(Authors Note: Whe… only two parts left)
Weed did not justaround the Central Continent
”Sculptor Weed right? Your works are superb”
”It seems my reputation precedes h Seas to coetically visited the residences of the nobles
Weed earing Talrok’s arnity
The King of Ritten sat on his throne and asked
”Lord of the northern lands, famous adventurer, what is the reason for your visit?”
Weed spoke words of flattery respectably while in his best ardom, I was deeply impressed by your rule Your majesty, I had to co you, I seeotten till now”
“I’d like to listen to what’s going on?”
Weed's reputation and dignity stat were really high, doh to be able to receive a King's Quest!
However, whennobility or royalty, he still had to adhere to proper etiquette
”When I was young, I had a really attractive appearance Princesses and noble ladies from all around would line up for a chance to dance withof Ritten's looks would now only appeal to female Orcs
But in the ways of the world, silence is sometimes better than the truth
And Weed was a person who took pride in living realistically
”Indeed Your Majesty has probably stolen the hearts of dom of Ritten must be very unhappy because of you”
”Adventurer, what do you mean they are unhappy because ofperson of nobility There were only knights with heavy lips as well as the King and Weed hi for Your Majesty, they would not be able to sleep soundly at night”
”HAHA!”
The King of Ritten Kingdoled around obscenely
Weed did notface would charinally I wrote ‘As expected, your s!’ but that sounds like Weed is co a snake that it had beautiful skin, or telling a frog that it's legs were stunning
He had the insight and skills to become a superb treacherous servant
”I'd like you to erect a statue ofyou need to create this statue”
Ding!
<tbody>
Create a statue that would satisfy the king
Only one of the leading sculptors in the entire continent would be capable of creating a successful piece
Necessary materials can be found in the royal palace
Difficulty: Profession Quest
Reward: Emerald, Sapphire, a minimum of 10 or more
Quest Restrictions: Only available to Sculptors
</tbody>
Thanks to flattery, a sculpture was commissioned
Weed bowed at the waist at once
”It would be my honor to carve the likeness of Your Majesty I hope my ill be able to satisfy” (TN: not sure about the second sentence)
-Quest Accepted
In the royal palace, top grade carving stone, snohite in color, was prepared!
Weed took out Zahab's Sculpting Knife It would make his work a lot easier
”The sculpture shouldn't really portray the likeness of the king in his youth”
Looking at the portraits of when he was younger, the King of Ritten Kingdom definitely looked like a baby Orc
”It is better if I ht slightly, and raised his nose
To hide the defects he transforure
To harmonize the sculpture he had it wear only a piece of armour and carry a sword
It had si of Ritten, but in truth it was a completely different person!
The difference in the sculpture was even more pronounced than pictures of celebrities (I think its talking about touched up photos)
Although only 3-4 hours were invested into the sculpture, the result was very good
Weed increased his sculpting skill and also his nature sculpting skill
The gathered Nature energy clothed the sculpture The shi+ny statue splendidly spun around as it was showered with the energy
And to top it off, there was the flattery
”My skill is insufficient, Your Majesty's glory and generous spirit I failed to fully capture I deserve death!”
Finding defect where there was none, it captivated the heart of the King of Ritten
”It's fine In my mind, there is no need for self-reproach It takes a lot of effort toso precious”
The sculpture was made in such haste that it was a waste ofprobably) wasn't good, so even with Weed's skills and extra tiotten a better result
“Even Zahab or Daycram would have a hard time with this one”
The artistic level of the result was not always proportional to the success of the quest
”The road of an artist is really difficult”
So the quest was completed, but he did not come here simply for the commission
He came to see the royal art collection on display in the castle
Long story short, it was a house visit!
Looking at artas a fast way to recover Art stats
Weed and Yurin toured around the castle shae of the art
”Oh, what a wonderful sculpture! To think you have so reat works of art, Your Majesty This truly synity By the way, are there any leftovers?”
<tbody>
Sculpting skill increased by 01 fro an excellent work of art
</tbody><tbody>
Appreciation of the exceptional painting has increasedskill by 31
</tbody>
While looking at the works he also had a hts and the aristocracy
Users who canwere few and far between
It was thus idom on the Royal Road Information Bulletin or the Dark Gamers' site
They could learn a lot here about art trends(TN: e collection of artworks definitely displays the greatness and absolute power of a King
Weed's reaction when seeing the vast collection of gorgeous and sensual works of art was jaw-dropping amazement
“You have such a luxury with all this
The Kingdom had many dynamic and unpretentious Art that were all lined in a row
“Wrong It’s Poor!”
He travelled aroundtheir artworks His art stat was restored to 2089
If you visited the doms on Versailles continent, then you would be able to raise the art stat massively
However if your fas or lords would not let you see the more prominent pieces of artwork in their collection, even if your falance at the artwork hanging on the corridors or placed in spacious gardens
If those lords and nobles do not hold sculpting in high regard then even high fame is useless
Weed’s fa, if the nobles did not care for either, they refused his request for a
”I'm afraid I have never heard your name in fashi+onable society”
”You've made a lot of sculptures? I prefer the sword If you are not ais ireatly thanks to trade Your prowess as a ”
Unless one ell-known aood trader, an expert in the sword, had ical prowess or possessed ability in various other fields, they would not s and nobles
Players were increasing their favors to the feudal lords ere natives to the Haven Kingdom Of course, this did not matter if you had the same Fame as Weed
The Castle dominated the Art supplies Even if you went to visit a warehouse it would all be in vain because the would be sold out
Only the Kings of Ritten Kingdodom enjoyed Weed and took out their private art pieces without reserve
Visiting the Orders of the Continent was even harder, only the Order of Freya, the Order of Lu and 3 other Orders that respected Weed's fight with the Embinyu Church allowed him to visit
He traveled around the Versailles Continent and experienced scorn towards sculpting from the nobilities
“Can you ? Sculpting is only for those who are carefree and bored”
”You say that you can find beauty froic that coe and understanding of mana”
In the continent the status of a Sculptor was very low, given that there was no one as proficient, exceptional or fa was low and was often ignored
With the exception of swordsed with the actions of the players
A baron arrogantly pointed towards a shi+p and spoke
”A sculptor? That's nice but I prefer listening to stories of adventure I have heard rureat adventure in the lands to the north called, Jigolaths! I would really like to listen to the story of what happened there If you were a fraud-like painter with paint all over your clothes I would have never met with you!”
Painters were treated as rivals, the only consolation was that both professions were in a similar situation
”Even so, it's still bearable Since both Painters and Sculptors are looked down upon equally!”
After creating Nature Sculptures and visiting castles, there were only 24 more hours until the start of Barkan's Quest
But Weed was able to raise his skillto 89 of Intermediate Level 5
A little !
Yurin asked
”Oppa, where are we going now?”
”For now, lets go back to Morata”
Yurin started to paint the Tower of Light
It was Morata at night ti light and then put herself and Weed in the scene
”Picture Teleportation!”
Both of thes
==============================
”I'ister as a worker”
”Can I just start today?”
Morata's construction site was croith people wanting to join in the construction
500 people, 2,000 people, 7,000 people, 8,000 people, and then 20,000 people
As tiathered with interest in the construction like ants gathering around a piece of cake
”Those ill gather stones get in line!”
”Looking to recruit partyskill is an absolute plus”
The building materials piled like a mountain as well
They reat buildings Morata's users joined en athered from nearby mines, mountains and rivers, by fleets of users
Users swar up bricks on a pillar
”At the center of the Cathedral make the chapel, as well as 12 towers”
”Add the building where the school will be”
”Don't forget the accommodation for the Church's Paladins and Priests”
“Shouldn't the chapel be at least 150h? We also need to place a doht should be at least 230er than the Statue of Freya”
The architects in charge of the design were at the construction site debating anificent Cathedral was being planned to be built in Morata
The line of people who had gathered building materials from nearby cha!”
“Heoeoeoeoeog!”
The beginners carried stone and lus!
So far all of the works Weed was involved in has succeeded The Great Pyramid and Statue of Freya were visible evidence
This was a golden opportunity to gain contribution points in Morata, as well as the Church of Freya, that could not bein its development can be very useful You can reduce your taxes, borrow soldiers for expeditions or get a house You could also get equipinners who started in Morata, ould stay in the Northern region for a long time, this was an absolutely unmissable opportunity!
Mapan, Irene, and Pale were discussing this topic while watching the scenery of the ht”
”Users who started in Morata are going to grow really fast”
”I can't let ly, Weed did not have to do anything to get users to join The users joined voluntarily to be exploited by Weed
Holding on to grand dreainners in Morata
Even though it was difficult inners, it was done without hesitation
As society dictated doing well on your first job was of prime importance
Weed did not force this Quest on thes in Morata and helping evolve the city with their own hands, it will be harder to erate to other areas
Weed 더욱 대단해 보일 뿐!
Given the great undertaking, Weed should expect to reap great monetary returns!
”In the whole world, is there as good a man as our lord?”
”Taxes are low, necessary buildings are available, there is good security, and road planning and urban developh no official facts have been released, exaggerated rumours hit the online boards
”The old? A substantial amount was from his own pocket, and not from public funds”
”Morata was a corew it to this degree Even now he is building great architecture”
There was high praise for Weed aht be the most popular lord on the continent
They were brainwashed to the degree of praising Weed, even if Weed were to drag h, tio”
Mapan and Pale, Irene pushed the wagon packed with decorative stone The re up and down the stairs carrying stone to work on the library
==============================
Weed and Yurin arrived at the Tower of Light
Observing froh place, Weed realized that there ay more people than when he left for the Debkart rand architecture being constructed, there was a massive influx of both Newbies and wanderers froe of clothes”
When he sold his work, he deliberately wore the shabby clothes of Newbies
