8) Great Emperor’s Quest





Weed raised his level to 422 through hunting in the desert .

It was unbelievable quick growth but he benefited from the dungeons’ double experience and diligent hunting .

Time Sculpting reached beginner level 6 . He didn’t get this result until 3 Magnum Opus emerged .

“Hmm, the skill really doesn’t climb quickly . ”

It wasn’t easy dedicating himself to sculpting while recovering his lost levels .

“It would be good if there was a big reward at the end of the quest . ”

Occasionally they would visit the thriving cities around the oases and rivers in order to sell the loot .

“You’ve brought a lot of good items . It is my pleasure to transfer it over to warriors . ”

“How much are you willing to buy that necklace made of ivory for?”

“It is ivory so it will be at least 800 gold . ”

“In this situation, it is worth an extra 200 gold . I have already processed it . ”

“It is really great handiwork . I admit that the price is correct . Let’s continue to trade in the future . ”

Weed was friendly with the merchants in the desert cities . The prosperous desert city had a completely different culture from cities in the Central and Northern Continent .

The strong warriors walked around showing their naked upper bodies . Water, cigarettes and art were luxury goods at the market .

Weed had left several sculptures in the desert cities that still remained intact . Traces of the Pallos Empire still remained . Various valuables looted on the Central Continent had been traded for precious metals .

“The population is increasing but there is a limitation to economic growth . ”

Weed sighed as he walked around the desert city . He had been looking forward to the continued development of the desert areas .

However, the nature of the desert meant it wasn’t convenient for farming or mining development . The cities also had to be built along oases and rivers .

In the past, the falling rain had made the desert area fertile but a lot of that water had dried up . There were the infested ruins of many abandoned land and cities .

Specialty crops were grown while food like rice, wheat and barley were brought to them . Nomads wandered around raising sheep and camels .

Traces of the Pallos Empire could be seen at the market but goods weren’t very expensive .

“It is hard to live . The typical problem of youth unemployment hasn’t been overcome . The desert warriors need to hunt in order to return the money . Only the mercenary industry remains . ”

He could hear countless stories as he walked around the desert city .

“Are you interested in the treasures of the Pallos Empire? You can hear the information for 2,000 gold . ”

Treasures of the empire!

Python and the nameless man were tempted but Weed and Pale didn’t care . They knew that the treasures of the Pallos Empire were buried somewhere in the north . The problem was finding the treasure and determining its value . There were people excavating the treasure in the north right now .

“Uhh, Great Emperor Weed of the desert . The children of the desert grew up hearing his legend every day . My mother talked about him every night . ”

“About what?”

Weed wondered if his reputation had changed .

“The Great Emperor of the desert is a person who causes blood to flow . He left after advancing the desert into the continent . He founded the Pallos Empire during what we call the golden age of the desert . ”

“A really brilliant person . ”

Weed had a smile of satisfaction as he walked through the desert city . Hearing praise about himself wasn’t that bad . It was rare for users to visit the desert city .

The new history meant the southern desert was prosperous compared to other areas . Even so, the area next to it was the Central Continent where the weather was less hot .

It was a place where users with a lower level than Weed’s hunting party couldn’t be seen . But every once in a while, they would see other users .

It wasn’t easy to reach a city near the Desert of Tranquility . The difficulties meant that only high level adventurers and warriors came here .

“You look like a fairly experienced adventurer . Wouldn’t you like to find a hidden legacy sleeping in the desert? There isn’t anything difficult . It won’t risk your life . ”

The senior citizens of the city would occasionally say to Weed . It was a quest to find Weed’s legacy from his past life in the desert .

“That’s okay . ”

“I won’t be the only one talking about it . There are various tribes scattered across the vast desert . If one of them finds the trail of the Great Emperor then all the wealth, honour and power……”

“I have no interest!”

The quest would be a long challenge . There was a high chance of something scary happening while completing the quest . He had some outstanding achievements during the final secret sculpting technique quest .

The secrets of the desert . Valuable assets like information about monsters, traces of cities and burial places of warriors could be bought .

However, he needed to concentrate on raising his level because the fight against the Haven Empire was coming .





-The Haven Empire’s army has crossed the Peshil River .

-The northern users tried some ambushes but couldn’t cause any damage .

-The Haven Empire’s army is like a poisonous gas . They devastated an entire area of the north with magic .

-They are 10 kilometres away from the Earth Palace . If the soldiers move quickly then they can arrive within 2~3 hours .

-Those guys have stopped advancing and are assembling siege weapons . There are 400 large siege weapons . It is enough to be seen with one glance . A grand sight!

Mapan gave regular reports about the current situation .

The threat of the army towards the Earth Palace was becoming increasingly serious .

After a few days, it was time to leave the desert .

“The day has finally come . ”

Weed lightly sighed .

He had a huge grudge against the Hermes Guild .

“This world is becoming increasingly tougher . The value of pork, fruit and electricity is all increasing . ”

He blamed the apple and pear prices rising on the Hermes Guild!

“It is a pity but I have to go to the Earth Palace . ”

Weed finally declared the termination of the hunt .

‘It finally ended . ’

‘This time it is truly over . I don’t believe it . ’

‘Yes . ’

Python, the nameless man and Pale’s expression stiffened even though they wanted to cheer . If they were too joyful then they might be forced to hunt again .

The first day was like hell but the next day was slightly better as Weed made his sculptures . Nevertheless, wandering between dungeons through the sand was one of their worst experiences .

The oldest person, Python cleared his throat and said .

“If you are busy then go . Now, let’s quickly return . ”

“Yurin will come in a moment . Be ready to leave before that . ”

They wandered the desert city and invested the money earned through hunting . They didn’t want to carry a lot .

That’s why they sold loot for jewellery, land, a house and even a shop . The housing prices in the desert cities were still affordable .

There weren’t a lot of people coming here currently so the profit was limited . But it contained the best hunting grounds . If they invested here then someday they would come back for hunting .

‘Never again . ’

‘I won’t go with him again . ’

‘I won’t live in the earth house . ’

Yurin arrived and they headed towards the Earth Palace .

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

Earth Shadow .

Unring, Ben and Elliks who made up the Versailles Continent’s top adventurer party started a quest at Valhalla Temple .

In the process, they exposed the Embinyu Church and gained great contribution .

The Embinyu Church was exposed to the world before they were completely ready and the various religions found and destroyed them .

Of course, the residents and other users were kept in the dark .

Finally, they found the fifth arm of the God Embinyu in Metapeia and destroyed it by throwing it in boiling lava .

“The Embinyu Church? What about them? Are they a poor group like us?”

“Uhh, the Embinyu Church…buy some bread before talking about them . They sound like a group that loves fish . ”

“The names Unring, Ben and Elliks? I’ve heard of them a long time ago . I don’t know what they are doing these days . Are they digging at the ground somewhere?”

Most signs of the Embinyu Church on the continent had disappeared . Adventurers who now had their adventures unknown felt severe frustration and injustice .

“Aigoo . We wasted a year for nothing . ”

“I’m glad that the Embinyu Church disappeared but it is like we did nothing . ”





“There will be other adventures so let’s have a good night’s sleep . ”

Earth Shadow decided to relax .

All the hunting and exploration during the Valhalla quest had made them sick . They wanted to spend some time relaxing and recharging .

“Do you want a camel?”

“Yes . Strong and fast ones would be good . ”

“The Bactrian Camel is the best in desert areas . The price is a bit expensive but they can go anywhere . ”

“Give it to me . ”

After completing the quest at Metapeia, the Earth Shadow were in the desert area . They tried to obtain camels to get out of the desert area .

“It is regretful that you are leaving . Well, do you want to listen to a story before you go?”

The feeling of an intense quest!

Unring was tired but he still had the habit of an adventurer . It wouldn’t hurt to hear the information . Even if it wasn’t important, they could trade it at other stores for cheaper goods .

“The people of the desert hasn’t forgotten one person . Sometimes I don’t know how we could live if it wasn’t for the Great Emperor Weed-nim . ”

“Ah, Weed-nim . ”

Unring said with disinterest .

Other users honoured Weed as an adventurer . He solved impossible quests and broke through any adversity .

The Arpen Kingdom might be pushed into a crisis due to Bardray but his personal combat skills on quests were recognized as the best .

Earth Shadow specialized in adventures so they thought about him bitterly .

They didn’t lack skills and believed they could attain a significantly higher achievement through the Vahalla quest . But the local residents were praising Weed everywhere .

Unring turned around .

“A waste of time . Come on . ”


Elliks and Ben’s expression wasn’t good .

They came to the desert in vain and now they had to listen to these words!

The camel trader said behind their backs .

“The Great Emperor’s greatest achievement was founding the Pallos Empire but those in the desert were more grateful for his creation of oases and rivers . Thanks to that, our parents and children living in the desert never ran out of water to drink .

“Yes yes, but we are busy so…”

“It was our lifeline . The Great Emperor’s legacy . That’s why the desert is now gripped in a very huge crisis . The oases and rivers are drying up . The desert tribes that were united have started to hate each other again . Soon the whole desert will be filled with blood . ”

Unring, Elliks and Ben stopped moving .

The feeling of an intense quest . The adventurer’s instinct meant they couldn’t leave without listening .

Unring turned around and said carefully .

“Will there be a big fight over the lack of water?”

A fight between the desert tribes meant there might be a war in the entire area . The population of the desert had increased quite a lot thanks to Weed’s adventure .

It was dangerous for users to act in the desert right now and the price of the commodities would rise .

“The camel’s footprints will eventually be completely erased by sandstorms . After the sun rises a few times, we will eventually be covered in sand . ”

“It would be nice if someone concedes . ”

“We aren’t fools . We are well aware that this fight will destroy all of us . It is difficult to abandon the cities and civilization will be wiped out . But we will be eliminated without any water . The resolve of the other tribes means there will now be war . ”

The experienced residents could hear the meaning behind their words .

‘A large scale . ’

‘Euum, this is a quest . ’

‘Is it a peace quest to stop the war and revive the desert tribes? It is simple yet difficult . ’

And they waited for the next words .

“There is only one way to prevent the war among the desert tribes . In the legend, the Great Emperor would appear again to unify the entire desert . ”

“Yes?”

“The Great Emperor left his legacy behind for the descendants to find . ”





Ben seemed to notice something and said .

“Those words are quite difficult . The value of the Great Emperor’s legacy must be enormous . ”

It was difficult to convert the value of the equipment Weed left behind in the warring period to money .

“The Great Emperor’s equipment and power was left in a very dangerous place . I heard a rumour that you shouldn’t go there unless you are willing to bet your life . ”

“…… . ”

“In an effort to prevent the war, many desert warriors are attempting the challenge to obtain the Great Emperor’s legacy . If they can obtain the knowledge and power of the Great Emperor, they can rule the desert . But this is a mission that only a pure and prestigious desert warrior can do . ”

“It is a little difficult . ”

The Earth Shadow group was puzzled .

A Weed related quest was a little worrisome in terms of difficulty but it was tempting . Finding special relics or money would be satisfying but the desert was a very large place for an adventure . But it seemed like this quest was only available to desert warriors .

Elliks asked .

“What is a desert warrior?”

He had no intention of switching professions but he wanted to know the information .

“Only men who grew up in the desert feeling the sun on their skin are qualified . ”

“So you aren’t looking for desert warriors to find the legacy . ”

“No . There are numerous desert warriors looking for a guide . ”

“By guide, do you mean a person who gives directions?”

“Right . The warriors have a lot of respect towards the Great Emperor . They are hoping for the rebirth of the Great Emperor to lead the desert tribes . . Will you help the desert warriors achieve their goal?”

Ddiring!

-Desert Warriors’ Assistant

There is a legend of a young warrior sleeping in the desert who woke up and ran into a mountain of sand and skeletons .

Long ago, the Great Emperor Weed led the desert warriors .

Help the desert warriors fight against the monsters in the sand mountain to pursue the achievements of a hero .

Warriors will follow a guide in dangerous situations .

Level of Difficulty: A

Compensation: Desert Warrior’s faith .

Can lead a large number of desert warriors depending on your performance .

Quest Restrictions: No limit on fame or level .

Must be completed within ten days .

Discovered the Great Emperor’s quest .

“It is a little tricky and long . We have to proceed on the quest while taking care of the desert warriors . ”

Elliks muttered a complaint but everyone felt like it was intriguing . A quest that would allow them to command desert warriors felt like fun .

Curious adventurers would never give up something like this .

“Let’s do it . ”

“Try it . ”

-You have accepted the quest .

Thus the desert warriors quest began .

Earth Shadow accepted the Desert Warriors’ Assistant quest and went to meet the desert warriors .

‘They are still young warriors . If I take care of them well then they can be the pillar of the desert . ’

However, the reality was a lot different from what they imagined . The desert warriors spat at them .

“What are you looking at? Keep your eyes away from me . ”

Tough and arrogant warriors filled with the spirit of the desert!

The desert warriors wouldn’t obey unless they showed off an overwhelming power so their true suffering began .

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

“It’s really cold . ”

-This is today’s weather . The current temperature is 6 degrees Celsius, the rain and wind speed of 4 metres per second makes the temperature feel lower……

“Shut up . Don’t answer unless I ask a question . ”

Yoo Byung-jin’s body was shaking from the cold .

Sitting on a bench with his hands in his pocket was the richest and most influential scientist in the world . The cold wind meant he couldn’t take his hands out of his pocket .

He sat on the wet, wooden bench as his bottom started to feel damp .

Yoo Byung-jin was currently in a park in New York to meet up with Bardray who was likely to be the first person to unify Royal Road .

Bardray was a French American . He regularly ran in the park at 5 a . m .

Yoo Byung-jin aligned their schedules so that they could meet by coincidence .

“Why the hell hasn’t he appeared yet?”

Yoo Byung-jin felt the cold seep into his bones . His head might think faster than any young person but his body was old .

The park was damp due to the rain falling at night, people were doing exercises and birds were chirping . He had endless thoughts as he sat on the bench in the park .

“I’m too old . ”

He devoted most of his life to Royal Road . Most of the world had mocked his childhood plan . Creating his own virtual reality that would give an individual enormous wealth and power .

Getting over loneliness had been the driving force behind the plan and he created a new technology from scratch .

It might be reckless but his tremendous plan was at its final stage . Meeting Bardray away from Royal Road was immensely important to Yoo Byung-jin .

He sat on the bench for a couple of hours . Bardray didn’t appear even after the sun rose .

Yoo Byung-jin shivered from the cold and asked .

“When is Bardray coming?”

-Is Doctor-nim asking a question?

“That’s right . ”

-Bardray isn’t exercising this morning . Currently he is on a plane to Las Vegas in order to meet with investors of the Hermes Guild in 1 hour and 20 minutes .

“…… . ”

He had been suffering several hours in the cold for nothing .

“Why didn’t you say anything if you knew?”

-Doctor-nim told me not to say anything until you ask a question .

Yoo Byung-jin lowered his head . He criticized himself for blaming the AI .

“When is Bardray coming back?”

-According to schedule, it should be 3 days later .

“Then I will come back .

? …… .

Yoo Byung-jin felt uneasy as the AI didn’t answer .

“Are you sure that Bardray is coming back?”

-The consultation to build the Hermes Company is almost over . They just need the final steps to seal the agreement so there is a 98 . 7% chance that he will return in 3 days .

“Well, it is like that . ”

Yoo Byung-jin was impressed every time by the convenience of the AI . It relieved human discomfort and instantly answered any questions .

But then Yoo Byung-jin suddenly felt a strange premonition .

“What aren’t you saying?”

? …… .

“You can talk even if there are no questions . ”

-It is about today’s weather . Currently a cloud is forming about the Mediterranean and is expected to bring about 60 millimetres more rain .
