V50C4P1 For This Beautiful Sea
When the htened, Weed beckoned Yellowy and Nile to come closer
“Moooo…”
“I’m so sleepy Can’t I at least have a solid rest on a day like this?”
The sculptural creatures complained
“Allow me to introduce them to you; both of these sculptures are my own creation”
Geihar cocked his head with a surprised expression in his face
“Sculptures? You mean they are…?”
“Yes I bestowed life upon them”
“Life bestowal? But that is e to use that skill?”
Weed straightened the creases on his novice adventurer’s garment with his hands; this was one of the planned-out acts for the ultined to win the favor of the emperor, in order to squeeze the last drop of usefulness out of him
“I think it’s time to introduce myself more properly, master”
“Master? What do you mean?”
“My imperial majesty Emperor Geihar von Arpen, I am your student from the future, who once came across a piece of parchment left by yourself and thereby chose to become a sculptor”
Geihar’s jaw dropped in aan to tell him the old story
His path as a sculptor had been initiated in a place called Lair of Litvart With all things considered, it could be said that Emperor Geihar was Weed’s true mentor
“Well I’ll be da my letter?”
“Indeed, it was an expertly written piece of work that captured my interest at once”
As a proof, Weed took out the parch He never threay anything, even if it was just some old miscellaneous item As for this letter, he had chucked it in an obscure corner of the Black Castle before finding and bringing it with hiendary eenerations
My name is Geihar von Arpen, the Emperor who united the Versailles Continent for the first time in history However, I confess that the last days of nized reatness of my profession? Why do people scorn and dismiss it as some worthless job? Blinded by prejudice, nobody made an attempt to understand the true intention behind acy as a sculptor Even s! They do not deserve to become my successor; thus I leave allhere
The letter was full of complaints as well as denunciation on one’s children
“This indeed looks like ”
“Yes I had always been very interested in the art of sculpting, and after reading your letter, I immediately made a decision to become a sculptor”
“So none of acy…”
“I do not know much about that, but that as written in the letter”
Although people say backbiting a person together was a classic way of bonding with a friend, it wouldn’t be wise to have the said friend’s own family as the subject of the slander, even if he hated the at first, but a person was bound to get angry eventually at the insults towards his own kin
“After that letter of your , I have been through so much pain and suffer-Ipassion intechniques as I travelled across the continent”
After listening to Weed’s explanation on all that had happened, Emperor Geihar nodded
“That’s indeed the power of sculpting Travelling in time itself wouldn’t be a difficult task at all if you have the endless possibilities of sculpting by your side, the art of creating miracles”
Weed wetted his lips profusely with saliva
“Of course Sculpting is the best skill one can have”
“Do you realize that while all the co life is so only a God would be capable of? Art is one true power, the limit of which is beyond our estiht That’s what I always say to other people as well Sculpting is an everlasting technique”
“It seee; because you are my pupil, perhaps?”
“Allow me to refill your cup, your Majesty!”
“No need for such for along slass of beer with him
“By the way, you could have coht away after you arrived; ere you staying in this place?”
“There will be a monster invasion in a few days, an invasion by which this beautiful sea of the Arpen Empire will be destroyed”
He added so assault of the reat coral reef Geihar’s eyes narrowed and a hint of suspicion appeared on his face
“Invasion and destruction Aren’t those all the more reasons why you should have come to me?”
“Of course, I yearned to find you and seek your help, master But at that time I orried that ouldn’t be able to have an audience with the great E h it may be”
“That is very co less than what I’d expect from my student”
“Huheheheheheh”
E disposition and was quite susceptible to flattery
‘I didn’t have to worry so uessed he would be such a simple person to deal with froenerations’
Weed’s honeyed words were absorbed by the e into hot water From the next day onwards, Geihar joined the rest of the adventurers in their effort to stop the monsters
“The sculptural lifeforms… After I bestowed life upon the as free spirits I will ask these friends of mine for their aid”
“Yes, master”
E in the nearby regions by blowing a shi+ning bugle Every day there werehis call; on the first day, they consisted ers
“Master! Master!”
“Kekeke Here I am!”
As soon as they arrived, this race of creatures called Boroks started to eat the significant aht
Eht”
“Kukeke Sounds scary! I’m scared!”
“Our enemies are fish”
“Food! We eat theathered on the first day would be quite useless
‘They are small, weak, yet consume a lot of food That’s the worst combination I could think of’
The next day, various kinds of herbivores strea some tiny ones that looked similar to rabbits At least they did not need any provisions as they searched food in the woods on their own, but it was still unclear whether they would be able to join the battle
‘The best sculptural lifeforiven tasks efficiently and know to follow orders Those s in the character industry, seeing their cute appearance’
But as Weed’s disappoint, this ti crocodile-like combatants
“We have answered your call, your Majesty”
“A battle will take place very soon Your task is to protect the seaside”
“Yes, my Emperor!”
The crocodile coion, the naiven to these creatures, was also mentioned in historical books of the Arpen Eh skins and forion, armed with swords and shi+elds!
These coh any rivers or swa all the sculptural lifeforuess the emperor’s taste
‘First mice and rabbits, and now crocodiles He’s fond of animals, perhaps? He is surely a peculiar man, as some of old records say’
Flattery was a delicate art which required thorough study of its subject Weed had deliberately brought Nile the Crocodile in order to pander to the emperor’s taste Weed spoke to Emperor Geihar covertly
“Those crocodiles are very inificent to behold”
“You think so? They are actually my failed works”
“What?”
“Yeah, I just carved them with the top of my mind when I was drunk But they breed extremely quickly; that’s why there are so many of the!
No sculptor would be fully satisfied with every piece he had worked on, as is the case with all the artists
