V51C3P1 – Weed’s Song
In front of the eyes of Miretas the farht of the whole Garnav Plain in fla…”
So around with hirueso everywhere Spirits of fire are also running berserk in fear”
The Elves, who had the ability to hear and understand the speech of Spirits, spoke of the misery that befell this place As an aftereffect of the Su Meteors spell, Spirits of every element had been thrown into a confused state
“We should go help the people there They’ll need our Spirit Healing skills”
After the Elves had left in a hurry, Miretas stood there alone, deep in his own grave thought
‘So this is what Royal Road is like? People with great power having no qual others just because they have the power to do it?’
He recollected his past as a novice user
Because of the expensive land price in cities, he had picked out gravels and dug ays in a wasteland outside of soetables The happiness and satisfaction he felt, watching the seeds he had planted begin to sprout and grow inch by inch… When other users , he had rew hiether We’ve found a good hunting ground and made 10 Gold last tio next tiood in hunting”
Gradually he had begun to spend less and less time with his friends, those who he had known since his childhood During every heavy rain and drought he would tend to his crops worrying that soht happen to theet ruined by monsters or wild beasts, but he would plant seeds and plowed the field again and again
During the early days of Royal Road, there had been very few users who took interest in far With the whole vast Continent full of adventures awaiting everyone, growing sietables for days to sell the task for therown various crops and become friendly with the ricultural products
“You’re alorking hard Try planting these seeds too”
“I haven’t seen them before What are they?”
“A kind of flower… It is known to be favored by nobles I hear this flower is treated like soion, so it would be nice if we can grow it here as well”
These errow too Even after he had s withered and died if the sunlight was too hot or the as too strong The plants also needed a very specific amount of water; with just a little more or less than the appropriate ah passion, thinking and observation, Miretas had eventually succeeded in growing the Paradoria flowers into bloo
“This is it! The nobles will all love this beautiful flower!”
His Paradorias were traded at high prices in the local ion’s specialties after further quality i been able to sell all the flowers he had been personally growing for oods, Miretas had made a fortune He could have enjoyed faed himself to cultivate various other plants too He had purchased a piece of land and planted many different kinds of herbs, fruits and flowers as well as various rare, redients that were known to exist in only extrereat amount of fa iious guilds had been devastating the land through their wars and imposed heavy taxes on people, he had merely endured
‘This world is a beautiful place I’ll useskills to help enrich everyone’s life’
In the fordo enterprise in order to provide delicious and filling meals not only for the users, but for all the residents of the region He had eventually , but he still hadn’t expected that the Herth to destroy their ene that just preparing soh I was content with doing just one man’s share of work… But now I’ll show them the full extent of the power of land and trees’
“It hurts…”
“Urrgghh… I can’t believe this is how I die…”
The users who had contracted the Alkin disease were lying down on the ground; as it was an extre other people to identify the patients and thus preventing theer Mass Cure!”
Even the healing spells from the most determined priests did not have any effect The condition of the patients rapidly deteriorated, and the illness ate away their Life Force little by little
“Force of holy spirits, save this person suffering in agony Healing Touch!”
“Over here!”
“There’s a sick person here, too I think he’s about to die”
The priests tried to replenish people’s lost Life Force, but the nuround only increased over time Eventually the priests depleted all of their Mana to the point that they could no longer use Holy ic
< You have contracted the Alkin disease
The disease found its way into your system as your body’s resistances beca to feel dizzy
You suffer 11 points of dae to your Life Force every second
Your maximum Life Force and Mana have been reduced
Your Holy ic becomes less effective >
Even the priests, with their excellent resistance against diseases and curses due to divine protection, began to be infected by the Alkin disease one by one
“Stay away! There’s nothing we can do about this”
“Don’t get close to them!”
“Everyone, please, save the others even if you’ll have to abandon us here”
“I’ they had tried in order to cure the patients, in the end even the users with holy professions had no choice but to avoid contact with the infected
The users that were left out were lying on the ground, quarantined and perishi+ng slowly
“Sob I really wanted to put up a good fight, even though I would lose… But now…”
“My level is over 300 I never thought I would be killed by some disease”
“Those dirty Hermes bastards…”
So to hold out for as long as possible by chewing the herbs that help recover one’s Life Force Despite their effort they could not avoid the inevitable; those ere at higher levels could last for a longer time than others, but they all eventuallyto solve the proble the users who had contracted the disease, but the range of infection of the Alkin disease was quite extensive; even the users who had fled far distances becarow before the quarantine took effect
Halo, Rewiss and Gran
The quartet of backstabbers had been enjoying themselves in the Garnav Plain
“Let them have battles all they want, I couldn’t care less”
“True It’s really none of our concern”
“Kukuku I hope they’ll have a huge fight We’ve come all the way here to watch the war; I want it to be worth our trouble”
They had visited famous restaurants in the food alley where all kinds of delicacies could be found, and e Cult as well
“A backstabber needs some personal connections for his job, too, you know”
“daht We need to find out who are the easiest pushovers here first and accoeon And then… Stab!”
The quartet had not had a single care in the world as they had spent their tiood reason, too, as it was their plan to steer clear away froroup of four backstabbers would still be enjoying themselves if the Versailles Continent itself was to be destroyed
Even when the fla meteors struck the Garnav Plain, they were round, the tre from the impact sites that seemed to suffocate them even from such a far distance… It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience
“Wow, incredible”
“This is a This is the true scale of a war!”
“The Hermes Guild sure doesn’t disappoint”
“I ere like Lafaye or Bard Ray Then I would make itdown all those towns… It sure would be so much fun”
It was an emotional ht it was to behold… And even better was the opportunity which would present itself once this confusion has passed: an opportunity to take advantage of the wounded users
“Let’s find so from the injuries”
“Yes We can pretend to help and approach them, and then… Slit!”
“Kuhuhuhu Are we already setting off to do so”
The four backstabbers ran towards the impact sites of thepan, and blazing flaround
“This place is dangerous”
A user stepped in to block their path, but Halrave tone
“That’s no probleht all die if you go further!”
In the past they probably would have gotten past this user by force, but over time the quartet had turned into a more advanced form of villains
“What do our lives ? What’s the point of holding o there If there’s anyone who’s still alive we’ll find the deeply ot closer to the area where the meteors hit
“This used to be a food alley only a while ago I re the owner to get so left now”
The ground had caved in deeply, and the buildings had turned into ruin A few people here and there were stilldue to the fires that were leaping up froh…”
“Hey, there’s someone alive”
The backstabber quartet s were quite brightly lit because of the fire, they could carry out soht was blocked The person they approached had his lower body under a large rock Even so, they could see his broad shoulder, well-developed neck muscles and cauliflower ear[1]
He was none other than Geomchi3
“Gasp!”
