Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 386
Chapter 386 Receiving a Mission
A parade ground made by renovating the yard of the dorm.
Rangers and strike squad members train. Needless to say, the instructor is a bald man.
“There number two! Pull more behind your feet. Number 5, when tackling outside, put your arms properly inside the opponent’s feet.”
Also a human weapon.
If it’s hitting, it’s grappling, if it’s grappling. From knife fighting to simple self-defense.
What the hell are they teaching in the special lease school? Is it a mixed martial arts gym? You usually shoot, don’t you?
Whatever it was, the ability was certain. I am also surprisingly good at teaching.
Not only elves, but also druid warriors are coming and receiving training.
Neither do we.
“Hey man, this is hard.”
“Lick, you are too big. I can’t reach my arms.”
“No, I can. If you try, you can do it!”
“…doesn’t he grow taller?”
Licker and Catpun were also rolling around, and I was also exchanging various skills with the Druid Warrior.
Strong muscles like a tree trunk unique to Druids.
His physicality is amazing, so he has a good taste against him.
I also went to various gyms to prepare for entering the tower, and there are things I learned, but this guy is pretty good even though it’s my first time.
“Everyone up here. Review it and guess the match and sum, okay?”
As if this was enough, the hair loss man ends the training.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been training instead of actual combat, so it feels different. It’s good to practice, but it’s important to learn it step by step like this.
After saying goodbye to the druid who became his partner and taking a little break, it was the licker’s turn to train.
The subject he was in charge of was basic physical training.
I forgot, but Limjjjagi is also an elite athlete. I hear you did archery for a while.
“Break time is over! Everyone stand up!”
Spartan education in a different sense from the hair loss man.
Systematic training was hard work even for elves and druids running through the woods.
Same for me. Even though he has physical strength no different from that of a superhuman…
‘You know how to deal with people, right?’
By increasing the intensity of the licking training, he somehow pushed himself to the limit.
“Exercise is a mental battle! You have to have the conviction and the will to win. In particular, this place is like a battlefield. The moment I give up, I think I will die!”
“Oh, that’s right. The military spirit is amazing!”
“Soldier is Mr. Kkok! Hair loss is hitting the head.”
“Since I’m not bald, I don’t have to… Can I fuck you like this?”
A guy who calmly hits his head with just one glance.
Why are you so black? I can’t even find it.
To the kid who is already angry because he enlisted because of me in the second heaven.
“Gongble kid. i think i will die help me.”
“Wouldn’t it be better for your life to take off your accessories first? It looks like you’re lifting weights by yourself.”
“no. They are precious children who save my life.”
It’s like taking your lifeline now.
Nyangpun somehow keeps up with the training even though he is trembling.
But maybe it’s because I had a career as an idol, so I have venom. I heard that you shouldn’t be coming here too, but you have to sing while dancing, so your stamina must be above the basics.
It would have been a bit more comfortable if it weren’t for the accessories hanging from the body. It’s half gold. Gold is heavier than lead.
you will do well If you fall down, then you can feed them with the water of life. Deokchun can lick it.
“Ughhh.”
“Agooooh.”
“Evil humans.”
“Isn’t this actually torture?”
The song resounds. I’d rather say something if it’s just us, but there’s nothing to say because Lick is also with him.
It was the moment when basic physical strength training became the first priority for avoidance training.
“Make room for a moment, please.”
Hika, biting her lip, came over and whispered to Lick.
A guy with a frown.
“Everyone up here. Follow Nyanfun Gongble Hair Loss. Got a job.”
Everyone cheers and sits down at the news of the end of Lick’s training.
Me and the members had to move on wobbly legs.

I got out of the parade ground and went into the dorm. Miffy had already set up the documents.
I sighed and sat on the sofa.
Fika, who had locked the door in case anyone heard, used the Silence skill.
“What’s going on, everyone’s expression is not good?”
“Whoa, I don’t know where to start talking about this.”
At my question, Fika rubbed her forehead.
I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s a good thing.
“Let’s look at the report first. This is a report from an observation team operating separately from the rangers and the mobile strike force.”
handed over the paperwork. It wasn’t just the text, it also included photos.
‘dead? Is it recent?’
Those who died during the mission were recorded.
Even if it wasn’t a crew member, there were some unidentified body parts.
Not just elves. There was also a report from the Druid side. Both bodies were found.
The latter half of the document lists the recently missing persons, with several death checks next to them.
“Recently, there were rumors that the number of missing people was increasing, so we were checking. You can see the results.”
“At first I thought it was the work of the surviving intruders, but I don’t think so.”
From what I can see, it doesn’t seem like that.
It is not a wound from a weapon. It would be more correct to say that he tripped and got into an accident.
There are traces of being weighed down by something heavy or drowsy. Is this a bruise?
There are no sharp stabs or cuts. I don’t know if it’s a scratch from a grass or tree branch.
‘I could have used a blunt instrument or a rope. Isn’t it a little hard to see that all 10 people suffered that way?’
Because there is no need to insist on a blunt weapon. Let’s say you use stones because you don’t have a weapon. It’s questionable whether you can catch the Ranger with it, but even if it happens…
‘Why didn’t you take the weapon?’
Better than stones. According to the contents, the food they had was also the same.
Even for a person trained to infiltrate the forest, would it be easy to procure food in a forest where elves roam with lights on?
“It all happened on the outskirts of the forest. We believe that intruders came in from outside and escaped after a surprise attack.”
“The outskirts have been demonized.”
“that’s right. But not as much as Twisted Forest.”
That’s right too. The twisted forest is different in scale. There are a lot more creatures that live there.
There is a creature in the newly created place, but if you decide to pierce it, won’t it pierce it somehow?
I gave up on the twisted forest in the end, but I managed to break through the beginning.
The members also scratched their heads and read the documents.
“Is this some kind of retaliation?”
“I am keeping that possibility open.”
Miffy nodded at Lick’s words.
It’s also something that’s likely to happen. From the intruder’s point of view, Hidden Garden is the enemy and evil of mankind.
Okay, I can roughly understand the circumstances before and after.
The important thing is why we inform this fact.
Looks like it hasn’t been officially announced yet.
If I had informed you, I would have listened to it over and over during training.
“I’m keeping it a secret to avoid confusion, but it can’t be left unattended.”
“The restoration of the World Forest and the organization of the system have not yet been completed.”
“I have a request for you.”
From now on, the main point.
“Elves and druids are heavily influenced by their environment.”
“Outside the forest, your overall stats drop.”
I know that. That’s why most elves can’t even enter the twisted forest.
Druids seemed to be less affected, but they weren’t completely free.
“Could you go outside the World Forest and look over the situation?”
“It is the judgment above that they will be more free than us in terms of appearance.”
Miffy averted her gaze, probably embarrassed as she spoke. It’s the same as openly blaming humanity.
After all, he was branded a traitor when he stopped the invasion last time.
Whika and Miffy’s eyes meet, and they pull something out of their arms.
“It is not just a request. I will pay you back.”
“These are the leaves of the World Tree. It’s a hard thing to get.”
What Fika held out was the leaves of the World Tree.
“It has a miraculous effect in itself. It is also an ingredient for various potions and top-notch elixirs, and stats rise even if consumed as is.”
“If you want, I can make an elixir with the secrets of the Hidden Garden or process it into anything you need. One more there.”
Fika swallowed a gulp and threw her gaze out the window.
“I would like to give you a chance to face the world tree. This is a rare opportunity obtained through the strong insistence of Elder Medhi and Elder Pargal.”
“If you don’t have the qualifications, you can’t enter even if you’re an elf. No human has ever entered it.”
“Wait a question.”
I raised my hand.
I know that the world tree is precious to them. Leaf is also a welcome thing from my point of view.
But isn’t there much merit in seeing the world tree? I don’t know about anyone else, but I already raised the World Tree because I couldn’t see it right in front of me.
“What are the advantages of looking at the world tree? We don’t know anything about this.”
“What an honor! The World Tree is one with the Snow Spirit. She is like a mother.”
Oh, I see.
It may be for them, but not for us.
Perhaps because of the lukewarm response, Miffy looked at her and whispered.
“In addition to the divine tree blessings, gifts are given to those who are deserving when they first visit.”
You say it like that a long time ago
The members’ expressions brighten. Especially Nyanpun. It doesn’t matter if you say it’s secular. If you do the work, it is natural that you get paid for it.
Isn’t the risk burden too high to call it volunteer work?
‘Wait a minute, there wasn’t anything like that when I finished the World Tree quest.’
Could it be that it was a quest reward? I’m sorry for nothing
good night. I came to a world with elves, but I need to get something.
‘Actually, I wanted to see the World Tree up close at least once.’
Isn’t the name of this scenario starting with the world tree stained with blood?
I’ll have to check it out sometime. That way, the event of accelerated destruction will be prevented.
I’m ok and what about the other guys?
“It’s a gift from the world tree… I’ll do it!”
“So what?”
“If you need help, just tell me! You just have to trust me.”
A hair loss man who beats his chest.
I like it because it’s the same
Anyway, opinions seem to be unified…
“Specific missions and information outside the schedule. Please prepare the necessary equipment.”
“yes! I have it prepared in advance. Just wait!”
Both faces brightened.
You’ve prepared everything.
“This is an old map, but it is the location of the human kingdom. I also marked the bases of the humans that I had identified in the past. I searched the Hidden Garden and collected the currency used by humans.”
“What I’m wearing now stands out, so I cut it to fit the style over there. is the size ok? I’ve often heard that you have a keen eye.”
Wheeca and Miffy explain the items they prepared at this time.
Originally, I wondered if there were so many words.
I think my ears will bleed.
The explanation that lasted for 2 hours was over.
“If you go out and find something interesting, can you bring it? Apparently, Hidden Garden is closed, so there’s nothing new.”
“I don’t like humans. ah! Except you. Hmmm. They say they make a lot of strange things.”
Even if the world perishes, people’s lives are the same.
look at the twinkling eyes After all, if you live only thinking about survival, people will get sick. I have to go through some new things.
“Don’t worry. I’ll bring something.”
“Ah, what you’re doing now is top-secret, so I’ve prepared a separate way out.”
Whika led us through the back door.
A druid was waiting between the trails.
move after him. I came out to the outskirts avoiding the rangers and the mobile strike force.
“I’m here. Please come back safely.”
A guide will see you off.
The current location is in the North Forest.
After changing into the clothes prepared by Hidden Garden, we carefully got out of the forest.
“Hi go.”
I paused for a moment and wiped my face.
