[Protagonist of the Extremely Honorable Painting]
[* One-time limited skill .
When used, your information will return to what it was when the extremely honorable painting was made .
However, it will only be the stats and skills information . Additional information such as titles, class, status, race, age, and so on aren’t affected . ]
This was the new skill at the bottom of Grid’s skills list . Grid had a headache for the past 20 days because of this skill . At first, he was happy about being the protagonist of an extremely honorable painting and was excited to realize that he had a power similar to a single player ‘save’ point . Then he reached a stage of anxiety .
“It seems to imply that I will soon experience something terrible . . . ”
It was a natural phenomenon . Think about it . A save file was only needed in the worst situation . Going by the way things were now, the save file would be his last resort . The fact that Satisfy provided a save point was like a warning that sooner or later, he would experience something he couldn’t resolve . Grid already felt sick, and the expression in his eyes was dark .
“I don’t know what will happen . . . ”
He was afraid . Grid was reminded of the fact that he was currently experiencing an episode regarding the gods and seven malignant saints .
“Well, nothing has ever been easy . ”
The Hexetia temple had been completed . Grid’s shaking eyes calmed as he wore the crown on his head prior to the completion ceremony . It was just like the days when he was an unknown warrior, when he sought for Pagma’s Rare Book, when he became a lord, when he fought against a great demon, when he became a king, or when he cleansed the Behen Archipelago .
Grid had walked along a thorny road . It had always been painful and difficult . However, he had endured the pain and finally overcome it . He had gotten good results and was now able to step forward . A new trial might be waiting for him, but he had been tempered both mentally and physically .
Grid thought, ‘The save point is insurance . So far, I have fought without insurance . I can overcome the trials in the future more easily . ’
He wouldn’t stop . He would challenge how far he could reach . Grid pledged inside his heart and left the office . He went down the stairs to the first floor and saw the extremely honorable painting that Picasso had drawn 20 days ago . All those who entered the castle would see the extremely honorable painting first .
Grid’s expression twisted, and he started sweating . “Why did you hang up the painting here?”
Lauel followed him and responded to the question, “Isn’t it natural to decorate the castle with a portrait of the king?”
“No, it’s embarrassing . ” Grid blushed . No matter how he looked, he was too handsome in the portrait . It was clear that Picasso had beautified him in the painting . “I don’t want to scam people like this . . . ”
“Why?”
“Don’t you know what a selfie swindler is? This is something that will cause extreme levels of hatred!” (TL: Someone whose selfie looks really good but the real appearance is much poorer)
“Hah . . . ? Haven’t you looked in a mirror? There is no difference between your actual appearance and the extremely honorable painting . Picasso has reproduced the image of the time when you were in full concentration . ”
“Don’t talk . ”
How could Grid be so good looking when he was concentrating? If that was the case, would he really be single? Wouldn’t women be lining up in front of him? Grid shook his head and rushed forward . He didn’t have a lot of time because the opening of the Hexetia temple would soon begin .
‘I’m curious about what Hexetia’s reaction will be . ’
What would Hexetia’s reaction be after the first temple for him was built? Grid hoped that Hexetia would rejoice . He wanted Hexetia’s feeling of alienation to be removed, for his self-esteem to be restored, and for him to stop feeling envious . At that moment . . .
‘Then I will be able to cleanse the First Holy Sword . ’
Grid would get the goddess’ blessing and use it to enhance his blacksmithing, reaching a higher level .
“Attention!”
“Protect King Grid, the sun that surrounds the kingdom!”
Dozens of young knights saluted Grid and started to escort him . Coke was an exception . He was waiting in the palace for Prince Lord to finish his preparations .
“The king is coming!”
“Open the way for the king!”
As Grid was surrounded by knights, thousands of elite soldiers wearing the Grid mass-produced set made by craftsmen opened the way for him . Tens of thousands of people on the street watched the king’s procession .
Duguen! Duguen! Duguen! Grid’s heart thumped, and he completely shook off the anxiety about the dangers he would face one day . He had faith . After all, Grid was no longer alone and didn’t have to rely on his own strength .
‘They are protecting me, just as I protect them . ’
This wasn’t a time to be aloof . He was too weak to remain aloof to everyone . It was a time filled with countless people, making him even more powerful .
***
The Hexetia temple, open to the public and people of the Overgeared Kingdom, was very small in comparison to the Goddess Rebecca temples . The temples of Goddess Rebecca, which existed all over the continent, boasted the same size as one of the larger churches in the middle of Gangnam, while the Hexetia temple was like a temple built on top of a mountain .
Still, no one could scoff at the quality . Its exterior and interior were all crafted from the finest marble . The design work of dozens of architects was visible, and dozens of sculptors had worked hard to sincerely recreate Hexetia’s image . Additionally, there were hammer and anvil motifs everywhere .
The highlights of the temple were the two statues placed side by side outside the temple . The five-meter-tall Hexetia statue was a recreation of God Hexetia whom Grid had seen . Meanwhile, the seven-meter-tall Rebecca statue had on a dignified and compassionate expression . They were much better than any statues Grid had ever seen .
He heard the sculptor had asked for a ridiculous pay, but wasn’t this worth it? Well, perhaps . . .
[A temple of God Hexetia has been completed in Reinhardt, the capital of the Overgeared Kingdom!]
[This is the first temple for Hexetia!]
[The artistic value of the statues that perfectly recreated the appearance of God Hexetia and Goddess Rebecca has pierced the sky!]
