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

Weed started to smile

But a real sculptor can s in any di blacks
Sculptors with second job advancements varied considerably

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
