Weed’s Call Sponsored by Ser4, TLC and parts retranslated by Enlightened End, checked by bloodadept and FroshiAnaki
You tasted a new sensation. Mastery has increased because your cooking skill is over Intermediate. |
These rare foods from the Spiritual and the Fairy world increased cooking skill.
“Hmm, this is edible.”
When the food he tasted was based on ingredients he used a lot before, he was able to grasp the recipe. It was really difficult to create new recipes with unique spices and herbs that humans didn’t even use. This was a rare opportunity that he had to take advantage of.
Because if he wanted to be satiated with the fairies’ food, he would need to eat at least 250 of their dishes.
‘If I advertise spirits’ food, I will be able to rip off customers.’
Hwaryeong and Bellot ate the different dishes in a refined manner. They changed to appropriate attire for the feast and even ate and drank the less than pleasant food with elegance.
Through the Fairies’ feast, your dignity and manner increased. |
After the end of the feast, they returned to Vargo Fortress. _______________________________________________________
Weed laughed dismally.
“Ahahahaha.”
He calculated the amount of treasures and items dropped after hunting Balkan and his share was only about 680 thousand gold. The treasures would take time to sell, so they decided that when merchants come to Vargo Fortress they would sell as much as the merchants would buy and split the gold.
“The bonus is quite good at least.”
Vargo Fortress was now his territory. Right now, only the piles of stones, destroyed towers and wreckages of buildings were left. The damage was relative to the huge battle that had taken place.
“I wonder what kind of place this is? Region Information Window!”
Vargo Fortress Once a fortress occupied by the Undead. It’s only recently that humans have reclaimed it. In the past, it was a fortress occupied by the Niflheim Empire where it serves as an important gateway. Vast swaths of forests and jagged mountains are part of the territory. Currently there are no residents. Through war, the fortress is heavily damaged and needs extensive repairs. The river is contaminated and it’s hard to obtain drinking water. Due to monsters the region is not safe. Specialty: None |
It was much worse than early Morata which was filled with houses that looked like they could collapse at any moment. The quiet downriver or the peaceful hills would be much better than the fortress, whose public order was under threat by the monsters.
Like Weed, it was common for people to become lords by gaining the trust of the king, nobles or villagers through their own adventures. But occasionally there were people that became lords by raising their own village.
As Versailles continent was quite large, anyone could build a house nearby a mountain or a river and start farming and raise livestocks. After a while by accepting nomads and expanding the village, they suddenly found themselves as lord of the village.
Region of Morata A region that once was part of the Niflheim Empire. Currently, by the strength of lord Weed’s excellent choices, the development is continuing. Morata has become the representative city that showcases the best in the North, becoming the center for arts, trades and adventures. Two great structures, the Freya Cathedral and the North’s Great Library have been completed. Military Force: 259 Economic power: 2,969 Culture: 3,129 Technology: 843 Religious Influence: 87 Regional Politics: 69 Influence on Nearby Areas: 74% Influence from the past Niflheim Empire: 16.5% (Influence is deeply rooted to the military, economics, culture, technology, religion, population, quests etc.) City Development Rate: 269 Hygiene: 39 Public Order: 88% Recently the Undead Legion has been repulsed without any severe damages. Influx of population is continuing but as roads and enough residency has been prepared in advance, the residents do not feel any discomfort. With the active trades and commerce, a high income bracket is being created. With the increase of Morata’s regional fame, three specialties have been added: silverware, palm wine, luxury textiles. The Cathedral and the Great Library are the resident’s pride. Morata heavily influences the nearby region in terms of politics, economics and culture. This year is expected to yield a bountiful harvest. Thoughts of rebellion cannot be imagined. Enough military forces have been retained to fight the monsters. Through the increase in military spending, the soldiers and knights have greater loyalty. The magnificent sculptures are bringing happiness to the residents. The standards of paintings are rising. The artist’s endless trust and financial support has become the dynamic for cultural development. Morata’s Art Center has become the cornerstone for new artists in the whole of the Northern continent, storing many of their created pieces. Due to the Great Library, education, magic and adventure is robust. Through education and high culture, many children who are smart and wise are born. If you teach them 10 things, they will only forget about 5 at the end of the month! The tailoring industry’s skill is being inherited. The tailors can use leather, fabric and lavish products to make clothes. Blacksmith’s iron wielding skills are at a level that they can heat up iron and hit it with their hammer. Master craftsmen have appeared and are leading the skill development. Regional religion: most residents believe in Freya. The wastelands have been cultivated into a fertile granary zone. This year is a bountiful year for crops. With strong faith and steady public order, crime rate has reduced greatly. Specialties: Arts, leather and fabric, tomatoes, grapes, rice, cow, milk, cheese, wine, silverware, palm wine, luxury textiles. Total Population: 1, 175, 704 Monthly Tax Income: 953, 290 gold Village Operating Expenses: Military 5%, Economic development 36%, Cultural investment 14%, Quests and Monster Hunts 16%, Village Repairs 25%, Offering to the Church of Freya 4%. |
You have received a title from Morata’s resident, ‘The Greatest Ruler in the North’. It prevents the residents’ loyalty from dropping. Increases population influx. |
Morata was a great city that he could boast about anywhere. Without him doing anything, it expanded and developed day by day.
When the adventurers in the north excavated an item and discovered it was an artwork, they exhibited it at the Art Center. They offered religious items to the Cathedral and displayed other items in the Great Library. Through items brought by adventurers, the north was in the grip of adventure fever.
The influence of the great constructions was huge, as well as the word of mouth from the players that started in Morata, more and more people gathered there everyday. With the inflow of players and residents, Morata’s technology developed daily with greater competition in business leading to a stronger financial position for the city.
Looking from high above, the buildings were widely spread out, there was the statue of the goddess, the tower of light and the great constructions making a scene of grandeur. It was an unimaginable change compared to the early Morata, filled with shabby buildings under the dark stars and the tower of light. ________________________________________________________
Merchants who were doing business in Morata came to Vargo Fortress in droves.
“This is my spot.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? I already drew a line and sat down before you!”
Weed and the players obtained a tremendous amount of drops and japtems through their battles with the Undead Legion. The drops from the Bone Dragons and the Vandal Knights were not something that could be acquired easily.
Merchants from Morata came here in droves to trade for those items.
“I am Dapala, I professionalize in selling general merchandise. Please add Dapala to your friend list any time and browse my wares comfortably.”
“Weapons trader Cormac is here. From simple repairs to appraisal and trades. Please come, I will give you a good deal.”
“Ingredient specialist, Hapote. I picked these fresh from a neighbor’s house, I sell these ingredients at the smallest possible margin. Please cook yourself delicious meals!”
About 100 merchants came to Vargo Fortress and prepared their shops for business.
“Did they pull their wagons to get here?”
─ It’s meat, meat. ─ The aroma is so good. ─ Eat. Eat. Nom Nom Nom.
The fairies were eating the ribs the people were holding.
Resident population in Vargo Fortress has exceed over 2,000. |
This was the population that came from Morata in just one day.
Due to the active commerce, there is now tax income. All taxes will be used to repair the fortress. If the lord’s office is prepared, the tax distribution can be adjusted. |
With the immigration of residents, the major repair of Vargo Fortress started. As the fortress was quite large, there were many places that needed repairs. With the collapsed towers and buildings, it looked like they had to be completely rebuilt. But as immigrants continued to come and with players looking for new adventures, the fortress was filled with new life.
Human merchants weren’t the only ones selling their wares in Vargo Fortress.
“Selling tree fruits, medicinal herbs and seeds.”
Female elves came to trade as well. They sold goods brought from the forests and purchased what they needed. Dwarves came as well, sold quality war materials and went back with wagons full of beers. Barbarians had lots of items they needed as well. They brought in leather and japtem.
This was proof that Vargo Fortress, as an important gateway of the Northern continent, was regaining its previous form.
Weed was hoping for it.
“Make alcohols with fruits from elves, rip off barbarians with hunting goods and shove around dwarves as laborers to make weapons, armors and houses….”
This was the utopian city he dreamt of! ____________________________________________________________
“ROOOOOAAAR”
It was their creator who gave them life!
Bingryong responded too quickly.
Wyverns also greeted their owner.
Wyverns had a difficult time not tattling everything.
Golden Bird, Silver Bird and Gold Man responded haughtily that they are fine
Yollowy answered in a friendly manner.
Weed also had favorable opinions of the docile yet brave Yellowy.
It was now time to see some action together with the Sculpture Lifeforms.
To Be Continued
