The Legend of Return
Chapter 309. Opportunity in Crisis (2)
“!!!”
The moment I opened my eyes, I was stunned.
The sword that was about to explode was engulfed in red flames.
I saw a red figure absorbing the runaway mana.
It was a fire dragon!
The Fire Spirit, the fire dragon, was sucking up the overflowing mana through the flames.
As if sucking on delicious ice cream, he naturally absorbed the magical power of the magic sword.
Whrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
A bright red fire sword was caught in his hand.
Like a lie, the sword and magic spirit became one and controlled it.
The seething energy of magical power disappeared before I knew it, and it became quiet.
The sword also found its shape as if it never did.
The runaway mana also stopped.
Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsu.
Surprisingly, the blade of the sword that was about to explode was returned to normal form by the flames of Hwaryongi.
Roar Roar Roar.
In the flames, the lizard Hwaryongi still flicked his tongue.
I burped for a long time as if I was quite satisfied.
Sparks flew in all directions.
It looked like a fireball shell.
Surprisingly, Hwaryong started to escape.
Along with the flames, his size grew slightly.
It also has a horn in the middle of its forehead.
More intense and red flames spewed out from the Fire Dragon’s body.
It was the first monster I ever saw.
I stared at the changing Hwaryongi in a daze.
At that moment, the notification sound hit my head hard.
– A low-class fire spirit has evolved into a medium-class spirit.
– By evolving the fire spirit, you have become an intermediate elemental spirit.
– A beginner blacksmith created the first magical sword. You will be given experience points that you can’t afford.
– A fire spirit low-class magical sword was born from the sacred skin of fire. The spirit king’s blessing dwelled on the sword. The fire spirit king Ygrive has begun to take notice of you.
– Blacksmith skill has become Intermediate 1.
– A level-up bonus is given to you who became an intermediate level fire elementalist.
– Become an Intermediate Blacksmith and can grant magical power to crafted items. Enchantment has been created for the blacksmith’s additional skill.
– A magic transfer skill has been created for you who have overcome the crisis of magic explosion. You can expand someone else’s magic scepter.
– Mana Stone Absorption Magic Transfer has been registered as a possessed skill of Magic Breath. As your main skill grows, it improves as well.
– Magic Hall has been expanded.
– The title has been changed to ‘The Crazy Blacksmith Who Made the Magical Sword of the Fire Spirit’.
“Huh…”
The ringing of the ringing sound made it difficult to breathe.
Unbelievably huge experience points and bonuses were given.
Intermediate Sorcerer! Intermediate Blacksmith! Level up! A magic sword that receives the skin of the spirit king! Magic hall expansion…..
What is this all about!
I swam in a sea of happiness with a huge bonus bomb.
The bonus is exhausted.
It actually happened, but I couldn’t believe it.
This is the first time I have experienced such explosive growth.
Even in common games, this kind of thunderbolt growth was not possible.
It was an incomparable rise in ability compared to when he defeated the Orc Warrior.
I was not even a beginner, but now I have become an intermediate level.
“Fire dragon…”
He affectionately called the name of the fire spirit he was grateful for.
The roaring fire dragon returned to the spirit realm in the midst of his hectic mind.
And the low-class magic sword of the fire spirit that remained in front of my eyes.
A red color emanated from the sword.
The magic stone also turned red before I knew it.
At first glance, it was far from normal. The light shadow of Hwaryongi was imprinted on the sword body.
It looked classy and quite expensive.
“A low-class magic sword of the fire spirit…”
It was a sword with the skin of the fire spirit king.
This special option was something I had never seen before.
I tried to infuse magic into the sword.
Whoops!
“Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”
Soon the sword was roaring with flames.
The magic user wasn’t hot at all, but the opponent would panic.
It was threatening just to look at.
If I could use this sword to even use fire-type magic…
My body trembled just thinking about it.
Perhaps it was because he received the skin of the fire spirit king, his hotness was different.
“You’re calling this a blessing in disguise, right?”
A series of events followed the crisis.
My whole body was shaking from the joy in my chest.
“Magic warfare is also a thing!”
I fully understood the feelings of the elementary school students unpacking the bundles of presents they received all at once.
The number of mercenaries who became soldiers increased, but in fact, there were not enough useful articles.
As an ordinary soldier, it was all about maintaining public order.
Strong knights had to be fostered to protect the territory.
There was no way the young lord of the next town would just stay there.
“If you unleash the proper swordsmanship and use magic transfer…”
There was hope in the darkness of the territory.
Over the past fortnight, I’ve been trying to somehow survive.
The answer was clear, but there was no actionable way.
But now it’s different.
As much as I tried, the reward fell without lies.
“By the way… other than Hwaryong, aren’t all the other spirits? Then….. other spirit swords too…..”
Holding the lower-class spirit sword of fire, he was locked in thought for a while.
I got greedy.
Only Fire Dragons have evolved into intermediate level spirits.
After becoming an intermediate blacksmith, I thought that it would be possible to evolve other spirits as well.
“It’s a stone~!”
Immediately summoned the wind spirit.
I wanted to go on like this all the time.
I didn’t want to stop here.
Whirling.
Sylph, the spirit of the wind, who appeared at the call.
“Do you want to be like Hwaryong?”
The wind whirled around as he nodded at the vague question.
Even pure spirits seemed to have no choice but to have a desire to grow.
“Okay, then shall we go for a run?”
I grabbed the hammer again.
Whirling.
Understanding my words, the wind spirit circled around.
Caang! Kang!
And a sledgehammer that struck hard.
The night got deeper.
I had no desire to rest.
This moment that came after life came and went.
I’m still hungry for growth!

“Crazy….. The company doesn’t care about its employees….. Redraw the blueprint? What the hell kind of research lab are you building? Ah-oh! Now that I’m old, when the cold wind blows, my legs and feet ache…”
Assistant manager Yoon So-jin, an old maid from the design team at TS Construction, had five feet sticking out of her mouth since Monday morning.
It is November, the end of autumn.
“The world won’t help me. Ha… I don’t want to go to work.”
The line seat that I had been looking forward to on the weekend was also a mess.
The guy who worked for a large company had no ambition.
Her appearance was acceptable, but she demanded that she continue to work after marriage.
And he declared that it was not possible to share childcare or household chores because of overtime work.
Even while watching the line, I spurned my seat to see her talking on the phone with her mother and reporting this and that.
“Even I’m not going to play and eat after getting married, so it would be difficult if I laid out a deck like that from the beginning~ Even if I was determined to feed my wife and children somehow, it wouldn’t be enough… Men these days are just as calculating as women~ Hehe… Are you going to die after living like this?”
Yoon So-jin, who was blown away by the company when she joined Ahn Construction, was unable to overcome the passing years.
Thirty-five this year.
There was no opportunity to advance from assistant manager.
Due to the nature of construction companies, it was not easy for women to get promoted.
Even though the name was affiliated with a large company, the Nogada characteristic was alive.
When something happened at the site, the design team had to go and live there for about a month.
It was a field environment that was not easy for women to handle.
For that reason, it was difficult to find an older female employee like Yoon So-jin at a construction company.
Yoon So-jin, who has loans remaining because of the recently purchased officetel, persevered even though it was dirty and shameful.
At least, the atmosphere at the company changed a lot with the change to TS Construction.
The ignorant get-togethers of the past have disappeared, and the treatment of female employees has seemingly changed.
“But what is wrong with the design? When I saw it, it was good…”
Yoon So-jin frowned as she pulled out a cup of Americano coffee before going to work and entered the office.
A few months ago, a design order for a local research institute was issued by a special order from the representative.
So far, Anah Construction has been focusing on government-level civil works and housing projects based on bribery.
A few years ago, the plant side technology field was added, but it was far from the architectural design team that Yoon So-jin belonged to.
Suddenly, the design for the supercomputer facility and special laboratory was handed down.
In a hurry, related companies were wanted, and the design team was mobilized to finish it with difficulty.
Since most of them went back to the outsourcing system, there were not many cases where the head office design team was put in.
The unified and unpretentious Korean housing project and the rough-and-tumble civil engineering project did not require advanced design skills.
It was a design team that subcontracted and received drinks from the upper management.
But this time, pure creativity was demanded.
Deputy Assistant Manager Yoon So-jin burned with passion like she did in her college days after a long time.
With the blueprint in mind, I went to my seat.
squirm.
‘Today is safe… I hope the drunkard general manager doesn’t come to work with sudden diarrhea!’
Headquarters of TS Construction with more than 500 employees.
There were no male employees in sight.
The team leader, who had been living in disappointment as the ignorant get-together disappeared these days, was before going to work.
The design team had a larger space than other offices.
A total of 20 employees are employed.
The company also had the most team members.
The latest CAD (Computer Aided Design) system was also fully equipped.
“Good morning everyone~”
Yoon So-jin, who belongs to the senior assistant manager, greeted the office staff who came to work with a broad smile.
There was no need to frown because they were colleagues and enemies (?) to be seen until Friday.
“Chief Yoon… you’re here.”
Gong Hye-jin, the only female successor to Yoon So-jin in the design team, accepted the greeting with a hot face.
The other employees were all staring in one direction rather than saying hello.
“what? What’s the mood like? Who got into the accident?”
The quick-witted Yoon So-jin asked Gong Hye-jin.
“Chief manager….. have you hired a new employee?”
“newcomer? It’s not the bond period yet.”
“But there is an employee in the office…”
Yoon So-jin’s eyes returned to the place where Gong Hye-jin’s gaze had moved.
knock knock knock.
A man sitting at his main CAD computer eagerly drawing and typing something.
Come to think of it, it was the first stranger I saw.
All the office staff were staring at each other as they were checking out strangers.
“who is this?”
“I don’t know….. I’ve been there since I left for work.”
“Is it a career job?”
Yoon So-jin, who was curious and had a lot of fun, approached the man.
‘wow!’
As she got closer to the man, Yoon So-jin was shocked as if her heart stopped.
Now you know why Gong Hye-jin’s face was red.
‘What is this fresh and handsome young chicken?’
Just looking at the profile of the man touching the keyboard seemed to brighten his eyes.
Appearance of a handsome young man who is said to have a good eye just by looking at it.
Old maid Yoon So-jin’s heart beat without hesitation.
Still, I had to ask myself about this situation.
The youthful handsome man didn’t care about the people around him at all.
The concentration and force of being immersed in work was no joke.
It was so frightening that they couldn’t even speak to anyone.
“I… Hey there.”
Yoon So-jin summoned courage and called out to the man.
pop.
At that moment, the man’s hand, which had been moving hard, stopped.
And…..
A young handsome man who turns his head slightly and looks back at Yoon So-jin.
A smile crept across the man’s lips.
“Mom!”
Yoon So-jin was unknowingly surprised by the man’s flower-like smile.
I was surprised by the beans and stopped looking for my mother.
The fossilized love cell was awakened by the shock.
It’s the same feeling I felt the day I heard about it with my friends.
“What are you doing?”
A question from a man with a soft, low-pitched voice.
Yoon So-jin saw the ID card the man was wearing around his neck.
‘Jang…Taesan…?’
