The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 49 Daily Life in Qingshan Town (Autumn - Stone Sculpture)
It is the early autumn of 9985 in the Magnolia Calendar.

"Clang clang ~"

Hogg, who was naked to the upper body, gently held a short blade and waved it in front of a huge rock.There are constant pieces of stone falling from the rocks.

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

Looking at the half-finished stone sculpture 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.

Hog 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, Hog 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 I naturally didn't study further.

Since his youth, Hogg has always longed to achieve great success in stone sculpture.During the days when his memory had just awakened, Hogg had an urgent need for strength, so he would not be distracted from studying stone carvings.

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 they have a high status.

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 would definitely be looked down upon in the aristocratic circle, and he was considered a relatively respected figure.Of course, stone carving masters are not too conspicuous to enter the circle of truly powerful people.

Originally, Hogg's stone carving skills could only be described as "proficient". According to the standards of "stone carving craftsmen", they were 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 combat skills, he became more comfortable 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 the subtle control of his own power, Hogg is perfect in using any carving tool, and can easily "project" the thoughts in his mind into the stone sculptures.

After entering the rules of life, Hogg sensed 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 improved rapidly.

The difference between him and those stone carving masters is not in terms of "expression" and "charm", but rather 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 at 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 could be called weird.

So Hogg did not sell these stone sculptures.

The honing and research of skills takes time.

After polishing his stone carving skills for several months, in October of the Magnolia Calendar 9985, Hogg completed a complete stone carving and spent a day carving a stone "Snow Wolf".The stone sculpture "Snow Wolf" is modeled after his 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 the prey with its feet, full of momentum,
Of course some people think so. . .Isn't this carved "snow wolf" the big white dog in Baruch's family?

It's just that the big white dog shakes his head every day, is well-behaved, and likes to play with children. Apart from being sloppy, he is just a big dog.

It doesn't have the aura 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, these were caused by flaws in his stone carving skills. . .But just looking at its overall beauty and charm, it should be regarded as 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 Finlay Kingdom.

A month later, news came back from the 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 are about one thousand gold coins, three thousand gold coins. .It is already considered a masterpiece among the works of a master of stone carving.

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

A master-level work of stone carving may be the result of an inspiration burst from an ordinary stone carver, and it may be the result of an unexpected stroke of genius.

Being able to produce two master-level stone carving works means 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 were due to the sudden death of the nobles who had previously threatened Wushan Town.

After all, with Hogg's temperament, he would never 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 things like killing people seriously.

With his strength, it was really not a big deal to kill a few minor nobles without leaving any traces.Hogg only killed them and their minions, but 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.

But 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 empty.

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!
As long as his roots are strong, his strength is strong, and he has a knife in his hand, he is not afraid of challenges and has nothing to panic about.
