I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Chapter 44



Episode 44. Island of Artisans

“What is this?”

Baek Woo-jin looked at the reward window that appeared in front of him in confusion.

I thought Hong Ara needed at least 3 more months to become level 1, but suddenly a quest completion window appeared.

It was an incomprehensible phenomenon.

-What is it? Hong A-ra became 1st grade.

“Of course I know that. But how did you get to level 1?”

-I woke up after seeing the fight between you and Baek Sohee. It looks like he followed exactly what you told him to look at carefully.

“Huh…”

It’s true that I told Hong Ara to watch the fight carefully. But I didn’t have high expectations because the level was different.

I never imagined that I would awaken in that fight and become level 1.

-I think the fact that you and Baek Sohee’s aura exploded had an impact, but it was a big coincidence anyway.

“That’s right. “Nana Arana’s luck has broken.”

-It’s not enough for you to benefit, so now you’re spreading the luck to your subordinates. He’s like the embodiment of luck.

“He is the embodiment of luck. “Good.”

I felt like things were going well, as if I was truly lucky.

“What is a hidden quest?”

-This is a reward received when you satisfy the conditions hidden in the quest. In this case, the hidden goal was to beat it within 3 months.

“It’s just honey. Should I go to Baek So-hee and say thank you?”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and brought up the status window.

Stamina : 43/100 (Intermediate) (+11)

Mental Strength: 64/100 (Advanced) (+3)

Points: 800 points

It has been a while since I reached intermediate level and my abilities are already at 43. As the darkness said, it was a speed that felt like fraud.

-We really need to wake up to the system that just gives things away. I’m going on strike soon.

“It takes 300 points to raise your ability level by 1 from intermediate level, so it doesn’t matter if you give some.”

It takes 300 points to increase the intermediate ability by 1. Even if you give away points, growth will now start to slow down.

“Yeomik’s performance was really great this time.”

-okay. There is a morale technique that consumes the enemy’s energy and gives you strength…

“I didn’t know it would be that effective.”

The effect of Yeomik is the ability to consume the momentum created by the opponent and transfer that power to Baek Woo-jin.

Baek Woo-jin immediately poured out the energy delivered by Yeom Ik and destroyed Baek So-hee.

-The combat characteristics of the diaphanous body have been registered. What do you think? Do you feel it?

“No, not at all.”

-I guess so. That will only activate during battle. At that time, you will be able to take battle to a new level.

“Should we go right now and start a fight with Baek So-hee?”

-If you want to catch up, do it yourself.

Darkness waved its blade as if to stop talking nonsense. Baek Woo-jin laughed and got up from the bed.

“huh?”

On my way to the bathroom to wash up, I noticed a small box on the table. It was a box containing the reward that Baek So-hee and the Red Sword Team had obtained.

widely.

A bracelet was fixed inside the box. It was a beautiful bracelet decorated with blue water drops.

“Please feel for me.”

-Did you leave it to me?

Even though the darkness was whining, it felt right away.

[Sea Serpent’s Bracelet]

This is a bracelet made with the help of Sea Serpent. Water property sensitivity and water property resistance increase.

Grade: Unique.

Wearable conditions: None.

Body +5

Stamina +5

Water property sensitivity +15

Water property resistance +20

“I was wondering where the Red Sword Team had been, and they came back with Mr. Serpent.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled as he adjusted his bracelet.

– Although it has a single attribute, it is a good item with high values and abilities. That’s an unexpected benefit.

“I know. “They did the hard work and I got the reward.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and put on his bracelet. A cool sensation enveloped my entire body, as if I had dipped my feet into the beach in the middle of summer.

“I’ve never fought a magician before, but I don’t think I’ll lose anyway.”

-If you lose to a wizard due to your elemental resistance, you have to go out and run after him.

Among the rivals of the Shingeombaekga, there is also a magic inscription. I knew I would bump into it someday, but since my elemental resistance was high, I felt confident.

“Hmm…”

As I was putting away the box, the Hwiyeon sword hanging behind me caught my eye.

Cheaaa!

When I pulled out the sword, the blade was very damaged.

“My teeth have come out a bit too much.”

-The damage is severe. Do you know any blacksmith?

“It can’t be…”

Just as I was about to answer, the door opened and Hong A-ra came in carrying a few items.

“You’re awake!”

Hong A-ra threw away the items and ran towards Baek Woo-jin.

“Are you okay?”

“I just passed out. don’t worry.”

-I will see you fainting often, so tell me not to be surprised.

‘shut up.’

Baek Woo-jin glanced at the darkness and examined Hong A-ra’s aura. A level 1 auror was felt in her dantian.

“Congratulations on getting to level 1.”

“How did you know?”

“You’ll know it when you see it.”

“As I was watching the two of them sparring, my lower abdomen suddenly became hot and auric circulation occurred. It was so sudden…”

“Now that we’re at the starting line. “You will have to work harder in the future.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and patted Hong A-ra on the shoulder.

“I won’t disappoint you.”

“good. “We can go together.”

“yes? “Where…”

Baek Woo-jin answered while touching the Hwiyeon sword.

“Let’s repair my sword and go buy yours.”

**

Baek Woo-jin took Hong A-ra and Moon Ju-young to the Arcane Guild. Arcane Guild’s sales floor felt like a high-end department store.

Since Arcane was a production guild that had everything, I planned to repair Hwiyeon’s sword and buy Hong Ara’s sword there.

“I’m really fine. I’m familiar with the training sword…”

“Tsk.”

Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue.

“Originally, it is a tradition that when you reach level 1, your teacher or parents buy you a weapon. Because you are my swordsman and student. I definitely have to buy it. “It’s not cool to buy two, so just choose the one you like.”

“Thank you.”

“okay.”

Baek Woo-jin turned his head and smiled bitterly. He remembered that he had never received anything like that from anyone.

“Woojin!”

When Baek Woo-jin and Hong A-ra arrived on the fourth floor and were about to look around the swords, someone called his name.

It was a woman with a small body and soft short hair.

“Seoin-ah?”

The person who called Baek Woo-jin was Seo In-ah, Arcane’s only daughter, whose life he saved in the Regen area.

“If you come, you should tell me!”

“You said you were not allowed to go out. “I thought you were still locked up…”

“When will that be?” It was released a long time ago. “Where can you find a place that locks people up like that!”

Seo In-ah shook her head as if it made no sense.

‘Our house is that kind of place.’

-That’s what I said. Your house is crazy.

Darkness murmured as if responding to Baek Woo-jin’s words.

“This woman over there….”

“She is my first prosecutor.”

“ah! My name is Seo In-ah. “I received a life-saving gift from Woojin.”

“Oh hello. Her name is Hong A-ra. “Please take care of me…”

Hong A-ra bent her waist at a 90-degree angle, covering her face with her head as if she was embarrassed.

“Then you came to buy a sword.”

“yes. “I want to buy a sword and do some repairs…”

“Repair?”

“Well… the sword that Seo In-ah gave me was damaged. sorry.”

This is the reason why Seo In-ah was not called. It was a gift I gave with great intention, but since the blade was damaged, I felt sorry and couldn’t call it.

“Hwi Hwi Yeon Sword? “It may be old, but Grandpa Jang Hoon made it. What kind of monster did he fight?”

“It’s a monster, right…”

“Well, I’m sorry, but there won’t be anyone here who can repair Hwiyeongeom. Even the repair branch won’t be able to do it…”

“Then what should I do?”

“The grandfather who made it is such an amazing person that I’ll have to go see him.”

“To father-in-law Kim Jang-hoon?”

“yes.”

Seo In-ah nodded as if it was obvious.

“Would you like to come with me?”

“The location of the artisans is a secret.”

“Secret? Artisan Island is well known. “Sometimes we open it for promotional purposes.”

“Ah…”

Baek Woo-jin, who was speaking, closed his mouth in surprise.

-Why are you doing this?

‘I mistook it for my past life. ‘It’s time for the island to not close yet.’

-Will the place called Artisan Island close in the future?

‘okay. The exact reason was not given, but it was closed. Probably because of the attack.’

“Woojin?”

Seo In-ah tilted her head and called Baek Woo-jin.

“yes. “If I can go, I would be very grateful.”

“Then let’s go together.”

**

Baek Woo-jin headed to the island owned by Arcane with Seo In-ah, Moon Ju-young, and Hong A-ra.

Originally, we would have had to go through several routes, but thanks to Seo In-ah, we were able to get to the island in no time.

“Have you made anything before?”

“no. “I still don’t have enough ingredients.”

Seo In-ah sighed.

“Are there any materials that can’t be found in Arcane?”

“The ingredients are rare and not famous, so it’s hard to get them. In addition, there is a time limit for using materials.”

“If you need any help, please let me know at any time.”

“really? “Can I really call you?”

Seo In-ah smiled full of anticipation.

“yes. “Please don’t feel pressured and call me.”

I gave him a famous sword called Hwiyeongeom and brought him to the Artisan Island, so of course I can help him that much.

“Okay, I’ll definitely call you.”

Seo In-ah nodded eagerly and even took Baek Woo-jin’s phone number.

‘Hmm…’

As I went up to the center of the island, I could feel someone’s eyes on me. Although it was vague, the location was roughly figured out.

‘Darkness. ‘We’re being watched, right?’

-…Did you notice that?

‘okay. They are in all four directions: north, south, east and west. Strong. Even if you can’t do it, you’re still in the 5th or 6th grade.’

-Well, I don’t know if it’s because of the delay in vision or the mana sensitivity, but it’s true. I didn’t know I would figure it out on my own.

There was surprise in the darkness’s voice. I never thought that Baek Woo-jin knew that he was being watched.

-As you said, they are grades 5 and 6. I can feel the energy of level 7 in the far west.

‘They must be Arcane Guild members who are there to protect the artisans and items on this island.’

Baek Woo-jin figured out the identities of the guards and comfortably accepted their secret gaze.

“The island is divided into four places. We each make weapons, accessories, and armor tools. The weapon is east. “It will be a little hot over there.”

I moved east while listening to Seo In-ah’s explanation. As she said, in the east, heat was rising from the ground even in the middle of winter.

“Somewhere in the east, they buried something that was the incarnation of fire. So there is more heat than just a volcanic island. “Is everyone okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Baek Woo-jin’s resistance was far beyond that of a criminal. The heat of the volcanic island and the flames of the furnace had no effect on him.

“I’m glad it’s winter. “If only it were summer…”

Hong A-ra shook her head as if it was terrible to even imagine it.

“Grandpa is at the blacksmith shop at the end of this road.”

“You seem to be close.”

“I grew up here when I was young. “When I was young, I came here often…”

Baek Woo-jin listened to Seo In-ah’s childhood stories and headed to the round blacksmith shop at the eastern end.

“uh? miss!”

A middle-aged man sitting in front of a blacksmith shop saw Seo In-ah and rushed out.

“Uncle Youngjin!”

“Long time no see!”

A middle-aged man called Youngjin smiled with a happy face.

“What about grandfather?”

“You are holding a hammer now.”

The sound of holding a hammer means that the craftsman is concentrating his mind to create something. It was a moment that should not be touched.

“I’m sorry.”

Seo In-ah looked back at Baek Woo-jin with apologetic eyes.

“I heard a while ago that you would be taking a break for a while, so I just came…”

“New materials came in, so you suddenly started working.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin glanced up at the workshop behind the man. Inside, a hammering sound was heard that was completely different from anything I had heard before.

“Who is this person?”

“He is the person who said I gave him the Hwiyeon Sword.”

“You are the one who saved the young lady’s life! My name is Youngjin Park. “Thank you so much for saving her!”

The middle-aged man held Baek Woo-jin’s hand and bowed his head.

“It’s already in the past. “You don’t have to do this.”

Baek Woo-jin lowered his head with an embarrassed expression.

“Since you’re here, would you like to take a look?”

“Is that okay?”

“As long as you don’t make too much noise, it will be okay to watch from afar.”

“Then please do me a favor.”

Since I came this far, I wanted to at least see the face of Kim Jang-hoon, the leader of the world.

“Please come this way.”

I turned around and entered the blacksmith shop so as not to disturb Kim Jang-hoon.

Despite his reputation as a world-class craftsman, the blacksmith shop was small, but the heat was much stronger than other blacksmith shops.

It seemed like the incarnation of fire was near this blacksmith shop.

Okay!

Okay!

When I entered the back door, I saw a big old man with gray hair knocking on something round.

The sound of the hammer was so constant that you thought it was being struck by a machine.

– Baek Woo-jin.

‘huh?’

The darkness that had been quiet since coming to the east spoke to me.

-That iron that man is pounding on…

‘Iron? ‘Why iron?’

The moment Baek Woo-jin was about to answer, Danjeon’s aura began to shake. At the same time, Kim Jang-hoon’s hammering, which had been heard regularly, stopped.

thud.

Kim Jang-hoon threw back the hammer he was holding and turned his head to where Baek Woo-jin was.

“What are you?”

Kim Jang-hoon jumped up and approached Baek Woo-jin.

“Why does this iron react as soon as it sees you?”
