Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (23)

Weed worked tirelessly at the blacksmith shop every day.

Land! Land! Land!

When I made a luxury sword, the blacksmith users around me said,

“I just happened to get lucky.”

“I know manual production is good, but automated production is not bad either.”

“It’s the traditional way that has been done for a long time. Many virtual reality games, even the best blacksmiths in Roanoke, all do automatic production.”

“The answer is to quickly raise your skill level by obtaining high-quality minerals. As your skill level increases, you will be able to make good equipment on your own.”

The blacksmiths of Roanoke had their own method of growing.

Automatically produce good iron and high-grade minerals, or obtain crafting recipes, etc.

If you obtain the secret recipe book that allows you to create very excellent swords and armor, you can produce good results.

‘I need to save more money.’

‘If I just work hard for a few days… … .’

‘The blacksmith’s craft is all about perseverance and patience.’

From the perspective of blacksmith users, Weed’s methods were old-fashioned.

I felt like the effort and time that went into making the sword myself was a waste.

‘It’s slower than automatic production.’

‘It’s not like a blacksmith will do this for a day or two, so how many pieces can he make like that? You have to look at it in the long term, in the long term.’

‘Honestly, I can’t help but think that manual production is better.’

It was impossible for them to pound iron day and night like Weed.

If I had done it that way from the beginning, it might not be so bad, but since I am used to automated production, even one hour of work feels tiring and difficult.

but…….

Weed created a masterpiece sword in the flowing iron forge!

Weed has created an excellent masterpiece sword in the flowing molten iron forge!

Weed has created a valuable luxury sword in the flowing iron forge!

I made three luxury swords in one day.

A kind of world message that can only be confirmed by blacksmiths.

Ashford’s blacksmiths gathered at the flowing molten iron forge.

“This is crazy. Seriously… … .”

“Really? You can do something like that with ordinary iron?”

“It’s not iron. We raise the temperature of the fire to remove impurities and create much harder iron.”

“Again!”

“Is it a luxury sword again this time?”

The iron that Weed was striking with his hammer was emitting a bright light again.

‘Fail.’

‘Fall. Split. Break. Explode.’

‘It’s okay to fail once in a while as a human being.’

The blacksmith users prayed earnestly.

* * *

Weed quickly adapted to working as a blacksmith.

‘Hard work, persistence, passion, skill, focus. And a little bit of trickery.’

Growing up sweating in front of a hot brazier.

It started with AI telling us the right temperature for the furnace, the iron, and the water to use for cooling.

(I’ll tell you the secrets of other blacksmiths in Roanoke.)

‘huh?’

(I have obtained and analyzed the crafting recipes that exist in Roanoke. Here are some recommended weapon crafting methods.)

With the help of artificial intelligence, we were able to melt iron and minimize the chance of failure when mixing it with other substances.

‘It’s a little usable.’

(I’m investing 3% of my computing power.)

Artificial intelligence Versa analyzes numerous protein compounds in the real world.

By selecting items suitable for new drug development, a revolution in the medical field was taking place.

He puts his abilities to good use in Roanoke, helping the blacksmith craft weapons.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Although Weed was silently striking the hammer, he was actually working on a task based on advanced scientific technology.

Thus, three luxury swords were completed in two days.

“This is crazy. Seriously… … .”

“Are you a genius blacksmith?”

“Talent is something you are born with.”

I worked tirelessly while receiving admiration and envy from blacksmith users.

A blacksmith skill that can be achieved through hard work.

When I struck the iron, I felt like a lot of my worries were forgotten.

As I created the luxury sword, my skill proficiency increased without a hitch.

Blacksmith skill has reached intermediate level.

It greatly reduces the time required to craft equipment.

Increases the overall stats of weapons and armor.

You can give it special properties.

Blacksmith skill reached intermediate level in 6 days.

The fastest time ever in Roanoke.

It was the result of putting in 24 hours a day, while other users worked 3 to 4 hours a day.

‘It seems like the skill level goes up faster than sculpting?’

(Sculpting is a skill in the art category.)

‘however?’

(Blacksmithing is a technical field and requires a lot of skill proficiency in all the processes of melting and hammering iron.)

‘… … .’

It wasn’t surprising that Weed was bad at sculpting.

However, the blacksmith skill reflects the attack and defense power greatly depending on the level, so if it is not a luxury sword, you will probably create a lot of unsightly weapons in the beginning.

You have achieved the Intermediate Blacksmithing skill achievement.

Strength increases by 20.

Vitality increased by 500.

He was given the title ‘Blacksmith of Exceptional Skills’.

You can sell the equipment you craft at a higher price in the shop.

You can accept crafting quests from knights and nobles.

Blacksmith usage fees will be free.

A massive increase in strength and vitality.

It doesn’t really matter since most of the equipment I create is sold to users rather than stores.

‘It’s nice that the blacksmith shop is free.’

(50 gold per day. This may seem expensive since most blacksmiths only make 1 or 2 swords, but you make 10 of them.)

‘I guess I need to learn a little more about humanity.’

(What does it mean?)

‘Don’t ask for free stuff, you have to take it.’

As the blacksmith skill reached intermediate level, the blessing of the gods was granted.

Tiring!

Volkan, the god of fire and forge, admires the sword you create.

The sword is blessed. Its attack power and durability will be enhanced.

The adventurer’s god, Trinity, takes interest in you as you learn various skills.

All stats increase by 2.

Fame increased by 500.

Although it is lacking compared to the art world, the gods related to blacksmithing and adventure also bless Weed.

The tyranny of the Blade Dragon Guild served as a powerful motivator.

‘Revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge… … .’

A word that comes to mind whenever I feel tired.

As I passed through the third stage of Hell, my character became incomparably stronger than when I first created it.

However, it is still not enough to beat users belonging to the Line Guild.

Using the Mirror of the Abyss would change things, but there would be mass murder and destruction in the heart of the city.

You will be attacked by Ashford users and knights of the Kingdom of Rebade.

“You are amazing, blacksmith.”

“Get to work quickly.”

“yep!”

Working with Barohand, who plays a supporting role.

DeKalon had to come often to receive the luxury sword.

“This time, the sword is even cooler than yesterday. Your skills are truly amazing.”

“A luxury sword again? You’re not joking.”

“One more?”

After seeing it three times in a row, we ended up having a brief conversation.

When he heard Weed’s age, he was surprised and his attitude changed.

“You’re much older than me. Your face doesn’t look old, so I thought you were young. Can I call you Brother Weed?”

Weed’s appearance has been greatly suppressed from aging due to the influence of the Superhuman Project.

I thought he would just leave since he was a strong member of the Line Guild, but he treated me with respect and called me “hyung.”

Weed’s evaluation of Dekalon has gone up two levels.

‘I guess I should at least give him a little mercy, rather than throwing him into the fires of hell.’

(Master, isn’t extreme anger the same thing?)

‘Forgiveness and reconciliation are not easy. What’s more, I keep losing my luxury sword.’

I am continuously supplying luxury swords to the Blade Dragon Guild and my losses are piling up.

Of course, the same goes for other guilds, so it’s hard to see it as just their fault.

‘Are all blacksmiths in this situation?’

(In Roanoke, blacksmiths were still treated with some respect.)

‘Like the sculptors?’

(Even so, I received incomparable respect compared to the sculptors.)

(The need for equipment has increased significantly since the Roanoke Incident. Users of the production line with low combat power are not treated fairly in many places.)

(You have to work to make a living, and the wariness of blacksmiths is not severe.)

Those in production occupations had no choice.

Since I couldn’t log out, I was left with nowhere to run.

* * *

Four luxury swords.

In Blade Dragon, Weed became a hot topic.

“It’s not as good as the sword you get from defeating the boss in the Dougrock dungeon, but it’s still quite good.”

“It is said that they are not producing the swords automatically, but making them themselves.”

“If you can make four masterpiece swords, you are a blacksmith with a really promising future. If your blacksmithing skill reaches Advanced, you will be amazing.”

Combat-type users look down on production jobs, and art-type users don’t treat them like humans.

Still, if your skills were top-notch, you could be respected.

DeCallon recommended it.

“I would like to recruit you to our guild.”

Becoming a member of the Blade Dragon Guild entitles you to a certain percentage of the taxes received from the territory.

That’s why he’s made up of only elites, but he’s a blacksmith who made four famous swords in a short period of time.

There was no opposition as the production capacity was so outstanding.

“The attack power is low, but since we continue to make luxury swords… … It’s not a bad idea if you think about the future.”

Guild leader Polon made the final decision.

Having enjoyed virtual reality since the days of Royal Road, he still had a good understanding of production-related professions.

‘No one knows what’s going on in the world. Even the Sculptor unified the continent.’

I recalled my glorious past when I was active in the Hermes Guild.

He led the Knights and Rangers and fought a large-scale battle with Weed.

‘Weed was very strong. Especially the undead army he led… … was terrifying.’

* * *

Weed prepared to return to Hell difficulty from day 6.

23,580 gold earned from blacksmith work.

I combined the money I had for vacation expenses and wandered around the plaza where late-night users were doing business.

“The Ring of Purification costs 8,000 gold. Are you selling it?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I’m thinking of buying it, but could you give me a discount of 1,000 gold?”

I shop mainly for hard-to-find accessories.

High-quality crafting materials obtained from Hell difficulty, including black iron and cloud iron, were processed to remove impurities.

‘Completion just before departure.’

Make it right before returning to Hell difficulty to prevent it from being taken away by the Blade Dragon Guild.

All the work went smoothly because I was just sitting in the blacksmith shop, not wandering around the city.

(Master, I recommend you open the whisper you blocked.)

‘huh?’

Whispers did not work on Hell difficulty.

While working at Ashford, I disabled the whisper function.

Because sometimes I get whispered by someone.

Kimbap Cucumber Except: With? Are you really with? No? It’s salty, right?

Salt Hotdog: I’m so jealous of your nickname lol

Dalkwangi: Weed. Give me some money. Bring me some barley bread.

Because of the popularity of the nickname, Weed, people contacted me quite frequently.

Even though Roanoke was a game of death, there were plenty of pranksters.

‘What’s going on?’

(You can see this if you turn it on. Some users will start talking to you soon.)

Weed turned the whisper function back on, following the AI’s advice. And the whisper was delivered.

Pale: Lord Weed?
