He had sacrificed many benefits to pursue the path of a Sculptor
Weed was already standing at the zenith of the Sculptor profession
Since the sculpture he created garnered attention, it surprised the entire continent; in which he recieved abundant falory
The Dwarf Instructor said
“Even if you devote your entire life to the boundless world of Sculpting, you will never see the end While people who are obsessed with hunting and adventuring can’t see the value of sculpting, they say that the venerable Dwarven Sculptor Kendellev thoroughly enjoyed adventures Have you heard of his tale?”
The Dwarves who gathered around trying to unveiled the secret of sculpting, grew silent
They were closely listening to the Dwarf Instructor, since it seemed like he would provide some information
‘Dwarven Sculptor Kendellev?’
‘That’s the name of the Dwarf from the quest that no one was able to solve’
‘However, the prologue is a little different from last time’
‘Hurry up and say that you haven’t heard of it!’
The dwarves were thinking this, however they were eager to hear the Instructor’s words, so they stayed silent
Intuitively, Weed’s an to speak words of praise
“So it’s like that That is a welcoes Us Dwarven Sculptors can walk anywhere using our powerful legs”
“Ahht, if it’s another race eak constitutions, they have to travel by horse”
“The roiven that only by walking can one fully experience things and be inspired”
“It’s so annoyed with the onlooking Dwarves
'How can I have a peaceful conversation with the instructor like this’
‘All I can hear are tremulous chatter’
The Dwarf Instructor continued
“In any case, he was a Dho liked to travel alone, and no one would ever lay a hand on him One could say that he was one of the rare Dwarves as extreant Elves”
”He seemed be a very talented Sculptor He can even tolerate the loathsome Elves”
The characteristics of the Elven race
They despise using materials such as trees, rocks, and clay to create their sculptures They despise using parts of nature [to artificially create sculpture, and labelled theible
The Elves hated Sculptors because they take the lives of trees and turn them into wood
Because of that reason, forests where Elves reside did not have a Sculptor's Guild
”This story has been passed down frorandfather It was said that his sculpting skills have reached Godliness but unfortunately, none of his reh donificant number of collectors who kept his sculptures in storehouses, who now thrive froious shrines and the Tower of Warriors, the Tower of Magicians also preserved the products of the great masters, but the Dwarven Sculptor Kendellev did not leave any pieces for posterity
“Due to the situation, only the Dwarves knew of his God-like skills The haughty Elves would not even talk about our ancestor, who e”
“He doesn’t have any family or disciples?”
Even if it was just Kendellev’s descendants, Weed wanted to meet them somehow
“They say he didn’t He liked to travel by himself so much that he didn’t marry and lived all of his life alone Even the location of his final resting place remains unknown We Dwarves can only cherish the pieces we ht”
The Dwarves were a race who had great pride in their equipear, and artwork
“I can’t believe that he would destroy his life’s work so that no one could see it Although it’s only conjecture, a place that is difficult to find I think his work could be contained in a hidden place that only the st us Dwarves, can enter If it’s an exceptional Sculptor, he or she ht be able to discover it”
Weed nodded his head
“That could be possible”
“Please let me know in the event that you are able to discover traces of that person, because I want to rub it in the noses of arrogant Elves and Hu!

- Sculptor Instructor Jorbid’s Request
</tbody>
An unbelievable story was disclosed in the Dwarven Sculptor’s Guild since antiquity
The Dwarves claim that there was a Sculptor who could craft fire and water, light and darkness, ast them However, others don’t believe this claim
“While the Dwarvesquality of weaponry, no matter how talented they are, their artistic talent is like that of a child’s Since they’re short, even if they say they kno to sculpt, how can they? Hahaha!”
The Elves' insulting rehout the forest
”The Dwarves have still yet to learn about the h their words were very degrading, the Dwarven race would not protest
<tbody><ul>For Dwarves to regain their pride, one would need to find traces of Dwarven Sculptor Kendellev’s work Difficulty: Dwarven Sculptor Race Quest Reward: Honour a the Dwarves Quest Limitations: Only available to Dwarven sculptors If the quest should fail, Dwarves will receive the same hostile treatment fro Dwarves ere listening to the story tried to discouraged hiive me this quest before”
“Don’t accept this This is an inferior quest that they give to any Dho thinks of picking up Sculpting If you accept it for now, it’s hard to forfeit it later, and it’s an impossible to clear quest I swear”
“I accepted this quest, but no one knew anything about Kendellev It’s a quest that I gave up on after suffering for teeks trying to complete it I suffered a lot to recover from the loss of fa to stop a Dwarf they had never seen before, and kept encouraging him to refuse the quest However, there were also extremely curious
‘But this time, the explanation and the description of the quest is a little different’
To be honest, it varied greatly
But because he and many others were curious about Kendellev, they were forced to accept the quest and investigate him
It was a racial quest; they accepted it because they thought there would be additional bonuses after succeeding, but there wereit
However, unlike before, he gave Weed more details and kindly explained They carefully observed how his fa skill changed the dialogue of the Instructor
And then Weed said
“I believe it is a fact that arves, once had a great sculptor a us I will definitely look for evidence to snub it in the Elves arrogant noses”
<tbody>
- You have accepted the quest
</tbody>
“Thank you I'ratitude, the Instructor presented a carving of an Elf
“Oh! He already accepted the quest”
“Even though I begged him not to that much-nim, please abandon it before it’s too late”
The Dwarves ere beside hirew impatient
To be honest, they were anxious
Even if one considered the failure of the quest they accepted, it had been acknowledged as an insurmountable quest However, since Weed accepted the quest, the Dwarves had an uneasy feeling that he would succeed
“Instructor, I also believe in the tales of the Sculptor, Kendellev I also want to search for his tracks”
“I will as well”
“Didn’t you guys already fail earlier? However, it would be good if many Dwarves would participate in this event”
The vigilant Dwarves left together after receiving the quest from the Instructor because they all suspected that they would be left behind Weed,the most of this opportunity, left the Sculptor’s Guild
The Dwarven Village, Iron Hand was built along the rugged mountain peaks
Blacksmith stores and houses were built on an uneven surfaces, and the village square was made in the form of staircases There were very few flat terrains to be found, and therefore they were very costly
There is no place like the village square for people to sell their unwanted goods and recruit teammates
Weed went to the corner of the square and started sculpting
Sa-gak-ssa-gak
“I heard that Dwarf has superior sculpting skills, is that true?”
”It remains to be seen Anyone who accepted and coed about it”
“We’ll, have to wait and see”
The Dwarves were closely watching Weed The users who accepted Kendellev's quest were filled with regret
Weed was determined to solve the issue with this quest
Weed was sculpting, showing no intention of relocating
His marvelous skill allowed hi it, as if it were an apple!
Even after becos whispered in his ear
- I’nored you up until now Please hurry and sculpt me
- Look at nored our existence
- Weak Pathetic Don’t you desire power?
Ithis sculpting skill, but the beings whovoices beca hi Guild, because of that, he sculpted with relief
“No, now! It’s not like I’ll be here day in and day out I will make you some sculptures Please stand in a line, a line!”
In thisDwarves as a side business
While there weren’tskills to choose frohters If a sculpture was sreater probability of usefulness during a battle
In that case, hesculptures, he sold them to the merchants anted to buy and sell, and to the tourists
“Can’t you increase the price by just 1 copper?”
“It’s a sculpture I ive me 1 iving special discount For a short time, all sculptures will be 30 off! It's first come first serve up to the first 5 people”
For some Dwarves, sales came in different sum, while others walked aith their confidence crushed
The Dwarves atching got their hopes crushed and left
Although he started sculpting in order to elude the pursuers, Weed was overfloithsculptures in other villages and Kingdoms, the customer responses here were completely different
”You sculptures differ froold”
“Thank you It’s very beautiful”
“Did you e? Thank you”
In order to show respect towards the Dwarvenprice He received different treates
The Dwarven sculptures huuests, it was so popular, it sold like hot cakes
And the s above all!
Ttiring!
<tbody><ul>- A fine piece! Dwarf boy was coh the sculpture does not have a childlike appearance, his lack of a beard tells you of his young age Looking at the sculpture closely, in-depth sculpting artistry can be found Artistic Value: Because it is a work of a qualified Sculptor, 73 Special options: Luck stat increase by 7 The nu skills have increased in experience - Fame has increase by 1 </ul></tbody>
There are a few minor errors but the sculpture still came out as a fine piece
I think it is very well done for ht
But since walking down the path of the Eternal Sculptor, masterpieces are produced fairly frequently
‘It all thanks to the increased effectiveness of my skill’
Weed was satisfied with the end result Not only did the Sculpting skill increase, but even the related skills would increase its effectiveness by 20
Sculpting Blade skill increased by 20, and Sculpture Transfor racial characteristics
Weed was able to use the fast pacedhis teenage years
With approximately 45 masterpiece sculptures created, he could earn approxiold
It was petty cash compared to what other classes made, but with all his money invested in Morata even this small aht long
Whencame, the Dwarven Liberation Corp entered the town square
”One day of taxes from all travellers!”
