Episode 65. make peace
55th floor of the tower.
Where the royal palace of Red Ribbon, the kingdom of rabbits, was once located. Now, a huge mansion has been built in place of the royal palace.
And inside the room where the owner of the mansion stays.
A huge wild boar was sitting in a room decorated with all kinds of expensive items.
“Have you found my straw hat yet?”
“Yes. I’m sorry. I haven’t heard from the Silver Wolves who entrusted the request yet.”
The wild boar subordinate responded to the words of the great landowner Grid.
“It’s okay. You can find it slowly.”
The straw hat of Patrick, the saint of the earth, had a strong sealing spell on it, so it would not be possible to find out the identity of the straw hat with ordinary emotional magic.
“There are more important things to do than that right now. I’m sure you’ve stocked up on food, right?”
“Yes. After receiving Mr. Grid’s instructions, no food was taken out.”
“Cluck, click. Finally, after 100 years, I have another chance.”
After 100 years, the Red Locust appeared at the tower again. Grid thought this was an opportunity to leap forward once again, just like it achieved the top 55 floors 100 years ago.
So they were waiting for chaos to arise in the tower by deliberately blocking the supply of food and raising food prices.
***
Apple seeds took root downwards to survive the scorching heat. This is because I felt cold energy from below. Following the cold energy, it took root all the way to the bottom of the 99th floor of the tower, where underground water flows.
The apple tree, which was able to withstand the heat by absorbing enough water, waited for the day when it would one day receive sunlight and bloom new buds.
Then one day.
[…?!]
The apple tree, which had begun to absorb heat, became conscious.
And
[Master! The flame is here!]
Flame Apple Tree, who absorbed fire and awakened the flame attribute, called out to Sejun, who had planted him. But Sejun couldn’t hear Flame’s cries.
[Fireworks do not give in!!!]
Flames did not give up and continued to grow their roots, thinking of the day when they would see the light of day, and before they knew it, the roots of the apple tree had grown so large that the corrupted Ents coveted them.
Currently, the roots of the flame apple tree are refraining from growing in order to avoid damaging Sejun’s crops. The bud that Sejun was looking at was the tip of a very small iceberg of the flame apple tree.
***
The seeds of Andong-washed apples that Sejun received from a co-worker and ate on the second day of the shipwreck. After planting the apple seeds in the ground, I completely forgot about them due to the huge growth of pie leaves and other crops.
[and! [It is light!]
Sejun felt very sorry as he watched the apple tree buds being thrilled by the light. They even committed the atrocity of setting fire to the seeds.
‘What have I done to this sweet sprout?’
“Do you need anything?”
Sejun asked Sprout, wanting to do something.
[no! What Flame needed most was his master and light, and now he has them all!]
“Wow. This guy…”
Sprouts even spoke beautifully, impressing Sejun.
“But your name is Flame?”
[yes! My name is Fire!Flower!! I’m so happy that my master calls my name!!!]
“Fireworks?”
It was a name that did not suit an apple tree at all.
Then it
roared.
A pea-sized flame appeared where the bud of Fireworks, which was in a good mood, split open.
“Huh?! Flame, can you control fire?”
[Okay then! I am the apple tree of flame!]
Flame said proudly, making several more flames and moving them as if playing with them.
“That’s amazing.”
[Hehehe. If there is anything you would like to order, please let me know!]
Grrrr.
After receiving Sejun’s praise, Fireworks’ excitement grew to the size of a fist for a moment and then shrunk.
“Then light a fire here.”
Sejun gathered pie leaves and twigs for his wife, Rabbit, and spoke to Flame.
[yes! Yap!]
With the sound of fireworks cheering, a pea-sized spark fell on the firewood.
Grumbling.
The small flame quickly burned branches and leaves, creating a large fire.
“good job.”
[Hehehe.]
Sejun spent time asking Fireworks various questions and praising Fireworks.
After about an hour,
it started crunching.
Flame grew about 5cm.
[master! I have grown!]
As soon as the sun began to shine, the fireworks finally began to grow upward.
“Yes. Our fireworks are great.”
[Hehehe. thank you! Flame will grow up quickly and help the master!]
“Yes.”
I didn’t know what I was trying to help, but I didn’t want to be bothered by Fireworks’ energetic voice.
Sejun stayed by my side, chatting with the apple tree sprout until lunch.
and
“We have a new friend on the farm. His name is Flame.”
While eating lunch, we introduced apple tree sprouts to the animals. In particular, I warned Kuengi never to eat it.
Day 238 of the shipwreck. An apple tree has been added to Sejun’s farm. No, it was found.
Early morning the next day.
Blow. Blow. Blow.
The branch scouts once again invaded Sejun’s farm.
“How dare you target our fireworks!”
Sejun became angry when he found out why the corrupt Ents attacked this place. What are we going to do with this little(?) kid?!
“Drink up, guys!”
At Sejun’s shout, Crimson Giant Bear Hat and Black Rabbit quickly drank Seph’s soup.
Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.
Sejun also took a shot of the chef’s soup in his bowl. It wasn’t hot because it was pre-cooked and cooled.
[Battle rations – You have consumed the correct amount of Chef’s soup.]
[Strength increases by 7.1 for 30 minutes.]
[Saturation remains for 3 hours.]
Sejun and the animals whose combat power increased after drinking Chef’s soup.
“attack!”
Wow!
Kueng!
Damn!
The animals rushed out and destroyed the branch scouts, and Sejun also attacked the branch scouts with a torch and a dagger.
Sejun’s attack power, which had been increased by 7.1 thanks to Seph’s soup, was now able to deal enough damage to the large tree branch scout with limbs.
Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.
Of course, the weapon’s length was short and the damage was low, so he had to attack multiple times…
but after killing the branch scouts, Sejun went back to sleep.
Then
boom!
Something came up on Sejun’s stomach.
“what?”
“I’m back!”
Theo answered confidently.
“Are you here now?”
“That’s right! I made a lot of money this time too!”
“Okay. Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.”
“I understand!”
As Sejun closed his eyes, Theo checked to see if there was anything wrong with Sejun’s knees, then climbed onto Sejun’s stomach and closed his eyes.
Wow.
Gororong.
Theo fell asleep comfortably, feeling stable in Sejun’s stomach, which moved up and down with each breath.
***
“Tsk”
Sejun woke up halfway between breakfast and lunch.
“Huh?! Where did it go?”
Theo had already woken up and wasn’t in the bedroom.
“Let’s take a shower first.”
When Sejun went down to the cave,
he said, “If you need anything in the future, please tell me. Representative Te will solve it.”
Theo was talking to the new recruit, Fireworks.
But
“Nyan! I don’t like fireworks, Nyan! Don’t come near me, Nyan! Anyway, take care of me, Nyan!”
As if the conversation didn’t go well, Theo shouted as he ran out of the cave to avoid Flame’s flames.
“Fuhahaha.”
Sejun laughed out loud thanks to Theo, who gave him a big smile this morning.
Then, after doing my morning routine of marking the date and washing my face, I approached Fireworks and said hello. The flame had already grown to Sejun’s knees.
“good morning.”
[Good morning to you too, master!]
Flame answered in a cheerful voice.
“But why did you and Theo fight?”
[Master…I’m sorry. But you keep trying to give me grilled fish that Theo can’t even eat…]
Fireworks answered Sejun’s question carefully, thinking he was going to get scolded.
“…I’m sorry.”
I followed Sejun for such a long time, but he offered grilled fish to a tree…
Sejun went up to the ground, wondering what to do with this deaf cat.
At that time,
“Chairman Park!”
Theo, who was waiting for Sejun to come up, called Sejun and came running.
And
snap.
He clung to Sejun’s lap and started talking about his sorrow.
“Please give Fireworks a harsh scolding! You harassed me!”
Thump.
Sejun lifted Theo’s neck, who was clinging to his lap, and made eye contact.
“Why are you like that?”
“I heard you gave Flame a grilled fish?”
“That’s right. I gave you my favorite grilled fish to get closer to Flame!”
Theo, who tried to do his best, answered with a face that said, ‘I don’t know anything.’
“How does a tree eat grilled fish?”
“Huh?! That’s it?! Chairman Park knows that and is amazing!”
Theo, who learned another thing from Sejun’s words, waggled his tail and looked at Sejun with respect.
“Ugh. Let’s go and apologize.”
Sejun, who felt weakened by Theo’s eyes, stopped nagging to say a few more words and went down to the cave to make up with Flame.
“I’m sorry. I won’t give you grilled fish again.”
Sejun, who reconciled the two, reported the results of this transaction to Theo.
“Fuhuhu. Don’t be surprised. I made a lot of money through this transaction!”
With a proud expression on his face, Theo began to take out the money from Sejun’s baggage on Sejun’s lap.
Sigh.
Sigh.
There was so much money that I had to take it out of the baggage several times.
“A total of 224,600 top coins!”
“220,000?!”
Sejun was surprised. I knew that Haedok’s green onions were sold at a high price, but this was a truly ridiculous amount. It was clear that there were more effects that he was unaware of.
“Good job CEO Te. Here’s an incentive. Don’t just spend it and save it well.”
Sejun gave Theo 20,000 Top Coins, which is almost 10%.
“I understand! And here are the things I bought while running errands, as well as coffee and seasonings.”
Theo poured out the items from his luggage.
Then,
“Huh? What are these contracts?”
Sejun asked, looking at the two contracts from Botjim.
“Ah! That’s…”
Theo talked about the contract he made with the five hunters and Han Tae-jun, who made him pay back 10,000 Top Coins for attacking him.
“Han Taejun?!”
Sejun was surprised to hear Han Taejun’s name. Korea’s strongest hunter. It was a name that anyone in Korea who was interested in the Awakened could not possibly know.
“CEO of Te! That’s amazing! I received a contract that allows me to ask Hunter Taejun Han for 5 favors! I love it! I feel great! From now on, I’ll be the CEO of Te for one month!”
“Puhhuhu. Really?! Chairman Park, I want to eat chur!”
Theo, brimming with confidence at Sejun’s praise, spoke confidently.
“okay. If the president of our company wants to eat churh, we should
give it to him.” Sejun tore open the churro and held it out to Theo.
Cheap chup chup.
Theo started talking while eagerly licking the churr.
“And there are some people who need to be scolded!”
Theo said as he walked into the store area. I explained about the Oren gang I met in.
“What?! How dare you harass our president?!”
“That’s right!!! Chairman Park, come forward and show those bastards hell!””
In Theo’s opinion, there was no evil being around him who would be as good at avenging him as Sejun.
“Okay! They’re looking for the Demon King on the 99th floor of the tower? Leave it to me.”
Theo’s words gave Sejun a good idea.
‘You mean there are 9 shuttles carrying cargo?’
Oren and his gang became the target of an evil entity.
***
Somewhere on the merchant passage leading from the 90th floor of the tower to the 99th floor of the tower.
“Why is it so cold all of a sudden?”
“Maybe it’s because you’re hungry?”
Oren and the cats, who were climbing towards the 99th floor of the tower hoping to make a fortune, suddenly shivered from the cold feeling.
