Volume 25 Chapter 2 (1/2)

Volu of isolation while travelling alone… roa!”

Wyverns, Bingryong, Phoenix, Gold Man and Yellowy followed after Weed

“There, don’t drop it! Pick up the japtem properly!”

Wyverns had to use their claws and beaks to pick up japtem Every tiony for the us like this…’

While they were by themselves they hunted lazily, but as they followed after Weed the a up japte transport

“KIIIINNG!”

The Silver Bird sitting on top of Yellowy s and suddenly collapsed This did not work on Weed

“You can’t die of exhaustion after this much Get up quickly”

Weed had experienced cold fatigue through overwork soto be ill would never fool hieons around that no one dared to enter There were also es and hideouts

On occasions other parties were the first to coo Fortress was in an establishi+ng phase, it was more common for Weed with his companions or with the Sculpture Lifeforms to be the ones to take the first step

What was good about having fixed partywith the Sculpture Lifefor for trustworthy people or spend ti to coordinate in a new party

Usually conflict occurred when hunting with new party members due to different opinions and methods to use, but Weed never experienced such occasions

“Everyone sleep”

Until Weed spoke to finish up the hunting in the dungeon, Yelloas in such a constant state of alert that he was unable to lower his tail As each of theeons filled with strong monsters, there was no time to be careless

Even when a number of weak monsters appeared, they increased their speed so that they could hunt just one more in an hour

“Today’s weather is cloudy and rain could coeon”

Only Weed had the power tobreaks

“The sunlight is really war in a dungeon!”

He was a complete tyrant of hunts

“Found a new dungeon two days ago and looking for people to party up with People who can dedicate the whole day, people who are already prepared and can leave now”

“Hunting for treasure, looking for someone with a combat class I am an adventurer I have the first clue about the treasure but it’s not so trustworthy Even then I would like to find people who can share the hardshi+p with o west? A party of 6 with an average level of 330 Looking for so”

Not only was the repair work done in earnest at Vargo Fortress, the current situation attracted many players anted to hunt and have adventures near the frontier As the monster attacks were so frequent, the standards of the players were also high

“If you are not busy can we go hunt together?”

“Cough, I am not really that busy…”

The Geo their brilliance in battle, the knights and swordsht fiercely so that the efficiency of the hunting was eon paths

Thanks to theether with thes happen they don’t despair”

During adventures death occurred frequently The Geo into traps, but their disappointment lied in the fact that they could not protect their party ht of how to level up fast as a ht wine and o hunting? I ies worth of alcohol and I don’t plan on returning till all o!”

For merchants they had a rule, to use any methods possible As Mapan partied up with the Geomchis his level rose up easily

“That fruit, it’s a herb!”

“We refine steel and strengthen blades Anyone who needs it, please come!”

The residents and players had confidence in Weed, who after conquering the fortress had becorated to the fortress Repair as constantly underway inside the fortress as businesses were restored, the elves and dwarves nearby ca fro eerie, black, contaminated rocks that made the place feel like an Undead would pop out any second But the vitality and life within the fortress was co fortress was fully repaired, construction of new buildings would take place

Starting with Parvo, other architects who polished their skill in Morata now flocked towards Vargo Fortress

“I think residential buildings can be built later”

“Yes, I think so as well”

The residential buildings were not a proble up to Vargo Fortress Of course, later on ht now the priority was on repairing the fortress

The builders who lacked skill were stuck being safety officers on the work related to repairing the wall The 1st class builders ere involved in building Parvo’s Art Center and Morata’s business districts were the ones responsible for repairing the buildings inside the fortress

“Let’s restore this building to its original ie”

“A lot of black stone will be needed”

“The lord invested such enorenerated quests to gather building materials here The residents and the a the ht now”

Weed had invested an io Fortress In Morata when immense funds were invested it resulted in a festival, here the corruption a soldiers rose and any random residents caon raed is really problematic upto how much could we renovate it?”

“As much as we can We should try our best The area was melted by the Breath attack and a lot of the support columns are broken, so half of the whole area has to be rebuilt”

“H then this will become a real construction project”

For the builders, the work of restoring Vargo Fortress was a large project that would leave aas funds from the lord and taxes were appropriated for the repair works

“The tower that the Bone Dragons were in, looking at it, it’s tilted a lot”

The central tower that was theat it from afar or even close up, it was so tilted that it created a strange feeling nearby It was a that it did not collapse or fall yet

The builders explored the ground and found that due to the firer of the tower collapsing

“Weed-nim instructed us to leave the tower as it is for now”

For Weed, restoring Vargo Fortress completely to hoas before would cost toothe interior or any construction, once the s will happen that will leave me penniless”

Not only did the central tower pull people’s gazes, it was a historic place that protected Lich Balkan’s Life Vessel The tall and enormous construct was too precious to demolish and rebuild

“Let’s just leave it”

The bestwas to leave it without spending anytower of Pisa, the slanted central tower could becoicians with high levels and those who became affluent, built their oers But coht and slant of the central toas inco of imminent collapse like that of the central tower cannot be found in Versailles continent!”

Presently, o Fortress was destroyed and it looked void The , were ha the development of the area

If there was aatmosphere, it was a sculpture!

Weed made his Wyverns carefully transport boulders to the top of the slanted central tower

“If I make a sculpture here, then everyone in the fortress will be able to see it”

It ithout a doubt, the best place to exhibit a sculpture As it was a place that a sculpture would have to withstand rain and wind, a fragile and delicate piece would not suit it very well

“I have to o Fortress”

As always, Weed did not think long on the piece he wanted to make

“There is a piece that has to be made in this place”

He started to carve the firm boulder into a sculpture The residents and players ere co were able to see Weeda sculpture here I am really curious to see what it will turn out as”

Whenever Weed started reat interest froood sculpture like in Morata it would help in many ways so they counted the days on their hands for the completion of the sculpture

But as Weed caress on the sculpture was slow

“It must be because the sculpture isti that you can just make easily”

The players waited happily!

Weed h sculpture that could be seen from anywhere As the time Weed invested into the sculpture increased, the sculpture was becoht

And finally a clear figure of the Lich turned Weed, wearing Balkan’s items as ornaments took shape

In the past he played as a Lich in Jigolaths, but he wondered if he could also have becoion With his greed, he would have earnestly followed Balkan’s command and in the blink of an eye, betray hiion for himself

It was an unknown future that could have happened! If he did not walk the path of a sculptor for such a long time, it was an almost certain future for him

“I don’t knohat effect this sculpture will have, but it will definitely co created great events As he cohts of a failed sculpture or even the Undead in the vicinity rising up again were in hisof Weed’s sculpting skills as it lacked nothing in its details Looking at the central tower from afar, it was difficult to tell if the Lich was real or not

“Still, it’sthat he already row the work a bit uard”

HavingLich sculpture, he sculpted additional 2 hts Even then the Lich was lacking in splendour Coion, the Lich was too isolated and lonely

“It needs soon bones!

If it was real dragon bone it would be old or mythril, but as it turned into an Undead if it was used as a s material it’s ability and durability as an iteion was resurrected long ago, the bone’s durability was so low that it was no longer usable for anything

The ite the players, but the bones did not look like they could be ood so they were not popular

The Geoon crafted by Weed, but the paladins and priests could not equip anything made from bones of the Undead That’s why Weed could claion bones that the players avoided

“I have to use these precioussteel to connected the dragon bones There were three sets of head parts, but so souvenirs kept s those parts, only 3 Bone Dragons could be completed on the central tower

“Now it looks like so”

The Necroes were the happiest ast the players Necroo Fortress

The battle against Balkan De on its reruns Weed’s fame could pierce the sky, he was Versailles continent’s number 1 most popular player

Weed, the wise lord of the Northern continent

Gara and the viewer’s response was good

There was news coverage of the daily change in Vargo Fortress as well The players of the Northern continent had ht of the fortress, once occupied by the Undead Legions, changing into a huions in the continent, the amount of players in the North was still s to sneeze at, with the players froreat interest in the north as well

Also, as it was the region that War God Weed ruled, even if nothing happened it still reht It was because of the self cultivation and developes that pulled endless inspiration for adventure

And so the nu frooing to Leserite Mountain, please co for Tanroaabout 200 people to come It’s a request from the dwarves to clear out the monsters in the mine”

It was a much better environ for the first time to Morata found it hard to adapt and were often left bewildered They ca about the Great Cathedral and the Library and sis They heard many stories about the Statue of Goddess Freya and the Tower of Light Looking at them for themselves, the sculptures and artworks were exactly as they had heard, with so ions, art and culture was given preferential treathts to see with the paths filled with entertain of abundance from the Church of Freya, there was an endless aularly and when the merry and playful atmosphere struck, the players flocked to the squares early in thequests Merchants who did not even know the proper price for japteinners were playing gleefully a, and filled with a pleasant atmosphere It made for a splendid city

When an expedition called for a hunting quest, 100 people gathered in no time The players had joyful expressions as they headed out to hunt

“I understand why people say Morata is like heaven There is so ”

“The prices are so low compared to other places There are so , you will lack for nothing here I should have come to Morata earlier”

No ions were filled with the slight feeling of oppression and exclusivity In the square they had to be conscientious of the ruling guilds, always ainst them

In coed adventure Weed not only focused on artists but also provided equal treatment for the adventurers

Development related to adventure and co the other regions inside out, this was incoes were at a level where their best was only at about 2, 3 There were cases in some cities where other players ruled that did not even provide co was that the lords did not feel the need for adventurers and spent their funds stingily But Weed thought otherwise

By bringing back the buried equipment, treasures, discoveries, artifacts, and books of the Northern continent the city would develop faster Developing the city allowed for more taxes in the future so this path was seen as a shortcut Even after Morata had beco, money was spent without spare for the adventurers

Quests in Morata appeared as if a dam had burst, many people received quests and left

“There is no need to dissuade people who are willing to take the risk of death and suffering”

It was a developo Fortress were changing in the blink of an eye even under ame broadcasters reported a lot of news about it But recently there was an event that engulfed the Versailles continent in a greater shock

Herdom!

Local wars happened frequently, but they conquered forts and castles and absorbed the again”

“The current situation is aly crushed the Kallaarrison”

“Bardray can be seen with the vanguard He is participating personally in the war”

“The Black Knights forces, their inestith! Watch Bardray’s action yourselves”

“Around 100 thousand Herician’s spells are spreading and pouring on the eneth was being broadcasted Due to the Haven Kingdodoion into their territory By getting the vast breadbasket and technology froest nation on the Central continent

Heruild started a war to recreate theining the future strength of their armies, no player could hide their astonishment

Weed heard the news of Herdoold”

“Thank you I will use it with utmost care”

For Weed, it was business as usual as heskills If he did not practice the blacks ti a sculpture, he heard the voices of the chattering uild really has aand they are taking over all of Kallaht at this le He was trying to capture the feeling of life in the eagle, requiring delicate carving to express its exclusivity of the sky and its freedom While he focused his ears on the conversation of thecan the Kalladom hold out?”

“They can’t I really didn’t know Herth Presently the Kalla 60 thousand people, not many survived”

Creek!

Weedscratch on the side of the sculpture

“The level 400 powerhouses of Heruild went forward, they destroyed and occupied Hosran fort in less than 2 hours Even the ”

“Do you think they are really that strong?”

“It won’t be an exaggeration to say they have the strongest infantry, even the nuh, words just won’t co the nanize the rankers, they are lined with strong players”

“But against Weed-nim?”

“Well… even Weed-niuild”

“Weed-niuild twice”

Weed just made his sculpture in silence The sculpture that was created during this confused roup><tbody></tbody>

It was a relief that he waseyes of the o Fortress still did not have a tavern so the video of the broadcast could not be seen But the grand appearance of the Heruild could be felt

The finances necessary to fund the troops to occupy just a castle or a city was enormous Even for Weed, the e developdom is said to be the yolk of the Central continent and just conquering it whole spoke voluuild becaer, Weed’s influence could only becoer roaine if Hermes Guild completely conquers the Central continent!

‘It will only be a matter of time till the underdeveloped north, east, west and south will be seized’

Then Weed would only be able to hunt in isolation Even now an assassin could coo Fortress was filled with players ould side with Weed, the assassin’s activity was liions, they would smell his bounty and cause an uproar

‘The only thing left for me is the Sculpture Mastery quest and the final secret sculpting legacy! If Herer than now, peace will be i I could do is roah Sculpture Transfor my appearance often’
