Chapter 554 Technological Revolution (1)
At first, I had no idea.
Hundreds of customers visit Miracle every day, and among them, those who can be said to be really special made reservations in advance.
From the moment he opened the front door without any notice and entered, it meant that he was just such a guest.
Ha Seong-tae tried to receive guests on a daily basis, but the moment he checked the sword, he felt strange.
good.
‘Look at this.’
Feels stable in the hand.
It was unusual.
Some swords are not faithful to the shape of the sword in most cases, but this sword felt thoroughly considerate of the user.
In fact, it was a part that could be known just by looking at the appearance.
Slightly shorter than a normal longsword, the sword meant the fighting style the user pursued, and it was evident that the sword’s maker had custom-made it.
The light gently shone the blade of the sword, and the light flowed down the surface of the sword smoothly.
‘Wow.’
Exclamation leaked out.
It was solid.
The craftsman put so much effort into making it that he hadn’t seen a sword of this level of perfection recently.
But that doesn’t mean it can’t be classified as a good product.
If you simply look at the perfection of the sword, it is obviously great, but in the chaotic era of dealing with monsters, iron weapons were not evaluated simply by the sword’s ability.
Just skill expression.
Depending on how well you accept mana, the true value of a weapon can be recognized.
‘Perhaps this weapon is superior only in its perfection as a weapon. It’s an ironic reality indeed. If you increase the level of skill expression with the crafting skill, the perfection of the weapon will inevitably fall because it relies on the skill. Of course, that doesn’t mean that just because the skill expression level is high doesn’t mean that it can be designated as a high-quality weapon, but it’s very likely that this perfect shape is a weapon that you made yourself without manufacturing skills.’
past experience.
Ha Seong-tae came to a conclusion in a split second.
While checking the level of skill expression with a calm face, a shocking thing happened the moment the mana from the mana stone was drained.
anger.
“… ?!”
Mana was sucked in in an instant.
The sword shone brilliantly, and its brilliant shape meant that the sword in front of him had perfectly absorbed mana.
My mind was confused and confused.
As perfect as a weapon, it’s normal for a mana weapon to reveal flaws, but it’s a fleeting moment, but it’s definitely out of the normal range. From then on, I couldn’t respond in an official way.
Seriously examining the sword, this time I increased the amount of mana injected.
Hwaaak.
At first, F-grade mana.
Let’s digest it perfectly, E, D, C, and so on in order to increase mana.
Park Cheol-min’s weapon swallowed mana like a hungry ghost, and before he knew it, he sucked up mana equivalent to grade B.
‘This crazy.’
sure
this weapon.
It was grade B.
Ordinary people could think of it as just a good weapon, but it was different from the perspective of a craftsman who made mana weapons.
Perfect as an iron weapon, but also a B-grade skill expression. In fact, it was unbelievable that even though the horse was a B grade, the ability to accept mana itself was also a B grade.
I swallowed dry saliva.
This is not something you can afford.
It was a matter of calling the master right away, and Seong-tae Ha looked at Chul-min Park without realizing it and asked carefully.
“Where did you get this stuff from?”
I was sorry to say it.
There was no way I could tell the creator of such a great thing lightly.
however.
“It is a supply supplied by the government. Is there something wrong?”
“… Are these supplies?”
supplies.
Ha Seong-tae’s thoughts came to a complete halt at the completely unexpected word.
* * *
Now this situation.
Park Cheol-min did not understand it well.
This time, while fighting the cataclysm, all the members of the direct control who received the sword from Roman Dmitri showed admiration.
The true value of the sword was revealed on the battlefield. Not only was his skill expression outstanding, but his sword did not break or become dull no matter how many enemies he dealt with.
Park Chul-min also.
Totally fascinated.
So the war ended.
I had taken good care of the sword, so there was no special problem with the exterior, but I went to the repair center just in case.
If there is a problem with the sword that you don’t know about. If he left it unattended and his sword broke, Park Chul-min sincerely thought that he would collapse.
Life as a Hunter.
It was the first time I had a weapon like this.
As much as I really cherish it, I left the repair centers in Incheon and went to Miracle in Seoul.
And now.
I was faced with an embarrassing situation.
Miracle Master.
The best craftsmen of the Korean Empire.
He appeared at Ha Seong-tae’s call and looked at Park Chul-min with a serious expression.
“I will ask straight forward. The reason why I ran in one month is because Park Cheol-min’s weapon is unusual. There are many weapons in the world that simply have high skill expression. As I also have experience in making A-class weapons myself, I wouldn’t have been so surprised by the excellent skill expression. The problem is the perfection of the sword itself. Are you familiar with ‘production skills’, Park Cheol-min?”
“… I don’t know the details.”
“Usually everything is like that. A cataclysm broke out and most Awoken chose the path of Hunters, but there are Awoken like us who are excluded from combat ability. Crafting skill is a key factor in creating mana weapons. In general, in order to craft an iron weapon, you need to spend a lot of time in front of a hot furnace, but you cannot complete a mana weapon in this way. In the middle, you have to open the path of mana through the crafting skill, and the grade of the mana weapon is determined according to the proficiency of the crafting skill. Thanks to this, mankind has gained powerful weapons to deal with monsters, but due to the way the process of manufacturing iron weapons is neglected, the simple physical perfection of mana weapons inevitably falls.”
It was a dilemma.
If you focus on the perfection of the sword, you can’t accept the mana, but if you accept the mana, the perfection of the sword has fallen.
So named artisans were in the limelight.
The weapons they made showed a skill expression level of A or higher, and at the same time, the performance as a weapon itself was great.
However, in Park Cheol-min’s sword, there was no compromising part.
No matter how excellent the swords made by the named artisans are evaluated under the premise of being a ‘mana weapon’, Park Chul-min’s sword showed the quality that only craftsmen who really devoted themselves to swords could make decades ago, apart from the level of skill expression.
blast furnace.
I couldn’t believe it.
How could a sword like this be a supply item?
“Chulmin Park’s sword boasts a perfect balance. So please be honest. Where is the sword from? There is no way to spread a sword like this as a supply without going crazy. If you tell me the secret of the sword, or at least the source, I will give you an ample reward.”
Master was convinced that Park Chul-min was hiding the truth.
It had to be.
The source of the famous sword could not be explained with the word supply because the artisans were all mouthwatering treasures.
Park Chul-min was also embarrassed.
his sword.
It was really a supply.
Roman Dmitri produced 31 swords and distributed them to the members of his direct control. The quality of the swords was great, but it was clear that they were supplies.
Of course, even then, everyone was in a fuss about how great it was.
The value of the sword became more certain during the war, but because they were not artisans, they did not fully understand the specialness of the sword.
I had nothing to say.
Park Cheol-min kept his mouth shut.
The opponent has offered a reward, but it was a sensitive matter to reveal that the person who made this was Roman Dmitri.
Did you read that thought?
said the master.
“I fully understand what you are worried about. I won’t force you. If you refuse, I will accept that there is no choice. But I hope you understand why I want it so desperately. that sword. It is truly a revolution. The level of mana weapons established in this world prioritizes the level of skill expression, but if the level of perfection of the sword is also increased, the level system will be completely different. To be honest, the classification of grades is meaningless, and by current standards, B grade or Park Cheol-min’s weapons are more special. So please tell me at least the source. Depending on how it is made, it may even lead to a technological revolution.”
It was a very earnest voice.
at last.
Park Cheol-min said after thinking for a while.
“… It’s not a matter for me to judge other than citing the source. give me a day I will think carefully about whether or not to tell you the truth I know.”
* * *
“… This is the situation.”
It was Kim Jun-hyeok.
After being reported by Park Cheol-min, he relayed the reports to Roman Dmitri as they were.
Miracle’s request.
they were desperate
Instead of revealing the source, he acted as if he would give up his liver and gallbladder if he demanded a price.
In fact, it was an unexpected situation even for Kim Jun-hyeok.
He, too, was an outsider when it came to crafting, and knew only that Roman Dmitri simply made an excellent sword.
I had no idea that it would make a group of the size of Miracle feel so impatient.
said Roman Dmitry.
“When I first learned about the Korean Empire, I thought that the history of this country was really rough. A land surrounded by the sea on three sides and teeming with powerful nations. And even with a small population, resources are limited. Mayor Junhyeok Kim. What do you think is needed to rule the whole world with this small piece of land of the Korean Empire?”
“We need a strong military force. In our turbulent times, nothing is beyond practical power.”
“Yes. This country must be strong. In order for this nation to become strong rather than attracting external forces, the members of the Korean Empire need a background in which to grow. That is why martial arts are handed down centered on the ranks under direct jurisdiction. The 100 Days of the Guard under direct control. The Korean Empire will grow with the three organizations at the center, and in the near future it will have a military power that is unimaginable. But that alone cannot rule the world. Although this country is strong, due to the geographical conditions of the Korean Empire, it has no choice but to rely on other countries for all its resources. It is not enough to be self-sufficient to some extent.”
Shuk.
I looked away.
The city was visible through the window.
I drew a picture in my head while changing the name of the country to Daehan Empire.
Delivering the sword to the direct jurisdiction did not end with simply giving them the weapons they needed.
“We need our own weapons. A powerful weapon that will force the global market to revolve around this country. Miracle’s response implies such a possibility. If the one sword I made changes the game of mana weapons, in a world desperate for survival, people will be frantic to find new mana weapons. To the extent that they came to this land across the sea and gave us everything we wished for.”
New world.
There is a huge hole in the foundation of this world.
Hunters became stronger to fight monsters, but they couldn’t clearly explain how they became stronger.
Evolution by the system. A new civilization was formed in a short time with a simple method called a system rather than sweat and blood, such as creating martial arts and experiencing numerous trials and errors.
Production was the same.
Mana weapons were completed by production skills, and mankind lost details instead of gaining weapons to fight monsters.
The realm of the senses that you have to see and feel directly, not the skill of pounding steel.
Of course, it takes a lot of effort to create a good mana weapon, but the meaning was a little different from the effort in the past.
I was convinced while checking the current weapons.
Just as the martial arts handed down to the subordinates and guardians created a stir, manufacturing techniques can also cause a revolution.
here in the Korean Empire.
Roman Dmitry dreamed of a new Dmitri.
If Dmitri’s foundation was the art of smelting steel, he also had the art of making the Korean Empire bloom in his head.
advancement of technology.
At its center will be the Korean Empire.
Roman Dmitry drew a new future that would strengthen the position of the Korean Empire, not just military power.
blast furnace.
“Tell Chul-Min Park. Tell me that I made the sword.”
As always.
Roman Dmitry did not hide the truth.
