Achievements of the Blacksmith’s Tower (2)
‘Hyunsoo, would you believe that there was a sword that could cut stones?’
When Hyun-soo was fifteen, his father asked him.
Naturally, Hyunsoo asked how such a sword could exist in the world.
‘Surprisingly, there existed a sword that was said to be able to cut through rocks without damaging its blade and even bullets. This was the Damascus sword.’
‘It is said that the method of making Damascus swords was completely lost in the 15th century. Even kings in the Middle Ages tried to find out the method of making these swords, but failed. Even in the 20th century, many swordsmiths tried, but failed.’
My father smiled somewhat awkwardly.
‘This father has one dream. It is to perfect this Damascus sword better than any blacksmith in the world.’
Hyunsoo liked having a father like that.
Even though you are over 50 years old, you still have a dream you want to achieve.
‘Shall we begin?’
A sword that can cut through stone. I want to try making a Damascus sword.
Because the hammer of the blacksmith’s tower master, Dang, will surely be of great help to Hyun-soo.
Hyun-soo looked around the blacksmith shop and was amazed.
The supernatural and magical forges were completely different.
When restoring each palace, it was not necessary to use the items in the blacksmith shop.
The last time he used a proper blacksmith was at the Forge of the First Preserved Ren.
‘It was poor.’
To be honest, the conditions in the super-preserved Ren’s forge were so poor that you could see why it was called the super-preserved zone.
The hammer was so old that it was rusty, and the anvil was cracked and ready to break at any moment.
But everything was good inside the magic forge.
There was no rust, and there were no cracks in the anvil.
If you think about what Han said, he said that there are no restrictions within this.
Soon, Hyunsoo scattered dozens of materials that appeared before his eyes as holograms.
Materials for making a dagger.
As Hyunsoo chose each one, they materialized and were placed in front of him.
Then a notification came.
[You can choose the dagger you want to craft.]
[I recommend making the most basic dagger.]
According to Han, it is said that the mysterious power within can be created with the help of the system.
Otherwise, how could strangers who knew nothing be able to make daggers?
Hyunsoo said just in case.
“Damascus dagger.”
[Damascus daggers can only be made by top-tier blacksmiths or higher.]
[I recommend making the most basic dagger.]
Hyunsoo smiled bitterly.
There is a Damascus dagger in this Ares game as well.
But was that Damascus dagger made with the perfect recipe?
With that 15th century manufacturing method? No, that itself is impossible.
The method of making Damascus swords has long since been lost.
The Damascus sword that exists in Ares is also not real.
My father spent a long time trying to figure out how to make a Damascus sword.
And finally, he found the answer.
‘Hyunsoo, the Damascus method of making has completely disappeared from this world.’
Damascus was probably made in this way.
There were many speculations.
My father also couldn’t find the perfect method.
‘If it doesn’t exist, why don’t I make it?’
Why people chase Damascus swords.
If you drop a handkerchief on the blade, it will cut you.
Even if you hit a stone, the blade will not become dull.
Because it can withstand any shock.
And finally, my father completed his own Damascus sword.
‘I will teach you how to make this Damascus sword.’
It starts.
“Turn off all notifications.”
There is no need for any help from the system.
This is the only Damascus manufacturing method that my father left to me.
The furnace is burning hot.
After a certain amount of time, you can see the red liquid flowing down.
Hyunsoo started making it using the same method his father had left behind.
Taaaaang-
Taaaaang-!
Taaaaang-
As time went by and I started forging, a notification came.
[Showing the method of making a Damascus sword that defies common sense.]
[It is different from the existing established Damascus sword making method, but it is also excellent.]
It can’t be helped.

Because my father was the one who made what could be called the world’s best Damascus sword.
Taaaaang-!
Hyunsoo continued to repeat the forging process without stopping.
***
[The sword is being made using an unconventional manufacturing method that defies common sense.]
[However, even though it is different from the Damascus sword manufacturing method established in Ares, this is also excellent.]
“… … !”
Special User Management Team.
Kim Tae-seok and Lee Ji-hee showed surprised expressions.
Although it is different from the existing established Damascus sword making method, it is also excellent.
Lee Ji-hee entered information about the Damascus sword into the supercomputer Ares.
[There is no complete recipe, only hypotheses and speculations.]
[In modern times, they make Damascus swords in their own way.]
Lee Ji-hee noticed after reading the description of the supercomputer.
In the first place, this Damascus sword has become a sword closer to fiction in modern times.
It means that it cannot be made using the perfect methods of the past.
That is, in modern times it can be defined as follows.
It is as if the one who makes his own Damascus sword is the one who makes the real Damascus sword.
And then, something suddenly occurred to Lee Ji-hee.
“Team Leader, if this happens… … .”
Kim Tae-seok also nodded as his eyes met Lee Ji-hee’s.
Ares users are helped by the system.
However, with the help of the system, users also grow together.
No matter how much help they receive from the system, they still learn and gain knowledge through it.
Because of this, there are a lot of users who are at least the highest level blacksmiths and who occasionally create their own unique artifacts.
Most of those people are compensated.
But it was a little different from Hyunsoo.
Hyunsoo has now reached level 1 and is approaching the most outstanding and unique Damascus sword making among the blacksmiths.
Ares has prepared rewards for users who create their own unique creations.
But there was an interesting fact here.
“If Hyunsoo user successfully crafts that Damascus sword, will he receive the best reward among them?”
Kim Tae-seok said while looking at Hyun-soo on the monitor.
“That’s right, you will get the best reward, the soul of a blacksmith.”
“and…….”
Lee Ji-hee let out an exclamation of admiration.
The soul of a blacksmith.
A skill that will give the blacksmith the ultimate power.
Maybe Hyunsoo would get it.
***
Before we knew it, Hyunsoo’s Damascus sword was almost finished.
Hyun-soo’s father met with the world’s experts with the Damascus sword he made.
They all said the same thing.
‘Your Damascus sword is real.’
‘Even a Damascus sword made in the 15th century wouldn’t be like this.’
To that extent, my father’s Damascus sword was recognized.
But his father’s Damascus sword burned along with the forge.
Hyunsoo was already preparing for the final stage of the Damascus sword, polishing.
This Damascus sword reveals its true colors only after the polishing process.
When it was pickled for polishing, a wave pattern was formed on the black surface.
A pattern created through a manufacturing process rather than a randomly created wave pattern.
Hyunsoo slowly raised the dagger.
‘Joint venture.’
This could be said to be a collaboration between father and Hyunsu.
A blade that looks as solid as a military knife.
When I tapped my index finger, a heavy sound of “tuuuuung” rang out.
Finally, a completion notification came.
[It was made more excellently with a production method that is different from the existing production method established in Ares.]
[The grade is measured.]
[This is an epic level.]
[Please give the sword a name.]
[Talent Stone price disappears after a certain amount of time.]
“Damascus dagger.”
Hyunsoo was a bit disappointed.
This dagger was made in a magic forge and will soon be destroyed.
Although it was indeed made very well, it was disappointing that it did not go beyond the limit of epic grade.
at that time.
[Artifacts made in a new way are judged to be superior to those made in the old way.]
[Hidden Piece. One who walks the path of the blacksmith of creation.]
[Acquire the Soul of the Blacksmith Skill.]
‘The soul of a blacksmith?’
Hyunsoo made a puzzled expression.
[It is activated immediately once as a reward for obtaining the Blacksmith’s Soul.]
[The grade of the Damascus Dagger is increased by one level.]
[Damascus Dagger is upgraded from Epic grade to Unique grade.]
[Receive a reward for the first production of a Unique Grade Artifact.]
[All stats gain +3.]
[You gain 50 dexterity.]
[You gain 100 reputation.]
“… … !?”
Hyunsoo looked surprised.
‘A skill that raises the artifact’s grade by one level?’
I checked it right away.
(The Blacksmith’s Soul)
Active Skills
Rating: Legendary
Level: None
·Triggered when you create an original creation or an outstanding creation that is different from the established production method.
·It is activated when it is judged that more than a dozen of your souls, such as your attitude, effort, passion, and persistence, are contained in it.
‘Legendary rank?’
Hyunsoo was amazed.
The skill called Blacksmith’s Soul was literally a fraudulent skill.
‘What happens if this is applied to unique grades…?’
If you do that, you might be able to create a legendary artifact.
As far as Hyunsoo knows, there are currently less than a hundred legendary artifacts that have not been solved.
That is why I understand that its value is at least several hundred million.
‘Even though we didn’t get the artifact, we still got the fraud skill, so let’s be satisfied.’
As Hyun-soo left the magic forge holding the completed dagger, Han welcomed him.
“Now you can price the talent stone.”
Hyunsoo, nodding his head, stood in front of the stone of talent.
And he gripped the dagger tightly.
A dagger that I was able to make thanks to the teachings of my father.
Using that dagger, he struck the stone of talent with all his might.
Sugaaaaah-!
Hyunsoo felt it clearly.
This sound and feel.
This was clearly the sound of the stone of talent splitting apart.
yet
Oh my gosh-
The stone split in two.
Hyunsoo looked down at the Damascus dagger he was holding with a pleased expression.
And when I turned my head, I saw the former NPC Han with a look of shock on his face.
at that time.
Bam-
Suddenly the door opened and a man came in.
The man who came in was a stocky man who looked to be about fifty years old.
The only peculiar thing was that he was barefoot and was breathing heavily as if he had run out of breath.
[Sword Blacksmith’s Tower Dang Lv.375]
‘Is that guy Dang?’
Soon the man named Dang asked.
“Can I check that dagger?”
***
I was honestly surprised when Daeng came running, forgetting to put on his shoes.
The unidentified blacksmith who appeared as soon as the door opened looked so young.
Dang, breathing heavily, asked the man if he could examine the dagger.
The man casually handed the dagger to Dang.
Daeng took a deep breath to calm his breathing, which had been rising to the tip of his chin, and received the sword as he checked the information.

“… … .”
Daeng’s whole body trembled. An inexplicable thrill ran through his entire body.
He himself created a dagger of epic artifact grade 30 years ago and came to this place by becoming a legend.
At that time, the sword’s attack power was 198.
However, this dagger’s attack power was a full 100 times higher than the sword he had created.
‘No, it’s not that much. It’s just that every part of it is far superior to anything I’ve ever made!’
Dang, who was sweating coldly behind his back, soon had an idea cross his mind.
The tower builders of the Blacksmith’s Tower have been waiting for a long time.
He will succeed the throne of the former blacksmith god and finally walk the path of the new blacksmith god’s descendant!
‘perhaps…….’
The man in front of me might be the blacksmith’s god.
