Chapter 4) Roderickâs Labyrinth
âKuu, delicious humans have come after a long time. It is possible to finally eat human meat.â
Common flying demons were waiting on the 1st floor of Roderickâs Labyrinth. Weed had been prepared for battle from the moment he came down the stairs so he instantly used a skill.
7 eagles flew out and hit the demon soldierâs body!
The first demon soldier he met had incredible resilience.
âOnly this degreeâŚâ
It was said that originally intermediate demons existed on the Versailles Continent. The demons were weakened under the influence of the gods and destroyed. Thatâs why they looked for contractors and took over the body of warlocks. The demons exerted a powerful influence over the land if they were underground and were difficult to subdue.
âI raised Radiant Sword to this degree and it didnât even make a scratch.â
The demon soldier wielded a thorn-studded whip.
âThis much is ridiculous!â
Weed rolled and avoided the whip. The whip shot out and opened a deep gap in the ground. The demon wielded the whip quickly and the range was also wide so it was fairly difficult to avoid.
There was a sharp, scorpion like sting at the end of the whip and had embedded monster teeth. It had a paralysing ability when hit directly.
Health has decreased by 532.
Your bodyâs ability to heal itself is reduced.
The whip attacked from a distance and shaved away at Weedâs health and combat power.
âYou canât continue to run away like a rat.â
âAll humans are similar. They have no sense.â
Weed didnât both talking about the distant future. The paladins from the Freya and Lugh Churches have finally descended the stairs.
âEvil that defies the will of the Gods!â
The brave paladins received the priestsâ blessings and jumped forward.
âThe troublesome believers have come!â
Nevertheless, the momentum was still with the demon soldier. It wasnât possible to deal a blow to the demon with ordinary weapons. Holy power was a demonâs natural enemy but it was level 500 so the soldier wouldnât die that easily. It alone could be a boss class monster!
Even the attacks from the paladins were weakened so the demon soldier received significantly reduced damage.
âDeny the god you believe in. Holy Corruption!â
The demon soldier used a magic to reduce the ability of the paladins. It didnât weaken the paladinâs physical power but their holy magic. A paladin with weak faith would have lower skills and eventually there was a risk of betrayal.
âHand of Oppression!â
The demon brandished the whip in its right hand and grabbed the air with its left. And a paladin floated in the air like he was caught by a giant hand.
The paladinâs shield and armour was crushed by a strong pressure!
âDirty Soul Fragment!â
An explosion occurred in front of the demon soldier and spread all over the place. The wide area attack skill made it difficult for the paladins.
âThis body has returned to the Goddess.â
âKneeling due to evilâŚâ
2 paladins from the Freya Church had already been killed. The paladins systematically fought in a formation but the magic and whip attack from the demon was very intense. Furthermore, it was difficult for them to even concentrate on attacking.
âI shouldâve expected it to be like this from the beginning. Not many paladins and priests have entered yet. Van Hawk, Torido!â
Weed called his subordinates. He had wanted to avoid summoning a Death Knight and Vampire Lord if possible. If the paladins and priests saw them then their morale would weaken. They were worse enemies so an adverse effect would occur despite Weedâs high leadership. But defeating the demon right now was more pressing.
âUnderstood, Master.â
Van Hawk rushed to the front as soon as he appeared. The Death Knight had the same attribute as the enemy. And the demon was a strong monster but it couldnât be compared to Barkhan. Van Hawk also grew as his battle experience accumulated.
âThat is a demon soldier. MasterâŚbeautiful girls coming to a place like this.â
Torido mumbled and quickly headed to the side of the demon.
A vampireâs battle style was to dazzle the enemy! The priests used this break to heal paladins injured or suffering under a curse. The many priests meant that the wounded soldiers could recover their combat ability quickly. If they didnât die then combat power could be restored.
The paladins holding their shields and swords continued coming down the stairs until eventually Alveron and Derian arrived. Bahamorg was the last one to enter Roderickâs Labyrinth.
Weedâs plan was to come in first to clear any demons at the entrance. Bahamorg was instructed to enter last in case Weed needed saving.
The priestsâ holy magic supported the paladinâs pincer movement and the demon received a cruel blow. The whole place was filled with a holy power as the demon was wrapped in a holy light.
Torido and Van Hawk had played active role in reversing the situation. Now the situation didnât require them any longer. Weed wanted to raise his two subordinates but he had to give that up due to the priests and paladins entering the labyrinth.
He had to sacrifice something in order to pretend to be good.
âHumans. Disgusting humans have come here!â
The demon swung its whip despite suffering from the paladins and the priestsâ holy magic. But it couldnât last longer once Bahamorg joined and turned grey as its life was lost.
Ultimately 3 paladins were sacrificed. It was their first time dealing with a demon and they entered Roderickâs Labyrinth via a narrow staircase so they received quite a bit of damage. It was far more advantageous to gather the priests and paladins together and have them use long ranged holy magic.
But once they entered deeper into the labyrinth, at least 10 or 12 demon soldiers would appear at the same time. Even the Morningstar Guild couldnât last against 13 demons and were wiped out. And nobody had continued deeper so there was no telling what dangerous places there were.
âI knew there was going to be troubleâŚit canât be avoided.â
Weed repaired the armour and sword of the paladins while they were resting. Having the Blacksmith skill in an expedition was essential to maintaining their power.
âThank you very much. Your Majesty.â
âIt is a honour to have you sharpen my sword directlyâŚâ
âYou have learned skills to punish the wicked and establish justice. I have to do everything I can since you are fighting the demons.â
Weed was able to slightly raise his intimacy with the paladins. Of course, that would only come in handy if the paladins lived.
âProtection of Faith!â
Weed led the paladins and started carefully hunting in the labyrinth. It wasnât difficult to deal with the mutated monsters made by the magician Roderick.
âBahamorg, lure them.â
There were many powerful monsters with levels in the late 400s. Even if the personal power of the paladins and priests were weak, their combat power was a group was outstanding. Recovery magic was available so it was possible to do a quick first aid in a long battle.
There werenât any monsters that could threaten the groupâs lives but they were decent to hunt. The strengthening auras on the paladins also had a significant effect. The Freya Church had a bright purple aura while the Church of Lugh had a white aura. The paladins fought spectacularly while radiating an aura according to their faith.
Maximum health has increased.
Mana has greatly increased.
The damage to the enemy will become stronger with every successful attack.
When facing a stronger enemy in a frontal attack, fighting spirit will activate and resilience will improve.
There were many undisclosed places on the continent with high ranking monsters that wasnât possible to enter. But it wasnât unusual when this much power was gathered.
â2 people died this time.â
Every time a demon soldier emerged, Weed carefully commanded the paladins but those that showed even a little gap were sacrificed. The level difference between the demons and paladins was too serious.
His brain worked quickly as he tried to find a way to fight against the demons. The weak paladins who judged that they couldnât avoid death were determined to drag the enemies down with them into hell. Despite fighting defensively, 11 paladins had already died in the labyrinth.
âI need to make sure the paladins donât decreaseâŚif I canât find a way to navigate the labyrinth then the damage will only worsen.â
The morale of the paladins had yet to fall. They had confidence in the hero who saved the continent and Weed also had high achievements with the Freya and Lugh Churches.
But once they entered the labyrinth a little deeper, 5~6 demons would emerge. The labyrinth was complicated and difficult to grasp their location. Whenever Weed encountered a crossroad, he would unconditionally select the left path.
âI feel like I should go to the rightâŚbut that is unlucky so letâs go to the left.â
Monsters and demons kept on showing up. But there were many times when he returned to a place they had been. The entire labyrinth was filled with spatial distortions, spatial expansions and magic so it was difficult to find a path.
Weed didnât know where the group was but they seemed to be circling around the labyrinth. As they reached the centre of the labyrinth, there were many crossroads and spatial distortions. They endlessly fought in Roderickâs Labyrinth as they ran out of food and were killed by the monsters and demons.
Yoo Byung-jin watched the monitor with satisfaction.
âIt is really severe this time.â
The Versailles Continent was suffering from the wars between prestigious guilds. The Hermes Guild temporarily stopped their war but everyone knew it would resume again once preparations were finished. And that time was fast approaching.
In order to compete with the Hermes Guild, other guilds were attempting to occupy more territory. In the meantime, the Embinyu Church was also devastating the continent. Yoo Byung-jin enjoyed Weedâs adventure more than the war.
âIf he doesnât succeed then heâll be wiped out. And the current probability of success if 0.2% at most.â
The artificial intelligence calculated the odds of Bahamorg, the paladins and priests making it through Roderickâs Labyrinth. Weed was the variable here. Weedâs pure combat ability would slightly increase those odds to 0.23%.
âFinal secret sculpting technique quest. It is very difficult and tricky.â
It was a quest that required all of a personâs power. The mobilization of sculptural lifeforms was necessary and Weed shouldâve even created more sculptural lifeforms. Even if he did this, the calculated probability of success was approximately 5%.
Yet Weed didnât many the sculptural lifeforms into Roderickâs Labyrinth for some reason. Yoo Byung-jin thought this plan was reckless and stupid.
âNo one has broken through Roderickâs Labyrinth so the true degree of difficulty couldnât be determined. Sometimes there is no choice but to fail even when every effort is madeâŚanyway, the final secret sculpting technique will die here. There have already been a few other profession related skills buried.â
There were secret techniques for knights, warriors and magicians. The quests for the secret techniques were so difficult that people would go hunting in order to become stronger. They became too caught up in increasing their level.
The quests for the secret techniques of other professions were delayed too long and faded away. There was a large number of secrets on the Versailles Continent but people also played a role.
âTsk tsk, 3 paladins died this time.â
Yoo Byung-jin was watching a battle against 2 demons on the monitor and 3 paladins had already been killed.
Once the fight started, it was inevitable they would die against the demonsâ fierce aggressiveness. It was interesting for Yoo Byung-jin to watch Weedâs forces gradually weaken but it became tedious.
âIt should be fascination once half a dozen emerges at once. Many will die then.â
If Weed couldnât obtain the final secret sculpting technique then he wouldnât be able to resist the Hermes Guild and would disappear. Even if that happened, Yoo Byung-jin was still having fun. He wanted to see Weed struggle and fight until the end. It was interesting as Weed was driven into an increasingly more extreme situation. The number of enemies increased as they wandered through the Roderick Labyrinth. Even if they found the path, they were likely to be wiped out while wandering around.
It was a situation where there was a deficient of information on how to find the correct path through the labyrinth. It was close to impossible to reach the room where Roderick studied magic.
-Based on Weedâs character and judgement, Iâve calculated his chances of success in this quest.
Yoo Byung-jin sipped his lemon tea and asked comfortably.
âHow much is it this time?â
He calculated that the probability of success while commanding Bahamorg and the paladins was approximately 0.2%. This was after a comprehensive analysis of Weedâs judgement, leadership and abilities demonstrated in every adventure so far.
-The probability of Weed suppressing Roderickâs Labyrinth is 46.7%.
âWhat did you say? Isnât your calculation incorrect?â
-That is the average number that repeats after calculating it 316,820 times.
âWhy is the success probability so high? It is impossible to find a path through the labyrinth.
-After a review of the existing data, Weed can find a way.
âThe power of the paladins is too weak to conquer the labyrinth.â
-They will be able to demonstrate more strength under Weedâs leadership. The damage will be minimized and they will gradually expand more power.
âThere are a lot of dangerous traps in Roderickâs Labyrinth. Isnât it possible that they will fall into a trap?â
-Whatever crisis Weed gets into, he will make an unpredictable choice.
Yoo Byung-jinâs mood sharply fell.
âOhh, demon henchmen!â
Bahamorg twisted a huge sword. Bahamorg was the only one who could fight against a demon soldier one on one. That wasnât even possible for Weed unless he used Sculpture Transformation or Sculptural Destruction. The demons could use many types of black magic and curses.
âYou are just trash from hell and I will cut your body.â
Bahamorgâs taunt skill!
âA barbarian like youâŚâ
âI wonât kill you smoothly. You will struggle in eternal torment.â
The angry demons brandished their whips towards Bahamorg. Once their magic and curses were concentrated on Bahamorg, they were easier to take care of. The priests showered Bahamorg with healing and blessings so there was no need to worry about the curses.
Bahamorg had a super hard body that deflected attacks and wore the best armour given by Emperor Geihar. He couldnâ receive the concentrated attacks of 2~3 without worry.
Meanwhile the paladins and priests cast holy magic and used their swords as support.
âIt canât be. The other humansâŚâ
âSlaughter them. I have to kill more humans.â
The demons tried to provoke the paladins but Bahamorg persistently interfered.
âYou think you can escape from me? Look at the funny sight of you running away with your tail between your leg!â
Bahamorg caught and firmly held 1 demon soldier. The paladins raised their shields and the defence formation meant that their survival rate increased.
âYou will be complete annihilated according to Lughâs will!â
Lughâs Sword wielded by Derian!
While Bahamorg was defending, Derian would attack. The holy power of the restored Lughâs Sword made even the demons shy away. They were so busy trying to escape and couldnât counter-attack against Derian. Weed hadnât confirmed it but Derian was at least in the mid-500s.
âIf I raise him well then he can play more of a role than Alveron.â
Derian had quick sword skills but most of his strength was based on holy power. He could deal with 2~3 demons by himself but the problem was that the demons avoided Derian.
The blessing magic from Alveron was the best. He sometimes used wide range healing magic. It was dangerous if he cast a holy spell against the demons but he was protected by the paladins.
âI taught him properly. Nevertheless, a lecture is needed for training.â
Weed understood the characteristics of the paladins and made a formation while utilizing Derian and Alveron. The paladins and priests wouldnât fight well without leadership. If a priest didnât cast treatment magic at the appropriate timing then it could be dangerous to the paladins.
But that changed once Weed commanded them.
âUnit 1 will step back after attacking twice and Unit 2 will fill their place. Units 3 and 4 will use a crossbow attack while Unit 5 should be ready with spears to create distractions! Derian will use Lughâs Sword to disturb the demon soldiers.â
The health and vitality of the demons were gradually shaved under the paladinsâ offensive. He commanded the troops against the demons like he was conducting an orchestra. His ability to control the flow of combat like it was music! He thoroughly grasped the characteristics of his subordinates and made them work.
âUnit 7 priests, use holy magic on the right arm of the demon holding the whip!â
The demons possessed high health and excellent defence so it didnât die in a short amount of time. But their ability to recovery was low compared to their level and aggression so hell wasnât well populated with them.
However, they exerted merciless power when weakened so the paladins couldnât relax until they were dead. Weed predicted the movement of the demons and commanded the paladins.
âThere are indeed many good points about fighting in a group.â
Weed liked the feeling of leading a massive number of troops and continuously hunting boss class monsters. The demons were strong but they couldnât face a horde of people. The thing that exerted the maximum force over the demons was holy magic and numerical advantage!
âWe have to fight these cunning fellows. Maintain our numerical dominance and isolate them. Paladins, stab your sword in from behind!â
The demons were too intimidating so it was natural for some paladins to become damaged. When the demon was about to die, it would give up its life and recklessly attack. This would kill a few paladins who couldnât survive even with healing magic. If he didnât prepare and command the troops properly then the formation would collapse and more people would die.
â30 paladins have already been killed.â
Weed sighed. The demons were very high level and the death of each paladin would cause his contribution to the related religion to fall.
âIâm going to have to prepare a bit more.â
He had prepared basic goods before the paladins entered Roderickâs Labyrinth.
Torches, extra swords, minimal food etc.
He brought enough supplies to endure for 1 month and 10 days. The colossal amount of supplies Weed prepared through Mapan was enough to fill 22 carriages. He didnât want the group members to die from lack of food or materials. He had to solve Roderickâs Labyrinth and exit before the supplies ran out.
âI have to move more slowly.â
Weed only moved once the paladins and priests had perfect health and vitality. Of course, he still hadnât found a way to navigate the labyrinth. Even when he returned to a previous place, he still stuck to the left.
âThere are still too many demon soldiers. We need to get used to them.â
There was two methods to get through Roderickâs Labyrinth. One was to quickly visit the centre. The problem was that he didnât know the path but he could conserve his troops. Weed decided to go around.
âI have to fight as much as possible. There are too many unknown things about the labyrinth to recklessly rush forward. There must be a clue somewhere so I have to look through every last corner of the labyrinth.â
Jeidun moved extremely slowly and disabled the traps. At every break, the paladins would switch between sleeping or sentry duty.
The carriages Mapan gave him was baggage in the rear. From the beginning he had prepared for living in Roderickâs Labyrinth.
âLooking for a part to go hunting at Ullenba Lair. I am a level 230 axe warrior and have already hunted there a few times.â
âDoes anyone have purple stones? Iâm looking for 15 of them. It is essential for the success of enchanting magic.â
âThe monsters are dangerous so Iâm looking for people to travel with to Rasuru village.
Time passed on the Versailles Continent while Weed wasnât seen. The Arpen Kingdomâs territory widened and new buildings rose due to technological development. The ambitious architects challenged themselves to complete one building after another as festivals took place throughout the kingdom.
âHooray the Arpen Kingdom!â
âThe performance to commemorate the completion of the clock tower is starting now.â
âGrass porridge! Grass porridge!â
The Grand Buildings were used to promote the development of the Arpen Kingdom. It was required for users who went hunting or adventuring for a long time to return to the village.
âIs this place the Yusellin village? I think I made a mistakeâŚâ
âThe walls have widened and there are many people here. How did this village change to a city in a few months?â
âAh, that is the Alkazar Bridge! They were making it when I left but it seems to be completed already.â
âWe can now cross the river using that bridge. Arenât there many lights on the other side?â
âIt is evening so you canât see it well but a city is being built there.â
Users sometimes stood in the middle of the street with dumb surprise.
âWhere do I go if I want to reach the market?â
âWhat do you want to buy?â
âA leather trimming tool for my bag.â
âOh, there is a leather specialist store in the South Square. The larger shopping centre is in the east but it will be difficult to find simple things there.â
âThank you very much.â
The development speed was just as quick as Morata in the past as the entire Arpen Kingdom changed. If the kingdom developed then the capital Morata would prosper even more. It was an obvious choice for beginners to start in the north.
âThe King of the Arpen Kingdom defends our pride and honour. King Weed is the only one who can bring back the glory of the Niflheim Empire.â
âIt is an honour for the Imperial Knights to follow a charismatic and honourable new king.â
Praise for King Weed has spread through the Northern Continent. At first the remaining knights of the Niflheim Empire didnât believe such rumours. However the merchants talked while visiting and the knights gradually opened their hearts. The knights of the Niflheim Empire believe that King Weed of the Arpen Kingdom will lead them to glory.
Vent Castle now belongs to the Arpen Kingdom.
Residents of the Arpen Kingdom will visit Vent Castle and trading and migration is possible. All buildings and land owned by the Vent Castle has become the property of the Arpen Kingdom.
The influence of the Arpen Kingdom in this area has become very high.
âAha! A new trade route has opened.â
âMerchants, quickly go to Vent Castle.â
âWhat local specialities will sell well?â
âThat place does have enough goods so everything from Morata is popular.â
Beginner merchants riding carriages and others form the Arpen Kingdom flocked towards Vent Castle. Adventurers and knights also headed there.
âWhat kind of adventures will be here?â
âGo faster. We have to complete the first quests and dungeons.â
âMiller-nim, donât you have to go work today?â
âI took a one week vacation so I can access the game. The adventure will start today!â
Vent Castle remained intact even after the fall of the Niflheim Empire. It was natural for there to be many rare quests among the residents.
âSir Knight, your method of handling a horse is still immature.â
âIâll teach you the Niflheim Empireâs methods of fighting on a horse.â
âHeok, that is an advanced techniqueâŚ.! I am prepared to die in order to learn it.â
Knights were able to acquire new techniques at the castle.
Many beginners who started in Morata chose a knight profession. Knights steadily rose horses, defended justice and was loyal to the kingdom. They also had high defence that could withstand strong monsters so it was a popular profession. But knights that didnât belong to a village couldnât gain honour and dignity. Those knights were the most pleased about the founding of the Arpen Kingdom.
âNow we can be openly called knights of the Arpen Kingdom!â
âKya kya kya, Iâm going to show off to my friends.â
Knights had influence in the kingdom and could receive better treatment from residents even if they had low fame. Of course, it there was a battle for the kingdom then they were obliged to go out and restore peace. But knights willing to do their duty could obtain a portion of the kingdomâs profit.
âIs there something coming from the sky?â
âIsnât it a cloud?â
âIt seems to be a piece of landâŚâ
Lavias the sky island had arrived in the Arpen Kingdom. The island where the avians lived!
âThe Arpen Kingdom is no joke. Something exciting is always happening.â
âThe pace that the Arpen Kingdom is developing at is hard to match. Iâm a little behind so Iâll have to hunt eagerly.â
âCTS Media has a program related to the Arpen Kingdom every week. And the rumours in the taverns canât be missed.â
Lavias the sky island neared Morata. The users were able to fly to Lavias through items purchased from the stores or quests.
The Grass Porridge Cult had an urgent meeting.
âOur Grass Porridge shouldnât be undeveloped.â
âI agree. We need to spread the excellent taste of grass porridge to all continents.â
âIf they taste the grass porridge then they will join.â
âI want to see a newly born bird pecking at bread.â
The avians joined the Grass Porridge Cult! And there were also discussions about why Weed hadnât shown up for a long time. He succeeded in his hummingbirdâs journey and training Radiant Sword in a storm.
âHe rallied the priests and paladins of the Freya and Lugh Churches to go somewhereâŚI donât know anything but it is bad if we havenât heard any news.â
âDo you think his adventure will succeed?â
âOf course, he is Weed-nim!â
The Hermes Guild didnât pass the time doing nothing.
âThe integration for the occupied areas of the Kallamore Kingdom, Lasalle Kingdom and Britten Alliance Kingdom is almost complete.
âThe Tullen Kingdom?â
âThere are still some things to arrange there. We have the Beden Guild cleaning up the last remaining forces of the Black Lion Guild.â
They made progress against the Cloud Guild of the Britten Alliance Kingdom. They had absorbed key members and slowly dismantling the guild.
The Kallamore Kingdom, Lasalle Kingdom, Britten Kingdom and the Tullen Kingdom had been perfectly devoured by the Haven Empire. The Hermes Guild knew that they wouldnât be able to stop once they started expanding their territory again.
âPay attention to mine development, secure blacksmiths and open a supplies road.â
âWeâve established a plan for conquest.â
They would alienate other guilds while spreading and paying attention to the rear would weaken them. Lafaye prepared a conquest plan that would allow them to proceed without a hitch.
âThe construction of the Imperial Palace?â
âThe construction site is enormous so the completion rate is 83% despite hurrying.â
âDonât worry about the budget and commit to it.â
âThere are no problems. But many decorations and artworks are required for the Imperial Palace. Thatâs why there is a delay.â
Sculptures and artworks were indispensable for the elegance of a palace. The Imperial Palace increased the authority of the Emperor and maximized his grip on the entire Empire.
Normally architects and artists were commissioned by the guild. It was normal for them to complete buildings destroyed by wars. However, most architects with great workmanship moved to the north and they were forced to deal with roadside artists.
The north was taking the lead in cultural development.
They were lacking artists so the construction of the Imperial Palace was behind schedule.
âThe Hermes Guild will begin their war of conquest once the Imperial Palace is completed.â
They didnât have any moral justification to conquer the continent. They just wanted to become the strongest force on the continent!
Their military would advance in 3 directions towards the Gradian, Ritten and Aidern Kingdoms.
âIs there any news about Weedâs situation?â
Rather than the other competing guilds, Lafaye cared more about Weed. Whenever he was quiet, he would suddenly show up and cause a big incident!
âAccording to an analysis from our intelligence network, Weed has entered Roderickâs Labyrinth.
âIs that reliable information?â
âSomeone in Somren City witnessed him hiring the paladins and priests from the Freya and Lugh Churches. And the only place that would require that much power nearbyâŚâ
âRoderickâs Labyrinth. But going there is suicide.â
Lafaye thought it was outrageous for a moment.
âIs he crazy? That is too hard if it is for his Sculpting Master Quest.â
He was surprised since no one had conquered Roderickâs Labyrinth.
âIt will take some time to finish the class quest. If nothing unusual happens then Weed would finish the Class Master Quest first. But if he dies in the labyrinth then his sculpting skill would fall.â
Losing skill proficiency at this moment was serious. The damage was so large that it was likely Weedâs other production skills would fall as well.
âI just donât get it. Roderickâs Labyrinth at this pointâŚcan he clear Roderickâs Labyrinth?â
So far, famous parties had challenged Roderickâs Labyrinth. They all failed to defeat it. The monsters were a problem but so was finding the correct path. The standard of the traps, monsters and maze was high enough to wipe out the whole Morningstar Guild.

âRoderickâs Labyrinth will be Weedâs destruction.â
That was the sobering analysis of the Hermes Guild.
âIn the end, it seems to be that way.â
Lafaye nodded but wasnât entirely convinced.
Something similar had occurred in Continent of Magic. Weed succeeded in all adventures that no one else could accomplish.
