The sight of the statue being completed was broadcasted real-time on the Internet through the tourists. The golden idol of Lugh made by Weed!
It was completed with a majestic appearance and was even holding a huge bow and arrows. For a normal Sculptor, it would have been too daunting to make just the idol, but Weed had a history of making huge sculptures now. He had kept some spare materials on hand, even when making such a large sculpture, and had even sculpted Lu’s equipment.
Ding!

“A magnum opus or two should be enough.”
Sculpting growth became slower the more it grew, but the situation was more than enough to make him ambitious. However, since he had sculpted Goddess Freya and the Idol of Lugh, he couldn’t make other sculptures of Gods that didn’t align well.
“This is enough for a huge stone sculpture.”
An idol of Night, the Thief, or the Barbarian would took a long time to sculpt, and they didn’t fit Morata. If he sculpted an idol for Thieves that ended up making the public safety fall and increasing the number of Thieves, it would inevitably be a big problem. An idol of the Barbarian was also out since their robust physiques scared residents unless it was a place where individuals of the Barbarian race lived.
“It doesn’t matter. There’s lots of things to sculpt.”
Weed reversed his grip on the sculpting knife. Since many tourists were gathering to look at the Idol of Lugh, it was now time to cook before it got too late.

“Weed is the Lord of Morata!”
Among the players who enjoyed hunting and adventuring in Morata, a considerable number of the hunting parties had a great interest in Weed. They had come to the North from the Central of the Continent for stronger monsters and quests.
Tourists or beginners, who had just started, did not care much about the Wargod Weed. They knew Weed was a famous person, but they didn’t have much interest in him.
However, for warriors, Weed was a subject of respect or a rival they wanted to overcome.
“Let’s go see Weed.”
“Do you happen to know where Weed is?”
The news got out early, but they were late to return because they had gone out on an expedition in a hunting ground that was quite far away, even for the North. A fighting party that had just returned from the hunting ground asked around about Weed’s whereabouts in the village.
There was a Merchant who knew about Weed.
“Lord Weed?”
“Yes, that Weed.”
“Ah, so you came to sightsee. He is making a sculpture on the rocky mountain over there.”
“A sculpture?”
“Yes, it’s an extremely time consuming and tedious process, so try going over there the day after tomorrow if you can.”
At the Merchant’s words, the Warrior, Hon, tilted his head. “He’s making a sculpture?”
The Paladin, Billeo, replied in a slightly tense voice. “There is talk that his profession is a Sculptor.”
“I heard that the Lord of Morata was a Sculptor too. But him being a Sculptor is ridiculous. At least, the Weed we saw didn’t have such a personality.”
They had died quite a few times at the hands of Weed in the Continent of Magic. Of course, their levels in the Continent of Magic had been a little over the medium range, so they could at least keep up when fighting with their guild.
The sight of Weed, who had slaughtered enemies with unparalleled efficiency!
Hon spoke in disbelief. “To say he’s a Sculptor… unlike the rumors, maybe he’s not Wargod Weed?”
The Warrior, Garrick, stepped forward first. “We’ll know when we see him. Isn’t it useless for us to be talking here like this?”
A hunting party of 7, including Hon, Billeo, and Garrick, left for the rocky mountain.
It was a party that gathered the players at the peak of even Morata! Even the Cleric’s level was over 300, and his robes fluttered as he ran.
They had been in Morata for quite a while, so they knew easily the location of the rocky mountain where the sculptures were. Since the Tower of Light was there, even they always went there when they came to Morata.
“For the Lord of the village that we have been using as a base to be the Wargod Weed, it’s really above our imaginations.”
“More than that, for us to have hunted while looking at sculptures he made, should we be thankful or something?”
It was as confusing as being smashed by a blunt weapon from afar.
There were many tourists and beginner players on the road towards the rocky mountain. The beginner players were moving towards the mountain with laughter blossoming on their faces!
“Wow, this is really the best.”
“Man, it was a really, really good idea to start in Morata. It’s probably just us who can hunt while looking at sculptures such as these.”
