The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend - Chapter 19

Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (19)

In Ashford, the capital of the Kingdom of Ribade, there was a palace made of gold.

A large city filled with noble mansions and commercial facilities.

Weed recalled memories of his rookie days at Serabourg Castle.

‘There was a time when I made rabbit and fox sculptures in the square and put buckets on them.’

(This is a difficult method to use in Roanoke. Many people are frugal with even a single silver coin.)

In Royal Road, there was a romanticism among users who kept souvenirs.

Every time a large-scale battle or quest occurs, you have the opportunity to sell souvenirs by putting them on the table!

There were too many users in Roanoke who had a hard time making a living.

‘If you create a masterpiece, a masterpiece sculpture, people will notice.’

(Maybe there will be people who recognize the owner.)

Past relationships.

If there is a member of the Hermes Guild, there is no reason not to take out a sword first.

‘The sculpture might be stolen by the Line Guild here.’

(Somehow, it seems like you adapt very quickly.)

Weed stayed in Hell difficulty, and it had only been a few minutes since he had been in a place where people were.

Still, I quickly got a feel for the city’s atmosphere.

‘You could say this is the result of early education. If you eat a lot of food that you have to watch out for from a young age, this is what happens.’

Exceptional survival skills and adaptability to survive in any environment.

Weed found something to do with the equipment and materials he had collected from Hell difficulty.

Land! Land! Land!

In Ashford, a blacksmith’s street was formed.

In Roanoke, a place where monsters and rebellions occur frequently, the blacksmith shop is a place crowded with people day and night.

“You want to fill the empty spot in the blacksmith shop?”

“Yes.”

Weed went to a blacksmith shop called Flowing Iron, which had many customers.

The owner was an NPC and a resident of Roanoke, but it was more convenient for him than for the user.

“You have to pay 50 gold per hour for the seat.”

“Ahem. That’s expensive.”

“Aren’t you going to use the stove? Do you know how expensive wood has become these days because of the monsters?”

Weed’s body trembled slightly.

It was the first expenditure in Roanoke.

(Master received 100,000 gold in Hell difficulty.)

‘know.’

(Isn’t 50 gold a small amount?)

‘I know it in my head, but it’s not easy to accept it.’

Despite managing astronomical amounts of money in reality, in virtual reality, he trembled over just 1 gold.

(Haggling in Roanoke is impossible without skills. I recommend just using this blacksmith shop since it is cheaper than the others.)

‘I never knew the world would change like this.’

Weed paid 50 gold and sat down in the empty seat.

Users constantly come and go to the blacksmith shop to have their equipment repaired and made.

A hot fire is burning in the furnace.

‘It’s been a while.’

There was no need to strike iron in reality.

Nevertheless, when I picked up the hammer, old memories came back to me.

Memories of trying to level up my blacksmithing skills in the dwarf village.

(Before we begin, there is some information I need to tell you in advance.)

‘huh?’

(It’s been a long time, more than 20 years since Royal Road was developed. Users have become less and less interested in the arduous and difficult work of blacksmithing.)

‘What are you talking about?’

Weed didn’t quite understand.

Blacksmithing, sewing, shipbuilding, cooking, building, fishing, farming.

Are you not interested in the fruits of your labor that come back with a greater sense of satisfaction than the sweat you shed?

Come to think of it, the number of users in the fairly large blacksmith shop was quite small, and most of them were residents of Roanoke.

(Automatic production has been applied to virtual reality released in recent years.)

‘What is automatic production?’

(Once you start working, your body will move on its own to produce. You will hammer iron to create weapons and armor.)

Roanoke was a world on the verge of destruction, but it couldn’t completely exclude the convenience of its users.

Introducing automation in many areas of production.

‘The body moves and produces on its own?’

(Yes.)

‘Isn’t it more boring to just wait?’

(You can craft items faster depending on your skill level. You feel less physical fatigue from repetitive tasks, and you can kill time by whispering to other people.)

Weed felt that the world was changing a lot as time passed.

Nevertheless, I was angry that the value of sacred labor was being ignored.

‘The bear carrying bricks. When I was young, I felt so proud when I sweated and carried 6,000 bricks at a time. These days, even robots do this.’

Weed thought something was seriously wrong.

‘Automatic function? As expected, artificial intelligence is the enemy of humans.’

(……It’s a logical leap. Anyway, that doesn’t mean that direct production is not done like in the past.)

‘Is it possible to do it the old way?’

(You can. If you make the item yourself, the results will vary greatly depending on the skill of the worker.)

The fact that the blacksmith’s skills are reflected in the results has been a natural way of doing things since Royal Road.

Even if your skill level is high, the effort and concentration to make it as good as possible are essential.

However, these days, virtual realities produce results by multiplying stats, characteristics, skill levels, and materials by a certain probability.

‘I’ll show you what sacred labor is.’

Weed heated the iron in the fire and then began hammering it.

earth!

The elasticity created by striking the iron pushes the hammer back just the right amount.

earth!

The feeling of hitting the hammer on Royal Road, which had been dormant for a while, came back to me.

Land! Land! Land!

Find the right amount of strength and position for the hot iron bar and strike it briskly.

The sound of pure water flowing through the blacksmith shop was spreading.

“What, what is it?”

“This sound… … .”

The people of Roanoke.

It was enough to focus the attention of the blacksmiths.

Roanoke’s live streams have been gaining worldwide popularity.

Roanoke Live Streaming Surpasses 400 Million Concurrent Viewers

U.S. companies are experiencing disruptions as employees don’t show up to work because of Roanoke.

Battle of Sanken, watched by 25 million people in France

In a matter of days, watching Roanoke became a top pastime for real people.

“Did you see that he didn’t back down until the very end?”

“There was nowhere to run when the monsters laid siege.”

When people gathered, they talked about Roanoke.

Although it was a bigger success than Abyss had expected, there was some backlash from the media and the public.

Abyss, Unauthorized Opening of Users’ Play Video Streaming

Abyss, who still hasn’t come to his senses

Most countries have condemned Abyss and pointed out that the live viewing function should be blocked even by making laws, but they have faced strong opposition.

Families of the Roanoke victims voiced their opposition.

“Our children are in there. We don’t know how they will die, and we don’t want them to die suddenly.”

“I hope you don’t deny me the opportunity to see my husband just a little longer.”

“I know all this is cruel, but it’s so cruel to not be able to see your family when you could.”

Through Abyss’ live streaming, I was able to see my family, who may die at any moment.

Not only did governments find it difficult to block the wishes of the victims’ families, but their own people did not want it.

This was thanks to the continued worldwide interest in Roanoke.

Streamers who thrive on popularity among the public have actively jumped into this field.

Not only streamers in IT, gaming, and virtual reality, but also streamers in pets, camping, music, etc.

Streamers from almost every genre broadcasted Roanoke.

“Arensa. It’s a very beautiful city in Roanoke. There are a lot of users in that city right now.”

They’re all gathered together.

The city is teeming with users.

It seems like he stays in the city because he is afraid of the hunting grounds.

This is a peaceful place, so the users are gentle.

There are big differences from region to region. It’s really scary to risk your life hunting monsters.

But if we continue like this, we won’t be able to stop the monsters from breeding.

How can you hunt outside the gates when you could die today?

“It is indeed dangerous. I have been looking through the footage of Roanoke. In hunting grounds with abundant food, such as forests, the number of monsters is increasing at a frightening rate.”

Since we don’t hunt, monsters breed freely.

Pioneer villages are swept away if you let your guard down.

The problem is that the power of monsters that live in groups is growing stronger. Things like goblins, lizardmen, and orcs. It seems like waves of monsters will form and rush into the city.

Are the monsters waging a siege?

Yeah, there are quite a few intelligent monsters. There are also monsters that use siege weapons. There is also a monster kingdom.

That place is seriously no joke;;;

If you just stay here, you die, if you go hunting, you die, your life is limited.

To real people, Roanoke was a world where everything could be seen.

A world that begins with fear and terror and heads toward destruction.

In the back alleys, transactions such as drugs and prostitution are frequent, and some guilds have opened their eyes to power and authority.

There are many people who gather people and use coercive power to gain profits.

This is a dead end.

It’s the opening scene so I can’t take my eyes off it.

This is dystopia.

I’m not even going to work and I’m just looking around Roanoke.

There were so many people watching Roanoke that 24 hours a day was not enough.

The names of famous villains became known publicly because the incidents they created were of primal interest.

They beat me up and took my money because I was low level.

This is no joke. If you keep doing this, you’ll end up dead.

Surely they wouldn’t kill him. In Roanoke, that’s murder.

Since it’s a character, I don’t think you’ll think about killing it directly.

Videos related to Roanoke are so popular that they are sweeping the top 100 rankings on video platforms.

The name Weed also spread quickly among them.

The ultimate magic explodes in the abandoned castle of the third stage of Hell!

“The power of magic is tremendous. Weed is the one who completely destroys the third stage of Hell!”

“Undead, undead, and more undead. It’s a great day to get completely drunk on the return of skeletons.”

“It’s like Weed, who led the revival of necromancers in Royal Road.”

Just ignore the terrible pain of the aftereffects of forbidden magic.

Streamers were amazed as they relayed the scene.

“It’s rough. It’s really rough.”

“It was horrible to look at, but were you able to endure it?”

“Weed is no joke. Seriously.”

Barton, Sen, and Luria.

Although it wasn’t as exciting as the three people who watched it in person, I could feel the excitement while watching it on the monitor.

This is a stark contrast to the fact that many Roanoke users are still hiding out for their own safety.

“Weed successfully cleared the third stage of Hell in Roanoke!”

“A first! A miraculous feat, the first of its kind in Roanoke!”

While the streamers cheered, the newly arrived middle-aged viewers wrote as if they were calm.

This is something familiar to Mr. Weed.

I came. I saw. I woke up.

Everyone said he couldn’t break it, but since he was Weed, of course he knew he could break it.

The Hellfire difficulty level looks a bit easy, doesn’t it?

I felt the same way when I completed all the S-rank difficulty quests on Royal Road by myself.

In reality, even B-class quests are at a level where you have to lay corpses with your companions to clear them.

Streamers were in a position where they had to secure diverse viewers.

While Roanoke was doing very well, I decided to do a regular broadcast of Weed.

“Mr. Weed has taken a vacation. He must have gone from Roanoke to a big, developed city, so he must have been resting for a week. It’s called Golden Week. Golden Week.”

That can’t be true.

Streamers these days who don’t know anything about Weed.

In our time, it was impossible not to know about weed.

Oh, Mr. Weed, are you enjoying your vacation? These days, if it’s a gag code, it’s really funny.

I don’t know, but I don’t know for a long time.

The viewers’ reaction was very strange.

The streamers were just going to have Weed eat something delicious and rest, and then move on to another user’s broadcast.

Weed was about to start working in the blacksmith shop.

“Oh, um. I guess he’s going to do some blacksmith work. Maybe he’s just trying to warm up a little?”

This section is not very exciting compared to the difficulty of hell.

The streamers tried to explain slowly.

Blacksmith Weed!

A scoundrel has appeared!

After all, it’s fundamental.

Blacksmithing, sewing, cooking, architecture, shipbuilding, painting.

Weed is weeding.
