Dog’s worries about the elders were put to rest the moment Ryeo-Ah came forward.

Basically, because the Tang family shares the sense of being one family, the children of the Tang family who attend school can all be said to be relatives of their elders.

A lonely old man who just cares for his grandchildren.

It can truly be said to be pleasure without responsibility.

How can I tolerate this? I can’t stand it.

So, starting today, I decided to learn Dangga’s unique esoteric training method to infuse energy into the weapon.

“I never imagined that warrior Ho would receive this special training.”

The guide was Dang Do-yeon.

As an outsider, I have been in Dangata for a long time, but the area I can roam around is limited. Aside from residential areas, the only place I’ve been to is Gajujeon.

Perhaps out of consideration for me, Dang Do-yeon gave explanations about various buildings along the way.

“Dangata is divided into areas according to purpose. For example, in the case of the south, it can be said to be a residential area where Dangata people live, and the east next to it is a commercial area and workshop area. In the western area, facilities mainly related to medicine and poisoning are concentrated. And I recommend that you don’t go too close to the northern area.”

“What’s there?”

“The northern area is where the Tang family’s poisonous substances are stored, so even direct descendants of the Party family cannot enter and exit without permission. It is a place filled with various extremist and killing machines.”

“I guess so.”

The true value of memorization is revealed when combined with poison. At most, one small needle that penetrates the skin can incapacitate or cause death.

The memorization that a master throws is small, secret, and fatal, but the poisonous memorization that a master throws is death itself.

There was no interest in the poisonous substances in the northern region in the first place. Anyway, according to Dang Do-yeon’s explanation, I’m currently heading to the battlefield…

Dang Do-yeon kicked the door of the workshop with a bold gait.

Kwaang!!

Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

“Sister! It’s out!”

Dang Do-yeon’s atrocity as she calls out to her sister with a loud alarm sound and a loud voice!

“Dang Sojeo! What is this now..!”

“Are you surprised? It’s okay. It’s okay. Because I am a person who needs to do this much to wake up.”

Aside from the loud noise, the sound of something collapsing and falling was heard from inside, and the inner door barely opened.

“Ugh…please…”

“Sister! I told you there was a guest coming today! Wake up!”

The woman whom Dang Do-yeon calls sister. An alarming sound that makes you feel like you’re going out of your mind. And unidentifiable mechanical devices scattered around the workshop.

At this point, it was even more difficult to know the identity of this person.

The future greatest craftsman in the world.

Tang So-yeol, a strange craftsman who made the Bicheon carriage.

Right now, she was shaking wildly against Dang Do-yeon right in front of my eyes.

“Whoaaam~”

“From now on, Ho Rongin will learn how to make a sword from Soyeol.”

“…Yes?”

“This sister has had too many accidents and is currently being punished, so there is no need for her to be her teacher. Even though he looks like this, he is a skilled person who is recognized among the craftsmen of the Tang family.”

That’s right. He is the future greatest craftsman in the world.

“So…special training means making swords?”

“Yes, it is. My sister will explain the details. sister! This is a message from the matriarch! He said that if this matter is abandoned in the middle, the workshop will be confiscated and all the inventions made so far will be melted down. Since you said it with the title of head of the family at stake, you really need to do it right this time.”

Tang Xiaoyeol’s face, which had been yawning carefree, suddenly frowned.

“Ah~ I got it.”

“Ho There was a message from the head of the family that if this older sister was lazy or did not teach her properly, he could use any means necessary to squeeze her. Well, if you’re a ronin, there’s nothing wrong with calling her your older sister.”

“Hehe.”

“Then I’ll just leave!”

Dang Do-yeon disappeared like a storm, leaving only Dang So-yeol and I with half-closed eyes at the scene.

After observing the indescribably awkward atmosphere for a moment, Tang So-yeol was the first to speak.

“What is your main weapon?”

“It’s a sword.”

“Really? Huaam…you came here for special training in sword skills, right?”

I nodded and Tang Xiaoyeol stretched and muttered.

“The theory of Tangga special training is simple. You increase your understanding of weapons by learning and experiencing the materials and birth process of the weapons you use. Have you ever wondered why your sword doesn’t contain energy, but you can freely use energy in your own body?”

“There is, but…”

“Then I’m glad. The bottom line is that you know your body very well. There are quite a few people who think not, but that’s just because they don’t know what they’re saying.”

Is this a random theory lecture?

“Even martial artists who claim to not know much about their own bodies end up having fortune, fortune, and loyalty. The very act of handling energy in one’s body is proof that one understands one’s body.”

“But you might be mistaken for not knowing. Even if you don’t know how to breathe, people still breathe on their own. Even without learning, if we sense danger and feel pain, we instinctively avoid it. Even if you don’t know the structure of the limbs or the principles of movement, you can use them well.”

“People are familiar with their own bodies. We have been constantly handling our bodies for as long as we have lived, and the information we need as living creatures is engraved in our instincts from birth. I just don’t remember learning it, but I can say I know it well.”

“Starting today, you will learn the process of making swords and increase your understanding of swords. Let’s experience for ourselves how a sword is made by heating, pounding, and sharpening iron, and why it has such a structure and shape.”

Is it an argument that in order to handle sword techniques, one needs to understand the sword itself, rather than an understanding of swordsmanship? Although it doesn’t seem to make sense, it seems persuasive.

Above all, apart from the sword training, this was nothing short of chance.

An opportunity to learn blacksmithing from the future best craftsman in the world. As a prominent figure in the martial arts world, I cannot miss this special opportunity.

“Please take care of me. Master.”

“Good. Apprenticeship.”

Tang Xiaoyeol pointed to the workshop with his chin and said.

“First, light the fire in the brazier.”

technology.

There are many different technologies in the world of martial arts. There are cooking skills for the restaurant business, gambling skills for gambling, and fishing skills to catch fish.

When it comes to this field, blacksmithing is something that cannot be left out.

Isn’t it true that a blacksmith is the one who targets the macho part of men’s instincts?

In front of the hot furnace and the heat of the metal, he moves his muscular forearms and hits the red-hot metal.

Taaaang!!

Sparks flying in all directions along with the unique sound of metal hitting. The bright red lump of metal changes shape as the hammer strikes the metal, ignoring the sparks flying in all directions.

Chi-ik!

Then, the quenched metal, from which steam is rising, is thrown back into the furnace and silently waits for it to heat up.

I repeat such arduous work silently and sweatily.

Metal, flame, muscle, crafting… the romantic profession of blacksmith that combines all the elements that men are fascinated by.

The process of learning blacksmithing is…

“Hey, don’t you want to do it straight? Does blacksmith work seem easy when you treat me like a guest of the Tang family?”

It was filled with countless longings.

“There’s really no progress. I heard that gambling is like a ghost, so be more mindful of charcoal.”

It’s been a week since I started learning techniques from Tang So-yeol for the purpose of making swords and learning swordsmanship.

He was stoking fire in the brazier without even being able to hold a hammer, let alone make a sword.

“Keuung.”

With a groan, I put down the iron ingot and put my foot on the large bellows. As I started to step on it with enough force, air was added to the furnace and a burst of heat was shot out at me.

I, too, have now reached the peak.

The strength and endurance to step on the bellows are sufficient. If you step on the ingot vigorously without stopping until it is heated, the ingot currently on the furnace can be dyed a bright red color that seems to emit enough light.

However, it just cannot meet the conditions demanded by the party.

One blast of bellows in one breath.

As I slowly stepped on the bellows, the temperature of the furnace, which had heated up for a moment, tended to drop again, and although the ingots in the furnace were heated, they did not turn bright red.

“There, now! Oh, I feel hopeless. I should have taken it more slowly and blown it in all at once.”

The party’s discord was not asking for something impossible. Because he himself gave a demonstration in this furnace.

The problem is that Tang Xiaoyeol is a typical eccentric genius.

They explain something, but they say you have to read the charcoal’s breath. They say you can’t feel the path the wind is taking. Just sensational stories without any reason or theory.

“Ah, I should have looked into it from the moment the matriarch put a condition on it…”

Then, they were treating it like a dull material.

Ah, it’s almost night.

Still, I had to endure it.

The easiest way to master blacksmithing in the martial world was to become a disciple of Tang Xiaoyeol.

Just as martial arts can grow quickly by training with the support of a master and family, skills can also grow quickly by receiving support and finding a teacher.

As far as I know, there is no character in the martial arts world who has achieved great skill in gambling. That is the basis for this body Hocheonan calling himself a Taoist.

However, in other fields, there are characters who are [advanced] in each skill. One of them is this party member who treats me like a very annoying burden right in front of my eyes.

This body Hocheonan.

To put it bluntly, I have no intention of becoming successful in blacksmithing.

All I could hope for was to learn sword skills by making swords according to the Tang family’s special training.

There are many craftsmen in the family who can teach you blacksmithing skills appropriate for your purpose, and you can learn from other craftsmen as many times as you like.

but!

Are you giving up the opportunity to learn blacksmithing under a master who will excel in blacksmithing in the future?

Such a situation cannot be tolerated by someone with 10 years of martial arts experience!

Even if you can’t eat a persimmon, you have to swallow it first!
