Episode 693: 97th Floor
As various events and incidents occurred, the excited atmosphere on the 96th floor became much calmer.
In the end, the purpose of the safe zone was to prepare for going to the next floor.
The important thing here is to designate accommodation.
Didn’t we also mention Choco Choco?
From the 97th floor, it’s like hell.
It will be difficult if you fall into a lawless area when resurrecting on the 96th floor.
All of the climbers gathered here must receive permanent residency and sign a contract for an inn.
“Does it make sense that the inn itself is not enough?”
“Because not many people come up to the 96th floor.”
Teijun twirled his pistol and grumbled.
Peace Land is friendly to climbers.
That’s why some people voluntarily gave up their permanent residency.
The same goes for Techid, the head of Peace Land.
As the leader himself set an example, those who followed him also created a small village near the safe zone.
The problem is that there is no place to stay.
“What if I register another NPC’s house?”
Previously, I used Lilka’s studio or villa instead of accommodation.
“It’s a little different here. “We also have permanent residency, we don’t own buildings or anything like that.”
It felt like a kind of permanent rental.
It wasn’t the NPC that came first, but the building that came first.
It feels like each person chooses a job and building based on their abilities.
In other words, only inns could be officially registered.
“Let’s stop murmuring and get moving. “It’s bothersome to me too.”
“Whew. okay. “Let’s go.”
Among the climbers who have currently ascended, there are 28 who have not obtained permanent residency.
The inn is so small that it cannot accommodate many people.
Considering the additional people who will come in the future, we need to secure more facilities.
At least 4 out of 5 safe zones must be left empty.
Not only did I move, but the members and others also dispersed to different safe zones.
NPCs also went together, so how could it not work out well?
Just looking at the kids talking is like that.
[Licking the top of his head]: Hey. This is the end
[Mean Meow Punch]: Ophelia has also completed the negotiation
[Your hair is falling out]: I can negotiate well too, so why don’t you take me with you!
[Licking the top of his head]: No, no. You’re not that great. Write it! sit down! wait! hand!
[Hair loss on your head]: Hand!
[Lick the top of the head]: Well done!
[Petit Gongdu]: What are they doing?
[Mean Meow Punch]: I lost the bet on the hair loss man and lost for a week! If you do that, you have to hand it over haha
[Petit Gongdu]: He’s a tamed bald man! This is something you
can take care of yourself.
Two places are over, so I just have to do well.
“hey! What are you doing. come fast!”
“okay. Goes.”
I ended up secretly doing community work behind Teijun and followed him.
The place we found was the 5th safe zone.
A place made up of subordinate villages surrounding the military and a safe zone.
“Big Mountain.”
It was a place roughly called Big Mountain.
Actually, I had no intention of coming here.
Teijun also said that in fact, this place is no different from a warlord.
Originally, I was going to go to the first safe zone.
“Crazy outlaws. “As long as it’s not for those kids, I’ll go with ease.”
The safe zone that had been selected as a candidate site was attacked by outlaws.
In the end, they succeeded in driving out the outlaws.
‘I didn’t know the inn would collapse.’
Several facilities were destroyed during the fighting.
Fixing it itself is not a problem, but it must be approved by the system.
It looks like the process will take some time.
They say it will be done in about a month.
‘A month is too long.’
Didn’t Lee Jun-seok also say that?
The situation outside is unusual.
I couldn’t spend a month just waiting, wondering if the climb would take time.
I had no choice but to come here.
“Hey. “The atmosphere is scary.”
“I guess it’s even more so after the first safe zone was robbed.”
“I don’t know if I can put this together properly.”
I took out the letter in my arms.
Techid’s statement expressing support for himself and the NPCs.
Plus, his son brought Tayjun with him.
I said I would prepare in some way, but I don’t know if they will accept it.
Teijun, this guy also worked as an outlaw.
The reason Big Mountain became a warlord was because of outlaws, so you have to check for details yourself.
then.
I adjusted my clothes and headed to the front door.
“Who is it?”
“I came as an envoy from Peace Land. This is Teijun. “He is Mr. Techid’s son.”
“Peace Land?”
The guard looks at me and Teijun with suspicious eyes.
“Will this prove my identity?”
Teijun holds out a ring.
One of the rings Techid had.
Representatives of each safe zone have their own connections.
It was enough to get to know each other.
“Please come in.”
Soon, we passed the dependent village following the security guard who had just finished checking.
Buildings that have no aesthetic sense whatsoever but are practical.
Perhaps because of the military’s protection, he seemed to be living a relatively smooth life.
Even outlaws don’t touch this place.
After all, strong power was needed for peace.
“It’s not much different inside.”
“Is this enough for now?”
“It looks like the walls have been expanded.”
The safe zone was not much different from Peace Land.
The walls are bigger and higher?
You can see weapons like ballistas, but those are only used against monsters and the like.
Those are the real ones.
“It’s a protection system.”
A magical protection system, including automatic turrets, has been built.
Since I heard he was a warlord, I ignorantly thought he would be holding a sword and shield.
“The lord of this castle is a wizard. “Battle wizard.”
While I was getting a little interested, Teijun came next to me and whispered.
“And he has a nasty personality.”
“hmm?”
“He’s a character wrecker. “This is why I didn’t want to come here.”
It is said that Teijun, who has a flaw in his personality, is quite capable of saying that.
It’s surprising that such a person is serving as the lord of the castle.
“How do you know that?”
“I’ve come here before to get things. What did they say? “I think the outlaw bastard was making a fuss about what he was doing.”
Oh.
You have a temper.
Still, isn’t it too much to just slap someone in the face?
I think this guy had a bad temper and pulled out a gun right away.
“He was so perceptive that he knew I was stealing things.”
“aha. Robbed Seongju’s belongings? “The lord of the castle who is a wizard?”
“I thought it would be a bit dull. “He was fat!”
You did it wrong, you crazy person.
“I think you could use a little more beating.”
“No, that woman hit me?”
“is it so. “Did you feel wronged because you were beaten by a fat woman?”
Startle.
Teijun stiffens at the sudden feeling of popularity.
I had a rough guess because my magic power was flowing.
‘This is fun to watch from the side.’
So I pretended not to know.
“ha ha ha. hello.”
A guy who naturally uses respect.
I slowly took a step away and looked at the person who had appeared.
Just an ordinary looking woman.
Is there anything unusual?
‘Is that a staff member?’
The staff, which was as big as his body, was made of metal and had a protruding end.
What is that staff? Mace.
The exposed sleeves give off a strong presence.
and. Look at the veins.
I thought I was in good shape, but my frame was different.
Not just the arms but the entire body is thick.
‘That’s not flesh, that’s muscle.’
I knew Teijun was fearless, but would you ever mess with someone like that?
I feel like he’s a great guy again, but now he has a purpose.
“Nice to meet you. “It’s called Evil Eye.”
“Nice to meet you, too. “My name is Ponya and I am in charge of Big Mountain.”
“I visited to secure permanent residency for climbers and use the inn.”
cook. He stabbed Teijun in the side.
“This is a letter from my father.”
“I know that various things have happened these days.”
She nodded, leaning the staff member on her shoulder and examining the letter.
“I know what you mean. that’s right. “The safe zone is for climbers.”
What does that mean?
“However, the fact that we have become this way is not without the influence of climbers. “Something like the human right above you.”
At first, I thought you were referring to Fabio, but you weren’t.
Speaking of above.
“Smile cap.”
“yes. He stirred it up once. That person is a person who sees NPCs as real NPCs. Umm. At least that was the case at the time.”
I don’t know the details, but it looks like he had an accident.
Strangely enough, even in other safe zones, there are some people who view climbers with hostility.
“It is not difficult to give up part of your green card. Of course, since that number of people have to go out, we have to clean up the outlaws outside.”
“You are telling me to subdue and come.”
“Yes, but. “I don’t need it this time.”
Ponya grins and looks at me.
“I don’t want to be calculating even towards Lilka’s friend.”
I opened my mouth at the unexpected name.
“It just so happens to be over there.”
“Yaaaaaaap!”
Just as she said, someone jumped out of a building in the distance and was running at incredible speed.
Pricked ears and a full tail.
“Bad old age!”
“Khaak!”
The guy who just dropkicks me.
I thought it was going out the side.
“In the safe zone! Come and leave! just! go?!”
“evil! “Why are you hitting me?”
“How can the so-called heir be so cruel!”
It seems that when he caught Fahiru on the 95th floor, he went upstairs without even talking and got upset.
There was nothing I could do at that time.
I had to put pressure on him while dying over and over again.
Is it because my fists are small? A feeling of strength being concentrated in one place.
First of all, I was somewhat right.
From Lilka’s perspective, it’s a sad thing.
It was only after I lost strength in the slamming fist that I was able to stand up.
“Sorry sorry. “There was nothing I could do at that time.”
“Umm. It looks like this is the only heir. “Aying.”
I patted the head of the guy who was kicking the floor in disapproval.
Is it because it’s been a while since I touched you? The grip feels good.
Ponya looks at this with a happy expression.
“The inn’s capacity is limited to 12 people, so I’ll leave only 12 permanent residence cards empty.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“It was nothing. You can just register tomorrow. “You two have a great time.”
-Cow wow.
“Ugh! why! Why me!”
“Teijun, please talk to me for a moment. “I’m also curious about Techid’s current situation.”
“Save me! “Evileye!”
Ponya pulls Teijun’s ear and walks away.
Although he was talking with a smile, he seemed to have a somewhat reserved personality due to the tendons on his forehead.
Naturally, I ignored Teijun.
“I’m glad I made it to the 96th floor.”
“Then you’re afraid you won’t be able to come up?”
“Hehe. “Whoever is the successor, I can’t come up.”
The guy proudly puts his hands on his waist and puffs out his chest.
Why are you proud?
Well, if you like it, let it be enjoyed.
“Lilka, I have a question.”
“Mondeng?”
I think I should do some preparation before going up.
“The guy on the 99th floor. “Did you catch that guy?”
There are people who have climbed to the 99th floor, including Lilka and Kildeless Alios.
In particular, Lilka had been through so much that she wandered around holding on to fragments of chaos in a world that was close to destruction.
Although it gave me trash-like powers, it is also true that it helped me in many ways.
I was curious.
Not only Rilka but also Kilderes Feline climbed to the 99th floor, so they must have met the King of Worshipers.
Did you win? That monster?
“Out of curiosity?”
“You can’t speak.”
Lilka nods her head at my words.
This means that it is information that cannot be said yet.
Because it will be blocked systematically.
That’s right.
“Not now. “There are things you need to know before that.”
The story will be told in the form of a quest, as has been the case so far.
-Tiring.
[Lilka’s Request (9)- Forced Quest]
-Lilka believes in the successor!
-There isn’t much left until we go upstairs.
-Lilka is trying to make good products for you.
-Then we have to get the ingredients, right?
oh.
Are you trying to make something for me?
As I was reviewing the quest details, Lilka pulled my arm.
“Are you going to go up tomorrow?”
“That’s right. “The situation outside is bad.”
“Wow. “Grain.”
A somewhat sullen expression.
I smiled and lightly fed him some honey chestnuts.
“evil!”
“We have some time until tomorrow, so let’s play together.”
“Oooh! Good!”
It’s okay to take some time off before going to hell, right?
So the next day we had a great time.
[Entering the 97th floor.]
-Uuuuuuung.
The members and I went up.
Where Smile Cap is located.
at the same time.
‘The top floor of the tower.’
-Taat.
I landed lightly on the ground.
Where I am.
“Hey, the atmosphere is scary.”
It was an island.
Instead of the sea, it’s an island trapped between something poisonous or something.
A black, dead sand beach.
It was full of corpses and equipment that had been washed up by the waves.
