Raon followed Balkan into the workshop. There were three boxes on a table littered with miscellaneous items.
“Are these boxes ready?”
“okay.”
Vulcan smiled slightly and opened the first box. It contained gold stones that came from gold stones.
“You’ve already seen the second one.”
The second box contained gold charcoal that had been made in the old Bukmangsan charcoal kiln. Even after 5 years, there wasn’t even a single scratch.
“And the last one.”
Vulcan took a bite and opened the third box. Inside it was a gold coin slightly larger than the one in the first box.
“… “You saved me.”
Raon opened his mouth wide as he saw the third Geumgyeol.
‘I didn’t know I could have saved that.’
Since gold is the most precious metal, it is not in Myrtan Village, and even if it was, I thought they would not hand it over.
I was worried that I would have to get it from somewhere else, but Balkan saved Geumgyeol in such a short period of time. He was not a blacksmith given the title of Continent for nothing.
“Huh?”
Haran turned his head sharply as he looked at the gold in the third box.
“This was in the village?”
He muttered that it was strange and tapped Geumgyeol.
“If there was a gold grain of this size, there’s no way I wouldn’t know about it. Inspiration. “Are you sure you actually got this here?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Vulcan nodded slightly awkwardly.
“hmm? It’s really strange, why is your expression like that? Who did I get this from… .”
“noisy!”
He frowned and grabbed Haran’s head.
“Keuuk! Why are you hitting me again?”
Haran grabbed his head, fell back, and screamed.
“If you keep doing this, you’re really going to turn into a stone head!”
“It’s okay, you’re a stone-faced guy!”
Balkan kicked Haran and waved his hand as if to tell him to step down.
“Where did you get the gold?”
Raon asked, looking at the gold in the third box. Since it was my first time using a sword, I didn’t want to cause any problems.
“Because it wasn’t stolen or taken. do not worry.”
“I know that my father-in-law is not the type of person to do that. However, I thought I should at least say thank you to the person who gave it to me… .”
“This is an anonymous sponsor. “He said he didn’t want to reveal his identity.”
“Anonymous sponsor?”
“After hearing your identity and circumstances, I said I would like to sponsor you.”
“Maybe they make strange requests later…” .”
“I’m not that type of person. I swear by my name. Even if you accept this fine, no problem will arise.”
Vulcan waved his hand as if to stop asking any more questions. Although he was sweating coldly, his expression was confident. It didn’t seem like a lie.
“Then I understand.”
Raon nodded. There was no way a craftsman of Balkan’s stature would do something strange. It seemed like there was a secret, but I decided to believe it for now.
“Um, and… .”
Vulcan opened the large box below. The cold blood Runaan brought was divided into two.
“Runan.”
He handed over the large cold blood and one of the gold bullets on the table to Runan.
“Take this and go to the village chief’s workshop just below. “I told you in advance, so I will be waiting for you to come.”
Vulcan pointed to a diamond-shaped workshop just below the hill.
“They said it would take about two days for the heat to return, so go ahead and prepare the size and shape of the sword you want.”
“yes.”
Runaan stood up, taking cold blood and a gold bullet with her. Before she left she looked at Raon and nodded her head. She seemed like a sign to do well.
“Come back,”
“huh.”
When Raon smiled and waved his hand, Runan seemed to be in a good mood and jumped up and went down the hill.
“Then now it’s your turn.”
Vulcan covered the boxes and looked at Raon.
“You said before that you wanted to become an unbreakable prosecutor. “Is that idea still valid?”
“of course.”
Raon nodded. Not only has the goal not changed, but it has become more solid. He must not be discouraged by anyone in order to achieve what he wants.
“It’s nice to see consistency.”
Vulcan chuckled and placed the red iron on the table.
“This is fine iron. The iron that will become half of your sword. “It’s a little lacking in cold blood, but I think adding new ingredients will do.”
“If you say it’s a new material… .”
“There’s a turtle you brought, right?”
He pointed to the corpse of the Red Dragon Turtle, which was visible even inside the workshop.
“If you use that, fine iron will become a material that won’t be defeated by cold blood. Cold-blooded, Hwa In-cheol, and even Geum-gyeol to hold the center. “A proper sword will be born.”
Vulcan clenched his fists and smiled.
“Now tell me what shape you want.”
“I hope it’s similar to this.”
Raon took out the sword he had brought with him and held it out. A sword that is neither thick nor thin and is about one finger longer than a typical sword. Since he had to learn and master many sword techniques in the future, his sword had to be in the form of a universal sword that could use all sword skills.
“It’s ten thousand swords. Well, I think it would suit you well.”
Vulcan narrowed his eyes and nodded.
“i get it. Then come back two days later at dawn. “We start work when the heat returns.”
“Then I’ll see you in two days.”
Raon said hello to Balkan and went outside. He went straight to the village chief’s workshop, probably because he was worried about Runan.
“Father.”
Haran looked at Raon’s back and then went back into the workshop.
“What. “Why do you call me that?”
Vulcan waved his hand with an expression as if it were covered in dirt. It’s been a really long time since that guy called me father.
“I have a favor to ask.”
Haran knelt down.
“ask?”
“Let me help you make that sword.”
“Are you crazy?”
“I think I’m crazy too. But if you miss this opportunity, it will really end!”
“A guy who drinks and gambles all day would participate in something!”
“Please! Even chores are fine. It’s okay if you can’t reach the sword! Just let me stay in that workshop!”
He hit his head on the ground until it bled.
“you… “What did you see in Raon?”
“bowl.”
The dull light began to disappear from Haran’s eyes as he raised his head.
“I saw a gigantic bowl that had never been seen before.”
“hmm… .”
“The bowl is becoming thicker and harder, and I want to do my part! Please help me!”
“Whoa.”
Balkan made eye contact with Haran’s serious eyes and let out a light breath.
“It’s dawn two days later. Until then, get rid of the alcohol smell that remains on your body and your broken spirit. And if Raon refuses, I will kick him out right away.”
“okay! thank you!”
Haran lowered his head and ran outside.
“I am indeed.”
Balkan laughed as he watched Haran play for the first time in two years.
“I was hoping you would come to your senses, but I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
He whetted his appetite while looking at the village chief’s brightly lit workshop.
“Does Raon owe a debt…?” .”
***
The entrance to the casino in southern Sieghardt.
Hehehehe.
Rimmer walked out, humming. Even in the morning, the roughness that had filled his shoulders disappeared, and he was filled with the confidence of a triumphant general.
“Hmm.”
Rimmer grinned as he looked at the bag of gold coins in his hand.
“I don’t know if this worked out well.”
I didn’t have the inspiration to always win money, so for the first time in a while, I started winning money from other people. At this rate, I felt like I could keep my back warm for a while.
“First, pay back the money… No! “You can pick more tomorrow, soak more and return it.”
He clenched his fists, muttering the crazy things all gamblers say.
“Tomorrow will be just as good as today… .”
“Hey, gambler.”
As Rimmer was about to go to the tavern, a sharp voice came from behind.
“This voice is a ladleful of bluntness and a spoonful of sincerity… .”
When I looked back, there was the Heavenly Sword Grandmaster standing with his arms crossed.
“Not our Heavenly Sword Master!”
“I don’t have the slightest affection for you, so don’t talk nonsense.”
The Heavenly Sword Grandmaster frowned and shook his head.
“and! long time no see!”
“joy.”
Rimmer waved his hand as if he was happy to see him, and the Heavenly Sword Master snorted.
“I won some today, how about a drink? “I will live.”
He put his finger to his mouth and said let’s go to the bar.
“Let’s talk first.”
“Conversation is good. “Tell me a little about the mission.”
“Follow me.”
The Heavenly Sword Master snapped his fingers and moved to the outskirts of the downtown area.
“There’s nothing special here, you can just talk at the bar.”
“Just shut up and come.”
“Why is our cute Heavenly Sword Sovereign so sharp today?”
“Are you going to shut your mouth if your head is blown off by that cutie?”
“Ugh.”
Rimmer stroked his neck and swallowed.
“How far are you going! “If you want to win hard tomorrow, you have to go to bed early!”
“Everyone is here. “Because it’s here.”
The Great Lord of the Heavenly Sword stopped in an empty lot behind a downtown area where no one was likely to be.
“What kind of conversation are we having here…” 100 million.”
Rimmer’s lips trembled. I feel the energy of a natural enemy. My whole body sends a warning. Run away now.
“S-No way… .”
I turned my head to the side. A person who shouldn’t be here. The man who seemed most out of place was standing with his back against the wall.
“Go, matriarch!”
Glenn Sieghardt was looking down at him with cool eyes.
“You ignored my warning.”
“No, that’s… .”
“So I came to ‘talk’.”
“It’s not the look in the eyes of someone who wants to talk… .”
Glenn’s cold eyes, as if they were chewing my flesh at any moment, weighed down my entire body.
“Conversation isn’t just about words. There is also body communication.”
Glenn slowly raised his hand.
Rumbling!
The mystery of dark clouds appearing in the clear night sky was realized.
“Whoa, wait a minute.”
Rimmer was not embarrassed and raised his hand leisurely.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
I had predicted this situation since I borrowed money from Loen. He had predicted it, so of course he had prepared a plan for it.
‘I’m not a fool.’
I didn’t mean to be stupid and just get hit by that lightning. If you use the prepared method, you can get out of this place unharmed.
“Please listen to me.”
Rimmer slowly lowered his hand, telling him to calm down.
“You might be wondering what Raon is doing now.”
Glenn is a fool, both in name and reality. If Raon’s story is brought up, he will have no choice but to stop. It was the only way to stop the King of Northern Destruction.
“If you want to hear what he’s doing, clear the clouds first… uh?”
Rimmer opened his mouth. The dark clouds in the sky that were supposed to disappear or thin out became darker and began to emit red lightning.
‘I shouldn’t do this?’
This is not it!
“Go, matriarch! Because it’s Raon! Where did Raon go? I’ll tell you what I’m going to do! “You like Raon!”
He shouted urgently, but Glenn’s eyes became even colder, and instead of disappearing, the cloud filled with brain energy created a terrifying thunderbolt.
‘What the hell is going on!’
I never dreamed that idiot grandson would react like this. Now the only way left was to run away.
“shit!”
Rimmer tried to retreat by stepping on the step of the polar star, but before he knew it, the Great Sword of the Heavenly Sword had moved and blocked his way.
“hey! If that hits you, you’re really in trouble!
“bye. Gambler.”
As the Heavenly Sword Grandmaster smiled softly, the sky turned red.
Crumbling!
Rimmer dropped the bag of gold coins in his hand as he watched the thunderbolts pouring down.
“Strangely enough, I had good luck today… .”
***
Dawn two days later.
After confirming that the village’s geothermal heat had returned, Raon headed to Balkan’s workshop.
However, in the workshop where Vulcan was thought to be alone, Haran was located. His hair, which was fluttering like seaweed, was shaved tightly, and his eyes were full of power. It was a dramatic change considering I only saw it in two days.
“Why are you here?”
“It’s okay to ask someone to do chores or treat them like they don’t exist. “Please just let me stay in this space.”
He bowed his head deeply. His neck was shaking, perhaps because he was serious.
“Why?”
“Because I think I’ll realize something.”
Raon turned his head towards Balkan.
“Do whatever you want. “I don’t care whether that guy is there or not.”
“Well, then, let’s do some chores.”
Anyway, I was planning to bring Haran to his senses and use him as a blacksmith exclusively for the Gwangpungdan. It would be beneficial to realize something here.
“Thank you. thank you.”
Balkan patted Raon on the shoulder and smiled slightly. The sincerity of his words of gratitude was evident, as even the continental craftsman could not shake off the bond between his blood and relatives.
“Then let’s begin. Because I don’t know how long it will take. Haran!”
“yes!”
Haran ran into the workshop and started a fire in the furnace. Temperature soars in an instant. Thanks to the restoration of geothermal heat, the heat in the workshop was hotter than before.
“Push the aura you use into the two metals here.”
Vulcan pointed to the cold blood on the table and the fine iron reinforced with the shell of a red dragon turtle.
“yes.”
Raon approached the table and caught Hwa In-cheol and Cold Blood. Glacia was injected into Cold Blood, and the energy of a cartoonist was injected into Fine Cheol at the same time.
Cheeeeeeeee!
The fine iron became blazing red, and the cold blood began to sparkle white like a snowy field at dawn where no one has stepped on it.
Squeak!
When I tried to increase the light and heat by pushing in a darker and purer aura, a dark energy began to creep up. The culprit was obvious.
‘Las,’
-Why isn’t the king helping?
Perhaps because of Ras’s coldness, his cold blood, which had once been clear silver, began to become cloudy.
-You get stronger too quickly. Let the king strike a balance in the middle.
He continued to emit a cloudy energy as if he was trying to relieve his anger at the reward he received for killing the Red Dragon Turtle two days ago.
‘Whoa… .’
Raon sighed inwardly. He was just wondering, sure. It was good to prepare for this clumsy demon lord.
‘There is a tavern called Dwarf’s Hammer outside of Myrtan Village.’
-What hammer? Suddenly talking nonsense… .
‘The tavern sells a dish called whole roasted beef tongue. The skin is crispy like a cookie, the flesh is soft and tender, and the sauce is extremely rich with 50 ingredients.’
-woah… .
As soon as Lars heard those words, he stopped pushing the cold air in and drooling cold saliva from his mouth.
‘You’ve been quiet these days, so I was going to eat something and go, but I guess I’ll just have to go.’
-Bo, King Bon is generous. There’s no way you would threaten the king just because you got a good sword.
The guy put his hand on his waist. She let out a cool smile and began to pull out her tableware.
-Well, by the way, when are you going to go to that bar?
‘When I finish making the sword.’
-Hmm, the King will be waiting mercifully.
As soon as Lars heard the answer, he entered the bracelet. The sound of drooling inside could be heard up to here.
‘It’s so easy.’
Raon chuckled, erased Rath’s energy, and pushed the aura all the way into the two metals again.
“Until there.”
As he was pushing the auror into the metal like pouring water into a pot with holes, Vulcan raised his hand.
“Looking at the youthful energy in the metal, I can see how much you have grown.”
Vulcan exclaimed loudly as he felt the energy contained in the two metals.
“Suffice. “Now stay behind.”
“yes.”
Raon nodded and took a step back. Balkan threw the first gold bullet into the brazier, where a thick haze was forming.
Quaaaaa!
The haze that was once the thickness of a finger swelled to the size of an forearm, and the heat from the furnace became so intense that it was difficult to breathe.
“Whoop!”
“Keuuuuuuu!”
Even Vulkan and Haran, who had lived in front of the furnace their entire lives, were groaning from the heat.
The heat was enough to irritate the people who fell behind, so the two of them must have been feeling the pain of being burned.
Balkan threw two pieces of gold into the brazier and reached back.
“Come to your senses, and bring the fine iron first!”
“yep!”
Balkan received the fine iron from Haran and put it in the middle of the furnace.
Coo coo coo coo!
The enormous heat began to burn and melt the bright red metal.
“next!”
“yes!”
Vulcan took out the half-melted fine iron from the furnace and then put Cold Blood into the furnace. Amid the intense heat, a ray of pure cold blooms.
“Now all at once!”
“yep!”
Balkan and Haran put half-melted fine iron and cold blood into the furnace at the same time.
Even with such powerful firepower that it seemed to melt even a furnace, fine iron and cold blood did not melt easily.
Wooooow!
After a while, when the shape of the iron pieces collapsed, Vulkan took out the two metals and picked up the hammer.
Okay! Okay! Okay!
The hammering of the Balkans begins.
It is neither strong, nor fast, nor slow, nor is it out of alignment. A constant sound and a constant flow, like breathing naturally from birth. The hammering of a craftsman who had followed a single path for decades resonated in a workshop filled with heat.
gulp.
Raon swallowed dryly as he watched the soulful hammering.
Every time I heard the sound of a hammer, as if a swordsman who had reached absolute heights was swinging a sword, the hair on my head stood on end. Unable to take his eyes off him or take a breath, he just stared at Vulcan’s hammering.
Coo coo coo coo!
When the hammering begins to flow, the cartoonist stands up on his own and dances a fancy dance, and Glacia stands upright and sings an elegant song.
Okay! Okay! Okay!
The two energies ran through the mana circuit of the whole body, as if breathing with the hammer of a Vulcan, endlessly amplifying their own energy. It was a runaway storm that was difficult to control properly.
“Whoop.”
Raon couldn’t stand it anymore and sat down on the floor.
‘What I have to do now is…’ .’
If you manage the two energies clumsily, it is difficult to prevent the runaway. Now is the time to lay the foundation.
Cheeeeee!
I put down both Manga Ball and Glacia and used Ring of Fire.
The six rings of fire vibrated, gently calming the runaway energy and starting to regain some composure.
Okay! Okay! Okay!
The ring of fire, the cartoon ball, and Glacia moved as one body to the sound of the Vulcan hammer, which seemed to hit not metal but directly the soul.
Whoops! Whoops!
The sound of a hammer with a little more force than before. It was the sound of Vulcan striking the third piece of metal.
Breathing with Geumgyeol is like a ring of fire. As if answering the cry of the king of metal, the six rings resonated and a proud flow like a river unfolded.
The energy of the ring of fire, manga ball, and Glacia continued endlessly, and the heat of the Red Dragon Turtle that could not be absorbed all melted all over the body like butter.
Muscles and bones grew stronger, and the mana circuit and dantian throbbed and swelled larger.
Coo coo coo coo.
Raon fell into deep practice, feeling the joy of resonating with the external energy and internal energy as if they were connected by an invisible line.
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
Balkan was no different from Raon. Extreme immersion that goes beyond concentration. He pounded the metal endlessly, with natural blooming in his blue eyes.
As the soulful hammering continued, the fine iron, cold blood, and gold grains came together as if they were originally one metal, and a blade emitting an eerie black light began to appear.
