Roman went to the Blacksmith Shop today.
Lax thought Roman was there to inspect the work and was ready to report to him.
But unexpectedly, the Lord grabbed a forging hammer from a Blacksmith Apprentice and started using it himself, leaving the apprentice bewildered and standing aside, watching Roman swing the hammer.
There was a clang!
The red-hot iron ingot became somewhat deformed under the hammer's impact.
"Ah, this..."
Lax was completely stunned.
It felt as though the hammer was striking not the iron ingot but his own head.
I know you want me to train qualified blacksmiths because you have a lot of work, so you let them compete with me, but did you really have to do it yourself?
Lax was very confused and watched as Roman swung the hammer several times.
Each strike was forceful, sending sparks flying.
Roman said, "Lax, how do you think I'm doing?"
Lax replied honestly, "I don't think it's quite suitable."
"That's true, I'm still a novice in blacksmithing."
