The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Comparison (5)
There was a clear sense of joy on Hyunsu's face as he stood still in a corner of the room.
It is surprising, from a common-sense perspective, that the country of strings overwhelms Parion like this.
On one hand, I felt a sense of disappointment thinking that the people might not need me, but then I realized how futile that feeling was.
Hyunsu said in the compressed report
“Nell, report the situation accurately from start to finish. How our county’s country was able to achieve victory.”
Hyunsu's voice changed.
-Sky of Swords. Those who chose to become mountain keepers alongside Raisen endured half a year of training that defied common sense. They also became friends with the mountain.
I currently believe that Lord Lysen has reached the level of a Sword Saint, at least when it comes to the mountains. Those who understand the mountains better than anyone else are bound to overwhelm others, at least in those mountains. Applying the same logic, I believe that the members of *Sword Sky* have surpassed most of the top-tier High Rankers when it comes to the mountains.
It is the Sky of Swords that defeated one of the Shadowless Corps. Although they do not belong to the Kingdom of Hyun, it appears that Lord Raisen trained them, judging that they would one day protect the Kingdom of Hyun.
“…….”
The retired old man cared for Hyunsu, even though he had abandoned the world of swords and chosen a life of climbing mountains.
“Tell the people of the Sky of Swords that if they bring the commission fee and materials, I will craft a sword for them.”
-All right.
“What on earth are you talking about regarding Akao’s fish farm?”
I believe Your Highness Hyun-su is aware of how hard Lord Akao struggled to get rid of the name 'pirate'.
“Of course I know. Akao told me himself that he committed evil deeds during his time as the Pirate King and is afraid that name might bring me harm.”
So Hyun-su said.
What does that have to do with me?
However, Your Majesty, since this evil deed was not committed by you, aren't you being pointed at because of me? That you harbored a pirate.
I don't really care. Besides, that's true, isn't it? What are they going to do about it?
… … That is why.
'what?'
This is why I have come to cherish Your Highness. I, Akaho, have never sworn allegiance to anyone in my life.
Akao, who had lived a rough life, smiled as he looked at Hyunsu.
So, Akao abandoned the name of pirate and became a fisherman, saying he would run a fish farm. Of course, he is a fisherman, but I don't know why he stops passing fishing boats to collect tolls.
Anyway, he ran a fish farm and caught many things as a fisherman. They included Krakens, Turtle Dragons, and Sea Dragons.
Hyunsu came to understand the part about Akao and the children.
He has been raising those things under the name of the fisherman Akao.
“Why on earth?”
He wanted to protect Your Highness's country in his own way. As someone other than a pirate, no longer.
"… … I am truly receiving more love than I deserve."
Hyunsu gave a bitter smile.
However, they knew that they had not yet won.
"in future?"
It appears that the Pharion Empire will no longer be able to easily covet the sea. However, I would like to say that the situation regarding the mountains is precarious, as Lord Lysen is ultimately guarding them alone.
However, we are not in a position to provide support to the mountains. If our troops go to the mountains while Lord Luxio is absent, there is a high probability that they will be looted while we are away. Furthermore, it is known that the Farian Empire forces have begun mobilizing a large army. To date, no clear information has been revealed regarding the commanders leading each army, and it appears that this will be a tough battle against a force several times larger than ours.
However, our military is clearly doing a good job, and while we are crushing the morale of the Pharion Empire, our own morale is actually rising.
Hyunsu asked the core question.
Do you need me right now?
"…It would certainly be good if Your Highness were here. However, according to what I heard from Your Highness two weeks ago, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Furthermore, Your Highness cannot do everything. It is right for Your Highness to do what you are capable of doing."
"I knew it, didn't I?"
Everyone had their own place.
Just like Lysen, the mountain keeper, protected the mountain.
Just like Akao, the self-proclaimed fisherman, protected the sea.
Yes, so Your Highness, please do not feel sorry or anxious about not being able to come.
“Alright, Nell. Please take care of the Kingdom of Hyun. I’ll be there soon.”
What can you do right now?
It was to complete his own Hyunmu armor.
[Connecting to Ares.]
When I logged into Ares, there was Baragon lying there as if dead.
Snore
Baragon suddenly started snoring.
Before logging out, Hyunsu told Baragon that he would return after drinking water and having a meal.
Baragon was happy about that.
'Finally, this guy is going to rest. I should rest a bit too!'
Two weeks is a short time. However, if those short two weeks leave no room for rest at all, the story changes.
Who in the world would use two weeks like a month?
Why did you show up already?
Baragon wanted him to go rest again.
"Good grief. I thought the advantage of dwarves was that they possessed greater strength and stamina than ordinary humans, allowing them to work three times as much without getting tired. But His Highness Baragon seems so exhausted that he didn't even notice my arrival. What I heard about dwarves being the best in the crafting world was an exaggeration."
flinch-
“Ah, I’ll have to tell the others when I go outside; I’m a really loose-lipped person.”
“……Don’t sleep.”
“Oh? You didn’t sleep?”
You devil… … .
Baragon stood up as he watched Hyunsu acting all innocent.
Even when I was forced into labor by a dragon, at least they gave me time to eat and rest!
I shouldn't have said I'd help!
Every joint of Baragon screamed as he rose to his feet.
In my life of over 400 years, I am about to catch a fever for the first time in my dwarf life.
also.
I will get tested.
Hyun-su crafted a plate armor just as Baragon had taught him.
After finishing the production, he went out saying he would be back after a short rest.
In that state, Baragon collapsed on the spot.
What is even more absurd is that Hyunsu and Baragon clearly made eye contact when they collapsed.
Usually, when someone collapses, wouldn't you say, "Oops, you need to rest!"?
I think we made eye contact a moment ago.
Me?
The interest pretended not to know.
[Dwarf King Baragon vows never to teach humans again.]
Hyunsu was actually grateful for the notification he heard.
Huge gain… …?
Doesn't that mean you are the only one who will forever receive the teachings from the Dwarf King Baragon?
Baragon looked puzzled when he saw that Hyunsu's expression actually improved after his resolve.
He's so annoying. Seriously annoying. If he weren't our dwarf's benefactor, I'd…
Of course, Baragon still cared for Hyunsu.
Thanks to that, the dwarves were safe for the rest of their lives.
Also, although I hated him for making me suffer, as a teacher, it is a pleasure to have such passion.
I'm in a good mood today, so I'm working overtime.
"Isn't it illogical to say 'today is overtime' when you've been working overtime for two whole weeks?"
“No, it’s different. I snatched a four-hour nap during yesterday’s overtime, but I’m not going to sleep during today’s overtime.”
Why are you deciding that?
Baragon didn't know.
Even in the handover process, overtime isn't something the individual decides!
Anyway, Baragon looked at the plate armor Hyunsu had made.
To think I'd be able to handle Hyun Moo-cheol to this extent already.
Hyun Moo-cheol.
It is legendary iron created by 'Hyunmu', which can only be obtained in the Land of Iron.
It takes even ordinary dwarves more than two months to understand and use Black Tortoise Iron.
Of course, it is up to the point of understanding.
Understanding and handling were different, and 99% of the dwarves could not handle Black Tortoise Iron.
Because the legendary mineral was that special…
However, Hyun-su clearly understood the strengths and weaknesses of Hyun-mu-cheol in just four days.
And on the 10th day, I started handling Hyunmucheol.
This is the result.
(Hyunmu Gangnippan Gap.)
Grade: Unique.
Durability: 30000/30000.
Defense: 779
Restriction: Swordsman or Tanker level 400 or higher.
Special Ability:
· Strength 2%, Stamina 4% increase.
· Magic defense increased by 35%.
·Passive Skill: Resilient Plate Armor.
· Active Skill: Black Tortoise's Benevolence.
Description: This armor was crafted by Master Hyun based on the teachings of the Dwarf King Baragon. By combining the advantages of both plate and scale armor, it allows for movement without significant hindrance despite being on the heavier side.
He understands. That artifacts are never determined by their grade. Although this armor is merely a Unique, its defense surpasses that of most Legendaries. As a result, the requirement to wear it has been lowered. No matter how good or outstanding it is, what good is it if you cannot wear it?
In fact, there were so many of those things among the artifacts.
"Excellent armor that only the strong can wear is an artifact meant only for them, not for everyone. However, if soldiers strive and grow stronger, they can eventually wear it. Knights can also wear it."
Knights wearing armor with legendary defense?
The fact that the artifact grade is low means its price is very low compared to a Legendary. Of course, it would be twice as expensive as a regular Unique. But even if it is twice as expensive, who wouldn't buy it when it is a matter of life and death?
The Law of Supply and Demand as a Blacksmith.
Popular armor.
Armor that anyone can buy with just a considerable amount of money.
It is not that Baragon is thinking this way based on a single piece of armor.
'What have I just done? I can't even imagine the influence this single blacksmith will wield among humans.'
The moment he universalizes this, the world changes.
If there is a fortunate thing… … .
I should give them to the reporters as gifts.
The idea was that the domain would be limited to the country he leads.
To be honest, the dwarf Baragon was right to stop.
He had no reason to make other races this outstanding.
But… … I keep realizing.
I didn't teach anything special.
The man in front was special.
Hahahahaha… … .
It is as if the genius who was hoped to be born among dwarves was born among humans.
That genius stayed up all night again for several days.
[It is a legendary artifact.]
He finally created a legendary suit of armor.
But he did not stop. He continued to hone his skills.
And finally, it is a look of having finished preparing.
“Why go to such lengths? Can’t you take a break?”
“I must focus more and tighten my grip. If my single struggle leads to the emergence of a more magnificent artifact that can save many, then burning myself out is only natural. This legendary armor I have just completed will also save Elder Lysen.”
“Why is that obvious? It is not obvious. Everyone calls it a ‘sacrifice,’ but sacrifice is ultimately futile and goes unrecognized.”
Just because no one acknowledges it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. What does it matter if others don't know? You know, and I know.
That remark made Baragon realize.
He was not a genius. He was someone who carried an immense sense of responsibility and moved forward through hard work.
I don't really like the word 'sacrifice.' So let's do it this way.
Hyun-su laughed broadly, taking a jab at Baragon's words.
With hope.
Baragon learns what works he has completed and will continue to complete.
It was hope, not sacrifice.
And now.
[The Heart of Hyunmu.]
He began to prepare the most perfect hope.
