Chapter 66 Baron Romero’s Trouble (3)
A sword made only by Roman.
Didn’t believe it.
no i couldn’t believe it
“Are you telling me to believe that now? Roman. The person you are dealing with is Blacksmith, the master of the Dmitri family. I’ve been dealing with iron in this land my whole life, so I can find out if the opponent is an engineer or not without checking the facts. And yet you mock me like this. Rumors that Roman Dmitri has changed in the world are all lies.”
His voice boiled with anger.
The truth didn’t even have to be checked.
Long ago.
Roman had visited the smithy for the heir class.
At that time, Roman started with hammering, everything was a mess, and he didn’t even show an attitude to learn, so he threw Hendrick into a rage.
From that day on, Roman never set foot in the forge.
No matter how much there was a blacksmith for the Dmitri family in the inner sanctum, he did not think that Roman Dmitri, who forgot his duty as an heir due to hedonism, would have grown into a craftsman.
sword in front of you.
It is a famous sword.
I don’t know what the skill to handle iron is, but the area that handles the minimum mana is the work of a craftsman who is superior to himself.
It couldn’t have been Roman.
Hendrick’s anger flared up at the gap with the past.
however.
“Master Hendrick.”
Roman’s voice was calm.
As if you understand the other person’s reaction.
He looked straight into Hendrick’s eyes and spoke in a steady voice.
“I fully understand why Master reacted that way. A blacksmith’s skill, like an aura, cannot be crafted in a day or two, and if you showed enough effort at the forge, you would have believed me. But what I said is the truth. This sword was named after the continent, Salamander, and it is the only sword I made in the world.”
“This kid is really… !”
Hendrick’s face turned red.
He was about to blow the cheek of Roman who was teasing him, but he was startled by the remark that immediately followed.
“I will show you. How I made the sword. As Master Blacksmith, who represents the Dmitri family, wouldn’t a single deed prove the truth of my words rather than a hundred words?”
“… ?!”
100 sentences are unbelievable and one sight.
in Roman’s words.
Hendrick’s face was stained with embarrassment.
moved place
Forge of resistance.
Moving there, Roman said to Hendrick.
“I forged myself a sword to entrust my life to whenever there was an important fight. A sword that can fully utilize my current physical abilities and that matches the aura I express. Salamander was born that way. As he prepared for war against Barko, he decided he needed a new sword, and faced the fire of the furnace, he struck steel countless times. At that time, the forge feels like a sanctuary. I can’t stop my actions until the story of myself and steel that no one can touch is over. I think Master Hendrick knows that feeling well.”
“… .”
It was a silent answer.
His face was full of displeasure.
He said he would show it for now, but he didn’t like the attitude of sympathizing with the blacksmith’s feelings.
Roman.
not a blacksmith
He has never shown an attitude of working hard, so how can he believe it just by looking at his daughter and the results?
No matter how Hendrick reacts.
Roman did not stop talking.
“I have to carry out my military duty from now on. In the meantime, a man named Roman Dmitri has made constant progress, so he recently started making a sword to replace the Salamander. What I want to show Master Hendrick is the process of making that sword. If you do not believe it even after seeing it yourself, then I will humbly accept it even if you report it to my father and punish him.”
widely.
Arrived at the forge.
Roman prepared the work.
In fact, there was nothing special to prepare.
Because he lived in the smithy every evening, the environment in which Roman worked remained intact.
flutter.
took off the top
To fully embrace the flames of the furnace.
In an instant, Hendrick’s expression distorted terribly at the action that was incomprehensible to the craftsman’s common sense.
‘As a blacksmith, he doesn’t even know the basics.’
like the mind.
I wanted to turn away right away.
no need to see more
It is safe to say that the craftsman, who was not even equipped with safety equipment, did not have the attitude to treat iron sincerely.
It was then.
A fire broke out.
and just once.
The moment Roman hit the steel with a hammer, Hendrick’s expression suddenly changed.
Caang!
cheerful sound.
Roman’s muscles swelled.
He started striking the steel in earnest, and from then on he didn’t care about Hendrick’s gaze at all.
‘This world and Murim. The techniques for handling iron in the two worlds are different. This world cannot handle mana perfectly, so if you invest a lot in the ability of the sword itself, Murim’s basic priority is to make the operation of Ki (氣) smooth. A sword that maximizes the efficiency of Ki. That’s what Murim called a great sword, and I made countless swords that fit me while living a life of struggle.’
A point that Hendrick admired.
High mana reactivity was Murim’s skill.
and.
Even in Moorim, Baek Joong-hyeok was called a craftsman.
Baek Joong-hyeok’s sword was the treasure of Murim, and such technology made a sword called ‘Salamander’ in a new world.
Caang!
Kang!
knocked on steel
A fire broke out and the skin burned red.
Chloride God.
He accepted the hot fire as it was.
The process of making the sword is part of the training, and assimilated the sword and self to fully accept the current self.
from now on.
As I told Hendrick, I had to leave for the battlefield.
I didn’t have much time.
I don’t know what will happen on the battlefield, but there is one fact that Roman can be sure of in his life so far.
‘Even there, I will rule and live.’
at least 3 months.
Roman was thinking of putting a lot of effort into making a new sword.
And when the sword is completed, he will go to the battlefield representing the Dmitri family.
fell in love with the work
I forgot my thoughts and focused only on the sword.
A state of trance.
Roman was completely immersed in the sword.
Is this how it feels to be out of breath?
Looking at Roman’s face.
Hendrick was stunned.
Caang!
Kang!
‘… Unbelievable.’
Master Blacksmith.
As he had told Roman, he had an eye for recognizing craftsmen.
so that.
Common sense collapsed at the sight of Roman knocking on the steel without a single point of disturbance.
‘This is Roman Dmitri?’
I couldn’t even believe it when I saw it.
The Roman experienced by Hendrick was obviously not interested in blacksmithing at all, but he was saying that the attitude towards steel and the sound of hammering were definitely those of a skilled craftsman.
And that wasn’t all.
The point that completely fascinated Hendrick was the posture that did not shake even when facing the heat of the oven from the front.
The skin turned red.
It must have been so hot that he couldn’t stand it, but Roman didn’t take his eyes off him, as if he had fallen in love with Kang Chul.
And then.
hit the steel
once.
twice.
three times four times.
My muscles twitched as if they were going to explode.
As if hitting a hammer in a beautiful rhythm, the constant speed was like a maestro conducting music.
“This is what it is.”
sure
Roman was a craftsman.
Obviously, the realm of common sense told me that it couldn’t be, but the scene unfolding right in front of my eyes proved an undeniable reality.
If such a person is not a craftsman, who can be called a craftsman?
At first, he showed an attitude of denying Roman unconditionally, but now he has fully accepted the reality.
‘With this level of skill, there is no shortage of making a famous sword. Attitude toward steel The speed at which steel is struck The sound of a hammer and steel colliding. everything is perfect And unlike me, the way he completely accepts the heat of the oven with his bare body reminds me of Baron Romero’s heyday. In the end, bloodlines don’t go anywhere. Not Rodwell Dmitri, but Roman Dmitri, the eldest son, was born with the blacksmith’s blood.’
gulp.
I was thirsty.
in Roman’s work.
There must be a secret that increased the mana response.
Hendrick suddenly became a spectator in the audience and enjoyed the performance right in front of him, letting go of his doubts.
Time passed.
Thinking of stopping work.
I had no intention of stopping the work.
until the sun goes down completely.
Roman was engrossed in his work while Hendrick watched as if he had become a mess.
they both knew
already.
The meaning of proof is lost.
Hendrick believed Roman’s words were true just by witnessing the work.
Took.
The work is done.
Looking at Roman’s figure drenched in sweat, Hendrick said with a face as if he were a high treason.
“… sorry. You are truly the master of the sword.”
Apple was quick.
Hendrick is a craftsman.
He was very proud of himself because he had dedicated his life to the forge, and he could not help but be angry at the thought that Roman’s comments were ridiculing him.
However, after confirming the truth, he changed his attitude.
If Roman was truly the artisan who made Salamander, Hendrick had no choice but to love him no matter what his past with Roman was.
Roman laughed.
this seat.
It was to clear up the evil of the past.
I decided that I needed to improve my relationship with Hendrick in order to fully settle down as Dmitri’s person.
Roman said.
“I’ll give you a salamander as a gift.”
“… ?!”
“As you can see today, I am crafting a new sword. In the past, Master Hendrick’s sword was arbitrarily sold, so I don’t know if this will be a reward, but I’d like you to accept a Salamander as a gift.”
in Roman’s words.
Hendrick’s hand trembled.
actually.
Ever since I first saw the Salamander, I really wanted it.
It was a new type of sword, and a desire to analyze the Salamander and make the skill his own arose.
But would you give me a sword?
Hendrick cleared his throat.
I remember being angry with him, so I couldn’t like it, but I didn’t want to reject it either.
“… big huh and thank you.”
Hendrick stuttered.
He didn’t even refuse in the first place.
As if it were his own sword now.
Seeing Hendrick holding Salamander in his arms, Roman knew that he was not a bad person.
Hendrick and Roman.
Their relationship was ruined by Roman.
Although he was Dmitri’s successor, he was negligent in blacksmith work and sold Master Hendrick’s masterpiece, so of course he had no choice but to show a hostile attitude.
Still, Hendrick wasn’t such a bad person.
As soon as he confirmed that Roman was the same type of person as him, his fiery temper disappeared like snow.
It was like that in a previous life.
People who are immersed in one field and cannot come to their senses.
Respect for their territory was enough to get them on their side.
“And you are welcome to come see my work any time.”
“… If you say so.”
Hendrick smiled.
When he said that he would let Salamander see Roman’s skills, his face was filled with happiness and seemed to fly away.
He was a simple man.
that day.
The bad relationship between Hendrick and Roman came to an end.
and that time.
A servant under Baron Romero’s orders was looking for Hendrick’s whereabouts.
