I’ve gathered all the materials needed for the new stone.

First of all, because of the high-purity black iron that was created by the nature of the monster, there was no need for the help of the dwarf Sun Furnace who had the black iron smelting technology, and he was a warrior with overflowing zeal.

However, there was one problem.

“Haha, the Duke’s divinity is rejecting me.”

Because it was forged with the divinity of Hestia, there was a rejection reaction every time Felicel forged it.

I couldn’t help it. He’s not my family.

“Petra, I’m sorry I’m busy.”

“Okay, what can I do if you need me?”

Eventually it went to Petra.

Although Felichel looked very angry, he passionately taught Petra as his goal was to become the first human teacher to forge a new stone.

Naturally, Petra was delighted to become the dwarf’s disciple.

Felichel was a dwarf craftsman with a strange personality.

It was an unprecedented opportunity for Petra to learn a lesson that she couldn’t learn even if she had ten million dollars.

However, Tom was displeased.

It seems like my daughter doesn’t like the idea of learning blacksmithing from someone else.

“Tom is learning too.”

“Okay. What new skills are you learning at this age? And that’s not even a captain’s job.”

Tom was right.

Since the forging technique that Felichel was currently teaching was to make a stone, it was a useless technique to learn it alone.

‘On the other hand, I think we’ll have good synergy.’

I wondered if maybe Petra and I could recreate the sword from the mythical era.

As I looked at Petra, who was filled with longing, with that thought, Tom gently tapped me on the elbow.

“What happened when you two went together?”

“That, that’s… ”

“I knew it.”

Tom must have noticed what was going on between me and Petra.

“I’m sorry.”

“Haha, is there anything I should be sorry about?”

Because he even touched on Tom’s daughter, who he could call his friend, while talking about having relationships with multiple women.

Even if Tom murdered her, she had nothing to say, but Tom, the genius daughter, didn’t care.

“I can trust you and leave it to you.”

“I will definitely make Petra happy. Master.”

“Haha, you’re a master craftsman. It sounds a bit unfamiliar.”

Tom, who had somehow become a grown-up, laughed heartily.

“But I want to remain friends with you. Call me by my name like before.”

“Tom… ”

“And don’t announce that you’re married to Petra yet.”

“Why?”

“Well, what will everyone think if they find out that my daughter and you are married?”

“If you care about what the townspeople think, I’ll take care of it.”

“I don’t worry about that. But, I’m the only blacksmith in the village.”

“If you include Petra, it’s unique.”

“Anyway, if I, the only blacksmith in the village, were to be your master’s father-in-law, wouldn’t everyone be concerned?”

“Ah.”

I never thought of that.

Certainly, if Tom is a family member, he will be watching his father-in-law’s eyes as he watches me.

‘And I guess they’ll both end up eating each other.’

In reality, I’m doing it all by myself, but I have to consider the villagers’ position as well.

Because if the villagers can’t rely on the blacksmith, it will be inconvenient for them to do various tasks.

“Please hold off on making an announcement until a new blacksmith appears in the village.”

“I see. Tom’s wisdom is helping me this time too.”

“What, compared to the village chief, it’s not enough.”

So, following Tom’s advice, I haven’t told Petra about my marriage yet.

Petra didn’t seem to care at all. On the contrary, she seemed to like them, perhaps because she felt that they were having a secret love affair.

“It’s gotten to the point where it’s ridiculous.”

“What are you talking about?”

I enjoyed this too.

I met Petra secretly and worked with her while expressing our affection for each other.

As the temple was about to be completed, a woman with red hair came to see me.

“Judging by your smell, you are a son of the black tiger.”

“Huh?”

The woman was very tall.

It was tall enough for me, who was about 2 meters tall, to look up at.

‘Are you the giants the Emperor was talking about?’

However, because they were called giants, they had different characteristics.

The pupils were straight like a snake’s, and the body was covered in scales.

The impression was more one of annoyance than arrogance.

Even the smell of divinity can be felt there.

“Who are you?”

Realizing that the person in front of me was a powerful being, I asked cautiously.

Then, the woman, who was taller than I thought, answered kindly.

“Nansaraman. A being that has fallen away from the ‘Infinitely Connected One’.”

“Infinitely connected?”

I felt a moment of tension at the sight of her mentioning a name that seemed to remind me of an external god, but she let out absurd words.

“I swear in my mother’s name that I will protect you from now on.”

“Okay, just a moment.”

I was taken aback by the sudden appearance of someone who said he would protect me.

“I can’t follow the story. Please explain it to me step by step.”

“Okay. I am the being you call a monster. I am the being you have seen recently.”

“God, goblins?”

I reflexively took out Robera and Almas from my .

I knew that the being before my eyes was a powerful being, but a monster?

As she thought about how to quickly evacuate her family, Salamander raised her hands to show that she had no intention of fighting.

“Stop, I can’t harm you.”

“What are you talking about? You can’t do it?”

“Because of the oath in my mother’s name.”

He was too lazy to speak, so he gave short answers, and it was difficult to understand even after he explained it.

“So, you can’t attack me because of the oath you made in the name of an external god?”

“Yes.”

Since I didn’t understand, I went over it again.

“How can I believe that?”

“If you are close to God, you will know. That a being that deals with divinity cannot lie.”

“Surely… ”

This time I understood to some extent.

The more I dealt with divinity, the more I needed to have a firm will.

And telling a lie is like denying yourself.

This is a significant matter, considering that only will can handle divinity.

Well, here another question arises.

“Why such an oath?”

“To survive.”

“What do you need to live from?”

“To survive from the master of the mountain range.”

“When you say the owner of the mountain range, are you talking about the black tiger, the tiger that swallowed the sky?”

“Yes.’

I clearly heard the answer from her, but I was even more lost.

I couldn’t even guess what kind of relationship Black Tiger and I had that made her make that oath in order to survive.

‘Did you have some kind of deal with your father?’

As I was wandering around with questions that were gradually becoming more and more complicated, Salamander

“You don’t know what you are.”

“I know. It’s titanium.”

“Then, how come you don’t know that you are the child of the black tiger?”

“Yes?”

Her words made my thoughts stop for a moment.

What are you talking about now?

“The Black Tiger was the only Titan before you appeared in the world.”

“???”

…

“Helia! Helia!”

When I came to my senses, I went straight to find Helia.

Because among the people around me right now, there’s only Helia.

“What’s going on, warrior? And what about the woman next to you?”

The nymph Helia sensed a divine aura coming from Salamander and was wary of her, but that wasn’t what mattered right now.

“Helia, I was the child of the black tiger?”

“Huh? You didn’t know?”

Helia was rather taken aback by my question. Or was I the only one who didn’t know?

“I thought you knew how to use the ‘power of the superior species’, which is a natural ability of Retitan.

“No, I just learned that from watching.”

“And didn’t you often clash with the Black Tiger, a being stronger than the monster?”

“Come to think of it, that’s right.”

The black tiger is able to swallow a single monster in one go.

I fought on equal terms with that being and the Titans when I was weak to unlock their power.

It was a story that didn’t make sense unless the guy did it on purpose.

“Lastly, the famous ‘Tiger Swallowing the Sky’ is the being that ate the sky and the god of domination, Kronos.”

“I thought it was just an idiom, but it doesn’t mean that… ”

So is he really that guy’s son?

I am faced with a difficult truth to accept.

“If I become a god, will I become a tiger?”

“You can ask me that too… ”

Helia, who seemed embarrassed by my question, turned her gaze to the tall woman behind me.

“Excuse me, warrior, but who is that person behind you?”

“Saramanda is a monster that was in the underground tunnel of the dark forest.”

“Yes?”

When I introduced Salamander, the nymphs all started screaming.

“Kkiyaayaayayak!”

“You have to report it! Report it!”

“Hey, what are you doing, warrior?! Bringing a monster into the village!”

How surprised they were, everyone was terrified at the nymph’s unique way of speaking when in a hurry.

I caught the nymphs and calmed them down.

“Calm down. We’re not done introducing ourselves yet. She’s protecting me because of the oath.”

“What, what does that mean?”

“I don’t know the details, but I’m in a position where I have to protect myself because I’m being threatened by the Black Tiger.”

“Yes?”

At my words, Helia made a face of incomprehension.

Even the wise nymphs seem to have a hard time accepting it.

“Does he still have love for his children?”

But the content that we couldn’t understand was slightly different.

‘What on earth is Titan?’

Is it strange for Gettysburgers to have parents who love their children?
