Episode 361: Pride of a famous family (2)
While the grandfather left for the drawing room again.
Yu Seol was sitting in the corner of Shakajang’s workshop, removing scales.
It was so tough that my fingers started to tingle after a while.
But if you do anything, you learn the ropes.
At some point, Yuseol began using the tools of craftsmen.
The scales are separated by using specially made tongs with as many as seven layers of internal strength.
Percussion-! Percussion-!
Yu Seol passed the removed scales to the side one by one.
“How many scales do you need?”
Beside him, Seok Seok-gwang, the son of the family head, was squatting down, washing and drying the scales one by one.
“Father said we need at least three hundred and sixty.”
“Ugh. There are about half left now. Why on earth do I have to take all this off?”
It took me half a day to work, but I was only halfway done.
It’s frustrating because the work speed is slow.
“The goal is to manufacture it to be light and flexible while also having the strongest protection ability. “These scales will be combined with the skin of the spirit beast called Soryong, owned by our family, using Cheonjamsa.”
“What’s next?”
“Afterwards, we connect each part and work with the spirit stone of the Kirin to bring the armor to life. “Only my father can do this.”
Yu Seol seemed to be bored, so he chattered non-stop while peeling off his scales.
Percussion-! Percussion-!
“I’m curious... I want to try it on quickly.”
“It will take more than ten days at the earliest. “It may take several months.”
“That long? “I have to go fight soon.”
Isn’t the showdown with the leader approaching?
The chances of it being completed before then seemed slim.
“You should ask your father for more details. By the way, Mr. Eumgoe. “Do you mind if I ask you one question?”
Even so, I had no reason to refuse since I was bored.
“Ask. “What are you curious about?”
Seok Seok-gwang asked, looking at the pink Yonghwachang set up on one side.
“Where was that window made? “With that level of quality, not just anyone can make it...”
As the eldest son of a famous armor family, he immediately realized that the Dragon Fire Spear was an unusual weapon.
“It was made at an iron shop in Hanam. i know?”
“I expected it, but it’s still like that. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the best weapon master in the world is the Iron Family and the best armorer is the Stone Family. “It’s a family that stands on two walls with us.”
Yu Seol tilted his head and asked.
“is it so? “The iron head seemed to have a lot of money.”
What he also meant was why Shakyamuni looked so poor.
Master Seok-gwang complained while washing his scales.
“After the war ended, demand for armor plummeted, so it was a disaster. I want to make a mass-produced version and sell it, but my father keeps opposing it. “What kind of pride is that guy?”
Yu Seol nodded and said as if he sympathized.
“That’s what I think too. My grandpa says money isn’t important, but when you know it, it’s the most important thing. “Pride doesn’t feed you.”
“That’s what I meant. So, could I... Eumgoe tell the martial arts people to wear some armor? “If you wear armor, you will fight twice as well.”
It was then. I wonder if an old man with a bushy beard is running from behind, clutching a tool.
“Sakwang, you bastard! “What kind of rude joke are you making to your guests!?”
Seok Seok-gwang, startled, jumped up from his seat and ran away, shouting.
“Oh father! Aren’t we all doing this to make a living too!?”
The head of the family, Seok Mun-hyeok, came to the spot where he fled and put his hands together.
“This is just nonsense from a crazy person, so you don’t need to worry. “That guy is still immature...”
Yu Seol chuckled as if there was nothing to worry about and focused on removing the scales.
Percussion-! Percussion-!
“But grandpa. “How much does it cost to make armor?”
This is because Shijiazhuang has not yet presented the cost.
“After the armor is completed, the customer should judge and decide the value.”
This means that you will receive what you give.
However, his expression and tone of voice showed great pride.
“What if I give you one coin?”
Seok Mun-hyuk answered without any hesitation.
“If you think the armor is worth it, you can do so.”
“great. “Once it’s all made, I’ll judge and give it to you accordingly.”
“Please do so. But is it possible to get Cheonjamsa Temple? Because it is an expensive material that is very difficult to obtain...”
Myohwabang was a place that specialized in handling all kinds of rare items from Kangho.
“That’s blunt. “If I tell you once, what will happen?”
“You know very well. “I’m already married so I don’t want to have children.”
“I don’t think your brother’s only remaining granddaughter thinks that way?”
“Hmm! “What did our Seol...”
He cleared his throat for a moment. The door to the guesthouse opened and a woman approached carrying a table of refreshments.
It was two cups of tea and snacks such as sweets.
“Thank you, Yuna. “Leave it.”
“yes. If you need anything else, please call.”
When the serving woman left, Baek Yo-ran quickly picked up a sugarcane and put it in her mouth.
“After doing this anti-Rohwandong process, my appetite also got younger. Something sweet is delicious, so give it a listen.”
“You know very well. “I never ate snacks in the past either.”
“Well, that’s true. But what’s going on here? “It’s not like your blunt brother came to see me.”
After hesitating for a moment, Jinsan Yu spoke of business in a depressed voice.
“I’m making a piece of armor, and I heard I need some Cheonjamsa as material. “Just give me one bundle on credit.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yaoran held her belly button and laughed.
She laughed for a while, then wiped away her tears and said.
“Do you know how much a bundle of Cheonjamsa costs? It must be over 500 nyang, right? “Just come bare-chested and present it?”
If I had known this would happen, I would have received at least enough money from my granddaughter.
The problem was that I just left because I was in no mood.
“They say you’ll pay it back later. “We can do that between us, right?”
“Inspiration. Did the drawing room look that funny?”
As expected, she was accurate when it came to calculations.
Yu Jin-san sighed and grabbed his teacup.
“After all, it just doesn’t work?”
Bai Yaoran sucked on the confectionery for a moment and stared at him intently.
That time when there was silence for a moment.
Her lips, as small and red as a cherry, were soft and sweet.
“It means you can’t do it with your bare body.”
“Then what do you want?”
Before she answered, she slipped a nut from her lips and pushed it into her mouth.
“Try to think about it slowly. “I think it’s because I can’t go back today.”
“What are you going to do? why?”
“well.”
What on earth are you trying to ask for? There was nothing left to guess.
But there is no choice anyway.
“Instead, you have to send it in the morning. “I can’t stay long because my baby is waiting.”
“morning? “Isn’t that up to you?”
“What what?”
She did not answer Jinsan Yu’s question.
Instead, he put down the leftover confectionery and changed the topic.
“Anyway, have you heard the news? “I heard that the Gwisalmun Gate was swept away not long ago.”
“What on earth do you mean?”
“They all died. “Not a single person is left behind.”
Jinsan Yu was speechless for a moment.
Where is the ghost gate? Isn’t this the clan where I stayed with my granddaughter not long ago?
They became closer as they enjoyed a banquet together for several days.
They were wiped out overnight? I couldn’t understand it at all.
“If Seol finds out about this, her eyes will roll. “Who on earth did this?”
“Nothing has been revealed. “I heard that not only the Gwisalmun Gate, but also several nearby Sa Sect factions suffered the same thing?”
What on earth is happening again?
At this point, the showdown with the Murim Lord is just around the corner.
“Do you know any more information?”
After reminiscing for a moment, she clapped her hands together and said.
“Now that I think about it, there’s one more thing. I heard that traces of red blood magic were found on the corpses?”
Yu Jin-san recalled what the Four Masters had said not long ago.
News that the secret weapon of Jeokhyeolshingong, a forbidden magic skill, was stolen from the Murim Alliance’s Jamryonggo.
Could it be that he has already learned martial arts and taken a test?
I couldn’t guess the evil beast, but I thought he might be a peerless expert with great qualities.
For some reason, I couldn’t ignore the uncomfortable feeling.
‘I guess I’ll have to find out what happened.’
