Works (3)
The Marquis Valentino was absurd even after asking the question.
He hoped that Roman Dmitry would deny that the sword that had plunged him into ecstasy was only a yawn.
But.
"It is true that the work that is relatively unfinished is the best. However, I do not think that it is the quality of 'yawn'. In the process of making the sword, I gained enlightenment and improved the level of perfection step by step, but the swords of the No-Name series have improved a few steps from the ones I made before."
It was a disappointing answer.
In a situation where he was speechless, the Marquis Valentino confirmed the third no-name once again with swaying eyes.
It was perfect.
From a collector's point of view, there was no form more perfect than this, to the extent that I couldn't understand which part was said to be incomplete.
Sharp blade and moderate grip. In addition, the ability to receive mana, arguably, surpassed the standard of a famous sword that people say.
swallowed dry saliva.
If it wasn't for Roman Dmitry.
He must have raised his voice not to be pretentious, but he carefully asked the truth because he was the other person.
" If so, could you possibly check the last and fourth sword?"
Okay.
There was no hesitation in answering.
for the artisan
Showing the work to someone who recognized the value of the sword was as enjoyable as the process of making it.
Hans commanded the sword.
When he pulled out the sword from the scabbard and lifted it, the eyes of Marquis Valentino changed to hazy.
" Alas.
like a sound leaking out.
exclaimed in admiration.
When I checked the shape of the sword reflected in the light, the questions that had complicated my mind disappeared at once.
'How in the world is there such a sword.'
There is a legend among collectors.
Existence beyond the value of collectibles.
It is said that things that can be called real treasures radiate magical powers that fascinate people at a glance.
In that case, complicated procedures such as measuring instruments are not required.
It was said that just by touching and looking at it directly, the thrill that pierces through the czar's body makes you realize how valuable the object in front of you is.
It was now.
Marquis Valentino couldn't hide his admiration to the extent that the hand that touched the sword trembled.
'I can see why Roman Dmitry described the No-Name series as an experimental work. In order to create such a treasure, even the process must have been artistic. Roman Dmitry has now entered a world completely untouchable as a craftsman. In order to purchase his sword, all collectors will raise their voices without hesitation that they will pay a premium.'
One gold kendo.
If it is Roman Dmitry's work, the age of 10 gold will come.
It was as expected.
When the Blaze was first purchased, the Marquis Valentino considered the symbolism of 'the work of Roman Dmitry'.
Even then, there was a lot of talk about investing 1200 gold in a normal sword as a reckless decision, but perhaps if you put the Blaze on the market now, you will get double the amount.
the problem is.
It was not good news for the Marquis of Valentino.
For collectors who do not resell their collectibles, the value of no-names predicted the future.
' An astronomical amount is required to win a third no-name bid. With just the symbolism of the process to create this perfect sword, collectors will set their eyes on fire.'
fell into anguish
The result was too perfect, but rather chaos.
That was then.
Through the ears of the Marquis of Valentino, the voice of Roman Dmitry was heard.
"The last sword is called disaster."
disaster.
It was certain.
Enemies facing that sword will feel the feeling of facing disaster, as the sword's name suggests.

that day.
The Marquis of Valentino, leaving Dmitry, said:
"The Disaster was so perfect that I wouldn't even dare to buy it. A sword like that would be of true value with Roman Dmitry-sama, but I will definitely win the bid for the third no-name, which was the starting point for creating the Disaster. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to prepare in advance."
His expression was grim.
As if risking his life, the Marquis Valentino left Dmitry, ready to win the bid.
Things were pretty much cleared up.
Roman Dmitry has now met the man he thought was the new master of Darkness.
" Why are you giving me this?"
It was Rodwell Dmitry.
He covered his inner eyes with an eye patch, and looked at Roman Dmitry with a puzzled look.
"I have many swords better than this. But the reason I'm giving this to you is that Roman Dmitry's younger brother wants you to carry on the symbolism, the only person who can take the place of me.
Dmitry became a country.
In the state-level power system, being of the same bloodline as Roman Dmitry was a very important factor.
Chris, Kevin.
There was a symbolism that could not be replaced by loyal servants.
So Rodwell Dmitry vowed to take the place of Roman Dmitry, but he was not yet qualified.
either by force or by leadership. was short for a while.
Except for the symbolism of Roman Dmitry's brother, there was no reason for Dmitry's people to follow him.
"Rodwell. Dmitry stood on the edge of a cliff. The moment we step back from the confrontation with Kronos, we will fall down a cliff and meet a disastrous end. The vacant position I am not in needs a firm leader to replace it. So, take this sword and become strong. Even without me, your existence can give people peace of mind, so be reborn as a strong being that everyone trusts."
" You know that's impossible. No matter how hard I try, I can't completely replace you."
Meantime.
Rodwell Dmitry worked hard.
As a member of Dmitry, he struggled to fill Roman Dmitry's vacancy, but he could not prevent the deaths of people like Henderson on the day the Kronos Empire attacked.
Then, I found out. Contrary to his strong will, he could not become Roman Dmitry.
His overwhelming force and the powerful enemy of the Kronos Empire clearly showed how humble Rodwell Dmitry was.
so that.
Couldn't get a sword.
Even if it was said that he inherited the symbolism, he was a very humble existence.
By the way.
"Let me tell you something interesting. There is a special ability in the martial arts called Chloride Godgong. As long as we share blood and flesh, we can share some of the heat I have. From now on, I will breathe fire into you. It is a word of power, and it is only a small seed. But if you take the flames of fire and make them germinate. You will undoubtedly become stronger than ever before."
Roman Dmitry said you can be strong.
From my past experience, I knew that those words were not false.
"Choose. If you refuse, I will make this happen."
The answer was already a fixed question.
Even for Dmitry's future, Rodwell Dmitry aspired to be stronger than he is now.
"I will. If I could be strong, I would do anything."
* * *
It was simple.
flame of fire.
At the moment when some of them were blown in enough to be described as 'fine', Rodwell Dmitry's eyes widened.
Hwaak-
"Ahhh?!"
A great deal of pain ensued.
Starting from the area where the flames came in, it felt like all the organs in the body were on fire, and in particular, it felt like lava had been poured into the danjeon, so I grabbed my stomach.
face flushed red.
He buried his face on the ground and moaned, crouching slightly and trembling.
It was painful.
Even Rodwell Dmitry, who had thought he was familiar with pain, was an unfamiliar pain that he could not bear.
only a part
However, the fire of fire was a force that humans could not bear.
If it hadn't been mixed and blown with the heat of the Goddess Chloride, all of his already fragile body would have been burned to ashes.
" Whoops, whoops."
messed it up
It looked like his eyes would pop out, but Rodwell Dmitry didn't say a word to stop the pain.
I wanted to be strong.
When the Kronos Empire attacked Dmitry, he did his part.
But that was it.
Enemies like Sven, who crippled Kevin and Henderson, dared not deal with him, and remained a bystander when Roman Dmitry waged an all-out war against the Kronos Empire.
I knew the topic.
Aside from the fact that he was Dmitry's man, he knew that he had no place to play in this war.
It was embarrassing.
As a fellow Dmitry, I wanted to do anything for Dmitry.
Rodwell Dmitry, who had always been the best due to his father's excessive expectations, couldn't bear the feeling of helplessness that he could do nothing.
If you ask people who stays up late into the gym every night, they'll most likely mention Rodwell Dmitry.
He tried so relentlessly, but his efforts seemed to be in vain because the existence he had to replace was so overwhelming.
So I endured.
I wanted to seize the opportunity.
Rodwell Dmitry didn't come close to accepting the riches and honors that came from his brother's halo at no cost.
even if it's stupid.
He hoped he would do his duty.
Rodwell Dmitry, who had been playing the role of the eldest son since childhood, was such a person.
body trembled.
The inside of his mouth was filled with blood as he bit the flesh inside his mouth to calm himself down.
it was squishy
But despite the constant rush of pain, Rodwell Dmitry swallowed the scorching heat.
was poisonous
In the war with Kronos, he lost an eye and was able to win, and he possessed a mental power that goes beyond the limits of ordinary people.
As time went on, his will became as hard as steel.
In spite of the constant beating pain, his face was contorted in pain, but he did not let go of his mind until the end.
that look.
I liked Roman Dmitry.
The new life was not just a family pattern that forced a bone and flesh conflict, but really trusted beings regarded themselves as a family.
what a joy this is
If Rodwell Dmitry had wished for even the slightest bit of off-topic power, he would have been blown away before he got the chance he has today.
Such a person.
It was Baek Joong-hyuk.
In order to accept the family as a family, it was more important to think about the family fence than the bloodline.
inside the fence.
Rodwell Dmitry accepted.
To him who was purely thinking of Dmitry, he suggested a path forward.
Finally.
" Great."
The pain subsided.
As the color returned to his face, the fire energy finally settled in Rodwell Dmitry's dungeon, albeit faintly.
I haven't come to my senses yet.
Beyond the hazy consciousness, Roman Dmitry's voice was heard.
"The name of the martial artist I will tell you from now on is called Chloride Shingong and Chloride Sword Technique."
A sword technique reminiscent of the flames of a fire.
Its owner was Rodwell Dmitry.

Shortly after the Marquis of Valentino returned to the family.
A meeting was convened.
The vassals of the family responded with embarrassment after confirming the subject of the meeting.
"What do you mean?"
"They are suddenly withdrawing from the jewelry business that was going well. Shortly after the war, a significant amount of jewelery had already been purchased to target the ladies who turned their attention to luxury. If we process the processing through the craftsmen who have completed the contract, we will reap a considerable amount of profit, so why are you making such a sudden decision?"
"I need an explanation. Even if it's not our flagship business, we're never going to close like this."
The backlash was intense.
jewelry business.
It wasn't Valentino's main business.
Valentino dealt with a variety of businesses, including iron, food and transportation, but showed little interest in the jewelry business.
The reason was clear.
Valentino pursues a business that targets an 'unspecified majority', but the number of customers who purchase luxury goods is too limited.
It was different from what Valentino was pursuing.
This time was an exception.
Considering the specificity of war.
It was an occasional event business, and he suddenly said that he would recover the money from the jewelry business.
eyes were focused.
One of the vassals asked seriously.
"Is there something we don't know about?"
The atmosphere became serious.
if so.
The vassals will all put their heads together and try to solve a major problem.
in the eyes of the vassals.
The Marquis Valentino said with a very serious expression.
"It is a very important issue. In order to win the bid for Roman Dmitry-sama's sword that I talked about last time, it seems impossible with only 3,000 to 4,000 gold. So we will recover all the money we invested in the jewelry business and put that capital into an auction."
firm tone.
For a moment, the vassals doubted their ears.
