How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 52
Chapter 13. Sibi (2)
It didn’t end with just creating the blueprint.
I had to explain why it was made.
“… … So, the pattern in this part must not be even a little bit messed up. The depth must be half an inch, and there must not be even the slightest difference. The moment there is even the slightest error, you have to make it again.”
Margin Kwang felt a headache.
When I was working as a smith in the past, was there anyone who made demands on me so bluntly?
No, there wasn’t.
Even if it was there, it wasn’t there because my head was cracked.
If there’s one problem, it’s that this Jin-sang who’s explaining things so excitedly is an indispensable person to Margin Gwang.
‘Is this the sorrow of Eul?’
Ma Jin-kwang, who had been holding back the excitement he felt for the first time in his life, said.
“Speak sensibly. You said something similar last time, so what is the meaning of this pattern? Anyway, I won’t do it, I won’t do it. Where would I do such detailed work when it’s suffocating?”
Margin Kwang preferred to create big and grandiose things rather than these detailed ones.
Of course, it’s not that I can’t do this kind of detailed work.
However, Jegal Hyunmong’s request was so delicate that it simply did not suit his temperament.
“Really? The Iron Flower Ark can’t do it. Our Dangga-chang elders would have done it.”
“……what?”
“Jegal, then why don’t you ask Dangga Chang later? It might be rude to ask something that you can’t do, since it’s not something you can do.”
“What is this girl talking about! Of course she can do it!”
“Oh, then please take care of it.”
Lim Jun-gyu thought.
‘Isn’t it because I’ve been around you that you’ve become influenced by it?’
Until recently, he was clearly an ordinary Sachon Dangga member with a slightly harsh tone.
It was thrilling to see him do it in an instant without even a glance and then strip and eat his master.
“Whew. Okay, I understand. Okay, but the fee will be quite a lot.”
“Can’t I get a discount for acquaintances? We know each other, so could you give me a discount?”
“Then you can’t give a bonus to acquaintances? Why are you trying to exploit people’s labor just because they know each other?”
“hmm.”
Somehow, I had a feeling that I had to understand it.
In the end, Jegal Hyunmong agreed to commission the production by handing over most of the wealth he had acquired from Jangwon.
“Just wait about three days. Oh, and disciple, you come in later to help.”
“yes.”
As he said that, Margin Gwang went into his workshop.
“By the way, you’ve become a great bandit while I wasn’t around.”
Jegal Hyeonmong looked at Im Jin-gyu.
When he was in the palace, he would wear a military uniform and have his hair neatly combed back, but now he was wearing a sleeveless robe made of animal skin.
He even started growing a beard, which was out of place, so now he looked like a miniature version of Margin Gwang.
“If you live here, you will become like that too… … .”
“Then I guess I shouldn’t do it.”
“hey.”
“You said Im Jin-gyu? I heard he was a disciple of the Cheongseongpa.”
When Dang Hwa-ryeong suddenly spoke to him, Im Jin-gyu blushed and nodded.
“Yes, that’s right, Madam Dang.”
“You don’t have to be so formal. You’re friends with Zhuge Liang, right?”
“No.”
“No, but.”
Dang Hwa-ryeong looked at the two people with a puzzled expression.
“Oh, weren’t we from the same country and close friends?”
“It’s more like a bad relationship. Do you know what happened in the past? When I was fetching water, Im Jun-gyu suddenly appeared… … .”
“Ahhh! Aahhh! Let’s stop talking about that!”
“We haven’t even talked about the good part yet.”
“That was a really bad part for me!? Anyway, I feel a little sorry about that time. So please shut up.”
“Is that the attitude of someone who says they are sorry?”
‘We’re close.’
Dang Hwa-ryeong looked at the two people, brushed them off as if they were nothing special, and asked.
“Anyway, I’m a disciple of the Cheongseongpa. Is it okay for me to join as Uncle Ma’s disciple? There’s no rule that says you can’t learn other martial arts, but there might be some people who don’t look upon it favorably.”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
“are you okay?”
Lim Jun-gyu nodded.
“Even though I am learning from the master, it is more like learning the work of a craftsman than learning martial arts formally.”
Lim Jun-gyu said that what he was learning was none other than the art of forging iron and lead.
Strictly speaking, you learn how to use your internal energy and control your body.
“It is said that it was created by the foreman of the ironsmith shop. It is a lifelong enlightenment of striking, bending, breaking, and melting iron, which was formed into a form of martial arts.”
“… … But isn’t that also used to break people’s heads and such?”
Lim Jun-gyu forced a smile.
“Is this not going to work?”
“Wouldn’t it be hard? Are the Cheongseongpa kids usually old farts? I ran into some of them a few times at Deungcheon-gak last time, and they’re all about discipline and stuff… … They’re the same age as me, but they’re so damn picky.”

“Isn’t that because the daughter-in-law of the party is breaking the rules?”
“What did you say? You little punk.”
In an instant, Tang Hwa-ryeong opened his eyes wide and tapped Jegal Hyun-mong on the back with his healthy left arm.
“Ouch! Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?”
“Because you can’t say it with your mouth?”
“No, what kind of nonsense is this… …. No, don’t just watch and help me! Im Jun-gyu!”
Lim Jun-gyu looked at the two people with rotten eyes and thought to himself.
‘i envy you.’
* * *
“Well, then let’s begin.”
And a week passed.
Jegal Xuanmong returned to Chengdu.
‘That’s okay. It was worth provoking.’
Ma Jin-kwang, who had been making something without showing his face for three days, showed the finished product to Jegal Hyun-mong while blowing air from his nose, and Jegal Hyun-mong was greatly satisfied with its quality.
‘I’ll have to ask Lady Tang more often in the future. She’s very useful.’
Jegal Hyunmong looked at the still, herbal medicine pot, and filter in front of him, feeling sorry for the two people, Ma Jin-gwang and Dang Hwa-ryeong.
It was none other than the alchemy tool used in the alchemy class in the dream.
Allen was surprisingly a student who was quite beloved by the alchemy professor. Thanks to him, Jegal Hyunmong was also able to gain various knowledge of alchemy.
Of course, in the Central Plains, it was not easy to obtain even the most trivial materials that were taught in class. Before that, it was questionable whether the same materials were available because the ecology was different.
Of course, there are things that have a similar effect.
‘That’s hard to find.’
Materials that have been accumulated over a long period of time, such as internal energy from unknown spirits, ginseng, and hundred-year-old water ginseng.
But alchemy wasn’t just about making things with that kind of stuff.
Rather, isn’t alchemy the process of dismantling and reconstructing things using common materials found everywhere?
And what Jegal Hyunmong wanted to create now was a cure.
In the dream, the alchemy professor mixed unknown blood, gallstones, and herbs to create a red, sparkling liquid.
When I applied it, surprisingly, the torn wounds began to bubble and heal in an instant, and it even seemed to have the effect of healing internal injuries.
It may not be possible to create something like that, but even if that is not possible, it seems quite possible to maximize the medicinal properties of existing herbs.
“Let’s see.”
Jegal Hyunmong lightly waved his magic wand and began to move the herbs he had gathered in advance around, washing, drying, steaming, and grinding them.
‘It was a good thing I planned the recipe in advance.’
Although Marjin Gwang looked a little displeased at the mention of having to draw out the detailed instructions for each of those small tools and not having to make even a single inch of error, it was an extremely satisfying task.
Thanks to this, I was able to do what I wanted just by pouring in my magic power without having to use a lot of magic.
And then, in that way, the prepared ingredients were put into the pot and boiled.
‘It’s definitely a lot more comfortable with two rings.’
As the liquid bubbling inside the pot spit out impurities through the still, I gently waved my magic wand to scoop up a single drop.
A slightly sticky, dark green formulation remained.
‘Is it finished?’
Fortunately, it didn’t take as long as I thought.
It is said that in a week, Dang Hwa-ryeong will return to his family.
Sacheondangga is also located in the city, but even in the same city, it is almost at the end, so you have to hurry to some extent.
‘I should try it out before then. I wonder where I’ll ever use it.’
As he was thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong suddenly felt hungry.
When I looked at the sky, the moon was already up.
It was an awkward time to go to Mrs. Jang’s house.
‘I can’t help it. I guess I’ll go out to eat for the first time in a while today.’

Recently, the Daeryongpyo people have been very satisfied with their lives.
“This kind of sign is rare.”
Originally, writing a book was quite a tedious task.
They had to carry heavy loads, always be aware of the weather and the road, and be ready to fight if necessary.
The target was not only people, but also wild animals.
If, while transporting the carriage, something like a wild boar or deer suddenly appears and hits the carriage, many difficulties will arise from then on.
However, with the recent emergence of the Nokrim Road Alliance and the signing of contracts with them, most of those risks have disappeared.
The mountain paths of Sacheon, known for being rugged, are being maintained, so not only will there be no need to risk your life fighting bandits, but there will also be no need to encounter wild animals.
In some cases, it was possible to complete a parade without drawing one’s sword even once.
The traffic has become faster, safer, and the income has become more stable, so I cannot be more satisfied.
“Ugh, my wife said that lately. She said it’s nice that you come home early these days. And you don’t get hurt anywhere. I hope days like this continue.”
“Why wouldn’t it continue? The Lord of the Land is here, and our military is here too. Above all, the succession is solid!”
“Child, why are you like that? Father and Jegal Hyunmong are great, but I am not yet.”
“What, didn’t you say you would soon be first-class!”
“It’s just a feeling.”
Although Lim Jun-gyu said that, he didn’t feel bad about it inside.
‘I feel like I can live now.’
I felt like my self-esteem, which had been dropping recently due to various reasons, was revived a little because I was given a little bit of space by someone.
Besides, today, we gathered together with like-minded people for the first time in a long time to celebrate the completion of our training at the Nokrim Road Alliance.
“Haha! If things continue like this, it won’t be long before our Daeryongpyo nation becomes the best in Sacheon!”
“It’s hard to ignore those words.”
“……huh?”
In the heated atmosphere, a sound of someone pouring cold water was heard.
At the sound that wasn’t even lowered, the Daeryongpyo nation’s leaders turned their heads.
And as soon as he saw their faces, his face hardened.
“Since when has a country like Daeryongpyo been able to claim to be the best in Sacheon?”
