‘A Righteous Warrior.’
He had a exceedingly good reputation known throughout the Royal Road. People assume that with good reputation, the person’s attitude is also righteous, however, it is often not the case. Oberon was one of rare people who lived up to the rumors.
Polite request!
In the Versailles Content, those who have the power, rule.
Even though he was just a Sculptor, he asked first rather than taking by force if need be.
Oberon was a loyal and respectful warrior.
For some people, it could be counterproductive if they acted in a roundabout way. Some people might try to negotiate, but end up bailing out. That's why most of the time, negotiations often lead to taking by force.
After analyzing the situation, Weed responded accordingly.
As a Sculptor, there were some skills that must be acquired!
To be able to sell goods for even 1 copper more helps greatly.
Weed wore the wrist protectors while smiling brightly.
“It fits well. Thank you very much.”
"One more thing, I have a question. What are you doing in this place?"
“Im.....”
Even if the central content was hot due to the curse, Oberon and the expedition found it weird for a Sculptor to be here.
“Wondering to many different places help awaken the soul of an Sculptor. Then in the midst of my travel, I received a request from a girl.”
“A request?”
She asked me to plant flowers and trees in the Valley of Death.”
“Ah!”
Oberon, Drum, and Kerberos finally understood the sudden changes to the valley.
‘This person was doing a quest.’
A sculptor doing a quest in the North!
A quest to turn a barren land into something beautiful. Oberon asked about the quest’s difficulty rank.
“That’s the way it turned out. We will try to explore the Valley of Death. That is, if you don’t mind the expedition exploring this region?”
Weed answered his question with a soft smile.
“I am a professional sculpture and I have pride in my work. But I feel guilty about destroying nature.”
He broke a branch off a tree and started to make a sculpture from it. In order to save money Weed always used the base of a big tree as he carved into it with his knife!
Weed showed the feelings of an artist who loved nature.
“Now all thats left is to plant some more trees and flowers. If you would get rid of the monsters if would make my job easier. And.... can we follow the expedition?
“Follow us?”
“Yes. The expedition is heading deeper into the Valley of Death, correct?”
“Yes we are.”
“I would like to see the expedition fight bravely.”
“I would not recommend it. In case of an emergency we could not protect you....”
As Oberon said this, Drum elbowed him and sent a whisper.
Captain, I'll look after him. As far as i know he has not joined a guild, after he sees our guild in action we could take the chance to recruit him.
But I do not know of the danger that might await them. You may not be able to keep them safe.
It's alright. They aren't' beginners. They can take a hit or two without dying.
But still...
Captain, your sense of responsibility is too strong. Do you want this person to feel rejected?
Kerberos the Wizard, noticed they were sending whispers to each other and intercepted by sending his own mini whisper.
Captain this person is already part of a quest in the north. Words can be dangerous, you cannot take them back.
The move was eventually left up to Oberon.
Oberon nodded.
“You may follow if you want, that's fine. But if there is an emergency we will not be able to guarantee your safety.”
“Thank you.”
With this Weed was able to ride along with the expedition.
As the expedition pressed farther into the Valley of the Dead he could plant the seeds, and he would be able to snatch the secrets of the Nifleheim Empire.
Weed, along with Alveron and Seoyoon, joined the support units in the back and followed the expedition.
The expedition was proceeding with haste.
“Move! Capture the Valley before nightfall!”
"Support units to the rear of the formation, Drill Scouts lead which way we should go!"
"Use protection magic, while Knights prepare to dominate the core area. Drive the monsters towards one side. Make sure to protect the Archer! Wizard prepare to cast a spell."
The expedition formed a spearhead and swiftly advanced. From the all the time they spend in the North they worked together well.
Assassins, Thieves, and Archers were paving the way forwards. There mission was to trap and kill any monster they found.
“40 traps set. Preparations complete.”
“Go to the next area.”
“Come on, come on, lets go.”
Doreum was tolerable enough to handle scouting monsters and lead the way. But he was shocked to see a relatively large demanding monster.
The monster used Curse Spells to assassinate some players.
“Forward!”
“The enemies are now Lizard Soldiers, and Lizard Kings.”
“Wizards, suppressing fire. Attack!!”
“Uoooo”
The Knights spearheaded the attack.
They were holding shields and swords as they rushed towards the enemy. Weed had to admit these charging knights exerted a tremendous pressure.
Kwa-gwa-gwang!
Archers and mages fired heavily onto the enemies.
They were supporting the front lines.
Large explosive magic landed.
The wizard group in the center led by Oberon had a considerable size.
Dark Gamers and Cold Rose guild members participated in the expedition while the support Professions remained in the rear.
The monsters in the Valley of Death were slain in an instant.
Meanwhile the charismatic Weed went to the rear.
“There are newly planted plants spaced out back here. Please try to be careful!”
Pavo and the other Architects were digging in order to build. The Geomchis were also shoveling to plant the seeds. Even cooks who had nothing to do joined in.
Cadmus the Tailor and Truman the Blacksmith, who were famous all over the Continent joined in as well. They had received souvenirs from Weed, therefore could not afford to hang around.
“What the hell are you doing?”
Sometimes members of the expedition looked back at the priceless scene of nature. But the production classes in the back did not seem interested.
Weed followed the expedition and plated seeds along the way. Once planted they grew fast and started to bud.
Weed just finished planting all the seeds he had.
Ttiring
Quest Complete: Plant Flowers.Seeds have been planted in the Valley of Death, to fulfill Prina’s wish.The growth of the plants and trees will create a forest in the future.
Since ancient times, Dwarves and Elves have fought over the Valley of Death!
On the edge of the Valley lived a particular race. They made a Village for themselves and produced many things. But they never forgot to give thanks back to the land that provided for them.
Quest Reward: When you return to Morata Village you will introduced to Prina’s friend.
Quest Complete!
Now all thats left is the quest related to the lost honor of the Nifleheim Empire.
Weed’s tension loosened.
‘It took a little time to deal with the monsters, but the quest wasn’t so difficult.’
They almost died due to the vicious cold. However thanks to the help of Tori, Seoyoon, Alveron and the others they were able to solve the quest.
He was also lucky to be able to travel along with the expedition.
Still his nervousness remained.
‘The expedition had been attacked by monsters countless times. If it hadn’t been for the expedition I would have had to waste 40 more days. But why were there so many monsters in this area?’
The expedition entered the Valley of Death.
Weed had visited the upper parts of both sides of this Valley! This was another whole area he had not been to.
“Humans. You dare step foot in here.”
“We are the ones who erased the Nifleheim Empire off the map.”
“Kyareureureureu! Kill the intruders!”
“Blood, Curse. Blood flow like a river through this valley.”
Suddenly Priests clad in black and monsters began to appear.
Using magic, the Priests commanded the monsters.
Alveron watched them grinding his teeth. It was the first time he made such unsophisticated reaction.
“Huh?”
"It's a bunch of Cultists who worship Evil Spirits! These Priests are devoted and faithful to the powers of evil and gained their strength by slaughtering the innocent. Each Church of the Continent have been long specified by the public. However, the Continent has excluded the Embinyu Church to prevent confusion. I would have never imagine them being in a place like this..."
Weed looked around.
Fortunately the expedition was so focused on the battle they seemed to not hear Alveron’s story. The battle intensified as more Priests of Embinyu joined.
Seoyoon was close by. Close enough to hear Alveron's story.
"..."
But Weed did not worry about it. Because she was not a person who would carelessly run her mouth! In fact, so to say, she cannot speak at all, so she could not speak of it even if she wants to.
Weed remembered the words of the Necromancers from when he had fought the Legions of Undead.
The necromancer looked around and said.
“We necromancers have experienced great suffering throughout our lives. But now the misunderstanding will be cleared up, and we will be able to formally accept disciples and develop the Black Magic.
“I pray for success.”
“You’ve suffered because of our selfish request. In return, I’ll teach you one secret. Do you think that the Versailles Continent is actually peaceful?”
“Huh?”
“An unknown darkness builds around evil deep within the cities. The Church of Embinyu. There were 12 recognized leaders.”
“Leaders?”
"Based on the Church of Freya, the group have been hiding in the shadows, otherwise known as the Valhalla Temple. They believe in the Evil Spirit of Water, and they want the world to be covered in Darkness. Among those 12 Leader, one of them lived as the founder of Baseurin. It is peaceful during the day, but when the sky turns into night, a festival of Cultists unfold. The overall achievement goes exactly as they wanted."
Baseurin is not safe. The Embinyu Church was more of a th
