89. Temar’s first tomb (1)
After the incarnation, Bin learned the whole story. It was because the memories of the short time Picon incarnated remained intact.
“Uh… It’s amazing, the legendary blacksmith Picon Minche! I never imagined that I would be the blood of such a great person. I thought it was a demon, but it was the voice of God. haha.”
Bean stroked his swollen chin (Picon was incarnated, so it ended with Jin’s fist) and let out a friendly smile.
He was surprisingly in the mood to accept what had happened to him without difficulty. Even the fact that he and all of his post-Picon ancestors didn’t enjoy the benefits of being a contractor.
“Bin Blanche.”
“yes! Jin Kyung. I wasn’t in a good mood earlier, so I couldn’t greet you properly. Suddenly my body got out of control…”
“Isn’t it unfair.”
“Which one?”
“You and your ancestors made unwanted sacrifices for me.”
Bin opened his eyes wide and waved his hand.
“Aigoo, what kind of sacrifice is that? I didn’t know that I was a contractor, so I didn’t get any special benefits, but I didn’t suffer any special losses either. At least me. Besides, if the fact that I am a blacksmith’s new contract is high enough to make me a slave to Ziffle, then of course I should have kept it hidden. So, I don’t think there is any sacrifice.”
I didn’t see any special benefits, but I didn’t see any special losses either.
Bean sincerely thought so.
“Of course, if I had known from the beginning that I was a contractor, my life could have been different. It must have been with a high probability. If I had become a Blacksmith in Runkandel or belonged to the Minche Blacksmith Association, I would have lived a more prosperous life.”
“yes.”
“But is there any guarantee that it will absolutely make me happier than my current life?”
This time, Jin’s eyes widened.
“That nobody knows. If I had become a blacksmith in Runkandel, I might have died enduring the eyes of high-ranking people even though I made a lot of money. Isn’t Runkandel a scary place? The Minche Blacksmith Association may have received all sorts of envy and jealousy.”
After a brief pause, Bin shrugged his shoulders and continued talking behind his back.
“On the other hand, I love my life right now. Even though I was living under the insanely poor lord and was even kidnapped, I experienced that Kyung-jin came to save me personally… The lord is also a bit unlucky, so he’s a good person.”
“Let’s keep talking.”
“That is all.”
“From now on, Picon will strengthen Bradamante through your body because of me. It would be unfair from your point of view. If there’s anything you’d like to question me about, let me know. I will accept it as much as possible. Even if you refuse, I have no intention of punishing or harming you.”
“What are you talking about, Jin? Today, Picon-nim and I just met by chance. Didn’t you save my life, except for the fact that I was the blacksmith’s contractor?”
Bean waved his hand once more.
“So I have no complaints. Rather, it is better to think that I can repay the life I owe you.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“I can guess why you came to see me. Since only Volta didn’t send a congratulatory gift, he must have come to ask me, the staff member, about the status of the estate. But Sir Jin, please know this. Our lord has never misappropriated taxes.”
Bean had one big misunderstanding.
From his point of view, it was a coincidence that he met Picon, but it was inevitable that Jin came to see him.
In fact, Bin kept worrying about not being able to send Jin a congratulatory gift for his appointment as jockey.
I thought that Jin would not be a petty person who would care about getting a present.
Because Bin also read an anecdote about Jin in Seongguk when he was a reserve rider.
So, Bin thought that Jin might suspect the Volta family of tax embezzlement.
No matter how downtrodden it is, it doesn’t make sense that you can’t send a gift to a noble family.
Of the many families in Hufestor, except for the Volta family, where he is the butler, everyone must have sent a present to Jin.
From Bin’s point of view, it was a situation that made Jin suspicious.
“Your lord sold everything he owned to help the poor. Originally, famine continued in the barren land and thieves were rampant, so it was difficult to find a good piece of stationery, let alone a gift.”
Bin’s sudden defense aroused Jin’s absurd mind.
It didn’t seem necessary to correct his misunderstanding.
“I didn’t think the Volta family would have embezzled taxes. But like you said, I was curious about Yeongji’s situation. I wanted to support you when things get really bad.”
Then, Ben smiled and nodded his head.
“As expected, it was my fault! Thank you for recognizing Jin! Even if you take care of a land as insignificant as ours and save me from thieves… I will not forget this honor even if I die.”
Jin thought.
‘How is it… It seems that this friend’s misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger. Isn’t that a misunderstanding? As long as we can secure the blacksmith god first, we’re going to provide enough support to the Volta family.’
Not only did he secure it, but he also learned that the blacksmith’s god had been changed and that it was Solderlet’s arrangement, and he was promised to strengthen Bradamante.
It was a perfect situation for Jin.
“Then take good care of my sword.”
Bean carefully lifted Bradamante.
“I don’t know blacksmithing, so my ancestors will do it all. As long as we secure enough space for our ancestors to sharpen their swords in the former territory without anyone knowing…”
“That’s my job. While the blacksmith god is at work, I’ll take all sorts of measures to keep you from getting into trouble. In addition, we will procure support funds and relief food, including repairs to the mansion.”
“Aigo thank you. thank you!”
Looking at Bin, who lowered his head in an effort to bow, Jin smiled awkwardly.
“Is there anything else you want from me?”
“doesn’t exist. It’s already full and overflowing.”
“I can give you a lot of support as well, if you want. You must remember the conversation I had with Picon earlier. What I told Picon not to stop me from supporting you.”
“Haha, I don’t know what to do with just the words. But Jin-kyung, as I said before, I like my life. This manor, Volta’s mansion, is my home, and standing up through these difficult times is just like getting back on my feet.”
Although it was a short meeting, Jin felt a great liking for the character Bin.
You could have wanted more. He could use evil to ask for compensation for the sacrifice of his ancestors and himself.
But Bean didn’t.
“Thank you. Now go back to your house.”

Upon returning to the Garden of Swords, Jin found Petro.
“Visit the Volta estate in person tomorrow morning and support the Volta family in a modest way. Focus on gold coins and food, and don’t send troops. Be careful not to look special in the eyes of the other brothers.”
“All right.”
“And contact Tikan and request that only five reliable plainclothes garrisons be stationed on the Volta family estate.”
“Yes, Bocchan.”
When Petro left, Gilly and Murakan, who were sharing a drink, approached.
“Bocchan, where have you been?”
“Only Volta didn’t send a congratulatory gift, so I came to see what happened.”
“Since you’ve become a horse rider, are you already wielding power here and there? My kid didn’t see it that way. If you’re a fallen noble, your household life will be pretty tight. Are you stealing money from those guys?”
“Murakan-nim, the young master must have left not because he was offended, but because he thought there must be circumstances.”
“The estate is in very bad condition. I decided to apply, but I happened to meet a new blacksmith contractor there.”
“yes?”
“what?”
When Jin told them all about what had happened with Picon, the two showed interest, but quickly agreed.
“So what do you mean, kid? The reason why Growler died is unknown, and Picon, who has become the new blacksmith god, arranged a solderlet for you. Besides, the first tomb of Temar? under!”
“You must be getting involved with great beings wherever you go.”
“Now, do you meet God even in the countryside like that?”
“You two don’t seem very curious, do you?”
“Have you been like this once or twice? In Colon, I met Clam or something strange and received a mirror, and that was also solderette’s arrangement. Even when looking for a big fan on an uninhabited island in Bemont, what are you doing with the demon stone? It’s okay if it’s a blacksmith’s god. It looks like Solderlet’s planner.”
Gilly nodded quietly.
“By the way, did you mean that Picon Minche used the same ability that Captain Kingelo used?”
“okay. Strangely, the leader’s ability seemed superior, but Picon-nim also handled iron. just like he did Is this the original ability of the blacksmith god?”
“I don’t know either. My predecessor, Growler, was a closed god.”
“If that ability is unique to the blacksmith god, there is a high possibility that Growler’s death is related to Captain Kingelo. You don’t have any guesses about Captain Kingelo yet, do you?”
-[When Temar tried to kill you out of control, I was the one who stopped that friend. Muracan. You don’t remember me?]
– How dare this bastard sell someone’s name carelessly. It looks like an old demon, but Temar couldn’t have gotten along with yours. Besides, it’s a runaway, so it seems like you’ve heard of it somewhere? The thing that went crazy that day…
-[You mean it was Temar, not you?]
A conversation between Captain Kinselo and Murakan in the old uterium.
After that day, Murakan continued to search for memories.
However, no matter how much I searched in my head, I couldn’t find any memories of having a relationship with Captain Kingelo.
“Oh no. Damn, I’m going to go crazy wondering who that bastard is.”
“Anyway, since Kingelo has surfaced, his identity will be revealed. There must be many people besides us who are curious about him.”
When Murakan was frustrated, Gilly changed the subject.
“I can look forward to Picon-sama improving Bradamante, but I’m already worried about the young boy going to the place where the first head of the family was buried. I think it’s kind of dangerous. That will…”
“Don’t worry Gilly. I will go there with Murakan.”
“The blacksmith god knows what your mother doesn’t. Since there was a foreman, even if I go there, I won’t be able to say hello to Temar. Hu Temar’s first tomb…”
Murakan smiled bitterly.
He had been struggling to suppress his distressed heart since Jin first brought up the story of Temar’s grave.
“Okay, where did you say it was? Where he was buried.”
“Anzu Great Plain. It was the land of Chukon Tolderer.”
Jin said, showing the ‘key’ he received from Picon.
