Chapter 34-1

Chapter 1) Nodulle’s Suffering

“O…uch, ther…e are no p…arts of my b…ody t…hat i…sn’t in p…ain . ”

Weed opened his eyes in the morning . His whole body was throbbing due to the Black Disease and he didn’t have his usual power .

“S…tat window . ”

“I r…eally s…eem to be dy…ing . ”

Weed currently only had enough vitality to slightly move his body . But he couldn’t really walk through the forest to another village to obtain a cure!

Then a bush growing nearby caught Weed’s eye . He had come into the territory of the kobolds to sleep so the area he rested in had many bushes .

‘Those are… . ’

He could see various types of herbs . Weed’s spirit became clear like he saw money that fell down .

‘Nodulle also survived in a similar situation . Then there is clearly a way . ’

It was a hopeless situation but Nodulle used every type of method to live . Weed had planned to use the Sands of Time to see Nodulle’s action in the past . But now he didn’t need the Sands of Time .

The moment he saw the herb, he realized what Nodulle did .

-Local diseases can be treated when several common herbs are combined . Many cures can be produced and the residents can win against the disease .

That was written on the piece of paper he found in the old mansion on Borota Island! Weed pulled out the piece of paper with trembling hands .

There were dozens of local diseases written down . The reason he obtained this piece of paper was probably because of the Black Disease .

‘Black Disease . Black Disease… . ’

He came into the forest already so it wasn’t hard to find the ingredients needed for the Black Disease cure . He put them in a bowl, grinded them together and placed it to his mouth .

Ddiring!

Weed shook as he waited for the medicine to kick in .

‘It will be unfortunate if I die from such a thing . I’ve almost learnt all the secret techniques only to die in vain from the Black Disease . ’

The negative thoughts that frequently entered! A swamp was cold and damp so it was an easy place to become ill . However once his vitality, strength and level rose, he didn’t pay attention to illnesses anymore . If he was level 50 then this disease wouldn’t be enough to take his life .

Weed had desperately struggled on a turbulent sea during a storm for several days without getting symptoms of a cold . Yet he got the Black Disease during the final secret sculpting technique quest and his survival was at risk . It was lucky that he hadn’t thrown away Nodulle’s piece of paper .

‘I couldn’t engage in business . Maybe that was a fortunate thing . It is like an employee embezzling money that caused a building to collapse, making the redevelopment team be fired… . ’

“T…his is t…he r…ight m…edicine . ”

He was sick so the only thing he could do was eat and sleep . And after a while, a message window popped up .

Ddiring!

Weed was grateful to survive .

He had safely completed another step of the final secret sculpting technique quest . But despite getting over the Black Disease, his stat window showed that he was still Nodulle and level 37 .

“W…hat is g…oing to ha…ppen now?”

A message window showing a new quest appeared .

Ddiring!

‘There isn’t even one good condition . ’

Weed was hungry so he ate beef jerky . His body was recovering so he didn’t need to worry about kobolds .

He had enough mana to briefly use Sculpting Blade . It wasn’t possible to show off the power of a level 40 but it was enough to defeat the kobolds . But he had no confidence about saving Hilderun from the Portu King .

“I don’t know the internal structure and defence system . Seo-yoon said it as a tower but I don’t know the precise one she is trapped in . Getting permission to access it is impossible . ”

The Black Disease was healed and he was recovering his vitality while thinking out loud .

“Right now, Seo-yoon and I aren’t at the standard to even defeat one Royal Knight . ”

Common sense was required to solve even the most basic of quests! Even if he knew the full structure before Seo-yoon died, it was impossible for him to break in and take her out .

“Do I have to give up here? Then I might be able to take care of my life . ”

If he gave up the quest then Weed and Seo-yoon could return to their original time zone alive . This was currently the wisest path .

The difficulty of the final secret sculpting technique quests was incredibly high . He had built up numerous skills and stats but now he couldn’t even take advantage of it .

“It is a lie that hard work and effort is enough in this world . As expected, community leaders and politicians are experts in lying!”

He released his stress by blaming other people . It was difficult so he thought about the Sands of Time again . He was interested in how Nodulle and Hilderun’s story continued . Surely they didn’t become frustrated and end here .

“I have to try it out . If a difficult quest like this has a time limit then I can’t wait any longer . ”

Weed took out the pouch that contained the Sands of Time .

“Sands of Time!”

??????????????????????????

Nodulle created the cure near Boden vllage and ate it immediately . And the next morning, he requested help from nearby villages and nobles to rescue Hilderun .

“It is futile . Your woman is as good as dead so you should just give up . ”

“You are crazy . Why should the Count meet you?”

“I don’t want to hear anymore . I don’t want to be dragged to a battlefield!”

They heard his story but none of the villagers, nobles or guards showed interest . Nodulle looked for people to help but there was no one . Naturally it was impossible for nobles protest against the Portu King . A world where justice had collapsed!

Nodulle was frustrated but a chance came after one week . The hostile country the Raum Kingdom invaded the Portu Kingdom . The Portu King led the military to the battlefield to fight . And Nodulle used that chance to rescue Hilderun .

It was good if he could rescue Hilderun safely but the knights were protecting the place where she was staying . In addition, the Portu King returned earlier than expected after being defeated by the Raum Kingdom .

The magicians of the Raum Kingdom used their skills to block the King’s black magic while the Portu Kingdom’s army was defeated . The Portu King barely returned alive with the soldiers while the Raum Kingdom immediately surrounded them .

The day when the palace was collapsing and burning . Nodulle headed towards the place where Hilderun was kept . The Royal Knights and soldiers were on the verge of death around him .

While siege weapons and magic were breaking down the castle, Nodulle moved through the collapsed walls, rubble and fire .

??????????????????????????

“Ah, that really is terrible suffering . ”

Weed was full of admiration . And he repented .

“I thought I was unlucky and experienced a lot of crises but I wasn’t really suffering . ”

He lived an ordinary life like a library employee when compared to Nodulle . Looking at the video was like watching an action and thriller movie . It was a situation where the protagonist was about to die but someone survived .

Nodulle had almost died at least 17 times retrieving the key, reaching the tower and getting Hilderun out .

“How impressive . The problem is that I need to be in Nodulle’s position to solve the quest . ”

Weed wasn’t excited about it . He grasped the terrain and tower where Seo-yoon was trapped due to Nodulle’s behaviour . It was considered an impregnable fortress in the Portu Kingdom in this time . The region was steep and it was a natural fortress .

If he made even the slightest mistake then this weak body would fail the quest . In fact, it was a miracle that Nodulle lived until he reached the tower . It seemed impossible but he somehow managed it .

Escaping from Portu with Hilderun was an entirely different problem . Although they had met up with each other, it was hard to escape from the collapsing castle .

“There is another fundamental problem . ”

Weed wasn’t Nodulle . If he made a small error while repeating the past then unexpected circumstances could occur . Even if he imitated Nodulle, there was no guarantee that everything would happen exactly the same .

A piece of ceiling might collapse on him when Weed passed or he might encounter a Royal Knight that Nodulle hadn’t . It was impossible to align every behaviour with the correct time . It was possible to consult the video but that didn’t mean he could repeat the actions!

“It isn’t easy to handle even knowing this . And I also gained new information about the Sands of Time . Inspect!”

A bit of information about the item was added .

“I can bring goods or people… . hrmm . ”

Weed was currently alone so he felt like this quest had no possibilities at all . So far he had overcome countless difficulties so if there was a slight degree of hope then he should try it .

“No matter how well prepared I am, the chance of success is low . I have no choice but to use the Sands of Time . Sands of Time!”

Watching Nodulle save Hilderun was useful . But he needed a rise in power to solve the fundamental problem .

“I will return to my original time . ”

The Sands of Time gushed out from the leather pouch and filled the air . After a while, the still grass, trees and forest completely changed .

‘I have returned to my original time . ’

The forest was filled with other users .

“Oh, it is too hard to collect a set of kobold weapons . ”

“I’ve already tried 7 times and if it isn’t possible this time then I’ll give up . ”

“I told you that it would be better to buy new steel weapons at the stores . ”

A party consisting of 4 users was talking while walking .

“But I can’t . I need to collect a lot of money to pay for that . ”

“Shall we go to Kantul Dungeon?”

“Yes . It is best to raise our level there . ”

The Kantul Dungeon was very popular among beginners in the Lasalle Kingdom .

‘This is the land of the Haven Empire . ’

The Haven Empire had expanded and Weed was now in their territory .

“Hello . ”

“Yes, hello . ”

“Would you like to go hunting together?”

“Nope . Right now I’m taking the road to the city . ”

“I wish you a good day . ”

“Yes . Have fun hunting . ”

Weed exchanged light greetings and walked past them . No one would think that a person inside the kobold’s hunting ground was Weed .

‘There’s only one person who will be really useful . ’

Weed sent a whisper to Yurin .

-Little sister, do you want pizza tonight?

-I understand . Wait there .

Yurin was quick and noticed what he wanted without needing to explain . She was aware that he wanted her to use Picture Movement .

??????????????????????????

“Huhuhu, this dungeon hunt . It isn’t too hard!”

Pale quietly shot his bow in the underground pit . He had specifically ordered high strength arrows for today .

The steel arrows were 20 times more expensive but the penetration, accuracy and range couldn’t be compared to normal arrows .

“Each one is worth 15 gold? The arrows are too expensive . ”

“It is literally high strength . Only a few blacksmiths can create these arrows . They are busy making these orders all day . It is hard for even Mapan to obtain it . ”

“Even so… . ”

“What about the others? Pale-nim is cultivating and selling land… . If you find it difficult then purchase it later . ”

“I’ve brought it intentionally . ”

“Well, I’m trying to sell 2,000 arrows so I’m forced to take a little damage . ”

“That much isn’t necessary… . I’ll buy it . ”

“If you buy everything then I’ll reduce it to 1 gold . ”

So 2,000 arrows were purchased!

Pale felt like he was firmly hit in the back of the head but he believed in Mapan . He didn’t pay close attention to money transactions in the past but he didn’t want to order unnecessary goods . But Mapan’s thick belly showed that he was a successful merchant .

“Money is always needed once you level up . ”

However, it would be okay if he succeeded in this quest .

The Niflheim Empire!

The marks of its former glory were left in the north . The residents submitted to the Arpen Kingdom so reconstructing the Niflheim Empire had become impossible .

While gathering information about a quest, Pale heard about archers from the Niflheim Empire who caused a fierce wind when firing a bow . Thus he proceeded with the quest to learn the skills .

“Lightning struck the valley . It is scary going alone . ”

Surka had obtained lightning resistant clothes and ornaments in advance . A thorough preparation for the quest!

She had received a special request from the Monk Guild .

“I often hear your names these days . Be proud of your power as a monk . Every time lightning strikes the valley during a full moon, a monster will appear…it would be great if you could catch it . I will give your these shock resistant gloves as compensation . ”

It was possible to get equipment from the request . Romuna entered the deep mountains to raise her fire magic .

“I’m bored in the mountains . If I see a monster then I will burn it to death!”

Irene gave out blessings and treatment in a city . Her level and faith had risen so she could get a position in a religious society . Along with her rise in statue in the religious society, she was dispatched to follow paladins and heal them .

While Weed was proceeding with his quest, his other colleagues were developing .

Although Pale and Surka could challenge the Master Quest, they didn’t proceed with starting it . They had seen other people doing the Master Quest and it wasn’t a joke . They could challenge the Master Quest but they were still far from reaching master level in the skill so they decided to defer it . It would become much easier once other people completed the Master Quest .

And Hwaryeong . She took pride in slowly increasing her charm through music and dance in Morata .

“The Royal Road themed album . I want songs that contain the feel of adventure and combat . ”

“Do we have to do this?”

The producers had a headache . They had composed most of the songs on the album yet Hwaryeong wanted to change the feeling of the music .

“Won’t that affect your image? So far you’ve sung about love between men and women and now you want to change the feeling?”

“Music has no boundaries . There is also music in Royal Road . And a few songs are played by instruments in Royal Road . So please contact the best musicians . ”

Bellot was recently case as the main heroine in the drama .

She was cast as a sweet, innocent, pretty but poor girl! Men liked that type .
