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.
