Volume 21 Summary: Chapter 1 October 5th, 2013 by Rea Chapter 1: Imperial Construction Secret “Yes, I do.”
Seo Yoon said while trembling since she was afraid of speaking. Weed considered the times she spoke and decided that, like him, she was interested in items. (She made him a friend to get her stuff back, married to get the benefits of the rings, etc.) He figured she was forcing herself to speak for the item, so he was being nice.
“Say no more. I understand.”
The last thing on the schedule was the wedding meal with the guests. Death Knight Van Hock and vampire Torido were also summoned to attend the meal and were asked to pack up the food. Weed was planning to eat the special food to reproduce the recipes to bring up his cooking skills! Van Hock, Torido, Seo Yoon and the Golden Bird were walking around collecting food. Afterwards, the castle as well as the nobles and wizards inside scattered like smoke.
Ding! Seulroeo’s last wishes have been solved.
Seulroeo’s rings have sealed abilities in them that can be transmitted.
+ Seulroeo’s wisdom Maximum mana will increase permanently by 3500.
+ Seulroeo’s blessing Luck is slightly increased by 20 and damage from magic is reduced.
+ Wedding vows Through the sacred rings, two people’s lives can be shared. When a person’s health is low enough, up to 50 percent of health can be transferred.
If you wear rings with reduced vitality, the characteristics of the job of the spouse can be applied.
You can use your spouse’s skills at 70% proficiency. The proprieties of the ring cannot be changed or passed to others. The ring can be destroyed when the wedding vows are released.
After reading the message, Weed, Seo Yoon and the sculptured life-forms returned to the Inferno dungeon. A heartwarming smile appeared on Weed’s face. The wedding was very satisfying.
At the final stage of the difficult S-class quest, not far from where Kubicha died, the ground glittered. The sand was mixed with pieces of Goldman’s body.
Weed ordered the sculpture life-forms to search for the remnants and pick them up. There were some parts missing; it was not easy to recover all of what was lost. As Weed went to the Inferno Knight’s Circle, he still did not want to give up and tried to search for more remains. When he had almost given up in the chaotic battle with Kubicha, Goldman had rushed in and sacrificed his life to save Weed. Weed doubted Goldman could be restored to the way he was before, which saddened Seo Yoon and the other sculpture life-forms.
Ivan, the leader of the Inferno knights, approached and thanked them for helping to finish off Kubicha. Weed asked him what happened after Kubicha’s death. Weed was worried about his quest since he did not meet the requirements, but still received the items. Apparently, Ivan did not recognize that Weed was the Lich and dragon. He spoke of how the remaining Chaos Warriors had just wandered around, lost, since their leader died and they have been able to drive them out, with the help of the fire giants. Weed was trying to get more familiar with Ivan. Although he had suffered many hardships, Weed did not complain. Completing the quest and getting the rewards was more important.
The engraved circle, from the floor scale to the ceiling, ranged hundreds of meters. At the center of the circle, mana and fire expanded and contracted repeatedly. It resembled a blazing sun aura. Just getting close made the body hot and sweaty. Without the circle, Jigolaths would have sunk due to the volcanic eruptions. The Circle of Power, constructed by the Archmage Imbul, had some cracks made by Kubicha. The trapped mana and fire within was shaking, as if to escape. However, the circle was being repaired. After a while, the circle was whole once again, and pure, white flames burst out.
Ding! You have witness the Archmage Imbul’s Circle of Flame
-Health increases by 900. -Resilience increases by 35. -Fire resistance increases permanently by 7%.
Knowledge of the principles of creation of Mana deepens. But only for elemental shamans or summoners, and wizards otherwise it has no effect.
You have appreciated the scene created in the ancient circle.
-Art stat increases by 4. -Wisdom increases by 2.
It was the effect of Imbul’s reconstructed Magic circle. Subsequently, another message window appeared.
Ding! Red Star quest Completed (3)
Kubicha of the Chaos warriors was killed and the dragon weapon was safely recovered. What happened to the dragon weapon in the end is unknown. For stopping this dispute, all of the races in Jigolaths can now enjoy peace and tranquility for a while. All of these adventures, completed by a mere engraver, can be regarded as a miracle.
Quest Reward: Dragon’s Sword Red Star, The Golden Bird, Knowledge about the requirements to be the Emperor.
For completing this quest, fame increases by 5200.
Due to the success of this quest, you have taken the title of the “Successor of the Niflheim Empire.”
Through completing quests with high risks, you have gained trust. It’s possible to be the representative of the authority of each church or kingdom. Kings, Queens and the nobles can become your sponsors. With notoriety, you can become the leader of thieves, usurpers or monsters.
Due to the success of the quest, notoriety is reduced by 1200.
Thanks to your heroic risks, your physical ability and related stats will increase by 7.
Level has increased.
Level has increased.
….
With the exception of the Chaos Warriors, friendship and familiarity with all the other tribes have become neutral. However, Fire Giants will still have a rough impression of you.
Friendship with the savages in the north of the Versailles continent has increased.
In the Versailles continent, the profession of engraver will gain more admiration. You will receive more respect from residents, and be able to eat free food in the restaurants.
The value of the works made by the engraver and the trading price increases slightly.
A rise of 9 levels and an enormous increase in reputation. Receiving a quest from a King is a big adventure. With the mysteries and legends of each kingdom, it certain for there to be adventures searching for treasure. Weed could go to see the King of each kingdom of the continent and receive an audience.
“A quest to gather the people!”
From children to the elderly, they can be exploited. Building the pyramid in Rosenheim Kingdom, he had received a similar request. Not only to create a sculpture, a commission to lead a large-scale expedition or to stage a war against the Embinyu church.
“Whoa huhuhu”
He had also gained the Dragon’s Sword Red Star. Weed wondered when it could be used in battle, but anyway, to get to solve an S quest, he could not help that his lips drew into a peaceful smile. If you fail to clear the quest somehow: it was a bad feeling.

With his hard work, Weed had steadily raised his stats and his level was close to 400. Of course, a huge part of the experience was gained through completing quests. “But the Power of the Undead, what sort of stat is it?” He had noticed that he had unknowingly created an ominous stat. “I have never seen this stat before on a message window.”
“Check stat, Power of the Undead.”
Power of the Undead
-It is generated automatically when in an undead state for a long time.
-You cannot distribute stat points to this skill as it automatically increases as you gain experience as an undead.
-The strength and the intelligence of the undead and the summon ability increases with the power of black magic.
-For the good races however, it can cause side effects.
-The “Power of the Undead” sometimes increases in stats rapidly with combat and sometimes decreases other stats to increase.
-Elegance, charm, luck, faith and morality are vulnerable and a major resource.
-The power of the Undead is overwhelmingly increased, if you stay in the undead stat for too long, you won’t be able to come back…
He had received the undead stat, but the stat has serious side effects.
“298, means it’s high-level enough to be concerned.”
The faith stat, because of the high level, was suppressed.
“I’ve never heard of this stat before.”
Royal Road, and the information related to it, has not made any mention of this stat.
I thought it was impossible an quest to finished…Weed sighed, turned towards Golden Bird and said,
“So…to found an empire, what do I have to do? Once you have created an empire, you get land and taxes and you can sell titles, like knights and nobles, eh?”
Weed was destroying the whole momentum! Only interested in using the power to accumulate a lot of wealth! However, with trouble, the Golden Bird explained.
“To found an empire, some necessary conditions need to be fulfilled.”
Weed, of course, thought as much.
“To be an Emperor, you need the recognition and the blessing of at least three of the founding gods.”
Freya’s church and Weed are closely related. Weed is already as close as possible with Alveron. Also, establishing the faith in Mora can increase the degree of familiarity too. As a Count, his reputation, comparable to others, is high, and fighting the denomination Church of Embinyu can help him gain friendship.
“I’ll be recognized by the gods. I want to be blessed with the birth of an empire.”
Freya’s blessing to create an empire! However, it was not the end of the requirements, as the Golden Bird continued.
“Several species in the northern part should be part of it. In order to create an empire, it should include at least five or more species. The user should also be able to choose them.”
“You must have a good reputation for nobles and knights to follow you. Fighting against monsters, solving quests and doing good deeds can reduce your notoriety.”
“To construct the vast territory of the empire, enough population is also needed.”
“200,000 people should be enough?” The population of Mora was that much.
“It should be at least ten million.”
“The people should be able to freely develop skills and hobbies, and many guilds need to be created. To keep away the monsters and fight against thieves, the number of soldiers should be increased too. ”
Weed furrowed his brow.
“In order to prevent the attack of monsters, some forts are needed right?”
“Of course.”
“The elite knights must exceed 500, and more than 30,000 heavily armed soldiers are also needed.”
“Necessary facilities should be created, and arts and cultural satisfaction should be high. Craftsmen techniques should be developed…”
Weed was making the face of a person that had received money just to have it stolen away. If lost money does not come back, you know that a child will feel disappointment!
“Now, you’re not finished. There are more conditions, right?”
…
To build an Empire, there were also many mountains to climb. Weed simply concluded. Reality is cruel. Weed came closer to Golden Bird.
“What’s going on?”
Weed was summoning Van Hawk and Torido.
“Van Hock and also Torido. Get ready to battle. ”
“Why? Isn’t the battle over?”
The Golden Bird asked him with a strange look.
“I will hit once. …. Guys, beat him up!”
Establishing a hierarchy and delivering commands are good ways to be absolute, but beating gives the best results!
“This is all I get… I’m disappointed, so disappointed.”
“I will not kill you.”
…
“We do not have time, let’s call it a day.”
Weed, after about 10 minutes of beating, stopped. Golden Bird had lost a considerable amount of vitality and dropped feathers here and there.
Decorative golden feathers: Durability 35/35
-Nobles covet these feathers! -They are very difficult and rare to find. -Can be traded for some semi-precious stones and, in-store, the owner of the store will welcome you with open arms.
Options: Grace and Charm rises proportionally. Sewing and blacksmith skills needed to make a product.
Weed, of course, put the fallen feathers into a backpack.
“Need to continue pulling some feathers to sell them.” “Then, let’s go to other places.”
Spreading the underground map of Jigolaths, he wanted to make sure to go to that place. To find the legendary material, “Helium.” To increase his sculpture mastery, he had to go there.
“It is at the lowest place, in spite of being the center of Jigolaths.”
Weed was at the head. Seo Yoon and the others followed.
———-
“I guess he is here.”
At the end of a long search, the assassins and the thieves from the Hermes guild tracked Weed to a dungeon their group had never entered.
“Are you sure?” “Yes, definitely. This dungeon has already been explored.” “The race war going on for a few days, all we needed was to get to the place?”
Drinpelt was the most professional there for exploring the dungeon.
“By watching TV and the wind movement, the dungeon is fairly deep.” “Considering the disturbance of the monsters in the dungeon, it would take us three days.” “From now on, go as fast as possible.”
The Helium mines were just a short stop on the way.
———-
Seo Yoon logged out of the Royal Road capsule and walked out. Seo Yoon was afraid of going back to reality. It had been a long time since she had spoken to others except in Royal Road.
“But then again, I do not want to be alone…”
Back in Royal Road, she was comfortable with sharing a conversation with Weed. Overcoming her fears, Seo Yoon opened her trembling lips to attempt to say something in reality. She called the dog given to her by Weed. Dog Meat was having a nap. Then, he heard his name and woke up. Seo Yoon said his name again. A beautiful master who gave him delicious food and a bed, was calling him. Dog Meat ran towards her wagging his tail.

Chapter 2: Sculptor’s Gallery Weed looked back at the road several times.
“This is not it?”
“….”
“Well, let’s go back.”
The number of times that they went the wrong way had already exceeded twelve. Dead ends, dangerous roads that cannot be passed, roads that were too narrow…They had to turn back every time they encountered those!
The ground made it difficult to judge the direction of north, south, east, and west. In addition, the basement dungeons were interconnected, like a complex structure. Since it was so complex, heading to the desired destination was difficult.
Moreover, the place where one would predict helium to be, was unclear. Seo Yoon hesitantly held out a hand.
“Can I look at the map?”
Weed handed a map of the underground.
“Do what you want. But this map is too complex to easily find out a way to go.”
Because she is sure to be held responsible for the failure of the operation!
“I think we should go there.”
“You think so? Indeed, people can possibly make mistakes. Well, let’s go this way anyway.”
Weed thought in his mind without saying anything, but still followed. Looking at the map, Seo Yoon guided them to place with a break between sharp stalactites, where there was clean water falling that they could drink. Since Weed became human again, he has to eat like everyone else. Getting drinkable water was no longer a problem anymore now.
“Here’s a bunch of stalactites. We should go to that side…”
“Here, there is also a dungeon. Then let’s go into the dungeon.”
From the passage, the entrance of a large tense dungeon came out. Weed was lost trying to move in the right direction, but Seo Yoon knew exactly how to find a way.
In order to recover his wounded pride, Weed said to Yellowy:
“I knew the way originally”
“Uh eummeo …”
Yellowy stretched out and yawn. Thanks to Seo Yoon, the way was easy to find and they were able to save time. In addition, since the passage was bigger, they could fight better.
You have witnessed “Wandering Hope” by the sculptor Pieche.
Art stat increased by 2. For appreciating an excellent artwork, sculpting skill proficiency has raised slightly.
They found a sculpture in the passage. Torches in the dark pathways were there to light up the statues!
“In Jigolaths, an engraver came to make this.”
The Helium mine that was estimated to be at a place still far away was near a place like this.
“Identify!”
Weed perhaps wanted to take advantage of the sculptural memories skill to find the way. Weapons and armor, you can tell directly instead of needing to touch a special part of the work like the sculptural memories skill. Weed was trying to find the memories of the sculpture and what it saw.
“It’s dark. So dark.”
“….”
The place was dark and the sculpture had been made in the dark. It had never seen anything, so it did not have much memories.
“Let’s continue to move this way…”
Sculptors in the underground passage carved outstanding works. The works were too precious.
“I absolutely have to use this chance to get more art stat.”
————
Users of the Haven Kingdom were angry. The thieves’ actions were like deliberately playing a joke to make them suffer. As well, the reinforcements from the Hermes guild had unpleasant expressions.
“We were in this place two hours before…”
They were confident that they only needed 3-4 days to find Weed. They should have met Weed already. A bunch of battles have made them nervous and they had to fight hard against big monsters like fire giants. They were also hunting, wiping out large groups of monsters; Hermes guild was advancing.
Five days after entering the Inferno dungeon, they found the magic circle and a number of stats went up.
“You feel refreshed after a hard adventure and you get rewards as well.”
Hunting grounds in the Kingdom of Haven were of a competitive level, but skill proficiency had only risen by a little. But since then, the assassins and thieves had difficulty in following Weed’s tracks.
“I’m sorry, but I think this is the wrong way… a lot of monsters live here, and the underground dungeon floor is made of stone, so it is difficult to find the right trail…”
“I already heard the same thing more than 20 times already.”
“Give us a little more time.”
“Such words have been heard for a few days. We are forced to go along, but at some point, it will cost gold to keep going…”
There were many people in the tracking team. They were deep in the dungeon, so you rely on magic and light, and the way Weed went was not easy to keep track. Of course, the footprints went along, but after a long time looking at the ground, you have to discuss the way to go.
“You saw the way clearly…”
His colleagues agreed with him. Weed and his companions had passed this way, there was no doubt.
“But why are we back again to the way we can from?”
Thieves and assassins would agree on the path, only to find themselves back where they had traveled earlier. This was not just due to complex problem of tracking in the dungeon. Thieves and assassins sighed.
“I don’t know what is going on anymore.”
The dungeons of Jigolaths were indeed complex. Even Weed, between dungeons, lost himself along the many roads and crossroads and went back many times. However, the trackers were not tied down by that logic since even if the path was relatively unknown to them; they just need to keep track of the trail.
The problem was that Weed and Seo Yoon’s footprints were changing continuously. Weed, with his blacksmith and sewing skills, made a number of counterfeit boots that imitated the tracks of monsters like the Chaos Warriors or the Inferno Knights, and were wearing them alternatively! Monsters and other traces were mixed up so that tracking them was a hassle! Yellowy, Silver Bird and Golden Bird had to walk holding paws.
“I think this is the right path. Those trails lead to the wrong way, so…”
They were tracing the path of the dungeons and making maps. Map created based on various roads with time became erratic because of Weed! In the middle of the path, the tracks suddenly disappeared.
“This cannot happen, I think. What the hell, how could he move so erratically right?”
Weed guessed there would be trackers. There was nothing wrong with placing several misleading marks in the dungeon. Besides changing shoes, he also had the elemental spirits.
“Dirtman, block this way.”
“Okay, sir.”
“And make it seem as naturally as possible.”
“We will do our best.”
“Footprint traces needed to be concealed. Another way is to disguise the path.”
The thieves and assassins were following footprints that were leading them to the wrong place. However, they were able to notice the smallest details. If the way was blocked, they would use shovels and would even track back and pass the other dungeons and the tracking speed would slow down.
You have witnessed “Flowers Carved in Stone” by the sculptor Muruni.
-Art stat increased by 1. -For appreciating an excellent artwork, sculpting skill proficiency has raised slightly.
You have witnessed “Sculptor raising a Pickaxe”, which belonged to Ivance the Master Sculptor of Pierre.
-Art stat increased by 3. -For appreciating an excellent artwork, sculpting skill proficiency has raised slightly.
Weed and Seo Yoon moved around the dungeon viewing the mining-related artworks, estimating that the place they needed to go was ahead. Of course, along the way, many sculptures were found.
“I see that the headdress is made of silver. Since the craftsmanship is pretty good, it’ll fetch a high price.”
Every time he passed by a sculpture, all the precious metals completely disappeared and those made with precious minerals were broken to pieces. Weed was someone who would take even the gold teeth off a sculpture. He finally arrived at the area with an old rickety sign.
= Helium mines =
-It’s not too late, youth with dreams, to return; I learned too late that even life is an art.
They have reached the Helium mines. Rotten wood was used to build the supporting structures of the entrance of the tunnel. Party has to be disbanded and only a 1-2 people party could go explore inside. Weed’s mining exploration skills were lacking and it was hard to find a way.
“What is beyond this point is unknown.”
Nevertheless, he didn’t want to go back. He decided to go into the Helium mines. Weed opened his backpack. There was barley bread, drinkable water and the food from the wedding. It was filled with as much food and water as Yellowy could carry. As Weed prepared himself to go into the mines, even Seo Yoon was checking her backpack. Weed shook his head.
“You guys have to stay here.”
Seo Yoon wished to enter the mine, but there must be people waiting outside. It was important to take control of the entrance and protect it from the trackers. However, Golden Bird and Silver Bird combined would not be able to kill them all.
“If these guys run away, you also have to escape and wait in a safe place until I get out, but I don’t know when.”
Weed turned his attention to the sculptures of life. He needed someone to take the load.
Tweet tweet. The Golden Bird was walking around singing sadly and Silver Bird was pretending to be sick. Even Yellowy was trembling on his four legs.
“I hope he doesn’t pick me.”
The three sculptures of life shared a common thought. They did not want to get into trouble. They were tired of dungeons, but mining was worse! It was a very arduous place for the body. For the sculpture life forms who valued dignity, it was a place they never wanted to go. After a while, Weed finally decided to choose someone.
“Yellowy, you will come with me.”
For Yellowy, the decision came out of the blue. In addition, the feeling worsened since Weed’s eyes were looking at where the rib-eye was on Yellowy’s body.
“If only there was Korean Beef Tartare (yukhoe)….” Weed licked his lips.
“Then, let’s go look for the helium.”
Weed, holding Yellowy by the neck, walked into the mine.
You became an owner of a closed old helium mine.
-Reward: Fame +100. -Every day for one week, double EXP and double item drops. -Best possible items will drop from the first monster encountered depending of its type.
Weed and Yellowy was walking down the narrow path. It was dark and the air was hazy. Somehow, Weed found the dead body of a sculptor and his carving knife. Near the entrance of the Helium mine, the atmosphere was as terrifying as a horror film. Even though Weed was not afraid of the dark and thick darkness, there were 8 small paths from the crossroad in front of him; it would be hard to keep track of the trails.
“Let’s enter here.”
The helium mine was like a maze and gave an ominous feeling. A lot of Sculptors have failed because of its difficulty. But if it was only this level, it did not feel difficult. An unparalleled will for hard work! 2 crossroads were either blocked by lava or had a broken ceiling.
“Well, we have got 6 choices left.”
Occasionally, they were relieved to discover a sculpture. The road lead them to a crossroad, and then another crossroad came out. As feared, the mine was an endless maze.
“Master, what about when we come back to the entrance?”
Yellowy commented, but Weed had a similar idea. If you pay attention too much, you will feel trapped and impatient and that is dangerous.
“I know, but I think we have already lost the way…”
Weed looked back. Only darkness was spreading from that place. The paths were connected by crossroads, but also covered in the shadows; it was not easy to find the place they were from.
“Let’s go back to where we came from.”
Weed and Yellowy was going to return back to get directions from Seo Yoon. However, it was very difficult to find the way. Furthermore, the helium might not even be there! Weed eventually gave up and decided to go back to the entrance.
“When we go the wrong way more than once, without knowing exactly the way, we cannot go back to where we came from. Finding the helium would be just as difficult.”
“Getting monsters would be better than such an atmosphere…”
“This is where many sculptors came. So there should be a way to find your way. There should be monsters and the sculptors who were defending the mine from intruders by creating a maze.”
“A sculptor left a final sculpture in this place…”
Weed would sometimes find sculptures away from the passages.
“This implies that some sculptors came here before. Identify!”
The sculpture was carrying a torch and pointing toward one direction.
“This way.”
Weed moved on confidently. There were sculptures that told the right way one after the other. Yellowy was walking for about 1 hour. Due to Weed’s endurance and perseverance, he could at least hold up with this degree of food intake. It is similar to cockroaches’ overwhelming will to survive. Even if it was the end of the world tomorrow, Weed would still go buy a large detergent at the store for 1+1 deal. Finally, after walking for a long time, at the end of a maze, they found a mining wagon connected to a rail tunnel.
“If we ride the mining wagon, we can go a little faster.”
However, Yellowy was against that idea.
“Master, it just seems that it would be better off walking.”
“We don’t know how much time more it would take us, a wagon ride would be faster.”
“How about you ride on me instead”
“Believe me, I will not let you have a hard time, but … you need to get on the front.”
Weed and Yellowy boarded on the back to ride the wagon. There were instructions that said that to move the wagon, move the bar up and down. Weed used strength to pull the bar and the wheels started to roll.
Kkiiiiiing. The mining wagon stated to move forward while making a harsh sound. As you moved the bar, the cart was accelerating.
“It sped up quite a lot.”
Weed left the bar and took out the ore obtained from hunting, and used it to illuminate the front of wagon. Seeing what was in front of the curved tunnel was difficult.
As they were heading in a downward direction, they were speeding up. Leaning forward, Yellowy spoke:
“Master, you should slow down.”
“Then, let’s reduce the speed.”
Weed pulled the bar. Cha ka ka ka kang! Sparks were created as the chart slowed down a little.
“Master you are like me to do it easily…”
Weed heard it just before they got to the end of a rail and the wagon headed sharply down a slope. The speed of the wagon was getting faster exponentially.
“Master, this is frightening.”
“Okay, this should stop it!”
Weed pulled the brakes as much as possible. Because he only invested in the strength and agility stats, the force was incredible. Suddenly, the brake system broke down. The pressure of the opposite forces of the excessive speed, Weed being too forceful, and the fact that it was getting old, was too much for it to take.
Weed made a judgment.
“Well, we are in trouble.”
The risks needed to be calmly considered. Therefore, Weed objectively analyzed the situation and told Yellowy:
“Perhaps, this wagon might never stop…”
Eum meoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeo!
“If the railway deviates and we bump into somewhere, we are going to die…”
Any hope was even crushed by this hopeless description! The wagon was increasing its speed even more as it ran in the tunnel towards deeper in the underground.
“But hopefully…you won’t feel the pain when you die.”
Yellowy was terrified and in tears ,as if he was a cattle being brought into the slaughterhouse! The mining wagon went even faster.
“Lower your body and hold on tight.”
The railroads were build in straight lines, there were no smooth curves. Every time they turned, as they exceeded the speed limit, the wagon and the whole body were tossed aside as if they could escape the rails. They were in big trouble as the bumpy wagon was still headed down. And after a while, they climbed up a hill and the speed was reduced. Yellowy burst into tears of joy.
“Master, now we seem to be able to live!”
With similar happy thoughts, Weed said:
“But we are really lucky. We did not meet any railroads broken in the middle. For a long time, no one has being using the tunnels and it is a miracle that it still works.”
They went uphill and saw a large cavity of unknown depth, linked together by iron pieces between two cliffs. But the most important part was that the railroads in front were cut off in the middle for about 30 meters at the hole. This was a promise of death.
“Master, to be able experience living was great. I have a request for my baby cows in Morata…”
Yellowy, succumbing to his desperate feelings, left a testament. It was to take deep care of the young cows with affection and not leave then to die. Weed replied as going up on him.
“So you are going to die meaninglessly. Are you going to following Goldman’s example, who died and made me recreate him?”
Yellowy was touched to receive Weed‘s kind words in his last minutes. Weed, in the end, brought out all his resentment.
“The flesh of the rib-eye will go to waste if you die. Do not give up.”
Weed lowered the bar of the wagon to add momentum. They reached the broken parts of the railroad in the blink of an eye. The mining wagon kept up the pace and flew in a parabolic arc without falling down into the hole. For a very short time, they were flying in the air with a frightening speed and were pushed back on the wagon!
kwag wagwag wagwang! While sliding the wagon back into the railway, it created a huge spark. The wagon, in the narrow rails, advanced without leaving it in the tunnel.
‘It seems we are not going to die here.”
Yellowy only sighed and in return, Weed, glad that it worked out, said.
“We are really a lucky bunch.”
“…”
“With common sense, that’s true. It has been a long time since it was maintained, and all except that place was fine, and I can do that. It would be normal too if there was something blocking it.”
At that moment, in front of them stood a rock as big as a house and was obscuring and modified the way the trails were going.
“Bump ahead. Get down!”
Weed and Yellowy lowered their body. And the wagon was running towards it at a tremendous pace. kwagwagwang!
The wagon was smashed into the modifying pit and broke. Weed, to ensure a smooth view, used light sculpture, and his whole body was glowing. The broken grains and debris were shining, and it was demonstration that was an absolutely fascinating spectacle, but they did not even notice it as they went past so quickly. Weed said. “But I sure am a lucky one…”
Kwagwang!
“It’s been twice the case.”
“Like f***! …”
The wagon, as chunks of its parts were coming off, was slowing down. The front of the wagon was broken and Yellowy and Weed had lost some health from the impact. Without his resilience and his perseverance, it could have been really dangerous. Weed, in many ways, was thankful that Yellowy was in front to suffer a greater damage to health!
“Still, it is all thanks to the modifications. Anyway, we are alive…”
Just as that was said, they saw that the rails were cut off in the end. And in front, a wall appeared!
Huhuhuhu! Yellowy cried out. It was tough to think that this was the last moment of his life.
“Light fly!”
After Goldman died, the Wings of Light returned back to Weed. Weed was able to believe they won’t die because of the Wings of Light!
To tease Yellowy, Weed was saying this or that, but he still held his body as the wings unfold and they were waiting for the right moment. Weed and Yellowy, having confirmed it was time, escaped from the wagon and, at the same time, the Wings of Light emitted a brilliant light and they flew up.
The wagon bumped into the wall and was pushed back more than 40 meters, as its body began to fall apart. Then, after a short moment, the wagon hit a rock and fell completely apart. Weed, while flapping the Wings of Light, said:
“We’re safe. But, we are still a bit far from getting to the right place.”
Yellowy was happy to have finally landed safely, but he was still too afraid to say anything, in fear that something terrible would happen.
“Yellowy, how about taking another wagon ride when we get back?”

Chapter 3: Coffee Date
KMC’s show about Weed’s quest achieved the largest viewership in broadcasting ever recorded. Since the broadcast was a hot topic among the audience these days, they organized a subsequent program in the media.
“We couldn’t complete the editing as it was a near real-time broadcast. Let’s put our efforts and resources in broadcasting it properly instead.”
They held a banquet to celebrate the success, and even Saturday was dedicated day and night to finishing work. Thus, the full version of Weed’s adventure was published in 3 parts.
– Part 1: River of Mourning – Weed repairs the sculptures and creates an alliance of leaders against the Church of Embinyu.
- Part 2: Landing on Jigolaths – Weed’s long voyage across the sea to come to the mysterious Jigolaths.
- Part 3: Dark Mage – Weed leading the undead armies in battle against the Warriors of Chaos and the Dragon.
The key parts of the live broadcast were delivered, however, in the midst, the viewers’ bulletin board were asking when there would be a second broadcast of the adventure and requested for one.
“When is the broadcasting day?”
“Not Sunday afternoon.”
Time was determinative to have the highest ratings. KMC media decided to broadcast the full version of Weed’s adventure on Sunday evening, and prior to that, they had to agree on the content of the 30 seconds ads. The director of advertising was displaying his abilities.
“Part 1 is the repairing of the huge sculptures and some short scenes of the fight between King Hydra, the Lich Bar Khan and the Imugi. Part 2 is the volcanic eruptions as well as the arrival of Haven Kingdom’s army fleet and the pirates, and the fighting scene. And part 3…”
Directors were expressing their disapproval.
“For part 3, the time for the advertisement is too little.”
“The third part was simply showing the head of a dragon. The dragon’s roar will conclude the advertisement.”
The promotional video made was the work of KMC media, and was as good as it could be. The drifting of war clouds over the Weeping River, the army gathering with majestic music, the lava welling up in the background to attack humans, the Lich and the dragon!
The viewers were watching the trailer and eagerly waiting for the broadcast of the adventure. When they started the broadcast on TV, they had achieved a total of 63.9% of viewership. There was no better moment than that as it was the largest rating recorded, and there wasn’t anyone who didn’t know the name of Weed in Royal Road. The story of Weed’s adventures in Royal Road was associated with every topic day after day on Internet message boards.
-I am wondering about that sailing skill. How soon do you think you can get on a large sailboat or a ferry and navigate?
-You can raise fish. There are a lot of unknown eggs; dolphins that were born 4 months ago, if you feed them well, they can help raise the speed of mastering the sailing skill. You can keep birds to help too. You are not alone in the open sea. As you navigate, nature will follow.
- Is it possible to find adventure on the sea? Weed discovered an island, can we too go and explore a new continent?
-You can. Assuming that there are many lands unknown in the sea. It is the dream of all sailors to find the legendary Treasure Island.
After the broadcasting of Weed’s adventures, the interest for the sea was triggered. Sailing into the vast ocean waters and advancing through its warm surging waves was romantic. The desire to be a necromancer also spread like wildfire.
-I am asking you because you are a former necromancer. After you have gone through your 2nd job as a wizard, were there any major changes?
-Lich! It is totally my dream job. Strong, mean… people under his orders! Building intimacy with others is hard as a Necromancer, if you kill someone, notoriety will pile up fast, that’s the story, thank you. Originally, I did not have any friends.
-Why not create a party of necromancers for adventure? Make like 5000 skeletons, and kill all when exploring a dungeon.
Becoming strong enough to have an undead army, but lonely and alone, you mainly hunt at night. Solo career boasted the ultimate power of the Necromancer. It was becoming popular again. In order to become a Lich, the existing Necromancers were eagerly exploring and leveling up. In the Versailles continent, they were often seen by others in towns and castles focusing on equipment or searching for a colleague.
-An adventurer that makes the impossible possible.
- Creating his path step by step.
- The God of War. A hero who does not give up.
Weed became tremendously famous. In Versailles continent, a hero was created instantly. Bards and dancers of the continent made a show about celebrities. They would dress-up as Weed and monsters in the streets, and hold performances to entertain people. Changes occurred in the sculptures carved by Weed in Rosenheim Kingdom.
- Fox sculpture: Durability: 9 / 10 -
A finely carved sculpture of a fox. The carved target is a fox that can often be seen outside of the Citadel of Serabourg. Made in large quantities in a short time, the work is one of many. Is made from wood that can be easily found in a forest. Despite a long time, it has maintained a vivid appearance since it was well kept.
Artistic value: Negligible
Optional: you can observe the appearance of a fox.
Sold cheaply for only a few silvers before, there was a surge in the value of these sculptures.
- Fox sculpture: Durability: 9 / 10 -
A finely sculpted piece of the fox. The carved target is a fox that can often be seen outside of the Citadel of Serabourg. Ordinary people might not know, but it was made by Versailles continent’s sculptor Weed. A sculpture created in his early years, seems to be quite valuable among enthusiasts looking for souvenirs by the famous Weed. Is made from wood that can be easily found in a forest. Despite a long time, it has maintained vivid appearance since it was well- kept.Artistic merit: Seems to have some collectible value.
Optional: -If you use it as a gift for a very big favor, familiarity can be obtained. -Charm +2
It was not a big change, but Weed’s sculptures were bought by collectors. His sculptures prices in the stores tripled, and even the Sculptor guild’s requests for Weed’s sculptures have arisen.
“How much do you know about the adventurer named Weed? There is a job I want to entrust to him… you’re not reliable enough.”
“The dangers were high, but… Weed is truly a great adventurer.”
“The Warriors of Chaos are a very strong ethnic group. Such species will require great courage to fight.”
“In the North, Morata’s great lord has successfully completed this expedition. The people in this area are glad to be able to follow such a courageous lord. We are also relieved of the threat of monsters.”
NPCs, soldiers and residents were talking about Weed. Even the drinkers would talk about it.
“Ttalkkuk! There is no liquor left. I want to drink more liquor, but I don’t have the money. When I get home, my wife would ask where the money is…today, I’ll sleep outside. I would give a drink to hear Weed’s story though … ”
For completing the first S-level difficulty quest, the praises for Weed reached new heights. Drinpelt, Grobidune and the users of Hermes guild were burning with motivation to kill Weed.
“Weed, you will surely die by our hands.”
“You and your comrades will surely not get out of Jigolaths.”
“Take the bull and just kill it to make beef-rib soup.”
———-
Weed and Yellowy finally arrived at the mining area!
Ding! - A sculptor came in the area to excavate ore in the mines.
Rewards: reputation increased by 460. For one week, vitality consumption is slightly reduced for mining.
“huhu.”
Weed had a smile on his lips. He could sell the land of the mining area since it was a spacious place and he was not forced to keep it.
“My sixth sense was right.”
The mine’s name was connected somehow to monsters hunting, or he might not have an extra request. With his hard work, he might get something. The sculptor had to excavate the various ores scattered around in the land. Weed considered this case and brought Yellowy to help him transport them back.
You have obtained a feldspar.
The smooth surface will make a luxurious nice stone sculpture.
“Yellowy, I’m here.”
You have obtained a moonstone.
It will emit a fragrance in the moonlit night. When you create a sculpture of a pond, fairies, butterflies and fireflies will fly to it.
“Yellowy, carry it.”
You have obtained a malachite.
The many pieces of materials were treated as merely things in spite of being fairly popular. Naturally, they are handy and can be exchanged for money.
“Yellowy, be careful when holding it.”
The pieces of materials and minerals were put in Yellowy’s backpack. They read what a sculptor had engraved on the wall, and these were what the words said:
The sculptures in the continent are declining. A new strong challenge is needed for the sculptors. The sculptures made of helium will give back glory to sculptors.
Is the legend of helium really true? It is man-made fiction created by greed? The helium that is an endless source of mana. If it could be made into a sculpture?
Digging, and digging again. Here, time is going away and you get old. Now, there is the power of the pickaxe. Why would Art be such a poor ability?
Pickaxe hit somewhere. I was expecting helium, but it was a rock. How many rocks did I dig? I would rather have not come to this side…
His words were filled with regrets. In fact, there were no sculpture made of Helium, but there were a few items made by blacksmith skills.
In the continent, several items such as swords, armor, holy relics and certain sacred stones made by Helium were able to emit limitless mana, and the value of such things were enormous. Weed thought Helium was surely here.
“It means I can openly work hard!”
Although it was easy to dig, digging something was not easy. If it wasn’t for the wedding food they had received, he would starve. Weed could not even imagine not working, since that would violate the laws of nature!
“Let me see that.”
Weed assumed that the sculptor might leave something important and was searching for it. There was a sack of rotted wood with blunt ends whose performance seemed to be hard to demonstrate.
“In order to work, I need to create something …”
Weed used his blacksmith skills and, with a mixture of steel and a small amount of Mithril, created a pickaxe. He was using high-quality materials, but the loss could be recovered later by dissolving it.
kkang! kkang! kkang! Weed’s song was top quality. Endless hours had passed. He had been digging the ground for at least a day, but helium did not come out.
- You have obtained 2 iron ore that you dug up. -
- Found a small amount of copper. -
Sometimes, at least finding some minerals was the only consolation.
Ding! - Skill earned due to repetitive tasks. -
Beginner Mining Level 1(0%): a miner’s skill.
-Skill needed to dig in the mines’ grounds. -Slightly increases the effectiveness of pickaxes and shovels. -Will increase in strength and perseverance as the skill grows. -If you find high quality minerals, your luck and fame will increase.
“Damn!”
Weed was feeling remorse and was self-reflecting. There were a variety of ways to work hard. From digging to be able to get the stats, I should have gotten the mining skills earlier.
“It’s still not enough.”
Weed was caught off guard for a moment, and his position was in a crisis, so he needed to work harder. He could also make sculptures to get the stats, but creating masterpieces would only raise them by 1 at the best.
“A couple of days to gouge what I wish out of the earth…”
After the skill was generated, Weed had improved it a little by digging out rocks. It slightly decreased vitality’s consumption and the range of his pickaxe widened.
“I still need to slightly increase the efficiency.”
Weed left the plow to take the Mithril that Yellowy had brought.
“I brought what you want. I am not eating for free now. I am working diligently to get my 2 coppers each day.”
While carrying, Yellowy made sure to flatter Weed in order to eat!
“I am glad to see the owner. It is really hard to do farm work without complaining while digging.”
With his flattery, Yellowy was able to eat a lot and the work efficiency increased. However, the mining areas were broad enough to build apartment buildings.
“Nevertheless, there are limits to humans.”
Weed, after a long time, made a statue of the Orc Karichwi. An unmatched ugly-looking face, but it had grown much bigger. His robust muscular shoulders and strong legs were at least 50% bigger.
“Sculpture Transformation!”
He used Sculpture Transformation to transform himself into the Orc Karachwi.
“Chwiik! Let me see!”
In undead state, there were 2 advantages, infinite vitality and there being no need to eat food. However, when it comes to strength, Orcs were better. Weed was persistently hitting the ground where Helium was believed to be. Orcs were dramatically consuming vitality and had to eat constantly, but due to a significant increase in strength, the digging speed increased and Weed was able to gather quite a lot of ore.
Ding! - Mining skill has reached beginner level 2.
When using pickaxes and shovels to aim at the gaps of the rocks, vitality consumption is decreased and you will be able to increase the speed of mining operations.
-Perseverance and luck are increased.
The skill proficiency has increased at a very fast speed.
Since robust strength is required for repetitive tasks, to be equipped with tenacious endurance is one of the most important requirements for a miner.
Mining skills has reached beginner level 3.
Mining skills has reached beginner level 4.
He did not know how much time had passed. Weed sang as his whole body sweat. Of course, time intervals were ignored and he was singing in joy and motivation to work.
“When you dig, money comes out, food comes out, rice comes out. When helium comes out, it`s a jackpot. With the money, where should it go. Spend it on delicious food? Of course not, it’s such a waste. Spend on clothing? After a few years I won’t fit it anymore. I should keep it to myself and take it to my grave.”
Expressing love for money and thrift song! The mining skill was increasing and it was now possible to see and determine roughly where they were buried. If you dig more and find better minerals, you could improve the mining skill proficiency. Weed’s strength and perseverance stats were also phenomenal, and in Jigolaths, you had high quality water and you can dig in mines.
“Let’s dig more and more. Gotta earn money without restraint.”
Weed and Yellowy continued to dig into the ground.
———-
In between his character hunting and adventuring in Jigolaths, Lee Hyun had his midterm exams in his Korean university. Also, the 2nd semester came sooner than expected in November. With the gradual falling leaves, he was waiting for winter break to come. Lee Hyun was walking while carrying his backpack.
“Human’s potential is scary. Living on the borderline of life and death is like waking up to eat while feeling every single cell in the body.”
He was describing the life in the jungle, the life-threatening beasts and insects. He had just gone on an expensive round trip and Lee Hyun felt that the world was weakened by money.
“Hello.”
In Korean University, Lee Hyun only needed to walk and Martial Arts students would greet him politely. Even the seniors would bow respectfully, but Lee Hyun didn’t feel awkward about it. The disciples where formally trained in the large dojo and they would encounter each other at the same place. They were showing respect and would bow their head to Lee Hyun according to the ranking system. Lee Hyun went past them. Lee Hyun’s name had become famous among the students.
“How did it feel crossing the desert and jumping from an airplane?”
“Africa to Europe and home.”
The strange people who enjoy extreme sports spread the rumors that he had traveled to Europe during the break, among the students. Furthermore, it was difficult to hide his past, and the fact that he was called Princess’ Knight on the Internet was also known.
“Be quiet. I want to receive a scholarship.”
Lee Hyun sighed angrily and let it rest. He needed perfect attendance for a scholarship. Lee Hyun was hoping to be able to go home earlier after school. The spare time to make money was not a lot. He might as well just drop out. After class began, Seo Yoon passed him a note.
‘Would you like to drink coffee after class?’
Naturally, Lee Hyun was extremely troubled. He wanted to get home early to play Royal Road. A few days is needed for the body to feel accustomed to the pickaxe. He needed time to dig and collect minerals, and could not have coffee or eat with a woman. It was Lee Hyun’s completely depraved standards. He did not care for either women or extracurricular activities.
“I don’t know why I am called to drink coffee.”
However, it was hard to flatly turn down Seo Yoon.
“If I refuse, she’ll kill them? Golden Bird and Silver are taken as hostages…They are waiting at the entrance with her, waiting for me to get out, aren’t they?”
Seo Yoon was able to talk, but often when she wanted to say something, she mainly wrote notes. Lee Hyun gave a handwritten note.
“Adlay tea.”
After the lecture, Lee Hyun dragged Seo Yoon and headed for the vending machines.
“The price for Adlay tea is 300 won. Today, I have to spend 300 won here.”
Many students were swarming like blood there in the hallway trying to pull a coin to get a coffee. Seo Yoon pulled his collar.
“Why, you want some Adlay tea too?”
Lee Hyun raised his head, conscious of the stare of other students as he was still been pulled. This meant she wanted to drink at another place.
“You don’t want?”
He looked at Seo Yoon spending patterns, and took a guess. This means a place that was well-decorated, suited for conversation, and with a better atmosphere!
“No way, in the coffee shop?”
Lee Hyun did not understand why people went to the coffee shop. Throwing away money to drink a 3000 won and over coffee. Lee Hyun did not want to pay the price of the expensive coffee! His daily life was better now, but just 2-3 years ago, he did not even have enough money to buy rice. So Lee Hyun stayed in front of the vending machines, despite the fact that Seo Yoon was still holding his collar. Seo Yoon took out her wallet. There were money and credit cards inside!
“You’re buying?”
Seo Yoon Nodded. As Seo Yoon shook her head and led, Lee Hyun followed her.
“People gotta get a cultural life. But coffee is not really what I wanted to drink.”
———-
Seo Yoon gave a written note to the taxi driver for the destination. As they rode the taxi, it arrived at the foot of a five-star hotel along the river where the view was very good, a famous place. Again, the gap between rich and poor was showed to Lee Hyun. In the hotel, there was a space for a coffee shop and for watching drama movies.
“I can understand why people come here to drink coffee.”
Of course, if you were eating outdoors, it is especially awesome if you said you were eating on a ship. The drinking coffee as well as the atmosphere and the good place were all icing on the cake!
“I am starving. If you starve for few days, whatever you look at and eat is going to be delicious.”
Lee Hyun sat on a chair in a coffee shop while looking outside. Through the window of the bridge, he could see the passing river and the lights of cars the were on the road. Meanwhile, it had turned dark and the night came. The clerk put down menus on the table.
“Are you ready to order?”
Lee Hyun opened the menu to get something to eat, and froze up after reading what was written on the menu.
Americano 13,000 Hazelnut 13000 Espresso 13000 ———————- Herbal Tea 14000 Iced coffee 14,000 Coke 8000 ———————- Fruit juices 15000 Cocktails 19,000 ———————- Tax (10%), extra services fees (10%) “Gasp!”
Taxes and services charge included, the official price for a cup of coffee was more than 15,000 won. One slice of cake with strawberry jam was priced at over ten thousand won, and hard liquors were priced at anything from hundreds of thousands to even over one million won.
A bottle of water was 6000 won and a small dining menu was between 30, 000 to 50,000 won. Of course, the price was excluding taxes and services. Lee Hyun’s respect for Seo Yoon was soaring quickly. People who usually eat food in these places are not ordinary human beings. Lee Hyun looked through the menu and ordered:
“An Americano, and one egg in it?”
“Excuse me?”
“I want egg coffee.”
Since it was an expensive coffee, not putting eggs in such a case was unfair. Seo Yoon pointed with her finger at the menu entries and ordered a set of coffee and waffles. Coffee with a good flavor, and you could hear calming music. And in front, was Seo Yoon. Since there were people around, it was difficult for Seo Yoon to talk.
She wanted to talk nevertheless. Lee Hyun had gotten used to spending a lot of time together. Looking at her attitude and her glances, he was able to guess what she was thinking. Even in Royal Road, whenever she ordered food, the line was quite impressive.
When she was hungry at the end of a tough battle, he would give her special meals since he knew what her favorite dishes were. He would give her the delicious and easy parts of the roasted meat to eat.
In a fight, he would take the lead since his damage was high. It was difficult to know the warmth of that man. Seo Yoon wanted to take it a step further and forge a dialogue with Lee Hyun.
She opened her mouth and said with a lovely voice:
“Hey, do you want me to tell you how they’re doing now?”
“I wonder.”
“Half Sauce half fried and the other chickens?”
“Have you not eaten them yet?”
“The eggs have hatched and newborn chicks came out.”
“A good earthen pot of chicken soup with ginseng.”
The conversation was running completely parallel.

Chapter 4: Mithril Angel I apologize for the wait…I was log out before I could click on the button to publish (TT^TT)…but you got tables now …<(^~^)>…
“Within a few days, we should be able to locate him.” “A few days more and it will be over 3 weeks.”
“We narrowed the area, so this time for sure.”
Drinpelt and Griffth’s tracking team composed of thieves were able to get data on the God of War. The patience they showed while tracking to follow Weed was completely gone.
Although the team that came to Jigolaths, the assassins and the thieves’ characters were fairly good. They changed their method and the 8 assassins and the 4 thieves split up the search and any information obtained through this process was noted on a map.
As a result, a lot of information on the underground dungeons of Jigolaths was obtained and also nearly 23% of the entire map was completed. Barely 23% can be considered as negligible, but they excluded the roads and the dungeons that they were certain that Weed will not go. Since this was more practical, they were almost able to grasp Weed’s direction.
“It would take 4 days and even including the extra parameters, 6 will be enough.”
The assassins and thieves were confident enough as they narrowed the search. Hermes guild’s combat troops and Griffith’s pirates were hunting in the nearby dungeons and they were also fully prepared for the meeting. Seo Yoon was also aware of the trackers who were chasing them, including the thieves and the assassins, were coming.
Excluding KMC Media, the other broadcasting companies got some troops to come to look around Jigolaths via the Hermes Guild. On the Internet, they were looking forward already to see the 2nd showdown between that Weed and the Hermes Guild. In the broadcast, Drinpelt didn’t even hide that fact that they were chasing him. In addition, the entire area around Jigolaths was blocked by the Navy and the pirate ships.
Seo Yoon, who was standing at the entrance of the Helium mine which Weed went in, moved to another place. She left traces in many ways wanting to draw the assassins and the thieves, who with their tracking skills based on observing the signs, will be able to see through quickly. To reduce the number of enemies, Seo Yoon deliberately made trackable isolated road signs to lure them in.
“They went in this place.”
“Freshly made footprints. Let’s follow them.”
Looking at the signs, the tracking speed was raised. The assassins were distributed to various locations to ensure the security of the troops due to their low number.
“I’m sorry.”
Seo Yoon, holding her sword, was waiting for them.
“The enemy!”
An assassin who dashed earlier in the dungeon quickly found someone standing in the darkness and threw a dagger at it. Chou chou syuk! The thrown weapon was flying and pierced through the darkness! Seo Yoon ran forwards at full power. The dagger brushed by her body. Seo Yoon waved her sword.
“Keuheok!”
The assassin quickly back off from the attack and using an even faster movement speed attacked in front of him.
“How dare you!”
“We’ll have to reckon with you.”
Seo Yoon brandished her sword continuously towards the assassin. The enemy, in defense, was resisting and neutralized her continuous attacks. The knights of Haven Kingdom’s Navy fleet wung their swords towards her. Whenever the knights in armor’ attacks hit Seo Yoon ‘s health would drop. The more the fight last, the Berserker was in more danger since her health was decreasing. Seo Yoon disliked safe hunting. She had died many times while hunting monsters in her early days in Royal Road.
Seo Yoon’s attacks were overwhelming the Navy Knights and killed one of them. Suffering continuously under Seo Yoon’s attacks, the remaining Navy Knights died easily. Seo Yoon had to move to another place afterwards. The trackers have to handle more things as they were delayed.
*** Kkaang! Kkaang! Kkaang! Kkaang! Kkaang! Kkaang!
Weed was going deeper every time he was digging with the pickaxe. The sideways were also destroyed. In order to preserve his vitality, he took off his armor and was wearing simple clothing to work to find the Helium. Dirtmen were also summoned to help, but they couldn’t help at all.
“Incompetent bastards.” Helium was buried deep in the ground and might be protected by divine magic or some special metals since the spirits were not able to find it.
Ding!
Your skill level has reached beginner 10 and it will be changed to intermediate mining skill.
You will be able to dig without damaging along the margins of special minerals. You will be able to see and feel special properties of minerals.
+2 additional points will be given in all stats.
Since your profession is not that of a miner, your vitality will be increased by a maximum value of 300 and your rate of recovery of vitality is permanently increased by 0.4%.
Your fame has risen by 30. Strength stat has increased by 5.
“Finally, I have obtained intermediate mining.”
Since he was working hard in silence, the result was that he felt that intermediate mining was still far from reach. A large number of minerals were buried there and he was quietly sweating drops of perspiration in the mine.
Kkoreureureug.
Your stomach is empty. You are starving. Your movement speed is decreased by more than 25%. Up to 65% of the normal vitality will not be recovered. During a battle, by becoming brutal, Orcs can temporarily exert a strong force. However when the battle is over, you will feel an even greater hunger.
Weed finely crushed the barley bread in the water and drank it. Due to the nature of Orcs, he had to eat steadily. Yellowy was ruminating about food while plowing. They were endlessly doing mining operations in the area! Weed would often speak with Yellowy.
“When are we going to find Helium?”
Every time Weed dug using the pickaxe, the area was greatly increased. He obtained many minerals and gems and even found large monster bones while excavating sometimes. However, no matter what, Helium was not coming out.
“You didn’t end here right, Helium?”
It was understandable if you think about it. An excellent sculptor of Versailles continent came here trying to find the helium! After coming to Jigolaths to find the legacy of the sculptor, he learned about Helium after witnessing that story. Finally, he became good with the pickaxe with intermediate mining skill. Or course, Orcs could still feel fatigue and had to rest. Weed stopped working and noticed that Yellowy was laying on the ground. Then he looked away carelessly from Yellowy to the wall.
Then, he looked away from Yellowy and carelessly looked at the wall. He learned the mining skill and got used to digging the ground. After digging the ground with the pickaxe, a clear difference was showed between the blocks of piled stone and clay. Weed felt like it was deliberately placed there just to prevent something to be seen.
“There is something beyond I think.”
Weed lightly touched the wall. With intermediate mining skill, just touching the minerals was enough to tell their properties.
“Here, there has to be something. There are not only thick walls.”
Weed quickly ascertained and chose a reliable method. He was piercing the wall with a pickaxe. Kwareureu Reureung. Beyond that block of clay walls in the inner space, the figure of the sculpture of angels was revealed.
“There is a sculpture here.”
The gracious sculptured angels were spreading their wings and arms as in welcoming the two visitors.
You saw the Advent of the Seven Angels. A sculpture by a sculptor standing at the pinnacle in Versailles Continent! The great sculptor master Daycram made it by using Mithril. The pure Mithril’s crystalline characteristics are fully exposed. The advent of the angels in the new territories is lively carved. A hidden treasure in the Versailles Continent. Will become a great strength for humans including other good races. Health, mana, and vitality recovery speed is increased by 40%. All stats increase by 45. Faith is permanently increased by 15. Your footsteps are lighter. Reduces the damage of black magic. Reduces armor’s weight by more than a half. Increases physical strength and enhances the probability to get items. The brightness of the sculpture weakens evil monsters, making them reluctant to approach it.
- Angels’ blessings are granted. Racial characteristics double except for every condition above. If in reduced vitality and health, you can still continue in optimal state during battle. The divine force will block the special attacks from monsters affiliated with the darkness.
Weed’s whole body was overflowing with strength. Due to the sculpture’s effect, the orc with ridiculous amount of muscle was overflowing with Herculean strength!
“This is an artwork by the master sculptor Daycram.”
It was as though sacred and noble angels just descended on Earth flushing in a magnificent sliver. Heroes tired after a long battle for the salvation of the continent will gather in front of the angels’ sculpture which seems to give hope. It was more fitting to be in a shrine or a royal palace.
“Made using Mithril, Holy shit.”
The sculpture was completely made with Mithril. If someone has a piece of Mithril, it would be a shame not to melt it to create a weapon. However, to be able to create a whole sculpture with Mithril!
Weed thought that buying wood from a sculpting store was a waste of money, so he cut his own wood. Obviously for stone, it was dug up from the vicinity and used. So with envy, Daycram was thought to be greater. To make artworks using Mithril means that he had very superior blacksmith skill similar to Weed. “A rich sculptor master with intermediate to advanced level of Blacksmith skill.”
There were no more than five master sculptors on the continent! Weed decided to look for more accurate information on his seniors by identifying the sculpture.
“Identify!”
- The Advent of the Seven Angels The sculpture master Daycram’s magnum opus!
The world has not yet seen such a work. If a sculpture of great work is known to the world, it will create a ripple effect. It was made perfectly by refining Mithril without any impurities. Do not know of any written means to maintain Mithril in perfect condition. Mithril’s distinctive brilliance and robustness are showed precisely. Hidden in the dungeon in Jigolaths, it was discovered by the sculptor Weed.
As time passes, the value of the artwork was added up.
Artistic merits: The work of a sculptor with divine skills: 57,900.
Options: During the day, the recovery rate of health, mana, and vitality are increased by 40%. All stats increase by 45. Moving speed is faster. Various magic resistances are increased by 25%. Black magic resistance is temporary added 80%. The damage of black magic is reduced when you are hit. Increase in the effectiveness of divine power near the sculpture.
A highly valued religious work: paladins and priests’ skills are permanently increased by 3%.
Depending on the profession, the faith stat is permanently increased from a minimum of 15 to 40.
An increase in drop rate for items and a higher chance of getting rare items.
Due to its high durability, it cannot be destroyed.
A manifestation of the angel’s blessings.
- Enjoying the artwork has raised the art stat by 87. Art stat has exceeded 2,000.
When trying to create noble art, it will add slightly some additional effects and reduce the chance of failure.
By appraising a higher artwork, your sculpting skill has increased by 3.5%. For discovering the Advent of the Seven Angels, your fame is increased by 1,450. If you disclose it to the public, it will increase the influence of art in the world.
Daycram also made works with terrible options. Other sculptures were heavy or easily damaged so it was difficult to move them. However for the Advent of the Seven Angels, even if it was hard, it would worth of bringing back in Versailles continent.
“Jackpot!”
Weed moved the angels to the wagon that Yellowy was made to drag, increasing Yellowy’s burden even more.
“The sculptures will only sell for a few gold…no, they should be melted and get sold as weapons!”
Weed was thinking of destroying the artworks.
“As expected in any field, reliable seniors lead and the juniors follow. Master sculptor Daycram is a really nice guy.”
Daycram wrote down some words on the wall behind the Advent of the Seven Angels.
Written by Daycram. Arrived here at the end of a long journey. For the revival of sculptures in the continent, I came here to find Helium.
“So, Daycram found the Helium.”
Weed desired to be the first one to sculpture the Helium. Being the first one in any fields of arts and magic, and not only sculpting, is highly praised. He could open the path to a new era, but he was more curious about Daycram’s sculpture that would have been made of helium.
Sculpture Life Bestowal, Sculpture Transformation, Sculpting Blade, Elemental Creation Sculpture! Daycram was one of the last master sculptors remaining and he wanted to acquire his skills. Then he could obtain something that was the basis of all sculpting.
Weed continued reading the post left by Daycram.
However, before the story of the Helium, I’ll try to talk a little about myself. Without any disciples, I went to Jigolaths sculpting I am a sculpting master, but no one wanted to be my disciple, so I went to Jigolaths due to holding a grudge for the painful solitude. I never expect to meet another sculptor Wood or stone or metal sculptures, making artworks was so much fun. However, destroying nature to create a sculpture, is that really the right thing to do? Magic skills didn’t develop in the past and many sculptures existed. During those times, craftsmen didn’t destroy nature and regarded it as a friend.
Weed never had any trouble with it even once. He was greedy and only obsessed with obtaining stacks of rocks and harvesting trees in dense forest in good quality.
Weed muttered discontentedly as he kept reading.
“He is just worrying needlessly because things have gotten comfortable.”
Destroying nature in order to artwork was not the right idea. So if possible, the materials for sculptures were not made from destroying it. I was also willing to use branches from rotten trees that were eaten by insects. Picking up fallen petals to make an artwork or make one out of clay. Of course, the worse the materials were, the harder it was to complete the work. The sculpture made of rotten tree didn’t look nice and the petals withered and quickly faded away. I didn’t even attempt to make magnificent sculptures by carving stones and cliffs. Thus, most of the works were made by melting iron. After making the sculptures of steel, I was appreciating it alone. Since I had to melt the steel again in order to create other sculptures, this was the way to cause the least damage to nature. I was also no longer commissioned by the royal family and the nobles; I had to sell things to live. I had 1 gold per month and to live, I had to quit drinking and reduce meals. Without the help of the people around me, I might have died of starvation.
There were unusually rumors known about Daycram among the master sculptors. He was also known for not creating much artwork. Thereby, it was very difficult to find the details about the unexpected stories.
“The master sculptor was an environmentalist.”
Weed was about to let out a sigh.
“But Gayharl’s royal lineage unified the continent, and Zahab confessed his love for a queen.”
Daycram was showing his impoverished and Weed wanted mostly to look away from it. Looking at the angel, he thought that he was rich, but that was a mistake since he judged too quickly. However, Weed, in the end, still didn’t give up on hope.
“He should have something stashed away.”
As other sculpting masters were impressive, he believed that Daycram also held great power.
I even carved using other materials such as the materials discard away by farmers like straw or fertilizer. When they saw a genuine sculpture by stacking loaf of fertilizer and pining grass on it, people thought of me as a madman. The beauty that is never seen, but is anywhere. So, I made a sculpture that is not a sculpture. Going to the beach to build sand castles on the sand and also watching the waves washing it away leaving fragments of shells on it instead. The trails on the ground left by the rain were also sculptures. During that time I saw sculpting in a new light. If it is a natural piece, then nature is returned to us intact which is great. Even just fallen trees or rocks lodged deeply in the ground, they all had the breath of nature in them. I learned the power of using even worthless things myself.
Ding!
-You have learned Nature Sculpting skill. You can make sculpture out of nature. You should have high affinity with nature and sculpting. Will raise the longevity of the sculpture’s materials. Even with carvings of stone or wood, the remaining force of nature will not disappear quickly. If you preserved as much as possible the force of nature, sculpted pieces will be preserved longer.
-An affinity with nature is created. Since that day, it occurred to me who knew nothing before, to be friends with it While you create a sculpture while thinking about nature. I realized that when you a hitting, cutting and breaking to sculpture, you can share a conversation with nature through the skills. While sharpening a rotten piece of wood, I could still capture mana from the surroundings.
However, people were only concerned about my boat sculpting. My sculptures which were dirty, steep not good-looking or beautiful, they didn’t want to learn about them since they were hard to understand. It was very difficult to find natural pieces with mana. But, they did not believe me since they thought my words were a lunatic’s nonsense talk.
- I came to Jigolaths to show the world that I was not wrong. I made plain works with the Mithril I gathered in this mine while digging. I tried it because I found the toughness of Mithril and its pure mana to be beautiful. For a long time, no one was able to see or find it and might never will. The legend of the Helium is precious information only known to a few among the sculptors and my sculptures were hidden to prevent anyone to find them.
Fortunately, sculptor Weed found out.
“Figure, all that trouble for nothing. It is hard to find what he had deliberately hidden.”
The heartwarming respect for the senior sculptor he felt for leaving and giving the sculpture did not even last more than 1 minute and 20 seconds.
Sculpting with perseverance and harmony is a challenge. Learning to sculpture the nature is tricky, but the force of mana you get from it has great value. I hope that more sculptors will learn my sculpting. Teaching and giving it on the behalf of me to the Sculpting Guilds would be nice. I will leave for Great Debkart Mountains to sculpt this helium piece. I, Daycram, discovered an unknown sculpting skill, Disaster Sculpting. If you wish to learn my sculpturing art, climb up the Great Debkart Mountains.
“Oh great. In the end, he grabbed the Helium and left.”
Endless greed and regret for the item. Weed sighed and relaxed since he had to check the newly acquired skill.
“Skill check! Nature Sculpting!”
- Nature Sculpting beginner level 1 (0%): A sculptor’s common skill. Can be obtained earlier by Sculptors themselves by worshiping nature. The sculptor master Daycram organized another chance for sculptors to learn it.
Requirements: Advanced Sculpting needed by default. Might can be demonstrated with higher the affinity with nature. Based on the natural materials, you can make a sculpture. Compared to Elves and Fairies, Humans need three times the efforts to raise the skill.
Current Affinity with Nature: 470.
Nature was made the subject of many sculptures. +153. As a result of the Dark Elves shooting fire arrows on Yuroki Mountains, affinity is reduced.-79. Due to climbing Horom Mountains, affinity is increased. +15 You have persevered through the great forces of nature such as ice and snow storms and volcanic eruptions. +29. You have adjusted the distorted climate of the North of the continent. +106. You have created Elemental Spirits. +80. You have damage nature for materials for sculptures.. -32. Due to constructing a mystic pond that preserved nature, you gained the favor of fairies. 9. Nature has being damaged by building shacks and forts. -47. You have sailed. +15. You saw the aurora at Deronhae. +21. You have kept Jigolaths fire aura. +61. You have hunted many monsters harmful to nature. +139.
Notice!
At your current level of affinity with nature sculpting, you can use cloud sculpting.
Cloud Sculpting: Nature Sculpting based on what skill you can use. Depending on the level of your sculpting skill and affinity with nature, you can bring up the rain. Can bring nature’s wrath and also heavy rain can cause a disaster.
Weed’s numerous vandalism of nature was recorded in detail. The various quests, explorations, his perseverance and his sculpting experiences which increased affinity were showed.
“I thought I worked for nothing all this time, but I guess I was wrong.”
Even with high perseverance and toughness, it was still difficult to guarantee life, but anyway, until now, as a result of all his sufferings and successes he got affinity.
“Should I go to Great Debkart Mountains?”
For the sake of obtaining the basics of all sculpting, he needed to follow Daycram. Luckily, Morata was a couple of days away.
Disaster Sculpting! There was no way of knowing what will the sculptures which reproduces natural catastrophes cause. Tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, landslides, snow and ice storms, volcanic eruptions, etc…. If you could create such things…
“It’s really a great sculpting skill!”
The skill could not be any more satisfying for a sculptor.
“I have not heard of any rumors about a sculpture made of Helium.”
Perhaps something might have happened to Daycram. The world was dangerous and merciless. If there were no news, the probability of something bad happening was extremely high.
“If you’re already dead, the whole Helium is going to be mine! Kukukukuku.”
Light Wing attached to Weed’s back were resting, exhausted while Yellowy’s body was shivering with fear. Weed quickly regretted that thought and self-reflected on human’s true nature. Even though he didn’t find Helium, Daycram’s sculpture gave him a clue about its location and he gained nature sculpting.

australian dollar slumps as Fed hints at earlier rate rises
The battle on the Federal Reserve between the 'hawks' who would like to raise rates <a href=https://meetspanishwomen.wixsite.com/meetspanishwomen/>pretty spanish girls</a> and 'doves' who would like to keep them lower for longer is finely balanced, And has a direct effect on the Australian dollar and local interest rates.
In its meeting right away, The US Federal Reserve hinted at earlier and steeper annual percentage rate rises, Even as it pledged keeping in mind rates near zero for a "a long time,
In the battle between 'doves' and 'hawks' on the Fed's key Open Market panel, It appears aforementioned are slowly gaining the ascendancy, Pointing to growing likelihood of a rate rise in the first half of next year.
the Fed's chair Janet Yellen, Widely perceived as a dove, Was keen to emphasise certifications to the central bank's commitment to low rates.
"It is tremendously conditional, And it is linked to the committee's assessment of the economy, She said at the quarterly press management meeting after the meeting.
"There is no fixed mechanical presentation of a time period,
The economy is accomplishing steam, I think we could see some craze of rates by March or sooner.
Karyn Cavanaugh, Senior strategist at Voya contribution
an increasing number of analysts are interpreting this as Yellen giving herself the wriggle room to crawl out of earlier commitments to keep rates lower for longer.
"Yellen may be a hawk in dove's clothing because she keeps reiterating that economic data can change the pace of rate hikes and the direction to normalisation, New York based senior market strategist at Voya investment Karyn Cavanaugh told Bloomberg.
"The economy is putting on steam, I think we could see some improvement in rates by March or sooner,
registering for the dots: Rate hike likely by JuneThe Fed publishes a useful box on its member's judgements about what appropriate interest rates are likely to be in the future.
Only one Fed member is forcing for a rate rise this year, But just two do not see one taking before 2016 so the clear majority view (14 ture of 17) Is for rates to rise next year this much we already knew before the most recent meeting.
Of most of the people who see rates rising next year, Most see them ending 2015 between 1 2 percent, With only six seeing them staying below 1 per cent.
the normal estimate is for the benchmark funds rate to finish next year at 1.375 %, Which is 25 basis points over the June forecasts.
Today's meeting greatly reduces the danger of a March rate hike, And is fully according to a June liftoff in rates.
Societe Generale company economist Aneta Markowska
To get prices to that level, The Fed will need to start eventually, Blowing forecasts of a first hike in late 2015 from water.
never the less, Societe Generale's US based economist Aneta Markowska says discover signs that Janet Yellen's forecast for rates is at the lower end of the committee's range, And that makes a rate rise early in the new year very unlikely.
"The outcome of today's meeting greatly reduces the possibility of <a href=https://meetspanishwomen.wixsite.com/meetspanishwomen/post/what-s-special-about-spanish-women>hot spanish girls</a> a March rate hike, And is fully in line with a June liftoff in rates, She wrote in a note on the assembly.
"While the Fed continues to guide towards a steeper tightening cycle than currently implied by the market, We do not see any immediate catalysts for a re rating of market requirements,
use, Wages and blowing up the keyThere are three possible, And connected, Catalysts for such a forward and upward shift in US rate estimations: occupation, Wages and inflation.
If any of those start taking off, Especially if they all do, Then it could force the Fed into earlier and more affordable rate rises.
US passes unemployment to Australia US zero costs and money printing have exported unemployment to Australia through a higher Aussie dollar.
Arguably employment has already taken off, with the US jobless rate back to just above 6 per cent, Down from a peak around 10 per cent the particular Great Recession.
US having been fired is around the same as Australia's, And trending down other than up, Yet its rates remain 2.5 proportion points lower.
In her press discussion, Janet Yellen explained why she does not think the US labour market is as healthy as the jobless figure implies.
"There is still too many people who want jobs but cannot find them; Too many who are working part time but would prefer full time work; And too many who are not searching for a job, But may well if the labor market was stronger, She pronounced.
but the truth is, If that jobless rate continues to shrink below 6 per cent, And especially if wages start growing more strongly, that is to be a sign that the US economy is returning to full health and a warning that rising inflation may soon follow.
