Seoyoon.
He had spent several months with her.
It was very difficult to sculpt various people doing different things such as dancing.
A girl dancing on one leg.
Four soldiers brandishing long spears.
It was very easy to break.
It was inevitable since he had yet to master moonlight sculpting.
“I can’t help it if it fails.”
Weed boldly took the loss. But it was worth it.
Shirtless men showing off around the campfire.
Women doing sensual and provocative dances.
The dancing was full of energy!
The Memory of the Night Festival in Morata had been created.
It took over ten days to complete.
- Please set the name of the statue.
- Please set the name of the statue.
Weed had thought in advance and gave it a noble name.
“A Night in Morata.”
Somehow he made a titled piece! He was reminded of a movie he saw when he was a kid. Weed couldn’t quite remember the name but he went with it.
- A Night in Morata, correct?
- A Night in Morata, correct?
“Yeah.”
Ttiring!

A piece that represents people dancing!An astonishing dance full of passion and energy was born. Unfortunately the sculpture was damaged a few times during creation.Incomplete sculpture.
Because of the reputation for being an excellent sculpture, it does not appear to be a mistake.
The sculptor gave this piece endless possibilities.
This piece will be talked of for many years.

The name of this sculpture will remain in the history of the Versailles Continent.

“Kuehuehuehuehue!”
Weed had a wicked smile.
Advanced handcrafting level 4!
Every time the skill rose, his damage increased by 8% and his crafting products would have better effects.
The sculpting class was amazing because of the ability to learn all crafting skills and access to the handicrafting skill, as well as the amazing two times growth rate for skills.
Royal Road’s hope for below average classes.
A skill that displays true physical effort!
Handicrafting!
He recently learnt the truth.
Handicrafting rapidly raised the Sculpting skill. It also widened the number of skills affected by Handicrafting.
It boosted all manner of production skills with more gentle handling, such as picking herbs. It made sewing more elaborate and helped to restore the durability of repaired items. Even mages needed some level of Handicrafting. One could not hope to increase the Handicrafting by focusing on one skill and repeating the same thing over and over.
Therefore, one needed a large variety of skills and training to boost the Handicrafting skill.
In other words, endless physical labor!
The embodiment of physical labor in all skills.
Whenever he got a level in Handicrafting, Weed could not help but smile.
“Handicrafting increased a level. Hehe, I should work hard and make another light sculpture.”
Weed looked to see that there was no one else around. Then he started to dance around vulgarly with the carving knife using Moonlight Sculpting.
“It’s like winning a lottery ticket after getting dealt a bad hand. It doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun.”
Simple and easy! Sometimes he expressed his delight like a crazy man. It was his one act of comfort from having to constantly repeat the same thing over and over.
“204 hours of hard work yet it came out flawed.”
Weed painfully reflected on his work.
He was not sleeping or eating properly and it had affected his work.
“If I worked 6000 hours this month, my goal for next month should be 6001 hours. That is what it means to be truly devoted to hard work.”
If he was given a lot of money, he would sew on doll eyes for 100 years!
The finished work however would have to be successful compared to the effort involved.
Weed put a massive amount of work into his sculptures but a few still ended up as failures.
“There’s still time left.”
Weed went towards the rocks without a break.
He had to go to Todeum but he could afford a little time.
For the next sixty days of the Versailles continent, Weed sculpted from the rocks in the mountains. He managed to make a couple dozen classic pieces, four grand pieces, and one masterpiece.
With that, he managed to reach Advanced Sculpting.
A large number of adventurers arrived in the town of Morata.
People used to stay away because of the severe weather, but now it had subsided.
Since the air and weather was refreshing, it was no surprise that monsters and adventurers started to appear.
“It’s a village!”
“According to the map, this is Morata.”
“Let’s check out the place.”
Villagers looked at the town in amazement.
Most of the northern towns had been devastated. With all the monster attacks, public security was a mess. In most towns, the monster had invaded too far.
They were less than villages and more like hunting grounds.
Monsters would trot around freely, eating and killing humans!
“In case something happens, I will lead the group. I leave healing up to you.”
“Okay. I’ll take care of the treatment.”
The party of five cautiously approached the village.
This party was quite famous in the Versailles Continent.
Behind the party was a total of 300 people.
People sought to explore the northern continent. They thought it would be safe once they entered a town. However it was early in the morning and that was the time that monster activity peaked!
The party raised their vigilance whenever they entered a village.
“Welcome!”
“Welcome to our village.”
The Morata citizens greeted them in unison.
“We sell tough durable clothes in Morata.”
“We also sell armor with high defense and clothes for women.”
The adventurers went around Morata’s specialties shops. They looked around at the trees and the ground. One of them nervously asked.
“What is that over there?”
This was usually not seen in a village.
The reason was soon revealed.
The adventurers saw a bunch of cute boys and girls holding a bunch of pretty sculptures!
“Selling sculptures of flowers, rabbits, deer, as well as high quality pieces! There are also sculptures of monsters from Morata, such as the wolves.”
The residents were trying to make money somehow. They were trying to earn money like how Weed earned chump change in the beginning.
Then they saw a vacant lot where Weed was sitting.
“Gear for sale, traditional antiques from the Nifleheim empire, as well as iron armor and clothes! There is no doubt about the elegance of the antique patterns!”
Weed piled swords and armor next to him.
“Swords! Iron goods from the master blacksmiths of the ancient Nifleheim Empire! Get this chance now before it passes. It’s not going to be here tomorrow!”
The treasures of the Nifleheim Empire. After so many years, the weapons and armor deteriorated and are now sold as antiques.
“Men, show off to women your love with these clothes and this sword. As for women, this dress was worn by the third princess of the past lord of Morata during a ballroom dance where she was proposed to. Imagine it...”
Weed built up on the items with story.
“What is that guy?”
A merchant?”
“Let’s check it out.”
The adventurers found themselves interested in Morata village.
They were surprised at the unexpectedly good performance of the stockpiled rusty swords and armor.
“What is this.”
“The damage on the rusty longsword is so good. I wonder how great it used to be?”
“That sword!”
“I like the dress.”
People flocked.
It was after they heard and saw the unexpectedly good performance of the items.
“Ajussi, how much is this dress?”
Weed smiled brightly as he answered.
That rotten fake smile!
“3600 gold.”
“Aegyae! I could buy clothes in the central continent for 3200 gold...and besides these clothes are old.”
Some people were reluctant to buy after finding out the price.
The performance was fine but it was overpriced!
The equipment was old so the durability was 20% lower.
Weed picked up the clothes.
“It looks like I did not repair it yet. Repair, polish, ironing!”
Repairing old clothes!
Using his sewing and blacksmith skills he could return them to their original state. Of course it was impossible to do complete repairs. The polishing would also disappear over time. Repairing them gave the treasures of the Niflheim Empire durability equal to common items but there was more. It had been so long since they have been repaired that the increase of durability and the change in the appearance of the items were spectacular.
“Please decrease the price a little more.”
“You know the clothes are too shabby.”
The guests complained while trying to beat him in a price war.
Weed also actively utilized engraving.
There was the sculpture of the beautiful woman that Zahab loved his entire life.
As well as Emperor Geihar Arpen that united the continent.
He was selling food along with the items.
“Original old styles are fashionable these days. I’m in a good mood so I’ll alter anything you want. I’ll carve whatever you want into it.”
This boosted the value of the items. Equipment performance was not the only aspect. No matter the performance, people wanted to look nice as well.
Nicely engraved equipment and sculptures worked to give a slight stat boost.
“Come! Come! Cheap! Cheap! Celebrate coming to Morata with a new set of equ
