Episode 719 You can’t do something like that.
I thought about it for a while after the community alarm popped up.
I guess NPCs can see the community, so I’m reluctant to see them when I’m next to them.
However, right now, he is with Elini because he has a looter with him.
The moment I was away for a moment, something could have happened, and there was a possibility that the system would determine that I had broken up with Elini.
Is it right to check now?
It might just be a trivial chat.
“mister?”
“Elini, do you remember what I told you?”
“Which one?”
“You should also know how to protect yourself when something happens.”
You may wonder what a 10-year-old child can do, but that’s not necessarily true.
Because the weak have their own way of survival.
For example, now.
“If you are weak, using someone stronger is another solution.”
“Yes.”
I handed Deokchun, who was clinging to my shoulder, to Elini.
“It’s not a human, but at that level, he can catch it, right? Now here’s the mission. “I’m keeping a close eye on this guy to make sure he doesn’t escape until I get back.”
Elini looks at Deokchun, who is holding both hands full.
A face filled with countless emotions.
Even if it were me, it would be absurd to give him a frog and tell him to catch an awakened person who uses a lot of skills.
‘It’s because I don’t know Deokchun.’
I believe that you will trust me because you have some trust in me.
“Yeah.”
Deokchun also gives a thumbs up, telling him not to worry.
“You have to come quickly. “You can’t just throw it away!”
“Why don’t you throw it away? “It will come soon.”
Taaat.
After saying those words, I moved to my seat.
It might not be a big deal, but I should check out the community.
The plan I had prepared went awry.
If new situations or information emerged, it was good to know in advance.
together.
“I can’t keep Elini by my side forever.”
You can just watch from the side, but you shouldn’t get caught up in that.
That in itself is the same as reducing my scope of action.
The system determines that they have broken up?
Then it can’t be helped.
Since when have you been swayed by the system?
“I guess this will be enough.”
After confirming that there was no one around, I turned on the community.
There was an uproar.
There were all kinds of stories coming up.
[Smile Cap]: It seems like something happens when candidates meet.
[Last Leaf]: I was about to join Choco Choco, but a monster wave broke out!
[Hair loss on your head]: Huh? I was like that too.
[Hwa Mu-seon]: But Muscle Fighter hasn’t contacted me since yesterday. I heard that you were ambushed and separated from the candidate.
[Hwa Mu-seon]: Didn’t you say you were going to see the Awl Fairy?
[Awl Fairy]: I said I would come, but I couldn’t join. If there was a rebellion here,
first the news of the disappearance of the muscular warrior and unidentified incidents.
[Sexy Guy]: Breaking news! Breaking news! Fragments of chaos appear where the Muscular Warriors were!
[Mean Meow Punch]: Eck! Is it real?
[Licking the top of his head]: Isn’t it a disaster?
[Sexy Guy]: Sister, this is not the time for our Pangpang to be attacked by disaster!
[Magma Fairy]: But wouldn’t disaster also happen if you make a mistake?
[Sexy Guy]: Even Magma!
[Hair loss on your head]: I believe it. How can our muscles do that?
[Licking the top of his head]: Wait a minute. Previously. Are there more people you can’t contact? Check it out
[God Bless]: Noble Knight is no problem
Next, the Chaotic Fragments appear.
All sorts of things are happening simultaneously.
I knew that the difficulty level was increasing, but I never expected that someone would already be eliminated.
“Even if something happened, it happened firmly.”
That said, fragments of chaos appeared.
That guy is the guy who appears when you break up with the candidate.
The Muscular Warrior ran away due to friction with the monster wave that came after the special gate exploded and a group of bandits located nearby.
The candidate was eliminated in the process.
Well, in words, but in reality.
‘They said the candidate ran away.’
People don’t know what to do when they panic.
This is especially true if you are not yet physically or mentally mature.
Although not everyone said it, the candidate was.
“done. “It’s already happened, so what are you thinking about?”
Anyway, the point is this.
The fragments of chaos that had been quiet for so long have emerged.
“He disappeared again.”
Fortunately, I saw Sexy Guy, who had equally lost his candidate, move to join Muscle Warrior.
If not, I wouldn’t have known he was active.
Let’s pass this for now.
I knew we would eventually run into each other.
What I care about is this part.
‘It seems like an incident will occur if the candidates try to meet each other.’
Smilecap and the last leaf are at stake.
If you think about it, the Muscular Warrior was also on his way to meet the Awl Fairy.
“I was going to the hair loss man too.”
Can this be considered a simple coincidence?
There are too many overlapping parts to say that.
It seems correct to say that someone’s will was involved.
okay.
Finally, we can see the rules of this place.
first.
All candidates are real.
second.
Candidates cannot meet each other.
When they meet, at least one of them is designed to disappear.
third.
Chaos Fragments appear when a candidate disappears.
“I’m coming to my senses now.”
Three rules that appear on the surface.
I focused on the second.
Candidates cannot meet each other?
“What are you going to do?”
Are you going to revolt?
Or explode monster waves and disaster special gates?
Perhaps rebels or other wanderers, bandits, or troops might attack.
however.
“If all that doesn’t work, you’ll have to pitch yourself.”
The most surefire means of interfering with it is for a fragment of chaos to appear.
Yes.
There is no need to fail just because you are a candidate.
Just meeting each other is enough.
I’m curious.
If the. Even though he appears, he can’t stop us and what will happen if the candidates meet each other?
“The system might take action directly.”
Any method doesn’t matter.
Our goal is to go up, and to do that we need to catch him.
Of course, it is true that it is a rough method.
It is clear that climbers will die in the process and candidates will also be caught up in it.
No one here knows that fact.
“Build a fortification.”
And defeat all threats that come your way.
That’s the strategy for the 98th floor that I came up with.
After thinking about it, I organized my plans and posted them on the community.
At the same time, Nyangpun was also organizing the current situation.
[Mean Meow Punch]: Estimated 19 survivors. Among them, 8 people broke up with the candidate!
[Licking the top of his head]: There are 11 candidates left. When did it decrease to this level? The
number of people who came up was 21, so 2 people were killed knowingly or unknowingly.
How many people can go up to the 99th floor?
You’ll know when the time comes.
-Tiring.
Nyangfun sent me a private message.
[Mean Meow Punch]: First, let’s share strategy ideas.
[Petit Gongdue]: Gongdue is so impressive!
[Mean Meow Punch]: Woo… Woo! Anyway, you are doing your job.
Nyangfun will solve this problem.
I went back in the direction where Elini was.
That’s what’s waiting for me.
“Don’t move! Otherwise, there will be no hostage lives!”
“Eup! “Ugh!”
It was Elini, holding a knife and holding a knife around the neck of a tightly bound looter.
Deokchun triumphantly climbs on top of Elini’s head and crosses her arms.
ah. I suddenly feel tired.
I gently rubbed my eye bones.
“What are you doing?”
“I heard that taking a hostage is a good idea if you’re cornered, so practice.” lol.”
I looked at Elini, who was scratching her head as if she was embarrassed, and shook her head.
He kindly corrected my posture.
“ruler. The hostage’s head must be pressed against your body. The face is towards the back of the head. “If you headbutt the hostage while jumping, it hurts.”
“aha!”
“Later, when you gain more strength, aim under the chin, not the neck. “That way, you will pierce the brain and die instantly.”
“yes! “I will do that when I’m older!”
“But you covered your mouth well. good job.”
“Geuek gheuek.”
Deokchun pats Elini’s head with a grateful look in her eyes.
He held Elini’s hand and moved forward, pulling the hostage by the collar with his other hand.
It’s a bit weird to think about it like this now.
‘Am I doing well?’
I feel like I’m ruining the child a little.
Glancing. I looked at Elini.
She is smiling brightly and her cheeks are full.
He seems to like it, so it’s okay.
* * *
The place we arrived at, guided by the looter, was the castle.
It’s also a fairly large castle.
It was quite majestic, but the traces of the battle remained intact, making it look unsightly.
They say the castle wall can be used even if part of it collapses.
“You should hang the door like this.”
“Big! There is resistance on the inside. “If you try to come in, you will only be surrounded and killed!”
When I hit the looter on the head, his eyes widen.
“Elini.”
“yes! “I can’t use my eyes if they’re open like that!”
-Pop!
“Ouch! “Oh my gosh!”
The looter tried to swear at Elini, who suddenly ripped off the boy’s sideburns, but was stopped by my hand.
To swear in front of a kid somewhere.
I patted the head of Elini, who was hiding behind me like a squirrel, and went inside.
The world view of the 98th floor was simple.
A place where kingdoms big and small are spread out everywhere.
Most are small in size.
Even if it were a kingdom, it would have a population of 150,000. They say there are about 500,000 people at most.
It would have been cut in half now.
In any case, the situation is such that awakened people are rebelling or ignoring the government and forming their own groups.
Same here.
Now that the territory of monsters is increasing, they tend to join forces that have the power to stop them.
Thanks to this, there is currently no place left that can be called a kingdom.
If the king had treated the awakened people from the beginning and joined forces as one, the scope of humanity would have grown larger.
“The previous king was also stupid. “If the world has changed, treatment must also change.”
“Do you think you would do that to those who crawled and died not long ago?”
is it?
When I thought about it, our country was not much different.
They laid out fake strategies to prevent people from climbing the tower.
They had no idea that one day, there would be hunters too strong for them to handle.
Did you really not expect it?
‘well.’
Even if that were to happen, he probably thought he would somehow just conform to the system.
What is it like outside now? I was curious.
You can check it later.
‘It’s not long now.’
-dump.
The looter who was being dragged was pushed away.
It’s just as he said.
“there! “What is the purpose of coming here!”
“Are you a mountain climber? “That guy wasn’t that weak either.”
“The guys who fell toward the city haven’t returned. “Did you do it!”
The reason they didn’t fix the outer castle door.
This is to surround and attack those who come inside.
You could say it was an open trap.
“Hey, what’s the name of the owner here?”
“Heckton Pointa! “The owner of this place and the hope of humanity!”
-Teook.
I knocked him unconscious by lightly hitting his chin and then laid him down on his back.
Suddenly I’m screaming. Surprise.
Anyway, thanks to you, I found out the name.
“iced coffee.”
I relaxed my neck.
The timing when everyone’s attention is focused.
“Hecton Pointa! Get out of the room! “If you don’t want to get lost!”
A new landlord has arrived.
Welcome.
-Keeeeeeee!
I saw Mangu flying through the air beyond the castle and returning.
In his hand was a man with an impressive beard.
“…Captain?”
“The devil! “The devil has appeared!”
His men began to panic.
“profit! Lee Iik! What a guy! “You dirty warlock!”
Hecton Pointa blushed and shouted at me.
there is a misunderstanding.
I am not a warlock.
“Get out of the room. “Now I’m going to write it here.”
I am a (planned) landlord.
Since ancient times, real estate transactions had to be resolved by meeting with the owner in person.
Elini is squirming next to me.
“How to survive. If you don’t have a house, take it…memo….”
I quietly closed Elini’s notebook.
