Volume 50 Chapter 5 part2 (2/2)
“This is such a fine day today, with cool breezes too, isn’t it?”
“Yes, you’re right”
With the delicious side dishes raising the eone in a flash
“Haaah… I’ as a sculptor, and you have such excellent cooking skills on top of that…”
“Sculpting is the best, master!”
Another bottle was drained to the bottom
“For h I have made more friends who understood my ideals over time… I cannot help but feel rather lonely sometimes…”
“I completely understand how you feel,as he lamented over his solitude One more bottle became empty before they knew
“I shoun’t… have so much drrrink… in the middle o’the daaay…”
The ely drunk Weed, who usually prefers to water down the liquor, was taking out only strong drinks this tie of side dishes including fries, roasts, soups, noodles and fruits, and was setting them up on the table with a quickness that wouldn’t have been possible without soht drinking,this e after your countless sculptural friends, a brief repose like this is only necessary for the better future of everyone”
Even as he spoke Weed deftly opened another bottle of spirit
“Let’s make this our last one, shall we? A teacher and his pupil sharing a drink together; good for strengthening our bond, wouldn’t you think so?”
“I gueeeess… you’re riiight, of course…”
As he shared the drink with Weed, Emperor Geihar disclosed the stories that had been hidden deep within his heart The story of hi sculptures; and the story of hoas able to bestow life upon his creations by treating them with sincerity Alcohol had the power tothe a true friend in each other
An epito alcohol!
Just as when Geihar’s eyes were starting to lose their focus,
“I, too, founded the Arpen Kingdom”
A low, heavy voice ca to the stories of the emperor Naturally, he had wetted his lips with a lot of saliva, which was the last shred of conscience he had failed to abandon until the end
“And it wasn’t for doht in the endless chain of wars… and those who built the Haven E heaps of eneral were in a lot of pain and suffering”
“…”
Although in a drunken stupor, Emperor Geihar seemed to come to himself a little by Weed’s words
“Sooo?”
“The Arpen Kingdouess, I chose this nareat respect for you, reat satisfaction to the mind of the emperor which was already fully open to Weed
‘I think I just used whatever name that popped up in my mind, since I couldn’t co about naed his mind and chose the nadom of Arpen is also a peaceful nation like this Huether upon the ruined land to live in”
Weed gave Ein of Morata He felt rather bored to tell him the full story, but the emperor seedoh much effort and at the risk of my life, I was able to rescue the Arnins and Ellyons as well The Arnins had been living miserably as slaves before I came to save them”
“Hooow… hooorrible…”
Ee A drunken person easily fell asleep, so it was necessary to arouse his anger with an appropriate tido in this land And I aim to rescue the rest of your friends, too, otten them…”
The emperor’s voice suddenly sounded somewhat ratitude towards Weed, the Alcohol Persuasion technique also reached its clido sha such a difficult request, but please, for the sake of all the sculptural races facing the hard times ahead of the peace to this continent!”
In this oal perfectly
As Weed and Eoblets back and forth, Pale and the rest of the co closely to the conversation between the two men
“Do you think this will really work?”
“It would certainly be very difficult to convince hi the emperor to bestow life to all those sculptures and put every ounce of his energy and strength to help us even after he gets revived by Sculpture Resurrection skill”
Zephyr was rather pessimistic, and so was Seasoned Crab
“If this persuasion plan fails, the nu constructed in the Garnav Plain will all be useless And that is going to be a tremendous blow to our side”
They have all been quite impressed by the combat capabilities of the sculptural creatures such as the Baraags Depending on whether Emperor Geihar would join this battle, different options would be open to theainst the Haven E about — the hero who had changed the course of history
‘If Weed-nim’s hidden weapons in the Garnav Plain are rendered utterly useless, we could lose this battle’
‘We must persuade him to help us, no matter what’
Surka returned froht some spicy roasted pork! Just dip in this sauce and enjoy’
The co Weed and the emperor as they oblet with the spirit for the first few ti up the subject about his real purpose of this adventure anytime soon
“Look, another bottle…”
“They are drinking really fast”
“Ooh! Weed-nim spat out the liquor in his !”
The process of persuasion to save the Versailles Continent: le second of break, and discreetly fawn on hi a simple and honest s and thoughts And Weed caught his chance to strike out, asking for the emperor’s help
“Huh So that was the true reason why he founded the Arpen Kingdouess Weed-nim really lives to help others in need I’ve never realized that he has had such worries and concerns in his mind all this time”
“…Wait, that really can’t be true”
Even the companions who knew all too well about Weed’s true nature couldn’t help but feel confused for a short while Everything he had ever put any effort into was for his oealth and prosperity, but after being wrapped up by a layer of ro to make him look like a savior of the continent His story suddenly turned into the biography of a hero, who chose the path of hardshi+p as a sculptor for the sake of art and beauty, ventured on a nuerous quests in order to save the world, and eventually dom
Zephyr cocked his head curiously
“Well, there’s nothing outright false in his story in ter hi ti”
Irene sree with you”
As Weed’s closest associates, they ell aware of the nu the trade of the Arpen Kingdom and speculative investments in the land around Puhol Water Park Not that they were in any position to criticize him — they had each received a free villa located in that water park themselves
‘Still, nobody suffered any unfair loss because of that, so what’s the big deal?’
‘It’s certainly true that the Versailles Continent has become a better place thanks to Weed-nim’
‘There would be very few Northern users who bear any sort of grudge against Weed-nim’
While it was up for debate whether he really was a good king, with all things considered he was undoubtedly creating a world that offered a happier life for everyone He only cared for his selfish interests and desires, but the speed and the scale at which he strived to gratify those interests and desires were so enorrowth of the kingdoreat architectural structures, city developments and construction of traffic networks wouldn’t have been possible without Weed’s achievements
“Lendpeace to this continent!”
The end of Weed’s persuasion
Emperor Geihar had no reason to refuse his request Weed was his only pupil who had followed his footsteps as a sculptor, and was a true successor of the Arpen Eerated truths that were planted inside the emperor’s head
‘How co to help his h to move his mind, but Weed had cleared all those quests for the continent and even rescued sculptural races on top of it And how respectful and affable had he been ever since he first met Geihar!
“I shall help… howevvver I cannn…”
The hero who united the Versailles Continent
Emperor Geihar accepted Weed’s request with a drunken tone
