Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Chapter

88. Unexpected meeting of the congratulatory delegation (5)

The founder of Runkandel, the unfortunate first head of the family who could not settle down in the mausoleum.

A man who easily overwhelms the entire Great Desert of Mitra with his presence remaining in the mirage.

‘The land where Temar was first buried?’

There were at least two pieces of information in the brief.

It is certain that Temar’s tomb exists somewhere, and that there has been more than one burial.

It was just that he was trying to get the empty branche before anyone else based on his memories before returning, but it seemed that he would hear an unexpected secret story.

After returning, there were only two humans that Jin felt a kind of ‘competitive spirit’.

Father Shiron Runkandel and eponymous Temar Runkandel.

Since Jin’s stormy days, he vaguely had the idea of surpassing those two people, and as he grew up, his thoughts became more and more distinct goals.

There were more than one moment when I was curious about their old story.

Unlike the regressor himself, they are superhumans who have reached the end of nothingness with just one life.

“Did Solderlett really give you that order?”

I calmed down my excitement and decided to calmly listen to Picon’s words.

[It’s an order! It’s true that Solderlet sealed me as a god, but I’ve been equal with him since I was a human. I even chose this boring eternal life for Solderlet.]

It was Solderlet’s unique personality to get along with mortals without hesitation.

Most of the other gods had a very vertical relationship. Excluding those whose status is ambiguous, like Olmango, the god of clams…

That’s why Murakan is a creature, but he also calls solderlets this and that (Misha paid awe on his own). Jin also had a comfortable conversation when he communicated with him in his previous life.

[Although it’s true that I made a mistake with you the first time, I’ll apologize once again for that, so I hope you at least recognize that I’m your god’s best friend.] He was polite, but Picon didn’t like Jin’s overbearing tone

.

“All right. I will also apologize for the violence I inflicted on Picon.”

A legendary blacksmith and now a god, as well as a being who will provide you with very important information.

It wasn’t that difficult to please Picon a little bit.

[hmm! yes thank you But how did you know I was here and came to visit you?]

“I didn’t know. I was just trying to meet Vin Blanche, but I happened to meet Picon.”

[Oh, it’s just fate, it’s mysterious. That Solderlet friend was indeed looking ahead a thousand years later.]

Jin disagreed with Picon, but nodded.

If Solderlet was an omnipotent being who could foresee his fate a thousand years later, he thought that he would not have had to die and return so vainly.

Of course, just because he thought he was a god who wasn’t perfectly omnipotent didn’t mean Jin looked down on Solderlet.

It’s been almost 20 years since he hasn’t heard his voice as a contractor, but Jin still feels an indescribably deep gratitude to him.

“To be honest, it’s hard for me to understand that Growler died and Picon-nim became a new blacksmith god.”

[You can do that.]

“Even Bin Blanche was kidnapped and was in danger of dying just a moment ago. Seeing that he incarnated in his body, Picon-nim would have been able to subdue him. Why did you leave me alone?”

[There are not many people in the world who know that the blacksmith god is dead. It was the judgment that I could become a target for Solderlet’s enemies if I recklessly revealed my power before meeting you.] “

Then you were going to keep hiding until I showed up.”

[yes. Zipple Considering what those crazy things did to Temar’s tomb, I had to hide myself unconditionally.]

“What if the thieves harmed Vin Blanche?”

[I would have stayed still. Even if Bin dies.]

Then, in my previous life, I was discovered around 24. At that time, the compass would have been with the enemies.

Or maybe Picon broke his promise to Solderlet for some reason.

Jin swallowed the words and nodded.

[I also felt bad when I saw my descendants living a mediocre life. After I became a god, I only signed a contract with my direct descendants. However, I couldn’t help it to keep my promise to Solderlet.]

“…Wait a minute, so you’re saying that Picon’s descendants haven’t received any benefits as contractors until now? because of me?”

[It’s like that.] As

soon as I heard it, it felt like a rock was stuck in my chest.

Picon’s direct descendants would have been able to live affluent lives with the support of the Minche Blacksmith Association even if they had no talent.

But Picon himself hid his first direct descendants, so to speak, his son and daughter. before becoming a god.

Since then, his descendants, who have never seen Jin’s face, have lived a life deprived of all the benefits they should have enjoyed.

Among them, there were those who lived a very prosperous life by becoming rank-and-file merchants, but most of them endured a trivial reality like today’s Bin Blanche.

There was not a single person who fully developed his talent as a blacksmith.

It was because Picon was deliberately blocking the potential of his descendants for fear of being targeted.

‘All of them were sacrificing for me? Because of Solderlet and Picon’s arbitrary decisions?’

Suddenly, I remembered what I had experienced in Colon.

[I was waiting for someone to take this. That boy, the thousand-year contractor that Solderlet spoke of.]

The words of Klam, who descended through Laosa.

At that time, he only thought that he had ended the tragedy that the colonists had suffered.

But it wasn’t. Like the descendants of Picon Minche, they also sacrificed themselves for Jin without even knowing it.

very much

I felt unfair and harsh. It was because Jin also had a dark time when he struggled without knowing that he was cursed.

After reading Jin’s feelings, Picon quietly continued.

[I know what you’re thinking. But for us, know that this was for the best.]

Why did you sacrifice your descendants for me?

Jin didn’t know that shouting like that now would mean nothing to himself, let alone the descendants of Picon, who had already died.

It was just a complaint.

You can’t undo what has already happened, Jin just.

I had to take a deep sense of responsibility. To the countless people who were sacrificing for themselves without even knowing it.

And the results had to come.

Regardless of what Solderlet intended, Jin had to realize what he believed was right.

Of course, the process included the destruction of Ziple, and another one was just added.

To no longer make someone sacrifice for themselves.

Of course, I wouldn’t always be able to bear all the burdens in the world alone, but at least I wanted to make sure that nothing so unfair happened.

Do you need countless elements to realize it?

The first of these was overwhelming force. It required a power so strong that no one would dare to say that they would sacrifice themselves.

The second is the absolute power to support oneself.

Those two things were a matter of climbing to the top of Runkandel. A bigger fire was kindled once more in the desire to ascend the throne.

“Don’t stop me from supporting Vinh Branche. The same goes for the descendants he will have.”

[…I got it.]

“And you worked hard.”

It wasn’t just Picon’s descendants who sacrificed.

Picon Minche must have suffered from remorse whenever he failed to help his descendants.

‘Looking at how they shouted loudly to tell Bean to steal Bradamante, it doesn’t seem like it…? They raised me in earnest. I even said something.’

Anyway, Picon was very moved by Jin’s greeting.

Water was forming on the whitened eyes.

[Solderett’s last contractor isn’t too bad. It’s okay to forge the sword with all your might.]

“I’ve been curious about it since before, what does it mean to forge Bradamante? And tell me what is the meaning of the place where my ancestors were first buried.”

[First of all, as you know, Bradamante was a test piece to make Barisada. Even so, in the eyes of you Runkandel and other people, they recognize it as a rare sword that is only slightly inferior to Barisada.]

Bradamante and Barisada.

It was Solderlet who asked Picon to make the two brother swords.

As the god of swords and shadows, he thought he needed a special sword for his contractor, Temar Runkandel.

However, while Barisada was a ‘completely finished product’, Bradamante was a sword with many problems.

At least by Picon Minche’s standards.

[It’s true that even if it’s a test piece, it’s a great sword as I mobilized all my abilities at the time. At least when it comes to attacks using aura, it can produce about 60% of Barisada’s power, and it’s cast with ancient iron, so it’s never broken…] For a while,

Picon praised Bradamante like a proud braggart.

As he was a blacksmith to the bone even in his human days (far beyond the general standards), he actually had a deeper affection for the masterpieces of his own craft than for blood and blood.

Bradamante is the third item among them, so it is naturally lined up.

[…But Bradamante’s only downside is that it doesn’t protect you.]

“Protection? It’s not even armor.”

[I’ve made countless armors in my life, but I’ve never seen anything better than armor formed with aura. That’s why when I made Barisada, I set up a device so that armor is formed when I inject aura.]

For example, Picon wanted to add that function to Bradamante.

One of the biggest reasons he decided to become a god in accordance with Solderlet’s will was his desire as a blacksmith to turn an unfinished masterpiece into a finished product.

[So give me Bradamante here. I’ll forge it properly and give it back to you.] When

Jin obediently handed over Bradamante, Picon trembled as if thrilled.

[Finally, I can make my baby perfect…!]

“How long will it take?”

Of course, Jin didn’t look very good at him, who loved things more than blood.

However, geniuses among geniuses who have reached the extreme are not unfamiliar because they have often been severely distorted somewhere far away from the universal.

[At least half a year is a necessary task. There are quite a lot of materials you need to get.]

“Okay.”

[And one of them is in the place where Temar was buried first.]

“The fact that Temar was buried first means that there was a head burial, and the head would not have been necessary if it hadn’t been raided or stolen by someone. He also said that Ziffle did something to Temar’s grave. But is there still something left there?”

Then Picon smiled.

[Yes. The will of great knights. You will have to face those who were Temar’s will there.]
