Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (18)

Before challenging the 4th stage of Hell, a sweet vacation begins.

100,000 gold was awarded.

Please choose a place to spend your vacation.

After completing the third stage of Hell, Weed was able to choose his desired vacation destination.

(I recommend the beautiful kingdom of Schult, which is surrounded by the sea, and the kingdom of Lohas, which has a beautiful lake.)

Artificial intelligence recommended places where you can relax.

It may seem like you’ve easily cleared the third level of Hell, but in reality, you’ve endured 10 days of grinding and extreme pain caused by the Mirror of the Abyss.

Weed had no intention of resting.

‘Okay, so where is the largest and most commercially developed city?’

(The Cretan Empire is large, but if you look at only developed cities, it is Ashford, the capital of the Kingdom of Livade.)

(There are many large guilds fiercely fighting for power, and there are also many active users.)

The Kingdom of Ribeid was a powerful nation with a brilliant history and a developed economy.

‘Let’s go there.’

* * *

“I sell honey! I have sweet honey.”

“Beer for sale. Beer brewed by a beginner level 8 cook.”

“Palm wine! Delicious palm wine for only 1 silver. Be sure to take some with you before you go hunting.”

“I’m buying useless short bows and two-handed swords. Don’t throw them away or break them, just make gold for them.”

“Chamomile healing bandage. Helps heal even major wounds quickly. 2 gold per bundle. Discounts available for bulk purchases.”

Weed appeared with a brilliant golden light.

Ashford’s square was bustling with merchants, and their eyes were all focused on him.

“Oh, you’re teleporting to the square?”

“Golden Teleport? You must be a really strong user.”

“But why is the equipment… … .”

Ashford’s users were amazed.

In the Kingdom of Rebade, there are many prestigious guilds competing fiercely, and there are many strong users.

However, only a very small number of users can use teleportation magic, not the teleportation gate.

Moreover, I had never heard of a golden teleport.

“Isn’t shoulder padding goblin equipment?”

“It’s like you’re wearing rags on purpose to pretend to be a beginner.”

Weed glanced around the square.

I saw fancy, tall buildings, and although I don’t know much about the equipment the users were wearing, there were a lot of them that looked quite luxurious.

‘There are a lot of people.’

The Roanoke incident happened and there were people living there who couldn’t log out.

(Ashford is a center of politics, commerce, and military power. The city’s prosperity is the highest on the continent.)

(There are many users who have been there since the beginning, and there are large guilds in their teens competing.)

‘I see.’

It really feels like you’re in Roanoke, unlike when you’re stuck on Hell difficulty.

After spending 7 days, you will have to go back to Hell difficulty.

‘I have to hurry up and get the work done.’

Weed set out what to do for seven days.

Leveling up through hunting is best done on Inferno difficulty though.

(The main dungeons are control.)

‘Control?’

(Large guilds have declared it as their territory.)

‘Do I have to pay an entrance fee to hunt?’

(Some places charge an entrance fee, but many of them will kill you if you enter the dungeon.)

‘You’re going to kill me?’

(Yes, most dungeons can only be hunted by users belonging to large guilds.)

In Roanoke, the best hunting grounds were under the control of the Guild.

Ordinary users or users of small to medium guilds had to use hunting grounds that were less efficient or far from the city.

‘In my time, even the large guilds weren’t this territorial.’

(Times have changed. Not only are you subject to dungeon hunting without permission, but you are also subject to slaughter if you hunt regional boss monsters or apply for siege warfare.)

‘How scary.’

It wasn’t like this even when the Hermes Guild ruled the central continent in Royal Road.

Although the government took into account the public sentiment of the users to some extent, now rule by force is accepted as a given.

(If a user is branded in Roanoke, not only the user, but the entire guild the user belongs to will be killed.)

‘This is seriously bad.’

(After the Roanoke incident, it was even harder to attack the Line Guilds because you would really lose your life.)

The world of Roanoke was definitely one ruled by force.

A world where high-level users don’t even get criticized for their extreme tyranny.

‘Then hunting will be difficult.’

Weed decided not to rebel, but to surrender quietly.

Those who have passed the third stage of Hell have to watch out for large guilds with users of much higher levels.

‘I can’t waste time, so I guess I should try making something in the square.’

(Before that, wouldn’t it be better to take some time to go see your daughter?)

It wasn’t that far to the city where tea ceremony was held.

If you wanted to go, it was a distance that could easily be covered in just two or three hours.

‘I can’t meet you right now.’

Weed was a daughter who was so precious that she would never hurt anyone, but there was an important issue that prevented her from meeting her.

(Is it because of the loss of experience points?)

I thought AI had gotten pretty good at understanding Weed.

The amount of light loss that occurs while visiting your daughter is a hugely important factor.

‘No, but she’s still my daughter, and the time I spend with her is a little more precious than the experience.’

(I don’t know why then.)

‘When I meet Daye, it will be after I have leveled up.’

(Yes? I don’t know what you mean.)

‘We can’t meet in this state of confusion.’

It was a serious matter that involved my father’s pride.

* * *

Luria passed through the teleportation gate with her robe turned inside out.

Teleporting from Roanoke cost quite a bit of gold, but she had an important mission.

Everuk Castle.

Arriving at her destination, she walked briskly through the busy streets.

‘I asked you to tell my daughter for me.’

I met Weed on Hell difficulty.

Meeting the legendary player in person was a shock, but not as much as seeing him clear the Inferno difficulty.

It would have been fortunate if they had somehow achieved their goal, but they had destroyed the abandoned fortress.

‘I’ve been making sculptures all along, but I’ve used forbidden magic. How could I do that?’

I guess there must have been a secret, but I don’t think it was something an ordinary person could follow.

‘I spent most of the 10 days eating only barley bread and making sculptures. That’s not something a human being can do.’

I have never seen him sleep, no matter how he did it.

Barton and Sen watch over him from time to time, and they all say they’ve never seen him sleep.

‘A man with many secrets… … .’

Luria felt a deep interest in Weed.

He’s been a celebrity for a long time, and I knew he was married because he asked me to tell his daughter about it.

‘My wife was an incredible beauty, beyond what someone like me could keep up with. According to Uncle Barton, she was the greatest beauty in the history of Royal Road.’

So far, no one has passed the Hell difficulty and successfully created a character, and there will never be one in the future.

I had a feeling that if there was one person, it would be Weed.

‘If you can get through stage 3 like that, the rest of the stages shouldn’t be impossible.’

That’s why Luria decided to carry out Weed’s words well.

“Please give me just a penny.”

As Evaruk Castle was a large city, there were many beggars.

Until recently, many users who were active freely gave up hunting for various reasons and settled down in the city, living like beggars.

It’s like begging for money while wearing equipment that’s over level 50 or 60.

‘It’s definitely different. Really… … .’

It was not hard to understand that it was difficult to risk one’s life and go hunting.

Looking at the users who only stay in the city, I can’t help but think of Weed, who was chewing up the third level of Hell difficulty.

“I came looking for a user named Daye.”

“Everything? I’ll be washing the dishes in the kitchen.”

“Are you going to wash the dishes?”

“Just look for it roughly.”

A shabby restaurant that appears when you enter a back alley in the city.

Luria could find a girl washing cheap wooden utensils in the kitchen.

A girl working hard with her robe pulled over her face.

She moved her hands busily, clearing away food scraps and wiping dishes, as if by magic.

I feel like I’m doing a really good job.

“Are you, Daye?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

“My name is Luria. I came here because Daye’s father asked me to tell you something.”

The girl wearing the robe raised her head toward her.

At that moment, Luria had to doubt her own eyes.

‘It’s so pretty.’

The way he looked at her was so unbelievably beautiful.

Eyes that are mysterious, innocent, and crazy charming.

The overall shape and proportions of the eyes, forehead, nose, lips, chin, and face seem to be created solely with beauty.

‘Not only men, but also women would risk their lives for someone like this.’

In Roanoke, customization of appearance was possible.

Changing the original appearance incurs penalties to strength, stamina, luck, etc., so it cannot be changed drastically.

If the original is pretty, it can be modified to make it look even prettier, but from a professional’s perspective, that wasn’t the case.

An aura radiating from such natural beauty.

‘Even if I majored in art, I wouldn’t have been able to edit like that.’

Even famous painters have limits to the beauties they can draw.

Weed’s daughter was ridiculously pretty to look at.

Enough to make you doubt whether you are even human like yourself.

Luria had never thought she would have the experience of having her gaze blankly captured by a woman’s face.

“I’m sorry. I was feeling uncomfortable while washing the dishes, so I turned off the skill for a moment.”

When Daye activated her skill, her face instantly became covered in freckles.

Although her cute face was still there, her eyes had gotten smaller and her mouth had become slightly crooked, making her appearance below average.

“What skill is it?”

“Oh, I got it while doing a quest. It has a skill to change your appearance.”

Even the girl’s voice was lively and nice.

“But is it true that Dad sent my sister away?”

“that’s right.”

Luria came to her senses and explained that Weed was taking a character creation test.

Hellfire difficulty level 3.

The fact that he had only created a sculpture and then activated the forbidden magic to use the undead to wipe out the defeated soldiers.

Of course, I didn’t necessarily convey that I had suffered tremendously.

“Did you say that Dad came to Roanoke to rescue me?”

Daye’s eyes welled up with tears.

Since I couldn’t disconnect from Roanoke, I thought there would be some movement towards rescue in reality.

Because the police might be there or something like that might be happening.

But her father, who had been holding her, carrying her, and changing her diapers since she was little, connected to Roanoke.

Weed, who was a legend, came in risking his life.

“No one has ever gone through hell.”

“Don’t worry too much. Weed is incredibly strong.”

Luria explained that if he could easily pass the third stage, he wouldn’t die easily.

Daye took a deep breath and asked.

“But what did Dad want you to tell me?”

“that is…….”

Luria hesitated for a moment.

Although he clearly remembered what Weed had said, including the atmosphere, he was worried about whether he could tell his daughter.

But I couldn’t come all this way and not tell you that.

Luria spoke, recalling even the intonation of what Weed had said.

“Don’t try to do anything.”

“… … .”

“This is what Weed wanted me to tell you.”
