Chapter 171: Chapter 171 - Set (5)
Chapter 171: Set (5)
Han-ryeong sighed like he agreed .
[… . . it’s at least a masterpiece . ]
Under normal circumstances it wouldn’t have been completed even in half a year . Had Henova pulled all-nighters making this?
[Those crazy bastards, though . They offered what? 60,000? Are they blind, or are they trying to rip him off? That’s what they’re living in the outer sections of the Tower!]
Shanon looked like he was ready to leave any moment . Because he quickly blocked him so he couldn’t move, but a murderous intent flowed from his shadow .
The players all turned pale . Some even wet themselves and plopped themselves . Some even quickly ran away so Yeon-woo couldn’t see them .
Yeon-woo stood there for a while like that .
Then Han-ryeong spoke in a trembling voice .
[Sir… . . ]
‘What?’
[Is it possible for you to… . . check mine?]
He wanted to quickly see his swords as well .
Yeon-woo bitterly smiled and put the sword breaker and the other swords into Intrenian .
Two shadows stretched out and entered the subspace .
They would probably be busy for a while .
Yeon-woo shook his head and opened the door to the smithy .
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Henova was hammering some metal down in front of the fire .
“Fuck! Why are you here?”
“I brought items for 10,000,000 . I think you’re being too rude to your customer . ”
“This bastard again… . . ?”
Henova really felt like he would throw the hammer in his hand away .
Yeon-woo grimaced and smiled . He had subconsciously teased him . It was like a passive skill now .
He dipped his head .
“Sorry . ”
Henova’s hand stopped midair while trying to throw the hammer . His forehead was wrinkled .
“What?”
“Sorry for not delivering news about me . I could’ve let you know that I was gonna be late, but it was my mistake . ”
It was hard for Henova to throw the hammer since this was how Yeon-woo was coming out . He put down the hammer and put his pipe in his mouth .
While he inhaled the smoke, it was silent .
“I . ”
It was Henova who broke the silence .
“No longer want to lose anyone . ”
“I don’t want to be bothered by those things, and have to go through that again . ”
Yeon-woo shut his mouth .
“Just keep that in mind . ”
He returned to his hammer .
Yeon-woo silently looked at him and went to stand next to him in front of the fire .
He picked up a hammer as well .
Some time later, the sound of the two clanging metal together could be heard from the smithy .
Yeon-woo pulled out his Carshina’s Dagger .
It was a short sword that he had used well since his newbie days in the Tutorial .
If it didn’t have the option of ‘User’s Will’ he would’ve thrown it away already .
It was only a D+, and the blade was extremely dull from the use .
But he was used to it, so he tried to fix it and use it . However, it was now hard to do anything more with it now, perhaps because his training on the 20th floor had been too intense .
Normally, Yeon-woo would have thrown it away without any hesitation . He had plenty of other swords inside Intrenian, and he could probably make a better sword than this .
But he wasn’t able to throw away Carshina’s Dagger .
Probably because he still had lingering feelings for it . He had gotten fond of it . This was probably because it was a sword he had used from the Tutorial .
So Yeon-woo was determined to try to fix the dagger even if it would take some work .
He even had good materials now, especially the Tail Snake’s shedding .
It was tough and study, and it had the property of poison immunity .
He thought it would go nicely with Carshina’s Dagger for some reason .
[Draconic Eyes]
He opened his new eyes and observed the flaws along the dagger .
Then, he separated the blade from the handle and adjusted the blade on the table with the tool . When it was tightly in place, he brought down the hammer powerfully .
After repeating the hammering several times, the blade was divided into 5 pieces . He put them each into the fire and watched them redden with heat .
He silently watched the process and then pulled out the shedding from his bag, shaking it lightly so it would become more neat and tough .
Yeon-woo continued pulling out things from Intrenian . There were minerals he had received as hidden pieces, and of them, there were the few Orichhalcons he managed to get .
Orichhalcon was extremely tough, so it was traded expensively .
He halved it and put it into the fire .
Then he waited for it to melt .
Orichhalcon didn’t melt easily, so he didn’t forget to input his Holy Fire into the fire as well .
With this, Henova, who was trying to ignore Yeon-woo, couldn’t focus on what he was doing and observed Yeon-woo .
He was just upset at Yeon-woo, not too mad . And when Yeon-woo had apologized, he was feeling better now .
He couldn’t find the opportunity to speak to Yeon-woo because of his pride .
But when Yeon-woo started getting those materials out, his gaze immediately focused on them .
He was curious about how Yeon-woo had gotten them, as he was also worried as well .
Yeon-woo slightly smiled seeing Henova peek at him . He could just ask if he was curious . He really was a prideful person .
And that was probably why he was so easily teased .
Since Yeon-woo had been the one to make the mistake, he decided to lower himself .

“Uh, Henova . ”
“Hmph! What?”
Henova quickly whipped his head around, pretending like he wasn’t watching, and snorted . But Yeon-woo didn’t miss how his ears twitched .
Yeon-woo barely pushed down the laughter coming up and spoke .
“I want to make a dagger . Could I ask for some help?”
“How can someone who learned metallurgy from me not be able to make something as simple as this?”
“It’s because I lack the skills . I can fix things or make simple items, but creating something is completely new territory . ”
Yeon-woo put some emphasis on his words .
“But aren’t you my metallurgy teacher? And you’re an artisan as well . Of course I need your help . ”
Twitch twitch . Henova’s ear continued to move up and down . His ear was slightly red . It seemed he was embarrassed .
Like it was nice for him to hear the words ‘teacher’ and ‘artisan,’ he lightly coughed .
“Ahem! Well, if you say so . Fine . So what are you curious about?”
“Actually, I got some good materials this time . ”
“Hm? Materials?”
Yeon-woo realized that Henova was starting to move closer to him and began to prepare the bait .
“Would you like to see?”
“Pull it out . ”
Yeon-woo pulled out the shell pieces and the Void Dragon’s abyss, along with some minerals .
Momentarily, Henova’s gaze changed .
“You, is this… . . ?”
“This is what I got as a reward from the Abyss Turtle and Void Dragon . And these minerals are… . . ”
Henova had heard roughly about what Yeon-woo went through on the 11th floor from Edora and Phante .
But his eyes were widened because he didn’t expect this to happen .
Minerals like Orichhalcons weren’t actually that hard to come by . They might be expensive, but he could get if if he needed to .
But shell pieces and void were different . These were priceless .
Because they were things that you couldn’t get unless you killed Legendary Beasts .
But Yeon-woo nonchalantly put them in front of him . Of course, Henova would be flipped out by something like this . He could feel the artisan’s passion in him burning up . His fingers were itchy .
“Ahem! What…what are you going to do with these?”
Henova tried to hide his excitement and asked in the most serious voice he could muster . But he couldn’t help how his voice trembled a bit .
Yeon-woo lightly grinned seeing that Henova had taken the bait . He was thankful he was wearing a mask at times like this .
“I want to re-equip my overall equipment . ”
Henova’s gaze sunk .
“Re-equipment, you say . ”
“Yes . It’s been a while, and I’ve changed a lot as well . ”
“I guess . It is time to re-equip . ”
It had been a long time since Yeon-woo first got his equipment when he entered the Tower .

Even if you took care of your equipment, it would become ruined, and as a player’s fighting style changed, their equipment needed to change as well .
So players usually re-quipped their equipment every 5 floors on average .
They got rid of equipment they didn’t need and found new options that their property and abilities fit the best .
Since Yeon-woo hadn’t re-equipped once, he was a bit late now .
Of course, Yeon-woo’s equipment was much better than what players on the lower floors had .
Vigrid, Aegis, and the Despair of the Black King . Gyes’s Eyes and the Magic Bayonet also went along well with his skills as well .
The Carshina’s Dagger and Goblin King’s eye from the Tutorial were a bit old now, but Yeon-woo still used them well .
‘Since my battle methods are pretty varied . Although I intended to make my skill tree go this way . ’
This was what Yeon-woo had intended from the beginning .
Yeon-woo had planned on awakening his Dragon Body anyway, so he had tried to grow his strength with that in mind . He focused on his dexterity, movement, and senses .
Because he had trained in the military in Africa, he knew how to judge himself rationally .
And the Despair of the Black King had just landed in his lap .
Also, Yeon-woo was strong because he didn’t focus on his magic artifacts and tried to train himself instead .
But now, he was feeling the need to switch it up .
When he learned Aura on the 20th floor, his body had gone through immense growth .
He needed something to support it . He felt like his body needed something else . .
He also wanted to have it done before he challenged the 21st floor, but the desire to change himself was the greatest .
“… . . that’s how it happened . ”
Yeon-woo explained what happened to him to Henova .
Honova would probably be able to tell him the answer .
“Hm . ”
Yeon-woo waited for Henova to finish organizing his thoughts . And after a few hours passed, Henova slowly lifted his pipe from his mouth .
“So you’re saying since you have a lot of money, you change to change everything about you, is that right?”
“Yes . ”
“And to want to be involved in some of it?”
“I know it’s greedy, but I think that what I make for myself will be best for me . ”
Henova burst out laughing .
“That’s a good idea . An item has to fit with their owner . ”
Yeon-woo didn’t just bring up fixing Carshina’s dagger to turn Henova’s mind around .
He also had the desire to make an artifact for himself .
Since this was one of the wishes of a player who learned metallurgy .
Also, to learn mechanical magic, he would have to train his metallurgy as well .
“That’s why you gave me that much money . ”
Henova looked at Yeon-woo like he was dumbfounded .
“I can’t say that it’s not . ”
“You damned… . . ”

Henova cursed at what Yeon-woo said, but he lightly smiled .
He knew that if Yeon-woo said that, it meant he trusted him . Henova didn’t feel bad at all .
Then he narrowed his eyes .
“Anyways, you leave changing everything to me?”
“Yes . ”
“Are you saying that knowing what you’re saying?”
“Yes . I know . ”
Yeon-woo heavily nodded his head .
Henova shook his head .
“No . You don’t know . How important this is . ”
Making new equipment that fit a player . It might seem simple, but actually, it was outright outrageous .
It meant that a player was revealing everything about himself .
Attributes, stats, properties, skill tree, physique, level of magic power, and future growth… . .
It meant that you were showing your weaknesses to the artisan you chose .
If the artisan you chose decided to turn against you, or if the information was leaked, you were done for .
Henova was talking about that .
The being receiving the most attention in the Tower right now was Yeon-woo . After he reached the 50th floor, he would get more attention, but most people knew his name .
But the information known about him was comparatively little .
It was only known that he was skilled in martial arts and facts about his skill tree weren’t known .
There were a lot of places that asked for information about Yeon-woo .
Henova pointed that out and wanted Yeon-woo to think about it a bit more . From what he could tell, Yeon-woo didn’t know how much attention he was receiving as a rookie .
But .
“No . I know well . ”
Yeon-woo spoke firmly .
And from his expression, Henova thought of someone else .
A little child who had absolute trust in him .
“… . . fine . I’ll help you . But the main is me . You assist me from the side . If you laze off, I’m gonna break your head into pieces with the hammer . ”
Under his mask, Yeon-woo laughed .
“I leave it to you . ”
And .
From that day, the fire in Henova’s smithy wasn’t extinguished .
