433The state of painting art (3)
last month.
Marquis Valentino waited for this moment..
As he watched Roman Dmitry's work reach its peak, he held his breath for fear that it might interfere with his work..
My heart was pounding like crazy..
Finally, the dawn was filled with silence, and when Roman Dmitry stepped outside, he was greeted as if involuntarily possessed..
My body was shaking..
Although my body was not normal after spending a long time outdoors, my spirit transcended my physical limitations..
“……Woe, Your Majesty the Emperor. Are you finished with your work??”
My mouth didn't move properly.
Roman Dmitry looked at the Marquis Valentino in silence as he spoke with difficulty with his cold, frozen mouth..
I knew what the other person wanted.
Marquis Valentino.
I couldn't understand why this man, the richest man in Cairo whose life's goal was to recruit, was waiting for me with his sinister appearance..
He was such a fun person..
In fact, a person of Valentino's caliber can live with his head held high in Cairo, but he is waiting for me like a beggar just to look at a sword..
Roman Dmitry did not reject passionate people, even if they were of a different kind..
Zech.
didn't explain.
Seeing the sword being handed over to him without saying a word, Marquis Valentino looked at it with rippled eyes..
“……iced coffee.”
Exclamation leaked out.
The black eyes sparkling in the moonlight immediately caught my eye, and the seamless appearance took my breath away just by looking at it..
It was strangely different from the sword I made before..
Needless to say, the external perfection was perfect, and I held the sword with trembling hands due to the magical power that made people's hearts boil..
Chak.
It was smooth.
I chewed my lip at the feel of it in my hand, the appropriate weight, and the resounding waves of magical power..
It was fishy.
Marquis Valentino looked completely fascinated by the sword, to the point where he didn't know he was chewing it to the point of bleeding..
Actually, I didn't think Roman Dmitri would be able to make a sword better than the Disaster..
That's how perfect Disaster was, but I can assure you that this sword in front of me overwhelmed him..
horsepower test?
strength test?
There was no need to check anything like that..
Even if it is a collector's sense, even if it is a vagrant sleeping on the streets. You will immediately see how great this sword is..
My mind was spinning. In fact, the past month hasn't been difficult for him at all..
Even though it was cold and uncomfortable to be outside, just watching Roman Dmitry work made all my complaints melt away..
And with the results revealed as if they were the crowning jewel of the dragon, Marquis Valentino received an emotional reward for the time he spent here..
This was it.
Because I wanted to see the results before anyone else, I gave up my social position and chose to live homeless..
It was then.
“The name of the sword is Spirit.”
“……Spirit. It's a sword with a really beautiful name..”
spirit.
I imprinted the words in my mind..
The moment he felt grateful to Roman Dmitri for recognizing his feelings and giving him his sword, Marquis Valentino's eyes were fixed on something without realizing it..
it was another sword.
Come to think of it, Roman Dmitry first produced a sword, and after that, he devoted himself to spirits in earnest..
then.
What is that sword?.
Of course, Spirit cannot be purchased since it is the sword Roman Dmitry will use, but that could have been different..
“……Can you see that sword too??”
The eyes were colored with greed.
The imagination running through my mind was already picturing myself happily adding that sword to Roman Dmitri's collection..
Reason has become completely paralyzed.
After seeing the shocking results, Marquis Valentino momentarily forgot the truth he already knew..
“I can't confirm this.”
that.
It was a remark like a thunderbolt..
As Marquis Valentino looked on with a despairing expression, Roman Dmitry retrieved his sword with a calm look in his eyes..
“It is a sword whose owner has already been determined. So, the first person to check the sword must also be the sword's owner..”
* * *
the day has dawned.
People flocked to see that Roman Dmitry had finished the work, and as they watched Roman Dmitry fulfilled his promise from a month ago..
“This is the sword I promised..”
“……thank you.”
man kneeling.
It was Kevin.
Kevin received the sword from Roman Dmitry and looked at the sword's face with emotion..
It was a great sword.
Having crossed countless lines of death, I immediately realized how great the value of this sword bestowed by Roman Dmitri was..
It was a touching moment.
He could have roughly handled a subordinate's request for a sword, but Roman Dmitry publicly revealed the work to everyone..
What it was like then.
I couldn't forget.
Kevin felt overwhelmed at the thought that the result of his work, engulfed in flames, was his..
“His Majesty the Emperor once said this to me. He said he would use me, who was just an insignificant slum boy, as a sword. From then on, my life already belonged to His Majesty the Emperor. Whether it's Kronos or the devil of the demon world. No matter what enemies stand in your way, I will always be your sword..”
I lowered my head..
Roman Dmitry smiled lightly at the sight of him talking about loyalty..
It was a cheerful scene..
While the people watching were whispering that it was really nice to see, there was one person who couldn't help but laugh..
He is right.
It was the Marquis Valentino..
Roman Dmitry fulfilled his promise.
While creating a new sword called Spirit, I handed over the Disaster as promised, but after confirming the Spirit, the symbolism of the Disaster did not remain in my mind..
Of course, the symbolism of the sword used to conquer the continent was great..
The problem was that people were greedy, and other people's cakes seemed bigger..
glance.
I saw Kevin's sword..
It was attractive.
It was desirable.
Although it may not be as good as the Spirit, it was clearly a sword that was superior to the Disaster with some of that enlightenment incorporated into it..
Sigh.
saw the disaster.
This was also great.
But it was disappointing.
glance.
My stomach twisted..
Sigh.
This was definitely a good option too.
glance.
Sigh.
glance.
Sigh.
Marquis Valentino, who was checking his sword several times in turn, slapped his head and sighed..
“Such a sick bastard. I'll just ask them to make my own sword. If that were the case, that sword could have been mine, and the Disaster could have been mine too..”
It was certain.
collector of greed.
He was really greedy.
* * *
that day.
Marquis Valentino visited Kevin..
He said he would pay whatever amount he wanted if he sold the sword, but Kevin said with a cold expression:.
“I refuse. This sword is mine. Unless I die, this sword will never belong to anyone else..”
was adamant.
The reaction was so brutal that it felt even hostile, and Marquis Valentino knew that a person like Kevin could never be appeased with money..
It was a situation that really made me sigh..
I wouldn't know if I hadn't seen Spirit, but after watching Spirit, I became a person who couldn't be satisfied with just the Disaster..
God was harsh.
If he had been a little less greedy, Marquis Valentino would certainly have lived a moderately satisfied life..
for several days after that.
I'm in trouble.
As he continued to suffer from unquenchable desires, he received unexpected news from his connections..
“Have you heard about Count Pettinson? I had an important deal, but I was late that day and completely ruined it. But how absurd it was to laugh like that. Well, I understand. Isn't 500 gold a decent business in exchange for one human relationship gone wrong??”
That moment.
I gained enlightenment.
‘Yes, nothing is impossible with money. If that happens, it means you don't have enough money..’
Life is unpredictable.
really what if.
There may come a time when Kevin needs money too..
At that time, if Kevin were to offer an enormous amount of money that he couldn't refuse, wouldn't even Kevin's heart be swayed?.
I'm not talking about the future 1-2 years from now..
If Kevin gets old and there comes a time when he can't swing the sword properly, Kevin, who wants peace, may worry about the future of the sword..
Of course, I tried to ignore the possibility that I would die of old age first..
It was a faint possibility.
When such an opportunity came, thorough preparation was necessary to secure it..
The leaders were gathered together..
When they gathered, Marquis Valentino said:.
“I will focus on top work for the time being. And we will make Valentino and this family the richest person on the continent. Possessing an unprecedented amount of wealth in history. A wealth greater than that of the Golden Bank, which once wielded its wealth like the aura of the seven stars..”
Did people expect it?.
The decision of the day.
These words, which were as sudden as a thunderbolt in a dry sky, will lead to a revival of the Valentino family..
in the future.
people said.
It is said that there is only one step difference between a successful person and a crazy person..
* * *
a series of circumstances.
When Roman Dmitry publicly made a sword, there was someone who had a different sensibility than the Marquis Valentino..
“……Time flies..”
Romero Dmitri.
As he looked out the window in his study, he remembered his conversation with Hendrick..
“Let me be honest. His Imperial Majesty has far surpassed the level of the head of the family, who was once called Dmitri's greatest blacksmith. The sword he creates is a new realm unprecedented in history, and I am also seeing and learning a lot. It seems like we really don't know what's going on in the world. Even just a few years ago, wasn't there a prevailing expectation that the Dmitri family had lost its masters of blacksmithing after the head of the family?.”
The saying that you have surpassed yourself.
It was good to hear.
Since the Dmitry family's roots lie in blacksmithing, Romero Dmitri always hoped that one of his three sons would continue his legacy as a blacksmith..
But reality did not turn out the way we wanted..
At least Rodwell Dmitry showed enthusiasm, but I knew that it was not from the heart..
But I couldn't force it..
blacksmith work.
No matter how fundamental it was, obtaining the title of nobleman did not attract positive attention from those around him..
The stares that say it’s vulgar.
So, there was always a feeling that remained in my heart, and I couldn't help but be truly happy that my eldest son, who I thought was a sore finger, had passed on the generation..
onetime.
Romero Dmitri was everything to Dmitri..
There was a time when everyone admired him, but even now, not many people miss Romero Dmitri..
Sometimes I just reminisce about moments from the past. Romero didn't want Dmitri to rule again..
I laughed.
The fact that he had become an old man gave him an indescribable joy..
“Feel so good.”
the day was clear.
that day.
Romero Dmitry couldn't go to sleep easily..
As a father, he will also reminisce and remember today's events forever..
* * *
A few days have passed since then.
Dmitry's gymnasium.
In the past month, when people were excited about Roman Dmitry's incident, there was someone who appeared every single day in a space far away from that place..
From early morning until sunset.
The being who swung the sword until his entire body was drenched in sweat had a day no different from usual today, a few days after Roman Dmitry finished his work..
hook.
Hook, hook.
regular interval.
constant force.
The eyes shone fiercely.
It was a movement that took countless swings, but Chris didn't show any signs of losing concentration even for a moment..
‘I will not be defeated by anyone except His Majesty the Emperor..’
this competition.
As the news of Chris and Kevin's participation in the war became known, opinions were already divided among people as to which of the two would win..
Even before the war with Kronos, most people expected Chris to win..
However, this time, Kevin defeated Ares, and Hyunjae instead raised Kevin's hand..
It was unacceptable..
Even though I might not be able to surpass my goal, I had no intention of becoming a stepping stone for someone else..
I worked hard at training..
not much left.
With the scheduled date fast approaching, Chris couldn't afford to waste even a single day..
It was then.
“Chris! Chris!”
far away.
A soldier came running in a huff..
When he reached Chris, he barely calmed down his panting breath and spoke with a tired expression on his face..
“Well, something big has happened now.!”
“Stay calm and get to the point.”
I couldn't calm down.
One piece of news that struck Dmitry.
It was something that would have a huge impact on Chris and the continent..
“Actually a little while ago…….”
That's how the story started.
It was 1 hour ago.
When Edwin Hector visits Dmitry, a shocking problem begins..
