Chapter 555 Technological Revolution (2)
Park Chul-min had no reason to hide the truth any longer.
I told the truth to the Miracle Master, who was looking at me with anticipation because I got permission directly from Roman Dmitri.
“All of the 31 swords supplied to the direct jurisdiction were handcrafted by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. I don’t know how it was made. What is certain is that the factors that can cause the technological revolution that the Miracle Master speaks of are entirely derived from His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry.”
“… Are you asking me to believe that?”
“Didn’t you ask me to tell you the truth? Even if you don’t believe it, that’s the truth I know.”
Master’s eyes shook.
His name is Park Gwang-deok.
Even before the cataclysmic outbreak, he was called a craftsman, and he devoted his life to crafting magical weapons in the new era.
White hair and sharp eyes. To him, who considers himself a craftsman in the realm of magic weapons, the shocking truth that Park Cheol-min tells is difficult to accept.
‘This is the work of His Majesty the Emperor?’
I looked down at the object on the table.
Ordinary people wouldn’t recognize it, but I’m sure that one black mana weapon has the elements to overturn the market.
Such a treasure is the work of Roman Dmitri. Of course, I couldn’t help but be confused.
Roman Dmitry.
Emperor of the Korean Empire.
A monster that solved a great disaster with a single sword, eradicated the corrupt central government, and wiped out even Russia, a world-recognized superpower.
The current Russian government has been replaced by a new government after the dissolution of the government. They sent a message of apology to the Korean Empire, admitted defeat and took the line of a friendly Korean Empire.
Things that were unimaginable years ago have all become reality with one Roman Dmitri.
It was a truly unconventional move.
It was not common sense that Roman Dmitry was the one who wrote a new history only with his own strength, and that he even had production skills.
In the past, Lee Tae-seong had the same reaction.
No matter how much mana weapons are made through ‘crafting skills’, in the realm of crafting, countless years must be melted to create a good weapon based on perfect proficiency.
It was impossible for Roman Dmitri, who looked only in his 20s, to have both military and crafting skills.
I couldn’t believe it.
I couldn’t believe it.
but.
‘If it’s His Majesty, Emperor Roman Dmitry, it might be possible. Because he is completely beyond common sense.’
Park Gwang-deok swallowed dry saliva.
In the Korean Empire, Roman Dmitri was worshiped like a god, so even Park Kwang-deok could not deny that it was impossible.
If it was a being living in the category of common sense.
When solving catastrophes, when dealing with the central government, and when fighting Russia. According to the standards people say, they should be defeated, but Roman Dmitri won everything and created the Korean Empire.
not common sense.
believed in people
If Park Cheol-min’s words were true, Park Gwang-deok needed to somehow learn the skill of making the sword.
A method of improving the ability as an iron weapon while maintaining the level of expression of the skill.
It was a technological revolution.
I was thirsty.
got a baby
As the opponent is the opponent, Park Gwang-deok asked cautiously, suppressing his desire.
“… Could I possibly meet with His Majesty the Emperor Roman Dmitry in person?”
* * *
That afternoon.
Park Kwang-deok’s request was accepted.
Park Kwang-deok faced Roman Dmitri and spoke to the main subject after being polite as a subject.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. In the meantime, while creating countless mana weapons, I have never seen a weapon that has the strengths of an iron weapon and a mana weapon at the same time. It is the reality of the current mana weapon production market that must rely on ‘crafting skills’, but the sword created by His Majesty the Emperor was different. It is perfect as an iron weapon, and its ability to accept mana also exceeded the rating system. Please. Teach me the art.”
I did not dare to look up.
Since Roman Dmitri is an absolute presence in the Korean Empire, he continued his speech in a polite yet firm voice.
“Of course, I am not asking for a free favor. Since I am the president of the Korean Empire Craftsman Association while running Miracle, I will fully cooperate with the Korean Empire’s weapon production as the president of the association, let alone in return for money, if you pass on my skills.”
Craftsman Association.
It is a global group that exists in each country.
The Korean Empire Artisan Association is a group recognized even in foreign countries, and in fact, it fully cooperated with the Korean Empire even if it was not a transaction like now.
Still, the words are different and the law is different.
In the meantime, I simply thought of the Empire as a transaction priority for patriotism, but cooperation for the reason of compensation was another matter.
It wasn’t a bad deal.
If we get the cooperation of artisans, the Korean Empire will be able to lay a more solid foundation.
but.
Roman Dmitry thought differently.
“Your proposal is wrong from the very beginning. If my crafting skills are capable of causing a technological revolution, the beings that make up the current artisan association will be weeded out in the new era. Technology that simply relies on production skills will no longer be recognized as the best. I am the emperor of the Korean Empire. You have all the power and technology of this country, do you think it is necessary to leak the technology to the extent of accepting the tradesman’s association? Even if it takes time and does not receive help from the artisan association, the Korean Empire will soon have the world’s best technology.”
“… I won’t deny it. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor does not need our help?”
Park Gwang-deok’s complexion turned pale.
It was as Roman Dmitry said.
If a new era opens, artisans who have not mastered important skills will naturally be weeded out.
It was an unexpected development.
He thought his offer was attractive enough, but it was just the idea of a frog in a well.
“It is not necessary. It’s just excluded from priority. Miracle master Park Kwang-deok. If you accept new technology and want to develop the production environment of the Korean Empire, I am willing to teach you the technology. Of course, in the current situation, my consideration comes at the cost of one premise.”
“What is it?”
“You and Miracle, and the entire Artisan Association of the Korean Empire.”
spray the weapon
elicited a reaction.
If one day someone came along who would appreciate it, Roman Dmitry intended to put it to good use.
Just like Master Hendrick in his previous life.
A strong foundation was needed.
“I want all of you to belong to me.”
* * *
Conversation is over.
Park Gwang-deok looked up at the sky with a face that was lost in fascination.
“There is no need to take the meaning of belonging seriously. As artisans belonging to the Korean Empire, you can proceed with the production necessary for the Korean Empire from now on. In exchange, the transfer of skills will take place, and I do not intend to infringe on your freedom excessively by belonging to me. If you faithfully fulfill your role as a craftsman like you are now, I promise you in my name that you will gain wealth and honor.”
It was an unconventional proposal.
To claim the entire Craftsman Association?
It was an issue that even the president of the association could not accept hastily, but Roman Dmitri put an end to it with a shaken heart.
“I will not force it. But the time to think about it is a week from now. If I can’t come to a conclusion after a week, I’ll look for a new solution. I fully understand the confused mind. You can’t dedicate an artisan association with decades of history in an instant. If you need help deciding, come to my workshop early tomorrow. In the next week of work, you will be able to see for yourself how I craft my sword.”
one week deadline.
It was tight.
But more than the pressure of time, what embarrasses Park Kwang-deok is that he allowed to watch the production.
‘We are veterans of production. It’s not a job to steal skills just by watching them work, but boldly revealing them would mean that you can’t learn by watching. It’s impossible with normal confidence. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitri knows exactly what his skills are.’
My mouth was dry.
It wasn’t an easy decision.
Most of the artisans were free spirits, and there was not a single artisan who welcomed working in the Korean Empire.
Of course, it is true that everyone is in favor of Roman Dmitri.
There is no one who hates the hero of the Korean Empire, but it was inevitable to be cautious in deciding the future in an instant.
for now.
There was no reason to refuse the spectator.
Park Gwang-deok thought for a long time and then headed to the artisans who were waiting for him.

The next day.
Craftsmen from the Artisan Association gathered from early morning.
Like Park Kwang-deok, all of them were figures with considerable status, but they showed a distrustful gaze.
“To just show the production process. What are you thinking?”
“Isn’t this the pretext of exerting a binding force on us? As a person who respected His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, it was a pleasure to work for the Korean Empire, but I could not mentally accept being forcibly assigned to it. In the first place, the Artisan Association was created to protect each other by powerless artisans. From the moment it belongs to the state, the meaning of the artisan association will inevitably fade.”
“My thoughts are the same. And above all, I wonder if it is technical enough to dedicate the entire Artisan Association. It is true that the sword created by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitri is great, but whether or not it is clearly systematized enough to pass it on to someone else is another matter. If his speciality simply resided in the sword, only the sword he created would be special and would not lead to a technological revolution.”
Everyone had a valid opinion.
This is a major issue that will determine the future.
While showing anticipation for the new technology, he had no choice but to interpret the situation with suspicious eyes.
Park Gwang-duk said.
“I fully agree with you why you think so. But the reality we have to accept is that if His Majesty the Emperor Roman Dmitry really had that kind of technology, we will have no choice but to regress with our current technology. As the president of the artisan association, I will definitely guarantee it. The sword I checked is worth it.”
“… All right.”
“What did we say we were suspicious of? I believe in the president of the association. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry also believes.”
Swallowed the doubt.
Once I was given a chance to check.
Whatever decision you made, it wasn’t a matter of choice now.
in front of the workshop.
People flocked.
Soon after, Roman Dmitri appeared and he received greetings from the people and calmly prepared to make weapons.
Preparing a fire and organizing tools. It was a look very familiar to artisans.
Even if you use the crafting skill, since weapon crafting is done in a workshop, Roman Dmitri’s preparation process was something that artisans also had to repeat at least tens of thousands of times over several decades.
I’m done with the preparations.
The workshop was specially transformed into a structure that allows you to check the inside from the outside.
Roman Dmitri raised a hammer and glanced at the artisans looking at this place from outside the workshop.
“I will not stop you from acquiring skills while watching my work. If you can figure out the principle of technology just by looking at it, you may develop it and use it as your own. But if you accept that belonging to me is the only way not to be weeded out in the new era, express your intentions to me one week later.”
Hwaaak.
Raised mana.
This time, I’m not going to use the Chloride God’s Ball.
You will not use your own special skills, but the general crafting skills that Dmitri was based on.
using mana.
The technology that made Dmitry known as the land of blacksmiths.
‘A week from now. Regardless of the craftsmen’s choice, I will display the sword I have now made to the world. It will be an opportunity for the Korean Empire to leap into the center of the technological revolution, and just as Dmitri has the most power in the northeast, a small country called the Korean Empire will also have a status regardless of the size of the country. What I want is an intangible force that can overwhelm the world even excluding military power.’
“Whoa.”
He took a deep breath.
For an instant, silence fell.
While the artisans watched without breathing, Roman Dmitry silently revealed his will.
‘Look at it from now on. A new realm you must accept.’
Roaring.
The furnace caught fire.
In the midst of the burning fire, Roman Dmitry finally took the first hammering.
Caan-!
cheerful sound.
It was the moment when the legend of Dmitri was reproduced in a new life.
