00078 16. To get to the Imperial Palace
After entering the imperial palace, I thought about where the forge would be.
“He's on the outskirts, right? ”
There should be quite a lot of noise, such as hammering. The forge won't be deep in the imperial palace.
Overwhelmed
After that, he started walking along the walls.
“Is that so?"
“Yes!”
Following the wall, Myeonghu found soldiers patrolling the wall from afar. At the same time, the two soldiers found out and stopped walking.
Gruk, gruk.
Myung Hu was flawed when the soldiers suddenly stopped walking, but he was a little embarrassed when the soldiers bowed their heads.
But they weren't the only soldiers. The soldiers I met afterwards also bowed their heads as soon as they found the manifestation.
The strange aftermath made me think of why the soldiers acted like that. There was only one thing that changed.
Is it the clothes? ’
It must have been because of the clothes. Precisely because of the elegance raised by the clothes. Nothing is known in detail about dignity. However, the response from the soldiers was clear that it had a good effect.
It was just then.
Thump! Thump!
- Uh, um...
You hear the sound of a horse with a hammer in front of you.
“Found it.”
Bright weather smiled and began to rush towards the front of the forge at a rapid pace.
* * * *
Nerfi, the head of the palace blacksmiths, was pacing around the forge.
Thump! Thump! Kick!
“Let's move! ”
Glug! Glug! Kick!
“Hey, you! Don't take one look at me. I don't care about you. ”
After finishing tuning around the forge once, Nerphy soon picks up the sword he was making and starts smoking again.
Tin Tin Tin Teeth!
"Huh?
As soon as I put the sword in cold water to cool it down, Nerfi finds a man coming into the forge.
Nobles?
The man who came into the forge was clearly a nobleman, judging by the clothes he was wearing and the dignity he felt. The man searched the inside of the forge twice. Nerfi draws his sword and approaches the man.
“My name is Nerfi, the palace blacksmith. ”
“Oh, hello. ”
‘... huh? ’
Nerfi listens to the man and tilts his head. He said he was the leader of the forge, but the nobleman didn't have to honor himself.
‘Feels good. ’
Of course, it felt good to hear the zone. Nerfi opens his mouth with a smile.
“Can you tell me what you're here for? ”
The man smiles at Nerphy.
“I want to work here. ”
“... ”
Nerfi hears the man's words, and he cannot say a word.
‘What nonsense... A nobleman working in a forge. ’
From Nerphy's point of view, the man's words were literally nonsense. The fact that nobles work like blacksmiths in the forge was something that couldn't happen in a dream, literally couldn't happen, and couldn't happen.
‘What could they possibly be building? Did you just say bypass what you wanted me to do? ’
Suddenly, Nerfi looks at the man. Somehow I felt like I was right. Otherwise, there was no reason to tell me that the nobles were working in the forge.
But not right now.
Once upon a time, I couldn't make armor for a man anymore. He too must now be devoted to producing armor to supply the frontier due to the imperial decree. Nerfi looks at the man quite seriously.
“I'm afraid I can't. ”
The man didn't say anything. The man was expressing a lot of embarrassment. Nerfi is slightly nervous by the look on the man's face.
“I can do it really well. ”
Nevertheless, Nerphy was embarrassed by what the man soon said. The man kept saying nonsense. I didn't think I'd go out if I didn't comply.
‘There's nothing I can do. Whew.’
After much thought, Nerfi sighs and looks at the man.
“Bring me the ingredients and I'll make them... but just this once. ”
Nerphy thinks the man will leave the forge now, saying he knows. However, unlike Nerphy, the man looks embarrassed and looks at Nerphy.
“I want to work here, not on a production quest. ”
"What the..."
Even though Nerphy said he would make it, when the man showed up like this, I couldn't understand what the man wanted. Nerphy looks embarrassed and tells the man.
“We can't afford to do this here... if we see nobles like you working here...”
“Nobles?”
The man stops speaking to Nerfi and greets him. Nerphy senses something strange about the man's words and reactions.
‘Wait... Are you really a nobleman? ’
Thinking about it, he thought it would be noble because of the clothes and feelings worn. It was not that the man said he was noble. Moreover, after seeing the tone and reaction until now, I thought that I might not be a nobleman. Nerphy cautiously opens his mouth to the man.
“Aren't you a nobleman? ”
“Yes.”
Nerfi closes his eyes and frowns at the man's concise answer. I was furious when I thought of the stress and drowsiness I had received on my own. Nevertheless, Nerphy, who could not be angry with a man because he had done nothing wrong, swallowed his anger into his heart.
“If you let me, I'll work hard. ”
Nerfi opens his closed eyes and looks at the man in his voice.
‘I... don't think I have the strength. ’
A blacksmith is a hard job. However, the man did not look so strong. I didn't think the blacksmith could do a good job.
‘But you can still do some work. ’
One hand was a waste of time.
“You want to work here? ”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever worked in a forge? ”
“Yes, I know how to make swords and armor. ”
"Hoho?"
Nerfi smiles slightly at the unexpected answer.
“What's your name? ”
“Good luck.”
* * * *
[You've been hired as an Imperial Forge.]
‘... is this the end? ’
The reason I knew something difficult was waiting for me was that I had to be a little embarrassed by the job of an imperial forge that was so simple.
‘What.’
Tilto said it had to be a very difficult place to get in. Of course, it cost a lot of money to get through the Imperial entrance, but getting a job at the forge was very easy. Something was a little empty when I got a job so easily.
‘Whew, the important thing is to ruin the Emperor's gold. ’
Myung Hu cleared the void, reminiscing about the purpose of coming here. Then I took another look inside the forge. You do not see the golden hammer.
‘Well, even if it's a symbol, I wouldn't leave it here. ’
The symbol of the palace blacksmiths will not be hung in the forge. Myeonghu looked at Nerphy and said, "I can find a car."
“What can I do? ”
“Well, you know how to make swords and armor, right? ”
“Yes.”
“Well...”
Nerfi blurs his words, thinking about it, and opens his mouth.
“First, make me a sword, armor, and shield. ”
Nerfi's Test
Nerphy wants to know what level of skill you have. Make 1 Iron Sword, Iron Armor, and Steel Shield and bring it to Nerphy for validation!
[Iron Sword: 0/1]
[Armor: 0/1]
[Steel Shield: 0/1]
Difficulty: E
Quest Reward: Nerfi's Recognition [F-S]
“Yes”
[You have accepted the quest.]
“The materials are over there. ”
After accepting the quest, Nerfi points to one side. Myeonghu looks at where Nerphy is pointing. It was stacked with armor materials like steel, bronze, etc.
“Make it there for now. ”
At Nerfi's words, Myeonghu turns his head again to look where Nerfi is pointing. It was the farthest place from where the ingredients were.
“Then make it and bring it. ”
“I understand.”
Afternoon walked to the place where the ingredients were stacked and collected them. Then he walks to his temporary position and puts the materials up.
After deciding to make an iron sword, click on the iron sword in the Crafting window and press Craft. Then the materials appeared on the work surface.
Swook
He grabbed the hammer. Soon after, he slapped down a piece of iron that had been climbed onto the work bench as if it had been sparkling and waiting.
Boom!
[You have successfully crafted an Iron Sword.]
After hearing the message, you put the hammer down and put the iron sword on the work surface aside. Then I met the blacksmith next to me.
“... ”
The blacksmith stares at the manifesto with a stupefied expression. Myeonghu smiles at the blacksmith looking at him and turns his head and clicks on his armor again to craft.
Boom!
[You have successfully crafted Armor.]
After making the iron armor and even the steel shield, he approached Nerfi with his sword, armor and shield.
It was just then.
Boom, boom! Boom!
There's a massive series of violent sounds coming from the outside.
“W-what? ”
“...? ”
The blacksmiths stopped everything they were doing and looked at the direction of the explosion. It was the same after clarification.
Boom, boom! Boom!
The thunderclap continues. But this time, it wasn't just the boom.
- Ugh...
- Ugh.
Screaming, human screaming is clear.
