Caan!
Kaang Kaang-!
repetitive action.
repetitive sounds.
Roman Dmitri’s muscles swelled, and every time he struck the steel, everything around him, except the steel and himself, dissipated one by one.
It was truly a state of no self.
It is a state that even skilled artisans want to experience at least once in their lifetime, but Roman Dmitri was able to isolate his consciousness the moment he made up his mind.
I fell terribly into it, cutting off myself from the world so that I could focus only on one thing.
Caang!
present and past lives.
I’ve been hammering countless times in both my lives.
Roman Dmitri concludes that he lacks technical skills in his current life, but he did not think that it is caused by differences in people.
Dmitry’s master, Blacksmith Hendrick, and Park Gwang-deok, who is said to be the best craftsman in the Korean Empire. The difference between the two is not skill and effort.
Both are excellent craftsmen and have dedicated their lives to hammering, but despite their undisputed efforts, a gap between them was inevitable.
It was a cultural difference.
It was the background difference.
In Hendrick’s world, steel smelting was treated as a priority, but in Park Kwang-deok’s world, as the modern society was formed, it was pushed to a lower priority.
At least, making ‘weapons’ out of steel was evaluated as not suitable for the age of using guns.
Perhaps Park Kwang-deok’s will, who did not let go of the hammer even before the catastrophe broke out in a world that could not be properly recognized, was even greater.
leave that fact out.
The reason why there really had to be a difference was in understanding the basis of the world called ‘Mana’.
The difference between understanding mana and not understanding it.
The previous life understood Mana.
Aura and magic developed and the theoretical system for mana was organized, so all of that information melted into the sword.
The blacksmiths also proceeded with their work, thinking that the sword was not simply an iron weapon, but a sword that could accept mana.
At first, technology that had undergone many trials and errors like modern life had a tremendous revival in the era of Dmitry.
And unlike the current life, mana was abundant there.
Even if Dmitri’s artisans couldn’t use ‘mana’, mana was melted into their actions.
‘Current artisans live in a world where technology cannot develop. Due to the barren mana, mana had to be intentionally injected into the process of manufacturing mana weapons, and while mana was expressed through the system, the concept of mana was not understood. Maybe if hundreds of years pass like this, starting with artisans like Park Kwang-deok, we might secure technological prowess comparable to that of Dmitry. Their lack of technology is not a lack of effort, but only the limits allowed to them now.’
Caang!
technological revolution.
advanced the timing
After many trials and errors, Roman Dmitri intended to develop the technology he needed to perfect in his present life.
For the revival of the Korean Empire?
That’s right too.
But the real reason was Dmitry.
‘I want to rule this world. My reign has had a purpose in itself, but it came from my mind that did not allow even the slightest variable in the reign I want now. Dmitry. I hope that no variables are involved in the process of bringing that world here. May the powerful and absolute beings who make up this world dare not interfere with my purpose. I sincerely hope.’
Caan-!
The will was swollen.
Aspiration flared up.
Unlike the violently seething emotions, Roman Dmitri’s hammering was repeated calmly to the point of being boring.
followed the degree.
Normally, he worked more explosively than he did now, expressing his firework skills, but the skills he wanted to show to the craftsmen of the present life were areas that ordinary people could follow.
I don’t think they can learn from just one look.
However, the sights he saw with his own eyes will remain as the foundation of the Korean Empire.
In order to create a powerful nation that thinks forward, Park Gwang-deok and his artisans had to grow into a solid foundation.
Just like there were blacksmiths in Dmitri.
Artisans will exist in the Korean Empire.
Roman Dmitri intentionally moved mana and showed a new type of work technology suitable for the current life.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of hammerings.
A day, two days, three days. Time passes quickly.
When a week has passed like that.
Passsss.
Roman Dmitry finally stopped hammering.
* * *
Last week.
Park Kwang-deok and the artisans thought.
‘Apart from His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitri’s suggestion, I will definitely find out the principles of technology while watching his work. It’s not a day, it’s a week. For those of us who have lived in the forge all our lives, it’s an overflowing amount of time.’
made a will
Seeing Roman Dmitri starting to work in earnest, he showed a strong will as if to capture every single action in his eyes.
like that.
Caan-!
work has begun
“and.”
“Huh.”
Everyone exclaimed in admiration from the start.
I thought Roman Dmitri’s work would include some skill elements, but he showed a perfectly standard look. It was the realm of artisans.
Instead of using skills to create something at once, the result was shattered little by little through countless repetitions of hammering, which melted time and sweat.
looked different.
Roman Dmitry.
They were artisans like them.
I had a prejudice against his appearance, but he showed a way of working that was impossible unless he was a true craftsman.
Every time I repeated the hammering, I felt the years.
A man named Roman Dmitry was suffocating at how much agony and effort he had put into making a sword.
Admitted.
I had no choice but to admit it.
From then on, artisans immersed themselves in the situation itself, rather than trying to learn something.
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
in the roaring fire.
A strange sight appeared in the eyes of the artisans.
The red magic power was sucked into the steel.
When Roman Dmitri struck the steel, the mana caused a violent explosion and was sucked back into the steel.
repeated hammering.
Repeated explosions of magical power.
Park Gwang-deok’s eyes shook.
The sight, which I did not understand at first, soon realized what it meant.
‘… To make nature’s mana permeate steel with one hammer stroke. It was this. Even if you don’t have to use crafting skills, even if you don’t leave blanks in the process of crafting iron weapons. This is how to make a weapon that perfectly accepts mana but is also perfect as an iron weapon! Because iron weapons naturally accept mana, His Majesty Roman Dmitry’s sword was able to coexist with the two strengths.’
admired
at the same time.
I felt a vague feeling.
It may seem like a very simple theory to explain, but that ability to freely handle mana was an impossible area without using skills.
People in the present life dealt with mana only through skills.
It’s not about understanding and controlling mana, but the way mana accompanies you only when you use a skill.
It was confusing.
How the hell is this even possible?
Other artisans also showed the same reaction as Park Kwang-deok.
“… What is this?”
“This is art. It is the realm of art.”
“iced coffee.”
Everyone was totally fascinated.
I forgot my purpose.
It wasn’t that he wanted to learn the technique, but he was eager to capture the image of Roman Dmitri even for a moment.
Only then did I know
Roman Dmitry’s intentions.
His work was not something that could be learned just by watching, and the skill of handling mana itself was only a one-step process.
Even after that, in order to complete the sword, he had to go through numerous steps.
As a craftsman who did not understand mana, it was impossible to even imitate the steps without mastering the basics.
The sun went down and the sun rose again.
People did not leave their seats as much as possible.
A technological revolution was happening right before our eyes.
Because I know that a new era is coming due to Roman Dmitry, I captured the moment that will remain in history as much as possible.
a week like that.
When you finally stop hammering.
Passsss.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. Please accept us.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor. Please accept us.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor. Please accept us.”
Led by Park Gwang-deok, the artisans bowed their heads in unison and cried out for an oath of allegiance.
* * *
Park Gwang-duk said.
“I realized this while watching His Majesty’s work. The way we’ve been making mana weapons has been half-baked. Even though we know that the way humanity uses skills in dangerous situations right now is half-baked, we have ignored reality. Please teach us. The artisans of the Artisan Association, including myself, are eager to be taught that skill that cannot be learned simply by watching. If you open a new path for us, I will gladly give my life for the Korean Empire and for His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry.”
“Please accept us.”
“Please accept us.”
Aspirations spread.
Artisans looked up to Roman Dmitry.
It was not a waste to dedicate everything to him the moment he recognized him as a craftsman rather than the emperor of the Korean Empire.
I am a citizen of the Korean Empire.
They are artisans who have dedicated their lives.
To them, Roman Dmitri was the perfect being.
said Roman Dmitry with intense longing.
“I know how important the role of artisans in making weapons is. No matter how excellent swordsmanship you possess, if you are holding a weapon that cannot cut through the skin of a monster, your excellent swordsmanship will not be of any value. New Era In this chaotic world, you are worth more than you think you are. I am Roman Dmitry. It will raise the value of artisans. I will prove your existence.”
Dmitry.
Korean Empire.
The link of fate was connected.
Just as Dmitry laid a solid foundation with his manufacturing skills, he hoped that artisans would become the foundation of the Korean Empire.
Park Gwang-deok and the artisans showed a thrilled expression.
They have been recognized as artisans, but there is no one in the world who speaks of their value as much as Roman Dmitry.
A person who makes weapons.
Just like that.
Roman Dmitry was different.
Having experienced a previous life, I knew how important the existence of artisans was.
I was thrilled.
In a situation where everyone looked up, Roman Dmitri told them a new future.
“It will start in a month from now. We will hold a technology presentation at a place where all countries in the world are invited. Like you today, people look up to the technology of the Korean Empire, but would not dare to imitate it. That’s when the technological revolution began. This country will face a new inflection point because of the stage where you are the main characters.”
bright future.
took the place of the protagonist.
Park Gwang-deok and the craftsmen thought about the feelings that could not be expressed in words.
No matter how long time passes, they will never forget this moment when they acknowledge their existence.
* * *
The time when the Korean Empire faced a period of upheaval.
Wang Wi-ryong was immersed in training.
After being defeated by the white-clad wizard who changed his name to Park Min-woo or Kim Pan-seok, he spent a lot of time training himself rather than politics.
It was the same today.
Swinging his sword until he was drenched in sweat, he wiped the sweat with the towel handed to him by his subordinate and saw Xiaolong waiting for him on the other side.
“What is going on?”
“I have something to report.”
“say.”
got a canteen
While drinking water, I heard Xiao Long’s voice.
“There was a small incident in the Korean Empire. A man named Park Chul-min, who belongs to the Incheon government, visited Miracle, a repair center in Seoul, to repair his sword. The problem is that the sword that Park Chul-min received as a supply is of such high quality that it moves the entire Korean Empire Artisan Association. As it turned out, it was revealed that the sword was handcrafted by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, and an unusual current is flowing between the Korean Empire government and the artisan association.”
“… A sword made by His Majesty the Emperor himself?”
“yes.”
tall.
Wang Weilong stopped moving.
The reason he ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the Korean Empire was because of his excessive loyalty to Roman Dmitri.
If anything happens, run to it in a month.
As a descendant of the Heavenly Demon, Baek Jung-hyeok had a strong desire to show his loyalty even if he did not give a special order.
Then.
I came across the work of the artisan association by chance.
It was a story that could be passed on normally, but Wang Wi-ryong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
‘It’s the sword of the Heavenly Demon.’
The pupils fluctuated.
own father.
There was one story that really impressed me when he told me a story passed down from generation to generation from his ancestors.
“The heavenly demon, Baek Joong-hyeok, was a person who reached the highest level as a craftsman. Every time the moment of decisive battle was approaching, he made a sword suitable for his current self, and the 39 swords born in that way were called the Swords of the Heavenly Demon and were evaluated as the greatest treasure of the Moorim. It is said that they have all been lost now, but at one time, my wish was to hold the sword of the Heavenly Demon, Baek Joong-hyeok, and practice the Heavenly Demon swordsmanship.”
A thrill arose.
Father’s dream!
Hearing the story, he also had a strong desire in his heart!
forgot for a while
Roman Dmitri’s existence was so sudden that he did not have time to think of the ‘Sword of the Heavenly Demon’ recently.
However, Xiao Long’s report brought back memories. At the same time, I felt a mixture of anger and jealousy.
It was his lifelong wish to use the sword of the Heavenly Demon, but Cheol-Min Park, who belonged to the direct jurisdiction, received the Sword of the Heavenly Demon without knowing how great its value was.
Greed was intense.
supplies.
Someone would cut down the value just because it was supplied, but Wang Wi-ryong didn’t think so at all.
One month before the technical presentation.
“Prepare a teleportation magic circle heading to the Korean Empire right now. I have to meet Park Cheol-min myself.”
Make tech presentations buzz.
Wang Wi-ryong’s trip to Korea has been decided.
