The streets were filled with ether
The Merchants’ businesses were thriving, and even the players that ca their japterass as they toured the festival

They wanted to play and relax instead, after working for a long time

“Eunnee, It looks really good on you”

They were fired up about shopping
It wasn’t just Hwaryeong and Bellot but other players too, as they traveled around the s
“Those are some cute furry shoes!”
“Weed makes a lot of cute shoes Why didn’t you buy it from hi addict”
””
Hwaryeong’s house is 120 square athered in it were a lot of shoes
“Eunnee, If Weed told you not to buy shoes will you stop buying it?”
Hwaryeong’s face turned white
She wouldn’t be happy if she was to only wear sandals and sneakers for the rest of her life
“I’ll…do what Weed wants”
“Really?”
“Yes Instead I can buy purses!”
””
==============================
“The night view is quite pretty isn’t it?”
“Try eating this for ht this”
“You eat it first I’ll feed it to you”
Pale and Maylon were sitting on a rock near the Tower of Light
They were doing lovey-dovey stuff while enjoying Morata’s night view!
There were crowds of other couples sitting together around them as well
In Morata this area has the best atood view so it is visited by les could not possibly enter
There were a few hundred pairs of couples sitting on the rocks under the irlfriend, was ae chicken fro me cold”
There were couples that could have went back to the city, but they were the type of couples that would still bare the cold
Then the man will ask
“Would you like to share my cloak?”
The couples shared their cloaks and the cozy atether
There were ether
“Old er?”
“Aheht to see old couples being intimate as well
In Royal Road, people were able to feel as if they were young again and fully enjoyed the experience
==============================
“We sell anything We are willing to trade Come over and check out our specialities fro to quest or ite is free! There areperiods of tiet to earn some money Mapan’s store is now open and ready for business!”
Mapan traded with the mermaids and received special products fro fish scales that he was selling now
Since Mapan has been selling in Morata froular customers
“Excuse me, Is it possible for you to cut the price a little?”
Feet deals
However Mapan shook his head and did not give them any chance to lower the price
“No, I can not It is because of the low supply”
Even then he slily glanced at theold”
“Kyaaaah Thank you!”
The feht the iteht now I’ froister you as a friend?”
“Of course”
Mapan thought these were the best moments for him This was the time to build friendshi+p with other players

==============================
“Hey, do you have a party?”
Zephyr was constantly asked this by women
He was in a square where a lot of lonely woether
Zephyr told them sadly
“I… have a party”
“If you have time later My na for ood time at the festival of Morata The streets were full, it was bustling due to the festival! But Yurin, who he liked, was not there with him
She had cold-heartedly refused to visit and was traveling around the world using Picture Teleportation
At the cost of his pride, Zephyr pulled up the whisperand contacted her first
- When will you be back?
- There’s still a lot of sightseeing to do
- Do you have ti out with two of my friends tomorrow
- How about the day after?
- Sorry, I will be busy drawing
- Will I be able to see you this week?
- I can’t promise you as I’m busywhen I have the time I’ll tell you
After that he didn’t hear anything from her
Obviously, Yurin used her Picture Teleportation to travel the Northern towns, but also after that she went to Rosenheiest cities and towns, and drew in Tianan easy requests If Zephyr saw the requests he would have scoffed at it
The quests involved getting Kobold’s toy figures or getting poisonous serpent teeth
But with a level difference of 20, she gave the requests to other people
Even if he was to do soreat, they couldn’t share with each other what mattered the most
“Ahhh, without Yurin here the festival feels boring”
Zephyr watched as the crowd dissolved into the festival
Having given his heart away to Yurin, his feelings had grown so large that he easily became embarrassed and it made him tremble
==============================
“Huck huck(sobbing), will she not be co back?”
There was one more person who fell head over heels over her
The artist who hung s, Petrov!
Reflection of an elf in the creek(strea the land
The view of the stars in the night
A Young crazy orc
Petrov expressed thesewarnus with colorful expression which clearly showed an unique story that would make other painters jealous
When Petrov showed his drawings to Yurin
“How did you draw the elf in the streae, there was an elf girl who asked me to draw a picture of her”
Yurin ad around freely between the trees
Petrov was very faes, he painted and gave some away, and the others he kept for hiht vieith the stars is very pretty I have never thought to draw so like this before
“As a child while I looked at the stars, I drea them into the canvas It would be very hard to just think aboutit, but when I painted it I had a really fun tis in the Stellar Night Views series, they were pieces of art that express the exotic night
The stars high up in the sky even had expressions As the stars grouped together into constellation they even expressed themselves as es like the boy who looks at the stars, the wo boy looking up while working at the rice field, a young boy who cliround and a youngin the stable looked up towards the sky for a brief irl oke up early at dawn to make rice for her fa in the castle was tired and laid on the ground looking up towards the sky
When expressing a thief, he was sitting on a person’s ho up towards the sky!
Petrov’s sent, it had composition, volume, and it also stood out
Until this point Yurin’s atht and cheerful
“I have drawn a lot so please take your ti at them”
“Do you have more?”
“That’s correct I haven’t even showed you one third ofevery time Yurin admired his work
Everyti away into the clouds!
He even talked about the art that has not even been released, but he did not think it was a waste
-Art stat has increased by 21 for appreciating a Magnu
-Your art skill and proficiency has risen
-Wisdoe status has risen by 2
Whenever Yurin listened to his a lot of her art stats increased
For Petrov it wasn’t just the drawings he drew, he also obtained thee amount of art collected, his illustration skill level was to the point of being over two level higher
“This picture has quite a good feeling to it Did you make it with purchased paint, or did you s that I s that I have purchased at the art store I have also made homemade paint that are still kept fresh, and the color is still er period of time But because you need to do it a lot I don’t recommend it for you miss”
As Yurin looked at the pictures, she started to want to go to the land of high Seas
“You have quite a skill in art, it’s pretty good”
“These are s that I drew like the elves, spirits, and the people and You are the first one to see theet to their place?”
“There are pictures drawn about spirits I used picture teleportation to travel there At first, they avoided me because I was human, but nohenever they seethe picture teleportation by traveling through dimension, he was able to do quests and act as intermediaries
He tried to keep as much secrets as possible, but Petrov told Yurin without any restriction
“I thought only sculptures were able to get it so I didn’t know that painting could also get Magnu about this”
“In art, painters and sculptors are often coh there are a special connection to one another when sculpting, but in drawing you can capture everything In this piece it includes a majestic sunrise, an aesthetic of odd colors, and you will be able to draw nature pictures ofis impossible in art“
Yurin was curious and asked hireat works but Petrov, I have not ever heard your nauild”
In Weed’s case it wasn’t just in the Sculptor guild, but if you were a player in Royal Road you knew about them
But no one had heard of Petrov’s name before
Even if he did not donormally majority of their ill become famous
“When I was offered quests, I did not like the rowdiness so I did not give my name When I finished the quest as an anonymous ave hout the Versailles Continent”
Petrov was hiding in Jeongnyeong and he was the : Spirit world(Castle inside a painting)]
His extraordinary as only known by the ny
“The painting is such a waste, are you going to continue painting under a different nahed and was embarrassed
“There are a couple plain ones that are left”
“Which one is it?”
“Well… the paintings becooal right now is to show the strength of an artist at this time”
“Then what do you think of the Sculptor Weed of the High Seas? Sculptor Weed is already ht now”
Petrov did not know that Yurin was Weed’s little sister and he truthfully replied
“I have never seen Weed as a co He seeht now, but if I were to ht now to the world, he would be humiliated”
After that Petrov was not able to e's Castle’s wall Yurin left a graffiti
Petrov is an idiot A dog
==============================
Even during the festival in Morata Weed did not play around
“During the festival it’s a must to do food business”
Foods ood way to increase the skill proficiency
It won’tskill is intermediate level 8! He had about 43 left for it beco skill to advanced”
Even when hunting, peopleis regularly utilized and is very useful, not only will his skill proficiency increases, but his food will taste good and it also increased stats
Sewing, forging, fishi+ng, sculpting, fencing(sword skill), herbal es
There were many areas he had enco skill, the intimacy with soldiers and the local people(NPC) would be easier to obtain
What’s a was he would be able to make a tasty soup from two anchovies and three pieces of seafood
When Weed was returning froht squids and anchovies and made it into fish sauce, thanks to the food that he had fermented, he was able to complete various dishes
Sooner or later he had to raise to advanced in cooking skill
“Fresh seafood house If there is anyone ants a taste of the sea, please come this way”
Weed only cooked the fish and other seafood because it was easily perishable
There aren’t really thatto the remote seaside, this allowed him to properly sell different variety of seafood
“Please get in line for whale, tuna, and sharks because it will be gone soon If all three of these fishes is gone, please do not worry There are other iant squid slice that are ready”
Weed was able to make spectacular moves with his sword and slice the flesh of the whale
The ability to focus on cooking, and the talent to concentrate on cutting them with the sword into sashi+mi
“I should make it thin That way, it would look like there is a lotand I canspicy stew pot, there was a difference in Weed’s cooking co in the sas, while Weed can ain, he used plenty of inexpensive vegetable and accurately distributing bones, head, and tails
He did not waste anything even dishi+ng out the last cold serving,trip at the Lair of Litvart where he cooked food for the soldiers, set his by the tis
“This looks a Will you cook and make shark sashi+mi?”
“What does it taste like? Will it rise our stats by a lot?”
The mere rumors of Weed, who appeared several tiather around hiether it’ll taste ae squid tentacles right now”
All of Weed’s cooking at the High Seas were posted on the internet through video, and pictures were edited for the players to sti them
Weed was able to exploit themthis good?”
When young newbie cooks asked questions, Weed gathered the spicy fish soup
“Use fresh ingredients and clean water, and be conscious of your seasoning that you make yourself”
The people who ate sashi+mi loved the taste so they ate it quickly, and since there were a lot of people that wanted more, scorched rice and stew broth were offered as extra service!
If they drink just the soup, their mouth became scalded, then they would drink fruit liquor, with no other choice, they would order sashi+mi
This was the 2nd and 3rd time where Weed slily outdone them!
“As you usually drink crab soup, it includes baby clam soup! For your information there are less toxin in this puffer fish There is a chance that if you eat it you could die, it’s only being sold to people who have resistance to poison and high health, we are not responsible for your actions”
When Weed’s interh quality cooking A vast a!
It’s not because of the guest, it was because of his return fro

“Finally, I reached level 9”Weed's cooking tent was always full with no available seats The festival restaurants were always busy and crowded
While si the soup, he also made sculptures in the briefinteresting to watch while you're having yourthat it will taste even better!
While cooking, he collected the leftover shells and used thee crab sculpture
“I would like three servings please!”
“Would they bemenus relevant to the sculptures became popular!
Crab soup with crab chowder, with soether with fried rice,around that irresistible aro line
“There quite a bit of Adventurers now”
Players of Royal Road all saw the advertisements on the bulletin board, and widely known Adventurers have joined in as well
Many Adventurers came to explore the Northern continent These players had deep pockets and would spend soof the faeons that the players didn't know about in the northern continent We are ether and have collected considerable amount of information”
””
Adventurer’s offered theether and explore Pareubek Valley? I like hunting and my top priority at the h seas”
”Froh Seas, have you heard about Count Valdez's toht now only formidable warriors can face the equally for e is 400 We know that Weed-nith can handle this, but when combined with ours, it will raise our success chance even endary expeditions were broadcasted in the Internet and were seen by millions viewers
The broadcasts becaave plentiful proceeds every time, there were so many skillful Adventurers that he would decline the proposal without hesitation, he saw the potential harm it would cause
Even for Weed, there weren’tothers There were other players that had the ability to come to the Northern continents adventures and those with the experiences too It was also a good place toand exploration
They tried to seduce Weed by proposing to give hierous so I don’t trust it”
There were also reputable parties asking hi will become pretty fast with Weed and even he wanted to join with theht now Weed’s situation was not that good
It was because of the quest associated to the Iion
Adventurers and warriors were sniffing around with outstretched hand due to temptation of the food
There were two people who heard that Weed came back and quickly rushed towards hiave the 1 copper request, to whom Weed irl and many interested parties arrived from everywhere to look to at therabbed Weed’s hand
Weed saw the furry gloved hand grabbing hi face
He enthusiastically smiled back
Of course, this is because he had already noticed Mandal the warrior running over wearing sparkling otten”
Not only were ility enough toweapons would have been siet his hands on mithril boots
It was an expensive and rare item
Weed carefully asked him
“What did you think of my work”
Weed had put all his efforts into fulfilling Mandal’s request to make the dolls For other quests, it would have been okay if he failed and just tried again, but this time he could not do that, so he put all his attention into ave him a thumbs up
“It was the best It exceeded h it was only a 1 copper request I really did not know you would put this much effort into it My wife alsoreally liked it as well”
His wife Delphina slightly bowed her head in greeting
“Wow!”
“Those people requested the sculpture”
The custo for the art center door to open already knew about the story
The Lord of Morata made the sculptures for the sake of a couple!
People were doubtful whether this was a scam or not, but parties came forward themselves
“If it were someone else, they would have been crazy for nu over ownershi+p of it” (Weed)
“Regardless…If it was me I wouldn’t be able to do it”
“If you think about it our city is really nice It even cares about the newbies”
“If you look at the shacks and all the other things, this really seeet the ball rolling
“I tried really hard, but despite ize”
“That is not true, we are really thankful”
“Still I apologize foryou come all the way here”
Truthfully, Weed did that with other things in mind
Normally once the sculpture job is done he just need to send it to thee, you never knohen you canthe surroundings of the artwork perfect, in order to receive the request fee, he needed to htly sracious wos have happened Take a look at this”
Delphi handed hi
Weed received it and checked it out
“Identify”
<tbody>
An easily breakable egg
A possibility that a fairy gave this to someone once in its life
If you keep it war
The fairy’s gender is fixed to a feher nature affinity than elves, they also have an i they see as their parent, who can name them The baby fairy will follow the parent’s words only for the first 6on the environs, there will be differences in growth
Based on these differences in its appearance, personality and ability changes its future
Restrictions:
-The egg ive the baby fairy too much stress, it may decide to return back to the land of the fairies
-If an evil fairy is born, notoriety will extremely increase
</tbody>
Since the mysterious fairy fountain was installed at the castle, fairies flew around every night
Mandal and Delphina had becoifts and food and received the egg in turn
Weed gave the egg back carefully
“It’s a very difficult thing to get, congratulations”
The nus were even below 20
Weed couldn’t just ask theive this item to him for their request
To the Mandal and Delphina couple, the fairy will of course not feel like their real child However, as they take care of the fairy, if their wounds could heal even a little bit, it would be good
They will be able to decide the problest themselves, in reality even if they are not its birth parent, they can adopt it and raise it as their own
Mandal took out money from his pocket
