Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (47)
The first emperor to unify the continent of Versailles.
A skill possessed by Emperor Geihar von Arpen, giving life to sculptures!
‘It was the first secret of sculpting I learned.’
In the beginning when I became a sculptor, I wasn’t very good at giving life to sculptures.
In Royal Road, the sculpting skill had to be at an advanced level to be used, and each time the skill was used, the level decreased by two.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to hire a mercenary? Create subordinates by sacrificing two precious levels?’
Yet, when given life, the sculptural creatures always did their best to earn their keep.
Although they sometimes complained that they were incompetent, stupid, and lazy, they never had a subordinate as trustworthy as they were.
“Skill check. Bring the sculpture to life.”
Bringing Life to a Sculpture: Turns a sculpture into a living creature. Depending on the artistic value, material, and shape of the sculpture, you can create a special creature.
Restrictions: Requires Beginner Sculpting Level 5
Skill Requirement: Art stat 10, level 2 down
caution!
The sculptures have strong pride and individuality, so they do not like sculptures that look similar to themselves.
It was a description similar to Royal Road, but slightly different.
‘The sculpting skill limit is lower than Royal Road.’
(Because there are few users who can use it anyway.)
‘That’s true. It’s hard to learn how to give life to sculptures, and if you don’t use it well, it’s a skill that can completely ruin you.’
Weed acquired the skill by spending a whopping 6 legend points from the legend library.
It’s not like I didn’t have any worries even while learning.
‘If it’s this legendary point, then… … .’
There are many skills in the Legendary Library that are worth their price.
It was a shame that I had to learn how to give life to sculptures in order to pass the Hell difficulty level.
(A white raccoon scarf with cold resistance costs 5 hero points.)
(The Flame Helmet can be purchased for 7 Hero Points.)
(The Warm Exploration Top costs 9 Hero Points.)
(Thermal Protection Ring costs 1 Legendary Point.)
If you choose winter gear, you need multiple pieces to cover your entire body.
Sure, it was cheaper than learning to bring sculptures to life, but there was a critical problem.
(It will be difficult to resell purchased equipment to users or stores.)
‘What? Why?’
(Ice resistance gear doesn’t sell well either, and cold resistance gear is treated as trash.)
‘There must be cold places in Roanoke too.’
(There are few users in the northern region, and the natives are trained from a young age and walk around with their upper bodies off.)
Since it was equipment that I had to keep and not resell, it would have been better to learn how to give life to sculptures.
‘In Roanoke, the art stat increases quite well.’
It’s very difficult to drop your level, but fortunately, it’s a low-level section where you can’t stand in front of your daughter right now.
‘It’s about utilizing sculptures that are higher than the Art stat and Masterpieces. And the sculptured creatures will be useful when dealing with the powerful boss monsters of Roanoke.’
When dealing with boss monsters with subordinates, having fragmented creatures can be a great help.
There was one more reason that was crucially important.
‘My daughter liked the Bingryong doll.’
I used to be a sculptor, but I didn’t plan on becoming a sculptor.
I’ll just suck up the sweet water of the little bit of sculpting and then dry it.
Weed stood in front of a giant ice dragon statue.
“Bring life to sculptures!”
You have brought the Ice Dragon statue to life.

In Royal Road, Bingryong missed his old master.
One day, two days, three days.
As time passed, Weed did not appear.
-Are you not coming back?
Although Bingryong was weak when he was first born, he grew up very quickly.
The master who should show his enhanced power does not come.
– Have we been abandoned by our master?
Weed wanted the users of the Versailles continent to be free to move around and for the fragmented life forms to be free.
But the real sculptures missed Weed because he didn’t come.
―The owner nags a lot and gets angry easily, but he isn’t a bad person.
-We ignored them because we were weak, but that was because we really were weak.
―You said it was useless. If we get to know it better, it actually has many uses.
The year changed, and more and more time passed, but Weed still did not appear.
-We are family.
-Let’s not break up.
Wyverns, gold diggers, and yellow diggers.
Although the fragmented creatures stuck together tightly, Bingryong felt lonely.
A life that is difficult to live with other sculpted creatures because their huge bodies are made of ice.
As he grows stronger, he must live alone in places far from the city, as the temperature around him drops.
And as more time passed, things happened in reality.
“We are developing a new virtual reality. Can you give us the technology that Unicorn can use as a reference?”
There was an earnest request from Abyss, and Unicorn provided technical support and a large amount of data.
Abyss requested again.
“I have received the materials you sent me. They are really helpful for development. We create the main content and the world ourselves, but we do not have enough manpower and resources to handle all the details like Royal Road. It may be a difficult request, but could you send me the sculpting and some of the components as well?”
This time, Unicorn Company gave us a lot of materials related to sculpting.
The vast amount of data contained the secrets of sculpting and sculpted life forms for reference, but since sculpting itself was an unpopular profession, neither the sender nor the receiver paid much attention to it.
“But even if we develop virtual reality, Abyss will probably just use it as a reference.”
“Our company’s developers wouldn’t just use it as is.”
The expectations of the Unicorn and Abyss external cooperation teams and the attitudes of the developers were completely different.
“You handed it over from Unicorn? That’s great. We were pressed for time with the development schedule, so let’s just use it as is.”
As time passed, Roanoke was opened, and the sculpting data was used sporadically.
The overall atmosphere and setting of Roanoke combined with the fact that there were very few sculptor users.
“Some people point out that sculpting reminds them of Royal Road.”
“Team Leader, when that day comes after a year has passed, all the sculptors will die quickly.”
“Well, there aren’t that many left now.”
Besides the developers, Abyss’s artificial intelligence also failed to find any problems with the sculpting.
Although there is data from Royal Road in the life-giving sculpture, it is difficult to guess that it will be taken out again.
(If there is no user who has learned how to give life to a sculpture.)
(What if you gave life to a sculpture that looked exactly like Royal Road?)
(The memories of the fragmented life form remaining in the sculpting data can be utilized.)
(The memories of fragmented life forms do not affect the balance of the world.)
A fragmented life form that shares the memories of Royal Road.
You are not born stronger or given special abilities.
So, Bingryong slowly opened his eyes, being granted frozen life.
Knock knock knock.
Bingryong closed his eyes and opened them, and surprisingly, there was an owner he hadn’t seen in a long time.
Even though a long time had passed, he never forgot the sight of his master who had given him life.
-Kurrrrrrr.
The master who was the object of both affection and resentment.
The time I hated him was so long that I even thought about forcing him to surrender if we ever met again.
Shouldn’t I repay all the sorrow and resentment I’ve suffered so far?
But in order to do that, I worked harder and became stronger.
‘Why do we live like this?’
Bingryong saw Weed wearing rags.
He must have been suffering from such severe cold that his face was pale and bloodless, and he was missing six fingers.
What’s more, even his right ear had fallen off.
‘If you abandoned us, why don’t you at least live well? Why…?’
It was a cold that even Bingryong had never felt before.
How much earnest desire must there have been to create a sculpture in such a freezing cold place and give it life?
Did he lose his fingers to carve himself to call himself, and endure the ice storm seen from afar with his body?
-Krrrrrr.
Bingryong couldn’t vent his resentment, anger, and sorrow towards Weed, who was dressed in rags and was covered in wounds.
Even though he hadn’t seen her for a long time, he thought that her master wanted to see him.
If not, there is no way he would have been able to give himself new life in a place like this.
-Ugh… …Ugh.
Bingryong lowered his huge body and bowed his head to the ground.
Looking at Weed at eye level, he said the words he had only said to one person for the first time in a long time.
-master…….
* * *
Royal Road, which ruled an era.
It was the first fully virtual reality, and although many virtual realities have come out since then, none have surpassed Royal Road.
It’s Bingryong.
Born from ice, it really moves. It’s an overwhelming sight.
Wow… … . That’s amazing.
Bringing life to a sculpture… …. I never thought I would see a living thing being born through the secrets of sculpting.
Bringing life to sculptures. Using that filthy skill in Roanoke… … Weed actually seems to really like sculpting.
Royal Road’s Ice Dragon will be flying in Roanoke too!
Royal Road users had a deep interest in and affection for Bingryong.
King of monsters.
A gigantic creature known as the dragon of dragons.
There were many reviews saying that it was beautiful and cute at the same time.
Is Bingryong that strong?
Yeah, because it’s a dragon.
You can see what absolute strength is.
When the northern part of the continent suddenly became cold, an ice dragon flew across the distant sky.
When Ice Dragon came to Morata, it was really a jackpot. It was about 5 years ago. Ice Dragon came to Morata in the middle of summer. The castle, the walls, and the buildings were frozen white, and snow fell from the sky… … . It turned into an ice kingdom.
This is no joke. Seriously.
I never thought I’d see the sight of Weed creating an ice dragon and giving it life. Really.
Beautiful and strong. The ultimate life form that fits perfectly with the frozen land.
Viewers thought that the ice dragon created on the frozen ground suited them very well.
The very sight of the giant sculpture moving and coming to life is amazing and magical.
Bingryong bent down and met Weed’s eyes.
-master…….
Without saying anything, Weed stroked Bingryong’s snout with his right hand, which only had two fingers left.
This sight left a deep impression on the viewers.
It’s touching. Really…
Was it for this moment that Weed endured the cold on the frozen ground!
Ice Dragon raised his body, spread his wings majestically, and roared.
-Kurarararararara!
Since it was first given life, the audience’s reaction has exploded again.
That’s it.
It’s the roar of the ice dragon.
A majestic sight that takes the breath away of even the largest monsters.
Bingryong is back!
As Bingryong was about to take a step, he stumbled and fell down.
Quadadang!
He didn’t just slip on the ground, he spread his wings and struggled to keep from falling before falling forward.
A situation where you are pushed back for 30 meters.
I fell down and couldn’t get up right away, and I couldn’t control my body.
Why is Bingryong like that?
Brings back memories. It used to be like that.
The iceberg is back.
