V54C7P1 – Half Elf Vishur
While Weed was roaming in the southern desert region, the users were busy .
They went through data analysis and adventures in search of the Half Elf Vishur, knowing that any lead would make them famous .
– I am LeBoy, an adventurer . My current location is the Averian Forest, classified under the 10 forbidden territories .
I suspected from the beginning that the forest would be the location of Half Elf Vishur’s whereabouts . There were a few regions that I couldn’t enter back when I scouted Averian, so I came to check on them .
Then, I discovered the maze entrance under a huge tree with five-colored leaves .
I am uncertain if this is Zode, but it is massive and I have yet to figure out the exit .
The new post was responded with great interest of other adventurers .
– I am making my way there now .
– Brother… I shall be there soon .
– At last, new information!
Adventurers moved quickly to the Averian Forest .
The forest was one of the 10 forbidden territories, but it was located on the territory of the old Rasal Kingdom, frequently visited by warriors and adventurers .
The Jigolaths, Grapass, and Desert of Tranquility were cleared by Weed, and the forbidden territories were setting other adventurers into crazed ambition .
Posts continued for 3 consecutive days .
– I am inside the maze under the tree of five-coloured leaves . This place is very strange . The area is vast and the traps are high-class made of lumber . Unfortunately, almost all of the adventurers that I came with are dead .
– There are engravings of some sort on the walls . I thought them to be traps… But, they are vivid and beautiful . They seem to have been engraved with a sword .
– This is Haruna . There is a citrus scent that is barely noticeable unless you are an elf . It seems to lead to a path, but there are many monsters and traps . I’m pretty certain that an elf passed through this area .
– Adventurer Chase . I am reporting my findings for the last 2 days . The dungeon seems to be divided into 3 sections . Each section seems to be designed with distinct tracks that leads to the exit… So far, I found the exit to the first section .
Over a thousand famous adventurers in Royal Road made their way inside the maze . Weed was able to collect information while roaming the deserts, and meanwhile there continued to be reports of other mazes .
However, these mazes were cleared within 2 days or were found to be unrelated to Half Elf Vishur .
“As of now, the maze of the Averian Forest is most suspicious . ”
Weed rode his camel to the east desert and arrived at the Altar of the Sun .
The Sun Fragment only grew hotter as he travelled through the barren sand hills until he reached a place where the land split apart like a fissure .
*Swaaaash!*
The desert split, revealing an altar with pure white pillars and stones .
The Fragment of the Sun and the altar were emitting light in unison .
*Blink!*
< Great Discovery!
You are the first to discover the hidden relic of the desert, the Altar of the Sun .
This is a site of the warrior raised above the location where the intense heat of the sun dwells . There exists a legend that tells of the most outstanding desert warrior that goes through a ritual and obtains the power of the sun .
– Reputation increased by 5,550 from the adventure .
– You have gained a level .
– You discovered a hidden historical site . Unique experience grants 3 additional points of strength and agility .
– Reporting precious findings will result in additional rewards . >
Altar of the Sun .
The sun was high up above the sky, and the sands around the altar were set aflame .
There were red, round boulders placed on the altar, each surrounded by warrior sculptures as if they were standing guard .
The sculptures had been chipped away by the winds and sand, barely retaining their forms .
[ The warrior who seeks the power of the sun . Stab through this boulder with your sword . ]
“I have come this far, and this better not be a trap . ”
Weed examined the surroundings with great detail .
It was better safe than sorry!
The old altar seemed to be legitimate and the Sun Fragment reacted .
Moreover, the sculptures certainly had weathered away with time .
“Identify!”
< A piece crafted long ago in unknown times .
It is instilled with the power of the sun .
It requires restoration due to damage by natural causes .
A treasure of the desert .
Artistic worth: 3,610 >
“Alright . This is the real deal . Just to be safe though…”
Weed, prepared to escape at any time, pulled out the Loa Sword and stabbed through the boulder .
At that very moment!
The sun radiated blinding light and the fiery sands retreated in all directions .
With the altar in the center, flourishing light pillars took form, connecting the sky and the earth .
The scene of Weed advancing into the Warrior of the Sun was being broadcasted live through the broadcast stations .
– That’s crazy .
– Wow… I wonder what job class he is doing all that for?
– Isn’t it for the Warrior of the Sun? The job that is only bestowed to one person .
– Seems like it . Given the content of the quest and all…
The discussion boards of the broadcast stations were being bombarded .
The live chat rooms between viewers were raging .
– It looks like he’s trying to obtain the job that he had before . He has experience in it too .
– It may be his return to the days of the Great King of the Desert .
– Back then, he conquered the Central Continent in the era of war . I wonder what he’s going to conquer now?
– He wiped out just about all the opposing factions . All that is left is Kaybern .
– There are still some remnants of the Hermes guild . Seems like people forgot about them .
– I am looking forward to the war against the Black Dragon . At first I thought that we had no chance… but now, doesn’t he have a decent shot?
– As a person who converted jobs a lot… A job class change doesn’t make you extremely powerful . For the moment, you can’t do a decent job in anything .
– Sculptor Master, High Necromancer, Warrior of the Sun . This guy is truly walking the Royal Road .
– If he’s walking the Royal Road he must be near its end .
– As expected of Weed .
– I bet Bard Ray is going mad just watching this .
Bard Ray stood by the shoreline village in the Northern Continent for the Ironblood Warrior job class . He was diligently carrying out quests .
< Gather the clam shells . >
< The mystery of the pearl . >
< The red conch . >
< Fishing memories . >
‘What kind of quests are these?’
He had carried out many combat quests, but such miscellaneous errands were too particular and difficult for him .
“Human . I cut contact with the humans for ages . Ar-pen Empire? Is that a kingdom raised by humans?”
The Barbarians knew nothing about the Haven Empire nor the Arpen Empire .
The village was isolated, rendering Bard Ray’s reputation useless . He hurriedly called for adventurer Lantos from the Hermes Guild .
“Don’t worry . I will show you what an expert adventurer is capable of . ”
Lantos was a user that trained under the ambitious support of the Hermes Guild .
The Hermes Guild was specialized in conquer and combat, but there were countless mystical existences laying dormant in the Central Continent .
Lantos was the best pick especially in excavating treasure or equipment .
“Do you have a knack for fishing? You have to catch the fish with yellow gills and blue scales . ”
“For sure . I picked up a bit . ”
“What’s the skill level?”
Lantos responded while scratching his cheek .
“Intermediate level 3 . As you know, fishing is not an essential skill for an adventurer . Fishing is for fishermen and navigators that like to enjoy their time in relaxation . ”
Adventurers were roamers of the continent .
Users like Chase and Spenson reached advanced levels on fishing . At a spectacular view, they sat idle and cast their fishing rods, easing away the tenseness from the adventure .
Lantos was also an adventurer, but he was an expert of search, excavation and trap disposal .
“Leave it to me . I will tell you what real adventures are like . ”
They cast their lines for 3 straight days and managed to complete the quest .
The Barbarian amazon baked the fish in the bonfire as soon as she received them .
“That took quite the time . I don’t know if I’ll be able to recollect the taste from before . ”
Sizzle-sizzle .
The fish was well on its way .
Bard Ray and Lantos blankly stared at the cooking fish .
If it was Weed, he would have sat beside her, humorously asking what the taste was like .
He would go the extra mile, offer his salt for cooking, disguising the plain, cheap salt as an expensive, special salt, only to retroactively charge her 200 gold for its use .
They spent two more days doing four quests, raising the friendliness to receive their next quest .
“If you’re a warrior, you have to experience difficult battles . Can you go to Romdal Island and defeat the monsters in the area?”
“That’s easy for me . ”
Bard Ray received the quest with a calm tone .
‘The Ironblood Warrior appeared several times in history . They say he withstood against several dozen thousands of enemies . ’
Bard Ray already mastered the Dark Knight and collected various secret sword techniques . He had confidence in his own skills .
‘I have enough offense . If I focus on defense, not one user will be able to defeat me . Weed is not my rival in a face-off battle . My ultimate goal will be to withstand the dragon . ’
Weed moved to the Central Continent after advancing into the Warrior of the Sun .
His physical abilities and growth rate were reinforced when roaming in the desert, but he was too busy to stay in one region .
He also picked up ultimate skills such as the Blade of Demise, and the skill had such destructive power that other secret sword skills could not be compared .
< You have entered an unknown dungeon .
This is the dungeon under the tree in Averian Forest .
The secrets of this place haven’t been revealed yet . Therefore, you must be careful .
Roaming around lost will lead to abrupt dangers . >
An unknown dungeon!
He arrived in expectation of finding Half Elf Vishur’s tracks .
A long-ear female user was waiting as he walked through the entrance .
“I’m Haruna . Nice to meet you . Weed-nim . ”
“Yes . The pleasure is mine . ”
“We adventurers uncovered half of the dungeon . I will lead you as far as I can . ”
“Thanks . ”
Dirt and tree roots covered the walls .
The dark cave was lit by bright crystal spheres set up on the ceilings and walls by the adventurers .
Haruna walked softly with the tip of her toes, but she was fast, being an elf .
“It’s such an honor for me that you are here . ”
“I appreciate your assistance . ”
“We can pass through the first section in about 25-minute walk . The tree roots shift after a certain time, so we must hurry while the path is open . ”
“I am alright with walking faster . ”
The majority of Elf users were beautiful .
Based on her real-life looks, she had a lean figure with clear skin .
Even so, he treated Haruna like she was a rock .
He saw Seoyoon day and night, so no other women felt attractive to him .
‘I don’t know if my sister can even hope of getting married…’
Yurin’s appearance made him worry about her future!
As they walked along, they encountered the other adventurers .
“Weed-nim! I’m Dante . ”
“It’s been so long . ”
“Haha . It’s so great that we get to venture together . ”
He came across the adventurers in the maze and moved along with them .
Dante was envied and also was treated with jealousy just for having connections with Weed .
Having countless achievements in the Versailles Continent under his belt and rising to be the Emperor of the Arpen Empire put Weed’s reputation on a new level .
