Video recording (2)
Jinseop received a call from Hyunsu.
He stroked his chin and thought deeply.
‘I did try injecting K-31 to treat my right hand.’
The K-31 injection is a miraculous injection that revives paralyzed nerves for several days.
Instead, it can only be used once and is used to check how well you performed before and after treatment.
This is because rehabilitation and treatment ultimately depend on how much the condition has improved compared to before.
“However, there is a condition. Medical staff must always be on standby in case of an emergency.”
-Medical staff?
“Yes, I will probably be included among those medical staff.”
Jinseop ended the call and gave a small smile.
In fact, the attending physician, Jinseop, was a very busy person and was not someone who could be used as a medical staff member on standby.
But Jinseop was also curious.
‘What kind of power does Hyun-soo have as a blacksmith?’
His curiosity was amplified.
***
Kim Jin-su, an employee of the National Museum, sighed.
Recently, a Chiljido map, a relic of Baekje, was discovered in Daejeon.
What is the Seven Branched Sword?
It is a sword with six branches attached to a single central blade.
Surprisingly, one of them was designated as a Japanese national treasure and is currently kept at Isonokami Shrine.
It was a mysterious sword that was made in Baekje, but is said to be in Japan because it was given to the King of Wa by King Geunchogo. There are many interpretations of it.
Anyway, this time, a ‘piece’ of such a map was discovered.
The problem was that the piece was nothing more than two small, branch-shaped blades.
A lacquerware that has rusted so much that its shape is unrecognizable.
Jinsoo searched for someone who could restore or reproduce the Chiljido.
But there was no such person anymore.
‘Mr. Kang Hyun-tae… … .’
Employee Kim Jin-su’s mouth was bitter.
He stood in front of the Yonggwang Sword without knowing it.
Soon, Park Gwang-hoon, the director of the National Museum, stood next to him.
“The reporters are going crazy.”
Gwanghun was our country’s greatest historian and professor.
Now in his later years, he has become the director of the National Museum.
“Can it be restored or not? Is this all our country’s restoration technology can do?” he asked.
This is what was absurd to Gwanghoon.
“Restoration? How can I restore this without a blacksmith? And I can easily do a mock restoration.”
You can take pictures using 3D technology.
“Then you might say this. Are you saying that the Baekje Chiljido was made by machine? Wasn’t the real Chiljido made by hand?”
What the National Museum needs now is a lacquerware map made by a truly master craftsman.
“What should we do?”
“… … There’s no other way, we have no choice but to display it in this form.”
As of now, this is the cleanest. Write down the name Chiljido’s Blade and then send the real Chiljido image to the monitor.
However, staff Jin-soo and museum director Gwang-hoon were people with a strong sense of professionalism.
They themselves were not satisfied.
What kind of place is a museum?
This is a place where we must vividly show people what is in history.
Sometimes it’s nice to have things the way they were, but the problem is that Chiljido only has two pieces of the blade left.
It would be difficult to show only this to those who come to the National Museum to see the real Chiljido.
At that time, Jinsu received a phone call.
He smiled happily.
“Hyunsoo, how have you been? What? Can I see the map of Chiljido…?”
Gwanghun’s face suddenly distorted.
‘Are you coming to see me through my connections?’
Do people like this appear because they are receiving so much public attention?
But I was curious.
If it were Jin-su’s usual personality, he would have immediately and coldly rejected it.
He hung up the phone and spoke cautiously.
“Can I come and see it?”
Gwanghoon’s face turned red
“You’re saying that now… … .”
“I am Kang Hyun-tae’s son.”
“what?”
Kang Hyun-tae?
Dragon Sword Restorer?
Many artifacts from national museums across the country were reborn through the hands of Kang Hyeon-tae.
The National Museum was a blessing.
‘Whatever the reason is… … .’

I thought that might be the case.
As the son of a blacksmith, he would also be interested in ancient swords.
Moreover, since there were many things left behind by the great general, it was possible to bestow this much favor.
Gwanghun agreed.
Not long after accepting the offer, Gwanghun burst into laughter as he saw the person entering the National Museum.
‘Isn’t that just a kid?’
Gwanghun was thinking of at least being in his early 30s.
Soon, a boy named Hyunsu, who had been watching him closely, spoke.
“Can I reproduce this sword?”
***
Hyunsoo understood the situation at the National Museum.
The people are very interested in the Chiljido map.
In addition, thanks to the consideration of the museum director, I was able to see a fragment of the Chiljido map.
Although it was just a piece, it was a precious object.
And restoration and reproduction. If I had to choose one of the two, I decided that reproduction would be the right choice.
“Can I reproduce this sword?”
“What? You?”
Jin-su’s expression turned bewildered, and museum director Gwang-hoon openly showed his discomfort.
“Ahem!”
“That’s a bit… … .”
Jinsoo expressed his embarrassment.
I couldn’t entrust something that might become a national treasure to an unverified person.
Then I said, “Oops.”
‘You’re not leaving it to me, are you?’
Reproduction and restoration were completely different.
Restoration means making something back to its original state or giving flesh to what remains.
On the contrary, reproduction was literally making something like it.
‘There is no particular risk on our part.’
Jinsoo has seen Hyunsoo several times.
Hyunsoo, who was a minor at the time, wasn’t like he was being reckless or anything.
Hyunsoo spoke about the conditions.
Director Park listened to the story for a moment.
In other words, what Hyun-soo is saying is to put the blade fragment and this replica together.
Director Park, who was listening to the story, showed a look of discomfort.
“… … It’s clear that we won’t suffer any losses. But this isn’t child’s play. It’s on a whole other level than what you learned from your father over his shoulder. Besides, you just said that we should keep the sculpture and the replica together. That’s a good idea, yes.”
This is what the piece originally looked like.
It’s much better than broadcasting it on video.
however.
“Do you know that although there are no more blacksmiths in the world, there are still plenty of appraisers? I was a college professor, but I also worked as an appraiser.”
In fact, there are still many competent appraisers.
“If you’re just trying it out, don’t do it. A lot of experts will come to see the replica, and if it’s not good, the press will go crazy. They’ll say, ‘Is that a replica?’”
While Jinsu was listening to the story, a certain story suddenly occurred to him.
‘Wow, this is really cool. I would have been in trouble if it weren’t for Mr. Hyun-tae! Mr. Hyun-tae, please remain as our national treasure-level master for a long time.’
At that time, Hyun-tae smiled bitterly.
‘I’m sure you’ll be okay without me.’
‘It’s okay, I can’t do it without you. Hahaha!’
‘if……?’
Jinsoo said carefully.
“How about leaving it to me?”
Director Park frowned.
Why is this guy like this today?
Of course, there is no harm in doing so.
“You never know.”
“Umm… … .”
Director Park has already warned.
However, Hyunsoo did not change his mind.
If you are not a good emotional person anyway, then you don’t have to exhibit it.
Then Hyunsoo said.
“If you are satisfied, I would appreciate it if you could give me an interview.”
Jinsoo glanced at him and looked at Director Park.
Of course, I was asking Jinsoo to do an interview.
Jinsoo quickly intervened, wondering what Director Park, who had a fiery personality, would say.
“Oh, yeah. Well, if it’s made well. Oh, can I come and watch it too?”
“Of course.”
After many twists and turns, Hyun-soo finally received approval.
***
Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
Cars are arriving at the blacksmith shop.
Those who got out of the car signed the contract written by Hyein.
The contract stated that the process of making the map and the creator would not be disclosed.
The medical staff includes Jinseop and nurse Jihye.
And at the National Museum, there is a person named Jin Su.
Again, it was decided that Ho-beom and the people he brought would do the filming.
Soon Jinseop brought the K-31 injection.
“It may feel hot when injected.”
I soon got an injection in my right hand.
Zuuuuk-
“Sigh… … .”
Hyunsoo let out a faint groan.
I feel an inexplicable strange sensation in my right hand, which I haven’t used for a long time.
In fact, my right hand has no problems at all in performing daily tasks.
Just the details, and if you overdo it, it will affect you.
After the heat subsided, Hyunsoo’s heart began to pound.
‘It’s been four years.’
And Nell and Hyein, who see Hyun-soo like that, are also heartbroken.
‘The first production video to be released to the world… … .’
That is Baekje’s Chiljido.
The Chiljido sword is a sword that has been quite controversial worldwide.
In addition, it is currently the hottest topic in Korea due to the excavation of relics.
‘If it is successfully installed… … .’
What kind of ripple effect will it have?
Also, what would be your reaction if you knew that this was the work of blacksmith Hyun?
Production began soon.
Kururur-
Everyone looks at the blazing furnace.
Smelting.
tablet.
Hyunsoo held the crimson mineral in place with tongs to forge it.
But something strange happened.
Hyun-soo’s right hand, which was about to strike, did not move.
‘This is the moment I’ve been waiting for for a long time… … .’
Cold sweat ran down Hyunsoo’s back.
For a moment, a pillar that had fallen by his own hand passes before his eyes.
And I have this sinking feeling that if I put this down, I might never be able to put it down again.
“Why are you doing that?”
Beyond the camera screen.
The group brought by Ho-beom who sees him.
They work at a broadcasting station and came at Ho-beom’s request.
“Are you scared?”
The blacksmith is afraid of forging?
Is this shoot okay?
And Jinseop, who understood the situation, said.
“Trauma… … .”
One thing that Jinseop was worried about.
Even though his right hand is now fine, past trauma still plagues Hyun-soo.
A man is watching the scene.
He was Director Park Gwan-hoon, who had just arrived.
Soon, I can hear Jinseop talking.
‘Did something like that happen?’
I think I heard it too.
The son was badly injured after rescuing Hyun-tae from the blacksmith shop.
Of course, that and blacksmithing skills are separate things.
Gwanghoon didn’t want to come at first, but he ended up coming.
Why? He was also quite curious about Chiljido Jaehyun.
But I didn’t expect it.
Actually, I didn’t do it.
He had this thought when he first saw Hyun-soo yesterday.
‘Is the kid going to use this commercially?’
Relics.
And there are national treasures that remain in the country for a long time. There are countless people who gave their lives for them.
Hyunsoo was young.
That little kid seemed to take such things lightly.
Finally, beyond the camera screen.
“Ugh!”
Hyunsoo sat down and collapsed.
“Ugh, ugh.”
He took a deep breath.
“Okay, let’s stop filming!”
“Bring me water!”
The set became noisy.
Hyunsoo, lying down, is breathing heavily.
Director Park’s mouth was bitter.
‘There’s no way it could exist.’
2040.
Everything is becoming mechanized and robots are replacing people.
The new generation no longer likes the monopolies of the past, and this also applies to jobs.
In addition, the Chiljido is a royal gift that has been preserved for over a thousand years.
‘There’s no way a young man like that could make something like that.’
Director Park turned around.
I feel ridiculous for having had even a passing hope.
at that time.
“Wait a minute, I can do it.”
A voice was heard.
***
Hyunsoo, who was breathing heavily, knew.
The blacksmithing work of reality was as important as, if not more important than, Ares.
The anxiety and fear of never being able to use my right hand again.
Hyun-soo was sure that if he couldn’t overcome this, he would never be able to hold a hammer with his right hand.
Even if your right hand gets better.
Suddenly, an anecdote about my father comes to mind.
‘Engrave it well in your mind and keep it in your heart.’
My father illustrated in the book the methods of making countless artifacts.
It’s a sad thing to say, but that’s what my father said.
‘Hyunsoo, protect history.’
It was a difficult word.
But now I can finally understand what those words mean.
“Wait a minute, I can do it.”
Rough breathing stabilizes and the body relaxes.
Everyone looks at Hyun-soo with a puzzled expression.
“Are you okay?”
“yes.”
Hyunsoo answered Jinseop’s question with a bitter smile.
And then he picked up the hammer again.
As time passed, I finally began to understand what my father meant.
There are countless relics that exist in the world.
‘Only I can reproduce and restore.’
Chiljido is one of them.
When I thought about it that way, I felt boundless confidence.
I looked around at people without realizing it.
None of these people have ever seen Hyun-soo’s real blacksmith work.
‘I want to show you.’
Hyunsoo picked up the hammer.
for the first time.
Taaaaang-
One blacksmith made history.
