chapter 16
16. Blacksmith (1)
Fortunately, Mr. Denzel saw Jan leaving the shop.
Yan, carrying something piled in a white cloth, walked to the other side of the Alchemy Workshop street.
Come to think of it, the holy sword was nowhere to be seen at the pawnshop. Unless it was stored separately, the thing wrapped in the white cloth he carried must have been the holy sword.
“On the other side of the Alchemy Workshop is Blacksmith Street…”
A place where the flames do not cool all year round, the street of artisans where the sound of hammers and anvils resonates, and steam and smoke rise endlessly.
Due to Yan’s personality, I don’t think he would spread about the holy sword so easily, so I thought the main purpose was probably to do basic maintenance and match the scabbard. Doesn’t he seem to be able to wrap himself in cloth every time?
The Alchemy Workshop and Blacksmith Street are still bound within the large frame of the production block, so I was able to arrive at the entrance quickly without rest.
“It takes 4 minutes…”
About 4 minutes to run from the pawnshop to here..
“And the remaining time… 11 Minutes…”
Excluding running to Legarete’s mansion, the time allotted only for finding Yan was 11 minutes.
Returning to Legarete’s mansion was a life she had given up, and the best way would be to find Yan, accept the solution right away, and face Legarete, but she knew full well that it wouldn’t be so easy.
He had to give up one or two lives. It wasn’t too late to think about running to the mansion after discovering Yan.
What are the chances of finding Yan at once in this huge area where the sounds of anvils and hammers echo without rest?
It wasn’t long before I made up my mind that even if I was bitten into a tiger’s den, I could live as long as I came to my senses…

Gyaaak Guwaaak
What I was bombarded with was countless spammy malicious advertisements. What the f*ck is this!
I had no choice but to be dazed in the midst of the noise that made my eyes and ears dizzy. Others were getting through without paying any attention, as if they were used to it, but there’s no way I could do that for the first time!
Dottegi Market looked like a nobleman, and the sound of metal clashing with metal was a real nightmare.
“Looking for Yan in a place like this…?”
It was a scene that brought out a sigh of relief, moreover, as if they had just returned from the labyrinth, countless adventurers were flocking to it carrying the corpses of various monsters.
Wow, don’t push! Don’t push!
Even if you stay still, your feet are floating and moving. Isn’t this dangerous?
“Say, save me…Eup!”
Just as the nightmare on my way to work on subway line 1 was about to reappear, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me vigorously.
“It’s cha”
She was the one who lifted one person with ease, as if pulling weeds out of the crops, and was none other than a woman with a large body, almost two meters tall. And she began to make her way through the crowd, carrying me as if she were a piece of luggage. It was not a matter of getting out of her crowd as the massive body started to move.
She got out of her main stream in an instant and entered her alleyway, and then she carefully put her menna on her shoulder.
She felt bewildered for a moment, but when she looked up at her head, she saw a woman with a bronzed face smiling broadly. Her brown hair, up in her hairpin, was impressive.
“Oh, that’s right, that’s right. I was wondering if you could.”
“Um… Thank you, and did you bring me here for something?”
No matter how much I thought about it, I had no memory of meeting her.
Speaking of people who came into contact with her in this world, she was only less than 10 people, but she smiled as if she knew me. Her husky voice pierced my ears.
“You’re new to Yan’s pawn shop, right?”
“Eh.”
How did you know? You haven’t said anything yet?
“Those who ate witch’s food have a special smell. Oh, of course, my nose is unique.”
Coming closer to her, she took a deep breath in her once and she nodded her head in satisfaction.
“For me, who smells all things, it’s no big deal to tell who has the scent of Yarn.”
She then held out her hand towards me, where she was absent-minded.
“My name is Eric Albit, nice to meet you, newcomer. He’s the blacksmith who runs the Wiolland Blacksmith.”
Caught in her mood, let’s hand over her and shake her up and down. Whoa! Perhaps because of the height difference between them, her body naturally moved up and down.
Compared to me, the hand I handed over to her was so huge that my two hands could easily fit in the palm of my hand. It seemed like he could hold a bowling ball, not a basketball, with one hand.
“Well, it’s a small blacksmith’s shop with only me and my grandfather.”
“My name is Einheri. There is no gender.”
“Huh? Are you from the North?”
Is the name Einheri a monopoly?
“There is nothing special about the northern part.”
But Erik was looking all over my body to see if he was different.
“How old are you?”
His actual age outside of the game is over 25, but I couldn’t believe it when he said that.
“I am eighteen.”
“Northern origin… Manly face… Young age… Late? That’s why, but Jan-nim somehow told me not to come, and there was a reason for everything.”
Don’t worry, I don’t know if he grows bigger. I couldn’t get used to Eric’s behavior as he slapped me on the back with a sinister smile as if he knew everything.
“By the way, it’s not only a blacksmith’s shop, but also an appraisal for swords and various weapons, so we’ll be seeing each other often. I have a business agreement with the B&S&G pawnshop. Let’s go inside.”
“Hey, I have something to ask you. Has Jan been here by any chance?”
“Huh? Didn’t you come to get something from Jan’s request?”
Eyes filled with doubt collided in the air.
“No, I heard that Yan was heading to the blacksmith’s street, so I came to find it…”
“I thought Yan had sent someone to receive the goods because he suddenly disappeared without a sound. I said it was kind of weird. He even told me not to come to the store, and there’s no way the person who was trying to hide it would send an employee.”
Each other’s positions were twisted. After talking for a while, I was able to get a rough idea of what had happened.
“So, you mean Yan suddenly evaporated?”
“Did you suddenly disappear into the ground without cleaning the sword? It wasn’t like this hadn’t happened before. Well, it usually came back within an hour or two.”
The problem was that I didn’t have that much time.
We only have 5 minutes left. An hour or two? It was more than enough time for my head to be pulled out dozens or hundreds of times.
“…You have no idea where you went?”
“Well, if I knew that, wouldn’t I be playing a witch? Like the Iron Witch. Whoops.”
This is completely twisted. I tried to find Yan and somehow find a way to deal with this situation, but I couldn’t solve it in a situation where the person in question had evaporated.
“Because I’m here, I’ll take some of these things, and I’ve made almost all of the things Yan-nim asked for, so take them as soon as you finish-“
“I made everything. Eric.”
The one who cut off her words at once was none other than her grandfather, who had a white beard covering her bottom half. Unlike his aging face, his body was literally a beast itself, a feast of bursting muscles as if watching bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman’s heyday.
“No, Grandpa! You touch other people’s work again?!”
“Tsk tsk, I didn’t even understand the characteristics of the sword and made things arbitrarily, so I touched it. That’s how it goes out of my forge, I don’t see it until the dirt gets in my eyes. You will know that”
“Kyaaagh!”
A white beard and a familiar face along with a muscular body.
I knew him.
“Wolundr? (Vǫlundr)”
At the same time as I said that, I felt like I was being sucked in in an instant, and before I knew it, my head was on top of the anvil.
A little bit of heat remained on the anvil, probably because the hot iron had been used a while ago.
“How do you know my name?”
And in front of my blank eyes-
Bang!
A hammer bigger than my head was hammered down. Pure power itself rode through my head and shook everything. A strong hand gripped his neck from behind, clamping his breath.
“Grandpa!”
“On all continents, no more than five people know my name. Usually they call me Wiolland or Büland, nobody calls me Willundr. “
It was a mistake.
Bang!
The hammer, which was stamped again, came closer this time. If I shortened the distance just one more time, the momentum that would cut my head instead of the anvil. If I didn’t say it, it was a murderous look in my eyes that would really take my head and check the pink contents.
“Tell me, how do you know my name?”
That’s right, I had no choice but to know.
[Blacksmith Walundr.]
Because he was the main blacksmith NPC in Labyrinth Maze 1.
The person who sharpened and polished the adventurer’s weapons and made the necessary items. Because the illustration and modeling were completely identical, I couldn’t help but know if I didn’t know.
It hasn’t been long since you said that modesty, humility, and careful mouthing are the only ways to survive for a long time. Such a mistake.
f*cked.
The fishy smell of hot iron stung my nose.
“Don’t you want to talk? Then die-“
“Hey, Yan! I heard from Yan!”
I couldn’t help it, I had to sell Yan’s name.
“That’s a lie.”
However, Walundre shook his head as if there was no point in trying.
“If you hold something and handle it at this age, you will know it even if you don’t want to know it, the feeling that comes every time you hit an iron ingot, the feeling that this guy is a great iron, he will make a good weapon.”
Again the hammer was raised high. And the place the hammer was heading was no longer in front of my eyes, but towards my head.
“But right now I only feel false feelings from you, only the trembling of failures and garbage, but none of them are true. If you don’t want to talk, just die.”
I had no choice but to close my eyes tightly and shout at the chilly eyes that would freeze even the heart of the viewer, and the hammer strike that came down without the slightest hesitation.
“Nagisingkungkotto!”
It was the mindset of being whatever you want to be.
A feeling of desperation, saying that otherwise, it will work somehow.
“What?”
When I opened my closed eyes and looked up, I saw the underside of the hammer filling my field of vision.
I meant it, if I didn’t tell it, Walundre was going to cut my head off.
The idea of killing me without caring about who I am or how.
“How do you say that name?”
Kung!
After throwing the hammer into the corner, Walundr grabbed me by the collar and pushed his face closer. Close enough that his shaggy beard stabbed my cheek.
“Why did you say that name?”
“That’s it…”
He was silent for a moment as he tried to speak.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong, can I go on like this? But I soon made up my mind.
Anyway, it’s Patunan’s version. It didn’t matter whether he said it or not, but he thought it was right to say it anyway.
There was nothing to lose by saying that I was going to go back.
“Because I am a person of the same trend as Nagi Singkung Kotto.”
The tile was thrown.
All that was left was Walundr’s answer.
