CH 149

The Marquis of Valentino had a frustrating day.

At first, he was convinced that Dmitry's Master Blacksmith, Hendrick, was the craftsman who created the Blaze.

There was no one else in the northeast area who could make a sword like that.

So, as soon as I got the bid at the auction, I sent someone to Dmitry, but contrary to the inflated expectations, I got a disappointing reply.

"I haven't put my sword on the auction house lately."

If Hendrick made Blaze.

It will definitely be a masterpiece of a lifetime.

He would not have known that his work was sold at the auction house, so Hendrick was excluded from the list of dragons.

That was the beginning of the obsession. The Marquis of Valentino used the connections and financial resources that he could mobilize to visit all the artisans in the Cairo Kingdom to confirm that he was the owner of the Blaze.

Not me.

No one in Cairo can make a sword like this.

A sword that perfectly accepts mana. In a nutshell, it is a technology that cannot be found even if you search all over the continent.

return answer.

There was no clue to the truth.

In fact, finding out the owner of the blaze had no specific purpose.

It was a greed that came from pure curiosity, and I thought I would be really happy as a collector just by laughing and talking while having a cup of tea together.

Is that so? As time went on, the frustration inevitably increased.

Obviously, the sword was made in the Cairo Kingdom, but the identity of the craftsman could not be found.

Lucas.

He completely erased his traces.

He simply inferred Hendrick because Dmitry was the best at blacksmithing, but he left no clues.

But a few days ago.

Marquis Valentino heard good news from Suha.

I heard from someone who met Dmitry's Master Blacksmith a few days ago, and he said he saw a blade similar to a blaze in Hendrick's collection. I'm not sure it's a sword made by the same person, but that sword, which Hendrick boasted, showed a shocking ability to absorb mana perfectly, just like the blaze. Marquis. What should I do?"

Same ability as Blaze.

The justification was enough.

The Marquis Valentino got up from his seat, immediately put on his outdoor clothes and got into the carriage.

Go to Dmitry right now!

a few days after that.

The Marquis of Valentino appeared in Dmitry.

* * *

Dmitry's Master Blacksmith.

Hendrick is not an easy person to meet.

However, if the customer was a giant like the Marquis of Valentino, Hendrick had no choice but to move his heavy buttocks.

What did you come to me for?

A modest office interior.

It wasn't a place he usually stayed at, but he couldn't deal with the Marquis Valentino at the dusty forge.

Opposite Hendrick.

The Marquis Valentino said with a slightly recalled face.

I will tell you the main point straight-forward. A month ago, at the Adelian Auction House, I won a bid for a sword named Blaze. As you know, I am a collector of hobbyists. Like Master Hendrick, he didn't deal with iron his whole life, but I think he had an eye to see how valuable the sword was. Blazes are truly a treasure. Seeing the sword fully accepting mana, I was convinced that the craftsman who made it was the best in Cairo.

gave a signal

Then, the knight who was waiting behind put something wrapped in a cloth on the table.

sure.

This is the Blaze.

walked the cloth

one sword.

A smooth appearance was revealed.

Hendrik showed a surprised expression on the sword shining brightly under the light.

'Also.'

Hendrick's reaction.

It wasn't that he admired the state of the sword.

He was aware of the existence of the sword in the first place, and he seemed surprised to find out that it belonged to the Marquis of Valentino.

It was as expected. As a Marquis of Valentino, who lived as a collector and met many craftsmen, he thought that there was no other craftsman who could make a sword like this in the Kingdom of Cairo except Hendrick.

To be honest, I had doubts about Hendrick's ability, but I did not rule out Hendrick's possibility because there were no other options.

And now.

Hendrick couldn't hide his embarrassment.

Whether he made it or knew who made it, Hendrick had a clue.

You also know the value of a sword. a few days ago. I have heard from my subordinates that there is a sword similar to this in Master Hendrick's collection. That is the purpose of my visit to Master. By any chance, can you confirm the sword that Master Hendrick is holding?

His voice was filled with anticipation.

If Suha's report is not wrong, the Marquis Valentino will demand a definitive answer from the opponent.

Are you the master of the sword?

Or, do you know the master of the sword?

Hendrik's sword was proof of conviction.

Great.

Hendrick looked worried.

Valentino Marquis.

heard rumors

It was the first time I had met him in person, but since he was such a passionate collector, he often bought items from the Dmitry Forge.

A person who deserves to be called a VVIP just for the transaction history.

Although some refer to him as a greedy collector, the craftsmen never took offense to the Marquis of Valentino.

The Marquis of Valentino is famous for making things worthwhile, and being treated worthy of it.

collection competitors.

They may be evil among them.

In order to take possession of the things the artisans put out, he did not choose any means and methods, but at least showed a sincere attitude towards the artisans.

I could tell just by looking at the attitude towards Hendrick.

If Hendrick was to sell his cherished items, the Marquis Valentino was a very suitable person.

That is to say.

This person will recognize the value of the sword.

Actually.

Hendrick was waiting for this situation.

I always wanted to show off the gifts I received, but finally, someone who will fully appreciate the value came to me.

It was an opportunity. Expectations were already aroused, but he spoke in a calm voice without showing any expression on his face.

Wait a minute. I will show you the sword.

at that word.

Marquis Valentino's expression brightened as if he had won the world.

* * *

widely.

put down the sword

With a smooth figure that caught the eye, Marquis Valentino couldn't hide his excitement as soon as he checked the sword.

'Are you sure. It is the work of the artisan who made the blaze.

I haven't checked my abilities.

However, the works of artisans have certain characteristics.

Hendrik's sword had a similar shape to that of a blaze, and the blade of the light burning down made my heart cool just by looking at it.

It was certain. Even without the need to inject mana into the sword, the Marquis Valentino was convinced that the creator of the sword was the same person as the owner of the blaze.

Hendrick said.

The sword s name is Salamander. As the Marquis Valentino predicted, Salamander and Blaze were made by the same person. To be precise, Salamander was the first product, and Blaze was created after that.

Moment.

The Marquis Valentino raised his head.

Rather than the fact that it was the work of the same craftsman, the statement that Salamander was the first product captured his mind.

Is this your first work?

Mouth was dry.

first and second.

It was a huge difference.

Although blazes may be superior as swords, collectors initially attached considerable significance to them.

The reason was simple. The second will lose the value of the order by the third and fourth at any time, but the fact that the first is the first alone has no choice but to receive a high value from collectors.

My heart raced.

Desire swelled strongly.

I really want to have it.

The Marquis of Valentino has an iron rule.

If the item was found by a master craftsman.

never disregarded that fact.

He did not make the foolish mistake of coveting the craftsman's things, only taking the things the craftsman put out somehow.

Hendrick.

It could be the master who made the sword.

Or, it may be a gift from the owner.

Knowing that what he was about to say would be disrespectful, the Marquis Valentino had no choice but to spit it out.

I am very careful, but could you possibly sell this sword to me? If you sell it, I will pay enough price for it.

Sorry, but this is not for sale. It was a gift, and I think the Marquis Valentino will fully understand how I feel, as a collector like myself, not being able to sell this item.

Did you say it's a present now?"

expression changed.

Showing a disappointment at the resolute refusal, he was awakened by the word gift.

This is not a sword that Hendrick made. If given a gift, he may know the craftsman s identity.

It was certain.

If you can't buy a sword.

At least, I wanted to find out the craftsman's identity.

Then can I ask whoever made the sword?

The question of the Marquis of Valentino.

It was the bar Hendrick had been waiting for.

From the moment I witnessed Roman making a sword.

Hendrik was always itching to show the world what a great craftsman Dmitry's eldest son was.

timely.

Appropriate trumpeters appeared.

If it was the Marquis of Valentino, it was a good target to tell the truth.

Marquis Valentino. Who would have made this sword in Dmitry?

surely. Are you Baron Romero?

"no."

Heck, he laughed.

The smile of those who know the truth.

Hendrick shocked the Marquis of Valentino, who longed for the truth.

The eldest son of the Dmitry family. Roman Dmitry is the master of the two swords.

* * *

I lost my words.

Is this what it feels like to be in shock?

At the remarks that were far beyond common sense, Marquis Valentino did not come to his senses for a while.

'Roman Dmitry. He made Salamander and Blaze?'

It was shocking.

two swords.

Artistic work.

It would be understandable if it was the work of people who spent their whole lives in the forge, such as Baron Romero and Hendrick, but the fact that it was the work of Roman, who was only in his mid-20s, could not readily be accepted.

The artisan's work does not lie.

There are various kinds of geniuses in the world, but at least in the realm of a craftsman who creates something, it is only with enough experience and effort to create an artistic work.

it didn't make sense

How did you create such a perfect work at the age of 20?

Besides.

'Roman Dmitry is a genius swordsman. Rumor has it that you defeated Butler, a ranker in the kingdom of Hector. The greatest genius of the Cairo Kingdom created the best sword in the Cairo Kingdom. If this is true... .'

closely.

strength entered his fist.

Think about it.

The youngest continental ranker.

The mere result deserves high praise, but the identity of the craftsman gave the work a great modifier.

This.

It was really awesome.

From the result of the work to the story contained in it.

My heart was beating so fast, it felt like it was going to stop right away.

Every work has a story that is important to it. If the person who made the sword was simply an unknown craftsman, it would only be evaluated as a result, but if it was a craftsman like Hendrick, a premium would be added. But what if the unexpectedly best swordsman in the kingdom is the true craftsman? Needless to say People attach a special meaning to the sword, and both of you will express your intention to buy it, and its rarity alone will not make it worthwhile.

Blaze.

It was more treasure than expected.

People have said that the winning bid was quite exorbitant, but when the true value is known, it will be just a penny.

eyes became hazy.

fell in love

Roman Dmitry.

I wanted to meet him.

I wondered how the best swordsman in the kingdom created the best sword in the continent.

jump

I think I will have to meet Roman Dmitry in person.

One month of unrequited love.

Finally, it was time to see the results.
