66Baron Romero's Troubles (3)
This is a sword made by Roman..
I didn't believe it.
No, I couldn't believe it..
“Are you asking me to believe that now? Roman. The person you are dealing with now is Master Blacksmith of the Dmitri family. He has worked with iron all his life in this country, so he can find out whether the other person is an engineer or not without having to check the facts. And yet you mock me like this. All the rumors in the world that Roman Dmitry had changed were lies..”
His voice boiled with anger..
There was no need to even confirm the truth..
Long ago.
Roman went to the blacksmith shop to take classes for his successor..
At that time, Roman was a mess at everything, starting with the hammering, and didn't even show an attitude of learning, which made Hendrick angry..
From that day on, Roman never once set foot in the blacksmith shop..
Even though there was a separate blacksmith shop for the Dmitri family in the inner city, I did not think that Roman Dmitry, who was so absorbed in pleasure that he forgot his duty as an heir, would have grown up to be a craftsman..
The sword in front of you.
It's a famous sword.
Your skill in handling iron may be good, but the area of mana handling is the work of a craftsman who is superior to you..
It couldn't have been Roman..
Hendrick's anger burned brightly due to the sense of disconnection from the past..
however.
“Master Hendrick.”
Roman's voice was calm..
As if you understand the other person's reaction.
He looked straight into Hendrick's eyes and spoke in an unwavering voice..
“I completely understand why Master reacts that way. Just like Aura, blacksmithing skills are not something that can be created in a day or two, and if I showed enough effort at the blacksmith shop, they would have believed me. But what I said is true. I named this sword Salamander after the continent, and it is the only sword I made in the world..”
“This guy is real……!”
Hendrick's face turns red.
He was about to slap Roman, who was making fun of him, but was startled by the remark that immediately followed..
“Let me show you. How I made the sword. If you have the insight of Master Blacksmith, who represents the Dmitri family, wouldn't you know that my words are true in one action rather than in a hundred words??”
“……?!”
A hundred questions are not enough to see a sight.).
In Roman's words.
Hendrick's face was stained with embarrassment..
moved location.
Forge of Resistance.
Moving there, Roman said to Hendrick:.
“I made myself a sword to which I would entrust my life whenever there was an important fight. A sword that can perfectly utilize my current physical abilities and is of a type that matches the aura I manifest. That's how Salamander was born. As I prepared for the war with Barko, I decided I needed a new sword, and I struck the steel countless times while facing the flames of the furnace. At that time, the blacksmith shop felt like a sanctuary. I cannot stop action until the story of myself and Cheol, which no one can touch, is over. I think Master Hendrick knows that feeling well..”
“…….”
There was silence.
The face was full of dissatisfaction.
I went along and said I would show him, but I didn't like the way he seemed to sympathize with the blacksmith's feelings..
Roman is.
not a blacksmith.
He has never once shown an attitude of putting in effort, so how can we trust him just by seeing the results?.
No matter how Hendrick reacts.
Roman didn't stop talking..
“From now on, I must perform my national defense duties. In the meantime, a man named Roman Dmitry has been constantly making progress, so he recently began creating a sword to replace the Salamander. What I want to show Master Hendrick is the process of making that sword. If you don't believe me even after seeing it for yourself, I will humbly accept it even if you report it to my father and punish him..”
widely.
Arrived at the blacksmith shop.
Roman prepared for work..
Actually, there was nothing special to prepare..
Since Roman lived in the blacksmith shop every evening, the environment in which Roman worked remained the same..
slurp.
took off my top.
To fully embrace the flames of the oven..
Hendrick's expression was momentarily distorted by the father-in-law's actions that were incomprehensible to his common sense..
‘As a blacksmith, you don't even know the basics..’
I feel like it.
I wanted to turn away right away.
No need to look further.
It is safe to say that the craftsman, who was not even equipped with safety gear, did not have the attitude to treat iron with sincerity..
It was then.
A fire broke out..
And just once.
The moment Roman hit the steel with the hammer, Hendrick's expression suddenly changed..
Kaang!
cheerful sound.
Roman's muscles bulged..
I started hitting the steel in earnest, and from then on I didn't care at all about Hendrick's gaze..
‘This world and Moorim. The technology for handling iron in the two worlds is different. Since this world cannot handle mana perfectly, if a lot of investment is made in the ability of the sword itself, the martial arts company's top priority is to make the operation of energy smooth. A sword that amplifies the efficiency of energy to the maximum. It was truly called the famous sword in martial arts, and as I lived a life of struggle, I created countless swords that suited me..’
Points that Hendrick admired.
High mana reactivity was a martial arts skill..
and.
Even in Moorim, Baek Jung-hyuk was called a craftsman..
Baek Jung-hyuk's sword was a treasure of the martial arts world, and such technology created a sword called 'Salamander' in the new world..
Kaang!
Caen!
pounded steel.
A fire broke out, and my skin turned red..
Chloride Shingong.
I accepted the hot flames as is..
The process of making a sword is part of one's training, and one assimilates oneself with the sword to fully accept one's current self..
from now on.
Like I told Hendrick, I had to go to the battlefield..
didn't have much time.
I don't know what will happen on the battlefield, but there is one thing Roman can be sure of in his life so far..
‘Even there, I will reign and live..’
at least 3 months.
Roman was planning to put in the effort to create a new sword..
And when the sword is completed, it will depart for the battlefield on behalf of the Dmitri family..
I fell in love with the work..
I forgot about distracting thoughts and focused only on the sword..
A state of trance.
Roman is completely absorbed in the sword..
Is this what it feels like to be out of breath?.
Looking at Roman.
Hendrick was mesmerized..
Kaang!
Caen!
‘……Unbelievable.’
Master Blacksmith.
As he told Roman, he had an eye for recognizing craftsmen..
so that.
Seeing Roman pounding on steel without a single trace of disruption, all my common sense crumbled..
‘This is Roman Dmitry?’
I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
The Roman that Hendrick experienced clearly had no interest in blacksmithing at all, but his attitude towards steel and the sound of his hammering clearly belonged to a skilled craftsman..
That wasn't all.
The point that completely fascinated Hendrick was his unwavering posture even when facing the heat of the oven head-on..
My skin turned red..
It was obviously unbearable because it was so hot, but Roman didn't take his eyes off Kang Chul as if he were in love with him..
And then.
struck the steel.
once.
twice.
three times, four times.
My muscles wriggled as if they were about to explode..
The steady pace was like a maestro conducting the music, as if striking a hammer along a beautiful rhyme..
“What the hell is this.”
It was certain.
Roman was a craftsman.
Clearly, the realm of common sense told us that this could not be the case, but the scene unfolding before our eyes proved an undeniable reality..
If such a person is not a craftsman, then who else can be called a craftsman?.
At first, he showed an attitude of unconditionally denying Roman, but now he has fully accepted reality..
‘With this level of skill, there is enough to make a famous sword. The attitude towards steel, the speed at which the steel is struck, and the sound made when the hammer and steel collide. everything is perfect And unlike me, the sight of him completely embracing the heat of the oven with his bare body reminds me of Baron Romero's prime days. In the end, the blood doesn't go anywhere. Not Rodwell Dmitry, but his eldest son, Roman Dmitry, who comes from the blood of a blacksmith..’
gulp.
I felt thirsty.
In Roman's work.
There must be a secret to increasing mana reactivity..
Hendrick suddenly became a spectator sitting in the stands, letting go of his doubts and enjoying the performance in front of him..
time has passed.
I don't even think about stopping work.
I had no intention of stopping the work..
Until the sun completely sets.
Roman was engrossed in his work, and Hendrick watched quietly as if he were a stone..
They both knew.
already.
The meaning of proof has been lost.
Hendrick believed Roman's words to be true simply by witnessing the work..
Tuk.
work is done.
Looking at Roman's sweat-soaked figure, Hendrick spoke with a look on his face as if he were guilty of high treason..
“……sorry. You are truly the master of the sword..”
the apple was fast.
Hendrick is a craftsman.
He was very proud of himself because he had devoted his entire life to the blacksmith shop, and of course he couldn't help but get angry at the thought that Roman's comments were making fun of him..
But after confirming the truth, he changed his attitude..
If Roman was indeed the craftsman who created the Salamander, Hendrick had no choice but to love Roman, regardless of his past..
Roman laughed..
this time.
It was to clear up past bad relationships..
In order to fully settle down as Dmitry's person, I decided that I needed to improve my relationship with Hendrik..
Roman said.
“I will give you Salamander as a gift..”
“……?!”
“As you can see today, I am working on a new sword. In the past, I sold Master Hendrick's sword without permission, so I don't know if this will compensate you, but I hope you will receive the Salamander as a gift..”
In Roman's words.
Hendrick's hands were shaking..
actually.
I've wanted Salamander so much since I first saw it..
It was a new type of sword, and I had a desire to analyze Salamander and make the technology my own..
But you said I would give you a sword?.
Hendrick cleared his throat..
I remember being so angry that I couldn't like it, but I didn't want to reject it either..
“……Huh. Thank you.”
Hendrick stutters..
I didn't even refuse in the first place..
Now it's like it's his sword.
Looking at Hendrick holding Salamander in his arms, Roman realized that he was not a bad person..
Hendrick and Roman.
Roman ruined their relationship..
Although he was Dmitry's successor, he was negligent in his blacksmith work, and when he sold Master Hendrik's masterpiece, he naturally had no choice but to show a hostile attitude..
Still, Hendrick wasn't such a bad person..
As soon as he confirmed that Roman was the same type of person as him, his fiery temper disappeared like snow..
It was like that in my past life too..
People who are immersed in one field and can't come to their senses.
The only way to get them on your side was to respect their territory..
“And you are welcome to come and see my work any time..”
“……If you say so.”
Hendrick smiles brightly.
When he told Salamander that he would let him see Roman's skills, his face filled with happiness and looked like he was about to fly away..
was a simple person.
that day.
The bad relationship between Hendrick and Roman has come to an end..
and at that time.
A servant under Baron Romero's orders was looking for Hendrick's whereabouts..
