Chapter 431 State of Art (1)
It was a different day than usual.
Blacksmiths who worked in the studio, merchants who sold various things on the street, and many other people flocked to the same place all at once.
The reason was none other than the news of Roman Dmitri’s work.
The news that Roman Dmitri was openly making swords made Dmitry’s people interested.
1 year ago from now.
The Marquis of Valentino once unveiled his collection.
At that time, sword experts were brought together, and the evaluation of the day became an issue for people.
“I think I know why Marquis Valentino said that the future of the sword depends on Roman Dmitri. Although the blaze is a sword made in the early days, it has the ability to crush all swords that are currently called famous swords on the market. Not to mention its strength and sharpness as an iron weapon, its ability to accept mana is simply overwhelming. To think that a weapon like this was sold for only 1200 gold. Undoubtedly, if it is on the market now, it is a weapon that should be received at least twice as much, excluding the name value.”
It was truly a compliment.
People showed interest in Roman Dmitri’s production skills in an incident that instantly recognized the high-spirited experts.
In fact, Roman Dmitri’s weapons were not a matter of being evaluated solely on their quality.
The position of being the eldest son of the Dmitri family, famous for its symbolism and iron weapons made by a swordsman who will lead the new era.
If the minimum value of the quality was more than twice the auction price, there was no mention of rarity.
and.
There was one more issue that people might be interested in with the keywords Roman Dmitri and the sword.
The source of the rumor was Dmitry’s servants.
“What kind of work is the young master doing in the studio? If you think of common sense, no matter how much you work with fire, it doesn’t make sense to have scorched marks on the walls and ceiling. But whenever Master Roman finishes work, there are always traces of the whole workshop left as if it were burnt.”
“I’ve seen it too! In the meantime, while organizing various workshops, I can assure you that there has never been a single trace left like Master Roman’s. As you said, it is clear that the level is impossible without the entire studio being burned down.”
Only a handful of people witnessed the working environment first-hand.
Most of them did not know how to work, but the chatter of the servants who were cleaning the workshop after the work strongly stimulated people’s curiosity.
Think about it. In an environment overflowing with flames, how on earth do you work after overcoming the heat?
As the testimony of the servants was added to the perfection praised by experts and the Marquis of Valentino, who is called a greedy collector, interest was bound to explode.
like that.
In the midst of many people watching, Roman Dmitri finally entered the workshop.
* * *
This was an open environment.
The door to the studio was wide open, and it was a structure where the inside situation could be fully checked from the outside.
first.
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
lit a fire in the furnace.
I put the work together by raising the heat enough, and soon I started tapping the steel in the heated space.
It was a look familiar to people.
It was not common to see the intensely wriggling muscles exposed without protective equipment, but there was nothing special yet.
It was then.
Fire!
Roaring.
“and.”
“omg.”
People exclaimed in admiration.
The flames that were stirred up by the violent hammering seemed to engulf Roman Dmitri in all directions. It was as rumored.
Roman Dmitry did not feel the heat even in the flames.
Despite being surrounded by flames, the hammering did not stop, and the silence beyond admiration captivated the people.
Gradually.
immersed in work
Roman Dmitri focused on the essence of this work, forgetting people’s eyes.
‘Alexander is an existence based on the power of the demon world. If we go to war with the Demon Realm, mankind will have to deal with beings that use such power. In order to have a minimum base to stand against them, we need the power to break down the magic of darkness.’
divine weapon.
That was the solution.
Dark magic is not common.
In many cases, simply material blows alone cannot destroy existence, so it had to be accompanied by divine power to destroy the essence itself.
For that reason, he ordered the blacksmiths to craft sacred weapons.
Mass supply of divine weapons was the first step in preparing for war against the Demon World.
Roaring.
drowned in memory
What was Alexander’s power like and what method was appropriate to break it down.
constantly reviewed.
From the point of view of the observers, it was an act of repeatedly tapping steel, but Roman Dmitri’s anguish melted into every action.
It was truly a state of ecstasy.
His head fluttered in the raging flames and his body burned red, but the hammering was steady and uninterrupted.
‘I will not add divine power to the weapon.’
during work.
Only by pouring holy water can you create a true divine weapon.
However, what Roman Dmitri was trying to produce was just an example of suggesting a solution to blacksmiths, and he had no intention of fitting it into the mold of divine power. Hendrick is a great blacksmith.
If Roman Dmitri makes a weapon against the magic of darkness in his own way, the process and result alone will suffice to find the answer.
Roaring.
The fire intensified.
The concept of time is forgotten.
Judging that he was sufficiently prepared, Roman Dmitri began to blow the energy of destruction in earnest.
‘Even in Murim, there were beings who used unknown powers like Alexander. What both the previous life and the present life have in common is that no matter where the source of power originates, the root that maintains its existence must exist. If it is completely annihilated with the energy of destruction, even beings like Alexander will never be able to survive.’
Quaang!
Roaring.
Flames flew in all directions.
The flames that received the energy of destruction fiercely resisted and vomited so much heat that you could feel the heat even outside the workshop.
Roman Dmitry held the flames strong.
Every time the steel was struck, the flames that exploded burned the entire workshop, but Roman Dmitri, surrounded by flames, did not stop hammering.
Caang!
Kaang Kaang!
It was a great sight.
In the fiercely seething flame.
Roman Dmitry continued his endless fight with himself without stepping back.

1 hour ago Kairos.
At the time of Dmitri’s chaos, Marquis Valentino was comforting his broken heart in the mansion of Kairos.
“… If I hadn’t expected it, I wouldn’t have regretted it.”
Dmitry Skirmish.
Marquis Valentino, who had participated in the fierce battle at Madame Tou Susan’s recommendation, met Susan, who apologized with a face of despair.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
Madame Tudel and Edwin Hector of each country put forward outstanding candidates, and the odds of winning were low, even if he was called Cairo’s richest man.
The problem was that I had already expected it.
For the Marquis Valentino, who used to let her imagination run wild, the sense of loss at the collapsed dream was great.
How sad is this?
Roman Dmitri, who cherishes his family terribly, would take care of himself as an in-law, and if so, he worked hard on the miraculous happiness circuit that he could secretly request a new sword, but it ended up being a vain delusion.
My heart was empty.
The Marquis Valentino, who was struggling with a sense of loss, had a place to look for whenever it was like this.
“Haa, you look beautiful whenever you look at it.”
Your very own treasure trove.
It was to look at the collection.
Blaze and the Third No-Name.
As I gazed at Roman Dmitri’s beautiful creations, I felt a deep sense of loss melt away.
It was a meaningful time for Marquis Valentino every time.
I carefully cleaned the outside of Blaze and Third No-Name in case there was any dust, and every moment I admired the thought that this work of art was my own.
as much as this time.
It was completely my own time.
No matter what problem I faced, once I checked the collection, I was able to put my mind together and start over.
however.
smart smart
“May I go in, Marquis?”
A servant’s voice came from outside the door.
I was momentarily annoyed.
It is an unwritten rule of the Valentino family that while you are in the treasure house, never disturb the sky, even if the sky falls, but a servant who has worked for Valentino for a long time dares to break it.
In my mind, I wanted to punish him right away.
However, thinking that there was a reason for knocking on the door of the treasure house despite knowing the unwritten rules, the Marquis Valentino suppressed his boiling anger and said,
“come in.”
“sorry. I knew I shouldn’t interfere, but I felt compelled to report this.”
It was strange.
Did you know that you knocked on the door?
At that time, the servant looked at him with questionable eyes, and made a remark that shocked the Marquis Valentino.
“I have heard information that His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry is openly forging swords. If I miss this period, I dare not interrupt Marquis Valentino’s time because I do not know when this opportunity will come again.”
* * *
Servant’s Punishment?
There was nothing like that.
Marquis Valentino, who gave a big prize to the servant who made the decision, hurriedly moved to the warp gate.
‘I just found out about this!’
Tears flowed.
It’s none other than Roman Dmitri.
Undoubtedly, I was impatient with the thought that I might miss the sight of a person whom I thought was the continent’s best artisan working in public.
That was impossible.
If such a terrible thing happens, nothing will be able to soothe his empty heart this time.
I hurried my steps.
He had to go to Dmitri as soon as possible, but cruelly, God did not understand his heart.
“Sorry, but you have to wait your turn.”
“Damn it!”
warp gate.
It takes time to use magic artifacts.
Due to people waiting for their turn first, Marquis Valentino was told that she would have to wait at least 4 hours, and from then on, she started to get madly anxious.
The work of making a sword does not end in a day or two.
Obviously, it would take at least ten days, but Marquis Valentino wanted to capture the whole scene from start to finish.
But it’s 4 hours.
It seemed like the sky was collapsing.
Considering the waiting time and travel time, this was truly heartbreaking for the Marquis Valentino.
Did you wait for a minute?
Eventually, the impatient Marquis Valentino broke through the line and spoke to the next person.
Fortunately, the opponent was a familiar face.
“Count Pettison! I have something really urgent, so can you give me your turn? If you’re considerate of my situation, I’ll definitely repay you later for this incident.”
Reward from the Marquis of Valentino.
It wasn’t a story to be told.
Count Pettison would have been willing to give up his turn normally, but there were circumstances that made it impossible for him this time.
“I’m sorry, but I have an important prior appointment. Don’t you know Marquis Valentino well? Keeping the appointment time is the basis of trust. I’d rather ask the person next to me… … .”
“100 gold.”
“yes?”
“Is it not enough? Then 200 gold.”
eyes widened
I still haven’t understood it in my head.
It was said that he would give that big money to simply give up his seat, but this time there was a situation where he couldn’t give it up.
however.
“500 gold. Isn’t this enough?”
“I will be happy to yield, Marquis Valentino.”
500 gold was too large a sum to refuse successive requests.
* * *
Expenditure of 500 gold.
It was too much.
When he won the bid for 1200 gold for Blaze, there was even material value left, but this time he used a huge amount simply to get a seat.
It was an amount that could not be ignored even for a super-rich man like the Marquis Valentino, but his thinking circuit itself was different from that of ordinary people in the first place.
‘This is not a simple concession, it is buying memories and experiences that I really value.’
Even 1 minute 1 second.
I wanted to capture the image of Roman Dmitri quickly.
Even if it’s an intangible value that leaves nothing behind, the reason why the Marquis Valentino is collecting so much money is to act as he pleases in a situation like this.
Thanks to this, I was able to use the warp gate immediately.
Marquis Valentino, who moved to Dmitri in an instant, hurried to the place where Roman Dmitri was working.
thump thump.
My heart raced.
Blood was boiling like crazy.
Marquis Valentino, who finally arrived on the scene, made his way through the people who stood in his way.
Those who preoccupied their seats.
Defeating them was not easy.
A shout for some.
For some, physical means.
Some even handed out money.
It was only after the Marquis Valentino’s face was drenched with sweat that he was able to take a seat with a view of the workshop.
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
blazing fire.
Roman Dmitry engulfed in flames.
in front of your eyes.
“… iced coffee.”
The moment Marquis Valentino had only imagined was being reproduced.
