Pavo nodded his head.
“Please leave it to me. I’ll build you a very sturdy house. It will withstand all sorts of storms."
- You have accepted the quest.
Houses made by digging out stone.
A lot of the city was busy in building new houses for the residents.
The villagers were even building a shopping district.
The residents were able to somewhat construct this much.
But the quality of the houses affect the villagers’ satisfaction and improve public security. On a certain level, productivity increases.
Even with a few people helping out, you still needed the professional help of an architect.
A kingdom. The construction of a wall around the town of Morata.
In order to ensure the safety and stability of the town, they built a wall and expanded the city.
A lot of people were interested in participating.
It was announced that there would be a new village made outside the wall.
Morata village was still underdeveloped. They had to create new fields and waterways.
Large scale investment in Morata was rapidly changing the environment for the poor.
Opportunity.
These were the best kind of quests for an architect.
The opportunity to actively participate in the development of a city!
Pavo pulled up his sleeves.
“We need to work fast! Hands on jobs are very scarce. We’re going to need people to work on this."
“Haha, I’ll help.”
Gaston could not conceal his envy as he saw Pavo working.
Having issues with your profession was a most sorrowful thing.
Quests were very few and you work for next to nothing so often you end up starving.
However, in Morata, they were in great need of an architect. There were god knows how many jobs for him.
‘Architect was so much better. I’m never going to get recognized as an artist.’
However, things then changed for Gaston.
Residents came up to him.
“Can you help me? I need a signboard for a shop that I’m going to open.”
It was not a very difficult job to do.
Then the village elder came.
“I want you to draw a picture on the city gates as a symbol of the village.”
Various doors of opportunity opened up for Gaston.
He was even asked to draw a map about monsters in the vicinity. When the map was completed, it could be sold to adventurers and he would get fame.
He even got jobs to make paintings for the castle.
The village elder said.
“Our lord is a lover of art. I think that my Lord would want to give some support to the artists in his city.”
Tons of Weed’s investment was used to develop the town.
Aside from donations to the Church of Freya, the village elder put large sums into art and culture.
***
Weed and his companions flew on the vampire bats.
“Kyyyaaaah!”
The acrophobic Surka screamed.
The bats did not have as much power as the Wyverns, who had large stature.
Cluster! Cluster!
Whenever she made eye contact with the ground she would be overcome with fear.
It was very shocking.
“So this is how the adventure starts...”
It was a grandiose start to the adventure of a lifetime. This was the kind of adventure that Maylon had fantasized about.
Pale was at a loss.
“Maylon-nim.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t the bats scary?”
“Well...”
“Then again, we are heading to the kingdom of the vampires so riding on bats will be an experience that we can’t miss.”
Maylon was convinced.
It was slightly different than how she imagined but one does not ride on top of bats often!
It was incredible to think if there were people flying above the ground on bats.
‘So this is Weed’s adventure.’
Pale was expecting the same thing.
This was the next place that they have gone to since the City of Heavens, Lavias. They spent a long time going on quests and adventures.
The bats flew for a long time until Morata was out of sight.
The faraway lakes and mountains looked smaller than their fingernails. They were so high up that the village looked like a dot.
Then they stopped in place!
The vampire bats were flapping in place.
After waiting for a few moments, Weed asked.
“Tori, are you lost?”
“No, Master.”
Tori replied in a relaxed voice.
“How much longer do we have to go?”
“That’s not it, the place is right here.”
“Then why?”
“Master, the noble Vampire Kingdom Todeum is in the world of the night. We will never be able to get into Riga during the day!”
“Then...”
“We have to wait until it is night.”
They remained hanging in the sky listening to the sound of the air.
Weed let out a deep sigh as Tori said it so naturally.
‘I brought my entire party. I wasted an entire day because of this ignorant bastard!’
Weed was regretting. A whole day had been lost.
“Tori.”
“What’s with the look?”
“Come over here, closer.”
“I don’t want to go over there.”
Tori had finally noticed. Weed was smiling brightly.
“Didn’t you say that you would send me and my party there shortly?”
“Yes.”
Tori revealed his fangs and laughed grinning.
“This is the last time I think I’ll have to say goodbye. Weren’t you fond of my sculptures?”
“A sculpture you say, Master? Master’s sculptures are very beautiful.”
Tori came over.
His face showed was one without any sign of doubt.
‘You are an ignorant man.’
Weed narrowed his eyes finely. Then he started beating him.
Papapapapak!
A cool and playful sound was ringing in the air.
There was the scene that Mapan always remembered seeing. Pale and Yurin just looked on.
Hwaryeong's calm eyes lit up.
“So strong. He’s so cool.”
He firmly hit him around. Weed’s actions were good.
Geomchi nodded.
“It seems I taught him correctly.”
The Geomchis sympathized with Weed.
“He’s only smacking instead of punching.”
Geomchi3 had a tingly sensation in his hands.
“I want to try hitting too...”
Geomchi4 agreed.
“It would be nice if I could get a vampire I could hit around.”
“Geomchi4, we’ll see if we get a chance to get one.”
“So I will.”
Irene was forced to sit in the front.
This kind of thinking was certainly not normal!
‘One only thinks about money and the others are narrow minded and violent!’
It was just what Irene expected from Weed’s philosophy. Nevertheless, she felt bad for Tori.
Weed could feel the beating he was giving.
He used high number of attacks in rapid succession giving off big and strong echos.
Weed honed his techniques by beating Tori!
His sword fighting involved increasing the number of basic attacks.
Whenever the skills were used correctly against a monster, he dealt huge damage.
But if the attack was a bit off or if he lost the flow of the attack then the skill was canceled. It was necessary to properly activate and use combat skills.
Because of this, it was a skill that you needed to use in Royal Road.
Surka was impressed.
‘He’s punching properly!’
She checked for anything that she could learn from Weed. Given her character class, she watched to see if she could learn to deal more damage. Daytime had passed and now it was night.
The door to Todeum was now open.
They were standing on ground instead of the sky!
Kurururang!
Deeper and deeper they went into the unknown swamp.
Tori said.
“This is the entrance to the Kingdom of Todeum!”
At the end of the description he plunged into the hole and rapidly descended.
“Kyaaaaaah!"
Surka’s feminine scream!
Almost at the same time, a snaky voice erupted forth.
“The kingdom of the nobility of the night! You are welcome to enter Todeum! Kuehuehuehuehue."
