The Baruk Mountains were filled with monsters to the point of making someone hunting sick. However, behind it stored a lot of lucrative profits, there were a lot of EXP, money and drop items.
For Weed who liked wealth and liked to fight without limits, a place filled with monsters like this was already a pleasant second home for him. "There must be an undiscovered dungeon somewhere in this forest, right?"
Mapan's eyes immediately looked at Weed, "Ohh! I'm starting to feel a positive aura from your mind."
"Haha!"
"Do you want me to point to the Southwest?"
The Southwest part of the mountain range is unexplored. But Weed did not think too much about going there because now he was still focusing on sclupting skill enhancement. It was the Sclupting Blade skill inherited from Zahab. This skill can increase the resulting damage, attack techniques that ignore enemy defense and resistance. A skill that will be very useful in the future.
"It's not time yet."
"Be-yet? Didn't you?"
"Why?"
"No, it seems I have to prepare a heart. You're a person with too many surprises. I don't know what surprises you'll give me later. I should at least be prepared, right?"
"Ohh." Weed let out a long sigh, recalling the sweet memories of his time with Dain, at that time he also experienced many surprises from the girl. Suddenly he missed his unique voice which was very distinctive. "Can you sing?"
"Huh?"
"Forgetit." Weed chose to check the stat window. "Skill Check, Bestowal Life Sculpture!"
Sculpture Life Bestowal!
A hidden Scluptor Skill, which was specifically passed down by Emperor Geihar to his successors.
Skill Consumption:
• 5000 Mana.
• 10 Statistical Art (permanent consumption)
• reduced Level 2 (permanent consumption)
Terms : Can only be used with Sculpture Mastery stage Expert.
Attention: The statues have a strong sense of individuality and self-esteem. When they saw another statue identical to them, they would fight against the statue with all their might.
The skill passed down by Emperor Geihar in order to give life to the statue, Sculpture Life Bestowal. Sculptures sculpted with a tempestuous spirit will fight for their creator.
Statues made with higher art stat, after being turned on will be stronger, they will also experience a level increase like the players in general. This skill became the main benchmark of Emperor Geihar to conquer the continent under his feet.
If his sculptured statue could be given a life whatever the situation was, Weed would definitely have the most loyal subordinates who would follow his orders unconditionally. Weed was getting excited to raise his art stats.
To achieve this tantalizing skill, Weed had to raise the level of the Sclupture Mastery skill to the expert stage, at this time of course it was still very far for Weed. In addition, there are still consequences when giving life to a statue that will lose the Art stat and level. This skill cannot be used continuously at any one time.
"Although it sounds like this skill is very unreasonable, it will definitely be very useful in the future." Weed muttered little. His forehead frowned deeply as he heard the familiar voice that flowed between them.
"Whatever you want. Whatever you say. Nana na naanananana."
"You're teasing me?"
"singing. Don't you want to hear my singing?"
"Oh, do what you want."
Weed also did what he wanted, continuing his activities which had been delayed by a few seconds. Because there were no monsters approaching so he could rest while sculpting every event they experienced in the Baruk mountains, the times of fighting against the monsters or the natural scenery they passed.
Weed also tried to find a bright spot about the advantages of this profession. He did not want to regret the choice of having rejected the hidden profession of a knight master from the instructor in Lavias. This profession apart from being able to level up the Handicraft faster and having Sclupting Blade, there were no other special benefits. He was forced to balance the strength of the Knights and other swordsmen. 'Cluptor also has a special path, meaning there is still a chance. I have to maximize this opportunity.'
Weed could not be discouraged from discovering the Sclupting Blade and Bertowal Life Sculpture skills, these two amazing skills were the treasures of the Master Scluptor's legacy. He could not imagine how strong the three remaining skills would be.
Weed's eyes twinkled as if the diamond he bought had entered his eyes, 'Sculpture Destruction, Sculpture Life Bestowal, and even Sculpting Blade. I need to find the remaining skills. I need the basis of all those sclupting skills.'
Moreover, Weed did not stop thinking about what was at the end of the sculptor profession, after he had obtained all five skills.
In the end, the increase in Sculpting skill would affect everything.
Sculpture Mastery: Intermediate level 3.0%
The result of your sculpture will be more subtle and detailed!
"Finally, the Intermediate Sculpture Mastery stage rose to level 3." Weed's smile burst out, he took out the precious treasures that had been bought before leaving, there were pearls, diamonds and others.
"What are you doing? We-weed?" Mapan was nervous to death to see Weed who looked less than work. There is no point in flaunting wealth in the middle of the wilderness. He was also not as generous as it would give gems to the monsters. 'Ah! Maybe he wanted to research it or admire it? Whatver and whant.'
"Ohuk!" It felt like Mapan was going to vomit blood seeing Weed's next action. Whereas before he had set his heart on receiving a surprise from Weed. But he didn't imagine what his new partner was doing would be this crazy. "Anji-" He immediately smothered his mouth with both hands.
Casually, Weed sculpted the most glittering gems.
Mapan's face seemed to bend in horror. He knew clearly the value of the jewel, for he had personally intervened to choose, check and buy it. It was a gem that was extremely high in price, overstepping the limit, it could even make one faint after hearing it.
But, Weed unhesitatingly continued to scrape the surface of the gem with his flagship blade, "A-right, a-pa you-AHHH!" Mapan could not continue the words.
Srak!
Just before he tried to stop Weed's actions, Mapan's eyes widened in surprise.
The shape of the gem gradually came to the surface. The scratch level is not even very visible, unless it is noticed in great detail. The radiance of the beauty glowed brightly from the jewel that was being chiseled.
Srak!
"Wuah! How lovely!" The longer Weed's hand moved the more Mapan was fascinated by his sculptural radiance although it was still far from perfect. Every corner of the dull jewel is changing constantly getting brighter.
"How could a gemstone be this beautiful!"
One needed the basic Sclupture Mastery skill and the Handicraft skill in order to sculpt the gemstones. For Weed who was already at the intermediate stage, there was of course no shortage in his Handicraft skill to allow him to sculpt gemstones. Plus, Weed was assisted by the Sclupting Knife Zahab, a rare item that was even worthy of being called a Scluptor's precious treasure.
However, the basic skill and Handicraft were only requirements, the thing that really made the gemstone sculpture beautiful was the Art statistic. Weed's current Art stats, nearly 300. The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor profession gave an additional 100 points to Art's stats, and the rest came from other masterpieces he had created. Because his Art stats were so high, all sorts of effects appeared on the gemstone.
"No-no! I'm not imagining!" Mapan's body trembled violently as he imagined what would happen to them in the future.
Indeed, Mapan's initial estimate was that Weed deliberately bought many raw gems from the Rosenheim Kingdom for resale upon arrival at the Britten Alliance. However, after seeing the results of Weed's work that materialized in front of his eyes directly, he thought about how much profit would be obtained. The beauty of the jewel sculpture resulted from the hard work of the greatest scluptor by pouring all of his soul and body into it.
Mapan was immersed in a deep feeling, 'I can't even guess how big the profit is.' He deliberately drove the wagon as carefully as possible, so as not to disturb Weed's concentration.
Although Weed looked like he was sculpting, but the truth was that he was not that clumsy. Because of his high Handicraft skills plus Sclupting Zahab facilitates his work.
...***...
Manggaraian!
A place where travelers and caravans rest, while traveling through the Baruk mountains. Originally, it was a place built by Rosenheim Kingdom infantry, as a resting place. So, that place is not a place that is specifically frequented by travelers.
"We were lucky enough to find this place. Finally, we can find the destination in about a day or two."
"Haha! We've been working hard. This journey is so difficult, it feels like my life will drift at any time." Axe laughs.
"It's all because of you, Spade."
"That's right, Hammer. And you're the one who started this misery for killing that man."
Axe, Hammer, Spade, and Lawn Mawer, are the famous 4 PKs of the Britten Alliance. They had fun killing other players and then robbing them of their equipment. The four of them are known as Dwichigi Quartet.
But now different, after donating a lot of money to the church and hunting many monsters finally sign PK belongs to the four of them lost without a trace. So, they were quite calm if they met other players, would not be considered enemies anymore.
About a month ago they had fearlessly made trouble with the Maja guild. This guild was not only a large guild in the Britten Alliance, but belonged to the 10 largest guilds in the entire continent. With more than 6,000 players. If added to the allied forces then the number will not be estimated with certainty so much. These Guilds were even worthy of being juxtaposed with the strength of the Britten Alliance itself.
In other words, the Maja guild should not have been harassed in the first place by the Dwichigi Quartet, if they were indeed dear to life. In reality, they had unintentionally caused this huge problem. So, some of this time the four of them were on the top fugitive list. They were forced to flee, focused on hunting to level up, until they arrived at this dangerous mountain range.
Spade imagined the initial events that loomed over them.
Flashbacks!
A month ago, all these problems started. In front of them was a thick-moustached man who was barking viciously, "This is my territory! Go!" Name's Brady.
"Bad!" Spade clucked waist.
"Who do you dare threaten us?" Lawn Mayer brandished a sword.
"Easy! Let's just kill this bastard!" Explosive Hammer can't wait for their bacot.
"Really! I'll teach this bastard not to forget himself!" Spade and Hammer come together to face Brady.
"I told you I own this place!" Brady's voice howled high. Brady dared to disturb them of course because he did not know their identity.
"A-what?" Brady backed down following his instincts.
"Your voice makes my ears hurt bangs*t!" Reply Axe no less booming in broad daylight. That usually smiling face looked extremely terrifying while being serious. He turned his head towards his friends, they immediately nodded.
Together they attack the enemy. Brady who is weaker level certainly can not avoid attacks repeatedly from various angles.
Clangs!
Blood instantly spurted onto Hammer's face as he finished off Brady with a single slash. When he turned his head towards his friends he laughed horribly, instantly rubbing onto the others. This is the true nature of these four people, instantly eliminating anyone indiscriminately, according to their famous nickname, the Dwicighi Quartet.
They received a map from the drop item that Brady dropped.
The Short Legged Tomb!
Endurance 1/1
Where the eccentric dwarves rest.
It is between two valleys.
Under a big tree.
Everywhere the rumbling sounds continued to be heard.
The road is very narrow, between the roar look for a sound that does not ring.
Note: The ultimate power cannot be achieved without sacrifice.

'"What does that mean?" Spade's brain was unable to understand the grammatical intent because the value of the language was substandard. He turned to his friends, they all shrugged, he forgot that their brains were not much different.
The four of them laughed together choosing to ignore the map. Considering that the map is worthless, its value is equated with maps that are commonly found everywhere.
Unfortunately, since then their existence has been constantly tracked by the Maja guild. From there they only realized that they had harassed one of the guilds that they should not disturb.
"Damn it! Stupidhead! If he had told us in the first place that he was from the Maja guild, I wouldn't have killed him either!"
"We killed him without giving him a chance to speak."
"How could it be our fault!"
"Anyways, we have to hide now."
From then on, the four of them did not appear for 2 weeks, hiding in a quiet place that would have otherwise been visited by others. However, how long time passed, the Maja guild did not stop chasing at them. In order to avoid death, the four of them had gone through many difficulties and several times nearly failed to escape.
The fourth level of that person was above 200. But, without the experience of PK, they would not be able to escape the various crises of the Maja guild.
Axe felt that something was propping up from this hunt, "Don't you guys feel like something's weird."
"I also thought so, don't you two agree?" Lawn Mayer turned to Hammer and Spade. The two men even frowned.
Making Lawn Mayer have to explain longer, "The whole guild won't chase after us, just for killing one member."
"Yes, they're so determined to kill us all." Hammer was well aware of this fact.
"Wait a minute, what map do we take from that jerk?" Axe turned to Spade who was reading the contents of the map.
"Look, it's something about the grave of a dwarf." Lawn Mayer interrupts first, knowing that Spade's brain can't remember anything.
"I'm not wrong, this map must be something special."
Lawn Mayer nodded a few times, "So the point is, they're not after us, but chasing this map."
"Rice!"
"Hehe!"
"Then we should try to find the treasure from this map."
Since then, the four of them have begun searching for the secrets behind the map. They traversed various kingdoms to find archives that stored information about the map. It is time for them to successfully decipher the meaning of each phrase.
Flashback Off's!
End they come here, Baruk mountains.
"All we have to do now is enter the tomb." Spade smiled happily.
Lawn Mayer rolled her eyes, looking restrained in annoyance, "Everyone knows that too, but how is it? There is no Adventurer among us, so the trap inside the dungeon is unbreakable."
"That-"
"Our bodies can accept some traps." Hammer replied lightly approved by Spade.
"Even if the entire process goes smoothly, one would still have to die from a lightning strike at the end of the trap. So, one of us who's gonna have to die?"
The point of this conversation is clear, no one among them is willing to sacrifice. Those four people were already used to killing others clearly unwilling to die alone. They started looking at each other.
Then, a big smile appeared on Axe's face. "It's been decided."
"Si-who?"
"You're not referring to me, are you?" Hammer's almost blown up.
Axe pointed his index finger, the heart of everyone who had been pumping with all his sudden strength slowly. Because Axe's index finger did not point to one of them, but to the foot of the mountains. There was the wagon that Weed and Mapan were riding.
When another player waved enthusiastically, Mapan was forced to stop the wagon.
"Wow! I didn't expect to meet anyone in a place like this. Hello my name is Mapan!" Mapan jumped off the wagon approaching the Dwicighi Quartet with his trademark smile
"I'm Axe, this is Lawn Mayer, Hammer and-"
"The spade!"
"Greetings!"
"It's nice to meet you!"
The four people smiled widely, welcoming Weed and Mapan.
"It's rare to find someone who deliberately travels through the Baruk mountains, what are your plans?" Axe smiled alluringly trying to familiarize himself.
"Ah, we want to trade." Mapan replied no less enthusiastically.
"trading?" Axe and Lawn Mayer briefly glanced at Mapan again, "Meaning, you two are Merchants, huh?"
"Rubber! I am a Merchant, and Weed is a Sculptor." Mapan pointed at himself and Weed alternately.
"Oh, like that." Axe smiled broadly, the other three friends tried to hide joy.
'He said he was a sculptor!'
'I just found out that there are people who choose the trash profession.'
Although on the surface of their attitude sesopan facing prospective in-laws, but in the heart of their attitude is very bad. Not that they liked the two-faced attitude, but this was in order to complete the task of searching for a very valuable treasure. After all, they learned to deal with situations while dealing with others since the Brandy incident.
Lawn Mayer asked cautiously, "By the way, may I ask how you can cross the Baruk Mountains when your profession, sorry is not to insult your profession, I mean to insult your profession, but this place is very dangerous because it is filled with various monsters. I just wanted to share some insight into how you guys deal with monsters?"
"That's because of Weed-" The new Mapan was about to explain instantly came to a halt as Weed nudged his stomach from the side.
"Weed?" Mapan was of course surprised by the sudden warning. As he stared at Weed's stern eyes, he realized the meaning of the gaze, Weed wanted him to keep it a secret about his abilities. Although he did not understand the reason but he chose to keep his mouth shut.
Axe raised next to his brows aware of the awkward situation, then he widened, "Well, is it really that hard for you to tell us?"
In fact, Weed's instinct was to say that something was hidden by the four people in front of him. However, the Versailles continent is vast, although the number of players is also very large, but it would be very rare to meet people in a place worn as a monster's paradise.
In general, when meeting other people in unusual places such as mountains, it will say hello and maybe even eat together, if you have the same goal, you will walk together for a while. But the joy of these four people was too excessive. They were even more pleased when they found out about Weed and Mapan's profession that was usually ignored by others because it was considered a burden.
Weed was quietly observing the four of them. Axe was at the very front as if to be the leader to open a conversation with Weed and Mapan, next to him was Lawn Mayer who seemed to be the team representative. While the other two people were reliable men. 'Mistakably, they must be the Rogue.'
