Chapter 49: Daily Life in Qingshan Town (Autumn - Stone Sculpture)

 Early autumn of 9985 in the Magnolia calendar.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

Hogg, who was naked to the upper body, gently held a short blade and waved it in front of a huge rock. Stone chips were constantly falling from the rock.

Gradually, the rock deformed little by little, gradually turning into the appearance of a four-legged beast.

Looking at the half-finished stone sculptures in front of him, Hog Baruch breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning from the Warcraft Mountains for the second time, Hogg had another hobby - stone carving.

Hogg Baruch, who had learned stone carving skills when he was young, wanted to become a master and earn gold coins to support his family. Then, Hogg discovered that he had no talent for stone carving at all, and he succeeded in carving ten times in a row.

I couldn’t sell any silver coins, so naturally I didn’t study further.

Ever since he was young, Hogg has always been eager to make great achievements in stone carving. In the days when his memory was just awakened, Hogg had an urgent need for strength, so naturally he would not be distracted from studying stone carving.

But now that he has half-stepped into the Holy Realm, the most important thing every day is to accumulate fighting energy. With more free time, he also studies stone carving techniques.

Stone carving art is a high-class art in Yulan Continent.

There are only a few stone carving masters in the history of Yulan Continent, and their status is lofty.

There are only five or six stone carving masters in the entire Holy Alliance. In terms of status, they can even talk to the powerful ones in the Holy Territory on an equal footing.

Even a master of stone carving will definitely be looked down upon in the aristocratic circle, and he is a relatively respected figure. Of course, a master of stone carving is not too inconspicuous to enter the circle of the truly powerful.

Originally, Hogg's stone carving skills could only be described as "proficient". According to the standards of "stone carving craftsmen", they were all considered unqualified and could only be said to be at the level of "stone carving apprentices".

But after Hogg broke through to the realm of "rules of life" in his combat skills, he became very good at carving stone sculptures.

His understanding of the rules of life was accumulated through his sword skills, and he finally had an epiphany when using his body skills.

But the rules of life are not only skills that can be used when fighting with swords and escaping with body skills.

Speaking at a young age, if you are good at one skill, you can be good at all kinds of skills.

Speaking more broadly, the rules of life are the rules for the operation of heaven and earth, and they are everywhere.

Simply relying on his meticulous control of his own power, Hogg can use any carving tool perfectly, and can easily "project" the thoughts in his mind into the stone sculptures.

After entering the rules of life, Hogg felt the artistic conception of the rules of life. As long as he carves carefully, he can give the stone sculptures a spirituality and charm, which is a kind of vitality and spirituality derived from life.

In the beginning, he started studying stone sculpture just to ‘fulfill his dream’.

But gradually, Hogg also realized that carving stone carving itself was also a direction of studying the mysterious rules, so he was naturally willing to invest more energy in studying it.

Hogg's stone carving skills have improved rapidly.

The difference between him and those stone carving masters does not lie in "expression" and "charm", but in the lack of solid foundation of stone carving skills.

As long as the foundation is laid firmly, he will have one foot on the threshold of becoming a master of stone carving.

So in the beginning, what Hogg carved were "semi-finished products" with "charm" and "spirituality", but there were a lot of low-level mistakes in the stone carvings.

If a stone carving master were asked to rate his works, these stone carvings would be extremely "partial" and can be called weird.

So Hogg did not sell these stone sculptures.

The polishing and research of skills takes time.

After polishing his stone carving skills for several months, in October of the year 9985 of the Yulan calendar, Hogg completed a complete stone carving and spent a day carving a stone "Snow Wolf".

The stone sculpture "Snow Wolf" is based on our own dog Xiaobai.

The Baruch family and even some residents of Wushan Town have seen the stone carving and said that the stone carving is indeed very gorgeous and looks like a real snow wolf. The snow wolf looks up to the sky and roars, stepping on its prey, and is full of momentum.

Of course, some people think...Isn't this carved "snow wolf" the big white dog in Baruch's family?

It's just that the big white dog shakes its head every day, is obedient, and likes to play with children. Apart from being sloppy, it is just a big dog.

It doesn't have the momentum of a high-level monster at all. It should be just a relatively large white dog, and has nothing to do with the snow wolf.

Hogg also carefully observed the stone sculpture "Snow Wolf" he carved. Although there were many flaws, which were caused by his shortcomings in stone carving skills... But just looking at its overall beauty and charm, it should be considered worthy of recognition.

The above is the work of a master of stone carving.

Hogg first put this stone sculpture in the square of Wushan Town for everyone to appreciate.

After waiting for five days, he asked Hillman to arrange some manpower to deliver the stone sculpture to the Proulx Hall in the Kingdom of Finlay.

A month later, news came back from Proulx Hall.

This stone sculpture "Snow Wolf" was bought by a nobleman for three thousand gold coins.

Stone carving works, master-level stone carving works cost about one thousand gold coins, three thousand gold coins... It is already considered the best among the works of stone carving masters.

The second stone sculpture "Pegasus" that Hogg sent to the Proulx Hall was also bought at a similar price.

A work of master-level stone carving may be the result of an inspiration burst from an ordinary stone carving craftsman.

If you can produce two master-level stone carving works, there is no chance.

This also made Hogg a recognized master of stone carving. He had a separate exhibition room in the Proulx Hall, and his social status was greatly improved.

Even the nobles from several surrounding towns showed more respect and enthusiasm than before when they saw him.

Of course, no one knows how much respect the little nobles around him have for him. Part of it is because Hogg has become a master of stone carving.

And some of the reasons are due to the sudden death of the nobles who had previously threatened Wushan Town.

After all, with Hogg's temperament, how could he let go of someone who had targeted his family, wife and children?

As for killing humans.

He is a person who has been in the central space and has traveled all over the world. He really doesn't take murder like this seriously.

With his strength, it was really not a big deal to kill a few minor nobles without leaving any trace. Hogg only killed them and their minions, and did not kill their whole family. This was already very merciful.

Of course, this incident also alerted him.

The master of stone carving does have status and status. With his ability, it is not a problem to become a master of stone carving.

He is a master of stone carving and has a lofty status, but he must not be blinded by these "status" and forget his true support.

Strength, only strength is what he truly relies on!.

To enjoy this comfortable and peaceful life, the most important thing is strength!

Without strength, everything is in vain.

So... improving status through stone carving skills is just a side detail.

Understanding the rules of life through stone carving skills is the right path. The rich dragon blood fighting spirit and the mysterious "Mystery of Life" combat skills are his foundation!
