The linked quest already had 3 stages It did occur to him that it was convoluted, however Weed continued on to the Kingdoeneral history of the Versailles Continent, but you would have to personally search for information on individual histories

There was only siraphy section He also read the History and War sections, but parts involving Count Savoid were , as if someone had intentionally erased them
“Found it”
“Where is it?”
“It says there’s a treasure hidden in this area”
Adventurers and Magicians who’d been reading in the library hurried to leave There were almost 20 users who, like Weed, had come to obtain information in the library
A jackpot was hidden somewhere, but he would have to invest a lot of ti the costs was difficult— this was the situation while hunting inside the library for information It was also a condition in where , or there was si to be read
‘Seems it’ll be difficult to find it this way’
Weed was subh a book was hard even for Adventurers with vast experience, so it seeather inforht Since I’ht just be that I was supposed to look at the Sculptors first’
Weed sifted through the art-related books
« History of Monudom’s Proud Sculptures »
He saw a book titled, « Ancient Sculptures » entangled a The contents of the book, although the name was different, there was information about the sculpture he currently had possession of
<tbody>
Figure of Rest : Syion
It is the symbol of the worshi+ppers who followed the God Matallost, who guides the dead They did not have a flag or pattern, but were fa a sculpture
The Priests of the Matallost Church had strong holy power and can guide the dead
After the birth of the continent’s official language, rather than using their God’s name, they also called themselves the Resurrection Church
They weren’t very high in public favor because they were close to and conducted research about Death It was assumed they used as sculpture as their symbol primarily for preservation of secrets
There was a story of so special and sacred artifacts, very different from normal sculptures

- You have acquired all of the required information for the quest

He did flounder a little, but still finished the quest
He went to the tavern and reported to Smith
“This sculpture was apparently the symbol of the Matollost Church”
“Whaddaya say?”
“It said it was a syht even be an idol”
Ding!

Since he could raise his sculpting skill proficiency while co a quest, these kinds of coh it took up tooto various different places
“So that’s what it meant after all Hiccup”
The old drunkard Smith was very intoxicated
“As promised, please tell ”
“Ayup! I was, ya know, a really reliable and well h I did usedrinks and woued way of speech, Smith told of how he ca requests as a free mercenary
For Weed, of course, it went in one ear and went out the other— there was no end to listening to each and every word of a drunkard
After a long while, Smith finally spoke of the the main subject
“This sculpture, ya see, at that tih the castle’s baseettin’ drunk”
“Why do you think he did that?”
“I dunno either Anyways I thought it to be really very strange Hiccup The alcohol tastes real good right now What e talking about again?”
With a befuddled look, S while
He boasted of his job as aabout the continent’s drinks!
Sain, and as if he had regained his senses, he asked
“Though I didn’t see this sculpture after long while… you’re not busy, are you?”
“I h”
“Could you take me to solve this mystery?”
Smith pulled out a rusty key from his bosom
“If I remember correctly… after that tio in if you have this key Can you take me there with you and solve the !

If it was Niflheio in the Northern part of the continent, where Morata was part of, and Weed was her current Lord!
The castle and villages went up in flaon who descended fro the Serbian Beads, but it only resulted in la of the entire Northern area Under the attack of the cold, the monsters, and division of the people, the empire collapsed
If the Niflheiht now, the North would stabilized on its foundation
It was a little unexpected that a quest such as this would become available from a sculpture, and then linked to the Resurrection Church But it wasn’t very surprising The Resurrection Church and the Matallost faith were churches that had originated in the North
If he solved mercenary S to the reconstruction of Niflheim Empire
‘I’ll be able to sell off Morata for a more expensive price’
Weed nodded his head as he tore into a chicken leg as an appetizer
“I will do my best to solve the mystery”

- You have accepted the quest

The Savoid County was dom was infested with level 150 to 200
“Recruiting people to hunt inside the e”
Count Savoid’s Mansion was a region-class dungeon The hts, Soldiers, and even astral maids spawns there
Weed entered the hh My insides are gonna die of heartburn”
Sive me just one bottle of booze?”
“I don’t have any”
Weed firmly refused There was, of course, a lot of liquor in his rucksack All because he made brandy or whisky whenever he saw edible fruit or wheat, etc There were a few cooking items that sold well, and easy to store like liquor With its astounding taste, disinfectant properties, and since it even raised Health recovery speed, liquor received thepreferences
Since well-distilled liquor could be priced expensively, it was no different froh he distilled liquors in his spare tial with it to the utmost, to the point where if it wasn’t SwordNoob or the other elder brothers, no one would even ask Weed for it
“Aherumbled as he followed
In the old mansion, dust was piled thickly and pieces of furniture were scattered around The nition, and the chandelier had fallen to the ground, shattered
“Fire Ball!”
“Cold Strike!”
He saw host monsters
Weed looked around theup It was a colossal site, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a castle
Weed had wandered through many castles of Vampires when he was in Todeum, but this was different from those castles, even the estimate of the number of rooms in the powerful Count’s mansion was immense
Weed asked, “Where is the basement?”
Smith just shook his head froo, so I don’t reht remember if I drink a bottle of booze…”
Weed frowned
‘Good-for-nothing alcoholic, drunkard!’
Other hunting parties were hunting all over the place in Count Savoid’s Mansion If it was a basement they didn’t discover, it was either meticulously hidden or had to be an extraordinary place
‘Even if it was discovered, it ht not have been made public’
They wouldn’t have been able to enter the basement even if they found it if they didn’t have the key It was huood for someone else Even if the basement’s entrance was discovered, it was possible it hasn’t been ured he had to cooperate with Smith to find it
Weed opened his rucksack and pulled out a bottle of beer
“Come to think of it, I do have liquor”
“Harumph Give it to me!”
“The basement…”
“ I do remember It’s probably down by the staircase”
The place S to two additional floors
Weed tried going behind the wooden staircase There was nothing there, except thickly piled up dust However, when he probed around with his hands, he could feel an imperceptible crack
‘So it’s here’
Weed cleared the dust and found a small key hole Then, he placed the key he received from Smith and turned
Creeaaaak!
He had to push forcefully to barely open the old door
Weed entered the baseet to pull out the key, either
Because itin the mansion!
Weed was absolutely not one ould fall flat on his face when the prize is in sight
<tbody>
You have discovered Count Savoid’s baseh adventure, experience has slightly increased
</tbody>
“Aha! So this is the Count’s basement”
S the way and sret
“If it’s a done deal, why didn’t ya give me whiskey?”
“I absolutely do not have whiskey”
Beer was at least coold, he had no intention of offering it
Weed looked around the baseed in this place, which seemed to have likely been used by the Count as a secret study
« The Basics of Flaic »
« The Study of Wind Elements and its Affinity »
« Ten Law of Flatterly Ele the Versailles Continent on Foot »
« Money-Making Opportunities »
« Witch, the Sorceress Who’ll Read Books for You »
He could tell just fro the bookshelves
Weed stuffed every book into his bag
‘I’ll make money if I sell them at a curio store or antique bookstore’
Since the quest’s next chain was determined, he packed them away cleanly
He also searched the Count’s desk
There were gold coins worth about 300 gold in the drawer, and a carving knife as well
‘I’ll have to sell this too’
Weed was one to memorize the prices of a wide variety of items on the spot
Even if a supermarket’s automatic price calculation system broke, if it was Weed’s store, there probably wouldn’t be a slightest reason to worry It was all because Weed was the type ould thoroughly re fro price, surtax, and even what applied to the “Buy 1 Get 1” old coins is 4,380 coins!
It was to the point where he made calculations in the blink of an eye
When it caies!
Weed saw a book spread open on the table
« The Origins and History of the Matallost Religion »
He began to skiregation was the largest compared to others who arose from rituals conducted by the people who held death sacred
They considered death as returning to the embrace of their God as the Matallost faith was adhered to as the Kingdoion, Warriors pay their respects to the Church before going out into battle
However, the public perception of the Matallost church changed as the years passed
Wars between tribes decreased, and a castle was built against invadingpeace
The Matallost faith becaarded with fear
In addition, the Arpen Edoave preference to the church in their own territory
In particular, churches related to war received respect, and the Matallost Church was disadvantaged by its doctrine of being led and guided by Death
Death became the last name the remnants of the Matallost Church yelled, and even ard
