Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Long time no see?

It’s been four days since I’ve been in the village.

Mestoca attacked twice in four days.

I was worried that they would attack every day, but they seemed to stop midway to see if they had any morals.

To be precise, he’s trying to strategically dry him off.

It was a one-sided structure that had no choice but to focus on defense.

The right to attack was in Mestoca, and we had no choice but to continue our blood-drying lives, not knowing when we would be attacked.

If you are a person with a weak mentality, your nerves will become sensitive due to stress itself.

“The weather is nice, isn’t it?”

“To that.”

Deokchun and I were languidly basking in the sun.

Emila looks at me with dumbfounded eyes.

“Why are you so carefree?”

“It doesn’t matter what you worry about. When something happens, you can move.”

“Geek geg.”

Deokchun nodded saying yes.

This is so ambiguous that I was on the sidelines due to the suspicion that I might have been infected and the political conflict in the village.

Still, when a battle breaks out, I go out and fight, but I can’t go on a rampage at will.

It’s dangerous, but if you get too excited and cross the border, Emila will be held responsible.

Going out of town was like running away.

There was a separate reason for keeping the time, which was neither good nor bad.

“Evileye will soon make a decision in the village. We have to prepare.”

“I have memorized the way. They don’t have to worry about food, and if they move underground, they’re unlikely to be attacked.”

A story with Emila.

How to overcome the catastrophe Mestoca.

Disposing of eggs using mandrake, an elixir that is easier to obtain than spiritual creatures and can even be tamed.

I heard there is an oddball in town 3 who raises mandrakes.

You have to go on a journey to get his help.

As the villagers are NPCs, they cannot leave their territory, so I will be the one moving them.

The idea is good, but this is the problem.

“Shall I really let you go? What if I settle down in town number 3?”

“I will send you. The village head has to do his best to overcome the disaster. It is better to reject it. Then I can use that as an excuse to move public opinion.”

Did you even think about that?

Overcome the disaster that has been stagnant for so long.

As new possibilities opened up, the villagers had high expectations.

Some glanced at me, some impatiently tried to approach me, but were stopped by Bayard and even withdrew.

I think the country will too.

Aren’t you living on the 61st floor for a long time?

I stayed here for a few days and heard other stories.

From trivial incidents to villagers who are no longer there.

Village No. 12 here was a fairly large village with about 70 people at first.

Other villages had at most 60 people, and there were only about 50 people there.

Even in the beginning, I had hopes that it would be the first village to get out of the 61st floor, but that was also a thing of the past.

Now, only about 30 people have survived and are living day by day.

They laughed and celebrated while waiting for the climbers to come one day, but no one was genuinely happy.

“Emilla.”

I called her quietly.

look at me without a word

A slightly carefree round personality.

That’s what she looked like on the outside, but from the sidelines, that wasn’t all of her.

It was special from the status.

I’m not familiar with druids, but they also had their own class.

Just like the fan grill I met before was a priest, Emila was a royal druid.

Royal Druids are roughly a mixture of nobles and clerics, but they refer to those born under the influence of the World Tree, a divine tree.

Not only did they have strong power in themselves, but they were also important characters in a symbolic meaning.

The fact that she and Duray, who was a savage, were lovers was a strange, if strange, thing.

Regardless of their identity, they said that druids and barbarians are not on good terms.

It must have been that each other was precious.

There was no way Emila would look kindly at Bayard who killed Duray.

hostility. It was to the extent that I could see that he wanted to bring him down, so there’s no way other villagers wouldn’t know.

“Do you resent Bayard?”

“I would be lying if I said no.”

“There were rumors about it. Bayard killed his younger brother to become president. In fact, Duray is not infected.”

I’ve been avoiding direct mention in the meantime, but not this time.

It may sound cruel, but my goal is to clear the 100th floor of the climb.

I didn’t want to waste my time getting involved in a pointless political fight.

As we enter the transitional period of destruction and the number of people invited to the tower is decreasing, we cannot accommodate all the circumstances of other NPCs.

That was the gist of the question I posed.

Was it Emily who spread the rumor?

Do you have any other purpose besides clearing the 61st floor?

It was a warning not to drag me into personal resentment.

she shakes her head

“I didn’t do it. It’s a story that has been circulating ever since. And I don’t believe that rumor.”

Emila smiled bitterly and continued.

“Because Duray is really infected, maybe he too…”

Other than Emila, someone else spread the rumor.

Than that person too?

She seemed to have something more to say, but Emila swallowed her silence.

I just turn my head and stare at the center of the village.

“Because Gayo Baird seems to have made a decision too.”

Bayard and the others motioned for us to follow, and Emila and I followed them to the outskirts of town.

* * *

On the way, Baird told me about the meeting, and to put it in conclusion, it was decided to go to the village number 3.

I didn’t come and go without any conditions.

“That’s it.”

“Deokchun, don’t skip meals without me. I’ll be back soon, so don’t be sad, yaya. But pretend you’re sorry for going.”

“To that.”

The guy wiggling his hands in Emila’s arms.

Yes.

Those who feared that I would not return after going to village number 3 hoped that Deokchun would leave behind.

There was also a title.

It was necessary to check whether it was really possible to remove the eggs hidden in the body through spiritual water or elixir.

Going to study it until I get back.

I had to give up on this part as well, as Emily had extensive knowledge of spiritual objects and elixirs.

To the extent that I can’t compare to other NPCs.

The question is, will you send me well in town number 3?

“The third village is represented by Feather. Give me this and it will help. Just getting the idea to use the elixir is an advantage for them.”

What he held out was a stick.

Outwardly, there was nothing wrong.

[Kelifin’s Totem Piece]

-Kelifin, a mysterious sealing tribe. Part of a totem created by a shaman there.

-If you have a deep understanding of witchcraft, you may gain a new realization.

caliphin.

Bayard, read by power, was from here.

Are you using it as a gift?

I took the goods and looked at the people.

Baird, who doesn’t know what kind of expression he is, and Emila, who is hardening his expression.

Deokchun was looking at Baird again and licking his lips, and the other villagers said goodbye to each other one by one.

“Ah, Evileye. Can I ask you a favor on the way? Please give this to Niom in town 3. He’s an old friend, but I haven’t seen him in a long time.”

The one who sneaks out then.

There was not much presence among the people.

The name is…

“Taylor, you can do a personal favor later.”

“Ahaha, did you?”

I remembered the name after Baird’s pinning.

it was taylor That’s right, it doesn’t show well, but he was a guy who was able to afford it when he fought Mestoca.

I gladly accepted the envelope he gave me.

Something light is like a letter.

It’s over with this one.

“Come soon.”

Moved towards town 3 times.

* * *

Village number 3 is not that far away than I thought.

I didn’t know it was just because I was moving so fast.

About a day and a half.

“So you’re from town 12? Hmmm.”

I was able to meet Feather, the representative of village number 3.

A man with a shaggy beard.

If he wasn’t wearing glasses, he would have looked pretty rough, but he nodded as he looked at the totem piece Bayard had given him as a gift.

“It is a temptation hard to resist. do that.”

“Really?”

Are you sure?

It comes out cooler than expected.

“As long as you can afford it. Mandrakes are sensitive beings. not easily tamed I’ve taken care of you for a long time, but you still don’t follow me well.”

Moving to his residence, he chats.

What a mysterious creature the mandrake is.

How is it different from other spirits and elixirs?

Why is it attractive but dangerous?

Half of it was self-promotion.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! I have a relatively new kid, and he’s very smart. I think I’m a little depressed because I haven’t adjusted yet, but I’ll get better soon. Oh, I recommend covering your ears for a moment. Guys, Daddy is here!”

A particularly large building. Feather knocked on the ear and opened the door boldly.

“Kikkiik?”

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

“Khihyahaheaek!”

“Kiyaaaaaagh!”

The mandrakes inside screamed in unison.

-pop! Pervert!

– Clink!

windows bursting at the same time.

[Mental Protection (S) Lv. 5]

It’s been a while.

I went crazy for a moment and came back.

If the mental protection wasn’t S-class, the death penalty would have been activated.

“Oh, that’s right. usually die here. It’s me, but it’s nothing!”

“…feather ears are bleeding.”

“My earlobes are a bit red.”

Clean your ears naturally.

Everywhere I look, I see blood.

For now, I decided to remain in the position where I came to get help.

Either way, the shrieking mandrakes escaped our gaze.

Feather looked at me with affectionate eyes, as if even that appearance was lovely, and turned her head to me.

“As I said, I will help, but don’t think that I can take you unconditionally. I’m only going to send a child to follow you after receiving Mandrake’s approval. I can’t tolerate taking her by force.”

A very serious expression.

How to say… It’s a face that seems to check if a pet is a good owner before selling it.

Of course, I don’t take them with the intention of keeping them as pets.

shit he laughs

“The opportunity is today. I’m sorry, but if I’m not recognized by morning, I’ll have to go back empty-handed.”

Somehow, he said he would agree to it, but was this a ploy?

An act based on the calculation that you could never get close to Mandrake in one day.

Anyone else would have worked.

no i would have been too

“Kik? Kien!”

“A long time?”

If it wasn’t for Deodeok here.

A Mandriek, his face peeking out the door, runs towards me.

It’s a mandrake that looks arrogant, but I recognized it at a glance.

The guy I was with for a while.

Deodeok jumped at me.

“Did you gain some weight while not seeing it?”

“Keeeeeeeee.”

I picked him up and turned around.

The first thing that came to mind when Emila mentioned mandrake was Deodeok.

Rilka said she was selling Deodeok.

How many people keep mandrakes as pets?

I thought maybe we would meet, and as you can see the result.

“Eh Elizabeth? Nonsense!”

what else is elizabeth

Could this be Deodeok’s new name?

Either that or not.

“You’ve been recognized, right? Then take me?”

I put the deodeok on my shoulder.
