When Weed spoke of his needs, they offered it to him immediately. It was because they had hope that maybe, Weed would teach them the secret sword skill. Of course, due to Weed’s greed he wanted to keep Zahab’s secret sword skill to himself.
The sculptures he made, that allowed the secret sword skill to be grasped, were a treasure that he was only going to allow the Geomchis to know of. No matter who else asked, he could not expose the secret sword skill to anyone. But the possibility of someone else appearing, knowing the Radiant Sword was high as Zahab was out in the world. When that time came, he could bargain a good deal with the Dark Gamers.
In the case of Seo Yoon, she said she had something to do in Rosenheim Kingdom and decided to go with Weed. It was time for Wy-Three to lift his heavy buttocks to fly, so he was tottering unsteadily as he got into position.
“Wy-Three.”
“Gyaruk?”
“I am going to go with you.”
“Gagagak!”
Wy-Three prostrated while crying. And so Weed, Seo Yoon and Wy-Three flew toward Rosenheim Kingdom.
“Wy-Three, should I make you a set of clothes?“
The third Wyvern, Wy-Three’s beak stretched to the breaking point as he nodded his head.
‘The master puts me under a lot of hardship but I am the one he takes care of the most.’
“I will make it out of thick fabric as the weather is cold.”
“Master, I am grateful that you even considered making me cloth.”
“I found your back cold and hard while riding on it for a long time. At least it should have a cosy blanket on top. Ah, I should make pillows as well.”
“.....”
Wy-Three was getting concerned that if there was sufficient space on his back, he would be forced to fly while carrying tables and chairs!
While flying to Rosenheim Kingdom, Weed made moonlight sculptures. Seo Yoon’s hair fluttered in the wind while she watched him work. There were moments when men who were absorbed in their work were attractive.
But Seo Yoon was as beautiful as a goddess even when she was absentminded. She was sitting there with the stars and the moon shining high in the sky as her background. Her hair fluttering in the wind. Whenever Weed used the moonlight sculpting skill, it even added unnecessary light effects. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it transformed her already beautiful face into a precious treasure!
“As I explore the breadth and depth of sculpting I feel as if it has endless potential.”
While Weed used his sculpting knife, he was deeply moved by the originality of Zahab’s sculptures.
“The world where sculptures can be sold expensively is coming.”
For sculptors it was a future where they truly could not hope for more. If they could eat and live on sculptures, if they could hang all their hopes and dreams on their path as sculptors, it would be true happiness.
_________________________________
Rosenheim Kingdom!
Compared to the past when Weed started, there were many changes. High-end stores were established and the general attire of the beginners was of high quality.
“Rosenheim Kingdom has grown quite big.”
Weed and Seo Yoon, riding on the Wyvern, landed on the mountain some distance away and walked the rest of the distance to the kingdom’s capital, Serabourg Castle.
There were even some merchants and adventurers passing by that could recognize Weed.
“I am back in my true hometown. ”
The time he sold off a considerable amount of sheep sculptures and the equally enormous number of victims who bought his pieces at exorbitant prices. And the players who suffered carrying heavy boulders for the sake of building the pyramid! If he looked back and recalled the good memories, they were a very welcoming people.
Weed and Seo Yoon hurried their pace.
“There is so much I have to do in the city.”
The item drops from Grapass filled four bags to the brim. He had to dispose of the needless items and meet up with the old handmaiden.
“Finally, I get to sing that song.”
Seo Yoon had a somewhat worried look on her face. The reason she had such a look was that she had heard Weed practising that song. Compared to Zahab’s euphonious, dulcet voice Weed’s talent was a thousand light years away! It was an odd sound like a rooster crowing timidly in the morning.
‘Will it be alright? I hope nothing bad happens.’
Seo Yoon worriedly followed after him.
Weed had just entered the castle gate of Serabourg and was about to go to the Square when the knights and soldiers guarding Rosenheim Kingdom’s gates came and surrounded him. The players nearby started pointing fingers and became rowdy.
“Ara, what’s happening with that guy?”
“Did he commit some crime and is trying to come back into the city?”
“Alright. There’s finally something to see. He’s going to be beaten to death by the soldiers.”
“Looking at his equipment, he's not a complete novice but could he stand up to the soldiers?”
“So what. Then he would become a public enemy of the Rosenheim Kingdom and they will dispatch the army to kill him.”
Weed felt the situation was completely unfair.
“What crime did I commit...”
He could only recall a miniscule evil he committed recently.
‘There is only the small amount of time I played as Undead, conspired with pirates and fought Hermes guild’s Polon with the Undead Legion but...’
They were actions that reduced reputation. But if he wanted to work and eat, this much was necessary!
The knights and soldiers did not draw their weapon and threaten Weed, rather they raised their hands to their chests and greeted him respectfully.
“Welcome travelers.”
The players who were expecting an enjoyable spectacle were perplexed by the soldiers actions.
“Huk.”
“I have been doing business here for over 2 years and it’s the first time seeing the soldiers acting like that. Even the knights are bowing their heads!”
“Who is that person?”
“Do you think rankers from the central continent came here to play? But seeing the response from the soldiers their fame must be...”
The gazes of people coming and going from the castle gates were on Weed and Seo Yoon. Weed tried to ignore them and enter but at that moment the knight spoke.
“His majesty wanted to welcome the travelers and directed me to lead them to the castle.”
The effect of fame and achievements! He could meet any kings in the Versailles continent, but seeing as Rosenheim Kingdom was the region Weed started in, the treatment he received was vastly different. If he stayed behind and remained active in Serabourg Castle, it was possible that Rosenheim Kingdom would experience tremendous development.
“There is work I have to do to keep the peace on the continent. Meeting his majesty, who rules over Rosenheim Kingdom is a great honor even for me. But there is an urgent matter I have to attend to so I must pay my respects later.”
He had dragged on the quest from the old handmaiden for so long that he wanted to do resolve it as quickly as possible. He could always meet the king of Rosenheim Kingdom later.
“Well if it's like that then there is nothing we can do. His majesty will be waiting so please attend his audience.”
“I shall do so.”
Weed and Seo Yoon under the gaze of many players entered Serabourg Castle.
_____________________________
“I am buying and selling items. I do procurement or resale.”
“I can make any equipment you need.”
“Before you go to hunt please check your necessities. I sell them here.”
Weed decided to head to the Square and take care of his bags. An unusually obese man with a parked carriage was waiting there.
“Are you perhaps Weed-nim?”
“Yes, you are right.”
It was the merchant waiting there after being contacted by Mapan. He was ‘Gimme The Money’ an up and coming trader in Rosenheim Kingdom known for his refusals.
“Did you bring the items?”
“Money first.”
“Here. I am being uselessly cautious but these definitely are the goods?”
“Check for yourself.”
If people who did not know the situation listened in on Weed and Gimme The Money, they might have mistaken it for illicit dealing.
“These are definitely the goods. The quantity is without a doubt correct. I receive them in good faith.”
“It was a good deal. If we have a chance then next time as well...”
“Whenever you have the goods, you can search for Gimme The Money anytime in Serabourg Castle.”
The scene was giving off a bad influence like the crime movies shown on cable.
For Weed, the faster the transaction the better so he received the money bag and turned around with no regret. The leather pouch didn’t look like anything special but inside was 168 thousand gold! As these items were from hunting in Grapass, he received quite a sum. It was also thanks to the japtem Seo Yoon collected as he sold them for quite a good price. It was good practise to not only collect japtem but also to sell them for the right value.
