Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (60)

Polon, the leader of the Blade Dragon Guild.

He heard news about Weed from a guild member.

“What? Frozen ground? Where is that?”

“It’s in a distorted crack.”

“I’ve heard of this place before, but isn’t it one that no one has explored until now?”

“To be exact, it was a place that was too dangerous to go. Weed fought the Lessers to save the city there, and created a portal that connects to Ashford.”

Polon had been concerned ever since he took Weed’s famous sword away from him.

Bad deeds are the kind of things that require expertise while looking at people.

If the Blade Dragon Guild stole the masterpiece sword made by Weed in Royal Road, it would be truly absurd to ignore the consequences.

‘It might not be the Weed I know. It’s been a long time.’

‘There are more than one or two blacksmiths who are good at manual labor.’

‘It’s manual production. It’s become a traditional method, but they say there are still blacksmiths who insist on manual production.’

I was living my life diligently turning the hope circuit, and this time I heard news about Weed one after another.

“You defeated the Lethargy attacking the city. And you did it in the dangerously twisted rift.”

“They say they are also making sculptures.”

“A sculpture?”

“We are creating a giant statue of Seoyoon on the frozen ground.”

Although many years have passed, it is a name that all men know.

He couldn’t forget the name of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

She had such artistic beauty that she was the object of romance for men, even if only in their imaginations.

“It proves that everything is perfectly fine.”

“They say there is also pale there.”

“Hmm.”

It was a situation where it was clear that the person who had the luxury sword stolen was Weed.

The Hermes Guild has remained strong since Royal Road.

Although some users left, there was a constant influx of highly skilled users.

Membership in the Hermes Guild is a symbol of power and honor.

Roanoke… … .

That looks fun.

Isn’t a world ruled by power attractive?

The Hermes Guild has many users who have been active since Royal Road.

In reality, as we age, aging gradually sets in, but in virtual reality, skills and experience become great assets.

“If you keep playing virtual reality games, it will become reality. There is no need to differentiate between reality and virtual reality.”

“High level and equipment. You can be the best in the new world.”

“We are the Hermes Guild. That’s the end of the story.”

The Hermes Guild has boasted its power in several virtual realities since Royal Road, including Seven Stars.

A prestigious guild that ruled over kingdoms and major cities.

[Important Notice] The Hermes Guild will be entering Roanoke, which is being released this time. Users who have been selected as the advance team are strongly encouraged to participate. It will start in Irvine, the capital of the Kingdom of Albrecht.

The Hermes Guild’s advance party of 1,000 men entered immediately when the gates of Roanoke opened.

The possible virtual reality was laid by the influx of Hermes Guild members.

They reported on Roanoke.

It’s more doable than you think.

The combat feels great, and even if you leave the castle and village area, monsters are plentiful.

The dying world adds to the immersion. The inhabitants, who seem ready to collapse and die at any moment, will do anything if you give them food.

I entered a strange village, and there were only corpses left. At night, the corpses started talking to me. It was quite scary and a unique experience.

Roanoke is seeing a rapid increase in new users. The gameplay experience has been pretty good so far.

The character growth part is well-equipped. You can become really strong in this day and age.

As you grow your character, you will eventually be able to play as a dragon. It also seems like the core war will be fought based on the main users.

The advance party reported to the Hermes Guild community that Roanoke was quite interesting and popular.

This was a report from users who have enjoyed various virtual realities since Royal Road.

The guild leadership made a decision.

[Important Notice] We will be sending additional troops to Roanoke. Applicants, please make a request.

The Hermes Guild expanded its power as it entered Roanoke.

You can defeat monsters at the guild level, and hunt them by forming parties with guild members.

They were users who had already worked together countless times, and there was active exchange of information and transactions within the guild.

Selling a rock-cleaving sword.

There is a knight helmet. It has good defense and durability.

There is an underground village beneath the well in the ruined village of Souren.

Can someone handle the Ithaca executioner? Thank you.

The fun of enjoying Roanoke as a member of the Hermes Guild, a guild that boasts history, tradition, and power.

The black dragon tattooed on his chest aroused the awe of other users.

“The Hermes Guild is in our city.”

“I heard there are already over 2,000 active users. The Kingdom of Albrecht will be taken over by the Hermes Guild.”

“They are the advance party. The main force hasn’t even arrived.”

The Hermes Guild members had fun growing quickly while being feared and envied by other users.

And seeing Roanoke’s growing popularity, the Hermes Guild made a final decision.

[Must Check. Important Notice] Roanoke has the same energy and atmosphere as the early days of Royal Road. That’s why we’re going to have the Hermes Guild join in earnest.

Tens of thousands of users, who could be called the main force of the Hermes Guild, started in Roanoke.

From the early users in the Magic Continent to the core users in Royal Road.

Since then, elite users with outstanding skills have been accepted and started in the Kingdom of Albrecht.

In terms of basic size, it was overwhelmingly larger than other guilds, and it constantly accepted new guild members to use as combatants.

There are five competing guilds in the Kingdom of Albrecht.

Except for the Nasos Guild, they are not worthy opponents when the main force is established.

It seems advantageous to expand power around ranches with pastures.

The Hermes Guild grew rapidly, overwhelming its rivals and emerging as the center of the Albrecht Kingdom.

It is called one of the top 10 guilds in Roanoke along with guilds in other kingdoms, but it is the organization with the best unity, fighting power, and substance.

The Hermes Guild was shaken by the Roanoke incident, but they quickly recovered from the shock.

“This is reality to me.”

“Will this be the end of Roanoke?”

“It’s a shame, but I guess it’s okay to die fighting with honor.”

As a guild that fights war to the bone, the organization was maintained intact.

Since the Roanoke incident, the guild’s solidarity has only grown stronger, and more people have joined.

However, the absence of the leader, Bardray, was a problem in the leadership.

“It just so happens that the problem occurred while the Commander was out for a moment.”

“Shouldn’t someone else step forward as the representative of the Hermes Guild?”

“I think you’ll come back again.”

“To here?”

“I trust you, Bardray.”

The strong belief of the early members of the Magic Continent and Royal Road, who held key stakes in the guild.

They believed in Bardray’s skills, which had steadily increased since Royal Road.

“Wait for Bardley. Does that make sense? We’re trapped, but risking our lives to get in is a different matter.”

“Right now, we need to find our center and build up our strength even a little, but there is a vacuum in the leadership.”

Recently, new guild members have been causing a stir and trying to put forward other members of the guild as their leader.

Jasper: Bardray has returned.

Jasper: Let the other guilds know about Bardray’s return, and normalize all external activities of the Hermes Guild.

Bardray has connected to Roanoke.

The members of the Hermes Guild willingly pledged their loyalty to him, who risked his life.

Although Weed saved the city of Sullium, he had no intention of challenging the lord based on his contribution.

Most of the neatly constructed buildings were destroyed by the war, and less than a tenth of the residents remained.

“Let go of the dead, now it’s up to us to live.”

“If I have bread to eat today, it’s not the worst.”

Residents who survived the destruction work hard to survive, clearing away the rubble of the city while harboring sorrow.

They avoided eye contact with Weed, who used the corpses of his family and friends as undead, and went about their business.

Children whose parents died and the disabled went into back alleys where they could survive.

‘The people are obedient.’

The people of Roanoke were quite tolerant and well-behaved when given minimal food.

But when their discontent grew and even their food was taken away, they rose up in large numbers.

“It’s a rebellion!”

“Let’s hang the lord!”

The townspeople rebelled, beheaded the lord, and boiled the nobles in cauldrons.

(Roanoke residents prioritize survival above all else.)

(That’s why there are disadvantages too.)

In Royal Road, when a lord lowers taxes and installs infrastructure, the number of blacksmiths increases in large numbers.

It has played a role in increasing technological capabilities and developing various products.

In Roanoke, on the other hand, there was a very big difference.

“There are only a few blacksmiths left in the city.”

“I think it’s just us.”

“Then let’s start by raising the prices of farm equipment.”

“Good. For the time being, I will not have any disciples teach me the techniques.”

“Because we need time to eat together.”

Blacksmiths collude to control production and technology.

The neighboring lords declared war.

“You dare lower taxes, do you intend to take away my people? This is unacceptable.”

Due to the nature of Roanoke, where disasters occur frequently, most of the relief supplies are taken by soldiers and nobles.

People lost their lives fighting among themselves to get as much food as possible.

The inhabitants are always at risk of becoming marauders, bandits, or rebels.

(If you provide them with a minimum of food and have a strong military, the people will not be able to resist any oppression.)

‘It’s quite a confusing place.’

The city of Sullium was left as a settlement in the frozen land.

(I think the quests of the God of Adventure, Trinity, will continue to be given here.)

(There will be numerous quests given, including food procurement.)

A settlement where minimal self-sufficiency should be the goal.

Weed had something he wanted to do before entering another distorted rift.

It feels a bit regretful to leave like this.

‘I hate to admit it, but everything is going well thanks to sculpting.’

Although I’ve been using sculpting to great advantage, I’ve been wondering if I can make sculptures as diligently as I do in Royal Road.

Sculptures made to gain legend points.

I didn’t give it up because it helped me solve quests here and there, but I was skeptical about whether I could fundamentally make better sculptures than Royal Road.

‘Sculpting… … is just remaking something that was made before. It’s just a part of the growth method, so it doesn’t matter.’

Even though sculpting lowered the difficulty of Roanoke by a few levels, I wasn’t confident that I could do better than Royal Road.

After exploring and fighting great battles while losing fingers and toes, I had an idea of ​​the statue I wanted to create at that moment.
