65Baron Romero's Troubles (2)

Morkan.

It was a familiar name..

I worked at an iron mine for a long time, and I also heard that I was selected as a safety manager this time..

A sufficiently trustworthy person. Moreover, if Jacob brought him here on purpose, he was suitable as a spokesperson for the iron mine..

Baron Romero said.

“Yeah, I was with Roman on set.?”

“yes.”

“Tell me in detail what happened at that time. How Roman behaved when the accident occurred, why he showed interest in safety issues at the iron mine, and whether he found the solution himself. Please tell me only the truth without any lies or exaggeration..”

“All right.”

Morkan did his best..

Just as you experienced it.

Like Hans, he spoke his mind.

“The accident occurred a week after Master Roman left for work. A worker was injured in a collapse accident where the ground collapsed, and I, who was at the scene at the time, gave an order to rescue the worker in a safe manner according to the accident manual. But Master Roman had a different idea. He decided that with his ability, he could save the workers instead of taking the risk, and despite people including me trying to stop him, he went directly to the scene of the accident. That's the truth. No one forced him or anyone asked him to, but he made his own decision..”

It was like what Hans said..

Because I carried Dmitri's last name..

Roman took a risk..

Thinking of his son going down alone into the dark basement, Baron Romero unconsciously tightened his grip on the handle of the chair..

“Actually, I didn't know why you visited the iron mine. However, after personally treating the injured person, I realized how pathetic and foolish I was as I saw the master saying that he would solve the safety problem at the iron mine. Master didn't have any special intentions. He said that as the eldest son of the Dmitry family, he intended to experience first-hand what difficulties people were going through, and that since he faced safety issues, he was responsible for solving them..”

I was thrilled.

As a worker.

Morkan truly fell in love with Roman..

So even though Roman suggested it with a purpose in mind, I believed that it was really for Dmitry's people..

“From beginning to end. The way to solve the safety problem was all Master's idea. If you were to ask what kind of person you are today, I would like to say that you are the successor to the Dmitry family that I sincerely trust and want to follow..”

I poured out my sincerity.

Even though I bow my head.

The unwavering voice proved that there were no lies or exaggerations, as Baron Romero requested..

“……That's right.”

I heard everything I wanted to hear.

Baron Romero sent everyone away..

‘Not a single person is saying that Roman is not suitable as Dmitry's successor..’

Public sentiment in iron mines.

This time, I was on Roman’s side again..

I felt this as I watched Morkan speak each word carefully, out of fear that Roman might find him..

already.

To them, Roman was Dmitry's successor..

I'm in trouble.

The trend has turned.

Everyone wants Roman, but they can't make a decision yet..

Master Blacksmith.

Still, the most important opinion of the blacksmith remained..

a few days ago.

In the blacksmith shop, work was going on in front of the hot flames of the furnace, just like any other day..

“Master.”

“say.”

“The goods arrived in the name of Master Roman Dmitry. Shall I take it??”

roman.

It was a taboo word in the blacksmith shop..

Since the last incident, I tried not to mention Roman's name, but since I received a request, I had to report it to Master Hendrick..

A blacksmith who is very nervous. But Hendrick's reaction was different from expected..

“receive.”

“……yes?”

“Are your ear holes clogged? Take it.”

“Oh, I see.!”

The blacksmith hurriedly ran away..

yet.

He came with a lot of iron..

Since I couldn't take care of everything by myself, several blacksmiths joined in, and the blacksmith shop was soon filled with iron weapons and armor..

It was not an amount that could be completed in one or two days..

Considering his personal feelings toward Roman, it was natural that he should refuse, but Hendrick carefully examined the iron items with an expression of no objection..

“What a mess. How much training have you had to be like this??”

It appeared to be private soldiers following Roman..

actually.

I felt like rejecting it..

But recently my feelings toward Roman have changed a bit..

Through Jacob, he heard about the incident that occurred at the iron mine, and Roman seemed a little different when he heard that he risked his life to save the workers..

If you think about it, the argument that broke out in the blacksmith shop couldn't have been Roman's fault..

As a craftsman, he showed a complacent attitude, and it was natural for Roman to be angry..

this time.

The meaning of repayment was strong..

Since I did something wrong to Roman, I wanted to make him feel better by doing what he asked me to do properly..

so that.

I carefully examined the condition of the items..

what's the problem.

I wondered what I should do to make Roman satisfied..

however.

Hendrick, who was checking the mountain of iron, saw a sword that was missing and his eyes widened..

“……Hey, what on earth is this??!”

It was certain.

this black.

It was a famous sword not commonly found on the continent..

Hendrick is a craftsman.

Having worked hard in the blacksmith shop for decades, I was able to immediately recognize the brilliant appearance of the famous swordsman..

“Where did you get this stuff??”

I held the sword up to the light..

The twinkling light ran smoothly down the blade of the sword, and the grip of the gently rolled handle was a work of art..

The strength of the blade when I tapped it was also very appropriate..

Although it could not be said to be the best sword on the continent, it was difficult to find a sword of this level even in Dmitry, the home of blacksmiths..

Above all.

There was a point that truly impressed Hendrick..

‘Mana’s response is unusual..’

When I got the light.

It shone brightly with black light..

That meant that the ability to accept natural energy, or mana, was on a different level from other iron products..

a long time ago.

At that time, the standard for a famous sword was simply that it had a good cut and was strong, but once Emperor Alexander opened up the possibility of becoming an aura swordsman, the standards changed completely..

The basic performance of a sword became a given, and it was recognized as a famous sword depending on how well it accepted mana..

Hendrick brought his sword to the flames..

very occasionally.

For weapons with excellent mana response, dramatic phenomena would occur just by holding them in the flames..

Like right now.

Hwareuk.

Grumbling.

“……?!”

Flames engulfed the sword..

To be precise, the flames that were supposed to burn in all directions seemed to burn around the sword as if they were being pulled by a gravitational force..

To be precise, it wasn't dramatic enough to be described as being wrapped around..

However, if the effect was this much without even injecting mana, it was clear that this was something that aura swordsmen would be amazed by..

‘There was such a treasure in the world!.’

My heart was pounding..

Hendrick was proud of being the best on the continent in terms of iron handling technology..

but.

Increasing mana reactivity was a different matter..

How on earth could something like this be made?.

With the curiosity of a craftsman burning, he approached the blacksmith who had just brought the weapon and asked:.

“This sword. Whose it is?”

He knew it too.

If it's Roman's request.

Who is the owner of the famous sword?.

Nevertheless, the truth had to be confirmed, and as expected, the blacksmith said the name that Hendrick came up with..

“……It belongs to Master Roman. After retrieving all of the soldiers' weapons and armor, he entrusted the sword to me. But is there something wrong? If you give me an order now, I will return them all to Master Roman..”

“no, you don't need to.”

roman.

That name stuck in my head..

Where did you get a sword like this??

Given Dmitry's wealth, he would have surely paid a large sum of money to buy it..

So who is the person who made the sword?.

Many questions arose, and Hendrick eventually came to one conclusion..

‘Let’s ask directly where the sword came from..’

My child is worn out..

I didn't want to talk to Roman, but now I was so greedy that I had to bow my head first..

To meet Roman.

I had to process his request quickly..

Can't you just ask with a sword and no results?.

Hendrick shouted..

“Gather all the blacksmiths you can afford right now. We will have to completely finish this work in a few days.!”

Here.

Hendrick's word was law.

From that day on, the blacksmith did not know that the fire in the furnace would be extinguished until the sun set..

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Kakakang.

The blacksmith poured iron on the floor..

Chris looked genuinely surprised at the sight of the steel shining as if it were new..

“It's already over? I thought it would take at least 2 weeks since we had 30 armed forces..”

“……Same goes for me. I thought the work would be done slowly over a two-week period, but Master Hendrick's eyes wandered to see what was going on, and all the blacksmiths who could afford it were obsessed with this work..”

The blacksmith trembled..

last few days.

It was a hell of a schedule..

Night work was not enforced because it was dangerous, but we had to pound iron continuously in the blacksmith shop from sunrise to sunset..

I couldn't fully enjoy the rest time I was normally guaranteed..

The master of the blacksmith stuffs bread into his mouth in just one minute and runs straight to the forge, so how can the blacksmiths below him rest?.

After working hard for three days, I achieved the current result..

“Please be sure to ask Master Roman later. Why is Master Hendrick so worn out?.”

“i get it.”

Chris nods..

I glanced to the side and saw Roman and Hendrick having a conversation..

Hendrick's face was blank..

Although he was very tired due to working too hard, his eyes were boiling with strong enthusiasm..

“Roman. Where on earth did you get this sword? Who is the maker of the sword??”

I fired a question.

As if to answer quickly.

Even with Roman in front of him, he couldn't hide his impatient look..

At that look.

Roman smiled..

‘It's as expected.’

From the time I first entrusted the request.

Roman expected Hendrick to react like this..

The type of craftsman is the same.

When you see an attractive object, no matter what your relationship with the object's owner, you can't help but react like Hendrick did..

so that.

Roman said the answer he had thought of in advance..

“This is not a sword I got from anywhere. I made that sword myself..”

“……what?!”

Hendrick's face is filled with astonishment..

that.

It was such a shocking statement that I never dared imagine in the past few days..
