Volume 3 Chapter 6 (1/2)

A Bad Cold

A single day…

Much too little ti for less than 1 gold coin”

“Looking to buy an unlimited number of herbs and food ht these itereat numbers

Mapan had left his party and Weed could understand the reason why

“I’o hunt in a faraway place for the quest”

“Congratulations, by the way, ao alone…”

“That’s too bad I wanted to go along with you…”

“It’s Difficulty Rank is B…”

“…Good luck Bye”

Mapan specialized in trading skills

Weed did not have the required skill to be awould have been a bad choice

He was too weak to keep up with him, so Weed headed to the Church of Freya for the rest of the day

Inside the church were the High Priest and the group of Paladins

“hello It is good that you have coh Priest finished his sentence

What were the odds alone? I thought High Priest Ossan was supposed to be a benevolent person (It either the high priests na heard that soh)

It was a staunch and dense situation, without the slightest opportunity to escape froive up the quest unless it was in the worst case possiblity with no return

However, the day before, the high priest had said:

“This is a very important quest I cannot predict the future of huent This could change for the worse in a matter of days”

Weed wanted to nod

Personal circumstances!

This could not be any worse

Depending on the circumstances that arise, he could very well never be allowed to coh Priest placed him in an even worse situation

“I founded this Church of Freya in this town I trust that you are the Hero of the legends and that you will find the relic as quickly as possible”

“What do you mean?”

“This time tomorrohen you arrive, a priest of this church will be at your command If you return with hier he has become Do not be anxious about tomorrow and ill see you soon”

“…”

Everything was set up so that he could not escape

Somuren Liberty City, with the liberty lost! It was now like a prison without bars

The Crown of Fargo had been stolen froet help from other players Weed was only allowed to use the people that the High Priest had provided

“Noill introduce you to the person that you will rescue the Paladins with”

The High Priest opened a door with a s a white hat and white priest robes

“This is our church’s candidate for the next Pope, Alveron Thank you for your help”

“It’s a pleasure, Weed”

Alveron wasn’t a user, but an NPC

Weed and Alveron headed deep into the church In the center of the capital of the Kingdoraved into the ground and served as a teleport-gate

Kkolkkak!

Weed sed

Riding the teleport gate would instantly send hiotten that the province of Morata was inhabited by the infaly powerful

Not the entire Versailles continent was full of users

Adventurers had discovered the Northern Continent but people did not approach it because the

He stood there and they began to start the teleportation

“We absolutely h Priest and the priests gathered large aht ca Alveron and Weed, and soon both of theo, the Nipplehaim Empire in the northern continent was destroyed by , the Templar army iped out Afterwards the Nipplehaim Ele law governed here

The survival of the fittest

The strong takes all

“So this is Morata”

Weed appeared at the opening of a cave

The Church of Freya’s teleport gate and the cave were connected

“Ohh, its cold!”

As soon as Weed arrived and went out of the cave, he felt a severe chill

The terrain and cli on the location

Morata, in the northern continent, belonged to the cold regions

In this zone, all seasons long, it was a perpetual ice zone

“Never thought it would be so cold…”

Weed’s body began to shi+ver an to shrink back fro into his collar

<tbody>

-You have caught a cold The body has becoid and the physical ability has reduced by 5

The speed at which satiety is reduced has increased by 25

</tbody>

In order to overco or sitting near a fire

If the severe cold were to continue for a long period of ti

The et worse

But he could not stay around in the cave!

He had to look around and scout the area

He looked around the snow-capped ridges

Past the devastated city

The deserted, lost city

Across the center of the second of third rows of houses was the mansion of the nobility

Over the rooftops with snow heavily piled on top, the collapsed ceiling of the buildings could be seen

Though the interior was seely empty, there was random furniture inside It see period of tis

“This azed across the town

A black gigantic structure

It had a large fence and didn’t have any lights on; the ere also closed

Crows flew over the roof

The castle of Morata

The black brick castle was covered in white snow A strange coht bit of inspiration inside of Weed Jet black croere circling around the top of the castle

Usually, birds would easily freeze and die, but croere tougher The crows had been turned into vampires

Because the crows had been turned into vampires, they could not die and were still able to move their limbs

“It seems that this is where the True Blood Vampires are This really won’t be easy”

Weed finished scouting and returned to the cave

<tbody>

-Tehtly

</tbody>

The cave with the teleport gate was a little bit warmer It was fortunate that the cold winds did not blow into the cave

“So this is the province of Morata”

At an earlier time, the uncle of the Queen Natalya, Archduke Morata had ruled the province

It had once been known for the outstanding quality of its leather and cloth and was quite prosperous, but now it had succue

Huhost town!

In the capital city of the Nipplehaim Empire, Mordred, all the inhabitants had been killed

Rescue the paladins, get rid of the True Blood Vao

That was all he had to do It was a simple, easy plan

But Weed was frustrated at the reality of it

He was the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor

To expect to do such a high level quest, he would need to have an a class to retted that he had not gainedcity of Lavias

“Nohat a to do?”

Weed went back into the cave to ask Alveron some questions Fortunately, the NPC Alveron had absolute trust in Weed and listened to him

“So, before I start, I want you relax and sit down I don’t believe that I have properly introduced myself My name is Weed I am older than you so address me respectfully Okay?”

“Yes”

Weed spoke a little bit more politely as he asked carefully

Alveron looked like a very young and fairy like boy, so he didn’t want it to get aard if he was overly polite

‘A kid…’</e the monsters

“This is a very difficult so I will need to knohat level you are…”

“It’s 320”

“…”

The candidate for the next Pope was at an enormous level

Weed had not known that a NPC could be so high

Even so, priests did not have much combat ability, an area in which he excelled in

The question this ti the quest, Weed’s fame had risen to over two thousand

“Your level is fairly high But I want to kno truly you have lived your life How high is your fame?”

“Let’s see, 150,002”

“…”

Weed tried not to sound condescending when he spoke to NPCs

However, because Alveron looked like a little boy, he had forgotten that he was a h priest

“What’s the ood child, Alveron went and sat in the corner Sitting in his white robe, his posture seerossed in a pious prayer

“Now that the small tasks have been taken care of, it’s time to start”

Weed laid a blanket on the floor

Blankets were, in fact, essential ite effects

‘I did not realize that I needed to prepare clothes’</edoed to the warmer provinces so there had been no need to carry additional clothing He had never thought that such a difficult proble

Weed’s body trembled as he flipped open his backpack and called out commands to retrieve items from his inventory

He retrieved the weapons and arold he had stocked up on in Liberty City

Kwajijik!

Weed struck the breastplate with his fist firmly He struck it several times here and there until it broke in several places The items were cheap, eak armor and durability, so it broke quickly

“Now I do this”

Weed pulled out a haht from the blacksmith shop to repair the breastplate’s durability With it, the power of blacks and related skills increased by 10!

He had purchased it in Somuren Liberty City

“Repair”

He hit it on the breastplate

Fixing a breastplate’s durability was hard He haed area was fixed

Weed then continued to break and repair the arepopped up

<tbody>

-Repair skill proficiency has increased

</tbody>

Due to the repetitive dae, the durability of the breastplate has dropped permanently

<tbody>

-An item has been lost due to frequent destruction

</tbody>

The breastplate that Weed was holding in his hands had been destroyed and had finally been torn to shreds

Repairing broken equipment could contribute to skill in some cases, but if it was frequently broken artificially, then you would have no use for a breastplate made of inferior steel

Weed continued to break all the breastplates, then the leg guards and once those were broken, he took out the helmets

8 hours later!

Weed was able to earn 10 repair skill proficiency

At the cost of 100 gold, the ite

Only 11 more until the repair skill reached the intermediate level Then the durability of equipment could be repaired toite a break Weed sneezed He had a runny nose and soon thereafter he also had a sore throat

<tbody>

-You have caught a cold

20 reduction of the body’s abilities

30 reduction of skill effects

The cold can lead to other problems

Reduced maxiing a sculpture while working due to the cold

“…”

Weed was at a loss for words

He had only had a little cold but now it had gotten worse He had been sitting in one place for far too long without

“das to look out for when one slept alone

Hunger, the cold and sickness!

Struggling with hunger was harder in cold climates since barley bread was no warm food

The cold had affected his skills since it ht the cold
