Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 263
Chapter 263 61st Floor
Ophelia’s words made us silent for a while.
I knew it would be like this.
A world that has entered a transitional period of destruction. The time given to us is only a few years away.
By external standards, the shortest is 2 years, the longest is 6 years. Because Rilka said that after 4 years, no one will be called to the tower anymore.
I honestly thought I could afford it.
Time passes twice as fast in the tower as in the outside world, and me and the members were climbing the tower at an unprecedented speed.
When I thought hopefully, within the next three years, I would reach the 100th floor.
However, the reality of what was hoped for was different.
“According to my personal connections, the number of people who are called to the Tower is already decreasing. Each country is different, and even in the same country, the time to receive invitations is different, so it didn’t stand out.”
An irregular invitation.
It was natural that it was difficult to notice because the invitations were made for each server.
Especially in an era where hunters soon become national power. It must have been harder to know because each government would not mention such a sensitive subject either.
Ophelia’s words hardened everyone’s expression.
Even Kim Jung-hyun, who usually behaves lightly, is paying attention.
‘It’s a headache.’
I have already told them all.
Transitions to Doom Signs of Doom Enemies we have to deal with Shards of Chaos and more.
The reason I said it wasn’t a big deal.
The day I faced the hair loss man. I told the members what I knew, and after thinking about it among ourselves, we came to the conclusion that there was no answer.
Rather, I decided to inform the forces and people who would cooperate as soon as possible.
The first person I contacted was Lee Jun-seok.
After talking with him, I decided to move with Noble Knight.
Our influence is great in the Asian server, but the Noble Knights have a strong influence on the American and European servers.
In conclusion, the Pejing Union and Noble Knight made a joint presentation during the last few days.
No wonder the community is confused.
There were people who ignored it, saying it was absurd.
-If you say Gongdu
-nim, you have to believe it.
-Isn’t that inducing fear?
└ What is the union doing?
└ It could be that they are trying to gather people and create a guild with instigation ㅇㅇ.
└ Ha ha ha ha ha ha You joined the union recently, right? I was going to make a guild, but even if I made it, there would be a lot of people who would join me hahaha.
-But the real gate generation rate is higher. I used to work for a government agency.
– I heard that it was also announced on the US side.
It was an atmosphere where most of them accepted it, probably because they had built trust in the past.
I guess I haven’t felt the seriousness yet.
It was the same for us at first, so it wasn’t a position to talk about it.
It’s really gotten a little serious now…
“I wonder if it’s because the transition period of destruction has come late, so the progress is speeding up.”
“That sounds like a possibility.”
I nodded at Ophelia’s words.
As a result of artificially controlling the number of hunters through collaboration between large guilds and the government, they did not enter the transition period for an abnormally long time.
It was better to think of it as a side effect of it.
There is no other way to explain it…
“Whatever it is, it’s not ruined yet, right? For now, shouldn’t we just upload the strategy and make sure people don’t die and go up as much as possible?”
The hair loss man is right.
As we have confirmed that the number of people entering the tower has decreased, the best strategy is to prevent the climbers from dying as much as possible.
It’s what I’ve been doing so far.
It’s just…
“Idiot, you can’t end it with that. The tower is the tower, and the outside is also a problem.”
“Ah, against violence!”
Lick, who was listening next to him, put a headlock on the hair loss man.
“The destruction is accelerating. We all know that we can do what we normally do, but should we properly prepare for the outside? ok? Can you give me a brain massage right now?”
“People outside would do anything if they weren’t idiots!”
“Large guilds and the government will do just fine.”
As the licker feared.
Except for them, most of the general public and hunters do not know about destruction.
6-star monsters and named monsters Fragments of chaos I experienced.
Can you handle them in the yard where they flirt with you for being on the 60th floor and claiming that you are an S-class hunter?
Even an optimist would shake their head at this…
Besides, there is a high possibility that the government and large guilds, which should take the initiative, will keep their mouths shut and hide information.
They’re already doing it, and even if they try to prepare extensively, it will take time and they may have to reveal what they’ve been doing.
No, I don’t think I’ll be able to recognize the seriousness because everyone left.
You probably don’t know about the fragments of chaos
.
There is no connection between the tower and the outside world, let alone communication.
I pressed my temple for a moment and opened my eyes.
“If you think about it here, there is no answer. We need someone to be active outside.”
In a way, this is a reasonable conclusion.
Outside work should be done outside.
People in the tower do their jobs in the tower.
The roles are clearly divided.
“You can’t just send them outside. Whatever it is, the more power the better. Let’s build it little by little.”
Leaning forward slightly, the story continued.
First of all, I said that we should tell each coalition in advance about the seriousness of this situation.
If you use all the coins and get kicked out of the tower, the members of the coalition outside gather to join forces and spread the truth.
“Oh, is that okay? I don’t know if I have a little more say, but it’s hard in the current situation.”
Nyanpun twitching her lips.
right.
Really, it’s so lame.
Even if only more individuals gathered together, how would they be treated if an insignificant group from the established forces made a noise?
But…
“What would happen if the Hunter who reached the top floor went outside? The guy who climbed the 60th floor and the guy who climbed the 70th floor or higher. The gap isn’t clear. The social repercussions will be quite large.”
“You… maybe?”
“Uh, I have to seduce the people on the upper floors.”
Among the people of the association, there may be people who go out from the upper level.
I don’t know when or who it might be, but
if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be more likely that those who are already at the upper level will go out first?
Fortunately, there are quite a few.
There is a group of rookies, and the fusongsongi will soon rise to the top.
It’s smooth. They have a relationship with us, so they’ll cooperate.
There may be people like Kim Jung-hyun who are active in the coalition even though they are upstairs.
As I haven’t been able to use the upper level community channels yet, I’m not sure how many there are, but
in the end, I have to go up.
so do anything
“The situation is better in the US. Noble Knight has a cooperative relationship with the Big Star Guild.”
“That is good news.”
Okay, the US side says to do it on its own.
Wait a minute…..
“Come to think of it, it seems like it’s been a while since I didn’t see Ezekiel?”
He’s the guy who talked about hanging out with me once.
“Ezekiel went upstairs first. The person who was watching started climbing.”
“You mean Fabian.”
An undefeated recorder and a suspected member of the Tower cult.
He said he was monitoring Ezekiel, so it was a planned thing.
In other words, there was something that Fabian could move.
Why did the guy who had been standing still all of a sudden move?
By all means, at a time like this.
Let’s put that aside for a moment. Fabian’s true identity has not yet been revealed, and there has been no conflict.
“I’ll go up then. I go first.”
“To that.”
let’s move
I greeted Ophelia and the Noble Knights and waved to the members as well.
“I’ll catch up soon, so wipe your neck and wait.”
A lick that makes a sound that doesn’t know if it’s cheering or threatening.
“They have abandoned us and are heartless! Buy a few potions from me safely on the way and take them with you.”
Nyanpun talking nonsense.
“If you meet Gongdyu someday, say hello. shut up! I’m sure it must be somewhere!”
A hair loss man who still can’t throw away his lingering feelings.
I wanted to say something, but let’s leave it alone. do it yourself
kinda like that though
“I’ll introduce you to a woman later, so don’t cry.”
“Really?”
“of course.”
I didn’t say when.
I slowly turned my head. Wouldn’t there be someone who has a hair loss man as his ideal type?
Or you can’t help it
“That’s it.”
Deokchun looks at me and clicks his tongue.
Either that or not.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! always waiting For the person who will greet my bow tie! why!”
“You need to get fit. Why are you wearing something like this?”
“How is this! Can not be done!”
“Go carefully!”
The bald man who regained his energy laughed heartily, and the licker pulled his bow tie, as if he didn’t want to see it.
It’s the same atmosphere as usual.
There was no one to hold me. It was also the timing to act, and the members hadn’t collected the transcendence stones yet to move together.
Ophelia and Noble Knight seem to have separate things to do.
After saying goodbye, I left the building and headed for the portal.
A quiet place because there are few people.
-Uuuuuuu
I sneaked through the safe zone on the 60th floor and entered the portal.
I took enough rest as I stayed on the 60th floor for quite a while.
During the duel, he maintained his sensitivity and became accustomed to interpersonal combat.
Now it’s time to wallow with the monsters and climb up.
-Paaaaaa!
My vision brightened and a new sight opened up.
* * *
“Oh.”
“To that.”
I admired a little.
time is night.
I’m standing on a hill on a forest road.
The view was open below where the trees grew sparsely. -The
village seen under
Passus was shining splendidly.
A place that shines brightly as if it refuses to acknowledge the night.
Is there even a festival going on?
The lights went off, people flocked to the night market, and drums rang out.
The same goes for not turning off the lights in the house.
Those who came out had small lanterns in their hands.
-pop! Pew!
-Tadadadadak.
Just in time, a firecracker rises into the sky and drives away the night.
More colorful lights than the firecrackers I saw as a child light up the sky.
As if it would never end, another firecracker went off before the light faded…
“It’s pretty.”
“To that.”
There was a spectacle that would make even those with dry emotions stop for a moment.
I walked towards it with a little excitement.
I was wondering what it would look like since it was on the 60th floor, but it looks pretty good.
It’s the first time I’ve ever had a field in a village format like this.
If there was anything to compare with, would it be the Framberg in the ruins?
That’s because there was something wrong with it.
-While walking along the tuduk
trail, something hidden in a pile of grass broke.
When I lift the grass with my feet, I see a rotten and broken wooden plank.
is it a sign?
When I shake off the signboard with something written on it, the letters become clearer.
[Interpreter (A) Lv.10]
“… May the light be with you?”
Words in unknown English.
strangely concerned
A message that comes to mind for me.
[The theme of floors 61-69 is disaster.]
[Confusion that encourages destruction.]
[May your path be filled with blessings.]
An ominous explanation.
The 60th floor is the section where almost all climbers stumble and is the last step before going to the upper floors.
I thought there would be something, but it’s a disaster.
Why… When it comes to disasters, natural disasters should come to mind first, but other beings come to mind.
Is it to confirm that anxiety?
[Floor 61]
[Star-swallowing ghosts巨鬼蟲-Mestoka]
[Overcome the disaster.]
A new notice came up.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung!
[Mestoka notices the caterpillar killer.]
[Mestoka won’t forgive you.]
“It’s not easy this time too, whoa.”
I let out a small sigh.
