Human, Dwarves, and Barbarians races didn"t make good subjects when making nature sculptures. Even if it was made, the end result was not desirable.
-I"m making sculptures. Where are you?
-I"m at Bardem"s mountain
-How did you get there?
-I heard the scenery was good so I came out to paint.
She had been using the Picture Teleportation skill to travel freely across the Versailles Continent.
An idea struck Weed"s head.
'There are plenty of large mountain and lakes in the Versailles Continent. If you could make art in those locations the experience would be way higher.'
Nature Sculpting greatly depended on the environment so it wouldn"t be a bad idea to wander around while sculpting.
Ma-Sen Kingdom's Bardem Mountain.
Overlooking the scenic capital city they could see Novice Castle and wide plains, it was a beautiful place.
With Yurin's help he was able to get there quickly. After Weed arrived he saw many users that came to play.
"Its bourgeois'
The most active place were still mainly in Rosenheim Kingdom, when compared with Morata"s Players their higher levels were unparalleled.
A third of the players were over Level 200!
There were also many people wearing Level 300 equipment.
"The war never ends."
"I think they"re trying to end it this time."
"30,000 soldiers died, there were really that many casualties?"
"They got slaughtered while trapped inside their castle. Their spirit must have been broken. Still a lot of the army is left."
The news of the Central Continent"s war even reached the Bardem mountain.
"Get your portraits drawn. Couples should make fond memories."
Yurin was making money while sketching.
Like the fairy tales drawn in warm and cute colors, she was popular among the Players.
Weed sat down on the ground and made preparations to sculpt. He wore old clothes on purpose so he wouldn"t draw much attention from other users.
"I"m going to try and make the Novice Castle."
The mixed water and the dirt became dough in his hands.
He stacked the mud in the form of a mountain and used the dirt to make the large open field.
Novice Castle was made carefully with his hands.
It took four hours but the king's garden, road, market, carriage, and the people were captured with exquisitely accurate detail.
The users who were waiting to be drawn by Yurin and even the tourist started to take interest in Weed's sculpture.
The sculpture"s size was about the size of a queen mattress and it was an exact replica of the Novice Castle's surrounding.
Even the park where they were currently in was included. It even had replicas of Yurin drawing and Weed sculpting.
"Look at that. It"s incredibly well made."
"I think he"s a Sculptor."
Sometimes he would grab the shaped mud and use his knife to cut it.
The Players were impressed and surprised at the swift speed.
While watching the mud sculpture on the stone slab, Weed was slightly satisfied.
Unlike sculpting trees he didn't need skills to shave the corner, it was even easier than sculpting with water.
"I think its made pretty similarly. Nature Sculpturing!"
After lightly starting the skill the mountain he had made with stacked mud hardened and even grew small tiny trees on it.
In the plain region wheat fields began to spread.It"s gathering Nature"s power and magically transforming the sculpture!
— Choose a name for your sculpture.
"Bardem Mountains where my sister and I used to play."
Is "Barden Mountains where my sister and I used to play" correct?
"Yes."
Ding!

"Waaaaa!!!"
"A Fine piece like that has never been heard of. What Sculptor can make such a work?"
"It causes plants to grow like magic! That"s great!" Players around the area began saying in surprise.
Weed then made a magical backpack to carry around the larger sculptures he created.
"Come on, let"s go to the next place."
Yurin painted herself and Weed on the picture.
"Picture Teleportation!"
The skill made Weed and Yurin slowly disappear from the area like a mirage.
Snake Ravine of the Harpan Kingdom.
Peter Castle of Haven Kingdom.
Loin Plaza of Britten Kingdom.
The Street of Fully Blossomed Flowers of Aidern Kingdom.
Artian Fountain and the surrounding area of Bacuba Kingdom.
The Vanetta region and Spring Palace of the Ritten Kingdom.
The Pyramid of Rosenheim Kingdom.
The Mirror Lake of Brent Kingdom.
Weed put his all into the trip with Yurin and made sculptures everywhere that other players saw.
"What, what is that sculptor doing?"
"I think he just finished his work."
But as people flocked to Weed and Yurin they would disappear using Picture teleportation.
So people searched on the forums instead.
Title: Today there have been a few appearances of a Sculptor.
I was hunting at the Snake's ravine when I saw one sculptor. He looked like he was playing around with dirt but he was making a sculpture.
Since he was wearing beginner's cloth and making a sculpture, I didn't see it as a big deal and ignored it. However the dirt that was piled up was made into a realistic representation the Snake's ravine.
I think these are really amazing.
But how the hell did he get the water to flow like that? It"s not like any of other fountains.
— Eh, thats nonsense.
— Think you were just dreaming. Wake up now. And go to sleep at night.
Title : I saw sculpting at Snake Ravine as well.
I"m not sure if it was magic, but water was flowing from a mud sculpture.
And the finished piece was a Fine sculpture.
I wanted to have a conversation with him, but he left really quickly......
— Did water really flow from the sculpture? Who is this Sculptor?
-Does Harpan Kingdoms have a player with intermediate level Sculpting?
-Is it the magic of a Sculptor?
— Is that a sculpture that can only be seen when it rains? There is no one who can replicate that, but...
It was a user that had a rare amount of experience that couldn't be found even if you searched the Harpen Kingdom.
Then the info started connecting!
Title : I saw a certain Sculptor at the Bardem mountains in Masen Kingdoms.
I saw him making a sculpture on the spot for the first time, and it was the best.
Trees were growing all over the place.
— If trees were growing, does that mean he used spiritual magic?
— I don"t really know. But the trees were growing so fast that you could see them grow.
— It"s almost as unbelievable as that story of water flowing.
Title : Is there anyone that could describe the outer appearance of the Sculptor?
I am a player from Bacuba Kingdom.
Did the person that all of you saw have a rather normal face with clothes smeared with grime?
And the Painter that was with him had a large green hat and was really pretty.
— Thats true. I saw them at Snake ravine.
— The Sculptor that came to Masen Kingdom was the same.
— That makes no sense. Harpan Kingdom, Masen Kingdom, Bacuba Kingdom. The distance between all of them are immense.
— Even when using a magicians teleport or gate to it"s full potential, it would still be difficult.
The Sculptor that makes miracles!
Someone posted a video of Weed making a sculpture in the Masen Kingdom with that nickname.
The players from multiple Kingdoms in the Central Continent replied that they saw as well.
Title : The identity of that sculptor is Weed.
I"m a player currently active in the Rosenheim Kingdom.
Everyone should know that Weed came from our Kingdom. And yesterday I saw Weed making a sculpture on top of the pyramid.
I recognized him because I worked on the pyramid as well.
I was really lucky to have returned to Serabourg castle after partying up with dark elves and orcs in the Yurokina Mountains.
Since I"m not a Newbie anymore I am heading to Morata.
Towards the second home, Morata!
— So it was Weed.
— It"s self explanatory since it"s Weed.
— How high is his mastery in Sculpting right now?
— Did he master that skill?
— How could he master the skill when he was adventuring so busily? If he did get the Sculpting mastery he would be the first person to master a Profession Skill.
— Combat skills are difficult to raise, Sculpting would be even harder.
— If he did master the skill it would have been a huge issue and the villagers would have spread it. That really is a huge issue you know?
==============================
The fact that he made a sculpture on top of Peter castle reached the Hermes guild too late.
"Weed must have a death wish. He dared to come to Peter Castle?"
Peter Castle was an old castle built on a mountaintop. It was a strategic stronghold, but it was also a beautiful place that was the pride of the Haven Kingdom.
"If we knew earlier, we would have wiped him out with our elite squads!"
The top leaders of the Hermes Guild were upset at this and grinding their teeth.
Their pride took a mighty blow when Drinpelt"s fleet was obliterated near the Jigolaths, and now it took another hit with this.
The Haven Kingdom had been completely conquered and Bard Ray with his considerable strength was promoted to king.
During this time when other users and guilds were on their knees and bowing their heads while all the high level players were getting in, Weed, the enemy of Hermes guild, had made a sculpture at Peter castle and left.
The players couldn't help but stick out their tongue at such a grand action.

Chapter 7: The Grand Cathedral of Freya
(Authors Note: Whew, now.... only two parts left.)
Weed did not just make Nature Sculptures while traveling around the Central Continent.
"Sculptor Weed right? Your works are superb."
"It seems my reputation precedes me. Your Majesty, I've travelled across the High Seas to come meet you."
He energetically visited the residences of the nobles.
Weed was wearing Talrok"s armor, his best equipment to raise his Charm and Dignity.
The King of Ritten sat on his throne and asked.
"Lord of the northern lands, famous adventurer, what is the reason for your visit?"
Weed spoke words of flattery respectably while in his best armor.
"As I was travelling around your kingdom, I was deeply impressed by your rule. Your majesty, I had to come visit you to pay my respects."
"Seeing you, I seem to remember all the things I've forgotten till now."
"I"d like to listen to what"s going on?"
Weed's reputation and dignity stat were really high, making it very easy to meet nobles of a kingdom and even the king.
It was even high enough to be able to receive a King's Quest!
However, when meeting nobility or royalty, he still had to adhere to proper etiquette.
"When I was young, I had a really attractive appearance. Princesses and noble ladies from all around would line up for a chance to dance with me."
However, the reality was that the King of Ritten's looks would now only appeal to female Orcs.
But in the ways of the world, silence is sometimes better than the truth.
And Weed was a person who took pride in living realistically.
"Indeed. Your Majesty has probably stolen the hearts of many young maidens. Now, the noble young ladies of the Kingdom of Ritten must be very unhappy because of you."
"Adventurer, what do you mean they are unhappy because of me?"
Currently, there was not even one young person of nobility. There were only knights with heavy lips as well as the King and Weed himself.
"Yearning for Your Majesty, they would not be able to sleep soundly at night."
"HAHA!"
The King of Ritten Kingdom laughed out loud. His cheeks jiggled around obscenely.
Weed did not miss a beat and said.
"As expected, your smiling face would charm the people's hearts!" (TN: originally I wrote "As expected, your smiling face is very charming!" but that sounds like Weed is coming on to him)
It was like praising a snake that it had beautiful skin, or telling a frog that it's legs were stunning.
He had the insight and skills to become a superb treacherous servant.
"I'd like you to erect a statue of me in my youth! I'll provide you with anything you need to create this statue."
Ding!
King's Statue
Erect a statue of the King of Ritten Kingdom in his youth, in the royal palace.
Create a statue that would satisfy the king.
Only one of the leading sculptors in the entire continent would be capable of creating a successful piece.
Necessary materials can be found in the royal palace.
Difficulty: Profession Quest
Reward: Emerald, Sapphire, a minimum of 10 or more
Quest Restrictions: Only available to Sculptors.
Thanks to flattery, a sculpture was commissioned.
Weed bowed at the waist at once.
"It would be my honor to carve the likeness of Your Majesty. I hope my work will be able to satisfy." (TN: not sure about the second sentence)
-Quest Accepted.
In the royal palace, top grade carving stone, snow white in color, was prepared!.
Weed took out Zahab's Sculpting Knife. It would make his work a lot easier.
"The sculpture shouldn't really portray the likeness of the king in his youth."
Looking at the portraits of when he was younger, the King of Ritten Kingdom definitely looked like a baby Orc.
"It is better if I make it handsome instead."
He increased the height slightly, and raised his nose.
To hide the defects he transformed the morbidly obese figure into a sturdy figure.
