The Sculptor of Royal Road!
The profession of a Sculptor differs from a typical artisan profession.
Blacksmith melt ores such as iron in the hearth, and then uses molten metal to create weapons and armors.
Chefs knew recipes to some extent, but if their cooking skills were polished, they can roughly figure out what kind of dishes to cook based on the ingredients.
With Tailoring, you only need to know the basics such as cutting and stitching clothes, so it is not difficult.
The people from the Arts Profession had to work firsthand.
Only if you produced Great Works or Masterpieces, will you obtain increase in skills, which is impractical. This is the desecration of art.
A Sculptor must first draw a picture, and then carve it out to complete the artwork.
When Weed first started out, during his break times from his battles, he would spend most of it carving. He would always crave out dozens of basic artwork a day, while learning the basic fundamentals of sculpting.
Near Serabourg Castle, he carved popular sculptures such as Rabbits and Foxes, and sold them to the public, but soon after, he started carving more diverse monsters from different kinds of wood to gain more experience.
Therefore it was rare for someone to choose Sculptor as their profession unless they’ve gone totally insane.
*Clang Clang*
Grandmother's body, including her face was almost complete. But both her hand parts was deliberately connected to the other rock.
Followed by the creation of his sister’s statue.
'From here on, there shouldn't be any mistakes.'
After his Grandmother's statue, Weed began working on his younger sister's statue.
Rather than a photo, in his mind, he recalled an image of a perfect family!
When he got hungry, he ate Yeti's dried meat because did didn't want to take time to eat a proper meal, just to finish his work.
When creating a sculpture, it was important to retain one's sensibility.
Weed concentrated all his efforts to create the statue of the family, and nothing else.
The statue of the family were holding hands firmly. His Grandmother's statue, she was wearing a fine dress. Thanks to his sewing skills, it wasn't hard for him to create clothing for the statue he had made.
Once he finished sculpting the statue of his Grandmother and his siter, it exudes a subtle radiance.
An Advance Effect of Sculpting!
All statues with an Advance Sculpting Effect all had different distinctive radiance depending on the climate of the statues’ surroundings, and the type of materials that was used.
Weed got another piece of rock and placed it on the other side of his Grandmother. He has to now create a statue of himself.
Gracious, fine elderly Grandmother and beautiful sister!
And a statue of Weed, himself!
Creating a statue of himself was something he didn't like.
'My eyes are originally not this small.'
Weed's statue had significantly large eyes.
'In fact, the nose should be a little straighter, and the forehead, shouldn't it be slightly wider on this side? Yeah, that's right. And it should be taller!'
Weed had a height of an average Korean person, and had a rather ordinary look. However, self satisfaction was carved into the statue.
The overall composition of his statue's image was a Hottie. Almost at the level of Celebrity hotties!
“Yeah. That’s me alright! The equally freakish me. Boohoohoo.”
Weed laughed with delight as he completed his statue.
*Ttiring!*
Right when the sculpture was finished, a message popped up in front of Weed.
Please set a name for the finished sculpture.
A precaution was given. Last time when he made a sculpture of Seoyoon, there was also a message that asked for a name.
When a sculpture is made and the creator is asked to give it a name, it was one of the greatest honors for a sculptor. Weed paused for a moment and said.
“Harmonious Family.”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Weed burst into joyous laughter. Laughing at the summit of the Horom Mountains.
“Grand Masterpiece!”
Although he has yet to master Moonlight Sculpting, he could still be able to produce some great works. He felt really good after completing the statue of his family.
It would only caused troubles if he gave life to all three of the statues.
When the 3 statues are given life, they would be hand in hand, and their efficiency level will decrease.
He has already decided not to give life to the statues. He will only give life to statues when they serve him purpose. He had only created this statue to commemorate the occasion.
'I’ve seen the sunset, sunrise, and many rain clouds passing by the mountains.'

Hwaryeong logged in earlier than usual and waited for the rest of the party. She had longed to see the view from the summit of the Horom Mountain.
“How will I get back? It’ll also be hard to get back down.”
Hwaryeong climbed the mountain alone.
Soon, she was not far away from the place where the Avalanche occurred. Because she had experience of the climb, it was difficult to climb back up.
Hwaryeong reached the summit and found a statue that was not previously there.
“It’s beautiful!”
Hwaryeong couldn’t stop admiring it sincerely.
The statue stood still and quiet on the summit of Horom Mountains.
It seemed like warmth was wrapped its surroundings in the world's highest summit. To add to the mystery, there was a light surrounding it. It was no doubt that the light came from the Advanced Sculpting Effect.
The statues made from ordinary rocks showed off their beauty like gems.
“It’s awesome.”
Hwaryeong guessed that the person who created the sculptures was Weed.
"This is a genuine statue."
Besides the Pyramid and the statue of the Lion Monster, this was the one of the first statue she had seen made by Weed.
“What a marvelous sculpture.”
Hwaryeong slowly viewed the sculptures.
The grandma and younger sister statue was overflowing with liveliness.
“The guy is so handsome.”
Hwaryeong’s eyes shone as she saw the statue of the tall man.
Because she sees Celebrities considerably often, she appraised its appearance to be fairly passable. But of course, when she looked at the statue, she would imagine it to be Weed.
