To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 743
Episode 743 Oh, My True Brother (8)
The hammer head strikes the iron placed on the anvil once.
Daang-!
A soothing noise that will make you feel refreshed.
Ray let go of the hammer after just one tap on the iron.
“Should I do more?”
“no. I had to stop.”
The blacksmith, who had been watching with his arms crossed, gently closed his eyes.
It’s great workmanship.
Even if you’ve been holding a hammer since you were little, it’s hard to become this proficient at this age.
‘You’re born with talent.’
If he had blamed the tools for the rusty hammer, he would have kicked them out right away.
However, Ray took one look at the hammer and immediately struck the iron.
It means that it is not a skill that is already courted by extension.
Wondering if it was a coincidence, the old man gave me a different hammer this time and said,
“Try knocking with this.”
Then, without hesitation, Ray accepted the hammer and hit the metal in the same way.
Daang-!
It is a clear sound that is unchanged from the first time.
I don’t know if it was once, but if the same result came out twice, it’s not a coincidence.
The blacksmith began to be coveted.
It’s been a long time since the bastards came out saying they didn’t want to take over the smithy.
Ray’s existence, which appeared in a car without a favorite heir to his old age, was like an oasis in the desert to him.
“I ask, but is the reason you rent a forge is to make presents for your parents?”
“yes.”
Looking straight into the eyes, the old man intuitively recognized that it was true.
Not only your skills, but also your filial piety!
The exhilarated old man burst into madness.
“Ha ha ha! good night! But there are conditions!”
“Conditions?”
The blacksmith grinned at Ray who tilted his head.
“Come under me!”
“To come downstairs means…”
“To connect this forge!”
Even if you are angry, you cannot be angry like this.
Now, your children will feel sad when they hear that you are going to hand down your blacksmith shop to someone you have never seen before.
Ray immediately refused.
“I can’t do that. I have work to do.”
“Why don’t you stop worrying about it? If you keep working hard, your skills are at the level of being taken from the kingdom. Every blacksmith in the world will dream of working under you.”
At those words, Ray hardened his heart even more.
“sorry.”
He had no intention of monopolizing the love of black men.
Then, it was the old blacksmith who was now on the shit line.
His forge is by no means small.
This is the blacksmith’s shop with the largest volume of transactions in this area.
Of course, the skills were also enough to match it.
The old man, who had expected Ray to tearfully and honorably agree, was quite taken aback by the unexpected answer.
“Then study under me for one year!”
“What is a year for renting a forge once? I’d rather build a forge.”
“half a year!”
“Grandpa, I’m going.”
“You rotten kid! It’s a month! Learn from me for just one month, and if you still don’t stand still, don’t give up!”
A month is a long time.
Ray pulled himself out without even thinking.
“Get another fresh kid instead of a rotten kid.”
“Ouch! How about a week?”
Ray also stuck out his tongue at that tenacity that he did not know how to give up.
“No, why are you so obsessed with it?”
“Shouldn’t the forge be maintained? No matter how excellent a blacksmith is, it is meaningless if the master cuts off.”
keep it
no wait.
If you think about it another way, you’re saying that all you have to do is find another successor other than yourself, right?
“Is there any parchment you don’t use, old man?”
“Why is the parchment…”
“I know where there are guys you might like. If you go, guys like me will line up.”
Is there such a utopia?
The old man asked in a slightly suspicious tone.
“There was no one I cared about in my sixty years of life. Do you think going there will change your mind?”
“It will change.”
It’s because there’s a crazy dwarf who will pour molten iron on you if you don’t change your mind.
The old man tilted his head at Ray’s spirit, but when he brought the parchment, he briefly drew a map to the dwarven village.
Anyway, Derp also likes to talk about arms.
Since they are human, they will not have prejudices, so if their personalities match, the two will probably be able to have a good relationship.
The old man looked at the map drawn in detail and withdrew his doubts a little.
“Really?”
“Have you been deceived all this time? Really. Go find someone named Derp. If you tell me that the white-headed beast sent it, you will understand right away.”
“It’s great…”
I don’t like it, but it is said that candidates for succession like him are scattered all over the place.
As the old man wrapped the parchment in his bosom, Ray slowly brought up the matter again.
“Then can I use the forge now?”
“do whatever you want. If it’s a lie, I won’t let it go.”
“Heh heh. It will be a good experience.”
I couldn’t stop laughing when I imagined the old man who would understand the mind of water and iron in the future.
* * *
After the pact, Ray went straight to the smithy.
It was a forge with a lot of work, so fortunately there was no need to light a new fire.
Occasionally, in the case of blacksmiths without customers, there was a case where the fire was turned off, but in this case, it took only half a day to raise the fire to the desired temperature.
“Wow, one fire is amazing.”
It doesn’t look like a magic tool, but the performance is amazing.
Even Zeke and Cassius Hong-young opened their mouths as they watched the fire pit, which had a different status.
“It looks like you put a lot of effort into it.”
“…it’s hot.”
“It’s not comparable to magic, but it’s good enough.”
Each evaluation is different, but all praise.
Ray took out the black wood he had brought from the wagon.
The length of the tree was quite long because it was not trimmed, but that was nice to work with.
“I’ll have to cut it at once.”
Heukmok is a wood that is hard and flexible enough to be compared to iron.
It was an expensive item, equivalent to the price of gold of the same weight, so it was a material that could not be dreamed of unless you were a wealthy person.
The old blacksmith who was watching from the side swallowed his saliva.
‘What the hell are you planning to make?’
This is the first time he has ever seen a black tree.
They said they were making gifts for their parents, so I wanted to make an iron sword, but when I took out the black wood, I felt overwhelmed with just the ingredients.
Ray threw the black wood into the hot stove.
Fire-!
Then, in an instant, the fire spread.
The black wood, burning red without the sound of burning firewood, looked similar to heating iron.
Repeat taking out and putting in.
When I thought the heat was spread evenly to some extent, I started hammering.
Taang-!
I couldn’t believe that it had been knocked on a tree.
Unnecessary parts are shaved off with a chisel and shaped with a hammer.
After inserting black wood into the protruding part of the anvil and turning it a few times, it took shape.
“This…”
“It’s a stick.”
I nodded at Cassius’ words.
According to Lacia, Ale seems to be busy with magic these days.
He trains saying that he will not lose at least to his daughter, but if he has a good staff, he wonders if he will be one step closer to his dream.
As time passed, Ray carved a formula into the appearance of the black tree, which was gradually becoming more and more assorted of canes.
Paji Jiji-!
“ouch!”
A spark flew.
Engraving a magic circle on such a bumpy surface is a much more difficult task than it looks.
If the mana bounces, there could be a problem, and above all, if the magic circle gets tangled up, there are cases where it can’t be used.
Ray carefully controlled mana. The magic circle drawn with
mana
gradually uttered a resonant sound.
Protect.
Shield.
After inscribing several preservation magics, Ray finally put down the black tree.
“Whew.”
“Complete… is it?”
The security guards, who witnessed with their own eyes the grotesque act of carving a spell on a wooden surface that hadn’t even been finished, asked cautiously.
“huh. Now you just need to insert the magic stone.”
Pine groove in the middle.
Ray inserted a dark red magic stone the size of his thumb into it.
OK.
Whoaaah-!
A flash of light burst from the wand.
“I can’t believe that magic stone…
.”
Disbelief appeared in the blacksmith’s eyes as he listened.
demon scene.
It is a kind of dungeon that is said to have entered but not exited.
It was unknown what kind of monsters there were and what kind of structure they were composed of.
It seems that there are rare materials from what I heard, so some courageous adventurers joined together to enter, but as expected, the news was cut off.
But there’s someone who brought a material that only exists in the Demonic Realm?
“You mean that you really saved from the Devil’s Realm?”
“yes. Doesn’t it look pretty?”
The old blacksmith saw the magic stone.
It’s terrifying when you see it shining brightly, but it’s not pretty.
Somehow, it looked like he could use black magic well.
He clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“Tsk tsk. Gero who was scammed. Even if it looks good, you won’t be able to use it as a magic stone.”
The old man simply thought that Ray had been scammed.
Does that mean that it is ridiculous to say that it is a magic stone obtained from the Demonic Realm?
How the hell did he get the magic stone when no one came back?
Believe it or not.
It didn’t matter to Ray, who had already completed the wand.
“Thanks to you, I was able to complete it. thank you.”
“Come play again when you feel like it. I will show you my special work.”
Rey, knowing how strongly the blacksmiths were attached to her work, accepted the remark with pleasure.
“Then I’ll stop by again.”
“OK.”
Lei, who carefully wrapped her cane in the prepared leather bag, left the smithy.
As I load my luggage into the rear compartment of the wagon, I feel happy as if I am seeing my grown children.
As soon as he said to the driver’s seat, “Let’s go” with light steps, Zeke naturally started to drive the horse.
“By the way, lord, shouldn’t you soon elect a lord in the duchy?”
“permanent residence?”
“The land has been cleared and the number of citizens is increasing, so it’s good to give fiefs to your servants.”
“Ugh. It certainly is.”
It was impossible to entrust the affairs of the principality to the Goblin Queen forever.
Even if it wasn’t so, she was sorry for the woman who had been complaining about the mana crystal orb recently.
As Zeke said, if the nobles were selected and the fief was divided, the queen’s work would be greatly reduced.
‘I’ll have to advance the kingdom declaration a little earlier than planned.’
To do so, you need to negotiate with Celia.
No matter how powerful the principality is, it would be difficult without the help of the surrounding kingdoms.
Having made up her mind, Ray thought.
It’s a bit early, but it’s time to tell Aira.
