Episode 93: Cheolunbi, the world’s greatest master (1)
Yujinsan arrived at his destination after running for half a day with his granddaughter.
A sparsely populated manor on the outskirts of Yang Yu-hyeon.
Seeing the constant sound of anvils and hammers, it seemed like we had come to the right place.
“It seems like this is the place.”
“Wow. “Are you going to make my weapons here?”
Was it because he had experience going to Hohyeon’s blacksmith shop? I had already noticed the rumors.
“Okay, let’s go in first.”
“My grandpa is the best~ hehe.”
“Do you know that now? “Grandpa, I will pretend to be your younger brother and stay still, but this time, Seol will come forward and talk to me.”
You will need a lot of experience to wisely navigate this difficult world.
Therefore, this time, I planned to watch from behind and instill negotiation experience in my granddaughter.
“What about money?”
Yu Jin-san’s eyes turned to the bag hanging on the child’s waist.
“You calculate first. “Maybe that will be enough.”
Of course it was a lie. How much pocket money can you have?
Yoo Seol, who knew nothing, seemed to be in a good mood and kept shaking his grandfather’s hand.
“Okay, I’ll take care of it.”
The first thing that caught my eye was the large engraved phrase at the entrance to the manor.
『The iron head does not discriminate among customers under any circumstances.』
This means that he will make anything without making a fuss as long as the price is paid.
This meant that he would not intervene in the disputes between the two powers and that he would strictly adhere to the principle of neutrality.
Unless you were from a military family, it was a natural thing to do. That way, you will survive on this floor for a long time.
As I entered the entrance, I was impressed by the long rows of bellows and braziers on the left and right sides of the yard.
Even at this moment, dozens of craftsmen were working with tools.
bang-! Valid-! bang-!
“Hmm!”
As soon as he pretended to be happy, a tall man with a cloth tied around his head approached him, clutching a hammer.
The arm muscles writhing under the rolled up sleeves were quite impressive.
He looked at Yujinsan and Yuseol with a cute expression.
“Youngja monks came to receive donations? “Which temple did you come from?”
“We are not monks. “I came to make weapons.”
Was it because the child’s expression was too serious?
Jang Han couldn’t hold back his laughter and burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha! Thanks to you, I can laugh out loud for the first time in a long time. “This is not a place that makes toys, so go somewhere else.”
“Really. “I brought money here too.”
Yu Seol opened the pouch of her belt from her waist and showed it to him.
Dozens of coins. It was enough money to buy snacks, but making weapons with it was out of the question.
Jang Han’s face turned red little by little as he looked inside the bag.
“...kick.”
It must be holding back laughter.
And the continued rumor made him lose his mind.
“I’ll give you this, so please make two windows.”
Jang Han even dropped the tool he was holding in his hand and grabbed his belly button.
“Puhahaha!!”
He laughed so hard that there were tears in his eyes.
Realizing that he had been ignored, Yoo Seol stared at his grandfather with a pouting expression.
“Ssi....”
Of course, I couldn’t help but feel grumpy.
Yu Jin-san nodded as if it was okay and patted the child on the back. This experience was also a valuable foundation that would become my bones and flesh in life.
Above all, the goal was fully achieved. It got enough attention.
“What?”
“what’s the matter?”
Blacksmiths from all over gathered together one by one.
They lived a boring daily life with tools all day long. How could you miss out on a little fun?
“haha! “Brothers, these kids came to make weapons.”
“Puhaha! Is that really true?”
“Why don’t you at least make me a toy and send it to me.”
Weapons with the name of the Iron Chief engraved on them are considered luxury goods even in the powerful world, and their value reaches at least several tens of silver coins.
“Where is Jin-gyu’s work?”
“Look here, father. “It is definitely authentic.”
The matriarch was speechless for a while.
The hand that carefully stroked the blade of the spear was full of emotions.
His interest was only focused on the Hwaryong Shinchang, and he was not even interested in who the children who brought the weapons were or what their story was.
Soon, the head of the family released energy, and a red air current surged from the tip of the spear.
Shoot!
It was not a prostitute, but an energy of a strange nature. However, the felt momentum seemed strong enough to withstand even strong weather.
After dissipating his energy, he continued to fumble and examine the spear blade again.
After a while, a soft word came out of the matriarch’s mouth.
“So far, I’ve been making trash.”
“Father...”
The strong men bowed their heads in solemnity.
“How can our family, which failed to produce such weapons, be said to be the most famous family in the Central Plains?...” “
....”
The arrogant craftsmen of the Iron House were unable to say anything.
Just as the atmosphere was getting strange, Yoo Seol broke the silence and asked.
“Then can’t we make a new one now?”
“...Even if I wanted to, it’s impossible. “It is more difficult to obtain materials than to obtain stars, so how can it be possible with will alone?”
I couldn’t even try it because I couldn’t find the ingredients until now.
Jinsan Yu, who was watching at that time, spoke for the first time.
“Thaw that window. “You can use it again as an ingredient.”
“...?”
Are you going to melt Jin-gyu’s weapon? What could be crazier than this?
But it wasn’t a waste at all for Eugene Mountain. No matter how great a master spear was, if it did not fit the hand, it was no better than a bamboo spear.
At that time, when Yu Jin-san took something out of his pocket, everyone’s eyes widened.
“It is the spiritual stone of the dragon.”
A colorful bead that emits brilliant light.
It seemed that no jewel in the world could be more beautiful than this.
Yu Seol glanced at his grandfather. The look in his eyes was as if he was asking why he didn’t tell me.
“...Where did you get this?”
“I’ll tell you later. First, make a request.”
First of all, the priority was to deal with the task at hand.
The head of the iron family who received the spirit stone was trembling.
“Really... are you really saying that it is okay to melt this window?”
Jinsan Yu nodded without hesitation.
“I would like to request two sacks. The length of the handle is five inches and the length of the blade is one foot and five inches. “One of the two blades is without a blade.”
It was a bit shorter than a typical window, but that wasn’t a problem.
Contrary to his intentions, the head of the iron family was hesitant to answer.
It was a natural reaction since the clients were so young.
What if they were children of a prestigious family who secretly took the family heirloom? If he recklessly melted Jin-gyu’s spear and the experts came and questioned him, he wouldn’t be able to handle the repercussions.
There was no way Yu Jin-san could not have known those intentions.
He sent a message to the head of the Iron House without anyone knowing.
– I am like this because I have a story, but as the head of the family, I have the authority to melt down the family heirlooms. I think you also have the authority to accept my request.
A tone of voice that reflects one’s years of experience and a leisurely look in one’s youthful eyes.
This was by no means something a child could imitate.
The head of the family was looking at Mt. Yujin, and her heart was shaking violently.
At that time, his eldest son Cheolwoong, who was watching from the side, noticed his feelings and tried to dissuade him.
“Reject it, father. Even if I receive a request, I will do it.”
“You must not come forward. “It’s something that couldn’t be accomplished without me.”
The head of the family, who had already retired due to old age, would pick up tools again.
Cheolwoong sighed as if he was frustrated.
“after. It is impossible to refine Hyeoncheol with your current stamina. “Then he might die.”
Making a weapon consumes a lot of energy. Moreover, it is known that smelting string iron is dozens of times more difficult.
But for some, it was something worth enduring death for.
From a master’s perspective, the greatest honor was to create a new weapon that would leave a lasting mark on the world.
The head of the family made up her mind and put both hands together and wrapped her arms around Jinsan Yu and her granddaughter.
It was a formal courtesy given by the head of the Iron House to the client.
“Fire Dragon and Fire Dragon. I will burn my last soul and create two twin dragon spears.”
