-For two days, a temporary tax is applied.
Items have been changed to a rate from 5 to 7% in the stores.
It was the festival season. There was a lot of stuff to buy and eat so there was a lot of consumption. He raised the tax moderately to cover the cost of his investments.
“I can earn a lot with this atmosphere.”
The reason was the Grass Porridge Cult buying things.
In the real world, nothing was free!

Chapter 9 : Sculptural History
The Central Continent’s Lords did not like Weed.
“Just because he was a little famous in the Continent of Magic they say that we shouldn’t carelessly fight him in Royal Road.”
“Weed is the God of War? A little territory like his would be turned into ashes if it was in the Central Continent.”
“Just because he finished a couple of quests that people thought were impossible.”
Each of the Lords of the Central Continent had the same mindset from their long bloody history. They were the prominent users back in the early days of Royal Road and they had emerged
victorious from several user based wars with various achievements. Each of the lords had an elite squad of at least 80 thousand units. Each of the territories that they owned were highly active with users.
“Morata is nothing.”
Resentment and jealousy for Weed!
The war enthusiasts were quite annoyed with the reputation that the user Weed had gained from his quests. They also felt nervous over the number of beginners that were in Morata.
“Sculptures that are alive and can move…so is creating a sculpture similar to summoning a monster? To think that were was such a secret in the sculpting skill.”
“With the level of growth that Morata is receiving, it might not be too far fetched that the northern lands will extend all the way down to the central continent!”
The Lords were in a rage. However, Bard Ray of the Hermes Guild simply waited for the result of the war. He deliberately did not watch the television. He went hunting as usual while waiting for news of Weed’s demise. The Information Officer that was watching the Northern war reported the news. Even upon hearing the bad news that Morata won, there was no change in Bard Ray’s expression.
“So It was Weed’s victory.”
“Yes, Morata was not damaged much either. The Northern Alliance was incompetent in many ways and they were far from united.”
“But Morata’s power was greater?”
Bard Ray did not understand what was going on. A few days ago, the stations had analyzed the reports on the power on both sides of the war. From what had been heard, the Northern Alliance should have had enough to completely overwhelm Morata.
“I’m guessing it is because of Weed’s outstanding performance.”
“Yes. That could be true. There are no words to describe his capabilities.”
“…”
“Most of Morata participated in the war and with the show of power and tactics as well as the appearance of the Kallamore Knights will let them attract more people. The internet message boards are overflowing.”
Bard Ray had a calm expression. To the Hermes Guild, there were only minor guilds in the North. Their total numbers could not begin to shake the top powers in the Kingdom of Haven. There was no change in his expression. But deep down it was not.
‘Weed led the war and forced the Northern Alliance to surrender…!’
That was more than enough to ruin Bard Ray’s mood.
“Selling Rotten Dagger. It cuts well and its best for hunting monsters.”
“Selling Crooked Blade. It’s a really good strong sword for beginners. I’ll sell it for cheap.”
“Selling Leather Armor. The chest area is a bit torn apart but other than that everything is fine.”
Transactions between beginners were only in the numbers of coppers up to a maximum of 5 gold! Wyvern Square, Bingryong Square, Light Square and the Rover Square were all crowded with travelers. The four squares that he had created were now booming when it was once empty. However Morata had increased the number of beginners on a large scale because of the war.
After the Royal Road’s broadcast, it had opened its doors to a large number of beginners.
