Episode 133.
Inside the Seo family workshop.
“Hmm.”
Siwoo sat on the chair, lost in thought.
In front of Siwoo, there were hundreds of ornaments.
The ornaments made by Siwoo were of various types.
Starting with rings, earrings, toe rings, and bracelets.
No other ornaments were made.
Nose rings, navel piercings, and anklets.
And I didn’t even make a chin-piercing ornament.
No matter what, I couldn’t get through the chin.
Nose rings and navel piercings were not permitted by Confucius.
So, the gentleman’s heart [SSS] that is rooted in Siwoo’s spirit.
The spirit stubbornly refused to wear a nose ring or navel piercing.
So rings, earrings, toe rings, and bracelets.
This was the Maginot Line of the gentleman’s heart (SSS).
Above all, has Siwoo already acquired the spirit of a scholar?
“I don’t really like piercings either….”
To be honest, it was something Siwoo didn’t want to do either.
And the anklet… .
I didn’t make it because I didn’t want to be misunderstood.
anyway.
Siwoo created hundreds of pieces of jewelry.
And all of these trinkets were engraved with the power of amplification.
Is that why?
The related proficiency level could be raised considerably.
However, reality manipulation did not increase as much as expected because it only had the same imprint.
So I thought, should I try a different imprint?
“Ahh…!”
I quickly stopped because of the mind-boggling shock.
anyway.
After creating and engraving hundreds of pieces of jewelry, Siwoo was finally able to confirm two facts.
The first of them.
“The better the quality of the equipment, the higher the amplified value… .”
To be exact, the better the quality of the equipment being engraved, the better the effect of the engraving.
To put it simply, equipment that received a ‘picked up from the trash can’ evaluation.
Equipment that has been evaluated as a ‘disposable product’.
When the same engraving is applied to each piece of equipment.
Disposable equipment now has higher engraving values.
The better Hephaestus’ evaluation, the better the effect of the imprint.
“It’s not good to make things haphazardly.”
In that sense, it was not something that could be done solely relying on ISIS’s reality manipulation (SSS).
God’s Metallurgy (SS) also had to be taken care of.
In order to overcome the limitations of God’s Metallurgy (SS), one had to fully understand and be able to handle God’s Metallurgy (SS).
“What is this? It’s not a big deal.”
It was a problem that could be solved.
It wasn’t a problem that the amplification imprint wasn’t there.
First of all, the confirmation results.
The individuality of Godtube has also been amplified.
So it wasn’t a big problem.
“Because you just have to improve the quality of your equipment.”
All you had to do was raise your skill level in God’s Metallurgy (SS).
But the second one.
“The imprinted power doesn’t overlap… .”
There was no way to do this.
As intended, the effects of the imprints did not overlap.
More precisely, only the highest value was applied.
9 rings with +5% amplification value.
1 ring with +6% amplification value.
If you wear rings on all ten fingers like this, the amplification value should be +51% according to calculations.
But in reality, that wasn’t the case.
The highest amplification value among the ten finger rings.
Only one amplification value of +6% was applied to Siu.
“What I’m saying is that things imprinted through reality manipulation don’t overlap.”
This was true for all engravings, not just the Silk Amplification engravings.
Only the highest numerical effect was applied.
So, hundreds of ornaments are now placed in front of Siwoo.
“…I guess I’ll have to sell them all.”
It could be said to be of no use at all.
Of course, it doesn’t just overlap.
The power of amplification was applied.
So, all you had to do was wear one of the best quality jewelry.
But back to the first one.
“The better the quality of the equipment, the higher the amplified value.”
Plus the second one again.
“Because only the highest number of engravings are applied.”
So these are the amplification accessories that Siwoo has made.
These trinkets had really terrible amplification values.
“What is 0.3%? 0.3%.”
It was so miserable that I was on the verge of going to hell.
0.3% is like rat urine.
Of course, it was fortunate that it wasn’t an amoeba callus.
“I’m not sure if it’ll sell….”
It wasn’t a figure that could be felt.
But isn’t it a shame to just throw it away?
“I should set it aside and leave it with So-eun.”
Siwoo packed the trinkets one by one into his subspace pocket.
After putting all the trinkets in there.
“I guess I should finish watching the video.”
Siwoo looked at Gottube’s smartphone on the table.
A still image appeared on the screen I was looking at.
The still image showed two men sitting across from each other.
Siwoo pressed the play button on the still image.
Hold on.
[The baby’s baby is !!!!]
As the video played, harsh profanity was heard.
A man of rough build and a fierce appearance.
It would be none other than the god of thunder, Thor.
[Bring it now! Before I blow up this forge!!!]
Thor shouted, his expression distorted into a menacing grimace.
Then Kwarrurung!!
Numerous thunderbolts began to strike the sky.
Indeed, the god of thunder.
And the reason Thor was so angry was simple.
A video uploaded to the Hephaestus channel a while ago.
A video of none other than Thor’s Mjolnir being stolen and pickled.
[You dare steal my Mjolnir? Just leave this little bastard alone!]
Thinking about that video, I could immediately understand why Thor was so angry right now.
Kkwarung, kkwarurururung!!
Thor’s lightning struck indiscriminately.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!!!
I lowered my crying to a minimum due to the deafening noise.
But bang bang bang bang!!
The sound of the heavens and the earth being created echoed through my eardrums.
and.
[Hahahaha!]
Hephaestus’ hearty laughter was heard.
[I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I just got curious without realizing it.]
Hephaestus scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Kkwarung! Kkwarurung!
The screen shook violently at the loud noise of the heavens and earth being created.
Thunder and lightning striking in all directions created an oppressive scene.
But Hephaestus did not budge.
[Did you think you’d be so stupid as to have Mjolnir taken away from you?]
On the contrary, he only said things that irritated me.
At this moment, Thor was about to shout again.
[I will make you a piece of equipment as a token of my apology.]
Stop.
Thor’s movements suddenly froze.
The thunder and lightning that had been striking in all directions also stopped as if they had paused for a moment.
The weather cleared up in an instant.
[Really?]
Thor said with his eyes wide open.
Is Hephaestus’ power also recognized in Norse mythology?
[Really, Hephaestus, you’re going to make my equipment?]
Thor’s speech had become more polite.
[Okay, okay. But while I’m at it, I’d like to borrow your Mjolnir for the last time.]
[What is that….]
Thor nodded slightly, pretending not to know.
In mythology, Thor values Mjolnir more than his life.
Once, Trim, the king of the Jotun giants, stole Mjolnir.
Like Hephaestus now.
Thor disguises himself as a woman to find Mjolnir.
Thor, a man who breaks the pots of countless giants and monsters.
Thor sheds his manly pride and dresses as a woman.
To find Mjolnir.
Mjolnir was such a precious hammer to Thor.
[Hephaestus, if you make the equipment…]
But now it was just a blacksmith’s hammer.
And that’s why Siwoo was watching this video.
Hence, the title of this video.
『
Siwoo did not know how to refine orichalcon.
So I decided to learn that refining method as well.
I just happened to get three orichalcons.
“If you make jewelry with Orichalcon, you should be able to get at least a 5% boost.”
It could have been as high as 10%.
Orichalcon is a material called the metal of the gods.
The equipment and accessories made from those materials would never be ordinary.
anyway.
[I was going to start melting the furnace while I was at it, so let’s start right away.]
In the video, Hephaestus slowly got up from his seat.
And then he took something out from one side.
Something like a boulder of a crimson color.
[Really… it’s Orihalcon.]
Thor muttered.
Siwoo also nodded.
Raw orichalcon or siu could be identified.
“It’s the same.”
Because it was the same.
Its appearance was identical to that of the Orichalcon on Earth.
Orichalcon, which has never been processed before due to its extreme strength.
That’s why the raw form was more familiar to Siwoo.
[This orichalcon cannot simply be melted with heat. In order to be smelted… that is, to make it into molten iron and remove impurities, it must be beaten directly.]
After a while, Hephaestus took something out again and showed it to me.
Short handle and thick hammer.
Mjolnir.
Thor flinched and trembled.
The impression became grim and dark clouds gathered around.
[I will make your equipment and return it to you.]
But the weather became clear again after Hephaestus’s words.
Hephaestus placed Orichalcum on the anvil under the pouring sunlight.
Then he gripped the Mjolnir in his hand tightly.
Crunch!
The tendons on Hephaestus’ arms surged.
Mjolnir rushed towards Orichalcon.
and.
Kkaaa …
The blacksmith… exploded.
That was said without any exaggeration.
The real blacksmith literally exploded.
[Kiya~!!]
A burst of exclamation came out, as if a bowl of thick liquor had been poured over it.
Hephaestus’ expression reflected on the screen.
[This is the taste!!]
For some reason, I was in a state of ecstasy.
Hephaestus continued to strike down Mjolnir.
Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh …
Additional chain explosions occur… .
Kwakwakwakwang!!
The blacksmith shop completely exploded─.
Kwaaaaang! Kwakwakwang!!
Crash, collapse, and flop down.
Kkwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!!
“……”
The world itself was just imploding.
In a world where things are exploding in all directions.
[Wow~!!]
The thick elasticity of Hephaestus was heard.
“……”
I was really speechless.
To be more precise, I couldn’t understand it.
That’s… That’s forging. What the heck.
“Is Orichalcon okay…?”
Even the orichalcon was fine.
In the midst of the world collapsing.
The orichalcon stood firm in its position.
That means.
“Even Mjolnir can’t break Orichalcum…?”
Mjolnir was the most highly regarded hammer in Norse mythology.
A mythical weapon that is on par with Gungnir, the spear of omnipotence.
Even Jormungandr couldn’t withstand one blow from Mjolnir.
But now what….
Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!!!
[Kiyaaaaa~~~!!]
Hephaestus let out a pleasant exclamation of delight at what was so good about it.
Behind that kind of elasticity.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!!
The world continued to crumble and shatter.
Is that why?
“What… can I learn?”
Of course, the purpose of this video was not to lecture.
It was just a video for YouTube views.
Also, as always.
The videos on Godtube were not something that could be understood by anyone in their right mind.
But even so, it is still like that.
“……”
Siwoo sat still, his mind wandering.
And right then.
Daughter.
The door to the workshop opened and a cheerful bell sounded.
“I wish you long life.”
And then I heard a language I couldn’t understand.
A flowing language that rolls off the tongue.
When I glanced at the door of the workshop, there was none other than Aurelian standing there.
* * *
Siwoo looked down at the heavy stone in his hand.
Orichalcum.
It looked exactly like the Orichalcum seen in the Hephaestus video.
“Why are you here?”
A fluent French voice came into Siwoo’s ears.
When I looked there, there was an old man with a grumpy look, Aurelian.
Next to Aurelian, a group of people stood guard.
Aurelian’s bodyguards.
Judging by the momentum they were sending, they were definitely not ordinary people.
At least A grade.
Every single one of them was at least A-class.
A security team comprised of people with considerable skill.
It seemed like they were quite concerned about security after the recent kidnapping of Aurelian.
But there was no interpreter among them.
The reason was not much different.
None other than this place where Siwoo is right now.
Kieeeeeek─!!
This was because this place was none other than inside a dungeon.
That too is a B+ grade… .
What kind of monster was it?
I do not know.
In fact, I wasn’t even sure if it was a B+ grade dungeon.
Because I just made a reservation at the nearest dungeon and came in.
anyway.
Dungeons, whether B+ or F grade, were off-limits to the general public.
You had to be awakened to gain entry.
Aurelian is also an awakened blacksmith.
However, since the interpreter was an ordinary person, he could not enter the dungeon.
So Siwoo couldn’t understand what Aurelian was saying.
But language is only one means of communication, not the only means.
So, looking at Aurelian’s expression.
‘I think he’s asking why I suddenly came to the dungeon.’
After much thought, Siwoo slowly opened his mouth.
