The Legendary Moonlight Scluptor

Through the Dangerous Forest!

While traveling in the South, the Rosenheim Kingdom, Weed and Mapan deliberately stopped in big cities to buy local products. Pearls, jade, cheese, olive oil, white wine, mithril etc., are all characteristic of southern cities.

The Rosenheim Kingdom does not have high commercial technology. Perhaps it is because of this that jewelry, food, and raw ores are actively traded. Among the kingdoms in the center of the continent, there were several cities and countries that had special skills for producing weapons and armor.

Of course, weapons produced in the center of the continent are more durable and have awesome attack and defense statistics than other parts of the world. Therefore, the players who started at the center of the continent had a satisfying advantage. However, in the fringe kingdom having more adventure spots that have not been touched, this gives the novice players the opportunity to grow rapidly.

Mapan was looking at the goods of good quality. Now he was commissioned by Weed to buy the items they needed to sell in the center of the continent later. Because this man had a skill that made it possible to buy items at a cheaper price. Even so, he still has to be careful in bargaining, because if the offer price is too excessive it can cause failure in the transaction. So, the seller will be disappointed and do not want to transact with you for approximately 10 days.

"I'll buy 40 diamonds."

Mapan made an offer with the seller. After coming to an agreement, he turned back, facing the real boss in this team. He asked in a low voice, "The price of the diamond is 760 gold. Should I buy it?"

Weed drew his face closer, "Umm. Can't it be any less?"

"This is my skill limit."

Weed's hand trembled as he entered his pocket. From there came out 800 gold, his hands still did not stop shaking. With a heavy heart he handed over his beloved treasure to Mapan.

Mapan even had to exert all his strength to pull the money out of Weed's hand. "Ehem!"

After a long struggle finally the money ended up in the hands of Mapan. He laughed forcefully as he faced off again with the seller, "This is the pay, sir. 800 gold."

Weed almost cried seeing the transfer of his property, "His return." He muttered hoarsely, feeling his voice almost break off. He immediately snatched the change before the seller thrust it at Mapan.

Mapan is no longer surprised by this protective attitude when it comes to money. So, she acted like nothing happened, "Where are we going now?"

"To the village of Citeras to buy some pearls."

They continued their journey while observing the surrounding villages. Finally, 50 pearls were collected for 690 gold, plus 3 kg of mithril purchased upon arrival in the coal mining village.

Weed's wallet, which used to only recognize income, was now forced to get acquainted with spending. After so many expenses, in the end there were 50 gold left. Though Weed's previous wealth was more than 1700 gold.

Weed had to ease his body and soul over carrying away the wealth he had accumulated with great difficulty. It is true that the saying goes, looking for money requires a long journey that drains sweat and blood, while spending it is enough with the blink of an eye. So, Weed convinced himself several times that this was the beginning of his investment.

Anyway Weed would double his money many times bigger. Before leaving he had been looking for information about the areas that he would pass through as well as the dangerous mountain terrain, so he was quite calm with the plans that he had compiled as best as possible.

In the Britten Alliance, behind the Baruk Mountains, the price of gems is about 25% more expensive than on this side of the mountains. Even if the person selling it is not a Merchant, he can still make a small profit from the market price and get a fame. So Weed deliberately bought as many items as possible.

But Mapan was very curious about Weed's busyness that seemed not to meet the end point. "What exactly is he doing?"

And his busyness is not a common thing done by people, he always does strange things that are beyond reason, natural if Mapan looks confused by him.

As they walked through the countryside, Weed sometimes crouched down to pull out the weeds that were blooming to enliven the roadside, then kept them in a backpack. His face looks carefree, seriously finding treasure.

Mapan's head seemed to be breaking off thinking of various reasonable reasons for Weed's busyness. Finally he chose to end his curiosity before branching out, "Weed, may I ask what you're doing?"

Weed looked at him for a moment, "Ah! You mean this?" He pointed at the wild plant in his hand, "I'm uprooting an herbal plant."

Mapan's face looked distrustful of Weed's words, he looked at the plant in Weed's hand more closely, "Eiy! How could this weed be a herbal plant."

"I'm not wrong, this is a herbal plant. Little info, I've learned Traditional Medical skills."

"really?"

"Hm. The area here is not maintained, but the soil is very fertile, in addition to wild grass there are many herbal plants that come to grow. Good to add stock."

"Oh!" Mapan exhaled a long breath, seemingly swallowing his absorbent vow deeply. The remains of Weed who had previously been crowned an idol by Mapan had disappeared completely. It ended up being the worst japkae ever. 'I judged this person too quickly!'

Mapan looked at Weed concernedly. All this time he was still positive thinking that the person who had hunted the Death Knight and the undead was Weed, because he alone brought the item drop from them. Now that Mapan was starting to think no-no, it was possible that Weed just happened to be lucky and found the drop item somewhere. Although the possibility is as thin as a thread, but this makes more sense than his strange attitude.

Although Mapan had doubted Weed up to this point, he was still a real man. He is the type of person who believes in justice and destiny. If it wasn't for Weed, he couldn't have benefited this much in the blink of an eye. The increase in skill and level was indirectly caused by Weed.

On the way this time, his stats could rise drastically thanks to buying items commissioned by Weed. This situation was not bad at all, so he did not need to give up too quickly from his cooperation with Weed. However, he always made a huge profit for Mapan.

'After all as a real man, I can't pull my words.' Mapan nodded a few times. He was confident in his choice this time.

"Really! I'm not giving up!" Mumbled.

"What?"

"No, there's nothing. I'm thinking about what I'm going to buy."

"Ohhh. I thought you were sorry for following me."

"..." - ".Mapan fell silent, he swallowed the hard-earned salivary.

"I'm just kidding." Weed patted Mapan on the shoulder several times, "Come, we should buy some more necessities."

"..."

Weed turned to Mapan, "Don't tell me that my joke is right?"

Mapan laughed forcefully, "Haha! Where possible. You are the bearer of good luck to me."

Mapan earnestly exerted his efforts when buying some special commodities Weed. Mapan also took the time to buy some items for himself. Unlike Weed, he did not have much wealth. So, the bulk is centered on foods like olive oil and cheese. These items do not have much advantage, but the price is very stable so it does not have a risk of loss.

Mapan had deliberately delayed buying the items for him to arrive at the last place. Besides because his skill had improved greatly thanks to buying Weed items that made him able to buy many items at low prices, he also did not have the hassle of pulling the burden through several villages.

Rapan bid the price of a horse that turned out to be over 100 gold. Because the money was not enough, he had to buy a dying donkey.

Preparations to leave were finally finished.

Weed threw away some of the backpacks that had accompanied his journey all along, as they had been broken everywhere. Instead, he got help from Mapan to buy a backpack at the store to store his herbs, which could hold 20 times their volume, as well as reduce their weight by almost a quarter.

Now, Weed looked like a traveling merchant. He looked at Mapan who was holding back a laugh. "Are you ready?"

As Mapan's heart beat faster, he realized they had reached the village border. He swallowed the saliva several times while staring at the wilderness before them. "Yes!"

...***...

Baruk Mountain!

It lies between the Southern Kingdom of Resenheim and the Eastern Britten Alliance. The mountain is the direct border of the two neighboring countries. But that place was the paradise of his world of monsters.

Home to monsters. The dangerous terrain.

The two countries put special forces to guard and clean monsters in the area on the edge of the Baruk Mountains periodically. If it did not do this, the Rosenheim Kingdom and the Britten Alliance would constantly be attacked by monsters.

Rooooaabayar!

Just now that the two of them were climbing the mountain range was already greeted by a terrifying howl. The sound bounced several times on the mountain wall. Made Mapan's feet tremble violently from being too shocked.

As they got deeper into the forest, various terrifying sounds started to appear buzzing in the ears. Followed by the sound of a broken tree branch sounding earthy. Mapan stared up several times to make sure no branches would befall them.

Like its reputation, this mountain range was truly a monster paradise. A place that was not a dungeon like this was extremely rare to be able to store such abundant monsters.

"See before you!"

Mapan was finally awakened by Weed's warning, otherwise their cart would have gone into the abyss. She was so focused on noticing the real world, "Sorry."

"Focus! I don't want to lose my life thanks to something ridiculous, like falling out of a wagon."

"Ah." Mapan finally focused, they resumed their delayed journey, and Weed resumed his delayed activities.

Damn, only a few rare ones they left had already been intercepted by the monster, Lycanthrope. More precisely a werewolf, belevel is about 100.

Lycanthrope is generally level 150. In these mountains they occupy the lowest position in the food chain. Therefore, they were left out of the heart of the mountains and inhabited the foot of the mountain, a place Weed and Mapan were going through.

The bad news is that the Lycanthrope often hunts in groups, and today more than 10 have appeared at once. The roar just now that sounded like the howling of a wolf, was probably the shouting sound of these Lycanthrope. The reason for the howls is that the prey has been found and is on their hunting grounds.

Their bodies resemble those of humans, with the exception of the heads that leave behind the wolf genes. Then their bodies began to be overgrown with gray feathers like wolves in general. They are evil creatures that can turn into stray dogs.

Mapan who occupied the driver's seat was of course already agitated."The mo-monster finally appeared. No, no, more importantly, what are we going to do? Weed's! You said you'd handle a situation like this!"

The Lycanthrope approached them slowly.

"Weeds! Say something!" Mapan was about to cry seeing Weed who was staring at him for a moment with a sinless grin.

Handicraft: Intermediate Level 4.0%

• 5% increase in tool and hand wear%.

• it has an effect on many skills and statistics.

When the Handicraft skill is at the beginning stage, its stats will increase by 3% each level up. While the intermediate stage, an increase of 5% will be given each level up. If you think about it, the effect is now bigger, but to raise it 1 level is much more difficult than before.

Back then, Weed was sculpting the shape of the tree he had just gone through in great detail, so he could increase Sculpture Mastery by 1.5%. There were times when his sculpting skill rose significantly to his surprise, but there were also times when his skill was difficult to climb. Given that Weed's skill was Intermediate level 4, a 1.5% increase was a huge increase. Weed's skill level had gone up, and increased his stats.

Weed was slightly satisfied with the result, "Lumayan."

After all from a tree, there were many branches and leaves. Looking from the branches and twigs of trees that were blooming everywhere, it seemed that the tree had lived for many years. As per the rumor that says that drawing a tree that has lived more than 1000 years will be very difficult and tiring. Now Weed was experiencing it for real.

But, as expected of a Weed, once he jumped in to do something, it was unmitigated that he would put forth his best effort. The sculpture looks almost like a real tree. Although not yet qualified enough to be proud of, but anyway it is a pretty good sculpture.

"We-Weed-Please!"

Weed immediately placed the Engraving Knife in his hand just before Mapan cried.

Sriyin!

The melodious chant of the sword that had escaped from its nest echoed among them. Weed made Clay Sword a pedestal as he made a casual speech in front of the horde of enemies, "I feel a little helpless. I think I took too long a break. It's time for me to stretch my muscles." Weed did a short warm-up.

Mapan rubbed his face full of emotion, not expecting at a critical moment like this, Weed could still relax on the beach, "Oh my goodness! Don't tell me he thinks we're having a picnic?"

"Sadly, I missed your change. But it doesn't matter, because you're not the only Lycanthrope inhabiting these Mountains, are you?" Weed smiled horribly. made his opponent take a step back.

What Weed loved about not seeing the Lycanthrope change process earlier because he wanted to sculpt them, it would be better if he saw firsthand how their change process was. Because from there he can capture the moments before, during and post their changes. It was a good idea to raise his Sclupture Mastery level drastically.

Weed jumped off the wagon while accompanied by Clay Sword.

Mapan mangap-mangap saw it, could not help but be surprised to see his sword that had been cracked everywhere, as if it was instantly destroyed during the first attack, "Don't you plan to fight using that sword?"

Although Weed had obtained a lot of equipment from undead monsters, the sword Weed was using was still Clay Sword. That's because Dullahan only dropped heavy weapons like iron mace and axe, Ghoul only dropped hooves, while Death Knight's weapons can't be used, unless you're a Knight or level above 200, so Weed had no choice in terms of weapons.

Since he was hunting alone and in isolated places, he should at least withstand this. Every time his sword was broken, he replaced it with another Clay Sword, this had happened dozens of times.

Weed turned to Mapan for a moment with his signature grin, "Gotcha!" He pointed his index and thumb at Mapan, cool himself.

Mapan immediately drooped limp with a pale face, "Mother, what should I do?"

Weed did not look the slightest bit guilty for making his partner's face as pale as paper. Now he was playing the sword, as if deliberately waiting for the last arrival of Lycanthrope.

Sure enough, the amount of Lycanthrope surrounding them was constantly increasing. Now the number is beyond 20. They kicked the ground hard, jumped, and roared wildly

Grows!

The Lycanthrope let out a ferocious roar. Looks like it will dominate the fight. As expected of the descendants of wolves, the Lycanthrope the brave. Lycanthrope was a monster with a fast movement speed, so it was impossible to escape.

The old donkey of the old cart puller Weed's entourage lowered his head in fear feeling the ferocious aura of the monster in front of him.

Roooooaaaaaaaar!

Loud howls came out of Weed's mouth, causing scattered dust to blind the view, piles of dried leaves spreading from the ground, even the branches of nearby trees to shake violently as if they were about to break.

The roar swept over those who heard it.

You've used Lion's Roar!

Lion's Roar: +1%

Lion's Roar: level 1, EXP 1%

As the skill level rose, his strength also increased.

The Lycanthrope simultaneously turned their faces away from Weed, they looked at each other's faces looking hesitant and agitated after hearing the roar.

Weed would not miss the gap. He immediately charged at them with his fist.

"Rapid Shadow Fist!"

Babababak!

"Raise!"

Weed continued to beat the Lycanthrope with consecutive punches. But he did not experience any fear or nervousness. For Weed, the Death Knights in Lavias, the Lycanthrope who were only level 100, was no problem for him, even their large numbers could be easily overcome.

The Lycanthrope drove ferociously towards Weed. They kicked the ground, jumped, clawed and bit with their nails and teeth, but, no matter how hard they tried they still could not scratch Weed's body.

"Seven Celestial Steps!"

Weed had his flagship technique, he could avoid them all using the footstep skill. All this time, Weed had only used a footstep skill that had the ability to dodge attacks. However, the footstep skill in Royal Road also had a unique ability.

Sretta!

Weed who was running fast suddenly turned 90 degrees. If this was done in real life, it would be absolutely impossible for anyone to be able to do it. When running fast, it instantly switched in the opposite direction as fast as lightning, its speed could not even be seen with the naked eye. Isn't this so incredible, it can only be done by superhumans, if it exists.

With this, Weed once again rediscovered the prowess of the footstep skill.

As the name implies, it consists of 7 steps, twisting in all directions while running, or appearing suddenly, as if out of an empty place. It was a skill that showed great value, and as expected of a first-rate martial arts skill.

"Seven Celestial Steps!"

Although Lycanthrope came from all directions, Weed twisted his body several times to break through the enemy's encirclement. Since he changed direction instantly, like connecting the line of the Big Dipper Star, Weed created a clear afterimage.

The illusion!

Mapan did not even realize how long it had been gaping. Only his head was still sane, looking back and forth following Weed's body movements.

As the Lycanthrope attacked the illusory shadow, Weed had already stepped out of the siege and started his attack. Every time Weed's fist landed, a Lycanthrope turned into a gray flash, one by one they disappeared.

The Baruk Mountains, which are famous for being home to monsters, are far from peaceful. At that moment, something extraordinary happened.

Roooooaaaaaar!

Yaaaaaaaaaaa!

An incredible roar sounded from the various corners of the Baruk mountain range. Weed had just used Lion's Roar again. This was to increase his stats with the Lion's Roar skill.

With each arrival of Lycanthrope, Weed immediately used this skill.

Day turned night, night changed day, Weed's cries always echoed dominating the Baruk mountains, causing the entire mountain range to be in chaos.
