Episode 172

86. Made the Holy Sword – 2

“But what is this used for?”

I understand that the story is that Jin-eun is precious.

If so, shouldn’t we also find out where it is used?

When Lee Han asked curiously, Carmen thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“It is used in many places, but the most representative one is as a weapon. There is the holy sword you are using, right?”

“yes.”

“It is not used as a material when making it.”

‘Leon gave me something precious.’

Lee Han recalled when he had obtained the Holy Sword.

It was a gift Leon gave me during our first transaction.

To give such a precious thing as a mere token of promise. Even if you like someone, you should like them in moderation.

“So if we supply this to you, you can get what we need?”

While Lee Han was thinking about Leon, Seol Hwa became very excited.

That was understandable.

The East was a place with nothing special about it, but that’s about to change.

“If you think about the value of Jin-eun, then yes? Of course, you have to check it yourself to know how much Jin-eun there is.”

The purity of the silver, and the reserves. You have to look into all of those things.

When Carmen pointed to Jin-eun and spoke, Seol-hwa nodded confidently.

“If that’s the case, I’d definitely welcome it!”

“Then we need laborers… … Have you ever worked in a mine?”

Seolhwa shook her head slightly, feeling uneasy.

Mining work is not something that can be done simply with strength.

As such, Carmen became serious, and fear filled her expression.

“Uh, what should I do?”

“Hmm… … I guess I should ask the fox people of the north. Would you like to do it yourself?”

“Uh… … That’s… … .”

“I will ask the fox tribe to do this for me.”

“Really? Then let’s do that.”

When Lee Han stepped forward, Seol-hwa’s expression brightened.

Seeing the tail wagging makes me feel quite happy.

“I got help again.”

“Okay. Just take care of Jin-eun later.”

“okay!”

“Anyway, since you’re here, why don’t you eat something before you go? You didn’t eat last time either.”

“Uh… … Are you okay?”

“of course.”

Seolhwa smiled brightly.

After dinner, when Seolhwa returned to the East, Lee Han headed to the blacksmith shop with Carmen, Lordran, and Skene.

This was to process the silver I had just obtained.

“Would you like to try it?”

“Are you okay?”

“With what you’ve learned so far, this shouldn’t be difficult for you. What do you plan on making?”

“I’m trying to make a sword.”

“knife?”

“yes.”

“The holy sword you have isn’t bad, is it? If you need a better sword… … .”

“Ah. I’m going to give it to my friend as a gift.”

Lee Han told how he came to obtain the Holy Sword.

A smile appeared on the lips of the three dwarves who had been listening for a long time.

In that case, giving a gift wouldn’t be a bad idea.

“I’ll help you.”

Lee Han put the silver ingot into the fire.

Using the power of the spirits to raise the temperature, Jin-eun began to heat up.

“To make a holy sword, you need a priest. While the blacksmith strikes the silver, the priest prays beside him and breathes holy power into it.”

“Then, should I just put in my holy power?”

As instructed by Carmen, Lee Han pushed Jin Eun into his divine power.

It wasn’t particularly difficult.

Jin-eun absorbed the divine power just as a sponge absorbs water.

“I’ve seen the making of a holy sword before, but it’s not easy to infuse it with holy power.”

“okay?”

“Silver is a sacred metal in itself. Infusing sacred power into such a metal is like pouring water little by little into a full bucket to fill it.”

You must continuously infuse your sacred power into the truth by pouring it into water until the limit of its surface tension is reached, and mix it with the sacredness that Jin-eun possesses.

It certainly wasn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean it was impossible.

“Good. I guess I can take it out now.”

As the heated Jin-eun appeared, Lee Han picked up Gaia’s hammer.

Every time you strike it, the shape of the silver changes.

“oh…….”

The sound of iron striking resonates through the cabin.

Those who heard that sound came to the blacksmith shop one by one.

“It feels strange.”

“You must be like that because you are a monster. After all, the Holy Sword is a weapon that can deal great damage to monsters.”

Walter smiled and said to Hongryeon, who felt strangely cold.

Walter felt the same way.

Because the power possessed by the Holy Spirit is dangerous even to the undead.

But neither of them wanted to stop Lee Han.

Because the sound of him striking the zither was more beautiful than any music.

“I feel a surge of divinity.”

Tree said something and everyone agreed.

That’s definitely true.

The blacksmith shop, which had become so familiar that it now seemed as if it was filled with an atmosphere that could only be felt in a grand temple, was filled with such energy.

It was Lee Han who led it.

He had been pounding the hammer without changing his expression, but now he couldn’t hear a single sound.

It is a state of selflessness to create a masterpiece.

Carmen noticed this and looked around at everyone, putting her hand to her lips.

It was to avoid any disturbance in concentration.

Shredder, who was watching Lee Han create the Holy Sword, hit Hongryeon and Walter with a thud.

The two of them, having received his signal, went outside and frowned.

“Did you feel it too?”

“Oh. Something is coming.”

“It seems like they’re trying to stop the Holy Sword from being created.”

This area is the dragon’s territory.

Although it was a place that was difficult for monsters to approach, monsters were gradually approaching, perhaps because the holy sword was being created.

“Is it the same as when you made the doll?”

“You could say it’s similar. It’s like creating a weapon that can be considered your natural enemy.”

“Then we have to stop this.”

Shredder walked into the forest with his body twisted slightly and his hand raised.

When Hongryeon and Walter followed him and left, Tree came out.

“I came here because I felt a strong sense of a monster coming from this area. It looks like Lee Han is up to something again.”

“huh.”

It was a dragon.

She came in out of breath while reading a book and eating cookies that Lee Han had made at his house. She looked toward the blacksmith shop and smiled.

He is truly an unknowable person.

“What about the other guys?”

“I went out earlier.”

It’s probably to deal with the monsters that are wandering around this area and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

“I can’t let Lee Han get in my way.”

The dragon nodded as the blacksmith from the forge gave a single word.

I don’t know what Lee Han is doing, but she has no intention of letting him get in her way either.

“You seem a bit busy. Would you like to help me out?”

“As much as you want.”

“Okay, I understand.”

The dragon also left, taking the tree and the explanation with him.

He didn’t stop even as they moved to help Yihan.

He just moved the hammer as if possessed by something.

“Hoooo… … .”

Lee Han took a deep breath and looked at the sword he had created in his hand.

He stared at the long, silver blade and silently reached out to one side of the blacksmith shop.

When Skene saw it, he placed the holy spirit in his hand.

It was because he noticed what Lee Han was trying to do.

Instead of saying thank you, he used his temperament to carefully carve a pattern onto the holy sword.

‘Is this the symbol of Gaia?’

The complex patterns carved into the sword were symbols of the goddess Gaia, who was worshipped by humans in the past.

After carving the pattern with delicate hands, Lee Han calmed down and focused on his work again.

“……after.”

A drop of sweat falls from Lee Han’s forehead.

Lordran took out a cloth and wiped his forehead.

It was not something he, the best craftsman in Dwarven City, could possibly do, but what could he not do for his apprentice who was about to become a fabler?

The same was true for Carmen and Skene.

They volunteered to serve Lee Han for his disciple, to whom they would not mind passing on everything.

and.

When the final pickling was over and the day was set.

It was a beautiful sword.

Lee Han let out a short sigh as he looked at the pure white holy sword, which could be called a work of art in itself.

“That’s great.”

Carmen, who had been watching Lee Han create the Holy Sword from beginning to end, only uttered one word.

He could tell what a compliment it was.

“I guess I should try it sometime.”

Lee Han, who went outside with the Holy Sword in his hand, slowly swung the sword around.

Gaia’s holy sword, emitting a soft light and drawing a trajectory in the darkness, revealed its power to cut through the darkness.

“The grace of the earth.”

Lee Han slowly drew up the power contained in the Holy Sword.

At that moment, light began to surround him.

“You could say it’s a kind of protective shield.”

“Oh. When did you come?”

Tree, said the dragon that came out of the forest with this explanation.

She tapped the light surrounding Lee Han with her finger.

“I think I can block most attacks at this level.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Is this the sword you made this time?”

“yes.”

“Oh my. There are so many of them.”

“Huh? It’s all over?”

“Haha. This is true. I didn’t know that an undead like me would be captivated by the light of the Holy Sword.”

Hongryeon, Shredder, and Walter were also walking out of the forest.

Their faces were filled with fatigue.

“There were monsters all around to prevent the completion of the holy sword. I took care of them.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Ha. Well, this is nothing. By the way, is that the holy sword you made… … ?”

Shredder took the holy sword from Lee Han’s hand, held it lightly, and swung it a few times.

“Hmm. I guess weapons don’t suit me.”

“Did you make this to use?”

“No. I want to give it to Leon as a gift.”

“I doubt he’ll take it. Why don’t you write it instead?”

“I am sufficient with my holy sword.”

“But that’s the elf’s holy sword.”

When Hongryeon suggested that it would be better to return the holy sword, which only works when held by an elf, Lee Han shrugged instead of answering.

“Let’s meet him first.”

* * *

Leon felt that his territory had become more bustling for the first time in a long time.

The peaceful and quiet estate where sheep and goats run wild is bustling with people.

Still, the smile did not disappear from his lips.

“Then, is Count Leon also going to the Great Forest?”

The royal delegation was enjoying their final rest at their estate.

These are people who want to maintain a good relationship with Daesurim.

To Leon, these were welcome guests, so he gave a comfortable smile to the representative of the envoy asking him, Princess Ceria.

“Yes, I plan to go too.”

“Is Count Leon close to Lee Han?”

Leon thought for a moment and nodded toward the princess, who was looking at him with sparkling eyes and holding her hands together.

“You are someone I am always grateful to. I wonder if I can call you a friend….”
