Chapter 6: Statue in the Square

When Weed had connected again, everything had changed. Central Square was narrower than Bingryong Square and Light Square but it was the most crowded place.

'Keheok! Why am I here....?'

Weed was confused but people were just engaged in business like usual. Beginners were filling buckets with water and looking at the sculptures as they passed by.

"This sculpture was found?"

"Yes. It looks just like the real thing."

"I'd like to touch it....."

Two females were looking at the sculpture from close by.

"But the height isn't very tall."

"The face also seems ordinary."

The female users left and beginners wearing the default beginners' clothes appeared.

"Weed-nim, I will follow Weed-nim and live eagerly. Please watch me in the future."

Merchants who finished their business folded up their stall and talked to others.

"Thank you very much for helping develop Morata. I've had fun doing it."

Weed was a statue so he held still without any movement. The merchants stood next to the altar and stared at the sculpture with a serious face.

Warriors and adventurers hunting in parties also approached. In Morata it was basic to appreciate an artwork before exiting the city. If they didn't appreciate a statue or painting before going hunting then they would be reviled.

"It is the first time I'm visiting this place. I went to hunt in a far place and died but I still enjoyed it."

They never imagined that the sculpture was actually Weed frozen in stone.

A short dwarf came as well.

"Kyah! I've travelled throughout the continent and Morata is the first place where I've tasted such good beer. I'm really thankful that such a lively place has been created."

Older uncles and aunties holding hands also came to see the sculpture.

"I'm from the Grass Porridge Cult."

"Hooray King Weed!"

Some users who liked Weed didn't come empty handed. They left wild flowers and grass from hunting outside under the statue. Even those who disconnected and came in again, they admired the sculpture and talked about the development of the Arpen Kingdom.

"It is good to be a resident of the Arpen Kingdom. Indeed."

"Yes. I told you it was right to enter this kingdom. There's no place like this on the continent."

The form of beginners just starting Royal Road could be seen running around Central Square. It wasn't possible to feel boredom when seeing people moving brightly.

People looking for a party to hunt or someone to trade with were also present in the Central Square. Bards also performed in public with instruments.

Weed's heart was also peaceful as he heard the music.

'The residents are enjoying themselves... And there is business even in the middle of the night. The merchants are earning a large sum of money.'

He was really happy as a king.

'This is perfect for taxes.'
