Chapter 3 : The Silhouette of a Golden Statue

Northern Expedition!

The Cold Roses Guild finally finished setting up the expedition and was finally ready to start exploring There was an iht it was good to get as reater nuement of theather the necessary ood idea to increase their numbers but not this much

Expeditions usually had 50 to 100 people In so

For such a dangerous place, it was better to have 7 to 8 high leveled players

It was because they could smartly avoid hazardous situations that lead to death

Larger numbers were es

Oberon talked to his aids

”There are sopart in the expedition that I think I need to cut down on some”

”That will be difficult”

Kerberos frowned at the guild leader

”That current situation will not let us reject the along a crowd”

”We have a handful of adventurers as well as sohest level players in the northern continent”

”So only the higher levels should go”

”Suppose if they fail to survive We need to consider bringing more people if necessary”

Kerberos concluded his thoughts to Oberon

”So you're saying that we should bring a large force?”

”It's hard to say We don't knoill happen in the north There are quite a few adventurers that dislike sharing inforht be useless, ill still gain popularity”

”That is true”

Oberon agreed io to the north based on public infor about the cities in the north or the hazardous areas! They didn't even know exactly where to go

”The erous What can we do about the lack of information?”

”Kerberos, it is already tiets delayed any further”

”Yes, I think so We need to keep a few h levels are wiped out”

Oberon was skeptical

”Is that the case? There will certainly be situations like ht Even if I keep a few ht?”

Kerberos did not deny it

”Hopefully our friends will be more helpful than a feell trained men It will be difficult to deny participation to those within our alliance”

Oberon and the Cold Roses were mostly focused on when to leave to the north They would be surrounding theuild may perform a surprise raid on some of the castles that they own

They would have noticed such a large group of people on theas many forces as they could was the priority

Oberon took into account all of the power of the Cold Roses Guild with him

It was because they were able to trust in Oberon

Darrior Oberon!

He roadoms with his soldiers

They went on adventures such as liberating towns fro other users to protect the weak, and risking their lives for others

Even in a difficult situation he would extend his hand to help the weak!

He led a large force of his friends, rounds

Tens of thousands have heard of his fame and because of this named him Dwarf Warrior Oberon

The Cold Roses Guild had been formed by Oberon and his followers The Cold Roses Guild was a uild on the Versailles Continent but fewer than 100 people were Oberon's uild, they decided to go on an expedition

Ulti to explore the North

”I will not accept any co Even if there are risks, isn't it unlikely that they will leave?”

”The group will eventually accept it”

In that sense, Oberon had decided and ended his conversation with Kerberos

If they wanted to be in the expedition they wouldn't be allowed to have any complaints

Since trust was critical to Oberon, he declined several people

The initial plan was to recruit the elites but that was torn down and the criteria was expanded to anyone being accepted

Warrior and adventurer classes The participation of these classes increased increased significantly because of this

Drum and Kerberos wanted to capitalize on this opportunity

”The leader is too naive”

”Adventure Exploration Discovery It's not good However, it is a chance to get so we can't pass up”

Kerberos and Dru in e of this opportunity We can raise the reputation of Oberon and the Cold Roses Guild So we should accept as many people as possible into the expedition”

That was Kerberos's intention Kerberos accepted several guilds within the kingdom Thanks to that, anyone could join The Cold Roses Guild and their allies They flaunted a large force There were over 1300 people andfrom afar

There wasn't much of a choice

Kerberos and Drued on the troops in order to raise the guild's reputationThey had advertised it outside the castle a few days before There were a lot of spectators A massive expedition

It would take a few et the expedition to the north because of their large nuet there safely”

”I need a souvenir”

”Don't worry and just wait”

People deliberately came from far away distances

The ruathering power began to become troublesoood speech

”We leave this city to go off to the land of adventure! There will be risks but there are also opportunities For those that wish to go, let us seize the day!

”Yea!”

”We set off to explore a new land We will make our mark in the soil of this new frontier There will be new experiences andto be made with the people you meet

Stories will spread far and wide of our actions We will be heroes of legends!”

”Wooooahh!”

One by one, the people that had raised coed to cheering

Despite how it sounded fro to be a very drastic expedition with a significant a to be any proper place to rest in the bitter cold expanses of the north

It, however, had athe morale of the expedition For the sake of formalities, this ceremony was indispensable

It finally caave his speech

Oberon stood on the podium silently and looked around

””

The expedition and the crowd held their breaths as they waited for his words

The warrior guilds had immense faith in Oberon!

There wasto say

Oberon's words were not very long

”Let's forget about the heat Let us go to soet rid of the heat!”

And that was it

The eyes of spectators and the expedition shone fiercely

There were tens of thousands of people in the expedition and the video was being streamed to millions

If the expedition was successful, then reat opportunity to get publicity

Usually a good leader would give a speech for ten minutes, but Oberon's speech was short

But the hearts and er

”Get rid of the heat on the Versailles Continent'

'We are going to the North!'

Oberon's words had the power to leave a lingering feeling that filled the chests of the expedition

With Oberon's words, the cereoodbyes to friends after a hearty h!

The expedition set off

Merchants stocked up with goods began to move as the Dark Gamers led in front

”It's hot”

Volk said as he fanned hi for most of the Dark Gamers Oberon was fortunate to have enlisted the commission to accept”

Thirty other Dark Gareed since it was similar to most of the other commissions that they have been commissioned to participate and suffer in

However, some of the Dark Gamers were a little bit excited

It was the first tiot to explore such a vast place

An expedition of this scale was unprecedented and only one had ever been fordodom

The Dark Gamers were inspired to become historical heroes

”Let's depart”

”Let's go!”

All the preparations were completed and the expedition set off

The noobs watched enviously froates as they set off

”Do you think that they'll run into any problems?”

”It's not i to be to the expedition”

”I think so too but I still think it's fascinating It's no joke to his ability and his capacity to get quests and infor and go eat soet to adventure around, eat good food, and there are lots of pretty girls How aet over 100 fame?”

”I exceeded a 100 fame earlier when I turned in a Retrieve Fox Tail Quest”

”You have to work hard and do quests to get fao and get some food to eat”

The noobs were envious but they had work to do

Weed kept dissolving ore to pass time Of all the swords and ar sculpting

A nine tailed fox!

Ttring!

<tbody>

The ite skills have i skills have iave up to three stats on finished items It used to raise it 1 or 2 points in the past, but now it gave 10 strength and 10 agility

”So it changes depending on the level of the finished product”

Sculpting was less effective on weaker items With better products there were more exceptional abilities endowed

”Hopefully it can ih level users had better stats on their ite clothing and weapons that look nice

However, it was better to fight solo if teaeons

Trust in weapons and arht until you lose your life Until it becos

Spend a fortune to buy armor and weapons

There were still a bunch of people concerned with the color and design of weapons and armor People that can craft weapons can earn a substantial auess this is another secret of sculpting'

Weed found a way to earn a little biton ite, no matter the level, could not improve it beyond a certain point

It could improve equipment a little bit or render it more useless

<tbody>

- Defense and durability have been reduced

</tbody>

In addition, excessive sculpting could decline the ability significantly

Swords would also decrease in dahtly and not overdo it”

Weed began to learnHe sculpted on the swords, ar

As a result, the black steel swords and arreat options

There were some with useless stats like charm, but the Mithril Boots and Helmet with the fox raised the affinity by quite a lot

30 strength, 20 agility, and 120 faher increases

All the sewing and blacks reet it out of there”

Weed pulled off the earthen old pieces

He kept pulling out o into the statue will be about 7000 gold”

Weed felt a sick feeling in his chest

A statue old pieces were quite sold into plates in order to make the statues

But it was not yet completed

”Time for the last part”

Weed carefully worked on the face, ears, and fingers A fundamental part of the mold was made

Then he made detailed representation of the necessary parts like clothes and knuckles

He gradually got rid of the rough edges and smoothed it out

Then the sculpture was completed

A sculpture was in the city of art, Rhodiuold sculpture

He had not inal masterpieces were quite rare

It was the first of its kind!

It was a sculpture that was recognized by its blacksain and the final product was not outstanding, then it would be fairly difficult tothousands of piece, it would finally bear fruit and a e

It was the pleasure of the final product

'A reward for my troubles'

Weed started to smile

People usually s

But a real sculptor can s in any di blacks

Sculptors with second job advancements varied considerably

Metal sculptor, structural sculptor, stone sculptor, earthen sculptor, and jewelry sculptor

Because there were various jobs in the palace and city, there were dozens of forms of sculptors

But there was no rewards co of the quest

An low level sculptor could not be picky in the city of artists Rhodiuh more trouble than he needed

He was able to , in a way, had an a was not directly useful to combat skills or for adventure It couldn't take care of immediate needs since it was difficult and required a lot of tido culture and strengthening national power

Thanks to the large lion sculpture, tourists flock to Rosenhei with players

A single art class could influence the future and strength of an entire kingdom! But Weed was not interested in a country

Rather he did not like it at all

”It's a good thing that I made this sculpture Grant life to sculpture!”

Weed patted the head of the gold sculpture

The sculpture of the man was a little shorter than hiold
