Episode 267 So, I’m off work now!
79th floor of the tower.
Cove, a kingdom of birds that has thrived for hundreds of years and established a brilliant civilization.
However, a few decades ago, all the lakes within the territory dried up, causing problems in the kingdom.
A drought for unknown reasons has occurred. All the lands of the Cove Kingdom were severely fractured due to lack of water.
Queen Prana of the Cove Kingdom solved the problem to some extent by hastily bringing water from another floor, but there was one problem that could not be solved.
That’s the dying mother tree. Even though many birds kept pouring water, the condition of the mother tree got worse and worse.
The mother tree was of great significance to the birds of the Cove Kingdom. Because all the birds in the Cove Kingdom were born from the flowers blooming on the mother tree.
To them, the mother tree is actually their mother.
As the mother tree was drying out, the birds were very worried.
The biggest problem is that as the mother tree dries up, the number of birds being born is decreasing.
And since last year, the chirping of baby birds has almost disappeared from the Cove Kingdom.
As a result, the lively atmosphere of the kingdom’s capital disappeared and was now engulfed in deep despair.
There is a towering mountain in the center of the capital.
At the top of the mountain was a beautiful rainbow-colored castle. It was Cove’s dominant rainbow castle that had been in the same place for hundreds of years.
“Prana, will the messenger birds come looking for someone to save the mother tree this time?”
“You have to trust Louis. These are the children chosen by the tree shaman. “I’m sure someone will come to save Mother Tree.”
Queen Prana of the Cove Kingdom responded to her husband’s concerns with a confident voice that did not waver at all.
A tree shaman who can hear the voice of the mother tree.
Every year, the tree shaman appointed the birds chosen by the mother tree as messengers to go out of the kingdom and retrieve a warrior who could heal the mother tree.
For 10 years, messenger birds were sent out to bring many people, but no one even figured out why the mother tree was withering.
“Prana, then I will go back to get water.”
“is it so.”
When my husband Louis jumped off the terrace of the castle and flew into the sky to leave for another floor, he said,
“Whoa.”
Prana let out the deep sigh he had been holding.
In fact, she was anxious too. He just doesn’t show it because if he shows himself shaking, the kingdom will shake.
“This year, definitely…”
Prana looked at the mother tree in the distance and prayed earnestly that one of the messenger birds would bring someone to save the mother tree.

‘Fuhuhuhu. Making subordinates is also work, so I’m working hard! I think today’s work is done!’
When Theo is looking proudly at his subordinate Piyo,
Piyo! Piyo?
[Leader! But what should I call the captain?]
Even though it wasn’t his name written in the contract, Pyogi, who had decided to become Theo’s subordinate who had already saved him, looked at Theo and asked.
“Fuhuhuhu. Now that I think about it, I didn’t introduce this body! This body is the subordinate of the great black dragon, the fatal dragon claw golden cat Theo Park Danang! For your information, I’m Chairman Park’s right hand man!”
Piyo, who was born not long ago and came outside, does not know what a black dragon is.
Pyo!
[It’s an honor to become Theo’s subordinate!]
I was just happy to become Theo’s subordinate. Here was another kid who didn’t know anything about the world.
“Fuhuhuhu. That’s right! “It is a great honor to be Vice President Te’s subordinate!”
Theo said proudly as he saw Piyote looking at him with respect.
Then
purr.
A sound came from Piyote’s stomach. I haven’t been able to eat anything since I’ve been fighting white snakes here for several days.
“Fuhuhuhu. “Just wait a minute!”
Theo, who thought he could show his subordinates a cool look, opened the box.
But
scribble, scribble.
Even if I put my front foot in the bag, nothing caught.
“There’s nothing!”
It was only then that Theo realized that the luggage was empty.
“Piyo, eat this at least!”
Theo took out the peanuts he had set aside from his pocket to give to Iona.
“thank you!”
Cock, cock, cock.
Piyote began to eagerly split the peanuts.
And
piyot
[it’s delicious!]
snoring.
After tasting the peanuts, Piyo started eating the broken peanuts in earnest.
“Fuhuhuhu. “Eat a lot!”
Theo said as he crushed the peanuts into powder so that Piyo could eat them comfortably.
Pyo!
[Thank you, Theo!]
“Fuhuhuhu. “There’s no need to be thankful!”
Theo smiles sinisterly as he watches Piggy eating peanuts.
‘A single peanut costs 50 Top Coins. My body crushed the peanuts myself, so the service fee is 5 total of 100 Top Coins, so it’s 750 Top Coins!’
As Sejun’s right-hand man, Theo never gave money for free.
Pyo!
[I’m full now!]
Piyo is clutching his stomach after eating 5 peanuts.
“Fuhuhuhu. “If Piyot has eaten everything, let’s pay the bill!”
Theo said, holding out his paw.
Pyo?
[Calculation?]
“That’s right! “If you eat it, you have to pay!”
Piyot… Piyot…
[I don’t have any money… maybe this…]
Piyo took out a pill the size of his body from the small bag he was carrying.
In addition to giving birth to birds, the mother tree also produced eggs as fruits, and the birds sometimes brought it with them as a lunch box when going on long journeys like Piyot.
“Nyan?! that?!”
Theo was surprised to see the egg that Piyot took out. Chairman Park’s favorite fried egg!
Fried eggs are a type of dish made with eggs, but when Theo saw Sejun get excited about fried eggs, the name was imprinted in his head.
Pihihi. Piyo!
[Hi-Hi. I have a lot of these! I’ll give you everything! Instead, exchange it for peanuts!] When
Theo responded well, Piggy hurriedly shouted. Piyo is excited to give up all the not-so-tasty eggs and replace them with peanuts.
“It’s good!” Then let’s get out of here! “Stay behind me, Pyo!”
Pyo!
[Yes!]
When Piyot moved behind Theo,
he started yelling!
“Nyan!”
Theo pulled out his dragon claw and swung his front paw from top to bottom. It was Theo’s second skill, Ilnyangseom.
Damn it.
Five lines were drawn on the body of the Jormungand fragment and
it turned into six parts.
The dead Jormungand fragments turned into powder and disappeared.
Clink.
White coins falling to the floor.
Piyot!!! Piyot!!!
[Theo!!! [It’s amazing!!!]
Piyo is surprised by what he has seen for the first time in his life.
“Piyo, please pick up the coin!”
Theo instructed Piggy to pick up the coin.
Pyo!
[Yes!]
Piyo, who had come to respect Theo even more, quickly flew over and asked Theo for the coin.
Let’s collect all the coins like that.
‘Fuhuhuhu. I even got Chairman Park’s favorite fried egg, so Vice Chairman Teh worked overtime today! So, I’m off work now!’
“Follow me, Piyo!”
Theo, who was confident in himself, turned towards the direction of climbing the tower and spoke to Pyogi in a confident voice.
Piyo! Piyo!
[yes! I want to eat peanuts quickly!]
Piyo is blinded by peanuts. He forgot his duty as a messenger bird to save his mother tree and followed Theo.

Slurp.
“Wow. “Coffee tastes like home cooking.”
After lunch, Sejun frowned as he drank his own coffee using the coffee beans and dripper provided by Black Rabbit.
“It tastes awful···.”
It didn’t taste like the food I had at the castle. It just had an unpleasant sour taste that made me frown.
Slurp.
Still, he needed to replenish his caffeine intake, so Sejun held back and drank coffee.
After enduring the bitter taste and drinking all the coffee,
[I consumed a bitter medicine.]
[Talent: A medicine that is good for stamina is bitter and activates.]
[Stamina increases by 3.]
Coffee is treated as medicine, and stamina increases by 3. .
“Did your stamina increase by 3?”
Thanks to this, Sejun realized how bitter the coffee he brewed was.
“Now I have to go make the rice noodle dough.”
Sejun went to the kitchen and began making rice noodle dough by putting money into the rice dough that swallows relics and goods.
Puck. Puck.
When I was kneading the dough for a long time,
I heard, “Kkueng!”
[Daddy Kueng is here!]
Kueng came back from the western forest after digging some herbs.
“Did our Kueng dig up a lot of herbs?”
Kueng! Kueng!
[That’s right! Kueng brought a lot of herbs!]
Ta-da!
Kuengi answered Sejun’s question by showing his snack bag.
Inside the snack bag were 20 sweet blue arrowroot roots and 3 incredibly bitter white arrowroot roots.
and
“Huh?”
There was one light green arrowroot that I had never seen before.
Kueng! Kueng!
[This smells so sour! Just smelling it makes my mouth water!]
Kuengi said while looking at the light green arrowroot.
“okay?”
After hearing Kuengi’s words, Sejun smelled the light green arrowroot root.
“oh! Can you smell lime from here? Write it.”
When I smelled the fresh smell, my mouth naturally began to water.
“Luckily I didn’t write it.”
Sejun was relieved and took a closer look at the light green arrowroot.
[Kudzu root with overflowing magical power]
Unlike other kudzu roots that absorb life force from living hosts, this kudzu root absorbs magical energy from surrounding kudzu.
It absorbs the magic power of dozens of arrowroot roots with strong vitality and has good weakness.
When consumed, magic power increases by 50 or magic potential increases by 25.
When consumed, there is a small chance to bloom into a talent related to absorption.
It has a strong sour taste.

“Tonight’s dinner is grilled fish.”
As soon as Sejun smelled the lime scent, he wanted to sprinkle the magical lime-scented arrowroot juice on the grilled fish.
Kueng!
[Good!]
Kueng cheers at Sejun’s words. I love everything my dad cooks!
“Then dad will make grilled fish, so Kueng eat this and make some rice noodles for me.”
Sejun said as he put 5 honey jellies into Kueng’s mouth.
Kuhehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. I understand!]
Kueng gently melted the honey jelly in his mouth, picked up the black noodle mold hanging on the wall of the kitchen, put the rice noodle dough that Sejun had made inside,
and Kueng!
I started pressing the dough and pulling out the noodles.
And then
it clicked.
Meanwhile, Sejun took out a fish from the subspace warehouse, put it on a skewer, and started grilling it.
When Sejun had cooked almost 300 pieces of grilled fish,
he [completed the grilled piranha.]
[Cooking Lv. Mastery level of 7 increases slightly.]
[Cooking Lv. The level increases as the skill level of 7 is filled.]
A message saying that the cooking level has increased appears, and Sejun’s cooking skill level rises to 8.
At that time,
“Chairman Park, I’m back!”
Theo shouted, throwing his body towards Sejun.
Swish.
As expected, this time, he dodged Sejun’s hand and
stumbled.
Theo embraces Sejun’s face with his body.
“Hehe! Hehe! “Are you here?”
Thanks to this, Sejun had to spit out Theo’s hair again this time. I guess I’ll have to make another theoball.
“Fuhuhuhu. “That’s right!”
“You must have gone with nothing in your luggage, but you look so happy? “Did you work hard?”
“Fuhuhuhu. Of course! I, Vice President Te, have been working very hard! “I also saved your subordinate over there!”
Theo spoke confidently and turned around to introduce Piyoti.
Kueng?
[Who is it?]
Piyot. Piyot.
[Hello, Chairman Park, the Great Black Dragon. This is Piyoti, Theo’s subordinate.]
I saw Piyoti greeting Kuengi politely as he was making rice noodles. Here, it was determined that the strongest Kuengi was Theo’s captain.
Kueng!
[Kueng is not Chairman Park. His father is Chairman Park!]
Piyot?!
[Huh?!]
Pyogi turned his gaze to follow Kuengi’s front paws and made eye contact with Sejun.
‘ruined···.’
Pyogi was frustrated after ruining his first meeting with Sejun.
