Episode 214. The anvil ‘Orun’ that does not turn off (1)
Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed when he saw the destroyed bracelet.
‘As expected…’
As expected.
Orun, who has the nickname ‘Undying Anvil’, was a great blacksmith who made the crown of the Dwarf King with his own hands.
After a series of events, he lost his position and was expelled from the kingdom.
A situation where all you have to do is stick to your mouth against humans while relying on alcohol for the rest of your life.
Even a small number of customers were turning their backs on such frequent enhancement failures.
Jinhyeok quickly checked Orun’s status window through the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.

[Copy condition: Orun, one of the ‘Undying Anvil’ and ‘Five Hammers’ of the Dwarf kingdom ‘Penta Horn’. Unleash the sincerity of an iron craftsman who is already worn out and sick of everything. If you do, you will be able to avenge one of his unique abilities and skills.]
[Special note: He has deep scars and is showing signs of severe alcoholism as a result.] The
word artisan is not for nothing.
Because the average skill level was over 30.
‘Compared to the individual level, those who have this level of proficiency will be counted among the entire tower.’
And in order to copy Orun’s ability, there were conditions to be achieved.
good.
I pictured in my head roughly what to do.
The first thing to do is…
Jinhyeok smiled at Orun as if he was okay.
“You must have made a slight mistake.”
“Kuhmm! That’s what I mean. Normally, I don’t make mistakes, but this time it seems that my condition was not very good. In that sense, could you give me another chance?”
Orun spat out the shameless words as if they were natural.
At this point, my conscience is not at the level of hairy hair, and even a shop specializing in Brazilian waxing refuses to do business.
but.
“It’s what Orun-nim is doing, of course we should give it more chances.”
“Hehe, thank you. As expected, you’re a true hogu… no, you’re a guest.”
“Instead, could you teach me some iron-handling techniques?”
“What? Iron?”
“Yes. Ah! Of course, I’m not asking you to tell me one by one. Just slowing down the speed is enough. Watching the best blacksmith, Orun-nim, strengthen his weapons is worth billions of dollars to me, a beginner. ”
While never ignoring them, they compliment each other in moderation and even give them a reasonable reason.
He would even feel guilty about destroying the bracelet Alice gave him… It
would be quite a burden to refuse.
“Heh heh. It’s the first time I’ve met someone who wants to learn blacksmithing skills, not combat skills. Are all players like you?”
Um…
“If all the players were like me… maybe the entire tower would turn into hell?”
Just imagining it is terrifying.
When I think of the fossilized remains giggling around.
“It means it’s a different species.”
“It’s just that you think the real skill is working with iron.”
“Puhaha! It’s been a while since I’ve felt I need to show off my skills properly. Watch closely and learn. Opportunities to see this body’s hammering don’t come very often.”
Orun exploded his madness.
And again, he fiddled with the heavy hammer engraved with runes.
“That… It’s the perfect weather for strengthening. For some reason, I feel good this time.”
It felt like a fire was kindled in the man’s heart when he was covered in dark clouds and fog and even drizzled down.
The hammer soared high into the sky once again.
Of course, the items used as materials were the various accessories worn on Elise’s body.
“Ah… no way. I made it as a commemoration of inheriting the family head…!”
Alice shouted with an expression that looked like she was going to cry at any moment, but…
“Gandeuaaaa!”
Wow!
[Enhancement failed!]
[‘Sun Ruby Ring’ destroyed!]
A dazzling spark burst out.
The result was the same this time too.
However, Orun did not give in and swung the hammer again.
“Hey!”
Kwadeuk!
[Enhancement failed!]
[‘Heart of Delsus Lake’ has been destroyed!]
“Oohhh!”
The hammer went up and down like crazy.
Slap!
And every time the smashed fragments bounced in all directions.
This place is hell.
At least for Alice.
[Enhancement failed!]
[‘Rainbow Jewel Necklace’ destroyed!]
“My, my necklace! I only take this out on really good days…!”
Elise lost her temper and ran amok, but it was already too late.
Items destroyed by the blacksmith’s hands could never be restored.
＊＊＊
It took a long time before Orun stopped hammering.
11 in total.
A whopping 11 accessories were destroyed because the enhancement failed.
No matter how thick-faced Orun was, he couldn’t lift his face in a situation like this.
“Heh, heh, heh, heh…”
Orun let out a heavy breath.
I gulped down the drink on the table, as if I was thirsty.
“Damn it… If only I was 3 days younger…”
“Are you tired already?”
“Don’t say it carelessly. Do you know how much effort this requires?”
“Even though it looks like he wields it roughly, he uses 3-4 skills in combination. The wrist snap and timing aren’t bad either.”
everything was appropriate
Even so, the reinforcement failed because of only one reason.
‘…trauma.’
most important moment.
A blacksmith of misfortune who had to lose a precious person due to his own hammering.
‘From now on, what I have to do… is to overcome that wound and restore it to its prime.’
Jinhyeok picked up a hammer from the forge.
Compared to Orun’s hammer, it was much smaller in size, but it was a good hammer that fit snugly in the hand.
“…You must have been quite capable of seeing. But, what are you trying to do with that?”
“Seeing him hammer a few times, I thought I could do it.”
“what?”
Jinhyeok’s words crumpled Orun’s forehead.
Up until now, Orun had only burst into laughter no matter what happened, but these words seemed to touch his pride.
Of course, that was also what Jinhyeok intended.
“No matter how great a blacksmith is, he’s drunk, and his hammer has emotions… Why can’t I? I’ve learned everything I can learn from hammering a dozen times.”
“It’s absurd. Are you serious?”
“Of course I mean it. You can place a bet if you want. I’ll bet this in return. Instead, if Orun loses, you’ll have to pay me one thing.”
Jinhyeok took out the wines that Alice had brought from the imperial treasury.
Each one was a treasure worthy of being called silk.
“Hmm. Surely, you’re not worried that you’ll lose, right? Well, it’s only natural that you’re scared when you keep failing like this, but…” The important thing here is to raise the corners of your mouth
about 13.5 degrees.
As if to do it wherever possible.
and.
The provocation worked correctly.
“…Good. I guess I should teach you what it means to work with metal.”
In an instant, the air changed.
The loose energy tightened in an instant.
[Orun activates his unique ability ‘Metal Breath’!]
Indeed…
Who could have thought that a production-type resident, not a combat-type, would exude such a heavy sense of intimidation?
‘If it was a normal match, I would never be able to win against Orun.’
Since Jinhyeok was close to being an all-rounder, he knew how to hammer.
If you play Go, it’s probably 4th Dan.
In terms of game, it’s about diamond tier?
It wasn’t great, but it was a level that stood out among ordinary people.
However, compared to Orun, his skills are not even up to his toes.
Even if Orun is not able to display his best skills due to past trauma.
Even so, the reason I suggested this confrontation is…
[You have achieved the copy condition!]
[Copy the unique ability ‘Metal Breath’!]
It was because I was confident that I would never lose in this confrontation in the first place.
In any sense.
“Let’s do it with this sport.”
Jinhyeok took out ‘Red Dragon Blood’ and ‘Fangs’ from the subspace inventory.
“It’s a tricky material.”
Orun crumpled his teeth.
I expected something difficult to come out, but I didn’t expect that such a difficult topic would come out.
That’s what it has to be.
The red dragon’s blood was a top-notch magic ingredient that even the court mages of the empire failed to handle.
The ‘fang’ that he wanted to strengthen through it was also a dagger made from the fangs of a high-ranking phantom beast, Pentagris.
“That way, you’ll be able to weigh your skills.”
“…Okay. So, who’s going to do it first?”
“I’ll do it first.”
Jinhyeok stepped forward.
＊＊＊
Orun snorted as he watched Jinhyeok grab the hammer.
‘What do you know about a child who dares to handle iron?’
He had lived his whole life in iron and fire.
Outstanding talent and tireless hard work.
Only when both of those things are supported will you be able to walk the path of an artisan called a blacksmith.
‘Hmm… anyway, hammering isn’t bad.’
It seemed quite plausible to cut the start at the right speed and timing.
Somehow, it seemed like a familiar hammer stroke.
‘Huh? Can you do that?’
Orun’s pupils widened and narrowed repeatedly.
If you are a beginner, you have no choice but to make mistakes.
It was because Jinhyeok was running through it as if he was too used to it.
It was to the point where I could feel a kind of age-old beauty.
‘It’s quite the way. It’s my… law.’
but. it will be there
Controlling the temperature of the fire and handling the dragon’s blood was a completely different realm.
You must understand the essence of metal and feel its breath.
In order to prevent the powerful magic material from gnawing away the iron, he had to read his mind.
‘There’s no way that guy could do that.’
It is impossible.
never.
But Orun never knew.
[Trait ‘Breath of Metal’, ‘Fire Element’ and ‘Blessing of the Stars’ are fused!]
[Fusion succeeded!]

the fact that there is a person who takes a picture of effort and talent.
