405. Invisible Threat (2)

Of course, it would be even better if the unmanned person could learn the skills of a stonemason and a carpenter.

The question is, where would such a person be found in the martial arts world?

Some may ask why a person who can produce swords cannot do the work of a carpenter or a stonemason.

But it was as big as the difference between killing and saving.

While a carpenter learned martial arts to kill people, a carpenter learned techniques to transform wood into useful material.

Of course, the same goes for stonemasons.

What if you ask someone to do the work?

It would be common to render materials unusable.

This was the reason why they could be used as odd jobs but not as skilled workers.

However, Hanbin introduced his armed forces as skilled workers.

The problem is that even the leader of the armed forces doesn’t know English.

Hanbin looked at Lee So-woon.

“Then let’s try it with suitable ingredients.”

“Is that okay?”

When carpenter Lee So-woon asked cautiously, Han-bin answered with a sly smile.

“As much as you want.”

According to Hanbin’s words, a place to test carpentry and stonework was created.

But the expressions on the faces of the Red Blood Tiger Squad members were gloomy.

Sim Mi-ho, who was to take the test first, approached Han-bin cautiously.

“My lord.”

“What’s wrong? Deputy Chief Sim.”

“How do we act as carpenters or masons?”

“Don’t worry, just go over there.”

Hanbin pushed Simmiho towards where Lee Sowoon was.

Bam.

Sim Mi-ho, who was pushed by Hanbin’s hand, looked at the test table with trembling eyes.

It’s nothing special, but exams always have a way of making me nervous.

Sim Mi-ho stood in front of Lee So-woon with eyes full of suspicion.

When Lee So-woon saw Sim Mi-ho, he was startled and took a small step back.

No matter how I looked at it, the woman in front of me was clearly unmanned.

There was a frown on his face, as if he was about to draw his sword at any moment.

When Isoun was nervous, Sim Miho said.

“What is a test?”

Lee So-woon’s expression softened at Sim Mi-ho’s words.

The voice was soft compared to the atmosphere that seemed like it was about to devour people.

“You can just cut the log here along the lines I marked.”

“So you’re saying I just need to cut this log along the line?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Isoun pointed to the log.

At that sight, Sim Mi-ho narrowed her eyes and looked at the log.

There were several saws in the front.

Simmiho grabbed the thinnest saw among them.

At that moment, Isowoon let out a gasp.

“her.”

At that sound, Dang Se-ryeong, who had followed Han Bin, asked.

“Why are you doing this, Mr. Carpenter?”

“That saw won’t cut that big log. This test also covers the fundamentals of carpentry.”

“Basic?”

“To cut that log along the lines I’ve drawn, you’ll need a few different saws. First, you’ll need a big saw to make the rough outline. Second, you’ll need a saw to make the details. And finally, you’ll need a thin saw to trim the rest. There are three types of saws, but there are also nine that fit your hand, which is why I’ve got nine of them.”

“So, does that mean you have no basic skills as a carpenter?”

“Yes, that’s right. Picking up a saw for the first time means you don’t know anything about the basics of woodworking.”

“Oh, I see.”

Dang Se-ryeong nodded and quietly looked at Sim Mi-ho.

Simmiho was inspecting a tree with the smallest saw in his hand.

Dang Se-ryeong clicked his tongue inwardly.

Although Hanbin’s performance up until now was amazing, this was impossible.

As Isoun said, a person without even basic skills could not imitate the skills of a carpenter.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Sim Mi-ho’s saw.

But now all she could see was a log.

Memories of a month flashed through my mind in the log.

No, even memories from before came back to me.

Even when she went to Hwangbo Se-ga, she continued to dig holes.

And a month ago, I said goodbye to the warm sunlight and lived in a cave.

During the day, I had to open a passage and only come out late at night to sleep.

It was something that no human being could do.

It was Sim Mi-ho who lived in that narrow passage, carving stones and trees.

Thanks to that, the saw and log I just held felt strangely familiar.

I remember holding a support beam in a narrow passage.

What if the length of the support changes even a little?

It was a matter of death.

There was one reason why Sim Mi-ho picked up the smallest saw.

This is because the tool that allowed for the most delicate work in narrow passages was a small saw.

Sim Mi-ho unknowingly aroused the energy within her body.

Sssssss.

The energy from my whole body flowed gently into my hands.

For a moment, a faint energy gathered around the small saw she was holding.

Simmiho started cutting logs with the saw.

Swish swish.

The logs are cut like tofu.

Lee So-woon opened his mouth wide as he saw that sight.

Although I had heard of the magic of a saw being used on weapons, it was my first time seeing a person working with a saw.

What surprised him was not only the martial arts skills that Sim Mi-ho had shown.

Simmiho was faithful to the grain of the wood.

Even for a carpenter, working with the grain of the wood was difficult.

Working with the grain of the wood would allow for a smooth cut, but that was impossible.

This was because trees, like the body, often do not follow the general flow.

For example, something like a vein in a person appears as a knot in a tree.

It was common for avoiding it to lead to going against the grain.

However, Sim Mi-ho overcame it by putting his spirit into it.

Knowing the knots means being a skilled craftsman for more than ten years.

There’s more to it than that.

At that moment, Sim Mi-ho stopped sawing.

Carpenter Lee So-woon’s eyes grew bigger.

“How on earth… … .”

There was only one reason why Isowoon was surprised.

The log was perfectly trimmed to form a single letter.

It was the word ‘Jeong’.

The problem that Lee So-woon raised was not one that was meant to be solved perfectly.

The challenge of this exam was that even I could not perfect it.

He himself can only cut down to the upper level.

When you carve the character for “Jeong” (正), it inevitably breaks in the middle.

That’s how characters with insufficient strokes are created.

Isoun approached cautiously and looked at Sim Miho.

“Where on earth did you come from, carpenter?”

“yes?”

“This is the work of a skilled worker with at least twenty years of experience. It’s the skill I’ve only heard of through rumors!”

It means the energy contained in the saw.

Here, the word ‘geo’ literally means saw.

The word ‘there’ was not common in the martial arts world.

But it wasn’t a word that wasn’t used at all.

The word ‘geodo’ is sometimes used to mean ‘giant’, but ‘geo’ is also used to refer to the serrated swords carried by some warriors.

Of course, Dang Se-ryeong was also surprised.

Dang Gwang-hyeon, who was standing next to him, also opened his eyes wide at the unexpected development.

* * *

The surprises continued after that.

The Red Blood Tigers, who had been digging for a month, had become excellent carpenters and stonemasons.

Of course, some of those who accompanied Hanbin and Sacheon were exceptions.

In fact, they too were amazed at their own skills.

Their wages were set at ten times that of other carpenters.

After all the tests were over, Isoun was confident that with the help of skilled workers of this level, it would be finished in two weeks, not a month.

After that, they all returned to their quarters, promising to meet again the next day.

It was the same for Hanbin.

The first thing Hanbin did when he returned to his quarters was to check the relics of Haomen.

The one on the bridge is also a full moon.

I don’t understand why this box is also full of moon.

Hanbin carefully placed the box on the table.

The box shakes slightly.

It was a strange thing.

Why does the box, which is quiet when Hanbin holds it, shake when it leaves Hanbin’s side?

Hanbin examined the box closely.

There were no visible gaps in the joints of the box.

I couldn’t even understand how it was made.

Even for the best blacksmith, removing the seams was another matter.

However, there was a small pinhole on the top of the box.

But it never occurred to me that I could open it through that hole.

Hanbin, who was looking at the box with his arms crossed, muttered to himself.

“if…….”

Hanbin took out the full moon hidden on his leg and looked at it.

As Hanbin brought Manwol closer, the box stopped moving.

It was as if the full moon and the box were resonating.

Hanbin made one assumption.

These two things were originally one.

then?

Hanbin carried Yongrin’s energy to the full moon.

Sssssssss.

The full moon is getting thinner and thinner.

Hanbin stuck a needle into the hole of Manwol’s box.

It was like passing a word through the eye of a needle.

But the box reacted.

Swish.

The box opened and a small scabbard came out of it.

Hanbin put Manwol back into his scabbard.

Okay.

The scabbard pulled the full moon towards it as if it was being pulled.

Hanbin realized that these two objects could be combined and called a full moon.

When I think about it, it was a treasure of strange fate.

The scabbard was kept by Haomen.

The dagger was in Sacheondangga and then in the blood sect… … .

That’s when my thoughts went that far.

Suddenly, words appeared before my eyes.

[I found the scattered Yongrin treasure in Gangho.]

what?

Hanbin narrowed his eyes at the new information that the Yongrin Sword Technique provided.

Then the words continued again.

[This is a clue to the second volume of the Yongrin Sword Technique. You can open the second volume by finding the Seven Great Records of the Martial Arts.]

“Oh my!”

Hanbin shouted in delight.

I remember hearing a warning that if I didn’t find the second volume of the Yongrin Sword Technique within three years, my martial arts skills could disappear.

then?

Hanbin was lost in thought for a moment.

The only thing that was being taken care of now was the Weishi tax.

Except for the Wisse family, there was no force that could hit the back of his head.

How strong do you have to be to be able to live in peace?

That was when.

The text changed again.

[You must master the lower volume to be considered a true Yongrin warrior.]

Hanbin tilted his head as he read the text.

It seemed that the Yongrin Sword Technique was determined to train itself endlessly.

That was when.

Someone knocked on the door.

dripping.

I thought I knew who it was when I saw the shadow reflected on the door.

“Come on in, Lieutenant Shim.”

The door opened at Hanbin’s words.

Ssuk.

Even without that, the black-faced Simmiho was hidden in the darkness as if disguised.

“Yes, my lord. I apologize for being late.”

Sim Mi-ho bowed politely to Han Bin.

At that sight, Hanbin looked at the seat next to him.

Sim Mi-ho quietly approached Han-bin and sat down next to him.

Hanbin said at the sight of Sim Miho licking her lips.

“Speak comfortably, Lieutenant Shim.”

“That, that is… … My lord, is it okay for us to receive this much?”

It seemed like he was talking about the wages set during the day.

Hanbin smiled brightly.

“Wouldn’t it be better to collect it when you can? Chief Sim, you’ve worked hard, honestly. Do you think the reward I gave you will suffice?”

“omg.”

Sim Mi-ho took a deep breath.

At the same time, tears were about to fall

Sim Mi-ho suppressed her emotions and carefully raised her head to look at Han-bin.

What Hanbin was saying just now was that it was okay for individuals to take the wages.

Did Dora suddenly realize this?

Hanbin, who was staring blankly into space, looked like a monk who had attained enlightenment.

Unlike before, Hanbin seemed to have no material desires.

Of course, Hanbin wasn’t looking into space.

He was looking at the newly appeared text.
