– Intelligence and Wisdom have both increased by 5 from reading advanced information about the Matallost faith.
– You have acquired information about the Resurrection Church.
Weed found something else from the desk. It was the robe worn by Resurrection Church Priests.
Matallost Church. Since currently they were more often being called the Resurrection Church, it didn’t matter if you spoke carelessly about them.
“Count Savoid must’ve been a Priest of the Resurrection Church.”
Weed guessed judging from how Count Savoid had possession of the Statue of Death, the symbol of the Resurrection Church.
“Huuh, look here a bit!”
Just then, Smith discovered a wide room.
A magical circle was drawn inside the room, and in the middle, on top of an object looking like a tombstone, was a bowl where something could be placed inside.
An image of the Statue of Death was drawn into the bowl.
“Maybe this is where it should be placed in?”
Weed took out the sculpture from his bosom.
The Statue of Death he’d acquired at the end of his duel with Death Hand in the Dwarf’s underground Kingdom, Kuruso!
The second coming of the Matallost faith and the reconstruction of the Niflheim Empire.
He didn’t know what kind of effect it would have on the Versailles Continent, but when he recalled the contents of that quest, there was no reason for it to end here.
Weed placed the sculpture in the bowl. Then, as if it were given life, the scythe-holding malevolence flashed open its eyes.
Ruuuuummmble!
The mansion shook, as if there were an earthquake.
A damp fog filled the basement, and a black vortex formed above the altar. A gate to another place had opened.
Smith staggered backwards in surprise.
The black gate.
Not only had he never seen a gate of this color anywhere, but the scythe-holding malevolence figure was glaring at him. An incomparably terrifying look.
However, Weed was not afraid.
There was nothing as terrifying as an empty account balance. It was so scary he had nightmares of negative interest even in his dreams!
– A gate to the River of Lamentation has opened.
Access is impossible for general users.
The quest will proceed in the River of Lamentation.
The success or failure of this quest will affect the Resurrection Army accordingly.
The message window popped up to all the users in the Versailles Continent.
Weed swiftly approached the gate, and the black vortex swirled as if it were going to eat him up. However, Smith hurriedly shook his hands.
“Hey.”
“What?”
“In order to solve my request, won’t I also have to follow?”
“Of course.”
Weed desperately wanted to leave Smith behind, but he had to take him.
“I have a condition. If I go in there, you have to make it so I can drink five bottles of liquor every day.”
“…”
“If I don’t drink, I can’t fall asleep, you see.”
Weed nodded his head and agreed.
“Alright.”
He couldn’t look after Smith all the time. It would be better to put him to sleep even if it was by drinking liquor.
“Also, recruit a mercenary.”
“What?”
“You’re a feeble Sculptor, aren’t you?”
If Weed was feeble, then the majority of Warriors or Swordsmen would be crawling around on the ground for lack of strength.
Smith continued, “I don’t feel safe with just you. And we don’t even know where we’ll arrive if we go through that gate, so wouldn’t it be better to bring one mercenary?”
Ding!
– It has become possible to recruit one mercenary to progress the quest together.
Hiring a mercenary in a Sculptor-only quest!
This meant there was going to be an actual battle.
‘Even if it’s low, it is an A-rank difficulty quest…’
If he considered the chain quests that would occur as Niflheim Empire’s reconstruction or the Matallost faith’s second coming, the actual difficulty could be much higher.
It was to the point where it wasn’t the end of the chain quest that was a burden.
He had to find someone to do the quest with whom he could trust to some degree.
Weed immediately sent a whisper.
-Pale-nim.
– Yes.
Pale responded promptly.
– I’m doing a quest, but I need one mercenary.
– Really? Where are you?
– Hagen Village of Sur Kingdom.
– What to do? It’ll take a minimum of twenty days to go from the North all the way to there.
– Might there be someone else who’s in the Central Continent?
– Mapan-nim left towards Rosenheim Kingdom to trade, the others are all gathered here.
Mapan’s fighting strength was too lacking to bring him as a mercenary, so he was ruled out from the start even though he was a little closeby.
– Right now we’re also doing a quest called “The Secret of Manufacturing Ancient Breastplate.”
– Seems difficult. I understand.
