In Royal Road Weed reminisces on how there’s a distinct difference between rich and poor. He says kids growing up while drinking white milk will never be the same as those drinking strawberry milk. It was his heartfelt theory on strawberry milk.
A flashback to the 4th day of the festival occurs. The seniors tell Seoyoon to enjoy the festival, 90% of the pub came to see her but the seniors gave her freedom. They tell her to participate in the festival and asks who she wants to go with.
She looks reflexively at Lee Hyun and he gives a broad smile while refusing. He planned to finish early and access Royal Road. The military veterans call his name with a certain subtlety.
They say it doesn’t sound possible but Seoyoon wants him to guide her through the festival. In the end he can’t refuse and begrudgingly says he can show her around while the seniors and guests all say they envy him.
She changes from the wedding dress to light clothes but its still beautiful enough to make the men drop their jaws. After getting past all the men who couldn’t believe their eyes, he grabs Seoyoon’s hand and says shall we. He believed unlike Lynn that Seoyoon would never be the first to hold hands.
Courage as a man and the numerous hands in the festival crowd. For those reasons he didn’t miss this chance. He feels her hand is soft, tender and surprisingly warm. Seoyoon’s body felt stiff for a bit but got over it quickly. Lee Hyun then asks what she wants. Lee Hyun takes her to whack a mole because Lynn seemed to like it.
The people at mole avenue were extremely resentful and jealous towards Lee Hyun. They say it wasn’t enough to bring Lynn yesterday, he also brought Seoyoon today. Moreover his changing behavior to match his partner was an abomination. Yesterday, he was shy when Lynn was grabbing hold of his arm but today he was actively holding Seoyoon’s hand. They call him the player of players.
Under Lee Hyun’s advice they played whack a mole together. While holding Lee Hyun’s hand Seoyoon didn’t miss a single mole but she felt heartbroken every time she hit a mole. The staff say how unfair the world is because of a handsome face or limitless money like Lee Hyun.
They ask what kind of appeal does that ordinary guy has. With yesterday’s experience Lee Hyun gets a carrot and kiwi doll from the shooting game. He gives the carrot doll to Seoyoon as a gift, he says the other is a gift for his sister so only take one.
Seoyoon firmly held the doll in her hands. since it was the last day Lee Hyun took her around till evening. Strangely when they came back to the hall, Seoyoon was smiling with a red face. Lee Hyun led her through the crowd in a complicated trail. He then asks if she wants to dance.
With her face red she nods since its a couple’s dance. Lee Hyun grabs her hand and brought her closer. They danced and moved their bodies naturally to the music. The dance was just them avoiding each others feet since they didn’t know how to do anything else.
Weed says the accursed festival is over and he can return to his daily routine. It says he gotten side effects from drinking since as a dwarf, beer affects him more. He thinks how his body will return to normal when he turns off shape shifter sculpture.
The advantages and disadvantages of different races are revealed; dwarves have stamina and endurance, but short limbs makes them slightly adverse to combat; barbarians are the zenith of physical strength, great for champions, but they don’t use mana and are weak to seduction magic; humans are neutral, allowing them to complement gaps in all parties.
Orcs, elves, fairies and hobgoblins are spotlighted as special races but the most common are humans. They also occupy the largest area in the center of the continent and possess the most influence.
According to whispers, Damon and his army are heading over to Ohdein Fortress. Prosperity Guild was collecting more mercenaries and 2 other countries allied with them, forming an army of 100,000 to mount a full scale war against the Resurrection Church. Meanwhile, Weed pulls out the reward from Death Hand. He hopes its not a quest related to the Resurrection Army.
He thinks how the battle against Death Hand was pretty hard and that if he didn’t have light sculpting he wasn’t confident that something made of stone or wood would win. The Resurrection Army first appeared near Mora and the symbol was revealed, that same symbol was on this sculpture.
He thinks how the quest might make him fight the Resurrection Army thats facing the 100,000 allied troops and has a dark look on how it might be such an impossible quest. With his face as a dwarf, it only added to the miserable expression. With this an employee at the pub goes up to him and says someone has sent weed a glass of beer. Weed humbly accepts and gives handshake as thanks.
Weed looks back on his quests that formed bonds with death knight Van Hawk and vampire Tori, the battle against Lich Shire and becoming lord of Mora. How if he d
