Two days later, Kim Sae-Jin headed to the local post office in the afternoon to collect the money for the sabre he submitted to the Blacksmiths tournament.

He entertained the idea of showing up proudly but then decided to go while wearing a hood and a robe. He figured that if his identity was discovered, it would cause quite a bit of inconvenience for him. After all, the method he used to craft his weapons was definitely out of common sense and therefore not something he could show to other people.

"Yes. The confirmation…. has been completed."

As soon as Sae-Jin entered the correct identification password, the post office worker behind the counter handed over a tightly sealed box. Even during all that, the worker tried his best to take a peek at Sae-Jin’s face without getting noticed. Most likely because of the word ‘ORK’ written on the box.

Since he found the actions of the worker bothersome, Sae-Jin hastily escaped the post office and returned home.

"A letter?"

After sitting down on the sofa and opening the sealed box, he found that there was only a single envelope stored inside.

"….Urk?"

Inside the envelope, he found a cheque with enough zeroes to make him mutter out in shock, as well as a letter written with sincerity and care. (TL: unfortunately, the pun here is lost during translation. "Urk" actually serves two distinct purposes here, one of shocked proclamation, as well as a term to denote a certain amount of money in Korea. 1 "Urk" Won = around $88000 US.)

[To Sir Honourable Blacksmith, The Orc’s Forge K.

Good day to you, sir. My name is Yu Sae-Jung, a low Mid Tier Knight from the Dawn Knights Order. Normally, it’s only a correct etiquette to greet you in person but you, the Honourable Blacksmith has requested to remain anonymous. Therefore, I hereby write to you these handful of words even though it can potentially become an irritant to you.

Firstly, we at the Dawn Knights Order wishes to purchase the weapon sent in by you, the Honourable Blacksmith, the Hotly Burning Flame Sabre. Once more, we are truly grateful for your unceasing toil and unrelenting effort to create such an amazingly useful product.

With my limited scope of understanding, I can’t even begin to fathom the lengths of anguish, agony and zeal you had to go through in order to craft such a weapon.

…

…

…

And that’s why we at the Dawn Knights Order and the Dawn Corporation dares to suggest to you a certain proposition.

If you, the Honourable Blacksmith wishes to continue with the crafting and selling of your products in the future, may we dare to ask for your opinion if it’s possible for us to gift you a small present, a smithy that has taken after your name, The Orc’s Forge?

Of course, we solemnly promise that all the rights to the smithy will be handed over to you, and will never interfere with its administration. Only that, we would be grateful if you, the Honourable Blacksmith thinks of us, the Dawn Knights Order every now and then, as we only wish to make the road ahead for the remarkably talented personage such as yourself as smooth and trouble-free as possible.

Please, give it your deep consideration, and give us a correspondence to the address I’ve written below.

Kind regards.

– The low Mid Tier Knight from the Dawn Order, Yu Sae-Jung.]
