Volume 4 Chapter 1 (2/2)
“Jade for 40 please”
Only Mapan could buy jewels With the accounting skill, a better deal could be possible, resulting in buying at a cheaper price However, if you attempted to drop the price down too excessively, the deal could be canceled
When that happened, the exchange oould not do a business transaction with you for a maximum of ten days, so it was necessary to pay attention
Weed saw that Mapan was finishi+ng the bargain
“The price for the jade is 760 gold Are you sure you want to buy it?” “Uhm… Can’t you cut the price further?”
“This is the limit with my skills”
Weed’s hands trembled and shi+vered as they entered his pockets Then 800 in gold coins caave the money to purchase the jewels to the seller and passed the change and jewels back to Weed
“Where do we go now?”
“To Falcon village to get soold, then, after going to the coalofthese special iteh, the fortune he had had dwindled, and his innocent old was all that had been left
His forly conserved, ran out in what seedom of Briton, beyond the mountains of Bar Khu, the price for jeas at least 25 higher than on this side of the inal profit froe aoods was purchased
“But are you all right?”
Every time Weed moved to a town to buy the specialty ite
In the lances were thrown at Weed; eventually he chose and drew out a growing root He picked up his backpack and transferred what he had worked hard for into his bag He did it with a pleased s?”
Mapan could not resist his curiosity, Weed’s ansas simple
“You mean this? I pulled out an herb”
“If it’s an herb…”
“I learned Herbal Medicine, the terrain here is steeper and there are a lot of medicinal plants”
Mapan sed his breath
“Oh!”
His idol Weed’s profession was finally revealed to be the worst and ed this person too wrongly!”
Death Knight of the undead were have came from will listen solely because loot just assu all your!
(Wasn’t sure how to approach and transcribe this It is pretty e actions Sort of like: “You trickedall this crap” Could be entirely wrong though, so if you have any thoughts/changes feel free to say it Possibly can also suggest Mapan thinks Weed is holding out on him)
Mapan had listened to weed solely because he had been holding the loot of high level hts (Best I could do as given to me to ith)
Fortunately, it couldn’t be picked up just anywhere Even though the chances were slih to barely consider the thought
However, Mapan was still a man A man who believed in justice and providence
Thanks to Weed, he had gained h the loot he had sold he had obtained a lot of skills and ht the jewels at a reasonable price and raised his skills even further
This situation had not really been that bad at all, so there was no need to cancel his decision in partnershi+p
“As a man once said, you cannot turn back on your path!”
Mapan worked hard to buy the specialty items
Weed’s capital was not that much, so the priority was to buy food, such as olive oil or cheese Those iteh profits in transactions, but as a stable low-risk incorocery transactions was to buy large quantities separately at cheaper prices loading theon was absolutely necessary for a old, however the horse had been too expensive, so he bought a near dead s he had had this whole tiot help froeneral store to put his herbs in, which could hold 20 tiht by a quarter
Weed and Mapan could now be seen as full-fledged peddlers
Bar Khu Mountains
The e was located between the southern part of Rosenheidom of Briton Both countries bordered them, but they were called the paradise for ed terrain!
Here both nations had arh the dodoue because of all the monsters
Ku Oh-oh!!
The horrible sound ascended, resonating out of the Bar Khu e
It was the roar of a fierce ani anih screams were audible
As expected because of its reputation, it really was the paradise for eon le Finally, the on Weed and Mapan road in
Lycanthropes Werewolves were around level 100 monsters The Lycanthrope variant was known to some extent to be at level 150 Of course, in these mountains they were the lowest in the food chain Because of this, they were pushed out of the heart of the mountains and infest places like the ones Weed and Mapan were currently traveling through
Like dogs, Lycanthropes often traveled in packs Even now, over 10 appeared at once
That roar a while back see sound of these Lycanthropes
Discovering prey in their hunting grounds was the reason for their howling
Sitting on the chair in the wagon, Mapan was restless
“Oh no, they all appeared, more importantly what do we do!? Hey Weed, Weed you said that you will handle this”
However, in theknife hard from aside the assistant driver’s seat
Zahab’s carving knife This unique ite any sculptor could only wish for in their drearain of the wood, a sculpture was created
The lycanthropes approached slowly Even as they appeared they resembled wolves, with the exception of the head which had a huray hair was full of s or worse; at the end of the attack, they undoubtedly changed back
<tbody>
Proficiency in the handicraft skill has been improved
Intermediate level of handicraft skill is 4
The ability to use hand tools and an additional 5 increase to all stats
</tbody>
When the Intermediate level in the handicraft skill rose by 1, the ability was enhanced by 5 across all stats After having absolved the beginner course at the training hall, a 3 increase was given by itself When you think about it, the effect could be extremely increased; however, it was even more difficult to raise the skill level
“That was quite fortunate”
Just prior to this, Weed had gone to extre wood sculptures to elevate his expertise in sculpture mastery by 15
After all, there had been plenty of branches and foliage It took time to ith a piece of wood from ancient trees, and these were also very difficult to obtain Considering the thousands of years they had lived, to be able to render such a tree, it was more difficult than expected
Weed’s sculptures were almost as lifelike as they could possibly be You did not have to be satisfied with the degree of decently made sculptures
Sculpture occasionally rose in quality surprisingly well too, though it did not really create ained intermediate mastery considerably fast, he was at 15 of his level Just as the skill increased, the abilities were also enhanced
“Look above, Weed!”
Mapan’s face was full of tears As with the day before yesterday, Weed put away the carving knife Instead he took out the black sword and listened This was the clay shich had the cold attribute!
“Do not sit down for too long, it is satisfying to work, yet it is also good to relax and stretch the body a little bit right? It is a pity we missed the transforroup here shouldn’t be the only Lycanthropes living in the Bar Khu Mountain range”
Weed watched the lycanthropes personally
It would have been good to see the transformation process in order to better create a sculpture of them
They seemed to not only have one type of appearance, so he should be able to produce a sculpture step-by-step so that the skill could rise Weed got off the wagon and held his clay sword, Mapan let out a screa to fight with that sword?”
Mapan was freaked out to see a clay sword of all things!
Because of arduous hunting in Levias, the durability of the clay sword had easily dropped alrabbed quite a lot of equiph the black sas still only made out of clay
He had to use these low durability weapons exclusively, since the axes and maces he received were a pain to wield
Also, the Death Knight’s weapons and clothes had a requirement for the user to be over level 200, so Weed did not have much of a choice as to which weapon he could use
People did not hunt alone in isolated places due to preference Whenever the clay sword broke, it was replaced, which he had done dozens of times
In the roup exceeded over 20 members
Mapan saw that their faces were completely black Weed put the sword away
As descendants of wolves, lycanthropes were said to be peerlessly brave They kicked hard at the ground, springing up, and roaring wildly
Keuahang!
The lycanthropes let out a bestial roar!
Do the battlefield with it, the old mule was terrified and ran rareat speed, so escape wouldn’t be possible
It was then…
“Khan heng!”
Exploding out of Weed’s mouth burst forth an intense cry Dust rose, the dry leaves piled on the ground cracked, cru Even the branches seemed to tremble, as if they were about to break
The roar overwhelly swept away those who heard it
<tbody>
Skill: You have used Lion’s Roar
1 rise in the proficiency of the Lion’s roar skill! Lion’s Roar current skill: level 1, at 1 As the skill level rises, the power increases
</tbody>
The lycanthropes hesitated, turning their heads feeling troubled after the roar Weed did notthem doith his fists
“Form a circle!”
A complete )
Weed prorinded the lycanthropes to dust!
It was a great change frohts; level 100 lycanthropes could not even be considered enemies It’s said that as they nue but that was all talk The horrifying lycanthropes rushed towards Weed
“Seven celestial steps!”
Kicking off the ground, they ran at hi his footwork skill, using the battle to rehearse it
Until now, the skill was not his chosenfootwork
The footwork in Royal Road was quite peculiar
In the ree direction while running would be impossible in reality That was due to the law of inertia However, with this step skill, you could achieve the i a sprint you could switch to the opposite direction, the instant rate of acceleration to reach that speed was almost invisible to the naked eye
As the naes, instantly twisting in any direction while running, or possibly dropping in speed suddenly, appearing to vanish
The value of this skill hat you would expect to be demonstrated from a superior 1st rate martial arts
“Seven celestial steps!”
Although the lycanthropes ca through the ene Dipper?), he changed directions instantaneously and created vague after ies
Illusions!
As usual, the lycanthropes attacked the illusions Outside of the encircling net, Weed reversed the charge Each tirey fur, a lycanthrope turned to ash
The Bar Khuwith monsters! The worst word to describe them would have been tranquil They certainly were not
“Khan heng!”
“WOAH!”
The tree
Weed had just used Lion’s Roar!
In order to improve his proficiency with his Lion Roar skill, Weed yelled, co the skill whenever aechoed because of Weed Most people would have already been sick of all the ht otherwise
Experience and s of ht, which Weed liked; a place like this truly felt like home to hieon, there’s got to be!”
The southwestern part of the es it ht have been; however, other users didn’t intentionally seek out monsters
Rather than to focus on that, he placedart had also left Weed the swordsreatly enhanced Weed’s danored enemy defenses and resistance; as the skill increased, the power did as well
Eive life to sculptures behind!
The sculptures would love the her art stats were required for this powerful skill, until then, further growth is needed to complete it This was the skill that allowed Eiven to sculptures, under any circumstance Weed would absolutely follow that !”

Give life to sculptures: the skill that Emperor Geihar left behind for his successor, the parts of this technique is unknown
Limitations: Can only be used with Advanced Sculpture mastery
Skill requirements: Mana 5000 Art Stat 10 (permanent consumption) Level decreased by 2
CAUTION!
Sculptures are unique ite personalities and a sense of pride When they see another sculpture identical to theht it to prove who’s superior
</tbody>
In order to use this skill, you first needed to get to a high skill level in sculpture mastery, which was still even farther away than the a (Not sure if its correct like that, sounds kinda weird to ive life to a sculpture, art stat points were consu you couldn’t indefinitely repeat this
“The requirements of this skill are ridiculous At least itknife technique and the skill to grant life to sculptures, techniques left by two Master Sculptors, were this powerful, Weed could i three skills would be In addition, he thought, what about after obtaining the five skills and ?
Weed had had the opportunity to becoonizing he had given up the chance and had reht sculptor
He could learn skills relatively quickly through handicraft and pieces of art, which even benefitted swordsmanshi+p But even this would not be able to ht’s swordsh there was a chance, but to take it, one had to take the e of the opportunities that presented the life to sculptures and even the engraving sword skill! While si skills
[I also have to obtain the final non-sculpting (note: not too sure, but I think this )]”
“I also have to reach the highest level in every other crafting skill” (this was the best I could co skills would affect everything
When no monsters appeared, Weed sat with Mapan and sculpted Hescenes with monsters or the surreal landscapes and its trees!

Intermediate sculpture skill has risen to level 3
Sculptures well mere delicate and detailed

Finally, inter skill level rose to level 3
After this, Weed took out the emeralds, pearls and jade that he had purchased fro?”
Halfway through the e, Weed had abruptly pulled out a blue jewel, Mapan’s face showed his confusion He had no doubt that the reason wasn’t to boast in his wealth, and certainly not to share the geems?”
But Mapan then found himself surprised because of Weed’s next action He had started shearing the geh!”
Mapan unwittingly felt like screa full well their worth He knew it far too well
Those were soemstones ly high Without hesitation Weed continued to carve the jewels surface with his carving knife
“What…what have you…?”
Just before he attempted to stop Weed’s actions, Mapan’s eyes widened in surprise, because the geradually carved little by little
The degree of the etching wasn’t even visible unless you looked at it very carefully The way the ge from it deepened
Mapan watched blankly as Weed’s hands continued to move
“It’s beautiful!”

With Zahab’s carving knife every tries to its form, while Mapan watched the process with aded froem worth a fortune
“Maybe all of those jewels can becoeous?”
Weed’s Inter it possible to ith gems and other special materials
By default, skill and dexterity were needed to forems
It was still too early to do this, even with having reached inter in his handicraft skill Zahab’s engraving knife was a truly a unique treasure for a sculptor!
Through it the requirement had been met and the jeorked into beautiful objects influenced by Weed’s art stat
Weed’s art stat was currently near 300 The occupation of legendary ave a +100 for the art stat, and for every created sculpture that was placed as a masterpiece, it would steadily rise
Because his art stat was astonishi+ngly high all sorts of effects could be granted to his work
“This nuood…!”
Mapan’s body trembled and shi+vered
This was because of what he i and selling the raw gedom of Briton would yield a small profit However, ould happen if Weed faceted those gems and sold them? Also, if the jeorked with the utraver, how uess the possibilities!”
Mapan fell into a deep silence that he refused to break He was also carefully driving the wagon, so as to not interfere with the work of the faceting
It was deceptive to think of the effects of sculpting caused froh sculpture ended up stunningly beautiful, food beca to the eye, and proved to be evenwere very much indebted to his intermediate level in his handicraft skill (dexterity) This skill was showing itself to be truly worth the work to raise it
