Episode 277 < Political faction. (2) >
4.
From the beginning, he was a person who did not fit into the political faction.
-Uhm.
The poisonous snake has been wandering the world ever since it left the cave.
A place known to be beautiful. superb view. Secret area.
When I went to a place where a waterfall poured from the sky, I sat on a rock and took in the water alone, trying to withstand the gravity of the waterfall. When I went up to the place closest to the sky, I stared endlessly at the lower world unfolding in the distance for three or four days.
-Isn’t this it?
I wasn’t particularly impressed.
The [self] located in the heart did not respond at all.
The Venomous Snake scratched the back of his head, remembering the advice of the Murim Lord Namgung Un.
-It opened. I opened this… . They say that Jeongpa is about capturing nature in a sword, but I am not particularly impressed by the pretty and beautiful Amman. It would be more touching to see people commuting to and from work in the city.
The majestic force of the waterfall.
The vastness of the world unfolding below the mountaintop.
Terrible lightning and heavy rain.
-I don’t really crave it. Like this, oh oh oh oh! That’s amazing! After all, it’s Cheonmumunju! … … It doesn’t feel the same at all. completely.
Neither one could charm [himself].
-Ah, shouldn’t I have gone to the devil’s religion? Gongja Kim That guy is lucky. Why does he have to stick to the teacher who is the perfect match for him? shit… .
407 days from appearance.
What [myself] speaking that lurks in my heart is still only jealousy, lamentation, and sighing. Black lump. The viper moved forward, fully feeling its outline with sticky mucus flowing.
Cough!
At first, the sound that came from the street could not be heard by the viper.
Senses honed through long training. Of course, the sharpened auror sensed the metallic sound. However, only the body’s senses responded, and [the self] coiled at the base of the poisonous snake was indifferent.
Cough!
The place where he was walking now was Guru, the hometown of the designated tribe. From time to time, the poisonous snake came to the Guru to watch the blood drama, hoping that it could be used as a reference to defeat Kim Gongja.
Thanks to this, the Viper was able to recite all 11 lines that Kekerukker used when confessing to Raviel, even with his eyes closed. I sometimes wondered why those guys were acting like that, but when I thought about it, I became solemn and realized that it was [myself] who was freaking out the most.
Cough!
And slowly.
Cough!
[Myself]’s head, which had been wrapped in a coil, suddenly lifted its head.
I could smell all kinds of smells and scents moving around in the streets. Hiss. Whoosh. Among them, there was a sharp, fishy smell. [Self] twitched the tip of his nose to find the source of the smell.
Cough!
It was a blacksmith shop.
There were few people in this place, a couple of kilometers away from the city. Small and medium-sized theater companies that had not yet entered the central three-way intersection gathered together, and designated tribes whose pockets were still a little too tight to handle the three-way intersection were wandering around.
Cough!
A blacksmith shop was built on a remote roadside.
Rather than standing still, the blacksmith shop was sinking very slowly. The roof collapsed in several places. The pillars collapsed. Some of the pillars had already become leaning towers that had lost their balance, and barely pushed the roof off.
A place that will soon disappear as time flies.
Cough!
There, a blacksmith with massive forearms swung a hammer. Cough! The red-hot iron spit out sparks as it was hit by the hammer, and KAANG! It started to bend little by little.
There was no great technology.
There were no eye-catching performances.
-Howdy. The owner is noble.
but.
-You hammer in a strange way?
-Whoa.
The blacksmith wiped his face with a towel. When I got closer, I saw that he was really small. It was much smaller than the noble tribe as well as the designated tribe. The blacksmith, whose size does not even reach his own waist,
-What is it? Are you a noble guest?
It was a small fairy tribe.
-Do you need anything? Please note that we do not make weapons.
-ok? Why weapons? The flower of the designated blacksmith industry is weapons. Especially the sword. It is said that it is a happy custom among the designated tribe to give children a sword as a gift as soon as they have a coming-of-age ceremony, and when the sword wears out within a year, they give them a new sword.
-ah…
The fairies wiped their sweat.
It was a face that looked somewhat sour.
-I’m saying this because the customer is a noble family. Isn’t that a bit strange? Should I say I woke up? It’s bizarre. Thank you for being kind to minorities like us and treating us without any prejudice, but… … Including that, I’m really very awake. hmm. You know, right? What am I trying to say?
-Oh, I know very well.
Although it was the first time the two met, they quickly became close friends and nodded.
-Unlucky.
-Yes, unlucky.
The two people’s nodding heads were synchronized.
One was a fairy who made money for a living and somehow ran a small blacksmith shop, and the other was a human hunter who traveled around under the guise of nobles. Leaving behind their dark past and dark intentions, the two came together for a moment.
-You’re a customer who understands what I’m saying. So what are you ordering? I’ll do it for you cheaply.
-ah.
Only then did the poisonous snake remember its original purpose for coming here.
My pitch-black heart urged me to speak quickly, with my tongue lashing out.
-I didn’t really want to buy anything, I just stopped by because it was interesting.
-Hmm?
-Don’t worry, I’m not a suspicious guy. Anyway, while I was walking down the street, I overheard the sound of you hitting a hammer. But the hammering sound was very consistent. I thought it was a normal hammer sound, but the interval and intensity of the clap, cack, sound were exactly the same.

Yes.
The sound of the hammer continued to ring without interruption for even a second, or even 0.1 second.
An ordinary person would just pass it off as a hammer striking regularly, but the viper was a superhuman. He easily saw through the abnormality of the blacksmith shop.
-Is that by any chance? Although it is such a shabby blacksmith shop, it is actually amazing… … .
-Oh, please don’t sit on that chair. The chair was shaking so much that I fixed it to the floor, but the floor also shook. If you sit there for more than 15 seconds, the floor will collapse. It lasted 15 seconds when I sat down, but if a customer sat down, they would immediately fall into the hole.
-… … You have amazing skills. What can I say, the best blacksmith in the world was actually hiding in a blacksmith shop in a shabby neighborhood? huh? Isn’t it like an S-class miracle?
The viper was throbbing.
[Myself], whose heart was hissing nonsense, was also pounding.
Originally, the poisonous snake liked ‘things like this’ much more than beautiful nature or magnificent scenery. In fact, something that seemed ordinary was actually amazing, or something. hidden power. Hidden status. Hidden settings. Hidden darkness. Hidden world. The viper’s heart always pounded at these ‘stories’.
-uh… … .
The fairy blacksmith felt burdened as he received extremely bright eyes.
-I don’t know what you’re talking about S-class, but our blacksmith doesn’t see anything special… .
-You say that, but in reality, you were born with a special talent with a hidden past, right?
-I was born into an ordinary family, but because my family’s fortunes were declining, I just started working as a blacksmith… . customer. He has no talent. How can I compete with the designated tribes, who are born with built-in muscles… ?
-Hey, just by looking at it, it’s a lie.
-…….
-… … really?
-It’s not like you can make a single penny by lying to customers.
-…….
-Hey, if you don’t order something, you can leave it out. It gets in the way of working.
-…….
It seemed like it was real.
The viper paced around the blacksmith muttering to himself, “This is strange, this is strange.” The fairy blacksmith said, ‘You’re lucky… ‘ He sighed, but eventually ignored the presence of the poisonous snake and continued swinging the hammer.
Cough!
Cough!
Cough!
-…….
The poisonous snake, which was watching the hammering from a little distance, suddenly opened its mouth.
-It’s still the same.
From the viper’s point of view, only the blacksmith’s back and the fairy’s small back were visible. The well-toned back muscles, well-balanced shoulder muscles, and arm muscles worked tirelessly.
-What?
-rhythm. interval. century. It’s all the same. There is no misaligned hammering. If you have increased your sense of time with auras, you can imitate the same thing without difficulty, but just looking at it, there are no aurors. So this is what it means to do it with your senses.
-Whoop. Whoa, whoa…
The viper frowned.
If the fairy in front of me had walked the path of nothingness instead of becoming a blacksmith, and had learned Auror, they might have become very respectable warriors.
-That’s great, but what does it mean? Why do you insist on hammering like that?
The fairy spoke without turning their backs.
-That makes it a bit more fun.
The viper narrowed his eyebrows.
-Is it getting fun?
-yes. Work. Blacksmith work.
Cough!
-How tiring this is. Customers can take it home and conveniently cut it with a kitchen knife, place it on a cutting board, and nail it with a hammer… . It’s easy to use, but difficult to make. I don’t know if you’re just making it as a hobby, but this is…
Cough!
-It’s my job. Whoa!
-…….
-Damn, I f*cking hate working.
Cough!
-it’s hard…
Cough!
-I’m dying.
Cough!
-I want to die… .
Cough!
-I’m dying!
Cough!
As the hammering continued, the swear words uttered by the fairy blacksmith became harsher. It seemed like he was spitting at someone, but more than anything, he seemed to be spitting at himself.
The viper was speechless. The sound of hammering was so sharp that I couldn’t hear it, but this blacksmith shop was noisier than any other workshop in the city.
-Oh, indeed. There’s no way customers will come if you hear that kind of swearing all the time, so you’re swearing at that perfect timing when swinging the hammer. You won’t be able to hear the swearing because it will be drowned out by the sound of the hammer.
The viper realized.
-… … Are you crazy?
-Sir, you have been a bit disturbing since a while ago. I hope you can leave quickly.
Indeed, the Doxa said, feeling once again that there were many different species living in the city created by Kim Gongja, regardless of race.
-Then it’s fun. The facial expression doesn’t look very fun, but is it really fun?
-sure. How much fun is this?
The blacksmith wiped his face with a carpentry towel.
-The original job is difficult. It’s natural that it’s difficult. Even if you know what my race is, you’ll get a sense of it, but I wasn’t born for this job. It means you have no talent. But it seems like you end up cursing while working, don’t you think?
-What… .
-But if there is no joy in working. Because if I don’t have one, I really feel like I’m going to die.
Cough!
-I’m just looking for fun just enough to not die.
Cough!
-Well, my co-workers go somewhere to relax every weekend. Rest. Go to the new public bathhouse and relax. They said that the blood drama that was postponed this time was really amazing, and they said everything and solved it in their own way. I don’t know.
Cough!
-When I look at a high mountain, I think things like, “Why am I small but you are so tall?” and “Are you going to fight with me?” Even when I go to a famous place that is said to be beautiful and look around, I feel calm because it feels like something is so far away from me. Ah, it feels like I’m dying to work… … I’m dying. My morale is not low. It won’t go away.
Cough!
-I’m dying.
Cough!
-Still, I can’t die.
Cough!
-Finding a corner to have a little fun. The guests from the noble family praised me as if it was something great… I’m just trying to survive and have fun. look. Cough! see. Cough! It’s kind of fun to play with the same rhythm. It feels like music that hasn’t been made yet. Cough! Isn’t it?
Only then did the blacksmith turn his head.
The fairies were smiling broadly.
With a face reddened by the brazier and covered in charcoal soot.
-It’s fun, right?
-…….
That moment.
-Oh, this is quite a difficult task. It’s about keeping the moment right. It just arouses my desire for a challenge. I guess it’s just my own game that no one else is playing.
Viper.
The [self] he held in his heart realized something.
A person who had already realized who he was became even more enlightened after seeing a small blacksmith.
-There are all the rules for the game. A little slower when it rains.
What makes you feel beautiful.
What feels natural to you.
Until the moment when this arm moves and this blood pulses, what exactly is it that you want to capture in your knife?
The gate lord of Cheonmumun (天武門) realized.
-When it’s foggy, hammer slower so you can hear. why. Isn’t there something charming when you hear the sound of clang, clang, clang from afar in a foggy city? It feels like the city is crying. It feels like the fog is crying. That’s kind of fun too. It’s cool. I find things like that more interesting than things like famous mountains or spectacular views.
It was not a screaming people.
This was not a person clawing at their fingernails with their lungs ripped out from starvation.
When the wounds were healed and people with the same wounds laughed among themselves—the air in which that laughter spread was also close, but not.
-what. If you do this, you can live.
Those who endure.
-I want to die, but
Those who become happy in order to endure.
-You can buy it.
That happiness.
A fleeting pleasure that cannot even be considered happiness.
To endure day after day, even to the point of destroying some part of yourself.
Sighing and smiling while saying to myself that I feel like I’m going to die.
will.
To survive.
-…….
The viper nodded slowly.
-… … okay.
It was easy to look down on that happiness as a lame trick. Since it is not a means of permanently solving problems, you are not becoming happy but merely postponing happiness, so it was easy to come up with advice such as finding your true self and throwing yourself into your true talents.
It was so easy to say that something was wrong with your life.
-It looks pretty fun.
but.
What does it matter?
-Do you mind if I try it too?
No matter how miserable the happiness, it is just a piece of happiness.
Even if it is a smile that lasts only for a moment and then disappears, it is a smile.
It is something that definitely existed, exists, and will exist in this world.
It is proof that I am alive and want to live.
-to. Are you a guest?
-You’re a noble family, right? Use your strength well.
-This isn’t something that can be done through strength alone… .
-Oh, just give it a try. I have a lot of money. I’ll put my pocket here, so if there’s any problem, the manager can take care of it.
Everyone works.
Everyone works hard.
Everyone becomes happy by enduring suffering.
Therefore, even if this happiness is not here and now, it will spread regardless of time and place, and it will be able to become a sky comparable to the devil heaven and surround the world.
-Wow!
The viper opened its upper body and held the hammer tightly.
-good! Let’s give it a try!
I fell too far away to sing about the scenery of nature. I was so happy that I didn’t have the confidence to capture the children’s laughter spreading across the wheat field with my sword.
But if it is the happiness of ordinary people.
I just try a little harder, I struggle a little more, and I only feel a little bit happy, but it’s so hard that I feel like I’ll die right away without that little bit of happiness. If you are happy, you make a plan to be happy somehow, think hard about it, execute it, smile brightly and be happy.
-This is my first time working at a blacksmith shop! can do! Cheer up!
I was able to capture it with a sword.
I wanted to capture it.
The viper knew that the beauty he had been looking for, the sound that touched his heart, the scenery he wanted to show to the world, and righteousness were here.
-Anyway, the only thing left in this body is time!
Cough!
A metallic sound rang out.
Cough!
A metallic sound rang out.
Cough!
Hissing sound,
Cough!
It rang.
Cough!
It rang.
Cough!
It rang.
Cough!
Cough!
Cough!
Cough!
etc,
