Chapter 548 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 34
Unidentified words he heard when he flew into this world. Dojin remembered the words asking him to save this world and was lost in thought for a moment.
However.
“Let’s climb the dungeon.”
“What?”
“Whoever gave me this power, whoever called me to this world. “Don’t you think there will be an answer at the end?”
Dojin said that and pointed to the dungeon that soared into the sky.
Just like that.
All the answers were in the dungeon.
“If I climb, climb, climb, one day I will find out who called me here.”
If you climb the dungeon like that and eventually meet the person who called you… Just ask then.
Why did you give yourself this power?
Why did you call me here?
There was no surer way than that.
“Let’s go.”
The adventurer’s job is to climb the dungeon.
And overcome the unknown at the end.
That was all.
So Dojin and his party climbed into the dungeon again.
40 layers.
Do-jin, who was a little excited after realizing his new technology, suffered a crushing injury to his upper body.
* * *
“… “I’m sorry.”
“Are you awake? Leader.”
Treatment room inside the temple.
When Do-jin opened his eyes, he remembered what happened before he fell.
Dojin, who climbed to the 40th floor and discovered the first monster he encountered, used the new technology he developed. Sword wind. A fantasy technique that shoots out sharp winds by swinging a sword.
However, the monster hit by that technique seemed to not even be tickled, so he ignored it and ran over, swinging his club. Dojin, who tried to lightly ignore the attack, collapsed before the monster’s overwhelming strength.
He was a dojin with the skill of channeling 10 powers with 1 power, but he could not channel 100 or 1000 powers with 1 power.
“I forgot to always be careful in the dungeon…”
Dungeons are where even experienced veteran adventurers lose their lives due to a near miss. Dojin was no exception to the rule. Regardless of whether you are from another world or have special abilities that others do not have.
Dojin recalled that fact again and realized that new equipment was needed.
‘The weapon was good… If only there had been at least some armor.’
The reason why the sword wind did not work is simple. Because the weapons were not good. The reason why he fainted from the blow afterward is simple. This is because the armor was not good.
Weapons and armor. It’s an element I didn’t pay much attention to until now… Now I am slowly feeling the importance of the Dojindo tool.
‘My father said that too.’
Craftsmen do not choose tools.
A wooden sword held by an expert is stronger than a master sword held by a beginner.
But then.
How strong is the famous sword held by a master?
‘Will you accept it this time?’
Dojin thought of Lastina, who had kicked him out, saying she would not make him a weapon. He still didn’t know why she rejected him… If you think about it, Liu Bei was also rejected by Zhuge Liang three times and did not give up, leaving behind the four-character idiom, “Samgochoryeo.”
If you think about this, it is impossible for someone who is good at using a sword to be discouraged and give up after failing once.
Just as there is no tree that cannot be felled by striking it ten times, I will attack it ten times and a hundred times, and it will surely catch the weapon.
Dojin went to Lastina’s workshop as soon as he was discharged.
And he found a locked workshop.
[Closed]
“… Closed?”
What kind of blacksmith would go on hiatus? At that time, he was staring blankly at the phrase on the door, dumbfounded by the absurd sight.
The door next door opened, and the silver-haired dwarf seen at Lastina’s house appeared.
“Uh, you’re that person back then, right?”
“… “That one.”
“Huh? Didn’t he introduce himself? My name is Acrina. “That’s Dojin, right?”
“Yeah, whatever. Mr. Lastina?”
“I closed the door and went into hiding today because I thought I had enlightenment or something. Do you think I’m the only one who realizes it? It’s very uproar.”
Ak Rina shrugged her shoulders and answered. She also told me that if Rastina behaves like that, she will go home for a few days.
After hearing those words, Do-jin fell into tears and wondered what to do. Find another blacksmith? There is no guarantee that you will be able to find another blacksmith with the same skills as Lastina, and there is no guarantee that such a top-notch blacksmith will meet you, whom you have never met.
Wasn’t it because Orion, who was close to her, was able to meet Rastina right away? Likewise, it is very difficult to meet a skilled blacksmith.
‘Well, it’s funny that a skilled craftsman opens a store and does business on the street…’
If he is a truly skilled craftsman, he does not even need to open his own shop. All kinds of organizations will reach out to scout him, and all you have to do is choose the one you want.
Whether you join the royal blacksmith shop or join the world’s richest elite. The craftsman can do whatever he wants.
“Anyway, why did you come again today? Lastina makes weapons?”
“… No. There was no such thing said. I’m here to ask you again. “It’s strange to give up once you’ve been rejected.”
“Lastina will say that she won’t make you a sword until you become human?”
“Until she became human… ?”
“Oh, I shouldn’t have said this, really.”
Akrina turned around, covering her mouth as if she had made a mistake. Do-jin, who saw her like that, was convinced that she knew something about her.
Do-jin glanced at the store she came out of and saw the sign with her clothes pattern on it and realized that it was the store that made her clothes.
Since the clothes are made by dwarves, this is a store that is expected to have magical effects beyond just a boutique.
“—Now that I think about it. I also tried to buy armor. Tight-fitting armor wasn’t a good idea, so I needed clothes made of leather or fabric…”
Hehe- I see-?”
“Is there anywhere you can recommend? Ah, it would be nice if it was a place run by a top-notch craftsman like Mr. Lastina…”
When Akrina heard that he was a top-class craftsman like Lastina, she gestured toward her shop and shouted as if she could not stand it any longer.
“You can’t tell me later that I told you!? Follow me!”
Acrina said that and entered her workshop. Dojin followed her into her store and let out an exclamation of admiration as she saw the smell of chemical products wafting out and the headless mannequins hanging out.
I thought I would only see something like this on Earth… For a medieval fantasy world, it was quite cutting edge.
“Ruler! First, tell me clearly what you want!”
“… “What are the conditions Mr. Lastina said?”
“Not like that! What clothes do you want, what kind of performance do you want, things like that!”
I’m a tailor! While listening to Akrina shouting loudly, Dojin remembered what kind of clothes he needed.
First, it had to not impede movement. That was the reason why the uniforms worn by martial artists were baggy. He had to avoid being hindered in practicing martial arts and at the same time hide from view what purpose he was moving for.
At the same time, defense was also needed. If there was no defense because it was thin, there was no need to pay expensive money to get clothes tailored at a place like this. It may not require the same level of defense as metal armor made of thin fabric or leather, but shouldn’t it at least prevent one from being put to death in one hit?
When I summarized the above opinions and conveyed them to Acrina, she looked at Dojin as if she was slightly embarrassed.
“A thin gi made of cloth or leather, but with the defensive power to withstand attacks from mid-level or higher monsters? Where is your conscience? …”
“There is magic, but you can’t make clothes like that?”
“Do you know how magic is all-purpose? If that were possible, I would have conquered the dungeon by making a weapon that kills everything in front of me when I swing it.”
“Then, Mr. Acrina, you can’t make the clothes I told you about.”
“I can’t make it! “I asked you if you had no conscience, but you didn’t say I couldn’t do it!?”
Akrina immediately took out her paper and started scribbling something on it. Silk woven from Crystal Beetle’s silk thread, the fur of the demon-possessed Viana, the latest magic cloth invented at the Magic Tower, the scales of the Red Drake, etc…
All kinds of top-quality materials were written down on paper, and prices including Akrina’s own technical fees were written below.
“Now, get these ingredients and come back.”
“Where?”
“You should ask the guild or something. How you get it is up to you. “Don’t come looking for me until I’m saved.”
“When will you tell me why Mr. Lastina rejects me?”
“When you find the ingredients, then! Come back later!”
Maybe.
It seems that Akrina didn’t want to tell her Dojin the secret.
Dojin thought so after seeing the ingredients written on the paper.
If he were an ordinary adventurer, there were ingredients written there that he would not have been able to obtain even if he worked hard all his life.
But unfortunately, Dojin was blessed as an adventurer.
“—Well, I got them all.”
“… No, not even a day has passed?”
“If you have money, everything is possible.”
The savings accumulated through his overwhelming talent had the power to make anything possible.
Looking at Dojin, who had obtained all the ingredients she had mentioned, Akrina burst into laughter.
“… Welcome, customer!”
However, unlike Lastina, she was a craftsman who knew reality.
She knew well that a rich customer is king.
