Chapter 611 – 611. Monsters of Reason (2)
When Siete entered the inn where she was staying, the innkeeper who had been welcoming her guests at her counter led Eunhyeon and her party to her room as he had heard the story beforehand.
The innkeeper stopped in front of her room and knocked on her door to inform Xie Te of the arrival of Eun-hyeon and his party.
“Customer. The guests you mentioned have arrived.”
“I get it.”
A grave female voice.
But immediately reacting to the knock and her innkeeper’s notification means that she too has been waiting for Eun-hyeon all this time.
“Then I’m done.”
“Take care.”
When the innkeeper, who bowed slightly to greet her, went away, Eun-hyeon opened the door and entered her room.
“I’m home. Master.”
“Hello. Master!”
“… Okay.”
Upon hearing Eunhyeon and Erin’s greetings, Siete looked puzzled as if she didn’t like something.
‘You’re in a bad mood.’
Eun-hyeon, who was good at understanding Siete’s mood, immediately recognized that the teacher was not in a good mood.
“… Hmm?”
After reading Erin Doshiete’s feelings, she put on a puzzled expression that she was in a very bad mood.
However, the two would not have thought that the cause was because of Eun-hyeon.
“What about the two people in the back?”
Siete immediately shifted her gaze to the two men who had followed Eun-hyeon.
Since Erin was already Eun-hyeon’s disciple and wife, she roughly knew that she would follow Eun-hyeon like a gum ticket, but the two men behind her were strangers to Siete.
She thought that her face of Cha Han-seong was somehow familiar, but she was not in her memory.
From the beginning, she doesn’t pay much attention to others, and she doesn’t remember people’s faces very well.
“Her friend and his friend’s subordinate.”
After Eunhyeon briefly introduced the two of them, Riod and Cha Hanseong opened their mouths and introduced themselves.
“My name is Leo. I am a friend of this guy.”
“Cha, my name is Cha Han-seong.”
“… Hmm.”
Siete kept a keen eye on Leode, one of her two men.
She wasn’t wearing knight’s armor, but she recognized at once that he was a swordsman from the long sword she wore around her waist and her stocky physique.
Leode also watched Xiethe closely as they sat in her chair and watched them cross her legs.
Since she was also a prosecutor, observing other prosecutors in front of her was like a habit.
Each other immediately grasped each other’s physique, attitude, and the quality of the energy they had, and gauged the other’s level.
‘It’s strong.’
‘Strong.’
The two people looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.
However, the expression is similar, but the substance is completely different.
Siete has a well-trained and well-groomed aura, so as her swordsman, she evaluated the strength of Rio de, who has a body that is near-perfect.
On the other hand, Siete, as seen by Riod, was strange.
The energy she possessed was unusual.
Perhaps it is the magical power of the Shinsoo that she gained after being resurrected as a hundred demons through Erinn’s ability.
Her outward physical strength itself doesn’t look particularly special.
However, it is a characteristic that Eun-hyeon also has similarly that she has been taught.
‘Indeed. It’s true that what you see isn’t everything.’
Since he had already been briefed on Siete’s activities by Cain, the commander of the Artia Knights, who had already been dispatched to this Mograf region, Leo knew that what he saw was not everything.
“Well, it won’t matter.”
Siete and Riod didn’t say a word bluntly.
After the exploration time of observing each other with eyes had already ended, it was Siete who let go of their guard.
As long as Eun-hyeon introduced herself, she already knew from the very beginning that he was not someone who would harm her.
Siete moved her gaze back to the table and poured wine into her glass.
“… Have you been drinking?”
“Okay. Is there something wrong?”
“…”
In response to Siete’s question, Eunhyeon hardened his face and said nothing.
‘Difficulty has increased.’
Based on past experience, if Siete starts drinking, then you should never be offended.
Eun-hyeon hurriedly acted as she naturally drew a picture of the future in which she would have to continue accepting her drunkenness until she collapsed.
She went right up to her and put her sword in her hand.
“The sword for Master is complete.”
“…”
Siete paused as she was about to drink her wine and looked at the cloth-sealed sword in Eun-hyeon’s hand.
“Okay.”
Soon after, she put down her wine glass and received the sealed sword from Eunhyun.
She slowly undid the seal and unwrapped the cloth wrapped around it, revealing a sword inside of her.
“…”
Seeing the sword once, Siete’s body stiffened.
‘You’re surprised.’
On the outside, she was just staring at the mistletoe made by Eun-hyeon with a calm expression on the outside, but Erin read that Siete’s emotions were quite agitated.
That’s the only way to do it.
In order to make that sword, Eunhyeon and she seemed to know that the 10 dwarves worked hard for over 30 hours, so Erin felt proud inside.
Even if what he did was just a chore to assist Eunhyeon, the fact that his own effort and time went into making that sword makes his heart overflow.
Siete tried hard to hide her agitation, but she naturally tightened her grip on the mistletoe.
Even so, she gripped the hilt of her sword and drew it from its carefully crafted scabbard, with as much detail and care as possible.
Seuleung
She held her eyes to the pure white sword blade, which appeared with the clean sound of metal grinding.
“Ah.”
Siete let out a small exclamation.
The grip and weight felt in the wrist holding the sword.
And the length and thickness of the ideal sword she thinks.
From the moment he plucked the mistletoe, Siete was instinctively convinced.
That this sword was made only for himself.
It seems that Eun-hyeon, who knows herself better than herself and anyone else, is fully contained in the mistletoe as she only cares for herself.
As her heart was conveyed intact, she touched Te’s heart when she had been filled with dissatisfaction.
“Really… Did you make this sword for me?”
“Sure. Is there anything you need to adjust?”
If there’s something you don’t like, it’s true that you show an unstoppable attitude as if you’re willing to revise it right away.
“…”
Siete did not answer Eunhyeon’s question.
The part you don’t like?
There can be no such thing.
This sword, named mistletoe, was already complete in its current state.
Optimal condition for your own use.
But at the same time, it was incomprehensible.
How could Eun-hyeon accurately embody the shape of the most ideal sword that Siete had in mind?
“I want to talk for a moment.”
Siete glanced at Erin, Riod, and Cha Han-seong, who were standing in front of the door, and said.
Understanding that he meant that he wanted to talk with Eunhyeon alone, Liod nodded.
“We will be out for a while.”
“Hyunah. Call me when you’re done talking.”
“Okay.”
The three nodded at Siete’s request and left the room, and when it was only the two of them in the room, Siete held out an empty wine glass to Eun-hyeon.
“Would you like a drink?”
“I’ll have a little drink.”
Eunhyeon took a sip of the wine Siete had poured her.
“This sword is really an ideal shape for me. Something to fix… There is none.”
It meant that the mistletoe made by Eun-hyeon was recognized as the perfect sword for Siete.
Eun-hyeon knew that for Siete, who is usually calm and doesn’t give compliments at all, it was no different from the best compliment.
“Thank you.”
Eun-hyeon smiled and said, as if she was quite happy that her metallurgy was recognized by her master.
“I made it with Master in mind.”
“… Me?”
Siete heard Eunhyeon’s answer and opened her eyes wide.
“Yes. I was taught that any blacksmith should always think about what kind of weapon he is making and for whom he is making it.”
It was Doran’s teaching of metallurgy to Eunhyeon.
There are two main ways for dwarves to make weapons.
The first is to make the most ideal and best weapon you have in your heart and realize that ideal.
The second is to realize the owner’s ideal of what kind of weapon the owner wants to use.
Doran made Jeokwol and Cheongwol through the second method, but he could not complete the two swords in the end.
To Doran, Eunhyeon was a blacksmith, because he had never shown himself as a swordsman.
Therefore, he put all his soul, efforts, and skills into completing Jeokwol and Cheongwol, but he could not see any results.
But Eun-hyeon is different.
While learning the sword from Siete, the length, weight, and shape of the sword she uses, and the habits and habits she uses.
They know what they prefer and what they don’t like, from one to ten.
That’s why Eunhyeon was able to make a sword that Siete thought was the most ideal shape.
“So when Master told me that he had no complaints about this sword, I was happy. Because I was able to confirm that the appearance of Master I had seen so far was not wrong.”
“…”
Seeing Eun-hyeon’s face expressing her sincerity while showing a bright smile, Siete was at a loss for what to say about her.
His honest and direct expression made Siete’s heart happy, but he somehow made it itchy somewhere in his chest and couldn’t stand it.
As if to gloss over her feelings, Siete left the wine and got up from the table.
“Let’s go out.”
“Yes?”
Eunhyun stood up from her chair following Siete, who suddenly got up from her seat, and put on a puzzled expression.
“Thanks to you guys, I feel really good right now.”
Originally, no matter what sword Eunhyeon brought, he had no intention of being satisfied with that sword.
However, Siete, who was holding the mistletoe tightly in her hand, was full of thoughts that she wanted to wield this sword right away, contrary to her original thoughts.
“Come out. Let’s mix swords after a long time.”
Was it because he was slightly drunk, or was he really in a good mood?
The corners of her mouth rose, revealing a bright smile, and Siete’s cheeks were full of blush.
He said that his master, whom he admired and who spared no effort to catch up with, wanted to compete with him, but there was no reason to refuse.
Eunhyun smiled and playfully provoked Siete.
“You’ve been drinking too, aren’t you overdoing it?”
“Hey, cheeky boy. You’ve had quite a bit of free time while you haven’t seen it. Don’t regret later that you made a sword for no reason.”
However, seeing Eunhyeon arrogantly, Shiete didn’t feel so bad.
