To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 546

Episode 546 Saving the Earl (4)

The blacksmith who was watching him from afar snorted.

‘joy. There’s no way I’ve ever touched iron.’

Even if you borrowed the whole forge, there is a limit to the hands of a beginner.

Blacksmithing is not funny enough that a cool sword can be born simply by tapping a little iron.

Do you know what he thinks?

Ray looked at the furnace and smiled.

‘The firepower is stronger than it looks.’

I didn’t expect tools because the blacksmith’s skills were poor.

It seems that the brazier is using an expensive one.

However, there was a feeling that the time was a little short to melt the iron.

Ray moved Mana without Zahas’ knowledge.

As the mana flowing from his fingertips fueled the fire, the heat of the brazier rose.

Soon after, the iron melted, and Ray slowly poured molten iron into the mold.

Since it is a blacksmith that specializes in making swords, fortunately the mold is normal.

After the iron took shape, he finished lightly polishing and prepared for the podium.

As he was measuring the weight of the hammer, he rolled it in his hand and smiled.

“It’s good that it’s heavy!”

Let’s hit the heated iron with a hammer once.

Kaaaang-!

With a clear sound, the smithy is energized.

The blacksmith, who was counting the gold coins on the table, got goosebumps.

He has been blacksmithing for 20 years, but it is the first time he hears such a loud sound.

‘It must have been a coincidence.’

He tried to bring his eyes to the gold coins, but unlike his heart, his mind was focused on the forge.

Kaaaang-!

After the second note identical to the first one.

The blacksmith kicked off his seat and ran toward the furnace.

“What the hell are you talking about!”

Kaaaang-!

I went to the place where I shouted, and the person of the example was tapping lightly with a hammer.

Use your shoulder to tap the iron with force up to your wrist.

Kaaaang-!

Even if you look at it, you can tell that it is not hitting hard.

Then what the hell is this arrogance!

The blacksmith was fascinated and watched him work the iron.

When the hammer opened the iron finely, the sword seemed to tremble as if it were happy.

If iron were alive, would it be like this?

The melody that the hammer makes is something he has never heard before.

Kaaaang-!

Every time he heard the sound, his whole body trembled like steel undergoing refinement.

* * *

Fold the iron and hit it with a hammer a few times.

Even though the blade has not been properly sharpened yet, it boasts a graceful appearance with the black thread that was born in Ray’s hand.

When the brightly colored double-edged sword appeared, Zahas shut his mouth like a mute who had eaten honey.

The blacksmith and Zahas were of one mind and could not take their eyes off the sword.

That said, the anticipation felt from the sword was no joke.

It is said that the sword made by a famous Dwarf craftsman gives the illusion that it can be cut just by looking at it, but the sword in front of you was exactly like that.

Ray examined the sword carefully and nodded.

“Roughly, this is like a sword.”

Do you think it looks like a sword?

Zahas looked at him with trembling eyes.

In his opinion, a sword of this size would not be ashamed of at all even if it was passed down through the family.

It’s a bit embarrassing to evaluate the sword more harshly than anyone else on the subject of making it yourself.

Ray stroked the blade a few times, finished it, and raised the sword.

I made a bag one by one, but there is still a lot of molten iron left.

Of course, he bought dozens of scrap swords from the blacksmith.

Some time after the first one was completed, Ray started making the second sword again.

Seeing that, he thought that the blacksmith was not himself, but that he was more like the blacksmith.

‘I must have been doing it wrong.’

Blinded by money, he gave up on his work and was doing something he shouldn’t have done.

The blacksmith, who was reflecting on his actions, carefully observed Ray blacksmithing from a distance.

That’s how Ray ended up spending a whole day at the forge with the two of them.

* * *

He made twenty swords through the night.

Zahas gulped down his saliva as he watched as each one was comparable to a famous sword.

With the leather cloth wrapped around her arm, Ray took her seat in an appropriate place as soon as she got out of the forge.

A road where many people pass by.

Rather than a place where stalls are lined up, a few cloths are spread in an alley lined up to imitate a stall.

“Zahas. Bring 20 seats out of the 50 seats left at the grain store.”

“Are you going to sell all that amount? I think it would be better not to overdo it from the first day.”

“Heh heh. Maybe they’ll be clamoring for more?”

Although the way he boasts is questionable, none of the things he has shown so far have been ordinary.

Zahas has been looking for grain in silence.

Lay, who had spread out the stalls and piled sacks of grain, started business in earnest.

His eyes went to the sword he was holding.

Even without solicitation, adventurers lined up at his stall.

“I want to buy that sword.”

“Ten gold coins per sack.”

“Ten.”

It was a lot of money to pay for a single sword, but seeing the sword spewing out anticipation draws my appetite.

The adventurer willingly offered the money without much hesitation.

“Give me one.”

“thank you.”

He bought a sword for thirty copper coins and sold it for ten gold coins.

A big smile appeared on Ray’s face at the ridiculous profit.

As time passed, Ray’s stalls became word of mouth among adventurers.

They say they’re selling ridiculous swords.

In addition to grain and silk, they also dealt with miscellaneous accessories, so it was considered a merchant of all things in the village.

Also, in the case of grain and silk, it was cheaper to buy from him than from ordinary stores, because they were bought cheaply in bulk.

As a result, various people, from village women to adventurers, visited Ray’s stall and traded.

Zahas’s eyes widened as time passed and the goods disappeared and the money increased instead.

In no time, all twenty grains were sold, and only a sword worth ten gold coins was left, but many adventurers were paying attention because there were few items for sale.

“Give me that bastard sword.”

“No wait. If you sell it to me, I will pay double the price.”

“Get your hands off me. That sword was the first thing I noticed.”

“joy. Selling is the heart of the owner.”

As the situation progressed like this, Ray couldn’t hold back his laughter.

“I am a merchant. I have no choice but to sell the sword to someone who asks for a high price.”

As if he was instigating a fight, he continued with an attitude of ‘I don’t know’, and the remaining swords began to be auctioned off.

“Thirty gold coins!”

“No way! I’ll give you five more gold coins!”

“Look! I’ll give you forty gold coins! Sell the sword to me!”

Even with a little encouragement, the price soars to the ceiling, so there is no better situation than this.

As the price range increased, money-strapped adventurers became impatient.

As a result, the argument intensifies and a physical fight is about to begin.

Ray pulled them apart in a staggering moment.

“I will sell it for forty gold coins.”

There can be no objection to the fact that the merchant sets the price and sells it.

“Good idea!”

Since the sword was so good, the adventurer who had offered to pay forty gold coins was pleased and held out a bag of gold coins.

“Sheesh.”

“It’s too bad. Look at this, master. When will the next item arrive?”

After thinking about it for a while, Ray replied.

“I think the next one will be a week away. There are also things like grain and silk, so please buy a lot.”

“It’s a week. Well, I don’t care how long it takes as long as I can get a good sword. Be sure to sell it to me next time.”

The adventurers looked down at their weapons and smacked their lips.

Looking at the splendid weapons just now, it seems that the beloved sword that I have been handling for several years looks angular.

When they left, there were only two left in the stall.

It’s like my pulse has been blown out.

Zahas exhaled.

“…What a crazy business it was.”

“It was fun, right?”

“Well… I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fun…”

he said, looking at the pile of gold coins on the floor.

In an instant, I earned well over a hundred gold coins.

If it were yesterday’s self, it’s a story that I wouldn’t have believed easily.

In just one day, he earned as much money as the rest of the upper ranks.

Ray picked up some of the gold coins scattered randomly on the floor, put them in his pocket, and handed them to Zahas.

“take it. This is my daily wage.”

It was only about three gold coins, but to Zahas, it was enough money to live on for half a year.

He waved his hand in amazement.

“I didn’t do anything right today. Wasn’t the sobriety responsible for both selling and buying?”

“Once you make money, you become motivated. If you do stalls until the top gets bigger, I’ll give you 100% of the profits I made that day. I have to come out early tomorrow to work, so buy some meat today and spend time with my family.”

“Everyone is sober…”

It’s not enough to give them a down payment, so to say they’re paying even the daily wages like this.

Originally, it was a treatment that I could not have imagined.

The more he thought of being favored by Ray, the more he became motivated.

‘I’ll have to work harder from tomorrow.’

to repay the favor.

On top of that, if the profit of the day rises, your daily wage also increases.

Even if you earn just one gold coin a day, it will be thirty in a month.

Zahas recalled himself buying a small plot with his family, building a house, and farming.

A smile crept across his face involuntarily.

“Don’t like it too much. I don’t know what business will be yet.”

“Even if Danju only makes and sells swords, it can be considered a half success. haha.”

“There are limits to what I can create. It’s not like you’re going to open a blacksmith’s shop at all, but if you want to be at the top, you’ll have to expand your network of trades first. Business will be a little different from tomorrow.”

How does business change?

Today’s business alone was successful enough.

When Zahas tilted his head, Ray grinned.

“First of all, I will become the top of the town.”
