Difficulty: S
Reward: Colossal Fame and Charisma
Quest Restrictions: A quest with a total of three steps. You must complete all of them successfully.
Occupy the fortress of the Embinyu Church to complete the quest's first stage. Fulfill the requirements of the quest to progress to the quest's second stage.
It will result in failure if the pursuers take the Cane. If you fail the quest, all chain quests related to the Matallost Church will end.
At last, the appearance of a quest with an S class difficulty!
“I've come this far.”
Weed closed his eyes.
To bring about the alliance with the three tribes and destroy the Embinyu Church's fortress!
It will not end in a simple manner. It was merely the first step of a long quest!
Of course, the reward was probably immense, but he also felt a mental burden.
'Although it's true I'm not a normal Sculptor…'
A quest restricted only to those with the profession of a Sculptor!
Weed was the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, a profession granted to the only person who had unified the continent. Since he had underlings like Bingryong, the Phoenixes, and Yellowy, he was in a much more advantageous position than others.
Even the 'Interfere with the Embinyu Church's Ritual' quest possessed a high difficulty. It was a whopping A. Regardless of difficulty, a difficulty of B or higher impacted the Versailles Continent.
The ritual interference quest had been among the somewhat easier quests for an A-class difficulty, but leadership and the ability to command was needed in order to deal with the Guardian Knights of the Matallost Church.
If not for sculptures he had prepared in advance, his Charisma, and quick tactical decisions, the quest could have been extremely difficult!
How much he had suffered with other difficult quests such as 'True Blood Vampires' or when he fought the Immortal Legion! When he fought the True Blood Vampires, he failed the first hunt and died helplessly. He had also died in his fight with Lich Shire, and literally melted from the Bone Dragon's Breath. He didn't even have time to resist!
Sculpting Blade, Sculpture Life Bestowal, the Art of Sculpture Transformation, the Power to Reject Death. He applied every technique he possessed; his Resilience, Perseverance, and his polished swordsmanship to endure.
Although Weed completed those dangerous quests, this time an S-class difficulty quest had appeared.
A powerful Sculptor lord leading his sculpture army! It was Weed's vague dream for the future, but some of the sculptures he created and granted life to lost their lives.
He couldn't just blindly rely on the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor profession or the effects of his sculpture underlings.
For an S-class difficulty quest, without completing it with all his body and soul, it might result to the quest being marked as unresolved.
Others weren't even able to take a glimpse at an S-class quest, but he also couldn't see it as a blessing.
Weed submerged himself in thought with his eyes closed.
'If I abandon it now… I will likely lose a significant amount of Fame and trust.'
Stopping in the middle of a quest with a high difficulty, especially a chain quest, yielded an enormous loss. He would get hexed with a curse difficult to lift, or he could lose precious fortune, accumulated fame, or contribution.
Weed came to a clear decision.
'Let's accept.'
The penalty from giving up and the penalty for failing the quest probably don't differ much.
In worst case scenario, with the Power of Reject Death, he could only lose his life a second time!
He decided to give it a go while preparing for the worst case scenario.
He was able to strengthen his weakening spirit with confidence.
If he was weak, then he needed to be challenged until he gets stronger.
He had sewn buttons onto 500 sets of clothing, and stayed up all night to attach eyes onto dolls!
He just had to further increase the amount of grinding he had to do for the sake of success.
“A long time may have passed, but they will remain as friends who can be depended on. The promised alliance will surely be kept.”
— You have accepted the quest.
Nehalles Metropolis — The capital city of Brent Kingdom, the long-standing enemy of Rosenheim Kingdom.
Peddlers selling fruit called out to players.
“Miss, have you heard about Weed from Rosenheim Kingdom?”
“Huh? Weed?”
Saerin, a Summoner, knew the peddler was just trying to make small talk and didn't pay any attention. Sometimes NPCs gave out information, but they were rarely helpful!
“If it's someone from Rosenheim Kingdom… I don't know any famous Adventurer or Warrior by the name of Weed, are you perhaps talking about Sculptor Weed?”
The famous Sculptor Weed who had made the Pyramid!
Saerin was sightseeing the East. She had known of Weed ever since she first stopped by Rosenheim Kingdom.
“So you know of him. They say Weed is undertaking an amazing quest!”
“What kind of quest is it? Did he meet up with another Kingdom's King?”
Other users who overheard them interrupted Saerin's conversation with the peddler.
“What is going on?”
“They said the Sculptor Weed is currently doing a quest…”
“The famous Sculptor Weed?”
Even in Brent Kingdom, almost everyone knew of Sculptor Weed, who made Rosenheim Kingdom famous.
“If you guys are talking about Sculptor Weed, he recently became the Lord of Morata.”
“What kind of quest is he undertaking?”
“Shhhh! Let's listen.”
Saerin was quite flustered because of the players who suddenly gathered around her. She didn't know Weed was so popular!
Players from Brent Kingdom often went on hunting expeditions in Rosenheim Kingdom. The effect of the Pyramid provided immense help. The popularity of Sculptors in Brent Kingdom was at its peak.
There were also rumors of players from Rosenheim Kingdom traveling all the way to Morata in the North and its Tower of Light.
Weed's delicious grass porridge and barley bread had already become regional specialties! Variations such as Seafood grass porridge, Mushroom grass porridge, Chicken grass porridge, Beef grass porridge had been produced. The highly nutritious and aromatic baked Barley Bread was also a popular snack.
They were legendary foods Weed, who was also well-versed in cooking, distributed to the workers who were helping built the Pyramid.
Although there were many imitations, none were as light and savory as the millet and grass porridge Weed had personally made for them.
Through those who had eaten Weed's porridge, the story had spread to the point of becoming a folk legend.
The peddler shook his head as if troubled.
“Do you know of the Embinyu Church, who is dominating the Versailles continent with darkness and fear?”
“What? Which church?”
Information of the Embinyu Church was coming from the peddler's lips!
The Brent Kingdom players, including Saerin, heard the Church's name for the first time.
“The Embinyu Church, dominating with darkness and fear. They say the ancient, sinister group is still active.”
“Embinyu Church, this is the first time I've heard of them.”
“Simply mentioning it is foul, so it isn't normally spoken of.”
“What does it have to do with the Sculptor Weed?”
“It seems Weed is opposing the Embinyu Church. He gained knowledge about them while tracing the Origin of Sculpting, and it looks like he is fighting the Embinyu Church, a church only can be found in history. Despite being pursued, he is trying to reconstruct an alliance for the sake of the Versailles Continent.”
