Episode 255.
The equipment currently being used by Siwoo was the Orihalcon Gauntlet.
A gauntlet made from a single piece of orichalcon using the metallurgy of the gods (SS).
Here is the attribute of immortality.
In other words, it was granted the ability to be indestructible, and was able to remain unaffected by Hercules’ super strength (SS) and divine fighting technique (SSS).
In addition, the gauntlet itself has an amplification function, which clearly shows its reputation as a templar.
Even Hephaestus was surprised and said, ‘Wow, you’ve created such amazing equipment!!!’
Not just any amazing gear, but, wow, amazing gear.
Here, Isis’ reality manipulation (SSS) could be added to further strengthen it.
‘There’s no problem with continuing to use this Orichalcon gauntlet.’
So I want to change the Orichalcon gauntlet I’m using now.
That wasn’t my idea.
‘I guess it’s time to start making other equipment.’
The problem was that there was ‘only’ the Orichalcon gauntlet.
Siwoo’s fighting style was martial arts.
A fighting technique that uses the body to strike the enemy.
A martial art that uses the body to subdue enemies.
In other words, he was using the Hercules Divine Fighting Art (SSS) that included grappling.
And it was a technology that utilized the ‘body’.
Hercules’ SSS (Sacred Fighting Art) was a fighting style that utilized not only the fists, but all parts of the body.
Right from the first meal, it was Nakryonggak (Falling Dragon’s Leg).
The fusion herbivore is the Brain and Blue Dragon Leg.
It was a herbivore that used its legs rather than its fists.
However, the only equipment Siwoo used was the Orichalcon Gauntlet.
The technique on the leg side was no different from that on the bare body.
‘Hercules also used greaves.’
If you think about it, that was true.
When thinking of equipment used by Hercules, the first thing that comes to mind is the Nemean lion helmet.
But Hercules also wore a lot of equipment.
One of them is the ‘Hercules shin guard’.
In other words, it was a leg bandage.
‘The naming is really….’
Isn’t it too monotonous?
Seo-ah’s naming sense was better.
‘Well, that’s not really my place to say anything.’
That’s why the Orichalcon Gauntlet was named Orichalcon Gauntlet.
anyway.
Hercules was able to save Olympus by using the ‘Hercules’ greaves.
It was able to tear apart all 1.3 billion Gigantes.
‘I think it would be nice to have a pair of gaiters too… .’
At the same time, Siwoo knew.
The person who made the shin guards for Hercules.
I knew who the mastermind was.
“By the way, Siwoo. What happens if I use my individuality during treatment?”
While I was lost in thought, Yoo Han-na asked me.
Yoo Han-na was holding the staff and her eyes were sparkling.
What should I say about that appearance?
“Won’t the fireballs pile up? Then, can I just keep firing fire magic?”
It looked like an impatient hedgehog.
It seemed like his body was itching to use the staff.
This means that the performance of equipment made with transcendent metallurgy (SSS) is good.
‘Hmm… .’
Siwoo looked at the anxious hedgehog and fell into deep thought.
* * *
[Hmm? Are you talking about the shin guards I made for you?]
The voice of Hephaestus was heard.
When I looked up, there stood Hephaestus, upgraded to 4D surround stereoscopic picture quality.
But um.
[It was a bit of a struggle to make that. Hahaha.]
… really ugly.
It’s so unimaginably ugly.
Even when only looking at the screen, Hephaestus was incredibly ugly.
But the materialized Hephaestus was truly the ugliest of all.
Unimaginable.
If you burn the face of a cuckoo with Yoo Han-na’s flame magic and forge it with Nakryonggak 3,722 times, it will probably turn out like that.
[But why are you suddenly asking that?]
In a word, his face was completely ruined.
Now I understand a little why Aphrodite was so obsessed with Adonis.
That doesn’t mean Aphrodite did a good job, though.
anyway.
“Big. Ahem.”
Siwoo coughed a few times and then opened his mouth.
“I was thinking of making it too.”
Hercules shin guard.
It was none other than Hephaestus who made that equipment for Hercules.
[You yourself?]
“Yes. I was wondering if you could tell me how you made it.”
[Hmm…]
Hephaestus thought for a moment and then continued.
[The shin guards I made for my younger brother are one of my greatest creations. It’s not like I can easily share the recipe with others.]
It was a natural thing.
Because telling others about your secret recipe is something that everyone is reluctant to do.
[But, well, you’re inheriting everything from me, so it’s okay.]
But Hephaestus didn’t seem to care much.
As the saying goes, Siwoo inherited everything from Hephaestus.
Siwoo opened his mouth, cheering inwardly.
“Then, could you help me with the upgrade as well?”
[upgrade?]
Instead of answering, Siwoo took something out of his subspace pocket.
A string that is flapping with one end broken.
It was Gleipnir who was strangling the black stone.
“I was wondering if I could make it by adding this.”
A masterpiece created by the dwarves of Norse mythology.
Gleipnir was a string made of six materials that did not exist in the world.
A woman’s beard.
The roots of the mountain.
The sound of a cat’s footsteps.
The breath of fish.
Bear’s tendon.
Bird’s spit.
Here, the bear’s tendon was a thing that existed in the world.
However, the bear’s tendons were very short and not suitable for making anything.
In fact, there are no tools made from bear tendons.
So the bear’s sinews mentioned in Gleipnir are sinews as a material.
That is, bear tendon as a usable material does not exist in the world.
It was written with this meaning.
anyway.
Gleipnir was made of a material that did not exist in this world, and had properties that could not be broken by anything that existed in this world.
It wasn’t for nothing that I was able to strangle Black Rock, who was called the Wolf of the End.
The power of Siwoo that did not exist in the world.
But it was cut off by force (SSR).
However, this did not mean that Gleipnir’s properties disappeared.
So now.
[Hoo…]
Hephaestus brought his face closer to examine it more closely.
And Hephaestus, seen up close, was… .
I couldn’t help but be amazed.
[If this is it…]
Hephaestus also couldn’t help but be amazed.
Hephaestus’ eyes were filled with unmistakable amazement as he looked at Gleipnir.
It’s only natural that good equipment comes from good materials.
Accordingly, a blacksmith would naturally drool over good ingredients.
But is that material Gleipnir?
[I might be able to make equipment that is even better than my life’s work…]
Siwoo could also feel the shock that he couldn’t hide.
Equipment that surpasses Hephaestus’ masterpiece.
How can one not be astonished by this?
“What should I do first?”
Siwoo asked Hephaestus with a trembling heart.
And then came Hephaestus’ answer.
[First, prepare a lot of orichalcons.]
“……yes?”
Suddenly I wondered what that sound was.
* * *
Woohoo.
My vision changed with a slight tinnitus and the landscape of the Earth came into view.
“ha….”
Siwoo came out of the dungeon and let out a deep sigh without realizing it.
More precisely, I let out a sigh on my own.
“Where on earth do you get all those orichalcons?”
Orichalcon for making new equipment.
Moreover, it wasn’t even a single lump.
You need at least 5 pieces.
5 pieces.
Does this make sense?
Hephaestus, it was easy for you to say that, since there was a mine of Orichalcon in the back mountain.
But it wasn’t Siwoo.
Finding Orichalcon was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
“Orichalcons don’t just fall from the sky.”
Even if it fell from the sky, it would be a problem.
So, even if there were 5 items for sale, it was a problem.
“It’s not like it costs a penny or two.”
The value of one lump is at least 100 billion.
If it’s 5 pieces, it would be at least 500 billion.
“What is my account balance right now?”
As far as Siwoo remembers, there was about 88 billion won left in the account balance.
Cut everything here into pieces! The sword is worth 100 billion won.
2.5 billion won in YouTube advertising fees received from SH Group.
And 127.1 billion in membership subscription fees paid before subscription compression.
Kkuk. Kkuk.
[Account Balance] – 63,452,825,000￦
“63.4 billion… .”
And yet, an additional 52 million won was stamped out.
It was an amount that couldn’t even buy a single piece of orichalcon.
The monthly subscription fee that had to be paid here could not be ignored either.
Even though the subscriptions have been compressed, the monthly subscription fee that must be paid is still 95.1 billion.
It was still a desperate situation to even pay the interest.
“I wish I had raised the price of the blood transfusion agent just a little bit….”
Given the circumstances, I had this thought for a moment.
“Okay, that’s enough.”
But I quickly shook the thought off.
Because the blood transfusion agent wasn’t created with that in mind.
I had to earn money to live, I didn’t want to live to earn money.
“ha….”
Anyway, it was a situation that made me sigh.
“Oh! I wonder if there’s any custom order requests.”
Siwoo had announced that if you pay for custom equipment production with Orihalcon, they will give you priority in making it.
By now, there must be hunters from other countries who have rescued Orichalcon.
Siwoo immediately checked the DM message on YouTube.
Hold on.
: I ask you to do what you want.
.
.
I’ve been receiving quite a few DM messages asking if I’ve raised 100 billion won so far.
One of the more unusual messages is one called ‘Monster Cook’.
Of course, it wasn’t a person’s name.
Siwoo was also known as the name of a YouTube channel.
“Wasn’t the owner of this channel Clement Hunter?”
Clement, a S-class hunter from France.
At the same time, he was also a hunter who was currently in Korea as Aurelian’s bodyguard.
“Weren’t you using Aurelian’s equipment?”
As Aurelian’s bodyguard, it was definitely like that.
But I think I was a little shaken after watching Siwoo’s commercial.
Well, anyway.
“None.”
There wasn’t any.
There wasn’t a single hunter who paid for the orichalcon.
As such, Orichalcon was an item that was harder to obtain than 100 billion won.
“Let’s start by making the custom-made items quickly.”
Even if an orichalcon is listed, you have to have money to buy it or not.
Above all, the next subscription fee payment was insufficient.
Siwoo headed towards Seo’s workshop, stumbling along like that.
No, it was exactly the moment I was heading towards.
“Are you the Maeng Si-woo hunter?”
A voice was heard from somewhere.
A rather unfamiliar voice.
When he turned his head wondering what was going on, there, as expected, was an unfamiliar man approaching Siwoo.
Age: approximately early 40s.
He was the owner of a bald head that glistened in the sunlight, along with a bushy beard.
‘bandit?’
That was the first impression.
These weren’t ordinary bandits either.
It feels like a bandit from the Goguryeo era sitting in a tavern, munching on freshly caught wild boar meat dipped in soup and chewing it.
Of course, I don’t know if there were inns during the Goguryeo period.
anyway.
He was a man with a rough demeanor.
So Si-woo could tell right away who that man was.
“Kwon Pil-sang Hunter?”
There are six S-class hunters in Korea.
No, since Lee Ye-jun became like that, there are now five S-class hunters.
Geumcheon Gyu, Lee Ha-rin, Lee Si-yoon, and Yoo Han-na.
Kwon Pil-sang was the last fifth S-class hunter.
Kwon Pil-sang trudged towards Si-woo.
“I heard you need Orihalcon.”
And then he suddenly said:
I was curious, but it seems like I saw the commercial video on the Seongnam channel.
“Yes, but.”
Siwoo nodded.
Then, one by one, Kwon Pil-sang untied the pocket on his waist.
And then boom.
“Take it.”
He threw the whole thing at Siwoo.
Siwoo took the bag absentmindedly.
The bag I received was quite heavy.
It was heavy, not just solid.
It had such a weight to it that it made one very curious about what was inside.
Siwoo examined the contents of his pocket─.
“Orihalcon?”
It was orichalcon.
What was definitely in the pocket was an orichalcon.
It wasn’t just one piece either.
One Two Three Four Five….
“6 pieces???”
A whopping 6 pieces.
There were six orichalcons in the bag.
“Ah, no, this is….”
Siwoo wondered what the situation was.
But that was only for a moment.
“Are you looking to hire me to make equipment for you?”
I was able to understand the situation quickly.
But what the heck.
“Making equipment?”
However, Kwon Pil-sang did not understand what Si-woo was saying.
“Were you making the equipment too?”
Could it be that you didn’t know?
Then why this…?
“Are you trying to sell me some orichalcon?”
When Si-woo asked, Kwon Pil-sang shook his head.
“That’s not it either.”
“Then why are you giving this to me…?”
When Si-woo asked, Kwon Pil-sang slowly opened his mouth.
“Just take it.”
……what?
Siwoo wondered if he had heard correctly just now.
