432The state of painting art (2)

Kaang!

It was a cheerful sound.

Every time Roman Dmitry struck the steel in the swirling flames, the Marquis Valentino flinched and clenched his fists tightly..

I felt goosebumps rising from my toes..

Marquis Valentino had been praising Roman Dmitri as the best craftsman on the continent, but it was the first time he had seen him work in person..

‘……The rumors were true!’

Words floating around in the world.

Roman Dmitry really controlled the fire..

As I watched the flames burning my whole body, my mouth became dry and I couldn't take my eyes off..

‘A long time ago. There was a record about a legendary blacksmith who made weapons for heroes. He was a man of enormous size and great strength, and was gifted with the ability to control fire, to the extent that whenever he struck steel, it would be covered in flames. I thought that was just a fantasy peculiar to the people of old, but there really are people who can control fire even if they aren't wizards. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry is now recreating the legend.!’

look at that scene.

blazing fire.

hammering at regular intervals.

Muscles twitching as if about to explode.

It was truly a state of art..

Marquis Valentino spent 500 gold to prioritize the warp gate, but when he looked at Roman Dmitry, the expenditure was not a waste of money..

Suddenly, I remembered the shock I felt when I first saw Blaze..

At the time, I was amazed that such a sword existed in the world, but looking back now, I realized that it was just a test piece for Roman Dmitri, who would write the future legend..

“iced coffee.”

Admiration flowed out..

I forgot my surroundings.

The space was so crowded that it was difficult to even stand properly, but everyone looked mesmerized as if they had made a promise..

Even the concept of time flew out of my mind..

How much time had passed? As the sun was setting, a familiar face poked its head out through the crowd..

“Marquis!”

It was Valentino's article..

Although he tried to wait until the end, he had reasons to interrupt the appreciation of the Marquis Valentino..

“I have a prior commitment to the top in a little while. Even now, time is running out, so if you don't move quickly, you will have to pay a large penalty. Marquis Valentino, Marquis!”

I called again.

Marquis Valentino, who did not turn around no matter how much I said, only turned his head and spoke after being called about eight times..

“penalty fee.”

“……yes?”

“Pay the entire penalty. There is always a special clause in the contract with Valentino. If the moment comes when I come across a work of art worth risking my life for, I will forgive you for postponing the contract just once, no matter what the circumstances. I haven't used it in decades, but this time I have to use it..”

“Then, there is no need to pay a penalty, right?.”

“That's my gift. A gift to those who understand the outdated special contract and ask for their understanding of the indefinite wait..”

It was certain.

Valentino is crazy.

Waiting indefinitely meant that I would put off work at the top for a while and not leave even a single step from here..

I turned my head again.

As if he would no longer talk, the Marquis Valentino was immersed in the sight before his eyes with an ecstatic expression on his face..

* * *

Roman Dmitry's work.

It wasn't just Marquis Valentino who was impressed..

Hendrick, who led the blacksmiths to the famous site, was unable to calm his pounding heart as he looked at the scene in front of him..

‘amazing.’

lang syne.

Hendrick had seen Roman Dmitry's work..

At that time, I could not accept the fact that Roman Dmitry had created the famous sword, and in the process of checking it, I witnessed an unbelievable sight..

Roman Dmitry showing the appearance of a blacksmith amidst fluttering flames..

From that day on, I came to fully recognize Roman Dmitry, but as time went by, the memory of that time remained so strongly in my mind that I thought it might have been a dream..

and.

The moment Hendrick faced the moment he thought was a dream again, he felt an overwhelming emotion..

‘When I first checked His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry's work, I was unable to properly examine the work process because my eyes were drawn to the fluttering flames. But it was like this. It's amazing that he can control fire perfectly, but in my eyes, having lived in a blacksmith shop all my life, there is nothing that bothers me about His Majesty's work..’

It was shocking.

who is hendrick.

Master Blacksmith.

Dmitri is a master who is renowned for his blacksmithing skills, and Roman Dmitry's skills in his eyes were perfect..

To be precise, the basics were solid..

Ability to handle hammer blows and red-hot steel in a steady flow..

The flames that seemed to engulf the space were not simply for performance, but gave the steel the necessary amount of heat in a timely manner..

I felt like my eyes were spinning..

I recognized Roman Dmitry's skills right away, but when I analyzed it in detail, I found that his fundamentals were stronger than I imagined..

He couldn't know.

Roman Dmitry's Past Life.

How much teachings did Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, receive from great craftsmen in order to make one sword?.

At first he was also sloppy..

However, as time passed, his skills improved, and when he reached the position of Heavenly Demon, there was no one in the world who could refuse him when he asked for teachings..

Perhaps it is safe to say that Roman Dmitry's blacksmithing skills were the culmination of the martial arts of the central plains..

The blacksmithing skills of the Jungwon Wurim were revealed at the fingertips of Roman Dmitry..

Kaang!

sparks flew.

Past life and present life.

technology in harmony.

Hendrick turned his head and looked at the blacksmiths under him as he continued to work while holding the flames strong..

“Don’t miss even a moment of the sight you see before your eyes. That is the ideal you should pursue. If you can continuously improve your skills and reach the feet of His Majesty the Emperor, that person will become the new Master Blacksmith to succeed me..”

It was high praise.

Looking at the astonished gazes of the blacksmiths, he finally added,.

“You never know when the work will be finished. 1 hour a day from now on. All blacksmiths will observe the work of His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, excluding one hour from their usual working time. This will be a more valuable lesson than ever before, so those who neglect this time will be judged as unqualified to become blacksmiths..”

that day.

Until the sun set and the sun rose, Marquis Valentino and the blacksmiths did not leave their spot..

* * *

One day, two days… … ten days.

Time passed quickly.

At first, too many people flocked to the place, but as time goes by, the number of ordinary people decreases because even if you continue to observe the wonders, you will inevitably become dull..

There were definitely still people coming..

However, it was not as enthusiastic as the first day, and there were a few people who stayed in their seats..

first bunch.

Hendrick and the blacksmiths.

Since they could not give up their jobs to watch over Roman Dmitry, they stayed in their positions in rotation for about an hour a day, as ordered by Hendrik..

Some people watched with fascination, some took notes diligently, and some imitated Roman Dmitry's movements and practiced them..

Actually, I understood their appearance..

For those who would make a living in blacksmithing, Roman Dmitry's work was an experience not to be missed even for a moment..

however.

What I didn't understand was the second group..

The Marquis Valentino, who had already set up a tent and chairs to block the sun, sat down on a soft chair and watched Roman Dmitry work for ten days already..

Hendrick and the blacksmiths still had time to be away..

However, Marquis Valentino never once took a step outside the tent..

Then there was a problem.

How do you solve basic factors such as physiology and eating?.

The method was simple.

“cover the tent.”

“yes.”

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

When the Marquis Valentino's order was given, the servants waiting nearby blocked the entrance to the tent..

It was as simple as blocking the view with a cloth, and the Marquis Valentino gave up his face and solved his physiological problem in that small space..

It was the same with food..

When the servants ordered food that was easy to eat, Marquis Valentino ate it with his eyes fixed on Roman Dmitry..

The absurd thing is.

Since fatty foods encourage menstrual symptoms, I ate foods that were as comfortable as possible to shorten the time taken to resolve menstrual symptoms..

The servants had no particular complaints about this..

The Marquis Valentino is a truly unique character, but he was famous for making sure to compensate in situations like this..

That wasn't the only problem.

As the ten days passed and the problems at the top piled up and faced with a situation where it could no longer be postponed, Marquis Valentino handled all business inside the tent..

“It goes ahead as planned..”

“Contact the Frankish top. He said he would purchase the entire quantity. If it's Valentino top, you can handle it all..”

“Damn it. Request to the surrounding top companies and bring in as many manpower as possible..”

was busy.

While glancing at Roman Dmitry's work, Marquis Valentino took care of the really important work himself..

Of course it was less than an hour a day..

To put it simply, he only handles things that absolutely require his approval, and most of them are handled by people he usually trusts..

It was truly madness..

After all, people who admired him for being a greedy collector also clicked their tongues, saying that he was being called a crazy person..

Day and night changed countless times..

People's interest gradually faded..

People just shook their heads when they heard rumors that the Marquis Valentino was still there..

* * *

Inside and outside the workshop.

completely separated.

No matter what was happening outside, Roman Dmitry remained focused on his work during countless shifts between day and night..

Kaang!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

flame exploded.

Every time the energy of destruction was blown into it, it resisted fiercely, but the intensity of the flames had already subsided as the work had already been done thousands of times..

Roman Dmitry's eyes were filled with desire as he looked at the steel..

As the work progressed, a strong conviction grew in Roman Dmitry's heart..

‘This will be the greatest masterpiece of my life, both past and present..’

Roman Dmitry's way of working was unique..

It comes from a past life, and the life one has lived has always been melted into the sword in accordance with the current level..

When you are a third-rate warrior, use a third-rate sword..

When you are a second-rate warrior, use a second-rate sword..

When he was a first-class warrior, he made a first-class sword..

As the level of skill increased, the level of perfection in making swords inevitably increased, but this work completely deviated from the standards of my previous life..

If the current level simply determines the completeness of a sword, the sword made before Uhwadeungseon (羽化登仙) would have been the best..

But it was different now. Living a new life, I gained new enlightenment, and with the flames of fire overflowing, I entered a completely new realm..

and all that.

It was possible because he had reached the level of heaven..

The skills of the past life, the skills of the present life, past experiences, and the battle with Alexandre were all combined into a state of heaven all at once..

Kaang!

Kaang, Kaang!

The hammering intensified..

I didn't know how much time had passed.

The agony of making the sword turned into confidence, and I became immersed in the moment in front of me to create the perfect result no matter how long it took..

Joy enveloped my entire body..

What was initially just a struggle to survive developed into another element of joy in life for Roman Dmitry in this life..

Kaang!

endless hammering.

a fluttering flame.

Time passes quickly, and before I know it, a month has passed since the start of the work day..

* * *

It was dawn.

In a quiet time when not even a bird could be heard, Roman Dmitry looked at the sword with calm eyes..

‘completed.’

In this.

Contains past and present life.

I can assure you that in both my lives, there has never been a better sword than this..

‘your name is spirit.’

Because I put my soul into it.

It was named like that..

All work has been completed.

When Roman Dmitry cleared his place and went outside, an unexpected person greeted him in the quiet space..

“……Woe, Your Majesty the Emperor. Are you finished with your work??”

It was quite cold outside..

A person wearing a blanket all over their body, trembling, but with their eyes shining like a baby bird waiting for its mother bird..

It was the Marquis Valentino..

I had doubts as to whether it was the same person due to his very shabby appearance, but it was clear that he was the Marquis Valentino..
