Clearly, Easton was abandoned.
“Take care magician, and catch up with us.”
Flying through the air with magic, the party rose to the top of the rocky mountains. In addition to the Tower of Light, there was another completed large sculpture on the rocky mountains.
Only Heinz, the member of the party who was a priest of Lu, was deeply impressed by it.
“This is the statue of Lu…”
The impact of the sculpture! Because of its effects on faith and divine magic on Heinz, hunting in Morata would become much more efficient. The priests of Freya had already enjoyed this result.
The Blessings of the statue of Lu increased the effects of healing and made magic easier to cast. Many even had pipe dreams of meeting the goddess Freya. So, many male priests gathered there. There was also an abundance of guilds. Morata had lead to many guild meetings and their alliances.
“With this, the priests of Lu will be coming to Morata a lot.”
‘With the coming and going of many priests and paladins, a proper temple will be built soon.’
“Where is Weed?”
Hon scanned the area near the Tower of Light. Finding a specific user was difficult since there were too many tourists there, under the dusky night of Morata. Billeo pointed a finger at one point.
“What is that thing over there?”
What the torches were revealing was something unusual. People were standing in line, waiting to buy something to eat.
“Let’s go see.”
Hon, Billeo, and others who were flying in the sky, landed near that place. An enormous banner that was hung in a prominent place was showing the food menu.
“Look at that.”
“Huh?”
Dragon soup: 120 gold.
King Hydra Noodles: 100 gold
Skeleton bone hangover soup (soup to chase a hangover): 13 gold
Dragon meat roasted with seasonings (1 portion 150 grams): 380 gold
King Hydra meat roasted with seasonings (1 portion 100 grams): 80 gold
Place of Origin: River of Lamentation banks. Only fresh meat served.
“Urg!”
The content and the charge fees threw the party into shock.
“Come on, come on! Cheap, cheap! Gentlemen, meat like this you have never seen! Dragon meat!
Spicy soup made from Dragon meat.”
The chef’s invitation speech was heard throughout the mountain.
“This is too expensive.”
“But when else can we get to eat such meat?”
“That’s right, to not eat soup made from a dragon would be a disgrace, wouldn’t it?”
The customers who were standing in line were taking the food.
“Shouldn’t this be where Weed is?”
Hon shook his head from side to side, but unfortunately, that guess was true. Then, Billeo asked the customers who waited in line and they told them the truth.
“The chef is Weed.”
“Jeonshin… that Weed?”
“I don’t know, but it is Weed, the Lord of Morata.”
“Are you sure?”
“Many people know about Weed.”
To make the colossal statue of the goddess Freya, the locals had been mobilized for labor. The quest Weed offered was a very good one, and because of it, he knew what Weed’s face looked like.
“What does food have to do with making a sculpture?”
“Completing Lu’s statue has gathered a lot of tourists. Morata’s residents and users also came here to see Weed. Weren’t you surprised by the great number of users?”
Hon nodded in agreement. From what he knew, there weren’t many crowds of people unless it was a big city like the capital of a kingdom. For such a crowd of people to gather in the Northern part of Morata was truly amazing.
“So, in a sense, to treat the people who are gathered here today, he is selling food.”
“Cooking… who would buy something so expensive to eat?”
“Weed is trying to sell it cheap, but there’s only so much he can do. Do not be surprised. They say that if you eat 1kg of dragon meat, your vitality increases by 20, your maximum health by
120, and your strength by 7.”
Hon’s eyes glared at him with an unbelievable look in them.
“You really mean that? Is such a thing possible with cooking?”
“The effects have already been confirmed by many people.”
“That much gold to get some King Hydra or dragon meat is not expensive.”
Hon and Garrick were able to understand the prices. Besides being an opportunity to eat rare cooking, anything that could raise up stats permanently was a benefit.
“Why not give it a try once?”
“I want to try eating dragon meat. If I don’t eat it and let this opportunity of raising stats pass, I’ll regret it for the rest of my days.”
Hon, Garrick, Billeo, and others stood in the line. The greed for stats for any profession was intense. Although wisdom and intelligence were more important to magicians, given the opportunity to improve strength and agility, they would not hesitate to take it. When nurturing one’s body, there is no division in profession, gender, or age. The number of customers buying that food to eat was gradually increasing.
