Chapter 346 Team HH, Yahiko, thursdays (4/10) (1/2)
Team: HH, Yahiko, thursdays (4/10)
Yeon-woo looked shocked. All kinds of questions floated around in his head. He asked in a slightly trembling voice.
“Did you….. know?”
Henova put his pipe back in his mouth with a serene face, as if trying to tease Yeon-woo.
“I made you your armor and mask. If I still didn’t know after that, I’d be a fool.”
“……!”
Yeon-woo’s eyes widened. Henova had indeed made him the two items.
Like what Henova said, the fact that Henova had made his armor and mask meant that he knew how Yeon-woo’s body was built. Yeon-woo had shared his information window with him, but it was impossible for Henova to make something for him without knowing the smallest details.
No. Even with that aside.
Looking back at it now, Henova had known him well. There was always warmth in his gaze and actions towards Yeon-woo.

“At first, I thought a dead child had returned. How happy I was….. I just thought that you were hiding your identity because nothing good would come from others knowing.”
White smoke steadily filled the room.
“But after talking more with you, I realized. You weren’t that child. You had his face, body, eyes, and voice. But you were someone completely different. Your tone and personality.”
Henova’s gaze was fixed on the furnace with only a spark left. Sounds of the fuel burning popped in the room.
“So I thought someone was trying to trick me. But that wasn’t it either. Then I understood. Hehe. There was something he said a long time ago in passing.”
-Old man. Old man.
It was like the voice of the dead was ringing his Henova’s voice.
He remembered how the guy had entered his smithy without any permission and talked up a storm while he was working on a piece of iron.
-What now? If you’re just gonna babble, go get a hammer and help!

-Do you have a family?
-What in the world are you going on about?
-Just answer my question.
-Hmph! I’m a black dwarf who strayed from his path as a blacksmith! Of course I wouldn’t have something so troublesome. This anvil is my son and this hammer is my wife…..
-What? You’re no fun.
-What? Then what about you?
-Mine’s better off than your boring life.
He pictured the child’s smile.
-I have a rude brother.

Henova’s gaze was fixed on Yeon-woo’s waist. He could see the Magic Bayonet exuding a cold aura.
The iron he had been working on at the time was now in his brother’s possession.
“Actually, I was waiting for you to bring it up sometime since nothing good would come from me asking about it. I thought you were just trying to collect your thoughts.”
“…….”
“So you wanted to tell me now? No. You want me to do something, but your conscience won’t let you ask me without telling me. Is that it?”
Henova glared at Yeon-woo with narrowed eyes.
Yeon-woo shook his head firmly.
“That’s not it.”
“No? You’re in the palm of my hand. I can tell from your usual actions.”

「Seems like the old man knows your personality well. Guess it’s because he’s experienced too much.」
Shanon’s laughing voice rang in his head.
‘Shanon.’
「Hm?」
‘Please shut up.’
Henova took in another deep breath from his pipe. There was a brief period of silence between them.
Yeon-woo wondered what he should say. Did he need to apologize? Or…..
“What did he say about me?”
Yeon-woo asked with the same face as Cha Jeong-woo.

“He said you were rude.”
‘That bastard…..’
“Kelkelkel. Looking back at it now, he was right. Hm?”
Henova chuckled. All his annoyance seemed to be gone.
Yeon-woo laughed with him and slowly opened his mouth.
“You asked why I needed to make Kynee earlier.”
“I did.”
“It’s to find Jeong-woo.”
Henova’s smiling mouth hardened.

“What are you…..?!”
He widened his eyes at the unexpected statement.
Yeon-woo began to explain the situation he was in. The Cast of the Black King that he could only complete after creating Kynee. The promise with the three Cyclops brothers. And the pocket watch that contained a secret.
“Can you show me?”
He held out the pocket watch to Henova. Henova examined the pocket watch for a while. Then, he frowned.
“The seal is too strong. Metallurgy isn’t enough to repair it. And….. you said something about the Soulstone earlier, right?”
“Yes, sir.”
“If that’s in here, I’m even more sure. It’s too hard for me to do something with it. They might also find it too difficult.”
Henova didn’t clarify who “they” were, but Yeon-woo knew who he was referring to.

He was saying it could be hard for the three Cyclops brothers as well.
He avoided explicitly mentioning their names out of respect for the three Cyclops brothers, who were considered blacksmith gods.
That was how hard it was to deal with Soulstones.
“Yes. I thought it might be hard too.”
“Then why?”
“Still, if three gods work on it along with Victoria and Brahm, wouldn’t there be some kind of result? And we have you, so why would I be concerned?”
“Hmph. Did you think flattering me would get you anywhere?”
Henova scoffed, but there was a smile on his face.
“And even if we fail, Hades agreed to give me Kynee after we help him…..”

“Ah, so you’re saying you can awaken the power of the Black King to find another solution?”
“Yes, sir.”
Yeon-woo nodded.
The power of death.
If he had the Authority that gods and demons respected and Poseidon was wary of…..
He thought a path would open.
Henova crossed his arms and nodded.
