He just gave a name that randomly came to mind! But his friends couldn’t stand by for such atrocities in naming.
"What the hell is that? You’re giving it such an ambiguous name.”
"It resembles a Cerberus. Name it Cerberus."
Bellot and Romuna protested, but Weed did not listen.
"No, I don’t want too.”
"Why? What is the reason you don’t want to give it the name Cerberus?"
"Because it’s annoying to call it that."
To him, dogs were just dog meat and when summer arrived, their loyalty could decrease.
Because it’s an hunting dog it was perfect to just call it Hunting Dog!
Nevertheless his friends called it by the name, and it wagged its tail hard stating that it liked it. Eventually it was named Cerberus.
Weed gave the other Living Sculptures their names during the middle of the night.
"Let’s call you Countryside Snake."
The elegant snake with dozens of patterns was given a name called Countryside.
"Let’s call you Worm."
Death Worm. When it digs into the ground, its body can become a colossal monster that can grow up to 200 meters.
When it was given life in Jigolath its size was only about 1 meter.
As it consumed food, it grew up to 8 meters. While fishing, Zephyr wanted to use it for bait, but now it was so big that it could even swallow a whale.
So far, Death Worm was a monster that has never been caught before.
"Should I call you Dolsoe?”
He was about to give the knight the name Dolsoe but he asked for its opinion.
“Knights are detached and have a strong sense of pride, if I give just any name, the knight will ask for his freedom and might possibly leave.”
The knight directly gave his own name.
"I would like my name to be Silver BlackSun."
"And the reason?"
“This is for the remembrance of the creator who created me.”
Loyalty is strong, it was a name that he would not be indebted to the sculptor.
"Alright. Silver. I look forward to working with you."
For the sculptures that were tagging along, he gave them any names.
From the time the living sculptures landed, they hunted together in the forest with the Wyverns separately. The Fire Giant who left Jigolath first riding on the Phoenix and Bingryong arrived before them and were hunting together at the large forest.
"As the living sculptures become stronger, I can make them do a lot of things and make a lot of money!"
Weed had arrived back to Morata.
The Tower of Light on the eastern mountain, a wide lake with the Statue of Goddess of Freya, and the Grand Art Center in city.
Players were crowding the streets everywhere.
In the past, in front of the giant black castle was where the vampires once lived. There once were collapsed buildings of a humble village. But now there are brick roads, sidewalks and residential areas are built.
"Let’s quickly go. If we are late there’s going to be too many people.”
"We will be returning in the evening right?"
"Yeah. The Tower of Light light show will begin.”
The finalized parties for hunting and adventuring rode on cows as they headed towards the nearby dungeons.
The people who passed by the hills on the road saw the formation of the tightly formed shantytowns.
As Weed looked at the shantytown, he felt like he returned home.
"There are quite a bit of increase in people and homes.”
In the 5 squares, the people were doing business and selling japtems.
The increase of the number of players since Weed left could be easily seen.
He knew that Royal Road’s bulletin board and various broadcasts from KMC and other stations helped Morata grew. To him, it felt like the increase of players was only a matter of time.
It even became difficult to remember the humble village that it once was and the stores grew larger about four to five times their original size.
Mapan explained it from his side.
"Because of the war in the Central continent, the city got a huge influx of newbie players. In Royal Road, a survey for newbie players about their most wanted place to start in showed that Morata is the favorite one.”
From the newbie’s point of view, the war over the Central Continent was shrouded in chaos, So they choose Morata over the other Kingdoms from the Central Continent.
Weed walked with his group to the gates, the newbies that were hunting foxes and rabbit stopped what they were doing. Their eyes became enlarged as they saw the group enter.
"That guy... No way, isn’t that bull Yellowy?"
Rather than knowing the major level players, they instantly recognised the famous muscular cow Yellowy!
Weed was not in Lich or Orc appearance but in his casual appearance even so he was caught out by the gate guards.
"It’s the Lord! Morata's lord is back!"
Newbie players gathered around and rumors spread throughout the squares. Merchants put away their business, dancers, bards and the architects that helped build Morata gathered, sculptor and painters converged around Weed too! Ten percent of the people that were gathered there were players that have been staying in Morata, and Weed did not have enough room to step around.
Players gathered around him just like when they would welcome back a hero.
"Weed, we want to hear your thoughts on what happened in Jigolath!"
"Tells us the story about the feud with the Hermes Guild!”
Weed's popularity far exceed that of a cult leader, even though they watched it in a broadcast they all wanted to hear directly from the source.
"Everyone is waiting for me to speak."
Weed thought for a quick second and used his Lion's Roar.
"I went! I fought! I earned!"
It was like the time when the Embinyu Church was beaten and an artificial form of alliance was created!
Among Morata players, Weed’s phrases were very famous.
Players shouted their congrats, as their hype died a little, he shouted with the Lion's Roar once again.
"I went! I fought! I earned so much money!
“Woooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!“
It was the peak of the frenzy and jubilation.
There were thousands of players congratulating his victory and the success of his quest success.
They wanted to become friendly with Weed. It was because they wanted to join in on his exciting adventures.
Weed withdrew himself into the lord’s residential office and begun his most important tasks.
Counting money!
“If I add up the money made from Jigolaths, trade with the Mermaids and the selling of the quest I have 249,720 gold, 35 silver and 14 copper.”
Even though his income was savory, it was poor in the comparison with the the effort he had to make when he went around as a necromancer for a few months in Jigolaths. It was difficult because he was hunting and mining to obtain minerals to make equipments to sell.
He wouldn't sell the Moon rocks and Malachite that he possessed because using valuable materials increases the quality of the sculptures and sculpting experience so while the minerals were processed, It was an excellent choice to stock up on medicine that he had used.
In Weed’s case using his sculpting skill he can make something simple and etch intricate details on it to make it worth more.
Perhaps a bowl or a ceramic would suffice, because of his high handicraft skill there would be some decent ones that came out.
If there was any Moon rock material leftover, he could make accessories to sell, making a savory profit margin.
"I wonder how much Morata has changed. Regional Status Window!"
Triling!
