Holy knights from Freya order were built as sculptures and paintings were drawing on the ceiling.
Goddess Freya who has endlessly wide grove and granaries!
Men were sitting on their knee and making confessions to the Goddess.
With top-class paints, not being thrifty about it and painting fully, with hundreds of colors, they expressed scenery of grains, Goddess Freya’s dress and even men in a colorful, detailed manner.
Showing richness and beauty with confident.
Of course, Goddess Freya’s appearance was based on the statue of Goddess Weed built.
Painters also paid attention to the exterior of cathedral.
“Let’s paint the origin of Morata here.”
The origin of Morata. Painters from the Central Continent or who started out their career in here have only heard about it.
How Weed saved this village by defeating vampires with Alveron, the pope candidate of Freya order.
Defeating the Northern cold, Weed officially became the lord.
Freya statue of Goddess was sculpted, the population increased, the village expanded.
The history up till the building of the Grand Cathedral and Grand Library was drawn as a mural.
The library lacked in artistic beauty but it was built with huge and sturdy stones to be able to store enormous resources in it.
For now, the only books available for display are common history books sold in a general store or books of folktales of northern Versailles Continent.
But when it officially opens, it will be filled with scrolls or pieces of map from hunting monsters and books of adventurers’ stories.
If information of Northern part of the continent is gathered, more quests will be active and it will be much convenient to resolve requests. This made players in Morata to get thrilled for the completion of the library.
“I heard something weird thing from the flower lady before… Could it be a hint for a quest?”
“I gave up a quest due to lack of information. Maybe once the library is complete, I can try it again.”
Everyone had few quests that was difficulty and made them quit.
Quests only occured with special triggers or sometimes meaningless requests lead to linked quests. Therefore they can’t help getting excited for the completion of the library.
Players from the Central Continent liked it as well but players who started from Morata had their pride and self-esteem.
Morata lacked in many ways compared to other metropolises but the fun of achieving things one by one with their own hands cannot be explained in words!
The attachement of living in a shack, and the energetic square and streets.
“This is truly the best city.”
“No other city is exceptionally beautiful or developing so fast.”
“I’m gonna make sure my friends start in Morata.”
“I’m bringing everyone to Morata.”

Geomchis that decided to swim across to Morata!
“I think we just passed half point.”
“Whooaa, already!”
If they got in the ship, they would have arrived already but the fact that they are half-way from their destination made them so happy.
“It’s kinda exhausting swimming for such a long time.”
“It’s hard to swim exactly how I want to because of the strong waves, sahhyeong!”
These Geomchis must learn obvious things the hard way with their bodies.
If it’s rainy or windy, it was a harder fight for them!
But still, the distance they have come is fairly long.
Few days later, they could see a land.
“Did we arrived already?!”
“The tides in this area helped us a bit, eh?”
“Yep, it was much more convenient swimming for us.”
As they get close to north, they were able to swim faster thanks to tides even though the water got cold.
To say that they are near Morata, it seemed like they arrived way too early as the beach and trees were a bit unfamiliar.
“Sahyeong, let’s go get something to eat. Who cares if it’s not the continent? We can just swim again.”
They couldn’t worry when they were hungry.
Geomchis had a value of worrying only after filling their stomach.
They gathered around, ate some clams and fish on a bonfire.
“If Weed was here, he would have cooked us delicious foods.”
“Don’t forget alcohols.”
“One sip of Weed’s fruit liquor and you are done for!”
It was Malaska Island they were taking a brief rest on.
A swordsman staying in the island first smelled them and walked to the beach.
His name was Ash.
One of the nine sword masters in Versailles Continent.
Unlike the Sculpting Master, they were nine Sword Masters.
Three of them were very famous that their whereabouts were well known.
Croma the head of the knight order, Evirathan the paladin of Lu and Percia who left to search for the treasures of the kingdom as promised with the king.
To meet Croma, one needs to a great reputation, elegance, honor and loyalty.
Since it was easier to meet the requirements as a knight rather than as a swordsman, many met Croma and learned his swordsmanship.
His skills were an honorable promise. It enabled one to have triple the combat power briefly and contained unique horseback swordsmanship.
Evrirathan was easier to meet since he was one of the paladin of Lu.
The only downside was that because his skills were based on holy power, paladins from different orders could not learn his swordsmanship.
Percia was searching Navier Lake for the lost treasure, so anyone could meet him there.
His skills were unknown to normal players but it was on the bulletin board of Dark Gamer Union.
· Another Sword
- Sword formed from mana fly around and defend the player.
- Cannot control it directly and the size, durability, defence varies by the skill level.
- Low mana consumption.
- Effectively blocks arrows or targeted magic.
Dark Gamers who didn’t fear adventures and players of the highest-rank learned Percia’s swordsmanship.
Other than these three, no one knows about the other six.
If by any chance one finds them, they kept it to themselves as they had no reason to tell others about it.
But right now, these Geomchis encountered Ash a new Sword Master right in the middle of the ocean.
“You came here to learn swordsmanship?”
Ash spoke with low-pitched tone.
Just as expected from a Sword Master, he released a fierce aura of a beast.
“If you want my swordsmanship, you must be qualified for it.”
Clang!
Ash drew his sword, posed for a combat.
But these Geomchis eating roasted fish didn’t reply.
Nothing is more annoying than someone showing up and talking while they are eating something.
Their personalities became violent when someone bothers them during a meal time!
“Those who look for extreme of swordsmanship, shall see what the strength of a sword is through me, Ash!”
He was the sword master Ash. Anyone who wanted to master the sword desired to meet him.
He couldn’t possibly be someone to be treated so coldly but Geomchis just kept ripping off their fish.
“What on earth is that guy talking about?”
“I don’t know, I think he is challenging us?”
“Geez, why is he bothering us when we are eating? Ask him if he has salts for the fish.”
To be honest, this was a chance of a lifetime for them.
Because they were martial artists, they were able to learn any skills related to any weapons.
Sword, spear, axe, bow, dagger, you name it.
Attack skills depending on a weapon types had things in commons so it wasn’t necessarily good to learn as many skills as you can. As by focusing on using a single weapon the attack skill level and proficiency increased.
Of course for Geomchis it was swords!
As their weaponry skills reached advance level 6, the destructive power of their swords increased scarily.
They are able to decide the amount of mana used on skills freely.
They can increase the power of skills up to five times and if mana is low, they can perform skills with low amount of mana.
Also, they can run faster, jump higher or even form mana barriers with their swords.
If they showed it to other players or take a video and upload it in internet, they could get pretty famous but for these Geomchis, it wasn’t interesting.
Anyhow, it was truly a great event for them to encounter Sword Master Ash.
Geomchi17 spoke.
“Well, since it’s a challenge, I’ll accept it. Geomchis505, good luck.”
“Yes, sir!”
Geomchi505 tooth dropped his fish stick and stood up.
“I request a match. My name is Geomchi505.”
“Come, I will awaken you to the world of swords.”
Geomchi505 bent his knees a bit and posed defensively.
‘Guard first, then counter.’
Since it was a sword match, one needs to bring out one’s full potential even when not knowing enemy’s abilities.
While Geomchi505 was waiting for enemy’s attack, Ash’s body cloned one by one, ending up with thirty bodies.
As thirty Ashes lifted their swords and posed attack stances, Geomchi505’s tension rose even more.
