Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (62)

Sculptures made on frozen ground.

The sculptures of Weed and Seoyoon were created first, and then the baby born between them was carved.

‘When my daughter was first born, she was really small. I had no idea she would grow as tall as me.’

(To be exact, it is 2.3cm taller than its owner.)

A baby who ate well and grew well.

Even though parenting is hard, one look at the baby’s smiling face melts away all the fatigue.

(If you had a son, how would you have raised him?)

‘I would have raised him with love just like that.’

(If my son had fallen into Roanoke, would you have come to rescue him?)

Weed thought that it was not good parenting to discriminate between sons and daughters.

However, if there was a son in Roanoke who looked exactly like him, I don’t think I would be too worried.

Because there is faith that you will adapt perfectly and live well.

‘If Seo-yoon hadn’t been sick, I might have had another son.’

Weed carved a happy Seo-yoon, and also carved a sculpture of himself and his daughter out of ice.

A family sculpture that feels like a family photo.

It was more than 95% identical to the real thing.

The only difference is that the mysteriousness of Seo-yoon’s appearance was not realized, and Weed’s nose was more pointed and his shoulders were slightly wider than in real life.

Please give a name to the sculpture you created.

It was natural to ask what the sculpture’s name was.

From the beginning of the work, when Seoyoon was created, the goddess’ blessing was granted at least 15 times.

It gives a lot of art stats and also gives special durability to sculptures.

“family.”

Weed thought that he couldn’t be given any other name.

There was a time when I made a sculpture of my family on a high mountain in Royal Road.

A sculpture that was with my grandmother and younger sister at that time.

As time passed, Seo-yoon and her daughter were now together.

Tiring!

Masterpiece! The family statue has been created.

The coldest and most dangerous place in the frozen land.

A sculptor of the century’s talent carved ice to create an amazingly magnificent work of art.

A sculpture that works miracles.

The god of art watched over the creation of this piece.

The happy face of a beautiful woman, more beautiful than anyone in Roanoke, is expressed in exquisite sculptural detail.

A rather ordinary man and a beautiful baby are completed together.

An ordinary man compared to Seo-yoon, who is more beautiful than anyone in Roanoke.

Weed was satisfied with this explanation.

‘If I can look ordinary while being next to Seo-yoon, then my expressiveness is okay.’

Every time she walked down the street with me, she was met with jealousy and suspicion from countless people.

When I went on a trip abroad to Hawaii with Seo-yoon, I received a lot of notes.

If you have been kidnapped, raise your right hand.

Is the man next to you dangerous?

I’m ready to help. Does the man have a gun?

* * *

Pale, Calis, and Roam were very busy.

Dove: The Wild Roar Guild continues to invade our territory.

Pale: In what way?

Dove: Comes to restaurants, eats food, and is bossy towards other users.

Pale: You didn’t try drying it?

Dove: When a strong user leaves, they apologize and go back, but they come back again and look down on us.

Dove: It seems like you’re being greedy for the business premises and hunting grounds our guild owns.

The Roanoke Incident occurred and ordinary users were forced to accept the oppression and exploitation of large guilds.

It has become a world where, in order to survive, you have no choice but to give whatever you ask for.

Large guilds had complicated circumstances, and if they were pushed back even once in a power struggle, they were finished.

Some guilds even started fights, similar to the way syndicate gangs fought for power in the past, while others even declared war officially.

“We have no intention of attacking anyone. We are a group of users who just enjoy playing Roanoke.”

The Arpen Guild claimed to be neutral, but its size was too large to attract attention from other places.

Since the Roanoke incident, even the weaker guilds have been taking them lightly and constantly making threats.

“Lord Weed, it’s been a while since I’ve seen such a wonderful sculpture. I think I have some business to attend to, so I’ll have to go back to the Kingdom of Leon.”

“okay.”

“We will be happy to welcome you next time you come to the Kingdom of Leon.”

Pale didn’t give a detailed explanation.

He was a companion who shared the joys of Royal Road, and now he came to Roanoke prepared to share his life.

Still, I didn’t want to complain to Weed, who was going through hell difficulty, about the difficulties the Arpen Guild was facing.

‘Is the situation at the Arpen Guild difficult?’

(There is friction with surrounding guilds, but it is not at a level where war breaks out or is dangerous.)

Weed knew everything through the AI’s report, and he just didn’t express it now.

Because when I become truly strong, there will be ample opportunity to repay Pale’s help.

I also said goodbye to Kalis and Roam.

“Thank you all for your help. I’ll see you sometime when I get through the Inferno difficulty.”

“Ahem. It wasn’t too bad since I was able to complete the S difficulty quest together with you. I hope to see you next time.”

“Weed, I look forward to seeing you in Roanoke.”

The two knew that Weed would die if they failed the Inferno difficulty level, but they never thought that they would never see him again.

There was a scene shown while fighting in Sullium, and it felt like his sculpting skills had improved overwhelmingly.

‘He’s a guy who’ll survive even if he goes to hell. Hellfire is a perfect place for him.’

‘That bastard.’

They were very interested in the difficulty of Hell while watching Weed.

I already knew up to step 3, but I was curious about the next step, so I asked.

I thought that getting education at level 4 was just like that and skipped it.

But in stage 5, he won the arena without one arm and both eyes.

‘How can you fight if you can’t see with both eyes?’

‘Can you fight well even if I can’t see you?’

If another user had said that, I would have kicked them out and told them to stop talking nonsense, but since it was Weed’s words, it seemed like it was true.

‘A cockroach can survive even if its legs are cut off. So that guy can survive too.’

‘Even in stage 6, if it wasn’t for a quest, there was no reason for them to call us. They’re crazy guys who came all the way to the more dangerous polar regions to solve S-level difficulty quests.’

Kalis and Loam thought that Weed had deliberately come to the poles with his fingers and toes together to increase the difficulty.

I can think of this based on my experience watching from Royal Road.

Of course, Weed would have gladly walked to the poles if he knew there would be a reward.

‘The bad guy just got worse.’

‘What variables will Weed’s appearance in the life-or-death game cause?’

The three of them returned home through the quest portal with complicated emotions in their hearts.

Weed stood on the frozen ground and looked out at the scenery for a moment.

The half-ruined city of Sulium and the giant sculpture of Seoyoon.

Although there were sculptures of Weed and the baby together, most of the attention was focused on Seo-yoon and it was not easily visible.

‘It’s not a perfectly balanced sculpture.’

It can’t be helped since the differences in the models themselves are so great.

Weed was able to somewhat soothe his longing by looking at the giant statue of Seoyoon, and planned the remaining tasks for the future.

‘I need to make more sculptures.’

A gap of the past 20 years.

Physically, there has been tremendous improvement, and there is absolutely no room for improvement in swordsmanship.

He has to save his daughter, so his mental strength is close to infinite.

Still, there were changes in trends that had to be accepted.

‘I did everything I could to die alone in Royal Road.’

But in this day and age, clickers are all the rage.

Just click a button and others will do it for you.

There was a reason why Roanoke had automatic blacksmith production.

“You have to play the game yourself.”

“Don’t you know the joy of making things by hand? If you don’t enjoy making things one by one, what’s the point of being a blacksmith?”

Even regular users will change their minds after trying automatic production once.

Becoming intoxicated with the convenience of automated production.

‘You need to create enough low-level fragments of lifeforms to be called a legion.’

While you will have to bear the penalty of losing level by giving life to the sculpture, there are rewards for creating the sculpture.

Weed picked up a carving knife.

It was when I was trying to continue making sculptures on the frozen ground.

(Master, how about taking a nap for a little while?)

‘I’m a little tired.’

It wasn’t a little bit level.

All I could do was take a short nap in stage 5, and once I got to stage 6 I couldn’t sleep at all.

When exploring the frozen lands, life was on the line, and the same was true when preparing for battle in the city of Sulium.

I didn’t sleep at all while I was making the family statue.

‘Inject a stimulant into my body.’

(Master’s body has already been over-injected with stimulants.)

‘Is it dangerous?’

Weed has been experiencing extreme fatigue and has been recovering by taking stimulants repeatedly.

I already had an inkling that his physical condition might have worsened.

(It is not dangerous yet because the body’s detoxification ability is excellent. However, for an ordinary person, it would have been fatal.)

‘If you can hold out, it’s still okay.’

(Please let me use the 4 hours of sleep I’ve been holding in. I’ll make the sculpture in the meantime.)

‘What does that mean?’

The artificial intelligence Versa constantly analyzed Weed’s activities in Roanoke.

We also analyzed all the sculptures and historical records made in Roanoke.

(It is difficult to imitate the complex and emotional sculptures that the master creates.)

(But generally excellent sculptures. Masterpieces can be made in various ways by reverse-analyzing Roanoke’s system.)

The concept of automated production rather than art.

(While you sleep, master, I will move your body and create a sculpture for you.)

(You just have to create sculptures that are suitable for the fragmented life forms.)

‘Are you saying that you are replacing my body?’

(This can be replaced by using a chip implanted in the brain.)

Weed has been with the artificial intelligence Versa for a long time.

There was some faith in it because artificial intelligence was doing so many things in reality.

Moreover, if an AI were determined to harm itself, it would have done so countless times over the past 20 years.

‘Then try it somewhere.’

Click.
