Most of the guilds that tried to recruit Weed approached him knowing that he was a sculptor.
A sculpture for their guild.
That was their motivation for inviting him to a guild. It seemed that nothing of that sort would happen in Herman’s guild.
“Alright. How do I join?”
“I can invite you. It’s a privilege given to all members who has been part of the guild for over a year.”
Ding!
— Herman has invited you to the Travelers of the Wilderness guild.
Information about Travelers of the Wilderness guild
Members: 25
Guild Leader: Vacant
Alignment: Good
Hostile Guilds: None
Hostile Kingdom: None
Only after a certain amount of time since becoming a member will you see detailed information on the guild.
Do you want to accept this invitation?
Guilds that are at war or are hostile with other guilds make players reluctant to join, but if the guild is neutral, there is nothing to lose.
“I’ll join.”
Ding!
— You have joined the Travelers of the Wilderness guild.
Just then, the new guild popped up in Weed’s message window.
— Sabrina: Welcome to the guild, new member!
— Pin: Welcome.
— Edwin: It’s a pleasure to meet you.
A guild that welcomed its new member!
Looking at the guild member list, there were 24 people on out of 26, including Weed.
Though you could say the activity was on an extreme level, since there were only 3 people who welcomed him.
— Weed: Hello, I’m Weed. To all the guild members, nice to meet you.
— Herman: It seems that other people are busy hunting or doing quests. In our guild, there are a lot of people who completely turn off their guild messages. So if there’s something you need, you’ll need to register them personally as friends and talk to them that way.
— Weed: I understand.
— Pin: But Herman grandpa, didn’t you say Art Hand-nim was joining too?
— Herman: What are you saying? The one who joined just now is Art Hand.
— Pin: No way. The one who joined is Weed. Please check it, grandpa.
— Herman: There’s no way I’m wrong. I invited Art Hand when I was personally raising my hand towards him….. Huh, how did this happen? As Pin said, the one who joined is really Weed.
As soon as Weed joined, he immediately set his level and profession to hidden.
He didn’t want to be too friendly with this guild yet. He was reluctant to expose himself to a guild whose members he didn’t know.
However, his name was seen as is.
— Weed: I am that Art Hand.
— Herman: Are you really that Dwarven sculptor Art Hand?
— Weed: Yes. But I’m not a Dwarf.
— Herman: You’re not a Dwarf?
— Weed: Due to circumstances, as of now I’m pretending to be a Dwarf.
— Pin: Art Hand, it’s good to see you, but what do you mean, you’re not a Dwarf? You’re a perfectly short Dwarf… Ack! I’m really sorry for saying Dwarves are short. Anyways, are you not the same race as Herman grandpa?
— Weed: I’m not.
— Pin: Then what is your original race?
— Weed: Human.
Herman, who was blankly standing next to Weed, suddenly realized something.
The incredible sculptures Weed made and the sight of him doing the Sculptor quests, and the time when he made the Wings of Light.
There was a thought glancing through Herman’s mind.
— Herman: A Human as well as the sculptor Weed…. No way, the Lord of Morata?
— Weed: That’s me.
Chapter 10: Travelers of the Wilderness
Once it was known that Weed was the Lord of Morata, the guild chat window became very active for a brief period.
There were even 2~3 people who were lurking came out to greet him. Pin and Herman were shocked, saying they really hadn’t known.
“After all, there probably aren’t many people with your level of sculpting”.
Herman said this with a smile.
In retrospect, it was strange that an outstanding Dwarven sculptor had suddenly appeared. The world of Dwarf craftsmen was small, so it would be known if any skilled Dwarves came along.
In that regard, Herman was also incredibly famous figure. He was a Blacksmith, the likes of which could be counted with just ten fingers, in not just Kuruso, but in the entire the Versailles Continent!
Although he hadn’t produced many goods, it’s because he poured his soul into making just one sword, his name was still widely spread. He was so famous that he didn’t pale in comparison with Weed.
“Did you change your face and appearance at a Dwarf shrine?”
“As a result, I am roughly similar.”
It was possible to receive a temporary blessing from the shrine and adopt a Dwarf’s appearance.
However, that particular method costs a lot of money, and he would have to make a special donation to the Priests. On top of that, it was a special type of blessing which could not be received if the player’s contribution to the shrine was too low.
“Anyway, how amusing.”
With a laugh, Herman passed over the matter.
People in the Travelers of the Wilderness guild did not probe and prod for details. Rather than asking a question for their curiosity, they decided to just cover up the secret.
Although the guild was mainly engaged in personal chatter, this time it was Weed’s turn to be surprised.
— Sabrina: Edwin.
— Edwin: Yes, Ma’am.
— Sabrina: Have you ever hunted Claude by yourself?
— Edwin: Many times. Their sap can be used to produce a healing agent.
Claude is a monster around level 380.
Medicine made from the sap of a Claude could help one recover from a severe injury if they applied it and rested. While it pales in comparison to a Priest’s healing magic, it was still traded in minute quantities at high prices every day.
In case the Priest died or suffered a really large injury during a battle, it was a good idea to pack backup medicine, just in case.
— Sabrina: Do you think I can kill one?
— Edwin: Yeah, pretty easily. It has low Health so you can defeat it right away. Where are you hunting right now?
— Sabrina: Cave of Echo.
— Edwin: Getting to where Claude is, is the only troublesome part, hunting them isn’t that hard, you just have to go straight through.
— Sabrina: Thank you.
Though this was obvious just by looking at Herman, the level of this guild’s members wasn’t normal. There weren’t any trivial questions normally asked by beginners.
Even after the truth about Weed being Morata’s Lord was revealed, there was merely a brief conversation out of surprise that soon faded out.
‘This doesn’t seem like an average guild.’
Lee Hyun accessed the Dark Gamer union’s guild information forums. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he went into the thread for the Travelers of the Wilderness.
