The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Fire in the Oven (2)

Garbage.

Hendrick’s eyebrows went up at the remark that touched his father-in-law’s pride.

“Dmitri’s iron is arguably the best quality in the Kingdom of Cairo. But you, who don’t even know how a forge works, and you who haven’t even sweated in front of a hot oven, dare to evaluate Dmitri’s iron!”

The voice rose.

Items evaluated by Roman.

It is true that in Dmitry, they are trash that are not treated even at a lower level.

but.

I didn’t like the fact that the main character of the remark was Roman.

In Hendrick’s memories, Roman was a human being who could not be rehabilitated, and his face was red with private emotions.

“If it hadn’t been for the request of your father, Baron Romero, I wouldn’t have given you anything. Roman Dmitry. You are the eldest son of the Dmitry family, who made blacksmithing their lifelong trade. When your younger brother, Rodwell Dmitri, worked under me for years to become the heir, you went out on the roadside and coveted the white skin of women, spending meaningless years. Do you know what that means? More than those things scattered on the floor, it means that you, Roman Dmitry, are trash that cannot be rehabilitated. Although they may be of poor quality, they will do their job if they find the owner, but as the eldest son of the Dmitri family, you are a trash that can’t help but do anything.”

It was a bitter poison.

Dmitri’s roots are in the forge.

The eldest son of the family who denied and neglected it could not earn the respect of the workers who built the family through sweat and blood.

‘Is this a situation like this again?’

Hendrick.

He’s the first guy I’ve ever seen

It was a face that Baek Joong-hyeok did not remember, but he was venting his anger toward Roman Dmitri based on his own experience, not prejudice.

I was used to it.

I hadn’t spent a long time as Roman Dmitri, but no matter where or who I met, no one showed friendly feelings from the start.

just one person.

Hansman was an exception.

Hans was devoted to Roman, so he brought him into his enclosure for no particular reason.

‘It’s not that I don’t understand Hendrick’s reaction. If Dmitri’s eldest son had no interest in blacksmith work, but then came and evaluated it when he had a purpose like this, I couldn’t help but feel bad.’

understood.

opponent’s thoughts.

opponent’s heart.

Hendrick’s anger was so natural, but there was one thing that bothered Roman when he faced it.

‘Master Blacksmith. Dmitri’s real estate agent and master craftsman in charge of the smithy. He deserves respect, but looking at the current situation, it’s a different story. He’s not denying that the items I’m evaluating are crap, he’s angry because he’s evaluating Roman Dmitri.’

Hendrick and himself.

leave the relationship

This was a separate issue.

widely.

Roman picked up a sword scattered on the floor.

Then he walked outside and shone his sword in the sunlight.

“It’s not that I don’t understand Master Hendrick’s anger. However, the transmission of power during the process of making the sword was so uneven that a shadow could be created simply by shining sunlight on this sword. It’s probably the result of an inexperienced blacksmith messing with his hammer. Therefore, it cannot be said that this is a product of iron demitric acid. Master Hendrick couldn’t deny that fact either, so he chose to criticize me instead of pointing out the word trash.”

“What!”

“Master Hendrick.”

I cut off my words.

Roman swung his sword in the air a few times and looked at Hendrik with a hard expression.

“just now. My soldier died, unable to cut through the flesh of an enemy with this trashy sword. The blade with the uneven surface could not cut the flesh cleanly, and the soldier who could not get the sword stuck in the muscle was blown away by the opponent’s sword with a puzzled face. How unfortunate is this? He did his best to survive, but he had no choice but to die because his trashy lord gave him trash.”

Took!

He threw away his sword as if showing off.

This time he picked up the armor and showed it to Hendrick.

“Why do you think Master Hendrick wears armor? Armor is worth its weight if it can protect you from enemy attacks even once. but. The soldier wearing this chain mail I supplied was betrayed and killed by the armor he trusted. It was believed that the tightly intertwined pieces of iron would protect the body, but the experimental work made by an unknown blacksmith could not block the enemy’s attack. The holes were pierced, the flesh cracked, and the viscera spilled through the chain mail.”

“What the hell are you talking about!”

“You still don’t understand me?”

People’s Prejudice?

understood.

He did not know that he had to endure prejudice because his previous owner lived like garbage.

but.

Hendrick has crossed the line.

He didn’t know what he had done to his personal feelings.

“I asked Master Hendrick for weapons and armor to arm my soldiers. If I hadn’t recognized that the things scattered on the floor were trash, the soldiers following me might have entrusted their lives to the trash without knowing anything. This is not simply a matter of retaliation with personal feelings. It was a matter of 30 lives, and Master Hendrick turned a blind eye to the truth even though he was unaware of the fact. If so, can you confidently say that you are a craftsman representing Master Blacksmith Dmitry? Innocent people almost died because of those things you gave out of your personal feelings for me!”

“… !”

Hendrick was taken aback.

Roman’s remarks.

That’s right.

But Hendrick didn’t even think of that situation.

I didn’t want to simply give Roman a good thing, and I didn’t think the soldiers would die because of it.

“I had no such intention!”

“Intent doesn’t matter. Weapons and armor have a clear purpose, and anyone can predict what results will follow when you give away trash like this. Therefore, I did not ask in the name of Roman Dmitri, but in the name of my father, Baron Romero. I’m asking for the best weapons and armor I can. And the result is this trash you can see right in front of your eyes.”

Took.

Click.

I pushed the iron strewn across the floor with my feet.

It was only then that Hendrick realized what mistake he had made at the sight of the falling steel.

“This act. May I take it as a protest against my father?”

protest.

For a moment, Hendrick felt his mind wander.

A line thought by Roman.

Hendrick’s attitude didn’t matter.

Master Blacksmith is in a position with enormous power over the eldest son of the Dmitri family, but Roman thought he had crossed the line the moment he gave ‘garbage’ to himself, who came with the name of Baron Romero on his back.

Roman respected Hendrick.

He was a hard worker, and it was necessary to establish friendly relations with him if we were to consider our future in the family.

but.

“I know what Master Hendrick thinks of me. I don’t mean to rebel against my father, I think he simply didn’t want to give me a good thing. The problem is that that in and of itself amounts to protest. Master Hendrick. After receiving permission from my father, I came to see Master. It was not a personal request, but the owner of this land ordered me to provide good weapons and armor.”

heavenly demon

Baek Joong-hyeok lived as a ruler all his life.

Having ruled over various people, he always adhered to one principle in any situation.

‘Hierarchical order. The moment the line between lord and subject becomes ambiguous, hierarchy and order collapse due to that relationship.’

A faithful servant.

A servant who was like a friend.

The moment he crossed the line as a servant, Baek Jung-hyeok punished him with a cold face.

It was no different now.

Even though he knew how important Hendrick was, the moment he crossed the line, Roman told the other person the reality.

Right.

So far.

Roman pressed Hendrick’s head.

“I will ask you again. what you did to me. May I take it as a protest against my father?”

“… What a protest! Absolutely not!”

Hendrick shouted in a fit of fuss.

Master Blacksmith.

He worked for decades to earn that title.

Baron Romero was a friend of Dmitri before he was the owner of the family, and they once burned together in front of the fire in the hearth.

Hendrick respected Baron Romero as his father-in-law.

Right now, I can’t hear much of the blacksmith due to the things I have to do as a nobleman, but Baron Romero is the best craftsman in Cairo recognized by Hendrick.

so that.

Hendrick swore allegiance.

He thought it would be okay to swear allegiance to Baron Romero, who truly understands and cares for blacksmiths.

It was then.

Blacksmiths from around Roman’s old castle flocked to it.

At first, they couldn’t figure out what was going on, but Roman’s remarks made their faces turn stern.

“If it is not a protest, please explain. why. Did you give me these things?”

“This bastard.”

“How dare you, Master Hendrick!”

The blacksmiths were furious.

The image of a blue kid urging Hendrik.

Anger exploded.

The blacksmiths seemed poised to rush at any moment.

Basically, when dozens of men with rugged physiques surrounded Roman, the atmosphere turned violent as it looked like violence was about to break out.

There is a saying in the world.

Even a vicious bunch like Blood Fang won’t touch Dmitri’s blacksmiths.

Since the blacksmith is a job that uses strength and handles weapons such as knives, there has been a case where the organization itself has collapsed after having quarreled for nothing.

an imminent situation.

Roman’s demeanor was calm.

He was neither taken aback by the blacksmiths’ threats nor reacted sensitively.

just.

I saw Hendrick.

Seeing him waiting for an answer, the blacksmiths’ patience reached its limit.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I can’t watch Dmitri’s idiot dare to go against Master.”

“Once overpowered!”

“yes!”

Hendrick is heaven to them.

Hendrick, who had remained silent as the blacksmiths rushed in unison, finally opened his mouth.

“stop!”

“… Master!”

“I told you to stop.”

Hendrick’s expression hardened.

Hendrick couldn’t understand the situation now.

The Roman he remembered was different.

An eye for recognizing iron.

The guts to ask yourself for the hierarchy.

And he didn’t have the courage to keep his back straight when the blacksmiths threatened him.

however.

Roman in front of him was bold.

Even though the blacksmiths were on the verge of attacking, Roman was looking at him without taking a step back.

‘One thing is certain.’

Hendrick said.

“sorry. This is entirely my mistake.”

Point out that it is a protest.

Hendrick took a step back.
