Episode 56. Counseling on concerns.
“Pfft.”
Iona hummed as she walked through the store area. Iona was in a very good mood as she went shopping in the store area for the first time in a long time to buy daily necessities needed for the Magic Tower.
Iona is on her way back after finishing her shopping spree.
“Nyan nyang nyang.”
A yellow cat walked from the other side with a lot of strength on its shoulders.
and
“What?”
He was a mid-sized wandering merchant who fearlessly blocked his path.
“Don’t you know who I am? Get out of the way!”
“So you don’t know who I am?!”
Elka was having fun watching the two little kids argue with each other about how great they are.
at that time
“…?!”
Elka found a toothpick-like red wooden cane that the cute hamster was carrying on its back. There was an ominous black gem encrusted at the end of the staff, and golden letters were densely engraved on the black gem.
‘Is that… the staff of disaster?!’
The Staff of Disaster was one of only three legendary items in the tower and was the sacred item of Iona, the head of the Wizards’ Association, known as the Wizard of Great Destruction.
You mean that hamster?!
When Elka was confused, Theo looked at her and told her to hurry up and explain what she was.
‘What do we do?’
On one side was the great black dragon’s subordinate, and on the other was Iona, the sorceress of destruction. Both are incredible beings.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Elka flicked her tongue between the two giant beings with a perplexed expression.
If others had seen it, they could have seen it as a giant wolf looking down at a small cat and a hamster, but in reality, Elka, the chieftain of the Silver Wolf tribe, felt like his blood was drying up.
“Representative Iona Te is a subordinate of the great black dragon.”
Elka hurriedly revealed Theo’s identity. This was to prevent Iona from attacking Theo.
Iona, the wizard of great destruction. It is said that with just one shot of her magic, a huge mountain can disappear and a river can be created. If Iona attacked Theo out of anger, Theo would die immediately.
“Silver Wolves, is that true? If it is false, you will all be put to death for impersonating the name of the great black dragon.”
“I swear on my tribe that I will never lie.”
As Iona began to look intently into Elka’s eyes to see if he was telling the truth, he said,
“Don’t bother my subordinate! “Talk to me!”
Theo came forward excitedly.
“Then prove that you are the great black dragon’s servant.”
“How can you say that?”
“If you are truly a servant of the Great Black Dragon, then take me to the Great Black Dragon.”
Iona planned to ask the great black dragon to solve the Red Locust invasion on the 67th floor of the tower.
But
“You mean for free?”
Theo said as if he had no idea. I had the merchant’s intuition that I shouldn’t just accept it.
“Is there something you want?”
“First of all, I have something to live here, and Iona wants me to pay for it all.”
“Yeah… of course.”
Iona was taken aback by Theo’s answer. I thought she was going to say something big, but she was saying something too trivial. Iona treated Theo strangely. Theo went
to a different general store than the one he had been to before. This was because the owner recognized him as a mid-sized wandering merchant and gave Iona the goods for free, so Iona would not receive anything in return. Theo went into
the general store and bought it. I started picking out the items.
The items requested from Sejun were 3 large pots, a frying pan, and 10 glass bottles, but today, because I was going to spend Iona’s money, I added 90 glass bottles and a straw hat similar to Sejun’s out of selfish interest.
” A total of 21.1 topcos.”
“Here…”
When Iona was about to pay,
“I want you to cut it!”
Theo started cutting it three times. Following Sejun’s words to always cut it three times when buying something. It was for the sake of it. Theo was a cat who was not flexible at all when it came to Sejun’s instructions.
“I understand. Then I’ll give it to you for 13 top coins.”
“Pay it quickly!”
Theo, who had made three cuts, looked at Iona and said,
‘What is that cat?’
I thought he was going to ask for something big, but he asked for something trivial, and the store lowered the price three times to save himself money.
When Iona was looking at Theo in confusion, she said,
“Fuhuhuhu. Next is the blacksmith shop!”
Theo, who was in a good mood wearing the straw hat he had just purchased, took the lead and went to the blacksmith shop.
When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, fortunately, it was a different clerk than the one who had given him a free lottery ticket last time.
“Sharpen it . Dalnyang!”
This time, Theo cut 3 times and had Iona pay 12.5 Top Coins for the cost of drawing the equipment. Then, Theo looked at the items in the drawing corner.
“Shall I help you?” He
put out both front paws and looked quietly. Iona asked while looking at Theo who was wrapping his arms around her. As a wizard, Iona could of course use emotional magic, so she tried to repay Theo for saving her money.
But
“…”
Theo did not answer and continued. I concentrated.
At that moment
,
Theo grabbed an object. It was a small ring. There was nothing I was attracted to, so I grabbed the thing that appealed to me the most.
“I’ll appraise it.”
Iona, who had been ignored once, stepped forward to help again,
“It’s okay.”
Theo said . refused. His own beard strongly rejected it. For some reason, he felt a sense of crisis that if he appraised it and took it, he might be hated by a scary being.
“Pyeong! all right! “So you don’t need my help?!”
Instead, I received the hatred of a slightly less scary being.
Quing.
The wolves followed along, looking at the two with anxious hearts.
***
Kueng!
Shaking.
Now they can freely change their body size. Kueng, who was able to control it, came into the cave and shook Sejun’s body to wake him up.
“Uhm… is Kueng here?”
Sejun opened his eyes and started the morning of the 224th day of the shipwreck by going to the wall and adding a stroke.
Kueng. Kueng.
Kueng followed Sejun with a glass bottle filled with honey and begged him to get some honey quickly.
“okay.”
Click.
Sejun opened a glass bottle of honey and poured a gulp of honey onto Kuengi’s front paw.
Clap, clap.
As Kueng eagerly began licking the honey, Sejun returned the glass bottle to its original location.
There were three more glass bottles full of honey. Now that the number of poisonous bees has exceeded 1,000, the daily honey production has reached the equivalent of one and a half glass bottles.
Sejun went to the pond, washed his face, and had breakfast with the rabbits.
There was nothing special going on today, so I had a leisurely breakfast. The brick house was almost completed thanks to the cooperation of the Architect Rabbit and the Black Minotaur, and the crops were growing well.
Sejun started his morning farming by harvesting cherry tomatoes as usual.
Suddenly.
[15 magical cherry tomatoes were harvested at the same time.]
[Job experience increases slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. 4 Mastery increases slightly.]
[Skill Increase Lv. Harvest with an effect of 1 Lv. The skill level of 4 increases by an additional 5%.]
[450 experience points have been obtained.]
When Sejun took the cut cherry tomato branch to the front of the storage room,
boom!
Awesome!
Wow!
The baby rabbits, who were now fully accustomed to farming, took the cherry tomatoes off the branches and stored them in the storage.
Then, several cherry tomato branches that had exhausted their usefulness were tied together and sent to the ground. The cherry tomato branches, along with the pie leaves, will go into the stomach of the Black Minotaur.
“Phew. It’s over.”
The cherry tomato field was now close to 1,000 pyeong, but Sejun’s body was different from before, so the finishing time was similar to before.
Sejun finished harvesting cherry tomatoes and went up to the ground.
Then
“Oh!”
I saw yellow flowers blooming in the peanut field.
Weeing, weeing.
Poisonous bees gathered busily to suck nectar from peanut flowers. I felt like I would be able to eat peanuts soon.
“Heungheungheung.”
Sejun, who felt good about having new food, hummed a song and went to the green onion field.
“Wow. This is a forest now.”
The green onion field, which had been divided and planted each time the roots were divided, was now over 2,000 pyeong.
Creep. Creep. Creep.
I could hear the sound of the mother rabbit and the sickle rabbit working hard to cut the green onions, but I couldn’t see where they were because the leaves of the green onions were so thick.
If the green onion fields continued to grow like this, it seemed like there might be a rabbit in distress in Sejun’s green onion field, just as people disappear in corn fields in the United States.
“This is not the time.”
Sejun also hurriedly joined the green onion field and started cutting the leaves of the pies.
Creep. Creep. Creep.
How much time has passed like that?
Bye!
The black rabbit called Sejun. Have lunch!
Before I knew it, my wife’s rabbit, who had gone down to the cave, prepared a meal with the gray rabbits and brought it back to the ground.
The menu included steamed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, and grilled fish.
“Ugh. I’m full.”
Sejun, who had eaten his fill of lunch, poured coffee into a tumbler and sat down.
Kkueng…
Kkueng…
The black rabbit and Kkueng came to Sejun’s side to take a nap.
“Kueng transforms.”
Sejun said with a stern expression, because if you let it sit on your lap because you were fooled by its small size, you would have a lot of trouble later.
Kueng…
Kueng, who wanted to sleep on Sejun’s lap with the black rabbit, was disappointed, grew up, and fell asleep with his belly pressed against Sejun’s back.
Bylolong.
Kurorong.
While listening to the snoring sounds of the black rabbit and Kueng, Sejun raised his skill level by creating shadows and moving the dark clouds around using the Dark Cloud Creation.
[The mastery of <Making Dark Clouds> increases slightly.]
When you are raising your mastery of making dark clouds like that,
[The tower manager requests that you want to eat something spicy.]
[A quest occurs.]
[Quest: Spicy food for the depressed Eileen. Treat them.]
Reward: Reduces Eileen’s depression.
When rejected: Eileen, who is extremely depressed, goes into dark mode.
Eileen, who had not responded so far, spoke up.
***
“Open!”
Eileen shouted as she poured mana into the portal in the administrator’s area. However, it was impossible to activate the portal with Eileen’s tiny mana.
“profit!”
Eileen tried eating dozens of magic cherry tomatoes at once, but it was no use. It was just delicious.
“Aaaah! I won’t do it!”
Eileen eventually gave up on activating the portal, which she had been trying to do for several days.
Instead…
“I will solve it myself.”
Like her grandfather, she left the administrator’s area and decided to solve it herself.
But
“Huh?!”
Eileen said, “I will solve it myself.” As soon as I left, I hurried back to the administrator’s area, feeling like the world was spinning. The
Dragon Heart, which was still weakly beating, could not cover the mana consumed to maintain Eirin’s body outside the administrator’s area.
“Huh… You amazing human… I want to eat something spicy.” A
depressed Eileen looked for Sejun.
***
“Dark mode?”
I don’t know what it was, but I thought Eileen shouldn’t go into dark mode.
“Wait a minute.”
Sejun hurriedly said. I went down to the cave with 5 dried semi-dried squid and started making stir-fried squid. I didn’t spare any effort to shake off the last remaining red pepper powder.
While Sejun was making spicy stir-fried squid ,
[Top’s manager was crying and asking for counseling for his concerns. .]
“Consultation for concerns?”
Eileen confessed her concerns.
“So the Red Locust invaded the 67th floor of the tower?”
[The tower’s administrator says yes.]
[If the tower’s administrator neglects the Red Locust, the group will become more powerful. They say it will evolve into.]
Sejun recognized the seriousness of the situation after hearing Eileen’s words. A swarm of locusts evolving by eating everything…
“First, I’ll see if I can help, too.”
Sejun finished comforting Eileen. I gave him stir-fried squid.
[Quest completed.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, Eileen’s depression after eating spicy food decreases.]
‘What should I do?’
Creep. Creep.
Sejun cut the pie leaves all afternoon, thinking about how to deal with the Locust. But there was no right way.
At that time,
“Ugh.”
Sejun’s hand, which was holding the pie leaf to cut, got slightly cut by the pie leaf.
“What? ?”
When Sejun looked at the pie leaf that cut his finger, the texture was completely different from the other leaves. It felt like touching metal. I was lucky. If I made a mistake, the pie leaf was hard and sharp enough to cut my finger.
Is this?! Sejun, who felt something strange, pulled out the roots of the green onions.
[Harvested green onions with strong blades.] [
Job experience increases very slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. 4 skill level increases slightly.]
[Skill Increase Lv. . With the effect of 1, the harvesting Lv. 4 mastery increases by an additional 5%.]
[30 experience points have been obtained.]
“Huh?!”
[The achievement of creating a new breed in the tower has been achieved.]
[The tower has created a new breed. I grant you exclusive cultivation rights.]
[You cannot cultivate solid blade green onions without your permission.]
[Job experience increases significantly.]
Sejun hurries to check the options for the second new variety, solid blade green onions. While doing this, Theo came
back
with a hamster.
