After bidding farewell to Ghandilva, Weed and his comrades began transporting the booty leaving Baran Village.
In the middle of the road Becker and Hosram approached them while carrying their respective subordinates, "It's nice to see you again, Commander." Becker greeted Weed kindly.
"Hi Becker, Hosram. Where are the others?" Weed returned his smile no less friendly.
"They're busy chasing the fleeing monsters." This time it was Hosram who answered.
Weed was bearded, "What about you guys?"
"Captain Darius ordered all Rosenheim invaders to stay here, guarding the villagers."
Weed suspected that Darius had assigned Rosenheim's invanter to keep the village safe, so he could get all the fame for himself.
Only Rosenheim's invanter is left behind in the task of chasing the remains of monsters under the pretext of securing the village.
"Ohh, well Horam, Becker see you next day."
They split up at a crossroads.
...* * *...
After a long walk, Weed took his companion to a secluded place while tightly grasping the seeds, the quest reward of Baran Village.
"By the way, Weed, about the reward we got after saving the villagers of Baran Village, you actually know what the seeds are?"
Realized by Surka's question, Weed opened his palm, then looked at the little seed inside, "Eum, guys, I have a strange book. It's a story in it."
Heaven City!
Afterwards Weed told him about the strange book he got from Volk. The usually calm Pale was very surprised by this fact. "So this and this." He pointed at the small seed in Weed's hand and the strange book in the other hand.
"Yes, we're like mind." Weed nodded small.
Every player on an adventure on the Versailles continent dreams of exploring a mysterious region, becoming the first inventor, exploiting a hidden dungeon to discover the secrets behind it. And then make an unforgettable legend.
It would be very lucky if you could find a new horizon that has many advantages in addition to high fame, increase level and others.
"Heaven City? Are you serious about that place? All I ever heard was about the Underground City." Pale looked at Weed in disbelief.
“Underground City?” Weed had just heard of this town.
"Yes, the city is full of mysteries, he said there is a special palace created by the dwarves, located almost in the bowels of the earth, even if it is only a prediction, no one knows exactly where it is." Pale was no wonder Weed didn't know it yet, because this news was indeed very secret, only a handful of people had just found out.
"Then will the new players who choose the dwarf profession be able to reach the Underground City?"
"Not really. Rumor had it that not just any dwarf was allowed into the city. After all, only a handful of people knew the existence of that place. But if you can get to that place, great luck will take your side, you will gain expert-level blacksmith skills plus handicraft skills."
"Dwarf is." Weed's head was a little dizzy because he had chosen the path as a scluptor, after getting enlightenment from his partner his heart became indecisive.
Especially human players, when learning handicraft skills, must choose the main profession related to the skill. Like a scluptor who can automatically learn handicraft skills starting from the basic scope mastery stage.
In Weed's case, he had gained a handicraft skill even before he chose the scluptor profession, thanks to the completion of the chain quest about Zahab's successor. But not everyone is as lucky as him. Even the comparison is only 1 in a million people on the face of this earth.
Special professions chefs and blacksmiths must at least increase their skills to the intermediate level in order to learn handicraft skills. As for the tailor profession, it can already learn it when the basic level 8 skill.
Regardless of the craftsman profession, even if one had reached the intermediate level skill level, he would not be able to obtain any craft skills. So if you want to have a quick handicraft skill, then the hiring skill is the main recommendation.
But specifically for the dwarf profession, it was very different from other craftsman professions. They were immediately gifted with handicraft skills from the beginning of entering the dwarf profession. Coupled with a very high vitality and strength, they even have handicraft skills that are no less high.
Instantly the danger warning buzzed in Weed's brain. Indirectly he felt that his greatest rival had arrived, "I cannot lower my vigilance on that race. I'd better remember their shortcomings first.'
Weed thought hard to find the weakness of his new enemy, 'Dwarves are short-bodied, do not have magic, can not ride horses, let alone have expertise in fighting. That's a little advantage to me.'
"If given the chance, I want to go there." No, it was not a dream but Weed promised himself that he would visit the Underground City someday.
Pale looked at him concernedly, "It will be difficult, Weed. I heard that race hates humans so much. And only a well-received craftsman was there. Unless you can win their hearts, even before entering the city, you will be rejected outright."
'Master scluptor like Zahab and Emperor Geihar could have visited the Underground City. My hunch says there's something related to the mastery sclupture mystery there. I really should visit.' Weed's eyes shone after he thought this far.
Despite that intuition, Weed took out an unknown seed from Ghandilva. "Alright, then let's identify. If I'm wrong, then we've been wasting our time."
"I'm pretty sure you won't be wrong!"
"Yes, I have a good feeling about this!"
Irene and Romuna encouraged Weed simultaneously.
Weed looked at everyone, in fact he was a little overwhelmed by the expectations that were too high for his teammates. When he saw everyone nodding then he activated his skill carefully, "Identification!"
Heavenly Tree Seeds!
Endurance 1/1
Effect: Leading You to the City of Heaven.
Requirement : You should plant it around Baran Village.
After Weed read the entire description of the status window, he immediately closed his eyes slowly, trying to calm down so as not to jump for joy.
When he opened his eyes, Weed found his partner's pale face waiting for an explanation from him. He was in this position just now, worried and nervous. Now he is still a bit in shock, trying to convince himself that this is not a dream.
"This seed is real."
After Weed gave his confirmation, his party members cheered in excitement, they even hugged each other, looking relieved as well as happy with this rare luck.
After they finished their joy, they held a second meeting. All eyes were focused on the leader.
"Honestly, I don't want to plant this seed in the open and be seen by others while riding it to the City of Heaven." Weed would indeed bring all his comrades there, but it was different with Darius and his minions, or other members in the expeditionary force of Baran Village. All he wanted, were those who controlled and exploited the City of Heaven first.
Very selfish, no, this is a very, very, very selfish name. But what's wrong, the seeds belong to them, it's up to them to be applied at any rate.
Since Weed and his companion had fought hard between life and death, the point was that they had already taken great pains to face the danger, draining sweat and blood to obtain these seeds. Then others casually gained the same advantage, Weed was very unwilling.
"I strongly agree with Weed's opinion. The fact that the City of Heaven is just a legend that we have broken, maybe one day there will be others who find it, but we do not need to declarate it." Pale became the main support Weed's suggestion.
This is different from the case of information monopoly. But more to who knows who is worthy to use that knowledge, like an example, who quickly he can.
If now everyone knew of the existence of the City of Heaven, then the profits for them would be reduced. Even their hard-fought struggles so far have yielded no satisfactory results.
In this cruel world, living with good morals and being virtuous was a foolish thing. Imagine if they told the truth about the City of Heaven, whether there would be people willing to give a quest, or share a rare quest on them. No one would appreciate some stupid naive person.
"I also agree. Now that we haven't even been there, it's too early to tell anyone else about this." Irene nodded several times as if to say, this idea is indeed the most correct and rational to do.
"All right, let's just go." Surka raised both corners of her lips.
The mutual agreement was finally reached in a short time. But the departure to the City of Heaven was postponed until they finished their respective matters.
Weed had to complete the quest of the Goddess Sculpture Freiya, and his teammates had to complete the expedition quest of Baran Village which was currently still going on.
So this time there are three points. First, they would go to the City of Heaven without preaching it to the public. Second, the departure to the City of Heaven must be delayed. Third, they set out after completing the quest case that weighed on each other's shoulders.
Right now their hearts were extremely turbulent, between half-spirit and half-concerned about venturing into a new world. If the territory was too difficult to exploit, they would probably just enjoy the scenery there then return empty-handed. Because exploitation into hidden territory is usually in addition to many advantages but also many great dangers.
...***...
Weed prepared to make various reasonable excuses to explain the situation to Darius, who had been reported to be returning soon. He was a little nervous if there were any questions regarding his team disappearing during the core battle.
But when they returned to Baran Village, they were all surprised to see an unexpected appearance. Nearly 100 players were battered. Not that it was a big deal, but all the players there were fighting fiercely blaming each other and fighting each other.
And the biggest problem now was an interesting show that pleased Weed. "It's better than a movie."
Surka nodded, she handed over the popcorn that was out of nowhere, "Good fun, everyone."
They were sitting leisurely watching the big show between the leader of the army and his subordinates who were rampaging like crazy bulls. This includes rare spectacles.
"You have to take responsibility for this!"
“Why did you scapegoat me instead?"
"You're still unconscious?! Because of your stupid plan, Collinya was killed in battle!"
“It was his responsibility to take care of his own life!"
"Damn! So now you blame the dead?!"
There are actually many weaknesses that cause this situation to occur. First, they were all just strangers put together. Second, his unorganized battle tactics could be said to be extremely chaotic. Third, they are not led by a responsible leader. So that events like this are not impossible to happen. Because from the beginning there was no sense of royal created between Darius and the expedition.
Darius stood upright raising his chin high, "This battle also includes war! So some inevitable casualties are always part of the war, right? Never mind, blaming each other would just be a waste of energy."
“Some casualties? You mean Collinya's death was an unavoidable victim? You don't care at all? This all happened because of your bad leadership!" The pale-skinned player yelled crazily and couldn't accept losing a sidekick.
“Aren't you the ones who voluntarily joined and obeyed my poor leadership? I'm tired of fighting with you like this when obviously we've won." Darius deliberately emphasized the word voluntary to resuscitate the opponent, his body soul was tired, this small quarrel could-can make it explode if not immediately stopped. His itchy hand wanted to break the player's neck in front of him, but it was too risky.
"What the fuck!"
But instead of staying silent, more and more players are holding Darius accountable.
Weed observed Darius and his party, everyone no one died even no one was injured, looking freshly fit. All players blame him. He shook his head, deeply regretting Darius' bad tactics.
With this the big problem is solved. Because no one cared when Weed and his partner ran away during the quest.
"I'm sure they ate most of the EXP from the expedition quest this time around. They purposely led other players into a trap. And will attack only when the monsters are tired and weak." Weed was still shaking his head, inexhaustible with the contents of Darius' brain."Ck ck! Fuckin."
"Not knowing yourself." Romuna reflexively let out her thoughts.
"No thanks." Irene.
"Ti.dak peri.kema.nu.sia.an." Surka emphasized every word.
"And ugly."
Everyone stared at the origin of the voice.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Whoah! A Pale just mocked someone else man!" Surka exclaimed cheerfully, after all these centuries, his old friend was a little open. Finally they were busy flirting with Pale.
But not with Weed, he was still analyzing the battle this time. This battle includes medium-sized war types. For this size, it was the infantry leader who would determine the battle tactics.
From here he realized that, the monsters hiding in the forest had lured the expedition to enter the forest to the untouched interior, 'A pretty good plan, you know, the forest was the most strategic fighting area for them.'
What the expedition knew, they were eradicating the monsters. They were chasing with passion. There will be many traps in the forest. Eventually, they were caught between life and death.
When the main army had cleared the way, while fighting to maintain life as hard as possible, then Darius and his partner exterminated the monsters, of course it would be easy for them because the monsters were tired and weak. In essence, Darius and his partner gained a lot of fame and EXP thanks to the sweat and blood from the main army.
"I've done my best by killing as many monsters as possible. Even my friends have saved your lives several times. You should thank us." Darius answered all the questions calmly. There was no guilt on his face at all.
Weed wanted to grab his hair that was like the snout of a chicken. But what good is he to do such a dangerous thing when he is still not strong.
"Thank you?! You think we don't know what you've done?!" The pale-skinned player was getting angry.
As well as the other players, they felt very sorry to have been led by this selfless and greedy person, "How could he say that? It's so stupid."
“Darius is the leader of the trash."
All of them were in droves expressing pent-up complaints. Some even deliberately threw spit in front of his eyes.
Darius gritted his teeth, unable to resist his annoyance, "If you have the guts stop complaining, and fight me like a real man! Remember that! You wouldn't have joined the expedition if I hadn't chosen all of you, sissy!"
Weed looked at Darius and the expeditionary force helplessly, %Based on the fools.'
Darius was willing to make his reputation famous for just a handful of fame and leadership. 'He was willing to skip the big catch just to get the anchovies that happened to be in plain sight. Too bad.'
He should have caught the big catch with all his might, while getting the small catch at once. Just like the expression, once the oar of two three islands is exceeded. That's the right thing to do.
And again, not only was Darius stupid here, but all the players who had believed in his leadership were stupid as well. They followed Darius' orders without any suspicion. If they did not listen to his stupid orders, then it would not be in a trap.
Although it sounds trivial, but this includes a big mistake because of trusting strangers. If they were more careful, maybe now their friends could still sustain lives.
"Here you go, there's no point in watching this bunch of fools." Weed stood up first.
"Yes, Weed's right." Pale stood up followed by the others.
They all walked casually towards the village square to escort Weed to the area.
“Hopefully succeeded, Weed.” Irene brandished a right fist, to encourage her comrade.
"If you sculpt the statue to look like my pretty face, I'll give you a special gift later." Surka smiled proudly.
"..."
"He he." Surka grinning wide. "I'm not kidding you."
"Well Weed, work hard, we will too." Pale patted his shoulder twice. "See you later."
They busted for a while, then disappeared among the crowd. Weed remained alone daydreaming the village square.
Like a consensus at the beginning, Weed would continue the quest statue of Goddess Freiya, while his partner continued the expedition quest to eradicate the remains of monsters. Because there are still some monsters that often disturb the villagers. In addition, there are many good hunting spots around the village.
There were several Resenheim invanters as well as villagers were passing by around the square while watching Weed who was daydreaming alone.
"What's wrong with her?"
"So, maybe his friend died there."
"ah! Makes sense."
Weed ignored the conversation about him, because now he was quite busy, "I have to find a big stone."
Stone is the right material to make a statue of Goddess Freiya, because the nature of the stone is not easily destroyed when exposed to rain, storms and will not be easily damaged inedible age.
Previously, Weed had never sculpted with the main material of stone, he always used wood. Although a little nervous about the end result, but he is not too worried because in this environment there are many stones. After all, Baran was a remote village trapped at the foot of the mountains.
Weed headed to the rocks piled up not far from the square. He chose the largest stone, larger than the arms of two adult men.
"Let's start." Weed took Hammer and Chiser out of the inventory.
He once bought it from a sculpture shop in the Citadel of Serabourg in preparation for sculpting. But, he had not expected to wear it this fast.
Hammer and Chiser for sclupture !
Endurance: 10/10
• special for sculpting stones.
• relativ is easily damaged because of its cheap price.
• it is advisable to be careful when wearing them.
Effect: Sclupture Mastery +1
Clangs! Clangs! Clangs!
Weed began to carefully sculpt the giant stone in front of him. Carving a solid, hard rock takes a lot of time and hard work than it looks. If one chisel a little, then the crack will spread throughout the stone. So he has to be extra careful.
'A statue should have high durability.' Sweats flooded Weed's forehead, he could not stop even though his hands were turning numb.
When tired he always convinces himself to focus on his goals, 'Money is my life, my time is money.'
Then his spirit will be filled to the full as before.
Clangs! Clangs! Clangs!
'The only difference with wooden statues is the material. Sculpting is about shaping an object according to the image that has been thought of from the beginning. So let's think again, what kind of shape is good to be a beautiful statue is unmatched. This statue should be the best sculpture I've ever made. I'll make it a legendary historical monument and carve my name there.' Weed laughed cunningly while dreaming of things that smelled of wealth.
