Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 298
Chapter 298 Let’s Get Rid of It
Moved with Seo Liang. The sun is setting. I think I’ll try to compete today.
I didn’t feel like rushing, but I couldn’t help it.
‘Looking at the situation, one person dies every day.’
Behigawa and Gelik.
There is one victim every day.
Since it is not possible to know the details of the wish unless it is the person concerned, it is only speculation, but it seems quite credible.
“Isn’t the preparations for the book finished?”
“I put the warriors on standby so it wouldn’t be obvious.”
“I’ll leave the rest to Hawol.”
He asked Xi Liang to prepare in case a village-level dispute occurred.
Ha-wol also sent letters to other representatives saying that he had found the culprit, and was secretly gathering warriors.
Representatives from the eastern entrance of the village gathered again.
eight representatives. Their eyes flashed.
“Is it true that you found the culprit? Human.”
Taiga, impatient, asked. I didn’t stop others to wonder if they were wondering the same thing.
Only Seo Ryang and Ha Wol, who first heard who the culprit was, kept their mouths shut while maintaining poker faces.
There is a reason why I only spoke to the two of them. Even if you know the culprit, you won’t show off.
By the way, the Myoin tribe’s village is near the criminal’s village. Ha-wol was able to quickly send messages to others with a mysterious technique.
The preparations are somewhat complete.
“I think it’s almost clear. Just confirm and you’re done.”
“Mere doubt is not enough! You have to be sure!”
“Chicken Man Now, it’s fortunate that a suspicious person has appeared. There seems to be a way to check.”
Seo Liang comes forward and supports.
Well, even before I came, Xi Liang predicted the culprit of the mad night.
“Let’s go to the pond.”
The road was memorized during the day. If you lead the way, others will follow.
There was not even a torch, but none of those gathered here were lost in the dark.
The road was quiet. Everyone lost one or two of their own people.
If nothing else, beastmen are a race with strong kinship.
‘The criminal also attacked his own people, which is an unusual case.’
I thought there would definitely be a difference. Being in the representative position also means that you have devoted the most to serving your people.
Didn’t he exclude his own people when he made a wish to scratch himself? Even if you don’t, you may have put it on the back priority.
Because of such doubts, Hippos and Gray judged that the possibility of being the culprit was low.
heartburn by any means. There is no physical evidence anywhere. I was judging based on the circumstances and possibilities.
The next thing I had to pay attention to was the Guardians who died near the pond. I saw it in person, interviewed it, and heard detailed stories.
There were signs of tearing on the fingernails or toenails.
Except for Chicken Man and Liana.
Other than that, the Ungin tribe asceticism, who always lives in a cave, and Seo-ryang, who is stuck in a laboratory, had a clear alibi for the past month. At least that there was no way he had discovered the pond first.
The only ones left are Hawol and Taiga.
‘According to the words of the other representatives, Hawol does not engage in hand-to-hand combat. I mainly use magic.’
They have sharp fingernails and toenails, but they do not compete physically.
It is said that it was also the case in the madness of the night. Gray, who had faced him directly, noted that Howell was weak in hand-to-hand combat.
If they fought one-on-one, how could they win, but there was no possibility of winning in a hand-to-hand fight against all the Guardians.
Then, the only thing left was the tiger tribe Taiga.
One of the most warlike, strong in hand-to-hand combat, and proud of the trail of the beast, one of the losers of the mad night.
All circumstances were saying that Taiga was the culprit, but…
‘It’s not Taiga.’
I changed my mind after seeing what Morto gave me.
“Arrived.”
“Get out of there, everyone! I have something to check!”
New Guardians and warriors from each village deployed to guard.
I was taken aback by the unexpected visit of the representatives, but soon got out of the way. Although the Guardians were still standing there.
“Please step aside for a moment.”
“Whatever you do in the pond, there must be an observer.”
One of the Guardians blocked the way.
I wanted to have as few people watching as possible. It wouldn’t do any good to spread the identity of the culprit.
He could have attacked the culprit’s village, saying that he would take revenge with harsh words.
Only the representatives know the location of the pond.
There is also the Ungin tribe Ocean, but he is incapable of dealing with the Guardians.
I looked at the delegates and they nodded.
“Don’t worry. Guardians don’t step out unless they’re abusing the pond. Whatever you see or hear, you will forget.”
if so what
We stood in front of a pond. There were no signs of an accident. Only the calmly swaying pond glistened in the moonlight.

Xu Liang used the skill.
Guardians are also guardians, but warriors from each village stand guard outside.
As long as they have good ears, this is how they should do it.
“The culprit is inside.”
I opened my mouth while looking at the representatives.
In fact, there is the simplest way to find out the culprit.
“Will you make a wish?”
“You know it’s impossible to find the culprit by the pond, right? Someone already made a wish.”
As Hippotus said. The pond does not grant wishes with the same result.
Turning around and begging for horns to grow on the criminal’s head, it’s not okay to turn the criminal’s hair green.
As a result, it means that you want to know the identity of the culprit.
Then I have no choice but to use another method.
Let’s slowly unravel the information.
“Do you still think the killer killed the guardian and made a wish?”
“of course!”
“Isn’t it?”
“no.”
There was no need to make a wish in the first place.
Because the wish has already been made before.
“The culprit of this incident is the same as the culprit of the night of madness. You’ve already made a wish to find out who caused the crazy night, right? That’s why the pond didn’t respond.”
Representatives begin to stir up. The Guardian, who had kept his mouth shut, also frowned.
“At that time, who wished to know the culprit?”
who is who
“Isn’t that Liana?”
“…I’m right.”
“Come with me.”
Liana slowly approaches me.
“Your wish hasn’t come true yet, has it?”
“That’s right, there’s no law saying that a wish will come true right away. No one knows when or how it will happen.”
“no. The wish would have come true. I only knew about it because I had made a wish myself. It’s a meaningless wish. let’s do it again A little different.”
If you can’t ask who the culprit is, just ask differently.
You must make a wish that is one step away from the incident.
I took out the items Morto gave me from my inventory.
[Broken Peer Claw Fragment]
– A fragment of a claw made from the fingernails and claws of several beastmen.
– I used it as it is without processing my nails.
– Self-made weapon.
-Your crafting skills are not good!
Claw. It’s called a claw weapon, but Morto found it where the Guardians were dead.
According to the guy, one of the Guardians was hugging it.
I could feel the Guardian’s will to leave clues until the moment he died.
Liana’s eyes twitch.
“Please make a wish for Liana. Please tell me who made this weapon.”
I took a step forward and looked around at the delegates.
“A fragment of the weapon the culprit used to dispose of the Guardian. Compare it to the scars left on the corpse and you’ll be able to confirm it. And…”
Tung.
I flicked the claw fragments with my fingers. Fingernails that were not fixed properly swayed.
“I have crafting skills. This is a handcrafted weapon. The creator has no production-related skills. You can tell just by looking at it breaking like this.”
Even if the production technology was only B grade, it wouldn’t have been so easily broken.
Literally, an object made by a person with no manufacturing skills.
“The culprit was trying to create confusion. All corpses have fingernail marks. So that the carnivore-type prisoner becomes suspicious. He probably made a wish that said, ‘One day, one person will go into the forest and slit the back of the neck and die’. Do you admit it?”
I took another step closer to Liana.
“Some of the claws on this weapon must have belonged to Gelick. Three missing fingers, only one was found. The place where the finger was was the house of the Toin tribe.”
He slightly bent his body to meet Liana’s eye level.
She clenches her fists.
“Someone secretly put it in the gap where the landlord disappeared. I couldn’t have done it if there were people at home. Who knew the house was empty? other villagers? representative of the village? The answer seems to have come out.”
“…it’s a piece of cake. It’s just a story made up of obscure objects and imagination!”
Liana screamed, but I didn’t even flinch.
“It is not imaginary. There are eyewitnesses, so Howell.”
“all right.”
Ha-wol takes out a piece of wood from his bosom.
The wooden block with the amulet attached didn’t look anything special.
– Jjiiik
– Phuong!
When the amulet was removed, it turned into a raccoon beast.
familiar face.
“He was the one who found the claw fragment and the only witness who was nearby when the Guardians were struck.”
Morto stretches as if his body is swollen.
Others’ eyes widen.
“If Morto is that loner?”
“Have you ever been outside? You were doing something dangerous.”
“It doesn’t matter! Is it true that you said you saw it?”
Morto nodded his head hesitantly, perhaps feeling burdened when he received everyone’s attention.
“I heard the sound of a fight, so I thought I was going to get caught up in it, so I turned it into a stone. I’m not sure because the face was covered, but there was a native tribe. The same Toin tribe guardians will not have claw marks on their bodies. My neck is back.”
Why did only the Toin tribe’s guardian turn around?
He probably didn’t even want to hack his own people.
No one cursed at the Guardians for hiding without helping them. Rather, it just encourages them to be brave for not running away and watching.
Morto fell back and the village representatives approached Liana.
“Make a wish, Liana.”
“Or are you going to resist?”
It is impossible to deal with everyone gathered here, even if it is the representative of the Toin tribe.
These are the ones who survived the mad night and rose to the top of each tribe.
“No, it’s okay. because i’m guilty I killed the guardians and made a wish.”
“Why did you do this!”
Taiga shouted. A look I don’t understand at all.
Seeing Taiga like that, Liana smiled bitterly.
“why? look around right now How many herbivore beasts are there? Am I the only one? How many tribes were there before Madness Night? before that! Raid Loot War! Think about who it was that was always getting hurt.”
You too should suffer the same.
After that, Liana had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
“Riana, you are arrested as a kinsman.”
said Gray as if declaring.

-Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
– Kku-gu-gu-guk!
Dozens of bondage skills wrapped around Liana, but Liana, whose body and mouth were sealed, glared at the representatives with red eyes.
Penance took upon her.
“You’ve done something foolish, Liana.”
A low-pitched penance.
Even though he found the culprit, his expression was not good.
This case is not a simple crime. It was an incident that broke the trust of Daelimwon, which had been going through hard times.
[Morto’s Defender Quest Cleared!]
[Daerimwon Traitor Quest Cleared!]
[Reward will be given.]
[Title Beast Friends will be obtained.]

.
The quest rewards received from Morto and each representative fall.
“Thanks to you, I was able to finish the job before making a bigger sacrifice.”
“If someone appears against Evileye in the name of Daelimwon, I will take action.”
“Kuhm! I’m sorry I kept ignoring you because you’re human.”
“thank you. Leave the rest to us.”
Looking at those who greeted me, I opened my mouth.
“What do you plan to do next?”
A question with many implications.
How will Daerimwon move?
The fact that there was a traitor among the representatives means that there may be people in the village who want a night of madness.
Got it this time, but don’t know what the next one will be. A member of a tribe might be doing the work.
Took. I tapped my fingers.
“I got a wish ticket as a quest reward, right?”
“yes.”
“I will write it right now.”
I have already decided where to spend my wish ticket.
“Let’s get rid of the wish-granting pond.”
