Нам Сон: Legendary Moonlight Sculptor Volume 11

“I don’t think they can go into town, what can we do?”

Not a single Geomchis was allowed to pass was a major crisis.

“Sahyeongs! Isn’t it better to show them a little bit of flattery to be allowed into the village?”

Weeds words of persuasion did not work. Even the cool-minded Geomchi2 sneered at the thought of sucking up to a bunch of vampires.”

“I have a man’s pride! I’m not gunna bow to down to a monster like that or any kind of them.”

Geomchi2 coolly declared. Geomchi3 and Geomchi5 had the same opinion; and all of the practitioners regarded the vampires with the same mindset.

“This is so troublesome…,” Weed hesitantly spoke, “what about learning how to carve from me?”

Weed’s carving skills had advanced to such a level that he could teach others now to sculpt. Seeing how vampires love arts, if Geomchis offered the sculptures similar to their statures as human beings, they might be allowed to enter the village.

“Carving? Do we really have to?”

Geomchi2 replied in an annoyed tone.

“Yes. Beautiful sculptures are good to get girls, and it can be just a side hobby.”

“Really? Only need to know just a bit to attract girls as well as getting in? Might as well?”

Horrid reason for Geomchi2 to began learning, though he was good to go. Weed pulled out a carving knife and commenced trimming a nearby bush in pretense of a lesson.

“There you go. As soon as you finish carving this ‘sculpture,’ I’ll be able to pass you.”

Geomchi2 and the instructors, along with all the practitioners of the school were talented with the swords. While also similarly adequate with smaller weapons, they finished carving the simple “sculpture.”

Ttiring!

Wisdom is too low, cannot learn sculpting

Weed was stupefied. How low can their Wisdom be to make them unable to learn the skill?

“Sahyeong, mind telling me how much Wisdom you have?”

“Well, let’s see… It’s 8.”

“……”

Geomchi3 shined…even worse.

“I’m at 6?”

Geomchi4 too, was formidable…

“I’m 5.”

Some other practitioners were severely low.

“I must be as impressive as the teachers. I’m at 3.”

As low as 3! Weed couldn’t believe the situation.

“Didn’t you begin with 10 Wisdom when you start out?”

Sculpting didn’t require high stats on Wisdom similarly to something like magic, one only need to be at the basic level in order to acquire it; but the Geomchis didn’t even meet the basic requirement on the stat. Geomchi3 mouth opened as if he realized something.

“Oh, I may know why. Our intelligence got reduced.”

“……”

“No, Weed, that’s not what I meant… Initially, we started out at 10; and the former job before martial artists, we reached as much as 60.”

Weed nodded his head. Stats rising in the earlier days were a common phenomenon. If they had fought and beat the Basic Training Center, they can choose to get the specialized job as Martial Artists, which also meant some level of Wisdom was required to change jobs.

“And why do you think wisdom got decreased?”

“I think it was due to the fact we repeatedly hunted and grinded while using the same skill; we spammed it for a few days and our Wisdom got progressively smaller. Though during hunting, on the other hand, it’s not like reduced Wisdom can do anything against monsters.”

“I see.”

Simplistic repetition and Wisdom got decreased. Weed too, was just like them; but he learned various skills here and there. Having sculpting as base, there was fishing, cooking, repairing, blacksmithing, sewing, and collecting and taking advantages of herbs.

Geomchis, however, limited themselves only with skills that can be utilized in battles; they gradually fought and honed their skills, while completely neglected the decreasing Wisdom along the way.

Simple ignorance!

This situation was not only the revelation of their stats, but also their characteristics as well. Weed carefully advised them.

“If your Wisdom is too low, you won’t be able to learn new skills when a situation arises that requires you to do so. So you better increase your Wisdom before entering the town.”

“Yes, it seems we better do that.”

Anyhow, since they can’t learn sculpture, their chances of entering the town were pretty much spoiled.

“Hunt the nearby surrounding area until you level, and invest all the stat points earned into Wisdom, then you’ll be able to learn the skill.”

Weed had no faith in this plan even though he came up with it. The Geomchis were an arrogant and prideful bunch…whom all shot up to a stand still all at once.

Through the opened village gates, the streetlights inside were lightening up. As the night descended deeper and deeper into the darkness, the once empty streets of the town became animated as every doors flung open and vampires emerge. It seems as if vampires became active at night. Female voices rung from the market streets.

“Buy an apple!”

“Selling apples as sweet as honey here.”

Female vampires were selling apples on the market square. Immaculately white skin and straight nose, they had a slender build. However, this was something that cannot be viewed in normal senses. Slim waistline along with a sizzling bodies of the vampires was unlike the pure and innocent girls!

“Koeheok!”

“Th…the land of dreams, man……”

Geomchi3 and Geomchi4 body shuddered. From Geomchi5 to Geomchi505 swiftly rushed toward the light, with Geomchi leading the herd.

“Brother guards!”

“……”

“We’re willing to serve, what would you like? Maybe something like a back massage?”

“You can even take our barley breads that we use sparingly……”

Though the Geomchis had absolutely no ability to flatter, the vampires were heart-struck by their desperations. The guards gave them a simple quest.

“A bunch of healthy humans; it would have been better if they were females, but this is a huge source of fresh blood. We’re tired vampires have exhausted our lifeblood.”

Ttiring!

Quench the Vampires’ thirst.

The guards’ livers have been grumbling since they’ve been working hard protecting the town, and have accumulated a huge amount of fatigue. The rumbling meant needs for extra blood. Fresh, healthy human blood.

Difficulty: E

Quest limit: Only available until the Vampires’ vitality been refilled.

Needless to say, they all accepted without a single rejection. The guards plunged their fangs into Geomchis’ nape of the neck.

Juuuuuuk!

Bitten by a Vampire.

Power was reduced.

Vitality continues to declines.

Burning at the nape!

Geomchis lined up systematically to give blood in order to get into town, and none bore any grudge toward the vampires.

“Iyahh, its only blood…”

“I’d do it a hundred times over for the ladies without an ounce of regret.”

Pale and Zephyr were enlightened.

‘I will be better toward Maylon.’

‘I don’t want to be like that at all; men being so transparently needy of women.’

The extreme playboy Zephyr had a major epiphany. For he who was able to get girls as easily as he was with fishing, he realized that the road he was on would eventually leads to futility.

‘And I travel with some pretty nice girls.’

Zephyr glimpsed around at his party members. Irene was simply kind by nature, she never as so much as used curse words toward anyone. Though occasionally quite feisty, the easygoing Romyuna knew how to have fun.

The young and childlike Surka was cute, while the alluring Hwaryeong was the complete opposite. Her dances were the first instances of her charms; then sometimes when she was in the mood, she’d sit on a rock and starts to sing, one of the crucial factors that made the adventures more enjoyable.
