“While the Dwarves may be a race that can produce an amazing quality of weaponry, no matter how talented they are, their artistic talent is like that of a child’s. Since they’re short, even if they say they know how to sculpt, how can they? Hahaha!”
The Elves’ insulting remarks echoed throughout the forest.
“The Dwarves have still yet to learn about the mystery and beauty of nature.”
Although their words were very degrading, the Dwarven race would not protest.
For Dwarves to regain their pride, one would need to find traces of Dwarven Sculptor Kendellev’s work.
Difficulty: Dwarven Sculptor Race Quest.
Reward: Honour among the Dwarves
Quest Limitations: Only available to Dwarven sculptors.
If the quest should fail, Dwarves will receive the same hostile treatment from Humans as that of Elves.
Bystanding Dwarves who were listening to the story tried to discouraged him.
“The Instructor have also tried to give me this quest before.”
“Don’t accept this. This is an inferior quest that they give to any Dwarf who thinks of picking up Sculpting. If you accept it for now, it’s hard to forfeit it later, and it’s an impossible to clear quest. I swear.”
“I accepted this quest, but no one knew anything about Kendellev. It’s a quest that I gave up on after suffering for two weeks trying to complete it. I suffered a lot to recover from the loss of fame and intimacy.”
The Dwarves were trying to stop a Dwarf they had never seen before, and kept encouraging him to refuse the quest. However, there were also extremely curious.
‘But this time, the explanation and the description of the quest is a little different…’
To be honest, it varied greatly.
But because he and many others were curious about Kendellev, they were forced to accept the quest and investigate him.
It was a racial quest; they accepted it because they thought there would be additional bonuses after succeeding, but there were many Dwarves who regretted accepting it.
However, unlike before, he gave Weed more details and kindly explained. They carefully observed how his fame and intimacy as well as the difference in his sculpting skill changed the dialogue of the Instructor.
And then Weed said.
“I believe it is a fact that we Dwarves, once had a great sculptor among us. I will definitely look for evidence to snub it in the Elves arrogant noses.”
- You have accepted the quest.
“Thank you. I’m hoping you’ll find it.”
As a means to show gratitude, the Instructor presented a carving of an Elf.
“Oh! He already accepted the quest.”
“Even though I begged him not to that much..-nim, please abandon it before it’s too late.”
The Dwarves who were beside him grew impatient.
To be honest, they were anxious.
Even if one considered the failure of the quest they accepted, it had been acknowledged as an insurmountable quest. However, since Weed accepted the quest, the Dwarves had an uneasy feeling that he would succeed.
“Instructor, I also believe in the tales of the Sculptor, Kendellev. I also want to search for his tracks.”
“I will as well…”
“Didn’t you guys already fail earlier? However, it would be good if many Dwarves would participate in this event.”
The vigilant Dwarves left together after receiving the quest from the Instructor because they all suspected that they would be left behind. Weed, making the most of this opportunity, left the Sculptor’s Guild.
***
The Dwarven Village, Iron Hand was built along the rugged mountain peaks.
Blacksmith stores and houses were built on an uneven surfaces, and the village square was made in the form of staircases. There were very few flat terrains to be found, and therefore they were very costly.
There is no place like the village square for people to sell their unwanted goods and recruit teammates.
Weed went to the corner of the square and started sculpting.
Sa-gak-ssa-gak
“I heard that Dwarf has superior sculpting skills, is that true?”
“It remains to be seen. Anyone who accepted and completed Kedellev’s quest would have bragged about it.”
“We’ll, have to wait and see.”
The Dwarves were closely watching Weed. The users who accepted Kendellev’s quest were filled with regret.
Weed was determined to solve the issue with this quest.
Weed was sculpting, showing no intention of relocating.
His marvelous skill allowed him to carve a circular block of wood by spinning it, as if it were an apple!
Even after becoming a Dwarf, the unknown beings whispered in his ear.
