Chapter 635: Chapter 635 - V56C3P3 – Legendary Artifact
V56C3P3 – Legendary Artifact
There was a huge commotion on the discussion boards as well .
Each broadcasting station was live streaming Weed’s adventure but in some situations, there needed to be a bit of confidentiality and hence they delayed the feed by 3 minutes .
The viewers went wild since the appearance of the Dragon Slayer Axe .
After hearing that Weed had to uncover the Crown of Lightning, they were about to go on a riot .
– Aaaagh!
– God of items has blessed him . This is God’s work .
– So awesome! He’s completely looting all of the dwarven treasures! Sick!
– But, Weed isn’t a dwarf . He’s a human .
– Dwarf race quest . Flex . Weed’s about to bleed them dry .
The players watching the stream were even more excited .
‘The legendary equipment of the dwarves . These will do nicely as the crown of Arpen Empire’s emperor . ’
Weed was outright tempted .
A collection of great equipment was said to be the most transparent thing in this world .
“Yes . I will certainly find it . ”
< Quest has been accepted . >
Weed decided to gather some information from the dwarves of Treestub Village .
“Where’s the Crown of Lightning?”
“I don’t know . ”
“How could I find this crown?”
“Uhh… You have to look for it . Weedhand, who brought back the Brazier of Sacrifice . I am certain that you would be able to find it . ”
“So, the Crown of Lightning…”
“First time I heard about it . ”
None of the dwarves in this village had useful information .
Weed remembered the dwarf who first spoke to him about the crown .
He was a particularly short dwarf but with a thick lower body!
Gomfhand .
He was a warrior and an excellent blacksmith, a renowned dwarf citizen with a high reputation in Thor .
“I wish to know about the Crown of Lightning . ”
“I want to tell you but… It will be dangerous . ”
Weed smacked his lips and answered .
“So you knew after all . I am ready to sacrifice my life for our kin . ”
“If that is so, take this . ”
Blink!
< You have obtained the dwarven secret map . >
It was an old scroll made out of deer hide . The corners were worn away over time, but it had drawings of mountains and an X mark in the center .
“Our dwarf ancestors created this location in preparation for battle against the dragon . ”
Gulp .
“So, this must be the treasure storage?”
“I am not certain but you could think of it like that . We stocked all the equipment crafted for the dragon hunt . ”
“Including the crown; loads of equipment…”
“However, it was overtaken by monsters . The proud dwarf warriors will assist you, so you must take them back . ”
Weed took a closer look at the scroll .
‘There are no cities or villages on this map . I guess that’s to be expected…’
There were neither markings of rivers or seas . There were mountains coloured black and some were especially darker .
‘Maybe this is showing size and altitude by gradations? The terrain looks like Argoldia .
It was one of the 10 forbidden zones .
It was a region located in the desert terrain of the Central Continent, comprised of rocks and sand . Versailles was vast but these rugged deserts were rare .
‘If it’s Argoldia, that’s less area to search . Though it’s one of the forbidden locations, it’s not the early days of Royal Road now . It’s not an absolute danger zone . The quest will be difficult and I have to get into the mindset . The pinpoint location will be not too difficult to find since I have the map . ’
Weed looked at the map and made calculations .
Since this quest had the fate of the dwarven race and the equipment to be used in the battle against the dragon on the line, it would be a great challenge .
‘I have to assume that high-tier monsters inhabit these forbidden locations . They told me that they were overrun by monsters, so it’s likely that the monsters may be armed with the dwarven gear . ’
The Goblins, for example, utilized human made items very well .
The higher the tier of the monster, the better they recognized quality equipment and used them as their own .
‘So, I have to lead the warriors and defeat the monsters . Seems pretty self-explanatory . ”
The quest being a race quest, he could not receive help from human players .
Oberon and the dwarves could provide some help, but strategically that would only mean a few dwarven warriors added into the mix, which wasn’t too significant .
‘I gotta do this solo . Yep . That’s the plan . ’
Reverse was blissful stepping out the gates of Morata .
< Awakening of the sword!

“Hahaha . Now we’re talking . ”
He obtained a good sword into his possession from the auction site .
He also equipped a leather armor that boosted health points, defense as well as Agility .
From head to toe he wore the best equipment for his level .
“This is a great vibe . ”
Reverse felt the exhilaration from his gear and sprinted towards the nearby rabbits .
Ttttap!
His movement speed was 30% quicker than before .
He dashed ferociously and cut them down in a single swing .
< The rabbit was killed . >
< You have obtained experience . >
“Hu-hu-hu, one hit . ”
Reverse was now comfortable killing rabbits that were once a hassle to hunt .
He was much faster, with stronger attack, making his hunting speed at least 5 times more efficient .
“Yes, this is how it should be . I need to hunt speedily like this . ”
He focused on hunting in front of the gates of Morata and the time that passed so slowly when he hit scarecrows was ever so quick now .
< You have gained a level . >
It was so exciting to move around .
Experiencing growth while hunting was more satisfying than eating the most delicious food in the world!
“Excuse me… Do you want to hunt in a party?”
“Party?”
There were even other players asking him to hunt together .
In the eyes of fellow novice players, Reverse looked to be an amazing swordsman with rapid movement .
“We are going to the eastern forest and hunt foxes or wolves . You seem to be a swordsman . Do you want to go with us?”
A group showed up asking him to go hunt in a party .
Reverse rubbed his chin and checked the status of each player .
Having looked through so many novice equipment on the item trade websites, he could assess them roughly .
They were equipped with common gear that were a little over level 15 .
“Sounds good, I’m in . ”

Reverse moved along to the eastern forest with the group .
The wolves he had trouble with before now took significant damage each time he struck with his sword . One careless move got him bit or scratched, but most of the damage was mitigated by his armor .
“You’re so strong . ”
“This is just the basic level . ”
Reverse continued his party hunt and drenched in the joy of being the carry .
The results of spending cash was reflected on his gear and the more he fell into Royal Road .
‘This is fun . To an insane degree…’
After about 30 minutes, they settled to rest .
They started a campfire and shared some fruits from their bags .
In Morata, farm products were abundant and delicious, commonly carried around by novice players .
“I heard Morata is going to fall . Is it true?”
“I don’t know . I heard when Castle Wapen falls, Mistress will be the next target . After that is Morata . ”
“It will be devastating if Morata gets ruined . ”
The players chumped on their fruits as they exchanged conversations .
It was only 18 days until the doomsday predicted by the scholars of Grass Porridge Cult .
As a result, it created commotion among the players of Morata and many did not believe it .
‘On that day, Kaybern will appear for real . ’
Reverse frowned while digging into his fruit .
The date that was calculated via his AI and the date predicted by the scholars were identical .
In order for Morata to avoid being targeted, they had to scrap 5 . 2% of the city’s territory .
Then 2% more on the following week; 8% on the week after .
If they destroyed Great Landmarks or commercial facilities, they would have to destroy less area, but that did not seem feasible .
If the dragon appears, I have to move to another location . I wonder if it was a bad decision for me to start in Morata . ’
Although he wasn’t there for long, the thought of losing his homeland planted thoughts of regret inside him .
“Wouldn’t Weed-nim protect Morata?”
“Mmm . He did retrieve the Brazier of Sacrifice… Maybe he could win against the dragon . ”
Reverse considered their words as false hope .
‘Brazier of Sacrifice . It will be impossible even with that item . ’
Weed’s success of the lair raid increased the expectations of players .
Especially, the Northern players were creating a public sentiment to defend Morata .
‘He can’t pull it off with those measly dwarves…’

Even though Reverse was a novice, his assessment skills were on par with Weed and Bard Ray .
‘If they fight well, they could deal some damage to Kaybern . Even so, it won’t be enough to kill it; not worth betting the fate of the dwarves…’
The alliance of dark gamers .
They were making huge profits after Kaybern threw the world into chaos .
Monsters were everywhere and hunting was much more accessible and, correspondingly, so did the danger level .
– I want to go to Puhol Waterpark . I am looking for an escort .
– Looking for a weapon . Only ones that I can equip .
– Can someone carry me for 2 days?
– I need people to join me in a dungeon for a quest . I will pay hourly wage when we depart from Morata .
The dark gamers sold their loot and took errands to make money .
Even among them, the debate about Kaybern was a hot topic .
– It’s so prosperous nowadays, but Kaybern is quite worrisome .
– The clients are afraid to hunt . There are also a reduced number of tourists .
– Did you see the lineup at Puhol Waterpark? All the people that should be out hunting are just dozing off .
– I do see less commissions coming in . Market price on equipment declined slightly as well .
– The Central Continent players are streaming over to the Northern Continent, so that is no surprise . However, they too will need gold to spend, so the price of gold would remain the same .
– The equipment needs to be sold for higher value . I can’t make decent profits with just errands and gold .
– Seniors . Magarita Village is being invaded by monsters . Could you offer some assistance?
Every day in the alliance of dark gamers, the information about village destructions and monsters were updated .
The dark gamers that were making high profits in such a short time were also feeling the state of the world .
– The villages and cities are being destroyed one by one . Just by the fact that the village we passed through some time ago was overtaken by monsters… Our jobs are disappearing .
– People are migrating to safe regions, so won’t the jobs stay consistent?
– They will crowd up and get destroyed… Let’s say in the future the vital cities have suffered greatly . It would be a huge predicament .
The dark gamers were concerned about the state of the world .
They wished for this Kaybern alert to be relieved soon, but the dragon would not be easily defeated . They, who hunted far more monsters than anyone, knew that fact very well .
