Miners in the iron mine (5)

Lucas could arguably describe what had happened to him in recent weeks as the cataclysm of his life.

'What the hell am I experiencing?'

After the war was over, Chris summoned back all the soldiers.

At first veterans like Lucas were skeptical of receiving Chris training, but they showed blind trust after he defeating the 3 star aura swordsman Jansson.

Roman and Chris. Neither of them were ordinary people, and soldier where convinced that if they are taught by them, they will become completely different person.

However he couldn't believe what Chris had said to them that day, even after hearing it.

"From now on, I am going to teach you how to use and feel mana. This is a gift from the master to you all, so you will have to train with all your heart and soul."

It was an unbelievable statement to him, What is Mana cultivation technique?

It was a systematic arrangement of a unique method of handling mana. Also it was something that could not be learned by everyone. Even if it was a low-ranked mana cultivation technique, it cost an enormous amount of gold coins, so obviously most people in this world didn't have ability to have mana cultivation technique due to its enormous cost.

And when Chris said that such a treasure would now be thought to all of them? It was unbelievable thing to him. Of course someone like Lucas had no choice but to be stunned.

'Obviously he is give us some trash technique that is easy to find. Mana cultivation technique is something that even a father wouldn't tell his son. If such knowledge is spread around like some common knowledge, then obviously the rarity of it will vanish, so he has no reason to tell us something that good. No matter how loyal a soldier might be to Roman Dmitry, the time we all have spent with him is too little for him to give up such treasure.'

[ In past Lucas had been obsessed with the Mana cultivation technique.

He couldn't challenge any A class mercenary because he didn't have any special abilities, so he tried to implement the aura somehow while investing all the money he had earned in mana cultivation technique available.

The result was, he had lost all of his fortune. ]

He had no choice but to invest even though he knew that the mana methods sold on the market floor were garbage, and although he experienced many mana cultivation technique, he never felt mana, and he didn't know what mana was.

Lucas was frustrated, It was at that moment he realized the limits of his efforts, and since then, he even had a feeling of skepticism about his life as a mercenary.

From his past experience Lucas thought, Roman Dmitry obviously would be going to tell them about the trash cultivation technique that he was use to.

But his expectations were terribly wrong.

"The name of this technique is called Asura cultivation."

Lucas was astonished when he operated the Asura cultivation technique according to Chris explanation.

'This is crazy.'

He realized this technique was a treasure. Even thought he had only performed only one step in the guidence Chris, he felt heat all over his body, and as if his body turned absolutely sensitive, his skin tickled. It was different from what he had experienced before.

Lucas had completely abandoned his thoughts on being an Aura Swordsman before, but this technique gave him a new hope, and that wasn't the end of it. Asura Sword Technique that Chris described, had 108 ways to counter the enemy and could fully utilize the Mana Cultivation technique.

Lucas was shocked. He was certain now Roman Dmitry was a much greater person than he had initially thought.

'What the hell is Roman Dmitry? Not long ago, he was a man called Dmitry's jerk, but he defeated the 4-star aura swordsman Homer, and this time, he taught me mana cultivation technique and swordsmanship just because he was his private soldier. No even so, his actions cannot be understood with common sense of normal people. If I had been in a situation where I had a monopoly on the Asura cultivation technique and Asura Swordsmanship, I would have kept it an absolute secret, even from my blood relatives and he would have never told anyone.'

Lucas was stunned.It was an unexpected situations

All of enlisted men of Roman, including Lucas were brimming with enthusiasm.

They knew that the value of Mana cultivation technique was great, so from then on, everyone showed enthusiasm to the point of staying up all night to train.

It was life-changing moment for all of them.

If he even awakens as an aura swordsman through this cultivation method, a new life that he could not have before will unfold before his eyes.

[ In the last few days, Lucas was very happy.

It was a cataclysmic event in his life, and Lucas was happily training every day while fully enjoying his change happening in his body. ]

In such a situation, where Lucas heard Roman's suggestion for him to become the leader of the information guild, he didn't even think about it properly and replied,

"I'm sorry, but I want to stay by your side master."

It was absolutely unacceptable for Lucas to leave Roman side.

* * *

For his future envisioning of an information guild, Roman was looking for a right person.

Chris, he was the key to power and but he was not talented to be able to handle the information guild, Chris was out of the question to be made as the leader of information guild.

Kevin, in fact considering his experience where he was once bottom of the society and his unique attitude, Kevin was a good fit for the leader of information guild in the future .

But Roman soon made up his mind.

Kevin is growing as a perfect manpower for battle and as his subordinate, and the head of the information guild needs years of experience in responding to various incidents.

Kevin, who was still just a boy, was inexperienced and Roman concluded that he was not the right person.

At the end Roman chose Lucas.

'Lucas is a veteran who has experienced everything in his life as a mercenary. Just as he showed realistic approach in the recruitment test, he has excellent ability to respond to variables and has a wide network as he has lived as a mercenary. Above all Lucas is a person who can make realistic and pragmatic judgments. I think the information guild needs to be led by someone like Lucas who can handle it properly.'

Roman thought Lucas is the right person for this job.

Organize the information Morkan found out, and take on the role of gathering information from all over the continent.

But Lucas didn't want to take the position.

"If I take on the intelligence guild, I definitely have to leave the master's side. In order to find out all the information on the continent, I will not be able to live in one place until I have a perfect system prepared. So I don't like it. I want to stay by your side. I was truly moved seeing when young master slaughtered the enemies in the war with Barco. I thought it would be worth giving my life to be with someone like you, so please don't let me go anywhere else."

Lucas earnestly refused and also showed some desperation when speaking.

When Roman heared Lucas reply he laughed inwardly while thinking, 'He is good at lying.'

Roman already knew what was going on in Lucas mind. Loyalty? It's was not due to loyalty towards him. Lucas was so obsessed with the Asura Cultivation technique and Asura Sword Technique that he didn't want to even consider taking over that position.

Being aura swordsmen was every swordsman's dream. And Lucas knew that in order to achieve it, he would have to stay by the side of Roman. That was why he had rejected his offer instantly.

Roman said, "I will ask you one thing. Why do you think I taught you the Asura cultivation technique and the Aura sword technique?"

"I do not know."

He didn't know yet, why such a treasure was being taught to all of the Roman soldiers, so he kept his silence to hear the truth from Roman himself.

"I gave you a present in return for your loyalty. And there are not many people in the world who give such a gift. Lucas, what do you think of me? Do you think a man named Roman Dmitry would give all of his treasure to his soldiers for their loyalty?"

"That means ."

Now Lucas understand everything.

Asura cultivation technique and Asura Sword Technique, was great treasure to soldier but it was not anything to Roman.

"I don't expect any unreasonable loyalty from you. Asura cultivation technique and Asura Sword Technique are only worth giving as gifts, so I gave them away as the price for loyalty you showed and risked your lives on the battlefield by following me. So what do you think I will give to someone who is worth more than a soldier?"

Roman had taught Chris Seomjeon. On the other hand, he taught the Ghost Illusion Demonic Martial Arts to Kevin. And now, Roman further shared his knowledge with his soldiers.

The resulting variables didn't concern Roman. In fact, those who had experienced the Great Sea didn't care about such things. Those who liked the reward or were in awe because of Roman wouldn't leave his side for numerous reasons. Now they were in a pit from which they couldn't escape. They were too scared of leaving Roman, they didn't want the man who possessed the power to change everything, to be their enemy.

Such a person was Baek Jung-hyeok and now Roman Dmitry.

Roman's remarks were quite shocking to Lucas, after thinking that his life has completed changed when Roman has shared little bit of his knowledge.

And now Lucas instinctively knew how to act.

"According to the command of master, I will create the best intelligence guild on the continent."

Lucas had completely thought about it, if he get something his worth, he was ready to do anything.

This was a very reasonable deal for him, things were pretty much cleared up.

Now it was only matter of time, after proving that work efficiency has increased by increasing the safety of workers, and when the budget comes in, the people of Roman will slowly form a huge information network.

Just like the Lower District Sect of Moorim, Roman would create a network of tens of thousands of people. Although weak in the initial stages, Roman believed that the method he had chosen would turn out right in the end.

Roman headed to the iron mine next day. He didn't stop just because he got what he wanted from there.

Roman was determined that it was necessary to observe future developments by himself and planned to continue working there for another week.

However when Roman appeard in the iron mine, the workers of the iron mines were enthusiastic.

"Young Master Roman!"

'Young Master!'

"Thank you so much, Young Master!"

Numerous people rushed out and greeted Roman.

They all had heard the news, not only did Roman Dmitry save the worker, but he also agreed to actively solve safety issues in the future by confronting his father Baron Romero.

It was only one day, but the news had struck Dmitry.

People who had prejudices against Roman before, now looked up to Roman like he was a hero.

Among them, there was also the father of the man who he had saved in the accident accident.

"Young master. Thanks you Young Master for rescuing my son, my only son was spared because of you. I don't know how to repay this gratitude. Thank you very much. If Young Master needs my strength in the future, I will give my life to pay back your gratitude no matter what."

[ He was an ordinary man, his face was sunburned, and his face were full of wrinkles.

He was one of the many people living in Dmitry.

The person who had never had anything to do with Roman looked at him and said he was truly grateful. ]

Roman looked at the man and smiled and didn't say any word.

He was a demon who dyed Moorim with blood, but he was also human.

He had to reign in order to survive, and he accepted the fate of being the son of a heavenly demon and accomplished the achievement of subjugating Moorim.

Baek Jung-hyuk's subjugated Moorim it was also because of the people who followed him who supported back in this process.

Ignoring those who calculated their profits before meeting him, Baek Joong-hyuk realized his decision wasn't wrong when people with pure heary, like in the current moment, thanked him.

"Thank you." Now somehow, he wanted to say that.

From that day onward, Dmitry's people's attention turned towards Roman.

Naturally, such a situation put Baron Romero into some deep trouble.
