Vol.1 Ch.9 The City of Heaven

Volk was drinking in a tavern, and decided to get a gift for a woman he wanted to propose to. He decided to go to Serabourg where the rumored sculptor was making his living.

Meanwhile, Weed had arrived in the capital of Rosenheim and took Arse back to the Royal Stables. He went to the training instructor and told him everything that had happend. He was rewarded with three gold and fifty points of public service to Rosenheim for the completion of the quest, but lost some of the comradeship due to his straying of the path of the sword.

Afterwards, Wed went to Rodriguez and told him that he completed the quest. Rodriguez handed Weed a wooden statute that was the legacy of Geihar von Arpen. It was passed down from when his family served the Arpenian empire, and now it was in Weed's hands. The legend that came with this was that there were five masters in sculptural art on the Continent, and left their craft secrets in their legacies. If one succeeded in collecting all five of the statues, the ultimate secret of sculptural art would appear. The statue he recieved from Rodriguez allowed him to breathe life into any statue, but required expert stage in Sculpture mastery. Weed then asked if other craftsmen had their own hidden path, and Rodriguez said that there was a possibility. This meant that there was competition with Weed.

In the Royal Palace, Darius had just been knighted by Duke Kanus, and was ordered to form a punitive force to rescue villagers at the frontier from lizardmen.

In the central fountain, Weed was selling statues when he was approached by Volk. After waxing eloquently about his love life, Volk pleaded with Weed to make him a statue that she'd never forget. Weed obliged, and found out that the sculpture mastery skill could only level up when one carved different things. Volk ripped Weed off, but genuinely felt grateful, so he gave Weed a valuble book giving him instructions on how to reach the City of Heaven.

Weed continued levelling up his sculpture mastery as well as his cooking and repair skills. Then, Pale approached Weed and invited him to join the punitive force quest to the village of Baran.
