Since the broadcast was unscripted, they set up the qualified commentators Shin Hye-Min and Oh Joo-Wan and invited Lee Jin-Gun as a special quest.
Lee Jin-Gun was a famous player within the top 400 in Royal Road. He had also completed many quests as an Adventurer. Hastily casted, he was an invited guest for the broadcast.
The sculpting match with Death Hand, the sculpting of the Wings of Light, and the restoration of Dwarf Kendellev's water sculpture were broadcasted.
The viewers' response to the new look on Sculptors was also warm.
— It's beautiful.
— Is this a rediscovery of Sculptors? Please make programs like this more often.
— I'd like this to be an opportunity to bring interest to dismissed professions again.
Besides the main professions the majority of players picked, there were many professions in Royal Road. Professions were divided based on race and hidden professions! The responses of viewers who had chosen such professions were good.
— When will the actual content be broadcasted?
— Is the Embinyu Church coming out or not? You're not gonna keep going like this and broadcast the rest of it tomorrow, right?
— I want to see the contents of the chain quest soon.
— I'm guessing the sculpting match with Death Hand is one part of the linked quest.
— It must be. But how can a Sculptor do the quest? A Sculptor's combat strength is awful.
— The sculpture put out by Death Hand looks a lot like the symbol of the Resurrection Church. Anyone know about this?
The viewer forum buzzed with discussion and speculation. Since it was the first S-class difficulty quest, it was sure to attract a lot of attention.
— But who is this Sculptor Weed?
— He is the main character of a program called 'Weed' that was broadcasted not long ago. He also traveled to the Vampire Kingdom.
— Ah, the program with the low ratings… but I don't think I've seen many Sculptors.
— He is the Lord of Morata.
— He's the Great Sculptor who made the Pyramid and the Tower of Light.
There was a considerable number of people asking about the Sculptor Weed. Many people still didn't know about the Sculptor Weed. They knew of the Tower of Light and Morata, but actually, even after they heard the name of the person who made the sculptures, they had carelessly soon forgotten. The same sad fate as the creator!
Shin Hye Min had a slight smile on her face.
Anyone who'd watched game broadcasts even a little knew the God of War Weed — the charismatic individual who, after standing as the absolute being of Continent of Magic, emblazoned his strong presence in Royal Road as well. By the recognition he garnered and his fame alone, he was at the level of Bardray, who was guiding the Hermes Guild.
'What kind of response will there be when people find out he's God of War Weed?'
She was not the least bit worried. The response of the viewers would definitely be explosive enough to overload the broadcast station homepage!
As a commentator, it was enough to make Shin Hye-Min feel sorry she was still keeping this secret to herself. Even within the station, only directors and related staff members knew Weed's true identity. The one other commentator, Oh Joo-Wan, and the special guest Lee Jin-Gun were not aware.
After the release of Kuruso's broadcast, Shin Hye-Min said, “It seems like the quest this time will show us many new truths about Sculptors, but what do you think, Mr. Oh Joo-Wan?”
“It's surprising. Weed is the Lord of the Northern Morata region and the creator of awesome sculptures. In fact, can't you say he's the figure who represents Sculptors? For such a person to be doing a war quest, I'm anxious to watch it.”
“The viewers also have of the same thought, right? But will Sculptor Weed be able to win a war against the Embinyu Church, a strange, fearsome force?”
Oh Joo-Wan quickly replied, “I wonder. It's hard for me to even imagine how he'll do it. It's true that it looks very difficult as of now, but I'm curious about what kind of method and means he'll use.”
“In short, we can't lose hope, yes?”
“If he accepted the quest, I think he means to do his best. He could have gained some kind of power or authority during the quest, and even if he fails, there will be great meaning in the challenge itself.”
This time, Shin Hye Min turned her attention to Lee Jin Gun, who was sitting to her left, “Mr. Lee Jin-Gun, what do you think about this quest?”
Lee Jin-Gun smiled as he made a conclusion. “Of course it's going to fail.”
“What?”
“If it's the same Embinyu Church that I'm thinking of, it'll definitely fail. There is absolutely no way he can succeed.”
“…”
“There'll be meaning left in the challenge, but even for that, he could've just gotten a hard quest from good luck. The Embinyu Church? It's an enormous unidentified force.”
Lee Jin-Gun snorted as he ruthlessly cut Weed down. “Hmph! Moreover, the quester is a Sculptor. His skills may be recognized in the Sculpting field, but he'll fall short in adventuring experience and will lack ability as well. Failure is definite.”
They were words prickling with his pride as an Adventurer and a well-known ranking player in the Versailles Continent. Lee Jin-Gun was so narrow-minded, he could not even imagine a person other than himself would succeed the quest.
“Oh my. Do you really think so?” Shin Hye Min laughed gaily.
Normally, she would call a break time and give him a harsh scolding for being such a downer in the broadcast. Speaking somewhat critically in the introduction did not disappoint the viewers and it could have a dramatic effect if the quest happened to succeed. However, Lee Jin-Gun had magnificently thrown a wet blanket on the broadcast. If viewers heard his words and decided the quest would completely fail, their reason to watch the broadcast would also disappear!
Even though Lee Jin-Gun hadn't been told of the Power of the Deliverer Weed had used because he was a guest, it was still no good. For the casting to fail in such an important broadcast, it could be nothing but a huge disaster.
But Shin Hye Min held back her laughter. In a little while he was going to get knocked down a notch!
Shin Hye-Min couldn't forget how he had belittled Archers and Rangers in the last broadcast.
— Archers? It's a good job for cowardly people, since they can kill the monster before it gets close. They're of a different standard from Adventurers, who leap into places with unknown dangers.
Shin Hye-Min was resolved to dish out retaliation on behalf of Archers and Rangers!
It was a broadcast full of ulterior motives, but even she was extremely curious about how Weed's war quest would go. Weed's real-time video was being taken and edited to the best of the production department's ability. Since she was following the broadcast and commenting and couldn't watch the live feed, she also wanted to see it quickly.
Chapter 6: Black Dragon
◊ ◊ ◊
GRAAAAAAWR!
Stepping on the wall to stand, the supersized King Hydra's 9 heads sought prey. The heads shot around like arrows, swallowing up Priests and Soldiers.
GRA-RAWR!
It demolished the stone tower and gobbled up the Archers.
It was on a different plane from Yellowy's rumination of fresh grass, which was leisurely enough to make one blow up in frustration.
A sight inducing horror and vertigo.
In a bog three prestigious guilds united to explore, there was a legendary monster, the King Hydra. Then, in just a few minutes, the King Hydra ate up all the prestigious guild members and moved to yet another location to eat more prey.
