Chapter 780



"The kingdom built by a blacksmith!”

The 1st ranked blacksmith, Panmir, was very excited when coming to the capital of the Overgeared Kingdom .  It was because the smithy complex contained large-scale smithies reminiscent of the dwarf city of Talima . The sound of hammering rang out around the clock, the smoke rose from every chimney, the scorching heat and the smell of steel . . .

This was truly a blacksmith’s paradise . A heaven made by a blacksmith for blacksmiths!

‘If I work here, my efficiency will rise sharply!’

A blacksmith’s heart knew blacksmiths well . Panmir admired the rational smithy structure and felt great pleasure . He could see how much consideration Grid put into the process of designing the smithy . Panmir’s ambition surpassed fullness and ascended into heaven .

"Is this the first smithy?”

After touring the smithies, Panmir moved to the smithy that would be his workplace in the future . He was so happy that his steps were light .

“Make way!”

“Hmm?”

Panmir, who was humming while walking down the street, paused and looked back .  There was a parade of people carrying huge flour bags that were over 100kg on their backs . Panmir frowned .

‘Slaves?’

The people burdened by flour bags were walking like ducks . It seemed very painful as they were sweating while covered in dirt . Someone couldn’t endure it and fell down along the way . But he immediately jumped up like he was afraid and ran with the heavy bags .

"Huh . . . truly harsh . ”

It was hard to see blatant slavery in the empire . Even the empire, which slaughtered thousands of minorities, didn’t treat slaves harshly, at least in the eyes of the people .  It was presumed to be the arrangement of the S . A . Group in consideration of the players’ emotions . However, there was such a terrible sight in the kingdom that a player had set up .

"It’s hard to understand . ”

Why didn’t Grid set a limit on slavery? Panmir tried to understand but it wasn’t easy .

“Huh?”

Panmir shook his head and was about to leave this place, only to feel amazed .  It was because he found a familiar person in the procession of slaves . Aura Master Hurent .

‘Hurent?’

Hurent was one of the strongest representatives of the United States . He was a big player who maintained the one digit ranking for years .  Many Americans missed him at the 2nd National Competition .  Every time the National Competition came around, the Americans had a habit of saying ‘If only there was Hurent . . . ’

Many people were looking forward to Hurent’s brilliant return and it was the same for Panmir .  Panmir had been looking forward to reuniting with Hurent once he emerged from his training . Now at this moment, he was reunited with an unimaginable figure in an unexpected place .

'Is Hurent a slave?’

Panmir was hallucinating . It was clear that he had seen wrong .  Panmir rubbed his eyes and denied reality . But when he looked back a few times, the slave really was Hurent . He was suffering more than any other slave . He was walking like a duck with six large bags of flour .

“U-Unbelievable! Hurent! What are you doing here?!”

Panmir couldn’t stand it and ran to Hurent . Hurent’s face was scruffy and he was covered with dirt . Was this the gentleman who looked like a middle-aged noble in Britain and was loved by women?

“W-What is going on? Why are you living in slavery?”

“Panmir . . . ?” Hurent recognized Panmir and laughed . “No, how did you know me after seeing me once? Other people thought I just had the same name . ”

"How can I not recognize you? You’re the buyer of the first epic rated weapon that I made!”

“Haha . . . Yes, there was something like that . ”



Hurent looked tired at first glance . Panmir was able to get a glimpse of how hard Hurent had been living if he kept having to do hard labor like this .

"How did you come here? Why did you become a slave?”

“What are you saying? I’m not a slave . ”

“Then?”

“A farmer . ”

“What . . . ?”

“I was doing field work in Bairan . Today we are carrying out the mission of transporting the food grown in Bairan to Reinhardt . ”

“Field work . . . ? Move food . . . ?”

"This isn’t a procession of slaves but a procession of farmers . ”

“Eek! You are crazy right now!”

Even if Hurent’s words were true, Panmir refused to accept it .  A one digit ranker representing a nation, why was the hidden class Aura Master suddenly a farmer? And what farmer carried so many flour bags weighing hundreds of kilograms? It was even at a duck pace! Where was the cart? The madman Hurent whispered to Panmir .

“Don’t worry . This is training . ”

“Training?”

"Yes . I’m currently living as a farmer in the Overgeared Kingdom to become stronger . But please don’t spread any rumors . This practice shouldn’t be known to the world . ”

“ . . . ”

This completely crazy bastard .  Or maybe Panmir was being deceived by a cheater . Panmir was at a loss for words .

"Adios . "

Hurent said goodbye and carried the flour bags on his back again . Then he chased after the procession with duck-like steps .

" . . . He’s out of his mind in the peak of his life .  Tsk tsk tsk . ”

This was the time when the expression ‘the end’ was used .  It was truly regrettable for the United States to lose a big star .  Panmir gave a deep sigh and moved with heavy footsteps .  The person waiting for him at the first smithy was a blacksmith with black skin . His name . . .

‘White?’

Why was a black-skinned NPC named White?

‘What is this hobby?’

Panmir had felt deeply uncomfortable since he saw Hurent . The Overgeared Kingdom started to seem strange .

“Are you Panmir?”

“That’s right . . . ”

“It’s nice to meet you . I’m Blacksmith White . Since Master Grid has instructed me to educate you, I will bestow my skills onto you from today on . Let’s make needles . ”

“What?”



Panmir frowned .  Who was this person? He was first in the blacksmith rankings and learnt how to make ego items at the dwarf city of Talima .  He was even recognized by the emperor and appointed as deputy chief blacksmith of the empire .  Even the older people of the empire, the arrogant blacksmiths, acknowledged him because he knew how to make ego items .

In other words, Panmir was one of the best blacksmiths .  Panmir was confident that there were few blacksmiths better than him on the whole continent . Yet a young blacksmith around 40 years old seemed to think he would teach Panmir .

‘I even have to make needles?’

He moved to the Overgeared Kingdom to be treated like this? Panmir calmed his mind and explained .

"You must be mistaken . I’m a blacksmith invited by King Grid . ”

“I know . ”

"You know? But you want to teach me? I also have to make needles that even a child can make?”

"These are instructions from King Grid . Are you going against the king?”

“Kuhum . . . !”

Panmir felt uncomfortable and his face turned red .

‘Grid wasn’t trying to make me a colleague . He just wanted to insult me?’

Such doubts arose . Despite his reaction, Blacksmith White was already moving to his private furnace and anvil .

He thought that Panmir would leave .

‘Yes, I should check how they will treat me . ’


He followed behind White . White was taking out a dark, matte material in front of the furnace .

“Umm?”

The grumbling Panmir’s attitude changed .

“What is this mineral?”

The color was the same as black iron, except that it wasn’t glossy . It was a crystal like mineral but magic power could be felt from it .  Panmir was very interested in the mineral and poked it with his fingers . His attitude was like a child seeing something for the first time .

White smiled . "You are really a blacksmith . Then check it yourself . ”

“T-Thank you . ”

White passed Panmir the mineral and he immediately used the appraisal skill . He was an advanced blacksmith with advanced mineral appraisal skills .

 

[Insane Dragon Iron]

A mineral that naturally occurs in the nest of the insane dragon Nevartan .

It has been influenced by Nevartan’s madness for countless years and gained the chaotic ability ‘Proliferation’

It doubles every 10 days .

This absurd nature makes it very difficult to control . The hardness is comparable to black iron, but the smelting difficulty is several times higher .

Weight: 5

 

"Heok!"

A mineral from a dragon lair? It was hard for an ordinary person to see such a mineral in their entire lifetime!

"Does the doubling include the volume and weight?”

“That’s right . This mineral becomes twice as heavy and twice as big every 10 days .

"Huh . . . it can be useful in some cases . ”

It wasn’t just one or two things that came to mind right now .  Panmir was inspired and wanted to work with this mineral right away . But the degree of difficulty was several times higher than smelting black iron . Therefore, he wondered if he could handle it with his skills . White read his mind and laughed .

“Don’t worry . From now on, I will teach you how to work this mineral . ”

“You . . . ?”

White was too young .  The blacksmith NPCs of this age that Panmir knew only had basic to intermediate level skills . The so-called geniuses were sometimes advanced level but they were far less than Panmir’s Advanced Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship skill .

Panmir didn’t really trust White . But he didn’t express his distrust . White was treating him well, so Panmir should be polite .

"I would appreciate it if you showed me . ”

“Then . ”

White nodded and threw the insane dragon iron into the furnace .

Puok! Puok!

“ . . . Huh?”

Panmir admired White’s appearance . White’s skills in dealing with the temperature of the furnace were comparable to the old men of the empire .

'Of course, it isn’t at a craftsman level . . . ’

It was important to consider White’s age . Unlike the old craftsmen of the empire, the young White had an infinite future . In 10 years, it seemed possible for him to catch up the craftsmen of the empire and even get ahead .

‘It’s tremendous talent . A different dimension from the geniuses I have seen so far . Is he a blacksmith specializing in the smelting technique? Heok?’

Panmir observed White closely in order to learn, only to suck in a breath .  It was because White’s atmosphere became different once he finished smelting the insane dragon iron and started hammering it .  He was like a sura .  The smithy was the battlefield and the flames of the furnace was the cries of the enemy . The insane dragon iron set on top of the anvil was the king of the enemy .  White grasped the weapon called a hammer and had the same dignity of a ruler of the battlefield .

Ttaaang!

White finished focusing and hammered the insane dragon iron as hard as possible .

Ttaang~! Ttaaang!

“ . . . ”

Panmir was shocked and couldn’t close his mouth . White’s hammering quality was equal to the old craftsmen of the empire!

“You, what is your identity?”

White explained to Panmir . "I am the head of the White Hammer Smithy and Grid’s disciple . Thanks to Grid’s deep compassion and precious teachings, I was able to become a craftsman . ”

"W-What?”

Grid didn’t just develop his skills but also nurtured blacksmith craftsmen? Panmir was feeling thrilled when White spoke even more shocking news .

"King Grid has three more disciples besides me . They are Enoch from the Blue Flames Smithy, Byuksan of the Black Anvil Smithy, and Lahochu of the Red Tongs Smithy . We all received King Grid’s order to educate you . ”

Duguen! Duguen!

Panmir’s heart beat in anticipation . It was fierce enough to be somewhat burdensome to a body that was halfway to 100 years old!

"Panmir, you will learn the skills of the four of us from today . It will surely be a tough road and I need to know if you have sufficient determination . Are you willing to receive our techniques?”

Ttiring~

 

[A hidden quest has been created . ]

[Learn the Blacksmithing Techniques (1)]

★ Hidden Quest ★

You have to spend 10 hours a day with White for a total of 300 days while learning his hammering techniques .

Quest Progress to Date: 1/300

Quest Reward: White Hammer Family’s Hammering skill .

 

He would receive teachings 10 hours a day for 300 days . He would need to invest four years if it was four people .  This was clearly a labor quest that violated common sense . It was clear that he had to be prepared to live a slave life like Hurent . Panmir clearly knew this fact, but didn’t hesitate .

“I will learn it! I want to thank King Grid for giving me the opportunity and I will passionately follow you!”

“Okay . ”

 

[The quest has been accepted . ]

 

The notification window popped up at the same time .

"Then gather some coal . I’ll let you know how to make the insane dragon iron needles afterwards . ”

White’s attitude changed . He started to give orders .

“C-Coal?”

"Yes, coal! Don’t you know coal? Why are you standing there with a stupid expression? These are chores for a newcomer! It’s the basics for a blacksmith!”

"Oh, no, I am an advanced blacksmith so . . . ”

“Really? Then you can quit . ”

"Coal! I will bring it right now!”

It was the day when the 1st ranked blacksmith got the job as a newcomer worker .  There were no rewards or skills learnt . Panmir’s days passed while occasionally eating rainbow potatoes and his persistence and stamina stats rose quickly .
