The Dwarves boast that if they have the armor and weapons they made, they can block even Breath attacks and can cut through anything, they can even capture the evil dragon, Kaybern.
This might be the reason why their Blacksmithing skill was nurtured, but the possibility that this is true is nonexistent!
Even in paintings, as long as their opponent isn’t a dragon, the Dwarves don’t know the meaning of fear and retreat.
Sculpt a courageous Dwarf warrior.
Difficulty: E
Reward: The weapon set that the Dwarf poorly made to relieve his boredom.
Quest Requirement: Must be a Sculptor.
You must make a bronze sculpture.
“I’ll get started right away.”
— You have accepted the quest.
He received this quest without even accepting the Rank F difficulty quest.
One could say that it he was good at getting job quests!
He had hope that there would always be a Sculptor quest anywhere he went.
In this way, he randomly received Sculptor-related requests.
‘Kuruso is a small place.’
There were no more than a thousand Dwarves living here.
There were a lot of empty buildings, and it was quiet for its size.
If there were no Elven or Human adventurers, it would truly become a lonesome place.
‘If I keep doing the sculptor requests, I guess there will be a request to sculpt some unknown thing.’
He thought that he would be able to find a clue at the very least.
However, even though he finished dozens of requests, a special request never appeared. Although the difficulty of the requests rose on average after he mentioned Iron Hand, they never exceeded rank D.
Chain quests were hard to find, and, at best, they introduced him to another Dwarf who needed a sculptor.
The scary thought that flitted through his mind at that moment!
‘This can’t be the limit for sculptor quests, can it?’
If he was a combat-related profession, he could just go adventuring.
There was no need to talk to go on an adventure. He could excavate a ruin, or study the local fauna and flora. He could capture a monster.
The interesting requests were linked together without an end.
Even priests were able to experience special rites that the Church had laid down.
However, he began to think that such quests were nonexistent for the sculptors in the first place.
‘That’s right. Even the quest to make a tomb for the King in the Rosenheim Kingdom was like this.’
It was a rank B difficulty sculptor quest!
If the difficulty was higher than the other commissions then experience and rewards would be greater and it might also give influences throughout the Versailles content.
But what made the tomb of the King so difficult was the physical labor needed to build it.
‘It was a task that could easily be done with simple workers. Furthermore, when sculpting the statue of the Goddess Freya, there were no special challenges.’’
Weed was proficient at laboring, and whenever a new job appeared, he accepted it with optimism.
It was true that he was scared of the other difficult sculpting requests in reality.
How troublesome would it be if there was a request to turn some gems worth tens of thousands of gold into a necklace that would be left behind in the world for centuries?
Weed gladly accepted simple labor, and had created a significant portion of his sculptures that way.
However, it seemed as though, while he was doing that, he had never earnestly thought about the sculptures.
‘It’s possible that the quests I receive through sculpting are stuck at this pitiful level.’
While he did specially make large statues, it could be that those were the limits of the sculpture requests.
It did not fit the image of a Sculptor to do things like search for a party, battle, or go on an adventure!
It might be better to hole up somewhere and create sculptures endlessly.
One could say that Tailors and Blacksmiths were in a similar situation, but whatever the case, he began to hold doubts that, as a Sculptor, he might not be able to go adventuring.
‘No. Damn it. This is reality. There can’t be any Sculptor who goes on adventures, can there?’
Weed fell into despair.
Every day, the Predators of the Land Guild and Daymond were gaining more and more attention.
The reason the Humans were concerned about this incident was because it was about time they went to hunt the King Griffin in the Havelin Gorge.
It was considered impossible to kill the King Griffin!
They went on countless adventures to the Land of the North to hunt the Yellow Griffins.
As Griffins could fly in the sky, they had high agility, and were clever, thus they were considered suicidal to hunt.
The Havelin Gorge was a place that lured many adventures to their deaths.
Daymond and the Predators of the Land Guild entered the Havelin Gorge fearlessly.
The clever Griffins lightly greeted the intruders by rolling boulders on them and tossing branches at them while airborne.
However, the Griffins will not use any frontal attack.
‘If you want to come further, then come. There is no way you bastards will be able to survive.’
This terrified them, and with night raids every night they had to watch their surrounding carefully.
They were about the third of the way into the Gorge, which was too far to turn around, the Griffins’ attacks began in earnest.
The Predators of the Land Guild experienced a series of deaths. Words of their failed attempt were up for discussion.
Other guilds laughed at the Predators of the Land guild for their recklessness.
“Unless you’re crazy, you can’t challenge the Havelin Gorge.”
There are other guilds who had larger military strength compared to The Predators of the Land guild. Nevertheless, they would not dare to challenge a dangerous area such as Havelin Gorge.
Especially when defeat was guaranteed.
Because their guild had high prestige, they would be the focus of all players in the Versailles continent. If they were to fail, their reputation would drop significantly.
Additionally, even if they were successful, if many of the core players died, they would suffer great losses.
Although the guilds occasionally exercised their military strength, they were very cautious about it. Therefore the Predators of the Land guild were ridiculed for fearlessly challenging the Havelin Gorge.
“Since they’re leading the guild recklessly, they will fail and end up lost in the North.”
Nevertheless, the Daymond and the Predators of the Land Guild continued to stay strong despite their losses.
However, they were anxious because of the Griffins.
Because Griffins were aerial monsters, only arrows and magic could slay them.
Nonetheless, there was a place of refuge for them.
Griffins’ nest was in the centre of the Havelin Gorge!
In the nest, there were baby Griffins that did not have wings or knew how to fly.
After the Predators of the Land guild, led by Daymond, arrived at the nest and started a terrible and bloody fight, they obtained an unbelievable victory.
In order to kill the Griffin King, they had to capture 35 little Griffins. The value of successfully capturing and taming one Griffin in an aerial battle, was enormous.
There was a movie in real-time of the battle in Havelin’s Gorge posted on the Hall of Fame. Many lost their lives in the battle but the guild fought until the Griffin King had been killed which impressed many of the viewers.
People were completely captivated by the Predators of the Land Guild’s recklessness.
Weed’s concerns about the value of the sculpting request was deepening.
