Only I Have Two Towers Episode 225

Happy Blacksmith

“Thank you for opening the armory for me. It was very helpful.”

Jinhyeok bowed politely to Johan after coming out of the armory.

Johan’s face was dark as he looked at Jinhyeok.

Jinhyeok had only stayed in the armory for about 10 minutes.

How unsatisfactory were the weapons that he came out so quickly?

Johan let out a sigh.

“I didn’t consider the hero’s standards and got ahead of myself. I’m ashamed.”

“Huh? No! I liked everything!”

Johan smiled sadly at Jinhyeok’s double thumbs up.

Though they hadn’t known each other long, he was truly a warm person.

‘Now I understand, Father.’

The late king had once said.

A true hero is not completed by force alone.

Unwavering justice and an upright character that embraces others.

Only when all these things are possessed does one earn the right to be called a hero.

In Johan’s eyes, Jinhyeok before him was exactly that.

Only 10 minutes.

A time that obviously couldn’t have been helpful at all.

Yet he gave such an answer out of consideration for Johan.

“Then I’ll go out and look around the castle structure.”

Jinhyeok bowed once more and left the armory.

Johan’s gaze lingered on Jinhyeok’s empty hands.

Regardless of his consideration, the heartache was unavoidable.

“Sigh. These were works of renowned craftsmen.”

“Please don’t be too disheartened, Your Majesty. He’s a Dragon Slayer after all. It’s natural for him to have standards beyond ordinary imagination. It’s difficult to catch the eye of such a being.”

“You’re right, Roberto. I just wanted to help, even a little, and my heart got too big.”

Johan walked into the armory.

Next time, he hoped there would be at least one weapon that caught the hero’s eye… Huh?

Shortly after entering the armory.

King Johan rubbed his eyes.

Was he lacking sleep due to Mortarion’s invasion?

He was seeing things.

“Roberto.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Come here for a moment.”

“Yes.”

Roberto carefully approached his side.

There was no need to ask why.

Following Johan, Roberto’s mouth fell wide open like a stone statue.

The armory was completely empty except for arrows and javelins.

-I liked everything!

Jinhyeok’s words before leaving echoed in Johan and Roberto’s heads.

It wasn’t something said out of consideration.

He really did like them.

Every single one without exception!

“Haha…”

Johan let out a laugh.

He never would have dreamed.

That a day would come when he’d feel relieved seeing an empty armory.

“Thank goodness. Thank goodness.”

While King Johan of Saintland was genuinely rejoicing, on the walls of Solarium Capital.

Jinhyeok climbed up and smiled brightly.

Thanks to the benevolent King Johan, his bag had become quite heavy.

“The sky is so beautiful!”

I wasn’t the only one happy about the tremendous harvest.

The greedy collector Mohwang was also grinning widely with his chubby face cupped in both hands.

He was even calling the pitch-black sky, darkened by Mortarion’s influence, beautiful.

He must be in that good of a mood, right?

I looked down and stared at the top of Mohwang’s head.

‘Mohwang really is a god.’

The Tower of Despair had a rule that items could only be obtained as monster drops.

A collector who easily trampled on such rules.

Even thinking about it again, it was an overpowered ability.

“Let’s go, Mohwang. Konu, we’re leaving!”

“What’s with calling me Mohwang!!”

Instead of answering, I tucked Momo and Kancheo under my arms.

68 hours until reaching Mortarion, the Necromancer of the Century.

It had been a fruitful four hours.

[Exiting the Tower of Despair unique floor ‘The Final Siege of Saintland’!]

Ihwa’s makeshift forge set up on the 1st floor of the Tower of Despair.

‘This… doesn’t make sense.’

Ihwa stopped hammering and wiped away the pouring sweat.

It had been about ten hours since she started working.

Normally, she should have collapsed from exhaustion by this time.

But now she was perfectly fine.

The Romanak flint that Jinhyeok had given her plenty of during the day.

The flames lit with those stones were truly incredible.

[Flint forged for a thousand years! The flame’s effect greatly reduces the user’s fatigue!]

[Production class stamina and strength stats increase!]

[Work item durability permanently increases!]

[The power of flames dwells in the item! Gains permanent weight reduction effect!]

Message windows that kept accumulating while hammering.

All Ihwa had done was hammer as usual.

Yet such various effects were granted.

‘The speed of level and proficiency increases is insane too.’

Even though it was an effect from the flint, it was recognized as the blacksmith’s capability.

It was a level of benefit that made her wonder if this was okay.

Growl.

She wanted to keep hammering all night.

But now she was really about to starve to death.

Let’s go eat.

[Exiting the 1st floor of the Tower of Despair!]

It was already past midnight, entering dawn.

She carefully opened the door so as not to wake others.

“Hyeeeek!!!”

And covered her mouth.

She almost screamed loud enough to wake all of Guwunri.

In the pitch-black darkness.

Something is sprawled out on the yard veranda.

I took out a hammer from my inventory and approached.

“Haaah!”

Ihwa let out a sigh of relief after confirming it was a familiar face.

I almost had a heart attack.

No, this person definitely went to Seoul during the day, so why is he sleeping here…

“Geez!”

Startled, Ihwa stumbled backward.

When did he wake up?

Jinhyeok’s eyes were wide open and alert.

“Ihwa. Even so, cursing like that…”

“What are you talking about? I didn’t add the ‘damn’ at the end.”

Ihwa patted her chest and sat down on the veranda.

“Were you waiting this whole time?”

“I just got here not long ago. When you didn’t come out, I was taking a nap.”

He got up drowsily and pressed down his disheveled hair.

“Question.”

“So suddenly?!”

“While looking around Tower Site, I saw there’s something called enhancement for production skills. You feed similar grade items to level up, right?”

“Yeah. But it doesn’t happen instantly like in games. For blacksmiths, you need to break down or melt them and combine them with the target weapon.”

Ihwa shrugged her shoulders.

“It’s not really a commonly used skill anyway. Weapons worth enhancing are usually expensive. Rather than buying similar equipment to enhance, it’s more common to level up more or save more money to buy higher grade equipment.”

“I see. It would be a good choice if you had an abundance of similar items.”

“Right. But that won’t happen, will it? It’s an era where equipment is ridiculously scarce compared to overflowing money.”

“Come this way for a moment.”

Ihwa tilted her head while following along.

It hadn’t even been a day since the Auction House truck had come by.

The warehouse we’re heading to should be completely empty, so why…?

Creak… thud.

The reason became clear immediately.

Her mouth fell open as soon as the door opened.

Even Ihwa, who was usually bold, couldn’t help but rub her eyes.

The warehouse wasn’t empty.

Rather, it was completely full.

Packed full with equipment that held a subtle golden glow.

“W-wait a minute.”

Ihwa walked over in a daze and examined the weapons.

Then she looked back at Jinhyeok with an incredulous expression.

“These… are all holy-type weapons?”

While not as much as dark-type, holy-type equipment was also precious.

Popular equipment that sold out the moment it appeared at auction due to supply being ridiculously insufficient compared to demand.

But what on earth was this?

This ridiculous quantity.

She quickly closed her gaping mouth.

She almost started drooling.

Working with attribute equipment gives incomparable additional experience and proficiency compared to regular equipment.

Moreover, the items before her eyes were also high level.

How could she not covet them as a blacksmith?

Even a chaebol with money rotting away couldn’t set up an environment like this.

Jinhyeok approached her side.

“I was hoping you could make some more weapons. And enhance the gun I asked for during the day too. What I need is…”

He showed Ihwa several images.

Swords, guns, chains, knuckles – they were all weapons.

“Don’t you need armor?”

“No. Focus everything on attack power enhancement.”

Ihwa pointed at the warehouse.

“Using what’s here…?”

“Yeah, use all of it.”

“I can use all of it? Really?!”

“Of course. That’s why I brought it. But sorry about this. I already asked during the day and now it hasn’t even been a day…”

Grab!

Ihwa seized Jinhyeok’s hand, her eyes sparkling fiercely.

“Oppa. I’ll worship you as a god.”

“Suddenly a god?”

“Oppa, you’re just a god incarnate. Thank you so much.”

Ihwa had a long career as a leader despite her age.

Even so, she could hardly imagine it.

Just how great an achievement she would gain from these equipment pieces.

“I’ll go eat and come back! I need to enter the Tower quickly! I’ll contact you as soon as it’s finished!”

I waved at Ihwa as she rushed away.

She seems very eager.

I scratched my head and left the warehouse.

I was going to give her some payment, but there wasn’t even time for that.

I’ll buy her something delicious later.

“Is the gun finished?!”

“Not yet. But it’ll be ready soon.”

“I hope it’s ready quickly!”

“Me too.”

The trait Kancheo gained when promoted to Epic: Clay Rides the Wind.

Since the power increases proportionally to the speed at which clay flies, there are limits with a gas gun.

“You’ll need a lot of bullets too, right?”

“That’s right! Can’t make bullets with clay! Need to put clay filling into existing bullets!”

“Okay. There are plenty of places to get bullets. I’ll get you a mountain of them.”

“Awesome!”

I walked toward the Sinjang Tree with the excited Kancheo.

The teleportation frog created by Ellia, the Star Alchemist.

I feel it again, but it’s truly an amazing invention.

Thanks to Drakkan’s eyeball, all the constraints the existing frog had are gone.

Now it’s possible to move anywhere, anytime, at any desired moment.

“Captain. There’s Torongja.”

“Where?”

I turned my head toward where Kancheo was pointing.

His level must have gone up since he’s wielding larger farming tools than before.

“Is he eating properly?”

“I left something delicious for him, so you don’t need to worry.”

“Oh? You take good care of Torongja.”

“That’s right. I put it where I dug up sweet potatoes, so he should have found it by now.”

I swallowed dryly.

Rather than taking good care of him, it feels more like he just paid for the sweet potatoes.

“Master.”

As soon as he manifested, Renia extended the Yodel Compass and Ranjets’ arm.

Though it had been frozen, it still wasn’t a pleasant sight to behold.

“The numbers have stopped.”

“Oh?”

Forgetting how disgusting it was, I took the arm and compass.

Ranjets, who had been thoroughly beaten at Namsan Tower and fled.

He had been moving constantly without rest every single day.

Seeing that he had completely stopped, it seemed his journey had finally come to an end.

I stretched with a big yawn and entered through the frog’s mouth.

My friends had already gathered early in the room for tower climbing.

“Shall we get going? It looks like our Ranjetz Steed has arrived safely.”

It was time to sever it.

The long-standing bitter relationship with Demon Renyah.
