Geumini was more difficult for Weed.
That was because he felt it was a waste to make him out of gold.
“I would like to thank you for the delicious meal.”
He was hungry and Weed was being nice today.
Geumini was very shy but he had excellent combat skills.
He could run fast and wield swords in both hands.
Weak monsters would be slain instantly and he worked well on top of the wyverns with his bow shooting arrows with archery.
A sculptural masterpiece!
He was made with a 20 % bonus to his level so he was an elite at level 420.
It was the first superior statue that the had given life to.
Rover and Phoenix that he had made from rock were barely level 400.
“Master, I have passed my goal of level 446.”
“That’s good, you put in a lot of effort.”
While the Wyverns were out playing, Geumini went in dungeons alone and hunted. He did not take breaks so that he could help Weed how had given him life.
“I went to hunt the monsters in the mine when you were gone.”
The abandoned mines nearby Morata!
Since Weed did not develop the mines, they became monster lairs. Geumini hunted the monsters and then mined for minerals with a pickaxe.
Since he had ownership of the minerals, it went into the storage. Weed could use it to build buildings or as minerals to make items.
“I learned a new skill. Golgolgol.”
“Ohhh.”
Weed thought it was worth raising one of his own to be like this.
To think that Geumini would be this praiseworthy?
‘It’s too bad since all a sculptor would need is a hundred guys like Geumini.’
Mining skills were very useful to the economy.
Mineral discovery and pickaxe skills were useful skills.
“What is the skill?”
“Master do not be surprised, it is magic.”
“Magic!”
Geumini had high intellect.
Since he was made using blacksmith skills there were the properties of fire, water, and metal.
The other things weren’t bad but he was thrilled that he was able to learn magic.
“Well done Geumini, but let me check what kind of magic that you got. Geumini skill window!”
Weed was able to access the skill windows of the sculptures he made.
Beginner Level 9 Sword Mastery (26 %): Sword wielding skills. The higher the level, the stronger the power.
Intermediate Level 7 Archery (88 %): Has long range and increases the accuracy of arrows. You can reload quickly.
Intermediate Level 4 Fire Control Mastery (16 %): Can create fire. The power is unlimited but too much heat will dissolve the body.
Level 3 Fluid Conversion (15 %) — Can use heat to liquefy the body. Useful for repairing the body. However, some parts of the body may be lost permanently.
Geumini had ingenious skill with archery and sword-fighting. As he expected, magic skills had appeared!
Beginner Level 6 Jewelry Destruction Magic (69 %): Can draw out the magic potential power of jewelry. The magic power depends on the caster’s ability and the value of the jewel. Magic consume a certain amount of jewelry every time.
Jewelry magic power.
It was a more comprehensive power than magic since it’s casting speed was extremely fast.
There was the decisive disadvantage of consuming jewelry.
Geumini was level 446 and he had high physical stats like strength and agility as well as wisdom and intellect. He had high potential as a wizard. He had developed an ability to use magic using his own body’s characteristics.
It was a very luxurious skill that defined him!
It was a skill that was suitable for Geumini, who was worth 17 thousand gold.
“Do not use it.”
“What? Golgolgol.”
“You can use this skill or Fluid Conversion in the future. But if you do I’ll melt you down into gold.”
If he was melted down he could not use any skills. That meant the only thing he was good for was to be sold.
“Master.”
Geumini couldn’t help but lament.
Geumini had the appearance of a bright and handsome young man, which was pretty impressive but not to Weed. Weed thought that the golden age of youth was in high school where young girls with money would eat tteokbokki, a spicy rice cake. Weed ignored Geumini.
Wah-1 came out and took one step forwards.
Of course he was doing something other than defending his younger sibling Geumini.
“Master.”
“Yea.”
“The situation in town is alarming.”
Then Weed’s voice became serious.
“What is it?”
While hunting in Morata, the Wyverns scouted their surroundings.
Weed had invested a lot of money, 300 thousand gold, in Morata as well as making a lot of sculptures. The Church of Freya had been appointed for a duration but that was not a reason to let the pressure off. They scouted the surrounding area because they could not simply rely on the Paladins of Freya.
“The quarry near the town has been getting more crowded recently.”
Wah-1 began to explain.
It was hard for them to understand what was going on because of their age.
But Weed could understand.
“It appears that there’s a large increase in soldiers.”
The construction of barracks and the conscription of soldiers.
There were not many residents near Morata. Immigrants would come to settle up in the north but not in such large numbers. Mercenaries and other conscripted units were a different story. There was a lot less prey to hunt because there were a large number of people that had to hunt nearby.
Chapter 2: A Man's Journey
Ahn Hyundo said.
“Who will go with the youngest?”
Ahn Hyundo was trying to get someone to go.
When he was young, he had wandered through many countries. He had spent a lot of his life traveling throughout foreign countries.
The atmosphere of the meeting was rather good because they was going to meet women in Royal Road.
The masters knew but they kept silent.
In the course of mastering the sword, they had traveled around to learn about the world.
It was disadvantageous to be the first one to speak so they all remained silent.
They just remained in their sitting position with their strong chests and wide shoulders.
Their kept glancing at each other as if they were begging.
Ahn Hyundo looked into the eyes of each of the instructors.
Chung Il Hoon looked like he was a stoic person but he had generous and benevolent qualities.
He was extremely competent and the best disciple to further develop the dojo.
‘If he goes then the amount of work is going to increase around here.’
Ahn Hyundo thought that it was a better idea to have the instructors teach. He did not want to remove them and waste precious time that was needed to operate the dojo.
He wanted to see the woman that he met recently in Royal Road and go to the beach again.
‘It shouldn’t be him either.’
He quickly decided against having the fourth instructor go.
Roi Lee was the youngest of the instructors and had many prominent accomplishments in the way of the sword. Royal Road’s virtual reality was as expected.
It was the thing that they were looking for in order to gauge their development.
The willingness to fight, the feelings of weakness within themselves, or learning the way of the sword.
They had lived by the sword and the world of Royal Road was formidable.
A world of magic.
A moment of carelessness will lead to a surprise attack from a horde of monsters in the night.
They could face a number of challenges in Royal Road and revive shortly after suffering the despair of failure. It was a place where they could they could train their determination through struggles.
