Episode 433: The state of art (3)
Last month.
Marquis Valentino waited for this moment.
As he watched Roman Dmitry’s work reach its peak, he held his breath for fear that it might interfere with his work.
My heart was pounding like crazy.
Finally, the dawn was filled with silence, and when Roman Dmitry stepped outside, he was greeted as if he were possessed without even realizing it.
My body was shaking.
Although my body was not normal after spending a long time outdoors, my spirit transcended my physical limitations.
“… … Woe, Your Majesty the Emperor. Are you finished with your work?”
My mouth couldn’t move properly.
Roman Dmitry looked at the Marquis Valentino in silence as he spoke with difficulty with his cold, frozen mouth.
I knew what the other person wanted.
Marquis Valentino.
I couldn’t understand why this man, the richest man in Cairo whose life’s goal was to be recruited, waited for me with his shabby appearance.
He was a really fun person.
In fact, a person of Valentino’s caliber can live with his head held high in Cairo, but he is waiting like a beggar just to look at a sword.
Roman Dmitry did not reject passionate people, even if they were of a different kind.
Okay.
Didn’t explain.
Seeing the sword being handed over without saying a word, Marquis Valentino looked at it with rippled eyes.
“… … iced coffee.”
An exclamation escaped me.
The black eyes sparkling in the moonlight immediately caught my eye, and the seamless appearance took my breath away just by looking at it.
It was strangely different from the sword I had made before.
Not to mention its external perfection, I held the sword with trembling hands due to the magical power that made a person’s heart boil.
Ok.
It was smooth.
I chewed my lips at the feel of it in my hand, the appropriate weight, and the rumbling waves of magical power.
It was fishy.
Marquis Valentino looked completely fascinated by the sword, to the point where he didn’t know he was chewing it to the point of bleeding.
Actually, I didn’t think Roman Dmitry would be able to make a sword better than the Disaster.
That’s how perfect the Disaster was, but I can confidently say that the sword in front of him overwhelmed him.
Horsepower test?
Strength test?
There was no need to check that.
Even if it is a collector’s sense, even if it is a vagrant sleeping on the streets. You will immediately see how great this sword is.
My mind was spinning. In fact, the past month hasn’t been difficult for him at all.
Even though it was cold and uncomfortable to be outside, just watching Roman Dmitry work made all my complaints melt away.
And with the results revealed as if they were the crowning jewel of the dragon, Marquis Valentino received an emotional reward for the time he spent here.
This was it.
Because I wanted to see the results before anyone else, I gave up my social position and chose to live homeless.
It was then.
“The name of the sword is Spirit.”
“… … Spirit. “It’s a sword with a really beautiful name.”
Spirit.
The words were imprinted in my mind.
The moment he felt grateful to Roman Dmitri, who recognized his heart and gave him his sword, Marquis Valentino’s eyes were fixed on something without realizing it.
It was another sword.
Come to think of it, Roman Dmitry initially produced one sword and then devoted himself to spirit in earnest.
then.
What is that sword?
Of course, Spirit cannot be purchased because it is the sword that Roman Dmitry will use, but that could have been different.
“… … “Can you see that sword too?”
The eyes were colored with greed.
The imagination running through my mind was already picturing myself happily adding that sword to Roman Dmitri’s collection.
Reason was completely paralyzed.
After seeing the shocking results, Marquis Valentino momentarily forgot the truth he already knew.
“This cannot be confirmed.”
that.
It was a remark that seemed like a bolt from the blue.
As Marquis Valentino looked on with a despairing expression, Roman Dmitry retrieved the sword with calm eyes.
“It is a sword whose owner has already been determined. Therefore, the first person to check the sword must also be the sword’s owner.”
* * *
The day dawned.
People flocked to see that Roman Dmitry had finished the work, and as they watched, Roman Dmitry fulfilled his promise from a month ago.
“This is the sword I promised.”
“… … thank you.”
A man kneeling.

It was Kevin.
Kevin received the sword from Roman Dmitry and looked at the sword with an impressed face.
It was a great sword.
Having crossed countless death lines in the meantime, I immediately realized how great the value of this sword that Roman Dmitri had given me was.
It was a touching moment.
He could have roughly handled a subordinate’s request for a sword, but Roman Dmitry made his work visible to everyone.
What it looked like at that time.
I couldn’t forget it.
Kevin felt overwhelmed at the thought that the result of his work, engulfed in flames, was his.
“His Majesty the Emperor once said this to me. He said he would use me, who was just an insignificant slum boy, as a sword. From then on, my life already belonged to His Majesty the Emperor. Whether it’s Kronos or the devil of the demon world. No matter what enemies block His Majesty’s path, I will always exist as His Majesty’s sword.”
I bowed my head.
Roman Dmitry smiled lightly at the sight of him talking about loyalty.
It was a cheerful scene.
While the people watching were whispering that it was really nice to see, there was one person who couldn’t help but laugh.
He’s right.
It was the Marquis Valentino.
Roman Dmitry fulfilled his promise.
While creating a new sword called Spirit, he handed over the Disaster as promised, but after confirming the Spirit, the symbolism of the Disaster did not remain in his mind.
Of course, the symbolism of the sword used to conquer the continent was great.
The problem was that people were greedy, so other people’s cakes seemed bigger.
A glance.
I saw Kevin’s sword.
It was attractive.
It was tempting.
Although it may not be as good as the Spirit, it was clearly a sword that was superior to the Disaster, a sword with some of that enlightenment incorporated into it.
Sigh.
I saw the Disaster.
This was also great.
But it was disappointing.
A glance.
My stomach twisted.
Sigh.
This was definitely a good option too.
A glance.
Sigh.
A glance.
Sigh.
Marquis Valentino, who was checking his sword several times in turn, slapped his head and sighed.
“You idiot. I’ll just ask them to make my own sword. If that were the case, that sword could have been mine, and the Disaster could have been mine as well.”
It was certain.
A collector of greed.
He was truly extremely greedy.
* * *
that day.
Marquis Valentino visited Kevin.
He said he would pay whatever amount he wanted if he sold the sword, but Kevin said with a cold expression.
“I refuse. This sword is mine. Unless I die, this sword will never belong to anyone else.”
He was resolute.
The reaction was so brutal that it felt even hostile, and Marquis Valentino knew that a person like Kevin could never be appeased with money.
It was a situation that literally made me sigh.
I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t seen Spirit, but after watching Spirit, I became a person who couldn’t be satisfied with just the Disaster.
God was harsh.
If he had been a little less greedy, Marquis Valentino would certainly have lived a moderately satisfied life.
For several days after that.
I was in trouble.
As he continued to suffer from an unquenchable desire, he heard unexpected news from a network of people around him.
“Have you heard about Count Pettinson? I had an important transaction, but I was late that day and completely ruined it. But how absurd it was to laugh like that. Well, I understand. “Isn’t 500 gold a good deal for a lost human relationship?”
That moment.
I gained enlightenment.
‘Yes, nothing is impossible with money. If that happens, it means that money is lacking.’
Life is unpredictable.
Really what if.
There may come a time when Kevin needs money too.
At that time, if Kevin were to offer an enormous amount of money that he couldn’t refuse, wouldn’t even Kevin’s heart be shaken?
I am not talking about the future 1-2 years from now.
If Kevin gets old and there comes a time when he cannot swing the sword properly, Kevin, who wants peace, may worry about the future of the sword.
Of course, I tried to ignore the possibility that I would grow old and die first.
It was a faint possibility.
When such an opportunity came, thorough preparation was necessary to secure it.
The leaders were summoned.
When they gathered, Marquis Valentino said:
“I will concentrate on my work at the top for the time being. And we will make Valentino and this family the richest person on the continent. Possessing an unprecedented amount of wealth in history. “It is a wealth that surpasses that of the Golden Bank, which once wielded its wealth like the aura of the seven stars.”
Did people even expect it?
The decision of the day.
The fact that these words, which were as sudden as a lightning bolt in a dry sky, would lead to a revival of the Valentino family.
Later.
people said
It is said that there is a one step difference between a successful person and a crazy person.

A series of situations.
In the situation where Roman Dmitry publicly made a sword, there was someone who had a different sensibility than Marquis Valentino.
“… … “Time flies.”
Romero Dmitri.
As he looked out the window in his study, he recalled his conversation with Hendrick.
“I’ll be honest with you. His Imperial Majesty has far surpassed the level of the matriarch who was once called Dmitri’s greatest blacksmith. The sword he creates is a new realm unprecedented in history, and I am also seeing and learning a lot. It seems like we really don’t know what’s going on in the world. Even just a few years ago, wasn’t there a prevailing expectation that the Dmitri family had lost its blacksmith masters after the head of the family?”
The saying that you have surpassed yourself.
It was good to hear.
Since the Dmitri family’s roots lie in blacksmithing, Romero Dmitri always hoped that one of his three sons would continue his legacy as a blacksmith.
However, reality did not turn out as desired.
At least Rodwell Dmitry showed enthusiasm, but I knew that it was not from the heart.
However, I couldn’t force it.
Blacksmith work.
No matter how fundamental it may be, obtaining the title of nobleman did not result in positive reviews from those around him.
The gazes that call them vulgar.
So, I always had a feeling that was stuck in my heart, and I couldn’t help but be truly happy that my eldest son, who I thought was a sore finger, was carrying on the generation.
onetime.
Romero Dmitri was everything to Dmitri.
There was a time when everyone looked up to him, but even now, not many people miss Romero Dmitri.
Sometimes I just reminisce about moments from the past. Romero did not want Dmitri to rule again.
I laughed.
The fact that he had become an old man gave him an indescribable joy.
“Feel so good.”
The day was clear.
that day.
Romero Dmitry could not go to sleep easily.
As a father, he will also reminisce and remember today’s events for a long time.
* * *
A few days have passed since then.
Dmitry’s training ground.
In the past month, when people were excited about Roman Dmitry’s incident, there was someone who appeared every single day in a space far away from that place.
From early morning until sunset.
The being who swung the sword until his entire body was drenched in sweat had a day no different from usual today, a few days after Roman Dmitry finished his work.
hook.
Hook, hook.
regular intervals.
constant force.
The eyes shone fiercely.
It was a movement that took countless swings, but Chris didn’t show any signs of losing concentration for a moment.
‘I will not be defeated by anyone except His Majesty the Emperor.’
This competition.
As the news of Chris and Kevin’s participation in the war became known, opinions were already divided among people as to which of the two would win.
Even before the war with Kronos, most people expected Chris to win.
However, this time, Kevin defeated Ares, and Hyeonjae actually raised Kevin’s hand.
It was unacceptable.
Even though I might not be able to surpass my goal, I had no intention of becoming someone else’s stepping stone.
I worked hard at training.
There isn’t much left.
With the scheduled period fast approaching, Chris couldn’t afford to waste even a single day.
It was then.
“Chris! “Chris!”
Far away.
A soldier came running in a huff.
When he reached Chris, he barely calmed down his panting breath and spoke with a tired expression on his face.
“Ji, something big has happened now!”
“Stay calm and get to the point.”
I couldn’t stay calm.
One piece of news that struck Dmitry.
It was something that would have a huge impact on Chris and the continent.
“Actually, a little while ago… … .”
That’s how the story started.
It was 1 hour ago.
When Edwin Hector visited Dmitry, a problem that shocked people began.
