Volume 46 Chapter 7 (2/2)
Money still remained but dark ambition rose up
A dictator’s dream was to have his statue in a place where
In the history of mankind, there was not one dictator who overcame this temptation
“Four hundred No Too little I want to see it built in 2,000 s to codoold? No, that is too much… I can eat a few barley bread”
He was deeply troubled about the money
He didn’t want the 2,000 sculptures to be too cheap
He couldn’t spend too much on the sculptures but it couldn’t be cheap!
“What is art? The original appearance is so good that it will turn out well It is a sculpture”
Weed old
Each statue would cost 1 gold and 50 silver
“I can’t use it just because I have h”
The rest of the budget was devoted to econo was necessary to develop the wide land
Weed received news that Fabio and Herman had arrived
“Huy here? I can handle the heliu ory as so”
The dwarves Fabio and Herman had a war of nerves after they saw each other
“Are you capable of dealing with the most expensive metal?”
“Is money important? The sword is the real value”
They were upset that they were both called, but the fighting stopped once the helium was pulled out
“T-this is… A divinehand, Weed ain
“First you need to sign the contract”
“What contract?”
“I believe in the people of the world… No, where are the dwarves? However, a contract is required even when renting a single room”
“I see Indeed, I knohat you mean”
Weed showed them the contract he had written in advance
<ol><li>This is a contract between Weed, Fabio and Herman</li></ol><ol start=”2”><li>You will handle the valuable material helium to the best of your ability, in order to ive 30 old as a security deposit In addition, you won’t be able to leave a certain area while h money, other valuables will be entrusted</li></ol><ol start=”4”><li>You will carry our anythis period</li></ol><ol start=”5”><li>If the completed product doesn’t appeal to the custoht after three attehts</li></ol><ol start=”6”><li>The terrave 100 es</li></ol>
“T-this is…”
“Isn’t this a complete slave contract?”
Fabio and Hered people with quite a few social experiences
Although they had been company subcontractors, this was the first tirinned and said
“These are customary conditions for the contract that I wrote down Don’t worry about it and just sign”
“Customary I’ve never seen or heard of these conditions before”
Her
“The provisions on a slip of paper isn’t important It is more important to have faith in each other Both of you have the best skills, so I sincerely believe there won’t be any proble these conditions…”
While Herman hesitated, Fabio wrote his name on the contract
“I will do it”
Fabio had earned an astronomical amount of money since his early days as a blackse aht in front of him, so the money didn’t matter
Weed and Herman were the same They all had less than 1 left to hest wall and no one kneould cross it first
In Weed’s case, 09 had been needed However, creating the Museum of Time increased his proficiency by 04
He needed to sculpt a fewskill proficiency was 05
Fabio and Herman never revealed it, but their proficiencies were also similar
Weed’s eyes turned to Herman
“Fabio has accepted How about you?”
“Kkuung I can’t not do it I don’t have money so will you accept some items? I have a feords and a house in Morata”
“I’ll hold the real estate as collateral”
Herned
The contract was completed due to their rivalry!
“I look forward to you o down in history”
Weed left the helium to both of them and left for the southern desert
‘Helium isn’t a bad material for a sculpture But I have already used it once… It won’t be enough to ’
It was for the blacksfor, so he was going to atte special
Ka ka!
Weed watched a hundreds of
He was in the middle of the desert where the hot sun burned hih while doing the Nodulle and Hilderun quest
“Kuooh Hot”
Weed drank water from a canteen
Unlike the pas, the tehtly lower
“It is like turning on the microwave for 2 minutes and 55 seconds instead of 3 minutes”
The territory of the Pallos Empire had been increased by the desert tribes
Desert scouts sometimes headed to the border of the Desert of Tranquility
The quick merchants from the Central Continent advanced into the desert
Merchants who traded with the Britten Alliance and the free cities suffered a lot due to the Haven Ee else required paying a huge tax rate to the Hermes Guild
“I don’t want to live a dirty life”
The frustrated merchants turned to other professions, became unemployed or joined the north
Some merchants headed to the southern desert that was still untouched by the Haven Erew thanks to them, but many merchants returned to the Central Continent after the Hermes Guild reduced the taxes
Now some of the Geomchis were active in the southern desert
They were doing quests related to the Pallos Eainst the Haven Empire
The Desert of Tranquility was one of the continent’s 10 forbidden zones, so it was rare to see adventurers there
No user had ed to conquer the Desert of Tranquility yet
“It is a hard place for people to live It is hard to survive because skills are sealed I will make sculptures here”
Weed had a few ideas while ed the terrain with sculpting Rain was brought to the desert’
Nodulle’s quest would have been harder if it hadn’t rained
‘My sculpting skill has improved since then Honestly, I don’t like labour thatskill was only at level 1 and level 2, it was difficult to carve a wooden block
Now he could s knife
Bingryong, Phoenix and other large sculptures like the Tower of Light would have been i skills
‘Sculpting is getting easier It isn’t as hard as it used to be The artistic value is judged through various criteria, but it won’t have nificance if I don’t overcoo so far
It would take a while to raise his skill level if he only did that
Large words that were thousands offar froht raise my proficiency but it won’t take me to the end’
It wasn’t the first time he used helium He used quite a few precious h quests and hunting were used toand quests, Weed kept on producing hundreds of thousands of sculptures Anized as fine pieces, num opus
He believed that sculptures with a lot of tie pieces
‘The original plan was to try and reachheliuuarantee that the proficiency will rise’
Weed thought hard about it
After learning that Fabio still had soht it was incorrect Fabio was the best blacksood works
Helium was an ultimate material for a blacksmith, but not a sculptor
Sculptors lived mundane lives and the pieces they left behind showed their indomitable will and hard work
Theyon their lives That was the final num opus
It was probably the reason why artists were recognized after their deaths
‘Beco But the road is ht I needed to overco’
Weed thought of the harshest environment and decided to return to the Desert of Tranquility
Weed’s first goal was to settle in the desert
The Desert of Tranquility was one of the continent’s 10 forbidden zones and it was a place where skills couldn’t be used
<tbody>
Maxier has disappeared
Even if you eat food, you won’t be able to appreciate the taste
You feel a severe thirst
</tbody>
“Heeok”
Weed felt the terrible heat once again as he walked through the desert
Heat and intense sunlight rose for from the heat
“I have to risk my life but this is too foolish I will die before I can make the sculptures”
It was impossible to use survival skills in the Desert of Tranquility
Weed’s secret sculpting techniques could help in any situation, except in the Desert of Tranquility
“Survival equip I need from here”
He left the Desert of Tranquility and headed to a nearby village
He bought the necessities fro of the Pallos Eeappeared the !
<tbody>
In the desert, there is nothing as valuable as water
The ht you respect
But since so iven, most of the respect has probably disappeared
</tbody>
The title of Person Who Calls Rain was the result of an adventure he did in the past
“The days of the Desert Ereat I had thousands of desert warriors”
Weed was lost in his old e was so poor that it wasn’t listed on aof the Pallos Empire
Food, tents and caher than Morata in the village
Weed picked the desert iteive it to me for a cheap price”
“This is almost the cost price…”
“Ajusshi+, you should have some conscience It is obviously an expensive price Are you trying to rip me off?”
“What? A cheeky custoold!”
<tbody>
The price of the goods has increased by 7
If you don’t buy it then intimacy will fall
</tbody>
There were no other desert villages nearby
Weed inevitably had to take out old from his pocket
“Unbelievable I had barely escaped froical shock of the 200 won more expensive salt…”
The total purchase price was 2,149 gold
After buying a camel and the necessities, he returned to the Desert of Tranquility
“Huhuhuhung!”
The ca and didn’t want to step foot inside the Desert of Tranquility
“Come on!”
Weed couldn’t use skills and was forced to drag the camel
The Desert of Tranquility didn’t just have the sun and sand
Just like most of the 10 forbidden zones, the Desert of Tranquility had mysteries that couldn’t be seen
‘I heard stories while I was doing the quest There was a mysterious oasis in the Desert of Tranquility’
It was a legendary oasis that ht be a prank from Gods or fairies, as it would appear and disappear
Weed decided that it was just rumours on his third day in the Desert of Tranquility
“It is nonsense A con”
The oasis with clear water and tropical fruits was clearly an illusion
He only saw sun and sand for three days
“This is all that I can see”
<tbody>
Walking through rough areas has reduced vitality consuht as he walked through the endless desert
‘Am I really stupid? I’ve experienced this with the Nodulle and Hilderun quest, yet I caain’
At least he was able to rely on Seo-yoon the last tith as he looked at her face
Despite being hot and thirsty, the walk through the Desert of Tranquility felt short when he ith her
‘But now I live next door We can have ki’
She was beside him in reality, so he didn’t feel despair
He concentrated on the delicious dishes that Seo-yoon would make
“Come on The desert!”
Weed walked briskly
The caed it
