Ranker Who Lives Twice Chapter 65 - The Tower (6)

Chapter 65. The Tower (6)

The next morning.

When Yeon-woo arrived at Henovas smithy, he saw people fixing the shops door.

They were people from Night Watch.

When he entered through the new door, the whole smithy was furnished with brand new furniture and smithing tools.

So, do you like it?

Yeon-woo smiled and spoke to Henova while his eyes were still fixed on the players from Night Watch running busily around the shop.

Do I like what?

Your shop. It looks much better than before, doesnt it? By the way, nows your chance to thank .

Henova snorted at Yeon-woos joke with his short arm crossed.

Hmph! I know you did this to have make Gyges Eye faster. Why would I thank you when you did this for your own sake? Besides, you didnt do any work here.

But unlike his harsh words, Henovas nose and ear were slightly red. It seed he was too bashful to pay soone complints.

There was a word that refers to soone like him.

Yeon-woo recalled a word he had heard back on Earth.

Tsundere.

Hmm? what did you say?

Yeon-woo calmly shook his head. But he couldnt stop his mouth from curling up. He thought it was a relief he was wearing a mask at a ti like this.

Henova looked at Yeon-woo again with a suspicious look on his face, but Yeon-woo kept pretending as if nothing happened.

The smile on Yeon-woos mouth didnt go away for a long ti.

It was a word that matched Henova too well.

* * *

And when the repairs were finished, Yeon-woo and Henova went back to their ordinary routine.

Both of them picked up a hamr again, one to finish the artifact, and the other to practice tallurgy.

*Tang* *Tang*

Just by looking at the surface, everything that happened last night seed like a lie.

[Draconic Eyes can now reveal more flaws.]

[Draconic Eyes skill proficiency has increased. 22.9%]

From so point onwards, Yeon-woo found himself completely fascinated with tallurgy.

He cast Draconic Eyes and gazed at the scorching piece of tal.

A thinly dotted line appeared along the edge of the tal freshly taken out its mold.

The lines only visible to Yeon-woo

Flaws.

Draconic Eyes was able to peek through the true nature of things.

This was done by reestablishing the information the caster originally had, calculating the most efficient route of achieving their goal and providing visible hints of the route.

Those visible hints are the flaws.

And thanks to that, Yeon-woo was able to handle tal quite easily.

*Tang* *Tang*

The knowledge and techniques that Henova imparted to Yeon-woo were sothing worth over a thousand pieces of gold to any other blacksmith, and he was aware of this fact.

When Yeon-woo watched the way Henova handled the hamr, the bellow, and all the other tools, he could feel how much effort Henova poured into making a single piece of work.

Therefore, Yeon-woo tried to capture every single motion Henova made and morize every single word Henova said.

And his practice based on such information helped Yeon-woo step up his forging several levels.

Others might have considered it as cheating.

No wonder why the dragon race is known as the worlds wisest race.

Draconic Eyes, the eyes that seek the truth by observing all creation and acquiring all knowledge.

It was rely a small part of Draconic Eyes true power that Yeon-woo had access to. But even that was enough to induce a very fast growth.

And now, he was just a few steps away from completing the succession process.

Yeon-woo was curious as to what kind of abilities he would be able to wield once he developed a complete Dragon Body.

*Taang*

Yeon-woo hamred the tal piece he had folded several tis for the last ti.

There was a distinct wavy pattern drawn on the surface of the tal.

He then picked it up with a tong and subrged it into a container filled with cold water to finish the tempering process.

*Tsss*

A big cloud of white steam shot out from the container when the tal touched the water.

Despite the suffocating hot air, Yeon-woo tried to keep his eyes on the fuming tal.

[Your understanding of tallurgy has increased. The attained knowledge will open up several more possibilities.]

[Knowledge is a power that will broaden your horizons and enlarge the world around you. Learn and understand more knowledge and beco a seeker of truth. The dragons blessing will always be with you.

[Draconic Eyes skill proficiency has increased. 25.1%]

[Knowledge increase has been confird. The vessel has beco softer and more flexible. The halted succession process will resu. 93% 94%.]

[Current progress: 94.9%]

*Drop* *Drop*

Beads of sweat kept falling onto the floor.

This is definitely sothing that cannot be taken easy.

Yeon-woo lightly massaged his shoulders.

Learning tallurgy was not an easy task even with the help of Draconic Eyes.

Having to sit in one place hamring the tal in front of a searing forge, he felt stiff and sore all over his body.

But through this experience, Yeon-woo realized the importance of ntal training in parallel with physical training.

Though very little, the halted process was able to progress.

Thanks to that, he felt very relieved.

So, balance is what I need for progress, isnt it? Damn, I thought I was so close to finishing it, but its going to get complicated.

Yeon-woo was hit by a sudden wave of fatigue from the thought.

But as soon as he felt tired, the Magic Circuit circulated mana through his body, lting away the fatigue.

Yeon-woo was able to feel his growth in person.

If there was a barrier that was limiting him from further advancent, he felt like it had just retracted a little.

Now, lets see.

Yeon-woo stared at the tal piece he had crafted.

[An Unfinished Good tal Casting]

Estimated classification: Two-handed Weapon

Estimated rating: F

Estimated durability: 5-10

Description: A casting that has not yet been completed. It doesnt look bad for a first attempt.

It turned out okay for a first try.

Yeon-woo licked his lips in anticipation.

He then turned to Henova to talk about his work.

But when he looked at him, he was stunned for a few seconds.

[Henova the Dwarf]

CP: ??? / Personality: Shy and bashful

It was a window regarding Henovas information.

What are you looking at? Keep your head down and get to work!

Henova shouted at him when he saw Yeon-woo standing in place staring at him.

The warm look he had shown Yeon-woo for a very short ti yesterday had turned back to his normal cold look today.

Yeon-woo didnt care much because he was aware that his cold attitude was just an act to hide his shy inner character.

Im sorry.

Yeon-woo shifted his gaze back to the tal piece.

I can see peoples information now?

It was a feat he didnt expect to accomplish.

He didnt know the possibilities that the system ntioned included access to other peoples information.

The ability to view peoples information I can take this as an advantage in combat.

There was a big difference between knowing and not knowing the enemy when fighting them, even if it was just trifling information.

Although he couldnt see much about Henova, this was still going to be of great help later on. Because he had a great number of enemies he had to defeat.

A very trivial and yet so influential change.

Yeon-woo was beginning to understand the underlying chanisms behind the Draconic Eyes.

The more he learned and experienced, the better the Draconic Eyes would beco.

But what was that CP thing on the information window?

He felt curiosity about the strange concept, but he quickly dismissed the inquiry with a firm shake.

Instead, Yeon-woo quickly took out the pocket watch while Henova was looking the other way, and examined with Draconic Eyes.

However,

[Information inaccessible.]

Yeon-woo clicked his tongue lightly.

I guess its not the ti yet. Well, Ro wasnt built in a single day.

It did not disappoint Yeon-woo.

He would be able to access the information once he gained enough proficiency.

Bearing that in mind, Yeon-woo picked up the hamr again.

*Tang*

The sound rang clearer than usual.

By the way, shy and bashful Yeah, that sounds just like him.

Yeon-woo let out a chuckle as he recalled the words that the system used to describe Henova.

* * *

lightsvel Yeon-woo continued his visits to Henova and kept tornting him.

What are the standards for determining directions when welding the tal?

What do I do when the heat exceeds the appropriate temperature?

The bellows blowing force is weaker than I thought.

Why did you do that for that part?

Now that he knew more about forging, he had more questions he wanted to ask.

So whenever he had any question, he imdiately went to Henova and asked him. And because of that, Henova couldnt sit down and do his work properly when Yeon-woo was around.

Ill tell you what. Youll learn when you go practice, idiot!

Im asking these in order to practice.

Im telling you to learn by yourself!

Then teach how to learn by myself. Ill go learn by myself when you do.

Aaargh! You bastard!

Henova tried to ignore him in order to do his work, but he had to give up as Yeon-woo was so persistent in asking his questions.

He even began to suspect that Yeon-woo was trying to get revenge for all his previous nagging.bender

And after many quarrels, Yeon-woo made discernible progress.

Henova, can you take a look at this?

How many tis a day are you going to call ? Let do so work too, goddamn it! This is your order and if I cant make it in ti, its your loss, not mine!

Im done making my sword.

What?

Henova lashed out, thinking Yeon-woo had called him to bother him again. But after hearing what Yeon-woo had to say, his eyes beca round with shock.

You made a sword?

Yes.

Henova gave a loud snort.

It had been only a little over ten days since Yeon-woo started to practice forging.

Although his growth speed was sothing out of the ordinary, it was impossible for a beginner like him to create sothing within such a short amount of ti.

Hah! Youve been getting on my nerves all this ti, havent you? Now its my turn.

Henova was going to point out any slightest fault he could find to get back at him.

But Yeon-woo secretly smiled, knowing what Henova was thinking.

Then he handed over his work to Henova.

Henova received the object with a suspicious look.

It was a weapon with the shape of a sword.

[Sword of a Novice Blacksmith]

Classification: One-handed Sword

Rating: E

Description: A sword that turned out much better than the initial expectation. The blade is a little dull for a sword but has a decent durability.

The first word Henova spat out after seeing his sword was,

What the hell.

A curse word.

This cant be.

Henova muttered to himself after realizing the sword Yeon-woo had forged was sothing that could not have co out of the hands of a novice blacksmith with only ten days of experience.

He knew that his skills were growing at a rapid pace, but this was beyond his imagination.

How the hell did he do that?

When Hanova noticed that Yeon-woo was looking at him, he cleared his throat belatedly.

Well, its decent for sothing you made for the first ti But I wont call this a sword, this is still trash.

Would it kill you to say so nice words?

Shush! Its up to whether I praise you or not! Anyway, you still have to practice a lot! This is still far from good!

Then Im going to have to keep asking you.

Now, stop bothering !

No.

You little prick!

But at that mont, Yeon-woo felt sothing fiercely flying in from outside the smithy.

Before he could warn Henova, Yeon-woo grabbed him and leaped to the side.

*Kwang*

Suddenly the wall exploded, and sothing broke inside.

Soone with two huge fists, flaring eyes, and a horn to the side of his head.

It was Phante.

Is this where you ran off to, you cheater? Because of you Because of you I had to search every corner of The Tower! Do you have any idea.

But before he could finish his words, a fist ca flying in from the middle of the dust cloud and,

*Puck*

Kueeek!

Phante went flying across the room as he let out a weird scream.
