration captivated people..
Gradually.
I fell in love with the work.
Roman Dmitry forgot about people's gaze and focused on the essence of this work..
‘Alexandre is a being based on the power of the demon world. If there is a war against the demon world, humanity will have to deal with beings who use that kind of power. In order to have the bare minimum to stand against them, we need the power to break down the magic of darkness..’
Holy Weapon.
That was the solution.
Dark magic is not common.
Since there are many cases where mere material blows alone cannot destroy existence, the divine power that destroys the essence itself had to be accompanied..
For that reason, blacksmiths were ordered to create sacred weapons..
Mass supply of sacred weapons was the first step in preparing for war against the demon world..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I fell into memory.
What was Alexander's power and what method was appropriate to destroy it?.
I constantly ruminate.
From the perspective of those watching, it was an act of repeatedly striking steel, but Roman Dmitry's agony melted into every single action..
It was truly a state of trance..
The head was whipped around by the fierce flames, and the body was red, but the hammering was constant and uninterrupted..
‘I will not add holy power to weapons.’
during work.
Only by pouring in holy water can you create a truly sacred weapon..
However, what Roman Dmitry was trying to create was just an example of providing a solution to blacksmiths, and he had no intention of fitting it into the framework of divine power. Hendrick is a great blacksmith.
If Roman Dmitri creates a weapon to combat dark magic in his own way, the process and results alone will be enough to find the answer..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The fire grew stronger..
I forgot the concept of time.
Deciding that he was sufficiently prepared, Roman Dmitry began to infuse the energy of destruction in earnest..
‘Even in the martial arts world, there were beings who used unknown powers like Alexandre. What the past life and the present life have in common is that no matter where the root of power originates, the root that maintains its existence always exists. If it is completely destroyed with the energy of destruction, even beings like Alexandre will never be able to survive..’
Kwaang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Flames flew everywhere..
The flames that accepted the energy of destruction resisted fiercely, emitting so much heat that it could be felt even outside the workshop..
Roman Dmitry held the flames strong..
Every time the steel was struck, the exploding flames burned the entire workshop, but Roman Dmitry, surrounded by the flames, did not stop hammering..
Kaang!
Kaang, Kaang!
It was an incredible sight..
In the fiercely boiling flames.
Roman Dmitry did not take a single step back and continued his fight with himself to no end..
* * *
1Time ago, Kairos.
At the time of Dmitry's uproar, Marquis Valentino was comforting his broken heart at Kairos' mansion..
“……If I hadn't expected it, I wouldn't have been disappointed..”
Dmitri's Battle.
Marquis Valentino, who had participated in the fierce battle at the recommendation of Madame Tous Susan, met Susan who said sorry with a despairing face..
It's not that I don't understand..
Madam Tu and Edwin Hector from each country put forward strong candidates, and even if he was the so-called rich man of Cairo, his chances of winning were low..
The problem was that it was already expected..
For the Marquis Valentino, who let his imagination run wild, he felt a great sense of loss as his dreams collapsed..
How sad is this?.
Roman Dmitry, who cares so much about his family, would take care of himself as his in-law, and if that were the case, he worked hard to create a miraculous happiness circuit that he could secretly ask for a new sword, but it ended up being a vain delusion..
I felt empty.
Marquis Valentino, who was struggling with a sense of loss, had a place he went to whenever he felt like this..
“Ha, it's always beautiful..”
Your own treasure trove.
It was a matter of looking at the collection..
Blaze and the Third No-Name.
As I looked at Roman Dmitry's beautiful creation, I felt the deep sense of loss melt away..
It was always a meaningful time for Marquis Valentino..
I carefully cleaned the outside of Blaze and Third No-Name to see if there was any dust on it, and was amazed at every moment that this work of art was my own..
At least at this time.
It was my own time..
No matter what problem I faced, once I checked out the collection, I was able to calm down and start anew..
however.
Knock knock.
“Marquis, may I come in??”
I heard a servant's voice outside the door..
I got irritated for a moment.
It is an unwritten rule of the Valentino family that while one is in a treasure trove, one should never disturb even if the sky falls, and a servant who has worked for Valentino for a long time dares to break it..
In my heart, I wanted to punish him right away..
However, thinking that there was a reason for knocking on the door of the treasure trove despite knowing the unwritten rule, Marquis Valentino suppressed his boiling anger and said,.
“come in.”
“sorry. Even though I knew I shouldn't interfere, I felt like I had to report this..”
It was strange.
I knocked on the door even though I knew.
As he looked at him with questioning eyes, the servant made a statement that shocked the Marquis Valentino..
“I have been informed that His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry is openly producing swords. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when an opportunity like this will come again, so I dared to disturb Marquis Valentino's time..”
* * *
servant's punishment?
There was nothing like that..
Marquis Valentino, who gave a big reward to the servant who made the decision, hurriedly walked to the warp gate..
‘I can't believe I just found out about this fact!’
Tears came to my eyes.
It's no one else, it's Roman Dmitri..
I was anxious at the thought that I might miss out on the fact that the person I thought was, without a doubt, the best craftsman on the continent was working in public..
That couldn't have happened.
If such a terrible thing happens, nothing will be able to soothe your empty heart this time..
I hurried my steps.
He had to get to Dmitry as quickly as possible, but cruelly God did not understand his heart..
“Sorry, you'll have to wait your turn..”
“Damn it!”
warp gate.
It takes time to use magic artifacts..
Due to the number of people waiting for their turn, Marquis Valentino was told that he would have to wait at least 4 hours, and from then on he started to feel crazy anxious..
The work of making a sword does not end in a day or two..
It would obviously take at least ten days, but Marquis Valentino wanted to see the whole sight from start to finish..
But 4 hours.
It felt like the sky was falling.
Considering the waiting time and travel time, this was truly heartbreaking for Marquis Valentino..
Did I wait for a minute?.
In the end, Marquis Valentino couldn't stand it anymore, walked through the line, and immediately spoke to the next person in line..
Fortunately, the other person was a familiar face..
“Count Pettison! I have some really urgent work to do, so could you please give me your turn? If you are considerate of my situation, I will definitely repay you later with this matter..”
Marquis Valentino's Reward.
It wasn't a story to be told..
Count Pettinson would normally have been willing to give up his turn, but there were circumstances in which he could not do so this time..
“I'm sorry, but I have an important appointment scheduled. Don’t you know Marquis Valentino well? Keeping the promised time is the basis of trust. Instead of asking me, please ask the person next in line.…….”
“100gold.”
“yes?”
“Not enough? Then 200 gold.”
My eyes widened..
I haven't figured it out yet.
They offered to give a lot of money simply to give up their seats, but there were circumstances in which they could not give up this time..
however.
“500gold. Isn’t this enough?.”
“I am willing to yield, Marquis Valentino..”
500 gold was too much of a sum to refuse a series of requests..
* * *
500spending of gold.
It was too much.
When I won the bid for Blaze for 1,200 gold, I had at least some material value left, but this time, I spent a huge amount simply to give up my seat..
It was an amount that could not be ignored even by a wealthy person like the Marquis Valentino, but his thinking circuit itself was different from ordinary people in the first place..
‘This isn't just giving up your seat, it's buying memories and experiences that I truly cherish..’
1Even for one second.
I wanted to quickly capture Roman Dmitry's appearance..
Even if it was an intangible value with nothing left, the reason why Marquis Valentino was saving money so quickly was to act as he wanted in a situation like this..
Thanks to this, I was able to use the warp gate right away..
Marquis Valentino, who quickly moved to Dmitry, hurried to the place where Roman Dmitry was working..
Thump thump thump.
my heart was racing.
My blood boiled like crazy..
Marquis Valentino finally arrived at the scene and made his way through the people blocking his way..
Those who occupied their seats in advance.
Defeating them wasn't easy.
Yelling at some people.
For some, physical means.
He even gave money to some people..
Only after Marquis Valentino's face was drenched in sweat was he able to occupy a seat overlooking the workshop..
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
blazing fire.
Roman Dmitry in flames.
In front of you.
“……iced coffee.”
The moment that Marquis Valentino had only imagined was being recreated exactly as it was..
