Change of idea (6)
What I felt as soon as I saw the axe was wonder itself.
What material was it made of?
It was unknown. Even Yeonhojeong, who had destroyed thousands of weapons and seen tens of thousands of weapons, could not determine what kind of iron was used.
But I understand one thing.
‘It’s a huge robbery.’
The black windows stood out, as if they were absorbing even the sunlight.
Black and black. It had an unusual luster to be dismissed as simply black. However, because it was absorbing light, it made the viewer feel a strange sense of mystery.
Overwhelming strength that will never break. At the same time, it has a strange flexibility that seems to be able to bear the weight well.
The harmony of Gangyu came together. Just looking at the window was enough to make me think of that.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s gaze went down.
‘What about that?’
There was a hook on the end of the spear larger than an adult male’s fist, but it seemed to be made of a different material than the spear. Of course, he also seemed to be just as strong as Chang Dae.
‘Weight.’
In addition to being a ring, it also acts as a weight to balance the center of gravity. I thought that the weight of that ring alone must have been enormous.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s gaze went up again.
The moment he saw the huge ax blade, he felt his breath taken away.
“I know that you have a simple personality. However, it was too unfortunate to just leave it as is, so I made it a little more fancy.”
It wasn’t a little flashy.
The width of the ax blade was slightly smaller than the iron part handled previously. Instead, the thickness increased.
And at the center of the huge ax blade was a fierce-looking dragon head that seemed as if it would jump out at any moment. Around the dragon head, red and blue haze-like work was placed, adding even more splendor.
It’s a masterpiece.
The fighting spirit of a warrior and the majesty of a king were felt together. It was an indescribable majesty.
“The name was chosen by the owner, but it was a shame to leave it as is, so we called it Gwangryong (??).”
Gwangryong. It’s a crazy dragon.
It was a somewhat harsh name, but those two simple letters suited it very well. It was a new weapon that was a culmination of craftsmanship that would not rust even after a thousand years.
Yeon Ho-jeong walked as if possessed and grabbed the spear pole.
‘heavy.’
It was of great weight and thickness. Although it was similar to the iron part I wielded before, it felt thicker.
‘It’s different from the wind and thunder department.’
The Wind Thunder was a favorite weapon during the time of the Emperor of Darkness. He was also a new soldier made by the best craftsman in Black Island.
If the Wind Lightning is lightning, the Gwangryongbu is the wind.
If the wind and thunder department is cool, the light dragon department is intense.
If the Pungnoebu showed restrained aesthetics, the Gwangryongbu showed the spirit of expanding without restraint.
It felt reassuring, as if it could protect its owner in any battle. Just looking at it made my blood boil, as if the god of war was in it.
Yeon Ho-jeong heard the Gwangryongbu.
Huh.
The feeling of weight spreading from my wrists, elbows and shoulders to my entire upper body was amazing.
Surprisingly, it seemed somehow lighter than the iron part I had used before. In reality, it would have been heavier, but the burden on the body was less.
Yeon Ho-jeong used Byeokna Jin-gyeol without even knowing it.
Wooooow!
Dok2 cried.
It was similar to Yongyin (??). It seemed like a ferocious dragon perched in the center of the ax blade opened its mouth and roared.
Pyeon Il-gang smiled in satisfaction.
“It seems like Dokki likes you too. What is it like? “Do you feel okay?”
Any rhetoric that exists in the world was not enough.
In the end, Yeon Ho-jeong, who was thinking about it, spit out one word.
“There is nothing better.”
Pyeonilgang burst out laughing.
There is no need for modifiers such as awesome or the best. However, if it fits perfectly for the owner to hold and swing, that would be the greatest compliment to the craftsman.
“I thought you would like it. Feel free to swing it. No matter how fierce your strength is, you will be able to withstand it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.
“thank you.”
“Hehe, the owner is happy, so I’m happy too.”
Pyeonilgang gestured to Mukbi.
“Sozer, follow me.”
“yes? Ah yes!”
Mukbi also seemed to be mesmerized by Gwangryongbu’s dazzling appearance. She was startled and glanced at Gwangryongbu as she followed Pyeonilgang.
Yeon Ho-jeong went out of the blacksmith shop holding the Gwangryongbu.
Yikes!
The ax blade of the Gwangryongbu shined brightly under the pouring sunlight.
The light converges rather than scattering it. The ax blade that absorbed the light seemed to make the dragon’s head and haze look brighter.
I put strength into the hand holding the spear.
Kuuk!
The stronger the grip, the stronger the Gwangryongbu’s power seemed to increase exponentially.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“You received an undeserved gift.”
This one was all I needed. There was no need for an ax other than this one.
I wanted to swing it right away, but I couldn’t because of the location. He sat on a flat rock and was busy examining the Gwangryongbu as if fascinated.
How much time has passed like that?
Crackling.
The sound of a demonstration reaching my ears.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
Piiiiing!
One of the planes in front of me was fired at incredible speed.
Yeonhojeong swung the Gwangryongbu as is.
Sigh! bang!
The light dragon that cut the target in half exactly hit the ground. Without applying much force, more than half of the ax blade was stuck.
Yeon Ho-jeong pulled out the axe.
There wasn’t a single speck of dust on the ax blade that cut the stone and dirt.
“As expected, it’s fast even when holding something that heavy.”
Yeon Ho-jeong saw Muk-bi standing in the distance.
In Mo Fei’s hand was a red horned bow. Like the Gwangryongbu, it was unclear what the bow and string were made of.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Isn’t that a lot of tension?”
“I didn’t even put any energy into the arrow.”
Nevertheless, the speed at which it was fired was reminiscent of lightning. The perfection of the bow was no less than that of the Gwangryongbu.
Pyeon Il-kang explained.
“It is a treasure called Hongryeon Palace. I don’t know who made it, but I heard it’s difficult to pull off the demonstration to the end unless you have the skills of a peak expert. “It’s probably more valuable than the Gwangryongbu.”
Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi bowed their heads.
“thank you.”
Pyeon Il-gang burst out laughing.
“Is there anything to be thankful for? Now that I have acquired a good weapon, I hope you will use it meaningfully. “That’s enough.”
A good craftsman gave a rare treasure to a good warrior.
The father-in-law did not expect material compensation. However, what he hopes for is the sight of warriors holding the treasures he created scolding the world.
The two warriors left, promising to become great warriors who would live up to their father-in-law’s expectations.
“Do you like the bow?”
“A lot.”
“Okay, see you.”
“Do you like the axe?”
“What can I say?”
“It seems so.”
“Okay then, I’ll just leave and see you later.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have something to do in Zhejiang. “It will arrive before the end of this year at the latest.”
“Then let’s go together.”
“you also?”
“why? “Can’t we go together?”
“There’s nothing like that, but… aren’t you going through all this trouble for no reason?”
“Once you get a bow, you should try drawing a bow.”
“I’m not going there to fight.”
“You’ll have to see. “For some reason, it seems like the practitioner will get caught up in all kinds of incidents and accidents.”
“I am a child.”
“That’s just the way it is. “If something happens, I’ll be of great help, right?”
“Okay, there’s no need to stop me if I say I’m going to suffer.”
“You have a talent for speaking beautifully. “I’m always impressed.”
“I think I’ve said it a few times, but I didn’t know you were such a good talker. “He was so gloomy that he never opened his mouth except when eating.”
“When am I?”
“…There must have been a time like that.”
“No such thing.”
“Well, anyway, let’s run again.”
“Good.”
* * *
“Branch manager.”
“I don’t know who it is, but tell them I’m busy.”
“That’s not it….”
“Why is that?”
“I received a letter from my family.”
The young man who had been playing with the brush for a while stopped his hand.
He put down his brush and raised his head.
“From the family?”
“That’s right.”
The young man, lost in thought for a moment, held out his hand.
“Give it here.”
“Yes.”
The young man read the letter in one go.
Lee Geon asked as he saw the face of the young man reading the letter gradually darken.
“Is it a money issue again?”
“….”
“Branch leader?”
“hmm? “Oh, it’s not a financial issue.”
“But you don’t look good.”
The young man filed a complaint.
“I guess my brother noticed.”
“…!”
“I guess that’s it.”
“…How about sending another letter? As you know, war is about to break out among Zhejiang traders. In the meantime, if we monopolize trade with merchants in the western region, this place will quickly become a battlefield.”
“I guess so.”
Young man Mo Yong-woo sighed.
“Is Brother Hana the kind of person who would understand such a thing? “If they cause trouble, you will dispatch troops immediately.”
“….”
“Then that’s the end. “Everyone who goes against what you say will die.”
Lee Geon sighed.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, branch leader, but… do you really want to?”
“I guess so.”
“….”
“If you were my brother, you would definitely do that. “Some issues can be resolved through conversation, but if things go beyond the limit, my brother’s method is to thoroughly suppress the other person with threats and tricks.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes deepened.
“If even that doesn’t work, then I will definitely pull out the sword. And cut it down. “The core of the problem.”
“….”
“I think the coordination ends here. It would be better to help them from behind. “Isn’t it better than watching someone’s head get cut off by a knife?”
“okay.”
Mo Yong-woo sighed.
“Every time something like this happens, I realize how insignificant my abilities are.”
I felt sad about this.
‘The branch manager’s abilities are sufficiently impressive.’
That wasn’t just an empty remark; it actually was.
Mo Yong-wu has not yet reached the second stage. Nevertheless, he was a genius with a force that surpassed that of a decent Daemun sect elder.
If this fact becomes known, the reputation of Ilryongsambong will be called the Ssangryongsambong of the past.
That wasn’t all. Mo Yong-wu was not only excellent at martial arts but also at merchants. Moreover, his personality was good enough to be called a gentleman.
However, it was difficult for even an unprecedented genius to spread his wings if he was weighed down by the power of his family.
An unlucky genius who is not recognized by the world. That was Mo Yong-woo.
“Branch manager.”
“You tell me.”
“How about… doing it this way?”
“hmm?”
Lee Geon spoke carefully.
“Traders in Jiangsu, which is adjacent to Zhejiang, are also in dire straits. And it is Yeonga who is coordinating them.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes lit up.
“Byeoksan Yeonga.”
“yes. “It is said that their coordination was so excellent that many of the conflicts between small and medium-sized traders that seemed ready to explode were resolved within two months.”
“But?”
“Why don’t we join hands with Yeonga to save them?”
“No way.”
“yes?”
Mo Yong-woo shook his head resolutely.
“It can never be like that. “That puts not only the traders but also you and the soldiers under your branch in danger.”
“…Is that so.”
“I won’t be able to fool you in any way. Besides…”
Mo Yong-woo sighed.
“Recently, Yeonga’s reputation has spread all over the world. And the reason is because of the Grand Duke of Yeonga.”
“That’s right.”
“The grand duke of the Yan family faced the famous family alone. However, the one who decisively defeated them was my brother. “There is probably something between you and the grand duke of the Yan family that I don’t know about.”
“….”
“Even the slightest danger is fatal. “At least for now.”
“If I do this, will I eventually have no choice but to give up?”
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“Let’s try to support them. “Since you urged me, the work here is already over.”
It was then.
An urgent voice was heard outside the branch manager’s office.
“Branch manager!”
“What’s going on?”
“They say Lady Yeonhwa has arrived in Hangzhou!”
Mo Yong-woo’s face hardened.
“That Yeonhwa child?”
“That’s right. And they say they’ll stop by the daily branch!”
Egan’s cheeks trembled.
“…Branch leader.”
Mo Yong-woo buried his back in the chair.
There was a look of bitterness on his face.
“I think it’s all over.”
That night.
Yan Haozheng and Mo Fei entered Zhejiang.
