After hopping around like a rabbit, chasing a deer was much more invigorating. Also the deer was a lot more elegant.
However, even here there were pitfalls. It suddenly dawned on Weed:"Deer run on four legs."But it was too late to change to a different animal; he got onto all fours and tried hard to keep up with the deer.
Mapan and Hwaryeong, after some transactions, headed to the town of Rega.
"Everything went smoothly all thanks to you, Hwaryeong."
"No, it’s because of your skill as a merchant Mapan."
Mapan and Hwaryeong, sitting on a cart, were engaged in a friendly conversation. Trading consisted of buying and selling, between which took a long and boring journey. As a result, merchants made sure to make friends with the NPCs when they visited a town. So, if you weren’t devoted, trading would be very boring.
As a merchant, Mapan could reduce the weight of traded goods, and increase the moving speed of vehicles. However, even with these buffs, journeys were long and boring.
Mapan and Hwaryeong generally talked to pass the time. This time, they began to talk about Weed.
"Oh, I wish I was there when Weed fought and defeated the Vampire Lord Tori with the help of the Order of Freya's Paladins."
"Yeah, not everyone can complete a B level quest. He even built an ice dragon in the northern continent."
Hwaryeong eyes sparkled.
She loved fairy tales and legends, and all of the stories about Weed completely delighted her. She was really impressed when she heard that Weed and AlveronAlveron - a Pope Candidate of the Order of Freya - set out to save the cursed paladins!
When they arrived in the ruins of the abandoned village, Weed and Alveron were weakened by the bitter cold and surrounded by monsters of overwhelming strength. Still, they persevered and gradually built up their strength.
While the quest was still in progress, Weed sculpted a gigantic ice dragon.When all of the cursed paladins outside of the castle were freed, Weed and his force stormed the Black Castle.There they defeated hordes of vampires, freed the innocent villagers and defeated the final boss Tori.
Inside Hwaryeong’s head, all of these events played out as one epic movie. She saw earnest heroes in pain, struggling against the cold, fighting monsters and even the forces of nature itself. Hwaryeong's impression of the recount of Weed's quest was that it was an incredible and dangerous adventure.Mapan shrugged his shoulder.
"People talk about this now, but believe me. At first glance I saw that he was a very special person. When he came down from the sky…"
As they shared small talk they neared the city gates, but then they encountered something odd. They found a large crowd watching something. It was unusual for so many people to be gathered on the plains because the city gates were still a couple of hours away.
Mapan and Hwaryeong looked at each other. After a long and tedious journey, they were very interested to know what was happening there.
"Shall we?" asked Hwaryeong.
"Yes. It is necessary to look."
Mapan stopped his cart, and they joined the crowd. Then they saw something that shocked them to the core.
Running across the field was a fox. Its lush, long tail swaying gently in deft movements. But they were not shocked by the tail. An unknown player was following the fox on all fours. When the fox jumped, so did the player.
When the fox tumbled, so did the player. Sometimes there was a difference in movement that was so small, if it wasn’t for the player, they wouldn’t have noticed.
"Wow, who is this? This is kind of weird."
Mapan began questioning a number of people standing around. They were not close enough to see the face of the player from where they were standing.
A little girl standing nearby started giggling:"That man? I don’t know who he is, but I saw him imitate a bunny, a deer, a goblin, and now a fox. And with each imitation, he gets better and better.""There are really strange people these days ..."
And at that moment, the fox turned back. As he looked back Mapan and Hwaryeong saw the player’s face.
"Oh!"
"Wow!"
It was Weed! Weed was imitating a fox.
Mapan and Hwaryeong gave each other a look, while everyone else watched excitedly, and pondered the situation.
Both of their faith in Weed was boundless, but sometimes he did some embarrassing things. Without saying a word, they turned back toward the vehicle. Completely ignoring Weed.Rabbits, deer, goblins, and now foxes. Weed mastered their behaviors. Now he looked for his last creature.
"Damn, this job takes a lot of time!
