Reorganized questions
Volume 28 : Chapter 8 (Hyun Lee's fake death drama sequence)
Seoyun go to the salon to get her hair styled. She then went to the department store to buy some fancy clothes.
"I’ll make some food for him.”
She was depressed with the fate of Lee Hyun.
Ray Bard and Hermes Guild defeated Heuksaja guild.
Hermes, the top guild in Royal Road suddenly ambushed and battled Heuksaja guild by surprise was tactically superior.
At the conclusion of the battle, priests and wizards, warriors were better working better in cooperation.
Hastily gathering together, heuksaja guild members sacrificed so many members, but all of their efforts were in vain.
Ray Bard.
Showdown at the head of the guild races, Ray Bard've achieved an overwhelming victory after the fight he was haebona mana.
Completely dug pitfalls, Hermes 200 Guild reinforcements show up on the fourth floor of the basement.
Pale and the late Irene, Surka, Hwaryeong, Romune, Jaffe, Seechwi, Seoyun arrived and ran into the Hermes Guild members who came out from the mine.
Ray Bard didn’t even have to fight. Salvo of archers and wizards ranged attacks will cause death by a wide range of attacks.
Through numerous attacks seoyun could still kill seven people, even though the crossfire could not help the Berserker.
Hermes guild temporarily retreated to the teleport gate and temporarily gone after feeling satisfied from completing their objectives.
Seoyun worried more about Lee Hyun’s character in Royal Road than hers.
God of war, he was selflessly defeated and killed.
The hard part is the fact that every victory comes with looting. She also knows it, so she always tries to protect her equipment and never get killed by a common monster.
If someone lost the fight and die like that, also losing armor, that person will be devastated by the loss.
'Beautiful and needs her. "
Seoyun carrying a basket and headed home on Lee Hyun.
As she walked in the neighborhood, she saw a grandmother dressed in shabby clothes pushing a cart that contained recycled materials.
"I can help you."
Seoyun took the handle of the cart to help the grandmother.
Lee Hyun put so much unused stuff piled on the cart in which the cart becomes heavy.
"Young Girl, don’t do this because people will be watching ..... This is pretty heavy and difficult to push for you. "
Syusyusyusyusyusyuk!
The cart rolled smoothly!
Gently pushing the cart, seoyun said.
"Where do you want to send this?"
"It is all right, my home is near."
"Then let me know where the house is. I'll take you. "
" You do not have to do that ......."
"I wanted to do it all the time."
"This is quite far away, my dear."
"I'm fine. I can give you a ride. "
Seoyun good work even if a little sad to Lee Hyun felt less likely to happen.
These lucky enough to want to lean vat, Lee Hyun sad look that I did not want to see.
I feel that you should go and sooth him, and I can not bear to see so much sadness I guess now I can not bear watching him go mad from grief.
Just dont worry if your greater prized armor is not lost. (very jumbled wordings make me confused at this bit)
Seoyun the road to guide the grandmother went to the hill.
"That's not that far from where she lives ......'
Lee Hyun climb a slope in the neighborhood come and narrow shabby house, my grandma's house in a place where they had gathered.
"But malyiwoo lady."
"Yes, Grandma."
"Look under the fig tree in the yard with seokryurang way do we go to the house?"
Lee Hyun grew up a few fruit trees in the house.
Apples, pears, peaches, chestnuts, I tried to raise the base and, if possible gyulkkaji.
"How'd you know?"
"A few times I saw him go."
Climb the ramp be attached next to my grandmother as seoyun pushed carts.
“Are you in a relationship with the young man inside that house?”
"I'm not."
"Do you want to come in to my house for some tea?"
In good terms with the grandmother, but inviting to came into the house for a small talk was way too much!
Seoyun face blows hot red.
“I think the young man is glad to have met a nice girl like you. You two make a good couple.”
"......."
“That young man is very famous in this town among us old people.”
Okay.
Lee Hyun, not only famous in Royal Road but also in the town. This fact is a new thing for Seoyun.
Charged with debts, or
Haengpae the bill if you know any or have not even blackmail was concerned, Eulji.
"It was the old boy to young man, very tenacious even as alive. He wants his sister raised a beondeuthage ....."
Okay.
“The young boy delivered milk, newspaper on the neighborhood. He also carried luggage on the market (working as a coolie/delivery boy) fruit store, but I could not give any money. I then tried to trade in the market, but he came to me and I said to leave me alone. I feared he would try to steal something so I chased him….how sorry I am when I did that.”
Ah...
Seoyun saw how Lee Hyun lived his past life. Having lived so hard to be that diligent.
"Later, the boy buy a house ... How's it was. But then could it be from the past year and a half? ? Would such a person wanted to live like this. My business soured at some point and I’m tricked from my money and gone bankrupt. Still alive, trying to collect trash to live, while the boy at some point passed by.
Instead of speaking Seoyun remained silent, still listening to the old lady.
She felt a lump in her throat denying her ability to speak.
“Lee Hyun gives particularly good information, even though he doesn’t give anything to help, but as I’m muttering to myself.”
“Why are you walking around here all the time? I go to the bottom of the park; there are many empty bottles and cans there.”
She realized that in this life such a word was valuable information.
Lee Hyun spoke again while looking at the distant hills.
"Let's report to the district office workers, you can obtain child care allowances, even if you don’t have any children as evidence to prove it.”
She then realized that she is in a really difficult situation. She didn’t think of applying for welfare benefits, but thanks to the advice she received the support and able to live and celebrate in the winter without any difficulties.
“Last winter, our house has rice and kimchi in the morning, and electric blankets was set up. I’ve felt worse before, but I and other elderly people in the neighborhood live a difficult life.
Would have costs quite a lot of money ...... Some elderly, the young man in the middle of the night to repair the house back. Believe it. "
"I thought so."
"Not long ago the snow went down so I can not work. But during the day the young man wrapped sushi with seaweed and stuck it in front of the house without telling.
“Noone want to eat this, but I don’t want to throw it out. If you want to eat this then take it home.
"Never do you want to eat people I do not have to eat ?? create. If you want to eat and take home. Just kind that you just created. "
"Thank you. How nice of you. "
“I do not waste food that I like to make, I guess.”
I made my sister a lot of food a day for about half a month.
“And I want you to eat and save that pasta I gave you for a while. Do not let the snow make you sick…hospital costs are too expensive now so try to keep your body warm and healthy. “
Tears fell in Seoyun’s eyes.
She seemed to know. Lee Hyun experienced pain in the past, the other sick people would have been able to understand his feelings.
(warning: very jumbled phrases and paragraphs, so If anyone can fix this II’ll be very grateful)
His grandma and I hang out together, and when she went to a hospital due to sickness, rather worried about him to pay the medical bills. She told me that in this neighborhood, to elderly people who do not help the boy. I heard her children learn to live without a parent buys a book. Wealthy people do not know who is a better person….”
(dramatic sequence starts here, thank god the machine translations got clearer)
Seoyun after giving a ride to the old lady, went to Lee Hyun’s home.
Walwalwal!
The big dog barkings felt strangely lonely without any spirit.
"No way ......'
Seoyun feel uneasy in her chest, feel ing the worst while opening the gate.
Nearly as many as seven of the pad lock, often bought from cheap second rate tool shop.
She walked on shaky legs to the front door and stood in front of the yard.
Reflected dimly in the living room, someone was lying there.
'Nooo!'
Seoyun hastily opened the door to the living room.
Lee Hyun was lying still on the living room floor, not moving.
"Heuheuheuheuheuk."
Her heart pounding like crazy, her tears came out as hot like boiling water.
What has been an expensive makeup from the salon/beauty parlor instantly became a mess.
But such things was not bothering Seoyun, as she had a bigger thing that broke her heart.
The door in the heart that was slowly opening is beginning to shut close again.
'When I was a kid ... The same thing happened. '
Seoyun was a very young kid, when she saw something that she really did not want to see.
She had a large wound to the heart due to long hours, and Lee Hyun-healing it, and even if harboring hopes she was pretty careful.......
With two distinct personalities, Seoyun who has fallen (the older, kinder self) and those who want war are starting to surface.
"For me, you are ......."
Her legs lose power to stand and staggered on the floor.
She was scared to even get close to Hyun Lee.
Having pushed the cart, now her whole body had robbed of its energy.
"Why, why did you go. Why ......."
Seoyun sobbed. She won’t be able to laugh again in the future because of the same grief she experienced now.
The heuneukkyeotda seoyun. Again, just like the future will not be laughing milryeowatda grief.
Lee Hyun’s body started twitching.
Since he’s still alive, she is thinking to call an ambulance as soon as possible ......
"Kkeoeoeoeoeok!"
There is a long burp.
He suddenly sit up straight while waking up to the sound on the other side of the living room, the dining table not cleared yet with kimchi fried rice and traces of spaghetti that showed signs of eating.
Lee Hyun looked at his surroundings and mumbled.
“I ate too much; I guess I fell asleep after taking a dump from the toilet.”
Then in front door, Seoyun who’s still in tears suddenly released a violent aura mixed with hate as she gave a glare that will not be forgotten ever since.
---------------------------------------
So I am guessing the reasoning why the wedding rings and his reject death didnt trigger was because he died too fast but ... how does that make any sense? Was this ever explained in the skill description that you have to die slowly for the items/skills to work or did that just pop out of nowhere to allow Ray Bard to win. At least when he died on sacred ground it made more sense that reject death would not activate this time it was just kind of complete B.S. In other news why was he acting like he was a dumb NPC boss and targetting a tank instead of going for support/healers/squishies? He had an absolute speed advantage but he didnt use it to hit and run and probably take out squishies in 2-3 hits? It just seems so ridiculous for him to focus on the highest level, best geared, and tanky class with all the other options available. I mean if he was going to go all stupid mono-el-mono vs a higher level knight you would have thought he would at least change to Ice Troll to increase his fighting stats. Also if he had mana would have been nice to see him use stoneskin ... he keeps using the whole "close your eyes in middle of combat" but never stoneskin. I mean it costs probably a decent chunk of mana but if he just turns it on for a split second of impact it probably wouldnt be more than ~100.
------------------------------------------------------
to the wedding rings, as I understood to activate their ability the other one has to agree to this before it takes effect (and perhaps even requested beforehand, but there i m not sure). so if seyoun does respond to slow, in that case perhaps not immediately, the ability will not work. and with becoming undead, wasnt it only a chance of becoming undead? as I recal there was a percentage chance of becoming undead for him, that´s why I even wondered how he managed it so often before Very Happy the thing about attacking the squishys is already answered. I also wondered why he dont use stoneskin in the volumes 20+. my explanation was that he doesnt want the slowing effect for his moves, because he gets a speed penalty to his attacks and movement speed when he uses that skin (only logical by becoming stone xD ).
----------------------------------------------------
One of the reasons reject death didn't activate was because he was bombarded by holy spells. The reason why he didnt go for the squishies was because what was said above and also he went after the dragon so it could cause more mayhem and kill as many of the guild as possible. He was looking for a way to escape and survive against a whole army, but didn't manage in the end.
-----------------------
As for why Reject Death and the Wedding Ring bonuses didn't apply, those are explained explicitly in the volume. Reject death has a 100% base chance of triggering on death, with penalties and bonuses applied based on the method and location of death. Because he was cursed and bound by holy magic, his low level of reject death wasn't enough to overcome the penalty of necromancy against holy magic and so he failed to become undead. Thought of another way, his body was sanctified and purified by the holy spells, making undeath impossible at his current level of unholy corruption. As for why the Wedding Rings didn't apply, it's because the option to share life is only available if the user falls below a certain percentage of life. The problem was that Weed was so incapacitated by the magic and stun effects from Ray's support that the last hit had so many bonuses to damage he went from 'too high' to 'zero' in one strike.
As for the fight itself...I too thought he should've focused on the healers and let the boss whittle everyone down without that support. However, something we don't consider is this is set in a true VR game and can't be thought of using current game mechanics. That sort of train of thought is like saying "fighting an army is easy, just ignore the soldiers and attack the officers". In practice its a little bit harder than that. In theory his agility was so high he could've run circles around everyone on the ceiling and taken pot shots at the squishies. In practice he tried to make a decisive blow from a surprise attack, but several things took place. His opponents were high level and had good gear so he had to waste time and couldn't finish it quickly enough, the group is well coordinated so they were able to react to the surprise attack very quickly, and he suffered a loss of reputation and stats due to 'dishonorable actions'. The tank characters quickly blocked off his access to the squishies and the priests delegated some people to keeping everyone he was able to hit up. It was a war of attrition, but with so many targets he wasn't doing enough damage to punch through when they could just rotate out and get healed up again as he took fire from archers and magi as well. Then Ray Bard shows up and two things change. One, he engages in combat with a high enough opponent with full support behind him so he closes in to cut off the ranged component of the fight as they hold fire to avoid hitting Ray Bard. Two, he's presented with an all or nothing gamble to cripple the guild as defeating Ray Bard would make him fail that portion of his quest and set him back significantly. As long as Ray Bard is alive and defeats the monster, he advances his master quest line, but taking him out means he'll have to either redo or do something else. Then things go to crap and he gets bound up by spells and gets the crap beaten out of him.
As for why he couldn't turn into an Ice Troll? No statue (damn thing is too big to carry around) and I doubt the Hermes guild is going to wait patiently while he makes one. Also, from what I remember the place was pretty hot so using a cold type creature would've been bad anyways. Weed then goes through the list of his abilities and vetoes each one as they are either impractical for the cost/benefit or unavailable as he does not have the time and resources to prepare them. He mentioned that if he had a sculpture of a volcano it would've been perfect, but sadly did not prepare one ahead of time. As for why no stone skin? Stone skin applies a penalty to agility and ability cost in addition to those benefits in damage reduction. There is also the constant mana drain and mana cost to consider as well. Since Weed is not a combat orientated class, his abilities all have high cost and high reward making them mana intensive to use. He also is an agility type player who focuses more on dodging the enemy attack than soaking it up with heavy and slow armor. That means cold eyes (which costs nothing to use and can be employed anytime with no penalty) is more effective for him than stone skin (which slows him down and makes his abilities cost more).
---------------------------------
From what I could tell, by the end Weed was hitting Ray a lot more often than Weed was being hit, but because of Ray's really high defense/armor it was only doing a small amount of damage, whereas Weed was taking a huge amount of damage with each hit. I understand (given their classes/equipment) why that would be, but why didn't Weed use his Engraving Knife technique to eliminate Ray's defenses? Was there some reason he couldn't, or that it wouldn't work?
----------------------------------------
What I was referring to was in volume 28 and its called "Knights of the Goddess Armor and apparently it’s a mixture of helium + mithril. He makes it to replace the armor he lost to Ray bard. The helium he used was taken from the torch sculpture that he broke down. So I am not sure if it was because the helium had already been used as part of sculpture or what that allowed him to make armor (blacksmith) with the helium despite it supposedly taking advanced level 8 blacksmithing to use.
/////////////////////////////////////////////
He melted the torch sculpture down to obtain the helium again ~ that why he received a penalty for destroying his sculpture
-------------------------------------
Weed needs to get the gems from that mine, not sure what it’s called. But to get into the mine you have to pay or be a member of the guild that runs it, so he calls up someone that’s translated as Hegel, but i can’t figure out who that is.... At first I thought it was his college friends that he meet when he was shapeshifted as a dwarf, but i can’t figure out what volume that was in to verify
///////////////////////////////////////
It was his college friends. And yes, Hegel was in the party from when Weed was a dwarf. And didn't he just randomly meet Hegel? Since Weed has the same face as his real face, so Hegel recognized him immediately and was all like "hey do you want to come with me?" And since that saved Weed money, Weed went? And as for which volume it was with the dwarf thing....Vol 15 (around 20% of the way through, I converted the pdf file into another format so idk where it is in the pdf version
--------------------------------------------------------------
Vol 28 Okay finally read the part where Weed and Bards duel. Hermes freaking priests and Mages interfered >: The reason the ring effect didn't activative was probably because the damage was too sudden, like the rings would activate if he just went past 50% his life but Ray's attack probably took it all down in an instant. That or the ring effect may have occured already, it said something about Weed being at like 29%hp when he was fighting Ray bards group. As for why reject death didn't work, it seems the priests or Ray himself did a holy buff on his sword, and since Weed's reject death wasn't high enough level(think it was raised by dying and reviving) it wasn't enough to counter the holy sword. Happens in volume 28 look up "The noble sword.st.flame." there were some spaces but you get the idea
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Also, what gears did Weed lose from dying to Ray? He still have the bar kahn gear? Iono specifics on what items you lose when you die since people carry everything with them
------------------------------------------------------
1) hegel is guy from college and he remembers weed as a dwarf right?
1) Yes. The guy is also a member of the guild (heuksaja?) that owns the mine, hence why Weed asked him for help. It got him out of paying the exorbitant entrance fees.
1. Yes, Hegel was the one of the people who Weed saved from the spider lair. And yes, he was from the school
-------------------------------------
2) what are the names of the people that accompany them to the mine? i think its only an alice and dineneun but i keep seeing a catherine pop up in the conversations
2. There were two girls I believe. They were just no-name tag-alongs
-------------------------------------
3) did weed leave his guild, something wilderness?
3) No, he’s still part of it.
-------------------------------------
4) what guild owns the mine and charges ppl to enter it?
4. I forgot the exact name since I haven't read that in a long time, but it was the same guild that Hegel was in (which was why Weed went with Hegel in the first place: because he could get in for free) Its most likely the Heuksaja guild (going off of your Question #7)
4) I think it was heuksaja.
-------------------------------------
5) wat part of ray bard does the SS represent?
5. SS=Ray Bard's Guards/personal force I think?
5) I don’t understand the question; could you clarify?
-------------------------------------
6) did weed totally go screw hunting let’s make sculptures instead?
6) Yep. Smile From his perspective the monsters on the upper floors were too low level to be worth bothering with, and the others were handling the monsters just fine, so he figured he might as well not totally waste his time.
6. They were fighting level 200ish things I believe? Anyways, the monsters were weak as hell so Weed got bored and decided to make some sculptures to improve his skill while passing time.
-------------------------------------
7) who attacked heuksaja guild when weeds party discovered the new dungeon?
7) The Hermes guild are the ones assaulting the mine, since Ray Bard is combining his master quest with expanding his power base.
7. You got the order a little bit wrong I believe. Here's what happened: Weed&Co were in level 2 or 3 of the mine (which had a total of 4 levels with each level having harder monsters). Hermes Guild invade, with assassin teams killing everybody inside. When Ray Bard enters the mine, a hidden Fifth Floor suddenly appears, activated by his Black Knight Master Quest. Weed learns about the Hermes guild invading from Hegel (which found out from his guild chat) and rushes to the fourth floor to mine the sapphires and finish his quest (pwning all the mobs on the way). Weed and Co is approached by hunt-kill teams from Hermes. Weed wipes them out and summons Vampire Lord Tori and Death Knight Van Hawke. This is when his friends realize that Weed is the Weed. Hegel goes "OMG guys! You're never going to guess who I'm with on his guild chat, revealing Weed's presence to the Hermes guild. Also, the 3 people friend Weed.
-------------------------------------
8) the war in the mines forced weed to go deeper at a faster pace thus showing off his godliness right?
8. See answer 7
8) Yep.
-------------------------------------
9) when did they finally figure out weed is god of war weed?
9. See answer 7
9) After he starts fighting the assassins of Hermes, they eventually figure it out.
-------------------------------------
10) wat was weed and violations fight about ugg boots?
10) Don’t remember.
10. Violations (Weed's Sister) was telling Hwaryeong the one fault of her brother: his lack of a fashion sense. One Christmas, she wanted some type of really exposed footwear of some sort. However, Weed said she couldn't buy it because it would be unhealthy to be wearing that type of shoes in the snow. Hwareyong sympathizes with Weed's sister
-------------------------------------
11) so if hermes had spy in heuksaja that knew bout weed, does that mean hegel was blabbing to his guild?
11. See answer 7
11) The assassins that Weed was killing are the ones that informed Hermes guild (over the guild chat) that Weed was present; Hegel is the one who informed heuksaja guild.
-------------------------------------
12) how come weed never used that freya armor b4?
12) A combination of him not being high enough level and not fighting enemies important/strong enough to use it on; Weed often doesn’t wear his best equipment day-to-day because it makes him stand out/makes him a target.
12. Weed has always worn Freya's Armor ever since he got it from the Plains of Despair (?) With the exception of the times when he's an undead of course.
-------------------------------------
13) wat kinda boss is hermes guild fighting?
13) Some extremely high level (well over 500) monster; I don’t know the details, but I think it was some sort of creature from hell.
13. Idk, sounds like a demon or some large humanoid of some type
-------------------------------------
14) who is dante and wats the quest about bingryong asking him to do?
14) Don’t remember.
14. Dante is just this random person that started out in Mora. Think of him as the author giving an example of a starter newbie in Mora. The quest was not assigned by Bingrong but by one of the villagers. What the villager said was that in addition to Bingrong, Weed had also sculpted another sculpture in Mora. Dante's quest was to find that sculputre: the ice sculpture of Seoyun
-------------------------------------
15) did weed start building a road to the surrounding villages from mora?
15) Probably? I don’t remember this, but it sounds like the sort of thing he’d do.
15. There might have always been roads there (i think), but the merchants and Mora definitely expanded them
-------------------------------------
16) if he changed to adventurer class wat was dantes original one?
16. Dante originally wanted to be an Ice element Wizard (which was why he could use a spell that chilled the Seoyun Statue
16) Don’t remember.
-------------------------------------
17) did the husband of the boss that hermes guild killed make a deal with weed?
17) It’s more like the monster wanted to know who killed its mate, and Weed said the Hermes guild did, so they had a sort of truce while they fought Hermes guild. If they’d won both of them were planning to fight each other next.
17. Not really, Weed was attacking Ray Bard while the actual boss (the first "boss" was just his wife) was attacking the tanks of the raid
-------------------------------------
18) ray bard got out a lightning spear and a horse to chase after weed?
18) Yes. The spear did AOE damage (so even a “miss” hurt Weed) and after using a statue Weed’s dexterity was so high that the only way Ray Bard could catch him was with the horse.
18. Ray Bard had an ability to summon his horse which was the fastest in the kingdom (kinda like Weed's summon sculpture skill I guess). And yeah, I think Ray also used a spear (which I believed he obtained from another of his Master Quests)
-------------------------------------
19) Zephyr tried using weeds situation as a way to get closer to hyeon?
19) Don’t remember.
19. I forgot
-------------------------------------
21) he didn’t use natural catastrophe because it would kill him as well right?
21) NO. After it became clear that he was going to loose Weed probably would have liked to use natural catastrophe, but he didn’t have an appropriate carving made to cause the disaster, and there was no way to make one in the middle of a battle.
21. It was because he had nothing appropriate for the situation. Things like causing a volcano to erupt would be useless since addition to dying, he would be sacrificing stats in order to use the catastrophe carving skill.
------------------------------------
22) ray bard was being constantly buffed and healed right?
22) Not really. He was buffed before the fight (for the battle against the monster), and when Weed sent the Death Knight and Tori after Ray Bard the priests cast a spell that temporarily made him invulnerable to all damage, but that’s it. Ray Bard originally wanted a one-on-one fight with Weed. Oh, and at the very end the priests cast a spell that temporarily immobilized Weed.
22. Ray was healed and had a buff that turned him invincible for 2 min (or something) while he was fighting the Death Knight and Vampire Lord. I don't think he was buffed by anybody else while he was fighting Weed one on one (but Weed had plenty of debuffs stacked on him by the wizards)
------------------------------------
23) weed took 1000s of dmg while ray bard only took 100s because weed didn’t have outside buffs and good armor right?
23) Weed had very good armor; Ray Bards was just significantly better. Also, besides the buffs, Ray Bard was a significantly higher level than Weed, and was a combat class, which gives him a significant advantage in a stand up fight. A Moonlight Sculptor has a lot of cool abilities, but in just straight-up fighting he’s at a disadvantage against Ray Bard’s class.
23. And the fact that Ray Bard was ridiculously higher level then Weed. Also, Ray Bard received weapons and armor from his Master Questline while Weed is still using stuff he got 25 Volumes ago.
------------------------------------
24) his reject death skill failed because its lvl was too low to overcome the divine energy or because it was simply by chance?
24) Basically. The skill is still fairly low level (since it levels up when Weed successfully rejects death, and he doesn’t die all that often), so the spells the priests cast to paralyze Weed were enough to prevent the skill from activating, similar to when he died in the dungeon underneath the temple while he was undead.
24. Ray Bard's attack was a light (or fire) based holy (?) attack. Because Weed's resurrection level was too low, he couldn't revive with his corpse saturated with holy power. (same reason as why he couldn't revive while he was ambushed by the Hermes guild in the Holy Monastery when he was doing the Bar Khan undead quests)
------------------------------------
25) was the guild war more important than the weed vs ray bard battle to the media stations? cant be sure of translation order
25) I think both were important to them.
25. It was a big shock that the Hermes guild preemptively sneak attacked the other guild. The fact that Weed and Ray Bard were fighting was also a big "OMG" for most people.
------------------------------------
26) was the lady seoyun met lee hyuns grandma or some1 who knew him?
26. Nope, it was Weed's elderly neighbor/person he helped.
------------------------------------
27) did the lady go outta business and lee hyun helped her?
27. She talked about how Weed always helped her with tasks and also helped the homeless/poor sometimes
------------------------------------
28) did seoyun think weed died for a moment there?
28) She was afraid he couldn’t handle his loss and might have committed suicide. Smile
28. It’s actually kind of funny. After hearing about how harsh Weed's life was (raised in poverty, harassed by loan sharks, etc.) and finding out that Royal Road was the reason why Weed could support his family, Seoyun rushed into Weeds house to find him lying on the floor (?) unresponsive. Panicked, she thought that Weed had committed suicide/died due to his loss from Ray Bard. Then the scene switches to Weed where he wakes up with a loud belch, thinking "huh? I must of fallen asleep on the floor." Then he looks up and find Seoyun half joyful and half pissed. The scene then skips to a little bit later, with Weed commenting how violent Seoyun was xD.
------------------------------------
29) which guild won, heuksaja or hermes?
29) Hermes. Hermes had had their assassins set up a lot of traps on the upper floors that heuksaja guild just powered through because they were in a hurry. Then once the battle was fully joined, Hermes had another force in hiding that no one knew about, which attacked from behind and killed all of heuksaja’s priests, after which they had no chance against Hermes.
29. The Hermes guild drew back after Ray finished the quest so technically, the Heukjasa guild "won" although it was more of a, "we already taken everything we want so we're going to leave now."
------------------------------------
30) wats that alter ego of ash?
30. Idk? However, Ash is a fencing master NPC (kinda like how Zaha Beu is a Engraving Master)
------------------------------------
31) did fail and co arrive at the mines after weed died?
31) Yes.
------------------------------------
32) so the ice sculpture of seoyun got moved to moras center?
32. Either that or onto a pedestal in the streets.
32) Yes.
------------------------------------
33) did weed get really jealous at ron alves when he learned he said he reached "only" lvl 553?
33) More or less.
------------------------------------
34) all of weeds speech had some ulterior motive right?
34. What Weed said: I intend to make Abreuphen a city of adventure for all. What Weed meant: come to this city and give me your tax money
34) Always
------------------------------------
35) wats fail and co worried about?
35. How Weed is exploiting everybody into making the Hestia Sculpture lol. All the newbs were like "Weed is awesome!" and the people who knew Weed were like "poor workers :*("
35) You’ll need to be more specific.
------------------------------------
36) wats weed sculpting and did he invite every1 to help?
36) He’s creating the “Garden of the Gods,” see next volume for more details.
36. He's sculpting a statue of Hestia and yes, he invited everyone to "help" with the sculpture. (aka: lug stones xD
Volume 28 : Chapter 8 (Hyun Lee's fake death drama sequence)
Seoyun go to the salon to get her hair styled. She then went to the department store to buy some fancy clothes.
"I’ll make some food for him.”
She was depressed with the fate of Lee Hyun.
Ray Bard and Hermes Guild defeated Heuksaja guild.
Hermes, the top guild in Royal Road suddenly ambushed and battled Heuksaja guild by surprise was tactically superior.
At the conclusion of the battle, priests and wizards, warriors were better working better in cooperation.
Hastily gathering together, heuksaja guild members sacrificed so many members, but all of their efforts were in vain.
Ray Bard.
Showdown at the head of the guild races, Ray Bard've achieved an overwhelming victory after the fight he was haebona mana.
Completely dug pitfalls, Hermes 200 Guild reinforcements show up on the fourth floor of the basement.
Pale and the late Irene, Surka, Hwaryeong, Romune, Jaffe, Seechwi, Seoyun arrived and ran into the Hermes Guild members who came out from the mine.
Ray Bard didn’t even have to fight. Salvo of archers and wizards ranged attacks will cause death by a wide range of attacks.
Through numerous attacks seoyun could still kill seven people, even though the crossfire could not help the Berserker.
Hermes guild temporarily retreated to the teleport gate and temporarily gone after feeling satisfied from completing their objectives.
Seoyun worried more about Lee Hyun’s character in Royal Road than hers.
God of war, he was selflessly defeated and killed.
The hard part is the fact that every victory comes with looting. She also knows it, so she always tries to protect her equipment and never get killed by a common monster.
If someone lost the fight and die like that, also losing armor, that person will be devastated by the loss.
'Beautiful and needs her. "
Seoyun carrying a basket and headed home on Lee Hyun.
As she walked in the neighborhood, she saw a grandmother dressed in shabby clothes pushing a cart that contained recycled materials.
"I can help you."
Seoyun took the handle of the cart to help the grandmother.
Lee Hyun put so much unused stuff piled on the cart in which the cart becomes heavy.
"Young Girl, don’t do this because people will be watching ..... This is pretty heavy and difficult to push for you. "
Syusyusyusyusyusyuk!
The cart rolled smoothly!
Gently pushing the cart, seoyun said.
"Where do you want to send this?"
"It is all right, my home is near."
"Then let me know where the house is. I'll take you. "
" You do not have to do that ......."
"I wanted to do it all the time."
"This is quite far away, my dear."
"I'm fine. I can give you a ride. "
Seoyun good work even if a little sad to Lee Hyun felt less likely to happen.
These lucky enough to want to lean vat, Lee Hyun sad look that I did not want to see.
I feel that you should go and sooth him, and I can not bear to see so much sadness I guess now I can not bear watching him go mad from grief.
Just dont worry if your greater prized armor is not lost. (very jumbled wordings make me confused at this bit)
Seoyun the road to guide the grandmother went to the hill.
"That's not that far from where she lives ......'
Lee Hyun climb a slope in the neighborhood come and narrow shabby house, my grandma's house in a place where they had gathered.
"But malyiwoo lady."
"Yes, Grandma."
"Look under the fig tree in the yard with seokryurang way do we go to the house?"
Lee Hyun grew up a few fruit trees in the house.
Apples, pears, peaches, chestnuts, I tried to raise the base and, if possible gyulkkaji.
"How'd you know?"
"A few times I saw him go."
Climb the ramp be attached next to my grandmother as seoyun pushed carts.
“Are you in a relationship with the young man inside that house?”
"I'm not."
"Do you want to come in to my house for some tea?"
In good terms with the grandmother, but inviting to came into the house for a small talk was way too much!
Seoyun face blows hot red.
“I think the young man is glad to have met a nice girl like you. You two make a good couple.”
"......."
“That young man is very famous in this town among us old people.”
Okay.
Lee Hyun, not only famous in Royal Road but also in the town. This fact is a new thing for Seoyun.
Charged with debts, or
Haengpae the bill if you know any or have not even blackmail was concerned, Eulji.
"It was the old boy to young man, very tenacious even as alive. He wants his sister raised a beondeuthage ....."
Okay.
“The young boy delivered milk, newspaper on the neighborhood. He also carried luggage on the market (working as a coolie/delivery boy) fruit store, but I could not give any money. I then tried to trade in the market, but he came to me and I said to leave me alone. I feared he would try to steal something so I chased him….how sorry I am when I did that.”
Ah...
Seoyun saw how Lee Hyun lived his past life. Having lived so hard to be that diligent.
"Later, the boy buy a house ... How's it was. But then could it be from the past year and a half? ? Would such a person wanted to live like this. My business soured at some point and I’m tricked from my money and gone bankrupt. Still alive, trying to collect trash to live, while the boy at some point passed by.
Instead of speaking Seoyun remained silent, still listening to the old lady.
She felt a lump in her throat denying her ability to speak.
“Lee Hyun gives particularly good information, even though he doesn’t give anything to help, but as I’m muttering to myself.”
“Why are you walking around here all the time? I go to the bottom of the park; there are many empty bottles and cans there.”
She realized that in this life such a word was valuable information.
Lee Hyun spoke again while looking at the distant hills.
"Let's report to the district office workers, you can obtain child care allowances, even if you don’t have any children as evidence to prove it.”
She then realized that she is in a really difficult situation. She didn’t think of applying for welfare benefits, but thanks to the advice she received the support and able to live and celebrate in the winter without any difficulties.
“Last winter, our house has rice and kimchi in the morning, and electric blankets was set up. I’ve felt worse before, but I and other elderly people in the neighborhood live a difficult life.
Would have costs quite a lot of money ...... Some elderly, the young man in the middle of the night to repair the house back. Believe it. "
"I thought so."
"Not long ago the snow went down so I can not work. But during the day the young man wrapped sushi with seaweed and stuck it in front of the house without telling.
“Noone want to eat this, but I don’t want to throw it out. If you want to eat this then take it home.
"Never do you want to eat people I do not have to eat ?? create. If you want to eat and take home. Just kind that you just created. "
"Thank you. How nice of you. "
“I do not waste food that I like to make, I guess.”
I made my sister a lot of food a day for about half a month.
“And I want you to eat and save that pasta I gave you for a while. Do not let the snow make you sick…hospital costs are too expensive now so try to keep your body warm and healthy. “
Tears fell in Seoyun’s eyes.
She seemed to know. Lee Hyun experienced pain in the past, the other sick people would have been able to understand his feelings.
(warning: very jumbled phrases and paragraphs, so If anyone can fix this II’ll be very grateful)
His grandma and I hang out together, and when she went to a hospital due to sickness, rather worried about him to pay the medical bills. She told me that in this neighborhood, to elderly people who do not help the boy. I heard her children learn to live without a parent buys a book. Wealthy people do not know who is a better person….”
(dramatic sequence starts here, thank god the machine translations got clearer)
Seoyun after giving a ride to the old lady, went to Lee Hyun’s home.
Walwalwal!
The big dog barkings felt strangely lonely without any spirit.
"No way ......'
Seoyun feel uneasy in her chest, feel ing the worst while opening the gate.
Nearly as many as seven of the pad lock, often bought from cheap second rate tool shop.
She walked on shaky legs to the front door and stood in front of the yard.
Reflected dimly in the living room, someone was lying there.
'Nooo!'
Seoyun hastily opened the door to the living room.
Lee Hyun was lying still on the living room floor, not moving.
"Heuheuheuheuheuk."
Her heart pounding like crazy, her tears came out as hot like boiling water.
What has been an expensive makeup from the salon/beauty parlor instantly became a mess.
But such things was not bothering Seoyun, as she had a bigger thing that broke her heart.
The door in the heart that was slowly opening is beginning to shut close again.
'When I was a kid ... The same thing happened. '
Seoyun was a very young kid, when she saw something that she really did not want to see.
She had a large wound to the heart due to long hours, and Lee Hyun-healing it, and even if harboring hopes she was pretty careful.......
With two distinct personalities, Seoyun who has fallen (the older, kinder self) and those who want war are starting to surface.
"For me, you are ......."
Her legs lose power to stand and staggered on the floor.
She was scared to even get close to Hyun Lee.
Having pushed the cart, now her whole body had robbed of its energy.
"Why, why did you go. Why ......."
Seoyun sobbed. She won’t be able to laugh again in the future because of the same grief she experienced now.
The heuneukkyeotda seoyun. Again, just like the future will not be laughing milryeowatda grief.
Lee Hyun’s body started twitching.
Since he’s still alive, she is thinking to call an ambulance as soon as possible ......
"Kkeoeoeoeoeok!"
There is a long burp.
He suddenly sit up straight while waking up to the sound on the other side of the living room, the dining table not cleared yet with kimchi fried rice and traces of spaghetti that showed signs of eating.
Lee Hyun looked at his surroundings and mumbled.
“I ate too much; I guess I fell asleep after taking a dump from the toilet.”
Then in front door, Seoyun who’s still in tears suddenly released a violent aura mixed with hate as she gave a glare that will not be forgotten ever since.
---------------------------------------
So I am guessing the reasoning why the wedding rings and his reject death didnt trigger was because he died too fast but ... how does that make any sense? Was this ever explained in the skill description that you have to die slowly for the items/skills to work or did that just pop out of nowhere to allow Ray Bard to win. At least when he died on sacred ground it made more sense that reject death would not activate this time it was just kind of complete B.S. In other news why was he acting like he was a dumb NPC boss and targetting a tank instead of going for support/healers/squishies? He had an absolute speed advantage but he didnt use it to hit and run and probably take out squishies in 2-3 hits? It just seems so ridiculous for him to focus on the highest level, best geared, and tanky class with all the other options available. I mean if he was going to go all stupid mono-el-mono vs a higher level knight you would have thought he would at least change to Ice Troll to increase his fighting stats. Also if he had mana would have been nice to see him use stoneskin ... he keeps using the whole "close your eyes in middle of combat" but never stoneskin. I mean it costs probably a decent chunk of mana but if he just turns it on for a split second of impact it probably wouldnt be more than ~100.
------------------------------------------------------
to the wedding rings, as I understood to activate their ability the other one has to agree to this before it takes effect (and perhaps even requested beforehand, but there i m not sure). so if seyoun does respond to slow, in that case perhaps not immediately, the ability will not work. and with becoming undead, wasnt it only a chance of becoming undead? as I recal there was a percentage chance of becoming undead for him, that´s why I even wondered how he managed it so often before Very Happy the thing about attacking the squishys is already answered. I also wondered why he dont use stoneskin in the volumes 20+. my explanation was that he doesnt want the slowing effect for his moves, because he gets a speed penalty to his attacks and movement speed when he uses that skin (only logical by becoming stone xD ).
----------------------------------------------------
One of the reasons reject death didn't activate was because he was bombarded by holy spells. The reason why he didnt go for the squishies was because what was said above and also he went after the dragon so it could cause more mayhem and kill as many of the guild as possible. He was looking for a way to escape and survive against a whole army, but didn't manage in the end.
-----------------------
As for why Reject Death and the Wedding Ring bonuses didn't apply, those are explained explicitly in the volume. Reject death has a 100% base chance of triggering on death, with penalties and bonuses applied based on the method and location of death. Because he was cursed and bound by holy magic, his low level of reject death wasn't enough to overcome the penalty of necromancy against holy magic and so he failed to become undead. Thought of another way, his body was sanctified and purified by the holy spells, making undeath impossible at his current level of unholy corruption. As for why the Wedding Rings didn't apply, it's because the option to share life is only available if the user falls below a certain percentage of life. The problem was that Weed was so incapacitated by the magic and stun effects from Ray's support that the last hit had so many bonuses to damage he went from 'too high' to 'zero' in one strike.
As for the fight itself...I too thought he should've focused on the healers and let the boss whittle everyone down without that support. However, something we don't consider is this is set in a true VR game and can't be thought of using current game mechanics. That sort of train of thought is like saying "fighting an army is easy, just ignore the soldiers and attack the officers". In practice its a little bit harder than that. In theory his agility was so high he could've run circles around everyone on the ceiling and taken pot shots at the squishies. In practice he tried to make a decisive blow from a surprise attack, but several things took place. His opponents were high level and had good gear so he had to waste time and couldn't finish it quickly enough, the group is well coordinated so they were able to react to the surprise attack very quickly, and he suffered a loss of reputation and stats due to 'dishonorable actions'. The tank characters quickly blocked off his access to the squishies and the priests delegated some people to keeping everyone he was able to hit up. It was a war of attrition, but with so many targets he wasn't doing enough damage to punch through when they could just rotate out and get healed up again as he took fire from archers and magi as well. Then Ray Bard shows up and two things change. One, he engages in combat with a high enough opponent with full support behind him so he closes in to cut off the ranged component of the fight as they hold fire to avoid hitting Ray Bard. Two, he's presented with an all or nothing gamble to cripple the guild as defeating Ray Bard would make him fail that portion of his quest and set him back significantly. As long as Ray Bard is alive and defeats the monster, he advances his master quest line, but taking him out means he'll have to either redo or do something else. Then things go to crap and he gets bound up by spells and gets the crap beaten out of him.
As for why he couldn't turn into an Ice Troll? No statue (damn thing is too big to carry around) and I doubt the Hermes guild is going to wait patiently while he makes one. Also, from what I remember the place was pretty hot so using a cold type creature would've been bad anyways. Weed then goes through the list of his abilities and vetoes each one as they are either impractical for the cost/benefit or unavailable as he does not have the time and resources to prepare them. He mentioned that if he had a sculpture of a volcano it would've been perfect, but sadly did not prepare one ahead of time. As for why no stone skin? Stone skin applies a penalty to agility and ability cost in addition to those benefits in damage reduction. There is also the constant mana drain and mana cost to consider as well. Since Weed is not a combat orientated class, his abilities all have high cost and high reward making them mana intensive to use. He also is an agility type player who focuses more on dodging the enemy attack than soaking it up with heavy and slow armor. That means cold eyes (which costs nothing to use and can be employed anytime with no penalty) is more effective for him than stone skin (which slows him down and makes his abilities cost more).
---------------------------------
From what I could tell, by the end Weed was hitting Ray a lot more often than Weed was being hit, but because of Ray's really high defense/armor it was only doing a small amount of damage, whereas Weed was taking a huge amount of damage with each hit. I understand (given their classes/equipment) why that would be, but why didn't Weed use his Engraving Knife technique to eliminate Ray's defenses? Was there some reason he couldn't, or that it wouldn't work?
----------------------------------------
What I was referring to was in volume 28 and its called "Knights of the Goddess Armor and apparently it’s a mixture of helium + mithril. He makes it to replace the armor he lost to Ray bard. The helium he used was taken from the torch sculpture that he broke down. So I am not sure if it was because the helium had already been used as part of sculpture or what that allowed him to make armor (blacksmith) with the helium despite it supposedly taking advanced level 8 blacksmithing to use.
/////////////////////////////////////////////
He melted the torch sculpture down to obtain the helium again ~ that why he received a penalty for destroying his sculpture
-------------------------------------
Weed needs to get the gems from that mine, not sure what it’s called. But to get into the mine you have to pay or be a member of the guild that runs it, so he calls up someone that’s translated as Hegel, but i can’t figure out who that is.... At first I thought it was his college friends that he meet when he was shapeshifted as a dwarf, but i can’t figure out what volume that was in to verify
///////////////////////////////////////
It was his college friends. And yes, Hegel was in the party from when Weed was a dwarf. And didn't he just randomly meet Hegel? Since Weed has the same face as his real face, so Hegel recognized him immediately and was all like "hey do you want to come with me?" And since that saved Weed money, Weed went? And as for which volume it was with the dwarf thing....Vol 15 (around 20% of the way through, I converted the pdf file into another format so idk where it is in the pdf version
--------------------------------------------------------------
Vol 28 Okay finally read the part where Weed and Bards duel. Hermes freaking priests and Mages interfered >: The reason the ring effect didn't activative was probably because the damage was too sudden, like the rings would activate if he just went past 50% his life but Ray's attack probably took it all down in an instant. That or the ring effect may have occured already, it said something about Weed being at like 29%hp when he was fighting Ray bards group. As for why reject death didn't work, it seems the priests or Ray himself did a holy buff on his sword, and since Weed's reject death wasn't high enough level(think it was raised by dying and reviving) it wasn't enough to counter the holy sword. Happens in volume 28 look up "The noble sword.st.flame." there were some spaces but you get the idea
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Also, what gears did Weed lose from dying to Ray? He still have the bar kahn gear? Iono specifics on what items you lose when you die since people carry everything with them
------------------------------------------------------
1) hegel is guy from college and he remembers weed as a dwarf right?
1) Yes. The guy is also a member of the guild (heuksaja?) that owns the mine, hence why Weed asked him for help. It got him out of paying the exorbitant entrance fees.
1. Yes, Hegel was the one of the people who Weed saved from the spider lair. And yes, he was from the school
-------------------------------------
2) what are the names of the people that accompany them to the mine? i think its only an alice and dineneun but i keep seeing a catherine pop up in the conversations
2. There were two girls I believe. They were just no-name tag-alongs
-------------------------------------
3) did weed leave his guild, something wilderness?
3) No, he’s still part of it.
-------------------------------------
4) what guild owns the mine and charges ppl to enter it?
4. I forgot the exact name since I haven't read that in a long time, but it was the same guild that Hegel was in (which was why Weed went with Hegel in the first place: because he could get in for free) Its most likely the Heuksaja guild (going off of your Question #7)
4) I think it was heuksaja.
-------------------------------------
5) wat part of ray bard does the SS represent?
5. SS=Ray Bard's Guards/personal force I think?
5) I don’t understand the question; could you clarify?
-------------------------------------
6) did weed totally go screw hunting let’s make sculptures instead?
6) Yep. Smile From his perspective the monsters on the upper floors were too low level to be worth bothering with, and the others were handling the monsters just fine, so he figured he might as well not totally waste his time.
6. They were fighting level 200ish things I believe? Anyways, the monsters were weak as hell so Weed got bored and decided to make some sculptures to improve his skill while passing time.
-------------------------------------
7) who attacked heuksaja guild when weeds party discovered the new dungeon?
7) The Hermes guild are the ones assaulting the mine, since Ray Bard is combining his master quest with expanding his power base.
7. You got the order a little bit wrong I believe. Here's what happened: Weed&Co were in level 2 or 3 of the mine (which had a total of 4 levels with each level having harder monsters). Hermes Guild invade, with assassin teams killing everybody inside. When Ray Bard enters the mine, a hidden Fifth Floor suddenly appears, activated by his Black Knight Master Quest. Weed learns about the Hermes guild invading from Hegel (which found out from his guild chat) and rushes to the fourth floor to mine the sapphires and finish his quest (pwning all the mobs on the way). Weed and Co is approached by hunt-kill teams from Hermes. Weed wipes them out and summons Vampire Lord Tori and Death Knight Van Hawke. This is when his friends realize that Weed is the Weed. Hegel goes "OMG guys! You're never going to guess who I'm with on his guild chat, revealing Weed's presence to the Hermes guild. Also, the 3 people friend Weed.
-------------------------------------
8) the war in the mines forced weed to go deeper at a faster pace thus showing off his godliness right?
8. See answer 7
8) Yep.
-------------------------------------
9) when did they finally figure out weed is god of war weed?
9. See answer 7
9) After he starts fighting the assassins of Hermes, they eventually figure it out.
-------------------------------------
10) wat was weed and violations fight about ugg boots?
10) Don’t remember.
10. Violations (Weed's Sister) was telling Hwaryeong the one fault of her brother: his lack of a fashion sense. One Christmas, she wanted some type of really exposed footwear of some sort. However, Weed said she couldn't buy it because it would be unhealthy to be wearing that type of shoes in the snow. Hwareyong sympathizes with Weed's sister
-------------------------------------
11) so if hermes had spy in heuksaja that knew bout weed, does that mean hegel was blabbing to his guild?
11. See answer 7
11) The assassins that Weed was killing are the ones that informed Hermes guild (over the guild chat) that Weed was present; Hegel is the one who informed heuksaja guild.
-------------------------------------
12) how come weed never used that freya armor b4?
12) A combination of him not being high enough level and not fighting enemies important/strong enough to use it on; Weed often doesn’t wear his best equipment day-to-day because it makes him stand out/makes him a target.
12. Weed has always worn Freya's Armor ever since he got it from the Plains of Despair (?) With the exception of the times when he's an undead of course.
-------------------------------------
13) wat kinda boss is hermes guild fighting?
13) Some extremely high level (well over 500) monster; I don’t know the details, but I think it was some sort of creature from hell.
13. Idk, sounds like a demon or some large humanoid of some type
-------------------------------------
14) who is dante and wats the quest about bingryong asking him to do?
14) Don’t remember.
14. Dante is just this random person that started out in Mora. Think of him as the author giving an example of a starter newbie in Mora. The quest was not assigned by Bingrong but by one of the villagers. What the villager said was that in addition to Bingrong, Weed had also sculpted another sculpture in Mora. Dante's quest was to find that sculputre: the ice sculpture of Seoyun
-------------------------------------
15) did weed start building a road to the surrounding villages from mora?
15) Probably? I don’t remember this, but it sounds like the sort of thing he’d do.
15. There might have always been roads there (i think), but the merchants and Mora definitely expanded them
-------------------------------------
16) if he changed to adventurer class wat was dantes original one?
16. Dante originally wanted to be an Ice element Wizard (which was why he could use a spell that chilled the Seoyun Statue
16) Don’t remember.
-------------------------------------
17) did the husband of the boss that hermes guild killed make a deal with weed?
17) It’s more like the monster wanted to know who killed its mate, and Weed said the Hermes guild did, so they had a sort of truce while they fought Hermes guild. If they’d won both of them were planning to fight each other next.
17. Not really, Weed was attacking Ray Bard while the actual boss (the first "boss" was just his wife) was attacking the tanks of the raid
-------------------------------------
18) ray bard got out a lightning spear and a horse to chase after weed?
18) Yes. The spear did AOE damage (so even a “miss” hurt Weed) and after using a statue Weed’s dexterity was so high that the only way Ray Bard could catch him was with the horse.
18. Ray Bard had an ability to summon his horse which was the fastest in the kingdom (kinda like Weed's summon sculpture skill I guess). And yeah, I think Ray also used a spear (which I believed he obtained from another of his Master Quests)
-------------------------------------
19) Zephyr tried using weeds situation as a way to get closer to hyeon?
19) Don’t remember.
19. I forgot
-------------------------------------
21) he didn’t use natural catastrophe because it would kill him as well right?
21) NO. After it became clear that he was going to loose Weed probably would have liked to use natural catastrophe, but he didn’t have an appropriate carving made to cause the disaster, and there was no way to make one in the middle of a battle.
21. It was because he had nothing appropriate for the situation. Things like causing a volcano to erupt would be useless since addition to dying, he would be sacrificing stats in order to use the catastrophe carving skill.
------------------------------------
22) ray bard was being constantly buffed and healed right?
22) Not really. He was buffed before the fight (for the battle against the monster), and when Weed sent the Death Knight and Tori after Ray Bard the priests cast a spell that temporarily made him invulnerable to all damage, but that’s it. Ray Bard originally wanted a one-on-one fight with Weed. Oh, and at the very end the priests cast a spell that temporarily immobilized Weed.
22. Ray was healed and had a buff that turned him invincible for 2 min (or something) while he was fighting the Death Knight and Vampire Lord. I don't think he was buffed by anybody else while he was fighting Weed one on one (but Weed had plenty of debuffs stacked on him by the wizards)
------------------------------------
23) weed took 1000s of dmg while ray bard only took 100s because weed didn’t have outside buffs and good armor right?
23) Weed had very good armor; Ray Bards was just significantly better. Also, besides the buffs, Ray Bard was a significantly higher level than Weed, and was a combat class, which gives him a significant advantage in a stand up fight. A Moonlight Sculptor has a lot of cool abilities, but in just straight-up fighting he’s at a disadvantage against Ray Bard’s class.
23. And the fact that Ray Bard was ridiculously higher level then Weed. Also, Ray Bard received weapons and armor from his Master Questline while Weed is still using stuff he got 25 Volumes ago.
------------------------------------
24) his reject death skill failed because its lvl was too low to overcome the divine energy or because it was simply by chance?
24) Basically. The skill is still fairly low level (since it levels up when Weed successfully rejects death, and he doesn’t die all that often), so the spells the priests cast to paralyze Weed were enough to prevent the skill from activating, similar to when he died in the dungeon underneath the temple while he was undead.
24. Ray Bard's attack was a light (or fire) based holy (?) attack. Because Weed's resurrection level was too low, he couldn't revive with his corpse saturated with holy power. (same reason as why he couldn't revive while he was ambushed by the Hermes guild in the Holy Monastery when he was doing the Bar Khan undead quests)
------------------------------------
25) was the guild war more important than the weed vs ray bard battle to the media stations? cant be sure of translation order
25) I think both were important to them.
25. It was a big shock that the Hermes guild preemptively sneak attacked the other guild. The fact that Weed and Ray Bard were fighting was also a big "OMG" for most people.
------------------------------------
26) was the lady seoyun met lee hyuns grandma or some1 who knew him?
26. Nope, it was Weed's elderly neighbor/person he helped.
------------------------------------
27) did the lady go outta business and lee hyun helped her?
27. She talked about how Weed always helped her with tasks and also helped the homeless/poor sometimes
------------------------------------
28) did seoyun think weed died for a moment there?
28) She was afraid he couldn’t handle his loss and might have committed suicide. Smile
28. It’s actually kind of funny. After hearing about how harsh Weed's life was (raised in poverty, harassed by loan sharks, etc.) and finding out that Royal Road was the reason why Weed could support his family, Seoyun rushed into Weeds house to find him lying on the floor (?) unresponsive. Panicked, she thought that Weed had committed suicide/died due to his loss from Ray Bard. Then the scene switches to Weed where he wakes up with a loud belch, thinking "huh? I must of fallen asleep on the floor." Then he looks up and find Seoyun half joyful and half pissed. The scene then skips to a little bit later, with Weed commenting how violent Seoyun was xD.
------------------------------------
29) which guild won, heuksaja or hermes?
29) Hermes. Hermes had had their assassins set up a lot of traps on the upper floors that heuksaja guild just powered through because they were in a hurry. Then once the battle was fully joined, Hermes had another force in hiding that no one knew about, which attacked from behind and killed all of heuksaja’s priests, after which they had no chance against Hermes.
29. The Hermes guild drew back after Ray finished the quest so technically, the Heukjasa guild "won" although it was more of a, "we already taken everything we want so we're going to leave now."
