Chapter 25-3
Weed was a person who had already learnt the five secret sculpting skills . Zahab showed admiration as he listened to the various stories of how Weed acquired his skills .
“Having inherited my sculpting skills and learning Daron’s sculpture transformation, creating spirits and even able to call disasters, amazing!”
By telling recollections of sculpting skills, fame increased by 469 . |
“To collect all 5 sculpting legacies that were created after the existence of the first sculpture, it’s truly a miracle . ”
Weed ate the potatoes till he was full and packed the rest into his backpack .
“But more importantly, the handmaiden in Rosenheim Kingdom wants to listen to the song you sang when you sculpted the moonlight before she departs . ”
The most important business that called him to Grapass! To learn the song from Zahab and singing it to the old handmaiden in Serabourg Citadel .
“Did such a thing occur? I was making sculptures here and never did go back to Rosenheim Kingdom… Well, since we are talking about sculptures, do you want to see mine?”
“Absolutely . I absolutely want to see them . ”
Weed as a sculptor obviously wanted to see Zahab’s masterpieces .
Perhaps there would be greater rewards here than the reward that the old handmaiden would give for completing the quest .
*****
Zahab led him to a cave behind the lake .
“This is my workshop . Go in and take your time . ”
Inside the cave, the trees, boulders and walls had sculptures on them . Flowers and moss grew, widely disfiguring some of them . Weed observed the biggest and the most stylish sculptures first .
You have observed, ‘Mankind’s Last Moment’ A piece made by the Master Sculptor Zahab . A scene of humans making a last stand as they fight against the monsters was sculpted . A sculpture that is extremely elaborate and minute in details, without high comprehension of sword skill it’s impossible to fully understand the piece . Regenerate health and mana 35% faster for one day . Warrior related skills improve by 2 levels . Fighting Spirit increased by 2 permanently . For 1 month, health increased by 450 . |
By observing the sculpture with great discerning eyes, mastery of sculpting skill increased slightly . |
Masterpiece sculpted near the entrance wall! The scene of 10 soldiers crumbling while fighting against the monsters in Grapass was vividly sculpted .
‘A Masterpiece… and that one is a fine piece . ’
Weed walked swiftly . Every time he observed a piece, his art stat and mastery in sculpting skill increased .
The workshop had over 70 different works ranging from Fine pieces, Masterpieces and Magnum Opus .
You have observed, ‘The Moon, the Stars and the Wild Flowers . ’ A piece made by Master Sculptor Zahab . This piece has been engraved on the ceiling and the floor of the cave . Animation of nature has been realistically portrayed . After completion, not much care has been given . |
By observing the sculpture with great discerning eyes, Affinity to Nature increased by 5 . |
There were nature sculptures as well .
“Seeing that you can’t take your eyes off that piece you must really like nature . ”
“Yes . I really love nature . ”
Weed was grinning evilly as he saw that the majority of the sculptures in the workshop were works that expressed nature . By increasing Affinity to Nature, the power of natural disaster sculpting became much stronger .
As Weed’s standards were high, even if these were sculpted by Zahab, his mastery in sculpting skill barely rose by 4 . 9% . Currently his skill was at advance level 8, 19 . 8% . Art stat increased by 137, with a variety of others skill also increasing by a bit .
The completed Masterpieces, Magnum Opus in the workshop of a master was much better than the ones found in Morata’s Art Center .
Sublime sculptures, delicate sculptures, graceful and elegant sculptures, and sculptures made from light that were shining brightly to great heights!
Zahab created things freely without a set theme or form .
“How is my sculpting testimony?”
“It’s admirable . It feels like all the outstanding sculptures of Versailles continent have gathered here . ”
The sculptures would all get a hundred points . It was not like the mass produced rabbits or foxes that Weed used to make to polish his skills . Every single one of these art works was created with heart and soul .
*****
“Ahem, wandering around like this is really great . ”
Geomchi stood on the fore of the ship . It was a fast boat that was currently heading toward the Northern continent .
The wind pushed against the wide open sails . As the ship was orientated for passengers, it did not have heavy cargo, so sailing speed was very fast .
“Getting fresh air from a different place is nice . ”
Sitting behind Geomchi were 5 early 20 year olds that were getting along with each other .
“The wind is really refreshing . ”
“This is the benefit of coming out to the sea . ”
“I heard that the number of passenger, freighter and adventure ships increased after Weed’s adventure . Looks like it was true . ”
While on the voyage, many other sailing ships could be seen . Even a romanticist was sailing with a sail full of holes!
The newcomers to the sea might not know, but the experienced seaman could feel the increased interest in the sea on their fingertips .
The harbour was crowded with noob captains and sailors . The sea was filled with the sight of sinking dinghies as they struck the reef . Weed gave them a simple taste of sailing, but it became a chance for the seasoned sailors to spread the charm of the sea to many .
Even if they weren’t fishermen or sailors, Royal Road allowed them to come to the sea whenever they wanted!
“Did you hear what happened to the 3 Mad Sharks of Becky Ninh that sailed with Weed? That Heint, Fractal and Bodomir?”
“What happened?”
“I heard Becky Ninh returned and is now operating a large pirate force . They are accepting every pirate and plundering every trade line without care…”
“They are truly evil . ”
“Yes . They are unspeakably evil people . ”
They applied Weed’s teachings imparted on them in their partings and became remorselessly evil .
But, pirating was a very poor profession . They could not step onto any harbour if their notoriety with that nation was high . When sighted by naval forces, they had to escape till their tails fell off, and on top of that, they only earned the ire of all the players .
They could not sell their loot at market price and more often than not were disposed of . They had to be aware all the time so it was hard and fatiguing work .
But the sea was wide and free . There was joy in adventures that only pirates could do .
*****
“Because of the war a lot of people are dying these days . ”
“Save yourself . Don’t join carelessly, the situation is about to explode . ”
“Just shut yourself quietly to a hunting ground . Levelling up is more beneficial right now . ”
The tavern Dark Gamers gathered at! They were resting with cider or beer in hand . As once they entered a hunting ground, they did not come out for a month and ten days . So taking the chance to enjoy themselves in the city was important .
Cooking skill was a necessity for Dark Gamers, but unlike Weed they did not learn it properly . They could only do simple grilling or boil meat . So for them, if they had access to beer and appetizers it was enough for them to unwind .
“When I entered the second dungeon…”
“The secret entrance is to the left of the fireplace and leads outside…”
They also shared high-end information .
The tavern’s location was the Brent Kingdoms capital Nehalles . The most active Dark Gamers gathered there so it was always crowded .
Clunk!
The tavern door opened and a player wearing a dazzling purple dress entered .
“When I was hunting then…”
“Next time I am thinking of crossing the Rozend route…”
The player’s conversation suddenly died down . The player that just entered was a dancer .
The dancer class that always needed dazzling clothes and accessories . Dancer was a hard class for Dark Gamers to choose as there was always a greater demand for battle optimized classes such as swordsman, warriors, mercenaries or magicians .
‘Must be a requestor . ’
She was beautiful, and looking at her equipment, she was high level as well . If so, the number of Dark Gamers that could receive a contract from her were few .
The dancer moved around each table and spoke softly in a voice that other players could not hear .
“My request…”
Before the content is known, the level, reliability of mercenary, the time required to complete the request was thoroughly checked .
And as the dancer was leaving, Bade, Pason, Yumero, April, Volk and Daerin followed after her . The best and the most active Dark Gamers of Bretten Kingdom went with her . As they left, the Dark Gamers resumed their conversation . Seeing as it was none of their business, no one really cared .
