Chapter 1. The Tomb of the Great King
Accompanied by Royal Knights, Weed walked down the hall as he considered multiple hundreds of artistic designs for the tomb.
‘A tomb that will leave a mark in history. A legendary tomb. Great and Majestic. A monument worth of a King.’
It wasn’t going to be easy to build such a tomb. But Weed wasn’t known to give up before trying.
‘Having no talent in art makes no difference. It is determination that allows you to succeed.’
Is there anything that can’t be achieved by hard work!? Weed knew no such thing.
In any business, hard work is the assured way to success. No wonder they say that progress is “1% inspiration and 99% hard work”.
No matter how talented you are, if you don’t put any effort, you can’t reach your goal.
‘There’s nothing I can’t do!’ Weed was inspired.
The size of the tomb had to be overwhelming. Any flaws on sculptural design will be compensated by its size. Similar to his greatest creation, the Ice Dragon, the bigger, the better.
‘I’ll build the most majestic royal tomb! And of course, I will succeed!’
Upon completion of this quest, Weed would not only receive a large amount of experience, but also receive a rare or unique weapon. However, the most important issue was how he should build the tomb, was still unknown to him.
- Weed, did you finish your audience with the King?
Pale suddenly whispered him. He was worried for his friend when he was dragged away by the Royal Knights.
Weed whispered back:
- Yeah, I’m on my way out.
- We’re all worried about you. Is everything okay?
- Yeah. I’ve received an important quest from the King.
- I see. So you’re leaving again...
Pale’s voice was filled with sorrow.
Surka, Irene, and Romuna felt the same. It’s been awhile since they’ve last met; not since their hunting expedition in Lavias. And now, just a few hours later, they’ll have to part again.
- No! For this quest, I’ll need help, Pale.
- Really? But the quest is from the King himself!
- Anything is possible.
- By the way Weed, there’s a huge crowd gathered at the entrance of the Palace. To be honest, I’ve never seen so many players in one place. If you get involve with the commotion, it’ll be a problem.
- There are lot of people?
- Beyond your imagination. And if you don’t come out soon, they might start storming the palace.
Pale’s description of the situation was vivid. The people swarmed around like storm clouds.
The King’s Quest!
Hard work and artistry! The Majestic Tomb!
At that moment, Weed’s thoughts gathered to construct a scheme, and his mouth widen into an insidious smile.
‘Yes, that’s it! That’s the way I’ll build the tomb!’
***
Pale, Irene, Romuna and Surka, quietly cheered for Weed.
“It’s hard to believe that the quest is from the King!”
“Tell me about it, something interesting is bound to happen”
Weed’s quest was given by the King himself. Therefore, the four friends whispered cautiously to prevent anyone from overhearing them.
“Are you sure we’ll be able to participate?”
“Yes, Weed said he needed help. So don’t worry about it”
“I’m more concerned whether Weed will make it out safely” Irene said anxiously.
Multitude of players swarmed the Palace walls. The moment Weed appears, players might start bombarding him with questions, and wouldn’t stop until their curiosity is satisfied.
For someone like Weed, who sold his soul to money and greed, being assaulted by hordes of players might be an unpleasant experience.
“Please let Weed come out of there unharmed” Irene prayed silently.
***
Weed came out of the Palace through the front gate where immeasurable amount of players had gathered.
Players abandoned their activities after hearing rumors of the first player to have an audience with the King.
People also blocked the back exit, with the possibility that Weed might use it to sneak out.
But through the front gates, where the crowd gathered, Weed exited boldly and was immediately the center of attention.
“How were you able to meet the King?”
“Tell us how we can have an audience with the King!”
“We also want to meet the King, please tell us!”
A number of people started asking questions at the same time, which resulted into nonsense chatter.
In the meantime, Weed examining the crowd’s equipment.
‘You can buy those travel clothes for 3 gold’
Weed started making computations.
‘That shield costs 6 gold, but considering how worn out it looked, he probably bought it off someone. If he’s good at bargaining, he might have bought it for 2 gold’
Amongst the crowd were some veterans, but the majority were novice.
Due to their low levels, they have yet to venture out of the city. The areas around Serabourg were perfect hunting ground for beginners! So when the rumors spread, they were the first to the scene.
“Ahem” Weed cleared his throat
To build a tomb wasn’t a difficult job. But to build a royal tomb in accordance to the King’s preference that would be able to mesmerize anyone with just a glance, was another matter.
If he tries to construct it alone, it would take more than a year. Thus, to get the job done fast, it will require a large manpower. Workers who will follow Weed’s orders unquestionably.
‘These people will be my workers’
Weed used his Advanced Level 3 Lion’s Roar to address the gathered crowd; otherwise, he would not have been heard by all.
“I will now inform you that I have just received a quest from His Majesty, King Theodarren, the ruler of Rosenheim Kingdom”
You have used Lion’s Roar
His loud voice reverberated throughout the crowd.
Sounds hit their ears as if it came from right next to them, an audible, articulate voice. For the majority of the beginners, it was their first time to hear such dynamic voice.
The curiosity of the crowd, have once again, been inflamed.
“What, really? A quest?”
“Meeting the King was remarkable, but...”
“A quest from the King himself?”
“First time ever in the entire Versailles continent?”
“The first. It is the first time in the continent that a King has made a request”
The surrounding players became even more excited.
“Please tell us what the quest is!”
“Help us meet the King too!”
As their chatter became incomprehensible, yet again, Weed stimulated their excitement even more:
“I’ve been commissioned to build something special. Fortunately, the quest can be shared!”
“Ooohhhh!”
