Episode 432: The state of art (2)
Kaang!
It was a cheerful sound.
Every time Roman Dmitry struck the steel in the swirling flames, the Marquis Valentino flinched and clenched his fists tightly.
I felt goosebumps rising from my toes.
Marquis Valentino had been praising Roman Dmitry as the best craftsman on the continent, but it was his first time seeing him work in person.
‘… … The rumors were true!’
Words floating around in the world.
Roman Dmitry really controlled the flames.
As I watched the flames burning my entire body, my mouth became dry and I could not take my eyes off.
‘A long time ago. There was a record about a legendary blacksmith who made weapons for heroes. He was a man of enormous size and great strength, and was gifted with the ability to control fire, to the extent that whenever he struck steel, it would be covered in flames. I thought that was just a fantasy peculiar to the people of old, but there really are people who can control fire even if they aren’t wizards. His Majesty, Emperor Roman Dmitry, is now recreating a legend!’
Look at that scene.
Blazing fire.
Hammering at regular intervals.
Muscles writhing as if about to explode.
It was truly a state of art.
Marquis Valentino spent 500 gold to prioritize the warp gate, but looking at Roman Dmitry’s appearance, it was not a waste of money.
Suddenly, I remembered the shock I felt when I first saw Blaze.
At the time, I was amazed that such a sword existed in the world, but looking back now, it was just a test piece for Roman Dmitri, who would write the future legend.
“iced coffee.”
Admiration flowed out.
I forgot my surroundings.
The space was so crowded that it was difficult to stand properly, but everyone looked mesmerized, as if they had made a promise.
Even the concept of time flew out of my mind.
As time passed, as the sun was setting, a familiar face stuck its head out through the crowd.
“Marquis!”
It was an article by Valentino.
Although he tried to wait until the end, he had a reason to interrupt the appreciation of the Marquis Valentino.
“He has a prior engagement with his superiors in a little while. Even now, time is running out, so if you don’t move quickly, you will have to pay a large penalty. Marquis Valentino, Marquis!”
I called again.
Marquis Valentino, who did not turn around no matter how much I said, turned his head and spoke only after being called about eight times.
“Pay the penalty.”
“… … yes?”
“Pay the entire penalty. There is always a special clause in the contract with Valentino. If the moment comes when I come across a work of art worth risking my life for, I will forgive you for postponing the contract just once, no matter what the circumstances. “I haven’t used it in decades, but this time I have to use it.”
“Then there is no need to pay a penalty, right?”
“It’s my gift. “A gift to those who understand the outdated special contract and to ask for their understanding of the indefinite wait.”
It was certain.
Valentino is crazy.
Waiting indefinitely meant that I would put off work at the top for a while and not leave even a single step from here.
I turned my head again.
As if he would no longer talk, the Marquis Valentino was immersed in the sight before his eyes with an ecstatic expression on his face.
* * *
Roman Dmitry’s work.
It wasn’t just Marquis Valentino who was impressed.
Hendrick, who led the blacksmiths to the famous site, was unable to calm his pounding heart as he looked at the scene in front of him.
‘amazing.’
lang syne.
Hendrick had seen Roman Dmitry’s work.
At that time, I could not accept the fact that Roman Dmitry had created the famous sword, and in the process of checking it, I witnessed an unbelievable sight.
Roman Dmitry showed off his blacksmith skills amidst the fluttering flames.
From that day on, I came to fully recognize Roman Dmitry, but as time went by, the memory of that time remained so strongly in my mind that I thought it might have been a dream.
and.
The moment Hendrick faced the moment he thought was a dream again, he felt an overwhelming emotion.
‘When I first checked His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry’s work, I was distracted by the fluttering flames and was unable to properly look at the work process. But it was like this. ‘It’s amazing that he can control fire perfectly, but in my eyes, having lived in a blacksmith shop my whole life, there is nothing that bothers me about His Majesty’s work.’
It was shocking.
Who is Hendrick?
Master Blacksmith.
Dmitri is a master who is renowned for his blacksmithing skills, and Roman Dmitry’s skills in his eyes were perfect.
To be precise, the basics were solid.
The ability to handle hammer blows and red-hot steel in a steady flow.
The flames that seemed to engulf the space were not simply for performance purposes; they gave the steel the necessary amount of heat in a timely manner.
I felt like my eyes were spinning.
I recognized Roman Dmitry’s skills right away, but when I analyzed it in detail, I found that his fundamentals were stronger than I imagined.
He couldn’t know.
Roman Dmitry’s past life.
How Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, received instruction from great craftsmen in order to make one sword.
At first it was also sloppy.
However, as time passed, his skills improved, and when he reached the position of Heavenly Demon, there was no one in the world who could refuse him when he asked for teachings.

Perhaps it would be safe to say that Roman Dmitry’s blacksmithing skills were the culmination of the martial arts skills of the central region.
The blacksmithing skills of the Jungwon warriors were revealed at the fingertips of Roman Dmitry.
Kaang!
Sparks flew.
Past life and present life.
Technology is in harmony.
Hendrick turned his head and looked at the blacksmiths under his command as they continued to work while holding the flames strong.
“Don’t miss even a moment of the sight before your eyes. That is the ideal you should pursue. “If you can continuously improve your skills and reach the feet of His Majesty the Emperor, then that person will become the new Master Blacksmith who will succeed me.”
It was high praise.
Looking at the astonished gazes of the blacksmiths, he added the last thing.
“I don’t know when the work will be finished. 1 hour a day from now on. All blacksmiths will observe the work of His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, excluding one hour from their usual working time. “It will be a more valuable lesson than ever before, so those who neglect this time will be judged as unqualified to be blacksmiths.”
that day.
Until the day set and the sun came up, Marquis Valentino and the blacksmiths did not leave the spot.
* * *
One day, two days… … Ten days.
Time passed quickly.
At first, an excessive number of people flocked to the place, but as time goes by, the number of ordinary people decreases because something amazing can only become dull if you keep watching it.
There were definitely still people coming.
However, it was not as enthusiastic as the first day, and there were a few people who stayed in their seats.
First bunch.
Hendrick and the blacksmiths.
Since they could not give up their jobs to watch over Roman Dmitry, they stayed in their positions in rotation for about an hour a day, as ordered by Hendrik.
Some people watched with fascination, some took notes diligently, and some imitated Roman Dmitry’s movements.
Actually, I understood their appearance.
For those who make blacksmithing their profession, Roman Dmitry’s work was an experience that could not be missed even for a moment.
however.
What I didn’t understand was the second group.
The Marquis Valentino, who had already set up a tent and chairs to block the sun, sat down on a soft chair and watched Roman Dmitry work for ten days already.
Hendrick and the blacksmiths still had time to be away.
However, Marquis Valentino never took a step outside the tent.
Then there was a problem.
How do we solve basic factors such as physiological phenomena and eating food?
The method was simple.
“Cover the tent.”
“yes.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
When Marquis Valentino’s order was given, the servants waiting nearby blocked the entrance to the tent.
It was as simple as blocking the view with a cloth, and the Marquis Valentino gave up his face and solved the physiological phenomenon in that small space.
It was the same with food.
When the servants ordered food that was easy to eat, Marquis Valentino ate it with his eyes fixed on Roman Dmitry.
The absurd thing is.
Since fatty foods encourage menstrual symptoms, I ate foods that were as comfortable as possible to shorten the time it takes to resolve menstrual symptoms.
The servants had no particular complaints about this.
The Marquis Valentino is a truly unique character, but he was famous for making sure he made amends in situations like this.
That wasn’t the only problem.
As the ten days passed and the problems at the top were piling up, and faced with a situation where it could no longer be postponed, Marquis Valentino handled all business inside the tent.
“Proceed as planned.”
“Contact the Franks. He said he would purchase the entire quantity. “If it’s a Valentino top, you can afford it all.”
“Damn it. “We ask the surrounding top companies to bring in all the manpower they can.”
I was busy.
While he glanced at Roman Dmitry’s work, Marquis Valentino took care of the really important work himself.
Of course, it was less than an hour a day.
To put it simply, he only handled things that absolutely required his approval, and most of them were handled by people he usually trusted.
It was truly madness.
After all, people who admired him for being a greedy collector also clicked their tongues, saying that he was being called a crazy person.
Day and night changed countless times.
People’s interest gradually faded.
When people first heard rumors that Marquis Valentino was still there, they just shook their heads.
* * *
Inside and outside the workshop.
completely separated.
No matter what was going on outside, Roman Dmitry concentrated on his work during countless shifts of day and night.
Kaang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The flame exploded.
It resisted fiercely every time the energy of destruction was injected into it, but the intensity of the flames had already subsided as the work had already been done thousands of times.
Roman Dmitry’s eyes, looking at the steel, were filled with desire.
As the work progressed, a strong confidence grew in Roman Dmitry’s heart.
‘This will be the greatest masterpiece of my life, both past and present.’
Roman Dmitry’s working method was unique.
It comes from a past life, and the life one has lived has always been melted into the sword in accordance with the current level.
When you are a third-rate warrior, use a third-rate sword.
When you are a second-rate warrior, use a second-rate sword.
When he was a first-class warrior, he made first-class swords.
As the level of skill increased, the level of perfection in making swords inevitably increased, but this work was completely outside the standards of my previous life.
If the current level simply determines the completeness of a sword, the sword made before Uhwadeungseon (羽化登仙) would have been the best.
But it was different now. Living a new life, I gained new enlightenment, and entered a completely new realm, filled with the flames of fire.
And all that.
This was possible because he had reached the level of heaven.
The skills of his previous life, the skills of his current life, his past experiences, and the battle with Alexandre were all combined into a state of heaven all at once.
Kaang!
Kaaang, kaaang!
The hammering intensified.
I had no idea how much time had passed.
The agony of making the sword turned into confidence, and I immersed myself in the moment in front of me to create the perfect result no matter how long it took.
Joy enveloped my entire body.
What at first was simply a struggle to survive developed into another element of joy in life for the present-day Roman Dmitry.
Kaang!
Incessant hammering.
Glittering flames.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, a month had passed since the start of the work day.
* * *
It was dawn.
In a quiet time when not even a bird could be heard, Roman Dmitry looked at the sword with calm eyes.
‘Completed.’
Inside this.
It contains past and present life.
I can say without a doubt that in my two lives, there has never been a sword better than this.
‘Your name is spirit.’
Because you put your soul into it.
It was named like that.
All work has been completed.
When Roman Dmitry cleaned up his place and went out, an unexpected person greeted him in the quiet space.
“… … Woe, Your Majesty the Emperor. Are you finished with your work?”
It was quite cold outside.
A person with a blanket wrapped around his body, shivering, but with shining eyes like a baby bird waiting for its mother bird.
It was the Marquis Valentino.
I had doubts as to whether it was the same person due to his very shabby appearance, but it was clear that he was the Marquis Valentino.
