“I call together my sculptures of life!”
The sculptures of life throughout the Ahreupen Empire were awaiting his commands.
“You are not longer obliged to serve the humans. You have no orders and now can seek your own freedom!”
The Sculptures of Life were given their freedom!
With the death of the Emperor Geihar, the Sculptures of Life did not follow anyone's commands. The birds formed their own kingdom. The Joinjok family. The City of the Sky Lavias was a tribe that originated from the Sculptures of Life! Not only that. Uncommon monsters with various appearances such as Trolls and Ogres could be seen living in the deep forest and jungles. The sculptures of life had been many of their ancestors. They left to live in caves and jungles to avoid human life.
“Where did you come from?”
“Emperor Geihar made me when he was 35 years old.”
“Do not be rude. I was created when he was 25 years old.”
“I am sorry to have been rude, Sunbae nim.”
The rigorous system of the juniors and the seniors!
The Sculptures of Life built a world of their own and eventually found balance on the Continent of Versailles. Emperor Geihar made a number of monster sculptures of life that were well known. They did not feel a strong attachment to humans because they could not tolerate them. They began disputes and the destruction of the humans and would usually win the fights. The humans began to blame the monsters that Geihar had made. The Ahreupen Empire greatly declined and there was no longer an unified continent because the sculptures of life had left. Since then history books no longer talked of Emperor Geihar's sculptures of life. Their origins were soon forgotten. However deep in the east there were still some alive, far away from the humans.
Weed watched the video and trembled slightly.
“Sculptures of life were the origin of some monsters…”
It was limited to some monsters but it would be a fact that if it were known then sculpting would be condemned! It would increase the wariness towards sculptors. It would be even graver to the point that the awareness would cause the number of great sculptures to cease. Weed had a rotten smile on his face.
“It's not necessarily something that needs to be known.”
The truth was not always good. Sometimes you want to bury the truth in history. The Emperor Geihar von Arpen had made countless sculptures and some of them were nothing more than monstrosities.
“It's not something to can be seen. Even less to be known.”
Weed laughed like it was milk that was long past its expiration date.
“I’m fine. It’s better for you to eat.”
He had been eating herbs!
It would go unnoticed to others but not the this sculptor. Even if he knew, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Eummeoeoeoeoeo.
Suddenly Rover cried out and came into the room.
The cow did all he could to remain quiet.
“The herb roots will make you stronger and more energetic.”
Rover stood in gratitude as he rubbed his head.
He was weak to the owner's bribes and rewards. Weed had secretly thought this out so that it would have a profound impact on the Continent of Versailles.
“In the course of the sculpting quest, it's good to know the background information.”
A simple sculpting quest gave skill proficiency and a bit of compensation.
But the one that he had in progress was an adventure with a much higher difficulty for a sculpting quest since it involved the history of sculpting on the Continent of Versailles.
It was possible to discover sculpting skills that no one knew before. Sculptures had contributed a lot to the history of mankind. In primitive times, a hunter would be bestowed a sculpture to encourage courage and faith. Sculptures were three dimensional representations of all things fundamental. Art is not necessarily bound by existence. The extent that it had on the Continent of Versailles was amazing.
Chapter 10: Ghost Ship
“Unless you advanced you skills and learned the Give Life to Sculpture skill, then there would have been no one to have found the memories and legacy that the Emperor Geihar had left behind. Identify!” Weed used his skills to view the memories in the seal once more. He could see the past of the Niflheim Empire. The Emperor Geihar had made the Imperial Ahreupen War Seal which made its way to the Niflheim Empire.
The Knights' Empire.
The knights were known to be honorable and loyal as the human territory continued to expand throughout the barren north.
Then quite a long time passed. The once flourishing Niflheim Empire was invaded by monsters. Weed could see the invading monster army destroying the castle walls of the capital.
The legion of monsters along with dragons began the decimate the human made structures and with it the genocide of its people. So far, it was as it was told in the history books of the Continent of Versailles. The magical attacks were being rained down on the capital. The Imperial Palace was covered in a rain of fire! The Imperial Knights came out of the flaming structure. They failed to defeat the monsters and had no choice but to use the Serbian Ice Witch's Beads as a last resort.
Ttiring!
Agents of the Niflheim Empire(2)
After the death of the Emperor Geihar, his descendants, servants and the rest of the Ahreupen Empire wept for four days in mourning. The seal was a symbol of the tension over power of the ruler of the continent was being disputed, so it came into the possession of many. The Niflheim Empire tried to retrieve the seal for over 200 years. However they could not avoid war. The invasion of monsters led by the dragons killed and burned the royalty. Many do not know that the sudden invasion of monsters was the true reason for the fall of the empire. However, the Emperor Geihar had granted life to Golden Bird who distinctly remembers the destruction of the Empire. The Golden Bird is chasing after those responsible for revenge.

Gugugugugu.
The Golden Bird that he was looking for from the Niflheim Empire's Past had appeared. It was a bird that was made out of lustrous gold. You could take your eyes off such a creature stirring with energy. It had eyes made out of light blue sapphire and white platinum hair. There was a small crown on its head encrusted with diamonds. It flew around beautifully with its clear golden body. A sculptor would not be able to help but admire it.
“Gulp.”
Weed swallowed.
If he could hunt down the Golden Bird then he could sell it for money!
'I could take apart the precious materials and sell it to the store…'
He looked with greedy eyes as if unique items were rolling down the street.
“This was Emperor Geihar's favorite. He has good taste in gold and jewelry!”
