Episode 123

62. Gained Skills – 1

There was no one who was not overwhelmed by the vast expanse of golden wheat fields.

Some of them even knelt down and prayed to God.

“Are you okay?!”

As Lee Han stumbled, Seol Myung-hee hurriedly ran to him.

Although blood was flowing from his nose, Lee Han’s eyes were alive.

“This much is okay.”

As he wiped away the coffee blood and let out a heavy sigh, someone approached him from behind.

It was a ragdoll.

His face was filled with joy, and he held onto Leehan tightly, not knowing what to do.

“You… … Oh, no. Who the hell are you?”

It is not right to treat lightly the person who created such a miracle.

Ragdoll asked with as much respect as he could muster, and Leehan looked at him for a moment before chuckling.

“I’m just a farmer.”

There was no need for Lee Han to do this until the harvest.

After ordering the workers to harvest, Ragdoll took Leehan to the city hall.

Although he said he was okay, his complexion didn’t look that good.

Ragdoll, who had invited Lee Han to the VIP room of the city hall, hurriedly called the magicians and alchemists.

I wanted to recover from his fatigue as much as possible.

“It looks like you’ve used up a lot of energy.”

“Would you like to try this medicine?”

The wizard cast a recovery spell, and the alchemist drank the highest-grade potion.

Then, he felt a little better. Lee Han clenched and unclenched his fists a few times and smiled.

“I don’t know how to repay this favor.”

As the wizards and alchemists left after finishing their treatment, Lee Han shrugged his shoulders at Ragdoll’s thanks.

Anyway, this is just a transaction.

A deal to get dirt trees and snow flowers.

He mentioned it, but Ragdoll shook his head.

“I don’t think it’s possible to repay all this favor with just that.”

“It’s okay. We just gave and received what we needed from each other.”

But it was difficult to take his words at face value.

As a marketer, and as a dwarf with a sense of shame.

Ragdoll shook his head vigorously at the reluctant Lee Han and then spoke seriously.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“No, really, it’s fine.”

“Please don’t make me into such a shameless person. If it weren’t for you, Dwarven City would have fallen into chaos.”

Now, in Dwarven City, chaos was already occurring among the citizens due to food problems.

Those who want to monopolize food, those who protest because there is no food, and even fights in grocery stores.

Didn’t Lee Han prevent a huge crisis that could have overturned Dwarven City if left alone?

Ragdoll asked Leehan earnestly once more, and he eventually sighed and scratched his cheek.

“Then there’s one thing I’d like to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“I would like to learn some blacksmith skills.”

“Blacksmith skills? Didn’t you say you were a farmer?”

“Ah. That’s it.”

Lee Han told Ragdoll about his situation.

The fact that we are making various things for those living in the forest.

Ragdoll looked interested when he heard that he had his own forge and had already made several iron tools.

“Pure iron. I’ve heard of it. It’s said to be a very precious iron. I didn’t know it came from the Great Forest.”

“If you want, we can trade.”

“Haha. Let’s talk about that later. Blacksmithing skills. Hmm. Okay. There’s a great blacksmith connected with the city hall. I’ll ask him to teach me his skills.”

Dwarves originally did not share their skills with other races.

Yet the market could speak confidently.

Lee Han is the hero who saved Dwarven City and the one who performed a great miracle.

How difficult would it be to teach dwarven skills to someone like that?

“It may just take some time to transfer the skills.”

“How long will it take?”

“A decade?”

“I can’t stay that long though.”

“No matter how fast you go, it’ll take that much time. Ah. Then, how about doing it this way?”

The troubled Ragdoll snapped his fingers to convey his thoughts.

The goal is to dispatch the best technicians from Dwarven City to the Great Forest.

“Wouldn’t it be great if we could learn the skills there?”

“Not bad.”

It is not possible to live in Dwarven City for a long time to learn skills.

In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to accept Ragdoll’s offer.

“Well, how about getting some basic training while you’re here? Or, why not enjoy the best tour our city has to offer!!”

“I think it would be better to just receive the training. I will gratefully accept your kindness.”

“A favor? It’s something I should do.”

Ragdoll hurriedly waved his hand at Lee Han, who lowered his head, and bowed his head in return.

When the story ended so neatly, Lee Han stood up from his seat.

“But how long will we be in Dwarven City?”

“Yeah. If possible, I’d like to go with Eric.”

Anyway, we have to stop by Higgs Estate where Eric’s house is.

In that case, wouldn’t it be better to go together?

As he was talking to the narrator and trying to leave, Ragdoll grabbed him.

“I will take you to the hotel.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

“No. No. Please let me bring it to you.”

Excessive treatment can actually be burdensome.

But since it seemed like the market wouldn’t give up no matter how hard he tried, Lee Han nodded, and Ragdoll happily took Lee Han and headed to the city hall.

“Should I ride this?”

What was prepared in front of the city hall was a large and fancy magic car.

They are going to treat Lee Han with such respect that they even have to use a vehicle to transport him.

Ragdoll smiled confidently at the embarrassed Lee Han and Seol Myung.

“Please get in.”

“Ah. Yes. Thank you.”

Lee Han ended up accepting the offer from Ragdoll, whose eyes sparkled.

As the mayor arrived at the hotel in a car driven by him, people looked at Lee Han and Seol Myung.

I wonder what kind of person he is that the mayor of Dwarven City drives him around himself.

Seol-i, who was the center of their attention, couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“I’m a little embarrassed. Are you okay?”

“I don’t really care what other people think.”

Lee Han, who responded nonchalantly, entered the hotel lobby and found the twins eating dessert at the lobby cafe and Eric reading the newspaper.

“Wow! Brother Lee Han!”

“Come here! You too, Oppa! Eric Oppa bought you something delicious!”

As the twins, with cream all over their mouths, cheered and greeted him, Lee Han headed towards where they were.

Eric wiped the remaining cream from the corners of the twins’ mouths while they listened to the explanation and told him what they had done today. He smiled bitterly.

“I heard you had something to do today. What happened?”

“Ah. I came back from doing some farming at the mayor’s request. What about you? How’s your work going?”

“Yes. I think it would be okay to stay for about a week. How about you, Lee Han?”

Lee Han told Eric the current situation, as he was about to suggest that they go together.

He listened silently and smiled brightly.

“I can wait until Mr. Lee Han finishes his work.”

“If there’s something urgent, it’s okay if you go first.”

“Haha. It’s not really urgent. And if the chaos in Dwarven City dies down, they’ll be able to rest easier.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s good.”

“I am more fortunate. But who taught you the blacksmithing skills?”

“Well? They said they’d send someone tomorrow.”

“I see. I hope you learned well. I think I’ll have to go out a bit tomorrow for work.”

“You’ve had a hard time too.”

“Haha. What can I do?”

Eric looked at his two younger brothers, smiling bitterly.

“This is the role of a successor.”

The next day, a staff member came to the room where Lee Han was staying.

It was to let him know that there was a guest looking for him.

‘It looks like a dwarf has come to teach us his skills.’

Lee Han, dressed lightly, went downstairs with Seol-i.

A dwarf was seen sitting in the cafe in the hotel lobby.

“uh?”

It was a familiar face.

Carmen.

It was the dwarf who called himself the best blacksmith in Dwarven City.

“Welcome.”

“Carmen, what are you doing here?”

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you ask me to teach you the blacksmithing skills?”

“Ah. So is Carmen teaching you?”

“Yes. The city hall asked me to teach you the blacksmithing skills.”

He smiled brightly and got up from his seat.

As they followed him out of the hotel and arrived at Blacksmith Street, Carmen walked down the alley and guided Lee Han and Seol Myung to her workshop.

“If he were just a mediocre person, I would have refused even if it was a request from the city hall. But since the target is you, I should be able to refuse.”

“Hahaha. Thank you.”

“Thank you. By the way, I heard you saved Dwarven City?”

“I wouldn’t say I saved it, I just did some farming.”

“From what I’ve heard from the market, it seems like it’s not just farming. Anyway, I’d like to see what you’re capable of. Oh. Are you planning on using your crafting skills to make items?”

“No. If you make it yourself, you’ll end up with a better product.”

“That’s right. Those who are truly skilled tend to create things themselves rather than rely on the help of skills. I’m one of those people.”

He said that skills are useful for mass production and put a hammer in Lee Han’s hand.

“I have a hammer too.”

“Really? Then let’s try making something with that.”

After receiving one iron ingot, Lee Han immediately started working. What he started making was a sword.

A clanging sound echoes throughout the workshop.

With her arms folded, Carmen watched Lee Han’s work intently, and under his gaze, Lee Han completed a sword.

[Well-made longsword of assault]

[A longsword made of iron. A well-balanced sword.]

[Durability increased with well-made effects]

[Attack power increased with well-made effects]

[Gaia’s Hammer effect allows skill raid use]

[Production Difficulty: ☆☆☆]

After sharpening the sword’s edge, Lee Han held it out to Carmen.

Carmen looked at the sword he had made with a serious face and smiled.

“It’s pretty good.”

“thank you.”

“For a human, that is.”

Lee Han shrugged his shoulders slightly, as it wasn’t just a simple compliment.

“You only know the basics. The way you use iron is awkward.”

“That’s because I learned it from over your shoulder.”

“Haha. Is that so? Well, that’s good. I don’t have to teach him how to hold a hammer anymore.”

He smiled broadly and grabbed the iron ingot.

“I will now tell you why the best works are called ‘Dwarven’.”

With a confident look on her face, Carmen began to pound the iron.

Lee Han couldn’t help but be amazed at the sight.

It was definitely a learning experience just by watching his movements.

‘I guess I can make better equipment for my friends from the Suin tribe.’

Lee Han was satisfied with Carmen’s movements and tried to remember as much as he could about what she was teaching him.
