Chapter 78
Upon entering the palace, Ming Hu thought about where the forge might be.
“You’re out of town, right?”
The forge, which is sure to be quite noisy, including the pounding of hammers, is unlikely to be located deep in the imperial palace.
Jumbled
Ming Hu started walking along the city walls.
“Is that so?”
“Yes!”
As Ming Hu was walking along the city wall, he spotted a soldier patrolling the wall in the distance. At the same time, the two soldiers spotted him and stopped walking.
Swoosh swoosh
Ming Hu was dumbfounded when the soldiers stopped walking abruptly, but then a little embarrassed when they bowed their heads in greeting.
But they weren’t the only ones; the soldiers he met afterward also bowed their heads in greeting as soon as they saw him.
Sensing something was wrong, Ming Hu pondered why his soldiers were behaving the way they were. Only one thing had changed.
“Is it the clothes?
It must have been the clothes. Or, more precisely, the dignity that the clothes raised. We don’t know much about dignity. However, it was clear from the soldiers’ reactions that it affected them in a good way.
That was the moment.
Bam! Bam!
-Uh…um..
From up ahead came the sound of hammers striking metal and the shouting of words.
“Found.”
Ming Hu smiled and began to run at a brisk pace toward the front, where the forge would be.

Nerfai, the head of the court’s smiths, was walking around the forge, making adjustments.
