Baron Romero's Troubles (2)

Morcan.

It was a familiar name.

I worked for a long time in an iron mine, and I heard that this time I was selected as a safety officer.

A person who can be trusted enough. Besides, if Jacob brought him here on purpose, he would be a good spokesperson for the iron mine.

said Baron Romero.

"Yeah, you were with Roman at the scene?"

Yes.

"Tell me in detail what happened at the time. How Roman behaved when the accident occurred, why he was interested in iron mine safety issues, and whether it was right that he found a solution himself. I want you to tell me the truth without any lies or exaggeration."

Okay.

Morkhan did the courtesy.

as you experienced it.

Like Hans, he spoke his thoughts.

"The accident occurred about a week after Master Roman left work. A worker was injured in the collapse of the ground, and I, who was present at the time, ordered the rescue of the workers in a safe manner according to the accident manual. However, Master Roman had a different idea. I decided that I could save enough workers instead of taking risks if it was my ability, and I went to the scene of the accident myself, despite being stopped by myself and others. That's the truth. No one forced me to, no one asked me to, but the master made his own decisions."

It was like Hans' words.

Because he carried Dmitry's last name.

Roman took the risk.

Thinking of his son who must have gone down the dark basement alone, Baron Romero unwittingly gained strength in his hand holding the handle of the chair.

"Actually, I did not know the reason why the master came to the iron mine. However, after treating the wounded myself, I realized how pathetic and foolish I was as I watched the master say that he would solve the iron mine safety problem. The master did not have any special intentions. As the eldest son of the Dmitry family, I wanted to experience first-hand the hardships people were facing, and I said that I had to face a safety issue and I was responsible for solving it."

I was thrilled.

as one worker.

Morkan truly fell in love with Roman.

So, even though Roman proposed with a purpose, he believed that the truth was for the people of Dmitry.

"From start to finish. The way the safety issue was solved was the master's idea. If this place today is asking what kind of person you are, I would like to say that I am the heir of the Dmitry family that I sincerely trust and want to follow."

vomited the truth

Even when I bow my head.

The unshakable voice proved that there was no lie or exaggeration, as Baron Romero had requested.

" That's right."

I heard everything I wanted to hear.

Baron Romero sent 20,000 men back.

'Not a single one says that Roman is not suitable as Dmitry's successor.'

Iron Mine people.

This time, it was Roman's side.

I felt it while watching Morkan carefully speaking every word, in case Roman might become someone.

already.

To them, Roman was Dmitry's successor.

got into trouble

The trend has turned.

Everyone wants Roman, but that doesn't mean they haven't decided yet.

Master Blacksmith.

Still, the most important blacksmith's opinion remained.

a few days ago.

The blacksmith was working in front of the scorching flames of the hearth, just like any other day.

"Master."

Say it.

"Items have arrived in the name of Master Roman Dmitry. Shall I take it?"

Roman.

It was a taboo word for the blacksmith.

I tried not to mention Roman's name as much as possible since the last big deal, but I had to report it to Master Hendrick after receiving a request.

A blacksmith who is very nervous. However, Hendrick's reaction was different than expected.

receive.

" Yes?

"Are your ears blocked? get it."

"Oh, I see!"

The blacksmith ran hastily.

yet.

He was carrying a lot of iron.

I couldn't take it all by myself, so several blacksmiths stuck together, and the forge was suddenly full of iron weapons and armor.

It was not an amount that could be finished in a day or two.

Considering his personal feelings for Roman, of course he had to reject it, but Hendrik looked carefully at the steel with a face without objection.

"It's really messed up. How long have you been training like this?"

It looked like they were the soldiers following Roman.

Actually.

In my heart, I wanted to refuse.

But recently, my feelings towards Roman have changed a bit.

After hearing about the incident in the iron mine through Jacob, Roman seemed a little different when he said that he risked his life to save the workers.

If you think about it, it could not be said that it was Roman's fault that they had a heated argument at the blacksmith's shop.

As a father-in-law, he showed an easygoing attitude, and from Roman's point of view, it was natural to be angry.

this day.

The meaning of the reply was strong.

There was something wrong with Roman, so I wanted to relieve his heart by doing what he asked for.

so that.

I carefully inspected the condition of the items.

what's the problem

I thought about how to make Roman satisfied.

By the way.

Hendrik, who was checking the iron piled up like a mountain, widened his eyes when he saw a sword that had been left out.

" Hey, what the hell is this?!"

It was certain.

this black.

It was a famous sword that was not commonly found on the continent.

Hendrick is a craftsman.

Because he worked blood and sweat at the blacksmith for decades, he was able to recognize the brilliance of the famous sword at once.

"Where did you get these things?"

I looked at the sword in the light.

The twinkling light glided down the blade smoothly, and the grip of the gently rolled handle was an art.

The strength of the blade that I tapped was also very appropriate.

It could not be said that it was the best sword on the continent, but it was hard to find a sword of this size even in Dmitry, the stronghold of blacksmiths.

Above all.

There was a point that truly admired Hendrick.

'Mana's reaction is unusual.'

when the light is on.

It shone brightly with a black light.

That meant that the ability to receive the energy of nature, that is, mana, was different from other irons.

a very long time ago.

At that time, the standard of a great sword was simply to cut well and be strong, but when Emperor Alexander opened up his possibility as an aura swordsman, the standard changed completely.

Its basic performance as a sword became natural, and it was recognized as a famous sword depending on how well the sword accepted mana.

Hendrick took the sword to the flames.

very occasionally.

Weapons with excellent mana responsiveness would cause dramatic phenomena just by bringing them to the flames.

Just like right now.

Hwareuk.

gurgling.

" ?!"

Flames engulfed the sword.

To be precise, the flames that should be burning in all directions showed a tendency to burn around the sword as if they were being dragged by gravitational force.

To be precise, it wasn't dramatic enough to say it was wrapped around.

However, even without mana injection, if the effect was this much, it was clear that this was something Aura swordsmen would be delighted with.

'I wonder if there were such treasures in the world.'

My heart was pounding.

Hendrick prided himself on being the best on the continent for his iron handling skills.

However.

Increasing mana reactivity was another matter.

How the hell could you make something like this?

Seeking curiosity as a craftsman, he approached the blacksmith who had just brought the weapon and asked.

"This sword. Whose is it?"

he knew it too

If it's Roman's request.

Who is the master of the famous sword?

Still, the truth had to be confirmed, and, as expected, the blacksmith spoke the name Hendrick had in mind.

" It belongs to Master Roman. After recovering all the soldiers' weapons and armor, the sword was entrusted to me. But what's the problem? If you command me even now, I will return all of these to Master Roman."

"No, you don't have to."

Roman.

That name stuck in my mind.

Where did you get this sword?

If it was Dmitry's wealth, he would definitely have paid a large sum of money to buy it.

If so, who the hell made the sword?

Numerous questions have been asked, and for Hendrik, one conclusion has been reached in the end.

'Let's directly ask where the sword is from.'

the child is worn out

I didn't want to chat with Roman, but now I'm so greedy that I have to bow my head first.

To meet Roman.

I had to process his request quickly.

Without any results, I can't ask with just a sword.

Hendrick exclaimed.

"Call all the blacksmiths you can afford right now. We will have to complete this work in a few days!"

Here.

Hendrick's words were law.

From that day on, the smith did not know that the fire would go out until the sun went down.

????????

Kakacan.

The blacksmith poured the iron on the floor.

At the sight of the steel shining like new, Chris showed genuinely surprised eyes.

"Is it over already? I thought it would take at least two weeks since there were 30 officers.

" So am I. I thought I would work slowly over two weeks, but for some reason, Master Hendrick's eyes turned around, and all the blacksmiths who could afford it stuck to this work."

The blacksmith trembled.

last few days.

It was a hell of a schedule.

The night work was dangerous, so I didn't force it, but I had to beat the iron continuously in the forge from sunrise to sunset.

I couldn't fully enjoy the rest time that was normally guaranteed.

The master of the smithy puts bread in his mouth in one minute and runs straight to the smithy, how on earth can the blacksmiths under him rest?

After working for three days, I finally got the result I am today.

"Be sure to ask Master Roman later. Why is Master Hendrik so worn out?"

I know.

Chris nodded.

I glanced to the side and saw Roman and Hendrick having a conversation.

Hendrick's face was blank.

He was very tired from overworking, but his eyes were full of strong enthusiasm.

"Roman. Where the hell did you get this sword? Who else made the sword?"

fired the question.

As if to answer quickly.

Even with Roman in front of him, he could not hide his annoyance.

on that look.

Roman smiled.

'As expected.'

From the first time I commissioned it.

Roman expected Hendrick to react like this.

The class of artisans is the same.

When you see an attractive object, you have no choice but to react like Hendrick, no matter what relationship you have with the owner of the object.

so that.

Roman gave the answer he had already thought about.

"It's not the sword I got it from. I made the sword myself."

" what?!

Hendrick's face was colored with astonishment.

that's.

It was a very shocking remark that I had not even dared to imagine in the past few days.
