The World’s Greatest Man is Dead Episode 073
Steel.
A place where the wild animals within the party gather, as many people say.
‘The current price is possible because of steel.’
It was a place that occupied such an important part of the Tang family that it could be said to be a place that occupied such an important part of the Tang family.
It can’t be helped.
It is no exaggeration to say that the majority of famous swords produced in the Central Plains are made of steel.
Not only swords, but the weapons they made were not easily obtainable even if one had money in the central plains.
Weapons made from steel are divided into four grades: copper, silver, gold, and special.
Even if it was only the lowest grade copper, it was highly valued if it was made from steel.
If it was of silver grade, it was called a famous sword.
The gold rank was a level that could no longer be purchased with money, such as being given out as a prize for special festivals like the Yongbongjihoe held by the Murim Alliance.
Beyond that, if you go beyond the gold rank to the special rank.
‘They said it was truly a divine instrument.’
A weapon that can only be made by reaching the sky.
That is why it was called a miracle.
The warriors practice madly to perfect themselves.
Even during that time, I was still quite greedy about my weapons.
In this way, the weapon made by the Tang family was also a proof.
This is just one proof that I can wield a weapon like this.
So, weapons made from steel could be seen as an object of desire for the unmanned.
“… … story.”
In that situation, I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at the sight before me.
“I’ve lived and lived and come here… … .”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A harsh noise rings in my ears one after another, and a strong bloody smell wafts from my nose.
It was different from the smell of fish or blood.
The unique scent of iron. I could feel it all over.
And that’s not all.
“Hit with more force!”
“Concentrate! Use your strength properly!”
The space was filled not only with the smell of iron, but also with the smell of sweat and steam as you went deeper.
Unknown unpleasant smells.
However, if you know the reason for this space’s existence, it is a place you will never feel bad about.
‘… … This is steel.’
I was now inside the steel.
It was a place that was kept extremely secret even within the Tang family, and it was also a place that all the martial artists showed extreme interest in.
It’s a given.
If it’s unmanned, steel might be a dream place.
“pour!”
“Keep beating it without stopping!”
There were many people with slightly tanned skin.
Everyone was holding something with their hands.
I’m busy doing something with it.
Although I didn’t know the details, I knew it had something to do with metallurgy.
‘Are they all craftsmen?’
Those who dedicated their lives to making weapons.
These are the most important things that make up steel and enable it to be maintained.
They were craftsmen.
Bang-! Bang bang!
Everyone was constantly pounding something with a hammer.
Even without that, I could see that he was repeating behaviors that I was not familiar with.
‘It’s hot.’
I flapped my clothes with my hands. It was so hot that I would sweat without even realizing it if I stayed still.
‘How on earth do other people hold out?’
I turned my gaze and looked at the people around me.
Unlike me, with sweat running down the back of my neck, everyone else looks strangely normal.
What the heck? Why are they all so fine?
Am I the only one who feels the heat?
Why are they all so fluffy?
I don’t understand, so I’m just staring at it.
[It’s controlled by energy.]
Yoo Cheon-gil, who was following behind while yawning, said.
[If you apply a thin layer of energy to your body to block the heat, it will become bearable.]
“… … .”
I narrowed my eyes as I listened to the explanation.
… … Was there a way like that? Somehow, Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyung, who were next to me, seemed fine… … .
‘… … What are you doing thinly?’

It was something I couldn’t figure out even if I tried.
Spread the energy thinly and cover your body.
I didn’t really get the feeling from just hearing it.
So I just stayed still.
I’m sweating more and more.
[Are you okay? I’m going to die soon. Hehe.]
As sweat began to pour down like rain, Yoo Cheon-gil looked at me and said:
That’s right. I’m really dying.
‘But what else can I do?’
For now, the best thing to do was to pretend that everything was okay.
The problem is.
“… … Prince Bang. Are you okay?”
Pretending to be okay doesn’t mean you really look okay.
The sweat that was flowing down would have looked strange to anyone who saw it.
So, Cheon Ui-jin asked me what to do as if he was worried.
“Oh, yes, that’s okay.”
It’s not okay, but I said it’s okay.
“but…….”
Of course, Cheon Ui-jin’s expression of disbelief was obvious.
That’s not all. Other people besides Cheon Ui-jin were also looking at me strangely.
The gaze that asks why you are not using your energy is clear.
I had to curse a hundred times inwardly while feeling that.
‘I want to write too.’
Do you think anyone doesn’t write because they don’t want to write?
If only I knew, I would have written it right away.
Otherwise, I felt like I was going to faint, but I had no choice so I just held on.
Should I make some excuse?
After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m doing this because I came to the steel mill myself and wanted to feel its unique heat and passion.”
That was nonsense. He was saying that he would buy it and suffer for it, so even if I had heard it, I would have thought, “What the hell is that crazy guy talking about?”
“… … .”
Land- land… … .
Right after I said that.
The loud hammering sound suddenly stopped. And then.
‘what?’
All the craftsmen around me were looking at me.
And that too with a rather intense gaze.
What is this uncomfortable silence?
I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it and looked around.
The craftsmen, who had been watching for a while, suddenly started working again as if they had coordinated with each other.
Thud-! Thud thud! Thud!
The reaction was as if nothing had happened.
What is this?
I’m just sitting there with a blank expression on my face in a delicate situation.
“Young man, you know how to be polite.”
Someone appears through the hot heat.
He was an old man with white hair, drenched in sweat.
I narrowed my eyes at the old man.
‘… …Why is your body like that?’
If you look at his face, he looks like he’s quite old, but his body isn’t like that.
He was a huge, muscle-bound man, holding a hammer in his hand that was as big as my head.
After that, an old man came walking slowly and stood in front of Danggyeongak.
“See you, Master.”
Bow your head and show respect to him.
Dang Gyeong-ak, who saw that, also bowed his head and paid respect.
The head of the household bowed his head.
I looked at it and calculated it in my head.
‘A person who is worthy of being treated with respect by the head of the family.’
And the location is steel.
Thinking back to that point, I figured out the old man’s identity.
“I am-“
Before the old man could introduce himself, I stepped forward and spoke.
“Meet the Lord of Steel.”
“hmm?”
When I first brought up the subject, the old man looked at me.
“Are you Mr. Steel, Dangjicheol?”
The old man’s true identity was none other than Steel Stock.
Steel stocks could be seen as the real power holders of the current steel industry.
In addition to the three special weapons that Dokjon produced.
A special sword currently used by the head shaman of one of the Gupaebang shamanic wards.
He was also the person who created the Songmun (pine pattern).
‘… It’s no exaggeration to say that all gold grade items are made by that person.’
After the death of Dokjon, he is the only craftsman with the potential to create special weapons.
He was the current owner of the steel mill, Dangjicheol.
“Oh.”
That local idiot looks at me as if he is interested in what I am saying.
“You know me, don’t you?”
“How could I not know you, sir, from the perspective of someone who uses a sword?”
Honestly, I didn’t know until recently, but I had memorized all the important people here before coming to Dangga.
“Hehe. Is that so?”
Did my efforts pay off? Dang Ji-cheol smiled as if he was pleased.
Then he opened his narrow eyes and looked at me and asked.
“Is that you? You’re the descendant of Brother Yu.”
“……you’re right.”
Brother Yoo, it was a unique word I was hearing for the first time.
[This guy has gotten really old.]
Yoo Chun-gil smacked his lips as he looked at Dang Ji-cheol, wondering if they really knew each other.
“I see. Certainly… … .”
Dang Ji-cheol nodded to my words. I had a strange feeling watching him.
‘Do you believe it?’
Normally, people would look at this guy and wonder why he is the successor to the Black Swordsman, but Dang Ji-cheol didn’t seem to be like that.
That felt a bit unexpected.
I find this fascinating.
“Then I will guide you, so please follow me. Ah.”
Dang Ji-cheol, who was turning around while talking, said.
“Just follow the young people there, and the rest of you can just look around.”
The ones pointing with their fingers were Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyeong.
The moment when Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyung heard those words and were about to react at the same time.
“I have something to share with you about the Full Moon Repairman and the Elder Sword Master, so I hope you understand.”
Dang Kyung-ak added. Only after hearing that did the two stop walking.
It was certainly a reason to refuse.
Now that I’ve come this far, I only have one thing to say to the two of you.
“… … Then I’ll go for now.”
I’ll go first. Without saying anything, I follow Dangjicheol who is ahead.
After walking a little, we arrived in front of a large door inside the steel structure.
Dang Ji-cheol stood in front of it, grabbed the doorknob, and opened it with all his might.
Squeak-!!
There is a loud noise and the door opens.
A tremendous cold air was felt through the slightly opened gap.
The door opened and Dang Ji-cheol and Dang Gyeong-ak went inside.
I also went inside right away.
‘… … Phew.’
As soon as I entered, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I was almost drenched in sweat, but it was still very cool inside.
I look around with relief.
‘What kind of place is this?’
What on earth is this place? Unlike the steel that was emitting such intense heat just a moment ago, I never thought there could be such a cold place.
Even.
‘That’s a full moon.’
In the center of the room was a table, and on top of it was Yoo Cheon-gil’s beloved weapon, a broken sword.
The full moon was rising.
‘Why did you put that here?’
Why did you put it here if you were going to repair it?
As I was quietly looking at it.
“Gaju, is one season enough?”
Dang Ji-cheol asked Dang Gyeong-ak.
“yes.”
“Then it will take ten days at the shortest and two weeks at the longest.”
Dang Ji-cheol approaches Man-wol, reacting indifferently.
Hearing that, I realized something I had forgotten.
‘Yeah, that was made with Hancheol.’
It is a special steel that cannot be compared to ordinary steel.
Since the full moon was made with one season, it would naturally take one season to repair it as well.
‘Did you volunteer to fix it in that situation?’
When I thought about it that way, it was incredible.
Now, it is a precious season that cannot be bought even with money.
‘What about the fee? Even if Cheongwolmun paid it… … .’
I wonder how much it would cost to pay.
It was also surprising that he accepted that as a request.
As I was figuring this out, I quietly watched the full moon.
“Room shaming.”
Dang Kyung-ak spoke to me.
“The party plans to begin repairing the full moon as requested by Cheongwolmun.”
“Yes, I see.”
It was something I had already heard, and it wasn’t something worth thinking about deeply.
The reason is.
“So, on the other hand, I have something to say to you, Bang So-hyeop.”
Because I know that Dang Gyeong-ak will have something else to say to me anyway.
After all, the previous words were just groundwork for getting to the main topic.
“Are you talking to me?”
I answered as if I didn’t know, and after that.
“This is a request not to the unmanned Cheongwolmun, but to the descendants of Geomseong.”
Dang Kyung-ak spoke to me with his characteristically expressionless face.
“I have a request to make regarding the previous lord’s memorial. Also.”
“… … .”
I wasn’t that surprised.
Because I expected it would turn out like this anyway.
but.
“If you accept the request and solve it, I will give you one of the special-grade weapons listed in the note to Bang So-hyeop.”
“……yes?”
I was shocked by the words that followed. If I solve the request, I will give you the special-grade weapon inside?
It was a word that made my blood shiver just hearing it.
“her.”
So he spoke directly to Dang Gyeong-ak.
“no, I do not want.”
“… … Then, the request… … Hmm?”
My answer made the cold atmosphere in the room even colder.
