Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 453
Chapter 454 Shall We Show You Something Interesting?
The Undercity, created by the residents of Giantpolis, is divided into 5 districts.
It was growing based on the black market, and among them, the 1st and 3rd districts were worshipers as the main customers, and the 2nd district located in the middle was forced to suffer from the pressure of the two districts.
“Are you going to open it now? You should know that too. That we have no choice but to deal with them now that we have settled down here.”
“Public opinion in Giant Police is not good. Without the help of the worshipers who are rapidly absorbing it, friction is destined.”
Organization blue hand that manages area 2. In their stronghold sat two giants from outside.
Daloo, a man wearing neat clothes and rings on both fingers. He was the one who ruled District 1, and the woman sitting next to him was Herma, who occupied District 3.
The giant sitting across from them brushed his beard and shut his mouth.
In recent years, the pressure to deal with worshipers has been intensifying.
At first, there was a small friction between the districts, and there was a case of stealing guests, and rumors that were obvious rumors circulated, and emotions between the districts intensified.
In particular, the supplies needed for the Under City began to be blocked little by little.
“If you join hands with us, we will solve more food.”
Dalu said in a calm tone.
The main trade was different for each district. District 1 of Dalu mainly dealt with food smuggled in from Giantpolis.
“I heard there are sick people. Don’t you need my help?”
District 3, managed by Herma, mainly dealt with medicines.
Roles divided based on the tendencies and specialties of each tribe.
Food and medicine were an essential part of life, and when the two districts made up their minds and reduced supplies, it was the second district that was in trouble.
“Anyway, that person also acts as a solver. Do we need to screen out customers?”
“Worshipers can become your best customers if you accept them. You know they need people.”
“…it’s not a matter for me to decide alone.”
The leader of District 2, Farmer, opened his mouth.
The reason why I was able to hold on despite the pressure coming from both sides.
The Blue Hand organization he led was strong. There were a large number of strong warriors, and they lived by performing all kinds of dirty work and solving problems.
Even among the residents of Giantpolis, the Blue Hand organization was hired. If it hadn’t had the power to defend itself, it would have been absorbed long ago, leaving only four districts in the Undercity.
A place where everyone shares their roles and maintains a balance of power. Because that was the Undercity.
Still, it wasn’t easy to hold on. The giants were large and the warriors used more energy than other giants, so they had to eat enough food.
Because he usually does rough work, it is possible to get hurt. Medicines are also desperately needed.
At least, he might have succumbed if he hadn’t been supported from behind the scenes in District 4-5, where he was wary of infiltrating worshipers.
‘Even though that support is dwindling now.’
Farmer crumpled his face.
Area 4 (the area where Evileye belongs) deals with stolen goods. It was a place where all kinds of dirty money came in, and at the same time, it was a place where the widest variety of goods was handled.
The problem is that the volume of transactions decreased, whether it was because of the influence of worshipers or for other reasons.
I don’t know if it’s because of that, but the amount of support was decreasing. District 5 wasn’t the place that gave us so much support in the first place.
You have to make a decision. It was he who pushed back as time went on.
‘Whether it’s absorbed by these guys or tamed after relying on the support of Area 4, the result is the same.’
that it is eventually absorbed into other areas.
Farmer, who was touching a cup on a small table, looked at Daloo.
“Your ring has changed, so have your clothes.”
“Oh is this? No big deal. Worshipers gave it as a gift to thank them for the deal. Aren’t you okay?”
“It’s hard to imagine how she was dressed when I first saw her. Do you have any objections?”
“Ah, when is that time? When the environment changes, people change too. Not old-fashioned.”
He chuckled, but Palmer’s expression didn’t ease.
Farmer remembered what the Undercity looked like when it was first created.
Now, Dalu is wearing neat clothes and lots of jewelry such as rings, but it was different before.
It was an outfit decorated with feathers that symbolized the tribe. There were no feathers visible anywhere on the body now.
“You too, Herma.”
“Skin care is basic. It’s different from being in the desert. It seems to have whitened my skin a bit. Take care of yourself before it’s too late, shave your beard. Aren’t you proud of being old?”
Herma is from a tribe that used to live in a desert area. It was a sharp image suitable for the rough environment, but now it feels more like ceramics than a knife.
At her point, Farmer brushed his beard slowly.
“You are losing your roots. Those who forget the root will lose everything. Remember where your strength came from.”
“I am still using witchcraft. On the contrary, I became stronger because my condition was good.”
“that’s right. You keep talking about your hometown, but it’s not there anymore. Just accept the reality. That bastard’s snowy mountain is gone now, isn’t it?”
– Quaang!
At Daloo’s words, Palmer stamped his foot.
The legs are buried up to the calves and the building vibrates.
“It’s all because of that dirty rain! Why do you follow those who stand for it even after losing the most precious thing!”
Dalu and Herma shut their mouths at his screams. I wasn’t overwhelmed by the momentum.
I just look at him with a cold gaze and live quietly.
drooling.
Dalu and Herma stood up from their seats.
Both of them are proud enough to be in charge of one area. At the same time, he was not stupid enough to be in charge of the members of the organization
. As long as Farmer was excited, he judged that further conversation would not work. I thought I’d give it a shot next time.
Time was on their side and there was no need to rush.
“I’m leaving for today. I hope you don’t think too hard.”
“Quench your excitement. You’re all in the same situation. We want to live as we used to, but it is true that the world has changed. Perhaps even a prophecy is not absurd. think carefully.”
The two giants who gave me the last words left.
When the door opened, the gang members who were waiting to protect the two moved in unison.
The eyes of the members of the Blue Hands in District 2 were not bright, but none of them moved recklessly.
The door closed and Farmer, who was left alone, sighed.
“You’re annoying.”
“Okay, I agree.”
Then, in an empty space, a voice was heard.
* * *
After being guided to area 2, I started to move on my own.
Gregory also moved along, but since he was an outsider, he had eyes following him.
The guy who claimed to be the guide and Gregory decided to walk around District 2 and check the atmosphere.
I used stealth to head to the boss in charge of Area 2.
The original plan was to have a quiet conversation, but there were passengers waiting in the corner of the room.
When I heard the story, the giants from Districts 1 and 3. It was also the bosses of the organization that managed each district.
I quietly listened to the story to get information, and after the two left, I showed up.
“Who are you?”
“Who wants to talk to you.”
“postmark?”
“What is it? You still do not consider yourself a child.”
“Because a child can’t lie with me and hide from their eyes. Did the worshipers send you? I heard that they use strange powers.”
-Sueuuuuu
As he clenched his fists, cold air flowed through his hands.
is it witchcraft He said he was born in snowy mountains, but he seems to be using that ability. The name of the organization is also Blue Hand.
He let out a small sigh and raised both hands.
“I am a worshiper hater. I have no intention of fighting you. Rather, they want to get rid of the worshippers.”
“I don’t believe in words like that. If you call your brothers right now, you won’t get out of here. Please clarify your intention for coming here.”
The head spins pretty quickly. Be alert and know how to appeal to your advantage.
Rather good. It’s because this side is more conversational than the stupid guy.
“I’m from District 4.”
I handed him the papers Diret gave me.
The guy who was looking at me suspiciously withdrew his spell and pointed at the chair with his chin.
“The one who got rid of the second sun. To be honest, I don’t believe it, but I will listen to the story. Direth is a vicious but down-to-earth guy and there’s no way he would do this for no reason.”
“Thank you for that.”
It’s a chair made to the size of giants, so it almost feels like you’re on it, but it’s enough if you can face it.
“You know the world is on the verge of destruction, right? It’s raining black and that’s it.”
No answer. It’s probably not a topic you want to talk about.
“A prophecy foretelling destruction. The phenomena that appear there are actually happening. And I am a figure in the prophecy.”
It’s a lie, but what is it? Turn lies into truth I intend to move like that even to clear the chapter.
“So what do you want from me?”
“Nothing. I just want you to join me in what I do in the future.”
“What to do next?”
He pointed up with his finger.
“I’ll deal with the cultists first. Instigating, making the giants split. After that, I plan to stop the black rain.”
“for a moment.”
wriggling The guy’s eyebrows gather.
“Black rain? Are you just talking nonsense? Then it won’t end well. There are many people here who hate the black rain.”
“why? Is it because he is the culprit that made you leave your hometown?”
He didn’t answer, but he said that the life he felt from him was the correct answer.
I know that too, so I scratched it a little bit. From my experience, giants tend to value their hometowns very much. That guy Farmer seems to be worse than that.
I took a bottle from my treasure bag.
“that.”
“that’s right. Black rain.”
Without hesitation, he poured black rain from a bottle onto the table.
A sticky liquid. It was viscous, flowing, and strange in many ways.
“Shall I show you something fun?”
He raised his eyebrows.
I didn’t decide to go into area 2 and move right away. I devised a strategy after hearing about Farmer and the Blue Hands.
It’s hard to get a positive answer if you just go and shout out to join us.
It was prepared over a period of three days. The result is this.
-Duwoong
put his fingertips in the black liquid.
A phenomenon that came with destruction. A substance that possesses properties that cannot be understood but is not affected by other forces.
It does not burn in fire and does not dissipate in water.
I did a variety of experiments, and among them there were several reactions.
-Saaaaa
The first is divine power.
The black rain that reacted to the divine power that flowed through his fingers bubbling and became noticeably lighter than the first time.
It was a natural phenomenon as it had the power to purify the unclean, but this was not enough.
Judging by the look on his face, he seems surprised by this alone, but it’s not over yet.
Next up is Maggie.
Irregular and violent aura. That’s why it’s more free and intense power.
-Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..
In response, the black rain began to spread freely.
It changes shape according to my will. triangle. square. circle.
Got a hint here.
If the divine power had the effect of weakening the black rain, Magi sympathized with it and exerted an influence.
And Magi…
‘It’s the closest power to chaos.’
The reason why destruction comes so quickly in the demonic realm. There are times when demons run amok, but I think the fundamental reason is because of Magi.
After all, the reason demons have such a tendency is because of the demonic influence.
– The power of chaos
began to move along the fingertips.
My chaos level has already exceeded 100 points.
If there are phenomena and abilities that have not been felt or understood in the meantime, there is a high probability that chaos is latent.
It was something he experienced while watching catastrophes, and as his chaos level increased, he became resistant to the effects of disasters.
In other words, another power that cannot be displayed by status.
A power that defies rules, destroys, and has the potential to become anything.
And…
‘The source that forms the fragments of chaos.’
-Saaaaa,
the black rain became transparent for an instant and seeped into my fingers.
“What is this!”
Seeing the black rain staining the floor completely disappear, Palmer stood up.
black rain. It was a phenomenon with the power of chaos, and I was able to absorb the black rain as I had more chaos than anyone else.
It’s a little uncomfortable, but so far there are no side effects.
I flicked my fingertips and looked up at Palmer.
“how is it? Can you trust me now?”
“…can you purify snowy acid?”
“I haven’t done that yet, so I don’t know. Would it be possible?”
It will take some time.
Actually, I have no intention of going around and purifying myself. How wide is the giant world? It will continue to rain.
If anything goes wrong, the correct answer is to get rid of the culprit. To do that, you have to organize the chapters first.
“What can I do?”
Farmer asked, as if making up his mind.
well what can i do
First of all…
“Shall we eat from area 1 and area 3?”
