The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 556
556technology revolution (3)
Kaang-!
Kaang, Kaang-!
repetitive motion.
repeating sound.
Every time Roman Dmitry's muscles swelled and struck the steel, everything around him except the steel and himself disappeared one by one..
It was truly a trance..
It is a state that even skilled craftsmen hope to experience at least once in their lives, but Roman Dmitry was able to isolate his consciousness the moment he made up his mind..
I fell into a terrible state, cutting myself off from the world so that I could focus on just one thing..
Kaang!
Current life and past life.
I've been hammered countless times in both my lives..
Roman Dmitry concluded that modern technology was lacking, but he did not think that it was due to differences in people..
Dmitry's master Blacksmith Hendrick and Park Gwang-deok, known as the best craftsman in the Korean Empire. The difference between the two is not skill or effort..
Both were excellent craftsmen and devoted their lives to hammering, but despite their unrivaled efforts, a gap between them was inevitable..
It was a cultural difference.
It was a difference in background..
If in Hendrick's world smelting steel was treated as a priority, in Park Gwang-deok's world it was pushed to a lower priority as modern society was formed..
At the very least, manufacturing ‘weapons’ out of steel was evaluated as unsuitable for the age of guns..
Perhaps in a world where he cannot be properly recognized, Park Gwang-deok's will to not let go of the hammer even before the catastrophe broke out may be even more remarkable..
Aside from that fact.
The reason why there was such a difference was in understanding the basis of the world called ‘mana’..
The difference between understanding mana and not understanding it.
In my past life, I understood mana..
Aura and magic developed, and the theoretical system for mana was organized, so all that information was incorporated into the sword..
Blacksmiths also worked with the thought that it was not just a weapon made of iron, but a sword that accepted mana..
Technology, which at first went through numerous trials and errors like in modern times, experienced a tremendous revival during Dmitri's era..
And unlike today's life, mana was abundant there..
Even though Dmitry's artisans could not use 'mana', mana was incorporated into their actions themselves..
‘Today's artisans live in a world where technology cannot develop. Because mana was barren, mana had to be intentionally infused in the process of making mana weapons, and while mana was being manifested through the system, the concept of mana itself was not understood. Perhaps, if hundreds of years pass like this, starting with craftsmen like Park Gwang-deok, we might be able to secure technological capabilities comparable to Dmitry. Their lack of technical skills is not a lack of effort, it is just a limitation allowed to them at present..’
Kaang!
technological revolution.
brought the timing forward.
Roman Dmitry intended to make the technology that had to be perfected after numerous trials and errors blossom in this life..
For the revival of the Korean Empire?
That's also true.
But the real reason was Dmitry.
‘I wish to rule this world. Although there has been a purpose to my reign so far, it stems from my heart that does not allow even the slightest variable in the reign I desire now. Dmitry. I hope that no variables are involved in the process of bringing that world here. I hope that the powerful and absolute beings that make up this world will not dare to interfere with my purpose. I sincerely hope.’
Kaang-!
My will was swollen..
a burning desire.
Unlike his violently agitated emotions, Roman Dmitry's hammering was repeated calmly to the point of boredom..
I followed the degree.
Normally, I worked more explosively than I do now by displaying the fireworks, but the techniques I was trying to show to the craftsmen of today were areas that even ordinary people could imitate..
I don't think they can learn from just one look..
However, the sight that I saw with my own eyes will remain as the foundation of the Korean Empire..
In order to create a great power that thinks forward, Park Gwang-deok and his craftsmen had to grow into a solid foundation..
Just as Dmitry had blacksmiths.
There will be artisans in the Korean Empire..
Roman Dmitry intentionally moved mana and demonstrated a new type of work technique suitable for this life..
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of hammerings.
One day, two days, three days, time passes quickly.
When a whole week has passed like that.
Passssssss.
Roman Dmitry finally stops hammering.
* * *
last week.
Park Kwang-deok and the artisans thought.
‘Regardless of His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry's suggestion, I will definitely find out the principles of the technology by observing his work. It's not a day, it's a week. For those of us who have lived in the blacksmith shop our whole lives, it is an overflowing amount of time..’
I strengthened my will.
When Roman Dmitry started working in earnest, he showed a strong will as if he would keep his eyes on every single action..
like that.
Kaang-!
work has begun.
“and.”
“Huh.”
Everyone let out exclamations from the beginning..
I thought Roman Dmitry's work would include some skill elements, but he showed a completely standard performance. It was the domain of artisans..
Rather than using skill to quickly create something, the result was chipped away little by little through countless repeated hammerings that took time and sweat..
looked different.
Roman Dmitry.
He was a craftsman like them..
I was prejudiced against his appearance, but he actually demonstrated a work method that would be impossible unless he was a person who truly walked the path of a craftsman..
Every time I repeated the hammering, I felt the passage of time..
The amount of agony and effort that a man named Roman Dmitry went through to create a sword was like a tsunami of emotions that took my breath away..
admitted.
I had no choice but to admit it.
From then on, the craftsmen became immersed in the situation rather than trying to learn something..
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
In the swirling flames.
A strange sight appeared in the eyes of the artisans..
The red magic power was absorbed into the steel..
When Roman Dmitri struck the steel, the magical power created a violent explosion and was sucked back into the steel..
repeated hammering.
Repeated explosion of magic power.
Park Gwang-deok's eyes shook..
A sight I didn't understand at first, but I soon realized what it meant..
‘……You can make the mana of nature seep into steel with a single hammer blow. This was it. Even if you don't have to use production skills or leave a gap in the process of making iron weapons. This is the way to make a weapon that perfectly accepts mana and is also perfect as an iron weapon! Since iron weapons naturally receive mana, Emperor Roman Dmitry's sword was able to combine the strengths of both..’
I was impressed.
at the same time.
I felt at a loss..
It may seem like a very simple theory to explain, but the ability to freely manipulate mana was an area that was impossible without the use of skills..
People in today's world only deal with mana through skills..
Rather than understanding mana and controlling it, mana is only accompanied when a skill is used..
I was confused.
How on earth is this possible?.
Other craftsmen had the same reaction as Park Gwang-deok..
“……What is this?.”
“This is art. It's a state of art.”
“iced coffee.”
Everyone was completely fascinated..
forgot the purpose.
It was not that I wanted to learn a skill, but that I aspired to catch a glimpse of Roman Dmitry even for a moment..
Then I realized.
Roman Dmitry's intentions.
His work cannot be learned just by watching, and the art of mana manipulation itself was only a one-step process..
From then on, numerous steps must be taken to complete the sword..
As a craftsman who did not understand Mana, it was impossible to even imitate the steps without learning the basics..
The sun set and the sun rose again.
People didn't leave their seats as much as possible.
A technological revolution was happening before our eyes..
Knowing that a new era is coming thanks to Roman Dmitry, I captured the most memorable moments in history..
like that for a week.
When I finally stopped hammering.
Passssssss.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. please accept us.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor. please accept us.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor. please accept us.”
Led by Park Gwang-deok, the craftsmen all bowed their heads and swore an oath of loyalty..
* * *
Park Gwang-deok said.
“I realized this while watching His Majesty the Emperor's work. So far, the way we've made mana weapons has only been half-assed. Even though we know that humanity is in a dangerous situation and the way we use our skills is half-hearted, we have been ignoring reality. Please teach us. The craftsmen of the craftsman association, including myself, are eager to learn the skills that cannot be learned simply by watching. If you open a new path for us, I will gladly sacrifice my life for the Korean Empire and for His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry..”
“please accept us.”
“please accept us.”
The desire spread.
Artisans looked up to Roman Dmitry.
The moment I recognized him as a craftsman rather than the emperor of the Korean Empire, it was not a waste to sacrifice everything to him..
People of the Korean Empire.
These are craftsmen who have devoted their lives to.
To them, Roman Dmitry was the perfect person..
With a strong desire, Roman Dmitry said:.
“I know how important the role of the craftsmen who create weapons is. No matter how excellent your swordsmanship is, if you are holding a weapon that cannot cut through a monster's outer skin, your excellent swordsmanship will be of no value. In this new era, in this chaotic world, you are worth more than you think. I am Roman Dmitry. It will raise the value of artisans. will prove your existence.”
Dmitry.
Korean Empire.
Connected the link of fate.
Just as Dmitry laid a solid foundation with manufacturing technology, he hoped that artisans would become the foundation of the Korean Empire..
Park Gwang-deok and the craftsmen looked thrilled..
They have been recognized as craftsmen, but there is no one in the world who speaks of their value more than Roman Dmitry..
person who makes weapons.
Just that much.
Roman Dmitry was different.
Having experienced a past life, I knew how important the existence of artisans was..
I was overflowing with emotion..
With everyone looking up to them, Roman Dmitry spoke of a new future for them..
“It starts in one month. A technology presentation will be held to which all countries of the world are invited. Like you now, people would look up to the technology of the Korean Empire but not dare to imitate it. That was the beginning of the technological revolution. Because of the stage where you are the main characters, this country will reach a new inflection point..”
bright future.
took on the role of protagonist.
Park Kwang-deok and his craftsmen thought about emotions that cannot be expressed in words..
No matter how much time passes, they will never forget this moment of acknowledging their existence..
* * *
When the Korean Empire faced a period of upheaval..
Wang Yulong was engrossed in training..
After being defeated by the White Wizard, who changed his name to Park Min-woo, or rather, Kim Pan-seok, he spent a lot of time training himself rather than politics..
It was the same today.
He swung his sword to the point where he was drenched in sweat, and saw Xiaolong waiting for him on the other side, wiping away the sweat with a towel given by his subordinate..
“What's going on?”
“I have something to report to you..”
“say.”
I received a canteen.
While drinking water, I heard Xiaolong's voice..
“There was a small incident in the Korean Empire. A man named Park Cheol-min, a member of the Incheon government-run unit, visited Miracle, a repair center in Seoul, to repair his sword. The problem is that the sword that Park Cheol-min received as a supply was of such excellent quality that it moved the entire Korean Empire Artisan Association. As it turned out that the sword was personally made by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, an unusual current was flowing between the Korean Empire government and the artisan association..”
“……It is a sword made by His Majesty himself.?”
“yes.”
Stand tall.
Wang Yulong stopped his actions..
The reason he had his subordinates keep an eye on the Korean Empire's movements was because of his excessive loyalty to Roman Dmitry..
If anything happens, run as soon as possible..
As a descendant of the Heavenly Demon Church, he had a strong desire to show his loyalty even if the Heavenly Demon Baek Jung-hyuk did not give him any special orders..
Then.
By chance, I learned about the work of the artisan association..
It was a story that could easily be passed over, but for a moment, Wang Wei-ryong felt as if he had been struck by lightning..
‘The Heavenly Demon's Sword.’
The pupils fluctuated..
own father.
When he told the story passed down from generation to generation, there was one story that really left an impression on me..
“Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk was a craftsman who reached the highest level. Whenever the moment of decisive battle was approaching, he created a sword suitable for himself. The 39 swords thus created were called the Swords of the Heavenly Demon and were evaluated as the greatest treasures of martial arts. It is now known that everything has been lost, but at one time my wish was to wield the sword of the Heavenly Demon Baek Jung-hyuk and practice the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique..”
I was thrilled..
father's dream!
As I listened to the story, I also had a strong desire in my heart.!
I forgot for a moment.
Roman Dmitry's existence was so sudden that he recently had no time to think about the 'Sword of the Heavenly Demon'..
However, Xiaolong's report brought back my memories. At the same time, I felt a mixture of anger and jealousy..
It was his lifelong wish to use the Sword of the Heavenly Demon, but Park Cheol-min, a member of his direct division, was given the Sword of the Heavenly Demon without knowing how great its value was..
Greed was rampant..
supplies.
Some people might discount its value just because it was supplied, but Wang Weilong didn't think that way at all..
One month before the technical presentation.
“Prepare the teleportation magic circle heading to the Korean Empire right now. I have to meet Park Cheol-min in person..”
Create a buzz at the technology presentation.
Wang Wei-ryong’s departure to Korea has been decided..
