The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The Last Knight (1)
The Last Knight (1)
Hyeon-su returned to the hospital in Jin-seop’s car.
After making a cast of his right arm for the protective glove production, he sat face to face with Jin-seop.
“The protective glove will cost about 100 million won.”
It was an amount expensive enough to surprise Hyeon-su.
“Although the right hand only plays a supporting role, support is also important. It’s because it’s a glove that’s as thin as possible while absorbing shock. It will be custom-made in America.”
Jin-seop stated what he considered the key point.
“The force that the left hand can exert compared to the past right hand is estimated to be about 50%. It’s slow, but we’ll continue to improve it so you can get used to it. We’ll also do rehabilitation for the right hand to make daily life more perfect.”
There was other important content as well.
“How much would that treatment method waiting for FDA approval cost?”
Hyeon-su had recently heard that this treatment method could become available.
‘You must have had no choice.’
Hyeon-su was already struggling with hospital bills.
In that situation, he probably couldn’t present another treatment method and hospital costs.
“In this medical field, treatment methods that first come out are bound to be very expensive. That treatment method involves injecting shots to revive paralyzed nerves and slowly recover damaged muscles, as I understand it. You should think about 100 million won per injection.”
Even Jin-seop, who said this, thought it was too excessive.
But Hyeon-su spoke with a strong voice.
“I’ll take it.”
Jin-seop was a little surprised.
‘You’ve changed a lot.’
Jin-seop remembered Hyeon-su’s appearance of being flustered at the desk upon hearing about medication costs of tens of thousands of won.
Every time he came to the hospital, he was dejected.
But now it was different.
He showed confidence that he could solve hospital bills with his own ability anytime, and his expression of certainty exuded an indescribable aura.
“See you next time.”
Hyeon-su headed straight home.
On his way back, he explained what had happened to the people in the Gwangmyeong Guild group chat who would have been worried.
[Kang Hyeon-su: Sorry for making you worry.]
[Kim Hye-in: It’s okay, I’m glad everything worked out well.]
[Kang Hyeok-su: That can happen^^ Congratulations.]
Hyeon-su, receiving everyone’s congratulations, smiled slightly.
Before he knew it, he had returned home and stood in front of the capsule, organizing his thoughts.
Actually, when Hyeon-su learned that Barad considered him as his successor, he was puzzled.
He wondered if Barad was overestimating him too much.
But after visiting the Araham territory, he gained one certainty.
‘I have the right to stand in a higher place.’
He had been weak.
But not anymore.
Although it was a small elite group, Guild Gwangmyeong was also gradually establishing its position.
And the vastness of the Hwarang Guild that he had heard about through Nel not long ago.
He thought he could sufficiently catch up to them.
What was needed for that?
‘Higher titles and territory.’
Hyeon-su still hadn’t forgotten what Nel had said about users being able to obtain territory and rise to lordship.
To continue advancing, he needed higher titles and territory.
For that, his own activities in the Goyard Kingdom were also necessary.
But he thought it was a problem to be solved gradually.
First, Hyeon-su entered the capsule.
[Connecting to Ares.]
And upon connecting, Hyeon-su made a puzzled expression.
It was because Knight Luke, whom he had brought, was restless.
“You’ve arrived.”
“What’s the matter?”
At Hyeon-su’s words, Luke handed him a letter.
It was a letter sent by Marquis Rookburg.
Hyeon-su read through the letter that he had urgently sent, having parted with him just a few days ago in the game.
He had an intuition.
‘This is it.’
Hyeon-su judged that he needed to make a great contribution for the country.
He thought this matter would be perfect.
However, the more he read the contents written in the letter, the colder Hyeon-su’s heart became.
“This kind of thing is happening at the border right now?”
“That’s correct.”
“Send a letter to Marquis Rookburg, saying I’ll comply with that request.”
“Yes!”
Hyeon-su began preparing to depart for the border.
***
Swoosh—!
With a rough sound of cutting through air, a Goyard Kingdom knight fell without lasting even a minute.
“Nothing special!”
Looking at the Fraham Kingdom’s camp and laughing confidently, Changcheon smiled slightly as he watched Prak.
“Waaaaaaah!”
At their army’s victory, the Fraham Kingdom soldiers cheered hotly.
Conversely, the Goyard Kingdom side, having lost three times in a row, seemed to have greatly lowered morale.
The nerve war between Fraham Kingdom and Goyard Kingdom at the border was quite a frequent occurrence.
However, both countries didn’t want war and would fight very small wars.
This small war that had continued for seven years.
Each country would select knights who had been baronets for less than a year, five from each side to compete.
This proceeded in tournament style.
‘I’ve been waiting for today, Barad.’
3 : 3.
For six years, the two countries had engaged in similar power struggles.
And for today, the seventh year, Changcheon had made many preparations.
The one who entered the battle from their side is none other than Prak, the successor of Changcheon.
In other words, he is a disciple raised by Changcheon.
Rumors are rampant that Changcheon’s successor has already risen to a much higher rank.
This rumor was spread by Changcheon Ben himself.
Moreover, the Fraham Kingdom is also called the nation of blacksmiths.
A place filled with countless mines and blacksmithing materials!
Also, just as many Outsider guilds were in the Fraham Kingdom, and they had equipped Changcheon’s successor with artifacts closest to legendary grade.
Of course, the Goyard Kingdom side had also sent out one of the kingdom’s five talents as their first knight.
However, he was defeated so futilely and lost three times in a row.
“Insolent bastard.”
He glared at Barad sitting not far away.
Peace?
He wanted it too.
However, who holds the initiative in that process is important.
But what they offered in that process was just one blacksmith?
Of course, he also liked artifacts.
If Changcheon and Barad fought right now, Barad would currently win.
Why? Because of that sword Hyeon crafted for him.
However, artifacts have what are called masterpieces, and that was likely Hyeon’s masterpiece.
Just then.
Boooooooo-
The second thing Changcheon had prepared all this time.
Hearing that horn sound, Changcheon felt ecstatic.
It was the sound of nobles summoned by Changcheon arriving with their soldiers.
Originally, both camps don’t bring that many soldiers.
Because this is just a place for psychological warfare.
And the owners of these horns also only bring about 100 to 300 soldiers.
However, numbers aren’t what’s important.
They are appearing while raising flags bearing the emblems symbolizing certain noble families of the Fraham Kingdom.
He was showing Barad.
‘The Goyard Kingdom can no longer gather strength.’
Would the demoted kingdom’s top nobles lend him their strength?
Of course, as he had discussed with his confidant, the relationship between Barad and Lookburg could be connected by even a small link.
The problem was that such a link wouldn’t exist.
Boooooooo-
Another horn sound heard from a distant place.
And Ben took in the sight of Barad sitting in his chair.
Barad.
He simply closed his eyes with a sighing expression.
His right hand on the chair’s armrest could be seen clenching tightly.
‘Today, I hold the initiative.’
In other words, this was a hint that Changcheon could start a war at any time.
Just then.
Booooooooo-
Another sound was heard.
But those footsteps were unusual.
His confidant spoke with an excited expression.
“Your Majesty, it seems massive armies are coming.”
“Is it Marquis Ruward?”
Ruward, the top noble of the Fraham Kingdom. He was a man who had countless nobles under his command.
“It appears so. He seems to want to greatly boost Your Majesty’s spirits today.”
“…I told him to send only minimal forces.”
Saying this, Changcheon smiled.
As if the heart of a retainer thinking of his king wasn’t bad.
Then another horn sound echoed.
Boooooooo-
Hearing it, Changcheon soon wore a puzzled expression.
Neighhhhhh-
Beyond the horizon.
His sharp senses heard the cry of just one horse.
Soon, a single man on horseback appeared on that horizon.
‘Who is that fellow?’
He wore a puzzled expression.
He was presumed to be from the Goyard Kingdom.
Running at full speed, his brown coat was impressive.
Fluttering his coat as he rapidly approached, he was soon arriving at the Goyard Kingdom’s camp.
***
Barad, sitting in his chair, had closed his eyes.
Craaack-
“The fourth knight is finished too, now I just need to catch the last knight!”
The voice of Prak, Changcheon’s successor, seemed to mock him.
The enemy’s morale rising higher and higher, and his own army’s morale breaking more and more.
Booooooooo-
The nobles of the Fraham Kingdom appearing with the horn sounds.
All of them had come here to protect Changcheon.
‘I did what I had to do.’
Barad had to protect the throne.
That’s why he struck down Lookburg and the nobles.
The countless people who had followed him were now pouring jeers at Barad.
‘Even so, it’s clearly my fault.’
Failing to unite them, ultimately causing everyone to scatter.
If that wasn’t my fault, then whose fault would it be?
Booooooooo-
Once again, nobles from the Fraham Kingdom had arrived.
Shouting the names of those nobles, the Fraham Kingdom camp’s morale rose even higher.
Finally, Barad slowly shut off his hearing.
He couldn’t hear anything.
Silent tranquility.
In that silence, he organized his thoughts.
Both nations wanted peace.
And the initiative.
He had to hand that initiative over to the Fraham Kingdom.
How?
Barad had to go first, show small courtesies, and talk about peace.
It would be recorded in history.
But it was something Barad had to do.
Then he suddenly thought.
‘In the end, I’m alone.’
Fifteen years ago, he had his child and wife, Marquis Lookburg and the nobles.
But in the end, he had become alone like this.
Then.
“Y… our.”
An indistinct rumbling sound could be heard.
Barad, who had closed his hearing and finished organizing his thoughts, slowly awakened from that darkness.
“Your Majesty.”
It was a familiar voice.
Finally, his closed hearing and all his senses simultaneously awakened with a sharp crack.
At that moment.
“Waaaaaaaah!”
“Long live His Majesty Barad!”
Unknown sounds could be heard.
Large armies that had appeared from a total of eight locations.
Those he had thought were nobles of the Fraham Kingdom.
They were all wearing armor symbolizing the Goyard Kingdom and holding flags representing the greatest nobles of each kingdom.
And in front of them, the kingdom’s greatest nobles could be seen mounted on horses.
The kingdom nobles with Lookburg at the very front!
Marquis Lookburg drew a small smile and slowly nodded his head.
Barad looked around his surroundings.
The Goyard Kingdom army that filled the horizon.
Those who had surrounded the Fraham Kingdom army as if to encircle them.
Barad did not know the reason why those who had been demoted came to this place.
Then he discovered Hyeon-su standing in front of him.
With a small nod, he spoke with his youthful smile.
“I’ll go.”
Barad’s chest grew warm.
Hyeon-su walked forward after giving a small nod, letting his sword hang loose.
Flutter—
His destination as he continued walking, the hem of his coat fluttering.
He stood before the Descendant of Changcheon and spoke.
“The last knight. Quasi-Baron Hyeon-su.”
