Episode 361: Pride of a famous family (2)
While the grandfather left for the drawing room again.
Yu Seol was sitting in the corner of Shakajang’s workshop, removing scales.
It was so tough that my fingers started to tingle after a while.
But if you do anything, you learn the ropes.
At so point, Yuseol began using the tools of craftsn.
The scales are separated by using specially made tongs with as many as seven layers of internal strength.
Percussion-! Percussion-!
Yu Seol passed the removed scales to the side one by one.
“How many scales do you need?”
Beside him, Seok Seok-gwang, the son of the family head, was squatting down, washing and drying the scales one by one.
“Father said we need at least three hundred and sixty.”
“Ugh. There are about half left now. Why on earth do I have to take all this off?”
It took half a day to work, but I was only halfway done.
It’s frustrating because the work speed is slow.
“The goal is to manufacture it to be light and flexible while also having the strongest protection ability. “These scales will be combined with the skin of the spirit beast called Soryong, owned by our family, using Cheonjamsa.”
“What’s next?”
“Afterwards, we connect each part and work with the spirit stone of the Kirin to bring the armor to life. “Only my father can do this.”
Yu Seol seed to be bored, so he chattered non-stop while peeling off his scales.
Percussion-! Percussion-!
“I’m curious… I want to try it on quickly.”
“It will take more than ten days at the earliest. “It may take several months.”
“That long? “I have to go fight soon.”
Isn’t the showdown with the leader approaching?
The chances of it being completed before then seed slim.
“You should ask your father for more details. By the way, Mr. Eumgoe. “Do you mind if I ask you one question?”
Even so, I had no reason to refuse since I was bored.
“Ask. “What are you curious about?”
Seok Seok-gwang asked, looking at the pink Yonghwachang set up on one side.
“Where was that window made? “With that level of quality, not just anyone can make it…”
As the eldest son of a famous armor family, he imdiately realized that the Dragon Fire Spear was an unusual weapon.
“It was made at an iron shop in Hanam. i know?”
“I expected it, but it’s still like that. Since ancient tis, there has been a saying that the best weapon master in the world is the Iron Family and the best armorer is the Stone Family. “It’s a family that stands on two walls with us.”
Yu Seol tilted his head and asked.
“is it so? “The iron head seed to have a lot of money.”
What he also ant was why Shakyamuni looked so poor.
Master Seok-gwang complained while washing his scales.
“After the war ended, demand for armor plumted, so it was a disaster. I want to make a mass-produced version and sell it, but my father keeps opposing it. “What kind of pride is that guy?”
Yu Seol nodded and said as if he sympathized.
“That’s what I think too. My grandpa says money isn’t important, but when you know it, it’s the most important thing. “Pride doesn’t feed you.”
“That’s what I ant. So, could I… Eumgoe tell the martial arts people to wear so armor? “If you wear armor, you will fight twice as well.”
It was then. I wonder if an old man with a bushy beard is running from behind, clutching a tool.
“Sakwang, you bastard! “What kind of rude joke are you making to your guests!?”
Seok Seok-gwang, startled, jumped up from his seat and ran away, shouting.
“Oh father! Aren’t we all doing this to make a living too!?”
The head of the family, Seok Mun-hyeok, ca to the spot where he fled and put his hands together.
“This is just nonsense from a crazy person, so you don’t need to worry. “That guy is still immature…”
Yu Seol chuckled as if there was nothing to worry about and focused on removing the scales.
Percussion-! Percussion-!
“But grandpa. “How much does it cost to make armor?”
This is because Shijiazhuang has not yet presented the cost.
“After the armor is completed, the custor should judge and decide the value.”
This ans that you will receive what you give.
However, his expression and tone of voice showed great pride.
“What if I give you one coin?”
Seok Mun-hyuk answered without any hesitation.
“If you think the armor is worth it, you can do so.”
“great. “Once it’s all made, I’ll judge and give it to you accordingly.”
“Please do so. But is it possible to get Cheonjamsa Temple? Because it is an expensive material that is very difficult to obtain…”
Myohwabang was a place that specialized in handling all kinds of rare items from Kangho.
If it were there, they would sohow co up with a solution.
“Don’t worry. “I’ll probably find it and co back by tonight.”
“yes. Then I will trust you and keep working.”
* * *
Starting from Seokgajang, I rode Mt. Yujin alone for half a day.
‘I can’t believe I’m running errands for my granddaughter at this age. Oh, my dear.’
Recently, I was exhausted from running around the central region non-stop.
But what can you do?
As rumored, he did not have the confidence to remove the giraffe’s scales with force.
“phew.”
Was it awkward to go in alone? Arriving at Myohwabang’s manor, he hesitated near the entrance for a mont.
‘what? ‘Why are you shaking all of a sudden?’
Moreover, for so reason, my heartbeat was getting faster.
I couldn’t figure out why.
Just go through the entrance and that’s it.
It was when I cleared my throat for a mont and caught my breath.
“Why are you standing so blankly? “If you co, don’t go in.”
It was a voice coming from behind.
The voice was as clear and refreshing as a jade bead rolling around.
Yu Jin-san looked back without thinking and was startled.
“…what about you?”
A girl who appeared to be about the sa age as my granddaughter was approaching from the flower field behind her.
But it looked very familiar to him.
Blue eyes sparkle reflecting the sunlight. And even white skin and clear facial features.
In addition, the sight of her beautiful hair blowing in the wind created the ultimate elegance.
“What are you doing there?”
Jinsan Yu couldn’t believe his eyes for a mont, but judging from his tone of voice, there was no doubt about it.
“Hey Yoran? What happened?”
“What happens? “Like my brother, I also went back to the old days.”
Is it because it reminds of a long ti ago? Jin-san Yu blushed and trailed off.
“Yes, it’s the sa as before…”
Baekyoran smiled and approached him, wrapping her arms around his right arm.
“Does this make you reminisce about the past?”
“Why is this happening, old lady? “I see the kids too.”
“Well, we’re kids too. “Let’s go in first.”
She walked towards the entrance to Myohwabang’s manor, with Yu Jin-san’s arm wrapped around her.
Soon, the two won guarding the entrance put their hands together, bowed, and hugged him.
“Are you here, Lord Ark?”
“OK. Since we have a distinguished guest, please give us two cups of tea.”
“All right.”
Jinsan Yu followed her to the office.
He felt awkward and couldn’t say anything.
After a while, we sat facing each other and quietly snapped our fingers.
As she just stared, he reluctantly opened his mouth first.
“…How do you feel about the half-half-romanization?”
“What do you think?” “I’m so tired from all the neighborhood kids chasing because they think I’m pretty.”
It wasn’t anything strange. Because it was a beauty that could not be found in people of the sa age.
Baek Yo-ran, who had undergone a complete transformation, had flawless and fair skin.
In fact, she looked even prettier than she rembered from the past.
“Tsk. The old lady is in charge. “They’re bewitching kids.”
“Are you jealous now?”
“What is jealousy….”
Baek Yo-ran sat down next to Yu Jin-san with a aningful smile on his face.
“Don’t you rember old mories from a long ti ago? “Tell what happened like before, just like before.”
“What what?”
Her red lips pressed close to Jin-san’s ear and whispered sothing.
“He said he only likes . I do not rember?”
It was a sweet whisper, but Jin-san Yu was startled and his shoulders shook.
“Why are you like this, old lady? it’s crazy?”
She giggled and went back to sit across from him.
“That’s blunt. “If I tell you once, what will happen?”
“You know very well. “I’m already married so I don’t want to have children.”
“I don’t think your brother’s only remaining granddaughter thinks that way?”
“Hmm! “What did our Seol…”
He cleared his throat for a mont. The door to the guesthouse opened and a woman approached carrying a table of refreshnts.
It was two cups of tea and snacks such as sweets.
“Thank you, Yuna. “Leave it.”
“yes. If you need anything else, please call.”
When the serving woman left, Baek Yo-ran quickly picked up a sugarcane and put it in her mouth.
“After doing this anti-Rohwandong process, my appetite also got younger. Sothing sweet is delicious, so give it a listen.”
“You know very well. “I never ate snacks in the past either.”
“Well, that’s true. But what’s going on here? “It’s not like your blunt brother ca to see .”
After hesitating for a mont, Jinsan Yu spoke of business in a depressed voice.
“I’m making a piece of armor, and I heard I need so Cheonjamsa as material. “Just give one bundle on credit.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yaoran held her belly button and laughed.
She laughed for a while, then wiped away her tears and said.
“Do you know how much a bundle of Cheonjamsa costs? It must be over 500 nyang, right? “Just co bare-chested and present it?”
If I had known this would happen, I would have received at least enough money from my granddaughter.
The problem was that I just left because I was in no mood.
“They say you’ll pay it back later. “We can do that between us, right?”
“Inspiration. Did the drawing room look that funny?”
As expected, she was accurate when it ca to calculations.
Yu Jin-san sighed and grabbed his teacup.
“After all, it just doesn’t work?”
Bai Yaoran sucked on the confectionery for a mont and stared at him intently.
That ti when there was silence for a mont.
Her lips, as small and red as a cherry, were soft and sweet.
“It ans you can’t do it with your bare body.”
“Then what do you want?”
Before she answered, she slipped a nut from her lips and pushed it into her mouth.
“Try to think about it slowly. “I think it’s because I can’t go back today.”
“What are you going to do? why?”
“well.”
What on earth are you trying to ask for? There was nothing left to guess.
But there is no choice anyway.
“Instead, you have to send it in the morning. “I can’t stay long because my baby is waiting.”
“morning? “Isn’t that up to you?”
“What what?”
She did not answer Jinsan Yu’s question.
Instead, he put down the leftover confectionery and changed the topic.
“Anyway, have you heard the news? “I heard that the Gwisalmun Gate was swept away not long ago.”
“What on earth do you an?”
“They all died. “Not a single person is left behind.”
Jinsan Yu was speechless for a mont.
Where is the ghost gate? Isn’t this the clan where I stayed with my granddaughter not long ago?
They beca closer as they enjoyed a banquet together for several days.
They were wiped out overnight? I couldn’t understand it at all.
“If Seol finds out about this, her eyes will roll. “Who on earth did this?”
“Nothing has been revealed. “I heard that not only the Gwisalmun Gate, but also several nearby Sa Sect factions suffered the sa thing?”
What on earth is happening again?
At this point, the showdown with the Murim Lord is just around the corner.
“Do you know any more information?”
After reminiscing for a mont, she clapped her hands together and said.
“Now that I think about it, there’s one more thing. I heard that traces of red blood magic were found on the corpses?”
Yu Jin-san recalled what the Four Masters had said not long ago.
News that the secret weapon of Jeokhyeolshingong, a forbidden magic skill, was stolen from the Murim Alliance’s Jamryonggo.
Could it be that he has already learned martial arts and taken a test?
I couldn’t guess the evil beast, but I thought he might be a peerless expert with great qualities.
For so reason, I couldn’t ignore the uncomfortable feeling.
‘I guess I’ll have to find out what happened.’
