The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 554
554technology revolution (1)
At first I didn't think much of it..
Hundreds of customers came to Miracle every day, and among them, the truly special ones called to make reservations in advance..
From the moment I opened the front door and entered without any warning, it meant that I was just another guest..
Ha Seong-tae was trying to receive guests on a daily basis, but the moment he checked the sword, he felt a strange feeling..
Chak.
‘Look at this.’
Feels securely in your hand.
It was unusual..
Some swords are often not faithful to the shape of the sword, but this sword felt like it was thoroughly considerate of the user..
In fact, you could tell just by looking at the appearance..
The sword, which was slightly shorter than an ordinary longsword, signified the fighting style pursued by the user, and was clearly custom-made by the sword's maker..
When the blade was briefly illuminated by a light, the light flowed smoothly across the surface of the sword..
‘Wow.’
An exclamation leaked out.
It was solid.
I have never seen a sword of this level of perfection recently, and it shows the effort put into it by the craftsman, pouring blood and sweat into it..
However, this could not be classified as a quality product..
When looking at the sword's completeness alone, it is obviously great, but in the chaotic era of dealing with monsters, iron weapons were not evaluated simply for their sword abilities..
Immediate skill expression.
Depending on how well you receive mana, only then can your weapon be recognized for its true value..
‘Perhaps this weapon's perfection as a weapon is only outstanding. It's truly an ironic reality. If you increase skill expression through crafting skills, the weapon's completeness will inevitably drop due to dependence on the skill. Of course, this does not mean that it can be designated as a premium product just because the skill expression level is high, but it is very likely that a weapon with such a perfect form is a weapon that was created directly, excluding production skills..’
Past experience.
Ha Seong-tae came to a conclusion in a split second..
I was checking the level of skill expression with a calm face, but the moment I let go of the mana from the mana stone, something shocking happened..
Hwaak.
“……?!”
Mana was sucked in in an instant..
The sword shone brightly, and its brilliant form meant that the sword in front of me had perfectly received mana..
My mind was tangled in confusion..
As perfect as a weapon is, it is normal for a mana weapon to show flaws, but even though it was a fleeting moment, it was definitely outside the normal range. From then on, I was unable to respond in a business-like manner..
I seriously inspected the sword, this time increasing the amount of mana injected compared to before..
Wow!.
At first, F grade mana.
When I mastered it perfectly, I increased my mana to E grade, D grade, C grade, and so on..
Park Cheol-min's weapon devoured mana like an anglerfish, and before he knew it, it was steadily sucking up even the B-grade mana..
‘This is crazy.’
It was certain.
this weapon.
It was rated B.
Ordinary people might think of it as just a good weapon, but it was different from the perspective of the craftsman who made the mana weapon himself..
It is perfect as an iron weapon and has B-grade skill expression. In fact, it was a B grade, and the ability to accept mana itself was so amazing that it was hard to believe it was a B grade..
I swallowed dry saliva..
This is not something I can handle..
It was a matter that required calling the master right away, and Ha Seong-tae unconsciously looked at Park Cheol-min and asked carefully..
“Where did this come from??”
Even though I said it, I missed it.
There was no way I could just tell you who made this amazing thing..
however.
“This is a supply provided by the government. Is there some problem??”
“……These are supplies.?”
supplies.
Ha Seong-tae's thoughts came to a complete halt at a word he had never thought of..
* * *
Now, this situation.
As Park Cheol-min, I did not understand well..
This time, during the war against the Great Disaster, all of the subordinates who received the sword from Roman Dmitry responded with admiration..
The true value of the sword was revealed on the battlefield. Not only was the skill expression excellent, but the sword did not break or become dull no matter how many enemies it faced..
Park Cheol-min also.
completely fascinated.
That's how the war ended.
Since I have maintained the sword well, there were no special problems with its appearance, but I still went to the repair center just in case..
If there is a problem with the sword that you are not aware of. If he left it unattended and the sword broke, Park Cheol-min truly felt like his entire world would fall apart..
life as a hunter.
This was my first time seeing a weapon like this..
As much as I really cherish it, I decided to leave the repair centers in Incheon alone and visit Miracle in Seoul..
and now.
Faced with an absurd situation.
Master of Miracle.
The best craftsman of the Korean Empire.
He appeared at Ha Seong-tae's call and looked at Park Cheol-min with a serious expression..
“Let me ask you directly. The reason I came running after a month is because Park Cheol-min’s weapon is unusual. There are many weapons in the world that simply have high skill expression. Since I also have experience making A-grade weapons myself, I wouldn't have been so surprised just because the skill expression was excellent. The problem is the completeness of the sword itself. Park Cheol-min, do you know much about ‘production skills’??”
“……I don't know the details.”
“Usually everything is like that. After the apocalypse broke out, most Awakened people chose the path of hunters, but there are Awakened people like us who are excluded from combat skills. Crafting skill is a key element in creating mana weapons. Normally, in order to make an iron weapon, you have to spend a lot of time in front of a hot oven, but you cannot complete a mana weapon using this method. In the meantime, you must open the path to mana through production skills, and the grade of the mana weapon is determined according to your production skill proficiency. Thanks to this, mankind has gained powerful weapons to deal with monsters, but due to the neglect of the process of making iron weapons, the simple physical perfection of mana weapons is bound to decline..”
It was a dilemma.
When I focused on the perfection of the sword, I couldn't accept mana, and when I tried to accept mana, the perfection of the sword deteriorated..
So named craftsmen were in the spotlight..
The weapons they made showed a level of skill expression higher than Grade A, and at the same time, the performance of the weapons themselves was also outstanding..
However, there was no compromise whatsoever in Park Cheol-min’s sword..
No matter how excellent swords made by named craftsmen are, they are evaluated on the premise that they are 'mana weapons'. Regardless of the level of skill expression, Park Cheol-min's sword showed a quality that could only have been made by craftsmen who were truly devoted to swords decades ago..
blast furnace.
I couldn't believe it.
How can a sword like this be a supply item?.
“Park Cheol-min's sword boasts perfect balance. So please be honest. Where on earth did this sword come from? Unless you're crazy, there's no way you'd be distributing swords like this as supplies. If you can tell me the secret of the sword, or at least the source, I will give you a generous reward..”
The Master was convinced that Park Cheol-min was hiding the truth..
It had to be that way..
Since it was a treasure that all craftsmen would drool over, the source of the famous sword could not be explained using the word supplies..
Park Cheol-min was also embarrassed..
his sword.
It was really a supply..
Roman Dmitry produced 31 swords and distributed them to his subordinates. Although the quality of the swords was great, it was clear that they were supplies..
Of course, everyone was going crazy back then, saying it was great..
During the war, the value of the sword became more clear, but because they were not craftsmen, they did not fully know the special nature of the sword..
I had nothing to say.
Park Cheol-min kept his mouth shut..
The other party offered compensation, but it was a sensitive issue to reveal that the person who created it was Roman Dmitry..
Did you read those thoughts?.
the master said.
“I completely understand your concerns. I won't force you. If you refuse, I will accept that I have no choice. But I hope you understand why I want it so desperately. That sword. It's truly a revolution. The level of mana weapons established in this world is based on the degree of skill expression, but if the sword's perfection is also improved, the grading system will be completely different. To be honest, the distinction between grades is meaningless, and by current standards, it is B grade, but Park Cheol-min's weapon is more special than that. So, please at least tell me the source. Depending on how it is made, a technological revolution may occur..”
It was a truly earnest voice..
at last.
Park Cheol-min said after thinking for a while..
“……Other than citing the source, it is not my place to judge. Give me one day. I will think carefully about whether or not to tell you the truth as I know it..”
* * *
“……This is what happened.”
It was Kim Junhyuk..
After receiving a report from Park Cheol-min, he relayed the reported story to Roman Dmitry..
Miracle's Request.
they were desperate.
Instead of disclosing the source, he acted as if he would give me his whole liver and gallbladder if he asked for payment..
In fact, it was an unexpected situation even for Kim Jun-hyuk..
He also had no knowledge of crafting, and only knew that Roman Dmitry made an excellent sword..
I had no idea that it would irritate an organization as big as Miracle this much..
Roman Dmitry said.
“When I first learned about the Korean Empire, I thought that this country's history was truly difficult. A land surrounded by sea on three sides and filled with powerful nations. And with a small population, resources are limited. Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk. What do you think is necessary for the Korean Empire to rule the entire world from this small piece of land?.”
“A powerful military force is needed. In times of turmoil, nothing surpasses real power..”
“Yes. This country must become strong. In order for this country to become stronger rather than attracting external forces, the members of the Korean Empire need a background for their growth. That is why martial arts are passed down through direct command. Direct corps, guardian corps, 100 days. The Korean Empire will grow around these three organizations, and in the near future, it will have a military power that is unimaginable before. But it alone cannot rule the world. Although this country is strong, due to the geographical conditions of the Korean Empire, it has no choice but to rely on other countries for all its resources. It is not enough to be self-sufficient in some areas..”
Zech.
I looked away.
I could see the city outside the window.
I drew a picture in my head while changing the name of the country to the Korean Empire..
Delivering swords to direct troops was not simply a matter of giving them the weapons they needed..
“We need our own weapons. A powerful weapon that will force the world market to revolve around this country. Miracle's reaction implies such a possibility. If the sword I created changes the landscape of mana weapons, people will be scrambling to find new mana weapons in a world where survival is desperate. To the point where he came to this land across the sea and gave us everything we wanted..”
New world.
There is a huge hole in the foundation of this world..
Hunters became strong to fight against monsters, but they could not clearly explain how they became strong..
Development by system. By creating martial arts skills and experiencing numerous trials and errors, a new civilization was formed in a short period of time using a simple method called a system rather than hard work..
The production was also the same..
Mana weapons were completed through production skills, and humanity lost details instead of gaining weapons to fight monsters..
The scorching heat of the oven, the way of hitting steel, areas of sensation that must be seen and felt directly rather than through skill..
Of course, it takes a lot of effort to create a good mana weapon, but the meaning was a little different from past efforts..
I was convinced after checking the weapons in this life..
Just as the martial arts taught to the direct corps and guardians caused a stir, production technology can also cause a revolution..
Here in the Korean Empire.
Roman Dmitry dreamed of a new Dmitry.
If Dmitry's foundation was the technology to smelt steel, then in this life he also had the technology to make the Korean Empire bloom..
advancement in technology.
At the center will be the Korean Empire..
Roman Dmitry envisioned a new future that would strengthen not only military power but also the position of the Korean Empire..
blast furnace.
“Tell it to Park Cheol-min. I want you to reveal that I made that sword..”
As always.
Roman Dmitry did not hide the truth.
