Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 561

Chapter 561 92nd Floor

[Enter the 92nd floor]

[Move to the nearest area]

[Enter the 92nd floor-Bant Castle]

End of the boundary of the 91st floor After passing there, an alarm sounds and the scene changes.

Unlike the 91st floor where I was on, where there were sparse villages in the meadow, this place was a bit drier. It’s not a desert or a wasteland, but the climate itself feels a little dry?

I wanted the fire to flare up after a few explosions.

‘The first impression itself isn’t that bad.’

There were no burned down villages, and no monsters were eating people.

I thought that if I was unlucky, I might come face to face with fragments of chaos or something like that.

“Nothing special.”

shrugged. I’m not just saying this, it’s because the place where I am is a not very tall mountain.

It was a little big to be called a garden, but it was high enough to reach the top in an hour if you walked diligently. The place where I am is a place where there are no trees with large rocks and stones.

Judging from the sight that caught my eye, I thought it might be near the middle of the mountain. It’s not bad. If I had fallen somewhere else, I would have wandered around looking for a higher place to see the situation around me.

You can just explode the firebomb and go up, but the explosion is so loud that it will attract the attention of any enemies you don’t know.

“That’s the Bant saint.”

I looked at the castle in the distance. A rough but sturdy castle wall and a mansion visible on top of it.

It was a place that reminded me of a medieval manor.

“I think it has a real medieval feel to it.”

“To that.”

Seeing those who looked like farmers over there plowing the fields and farming, I thought it might really be like that.

It’s not too surprising to see a world of different shapes while climbing. It’s more common sense than the spirit realm where you can go from a fire pit to a snowstorm in just one step.

Of course, it remains to be seen if the people here are normal.

by the way.

‘Looks like the magma fairy has fallen somewhere else.’

I don’t know if they were moved somewhere together in Bant Castle or if they were transferred to another 92nd floor.

I heard that there are several 91st floors. Then there must be several 92nd floors. no that would be right

According to what Alios told me before coming here, the 90th floor is one large continent.

A format that starts from the periphery and heads to the 99th floor in the center. The periphery has a wider land mass, so the number of floors will decrease as you move toward the center.

scratched his head

The 90th floor is where the fragments of chaos are. Contrary to that, it was also a place where I could move very freely.

Because going to the 99th floor is the final goal. It was up to you to choose which course and path to take.

It would be more convenient if there was a clear purpose like when I was on another floor.

Catch some monsters. Get rid of the forces that encourage destruction. Like this.

what now

What do you do?

“I have to go.”

I moved my feet without hesitation.

I looked at other places just in case, but there was only one place where I could see traces of people, and as the name of the 92nd floor is Bant Castle, you have to go into the castle to go up.

I have no intention of going in.

It will require minimal preparation. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let’s see what the atmosphere is like here.

* * *

This place was not like the Middle Ages on Earth, but it had something in common.

Resistance with a lord. externally located. Beyond the outer castle, there is a land mass being pioneered and a small village.

It seems that there are other territories if you go further.

‘I don’t know if I’ll ever go there.’

I don’t even know if I can go. Do you know if other territories are blocked by the border? It was something you wouldn’t know until you saw it yourself.

anyway.

“It’s quiet at night.”

Of course there are no streetlights, but there are no bonfires or torches to be seen.

The stars in the night sky are clear, perhaps because there is no light coming from the ground or because the air is particularly good.

I looked for a while to see if there was a constellation I knew, but soon I rubbed my eyes and looked away.

It was a while to get off the mountain road and move along the road. As if it was not maintained, only the dirt road continued, and the village was not visible.

If there was, I would have stopped by there to hear rumors. It was so ordinary that it was boring.

I had to run into monsters and wild beasts along the way, but that’s normal in the Tower.

Still, it wasn’t without success.

“It’s subtle.”

It’s literally subtle. Although I couldn’t find the village, I could see a few things that people had thrown away or dropped.

In the middle of the camp, I saw some half-rotten corpses as if I had been attacked by monsters.

I picked up a few of the things rolling around the floor.

“pot. Firestone. It’s like a gas lamp. A very neatly made silver spoon. There is also a wind-up watch.”

Although it was not a usable item because it was dented and broken, it was good enough to grasp the approximate level of civilization.

It is not clear whether the people who spilled this were the children of wealthy families, peddlers, or ordinary people such as farmers, but it felt like a mixture of the Middle Ages and modern times.

Just look at the wind-up watch with broken glass here. It is a very sophisticated item. I heard that the history of the earth’s wind-up clock goes back to the Middle Ages.

‘Numbers don’t shine on time like this.’

There is also a magical treatment. If you look up to here, you can see that.

As long as the condition of magic is attached, it will show a completely different appearance from the development in my common sense.

The important point is this.

“This kind of thing came out as a mass-produced product.”

If it had been used by aristocrats or rich people since ancient times, they would have thought so and passed on it.

However, the mana stone used in the watch was cheap at a glance and had a simple product number attached to it, as if it had been printed in a factory.

There was nothing special about the material, and the name of the person who made it was not written on it.

It must be an environment where things like this can be used casually.

To say the least, among the places I climbed, there were places where robots popped out. Let’s not think deeply.

I was able to arrive at the village located on the way to Barton Castle at sunrise, perhaps because I walked diligently.

I see people guarding the entrance to the village. It’s not a Yeongji castle, it’s a village, so it’s not a soldier or a guard, but more like a vigilante.

“Hoo.”

My eyes went to the weapons they were holding.

Three people were guarding the entrance, and the two in front were each wearing leather armor and holding a spear with a sword the size of a forearm strapped to their waist.

Aside from the fact that it is in good condition, it is uncharacteristic.

What caught my attention was the guy leaning against the wall with one shoulder in the shade behind him. Apparently, he looked like a senior with a lot of time in the vigilante group.

‘It’s a gun.’

The guy had something that looked like a gun. A long barrel with a straight stock.

The objects attached as decorations and the slightly shining mana stones were different from those of Earth, but the overall design was a rifle.

Considering that it doesn’t have a separate magazine, it should be said that it is something close to a matchlock.

Unlike the wood butt and the handle, which had been polished by burnt hands, the silver decoration attached to the side did not oxidize and was shiny.

Unlike other precious metals, silver quickly oxidizes and rusts if not cared for properly. At that level, it means that it was cleaned with a cleaning solution exclusively for silver.

Some information you can get here.

‘Judging from the fact that he’s holding it, the gun here is also more powerful than a normal weapon. It doesn’t seem easy to find one that only has one and thoroughly manages it.’

At least I don’t think there will be many cases of getting shot while walking.

it was better It doesn’t matter if it’s something like magic or skill, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a normal firearm.

It would be different for ordinary people, but my protection skills are fraudulent.

anyway.

“Shouldn’t you stand there and be interrogated?”

“I don’t think it’s merchants or migrants who don’t have luggage. What is your purpose for coming here?”

As I stood still, the two people in front of me shook their spears, perhaps a little annoyed.

Judging from the guy behind him yawning for a long time, he must be waiting for his shift while standing guard on the night shift.

I don’t even want to get on their nerves.

“I came to stop by before entering Bant Castle. I’m thinking of going quietly. haha.”

He smiled and scratched his head lightly.

Didn’t they say that you can’t spit on a smiling face?

“There are often monsters out there these days, but I’m not afraid.”

“Looking at you at this time, it looks like you were walking down the street at night.”

Good eyesight for a village vigilante. It seems that the military has been captured to some extent.

“Because it’s enough to protect my body.”

Took. He struck the sword at his waist.

That’s not wrong. It’s not really at the level where you go and get hit.

“He is a talented person who walked alone through the night road. You deserve this. Big hum. We also want to just let it go, but since this is work, we need to do some searching.”

“yes. yes. It’s because we’re the ones who get robbed if there’s an accident after sending a strange guy in. What should I say? I wonder if there is a need to verify whether he is a good and upright person.”

The guy who sneaks forward clears his throat and rubs his fingers.

It’s the same everywhere you go. It means to be moderately sincere. It seems to be a kind of custom that what you do is natural.

a bit troubled I don’t have this currency. Gold is valuable wherever you go, so giving out a piece of gold would be a good idea, but if you do that, rumors of this or that may spread.

A person who scatters gold nuggets at random goes around alone.

If I met a bandit on the way, I’d rather get rid of the money.

“Just let go.”

The timing to think about what to do, the old man standing behind with a bored expression called the two of them to a standstill.

“If you hear gossip in the morning, you’re out of luck. Even at first glance, he doesn’t seem like a mediocre swordsman. Go in. Just like I said, keep quiet.”

As he pointed his thumb behind him, the two vigilantes, who briefly crossed their eyes, stepped aside.

I nodded my head at the unexpected goodwill and went inside. When I look at him from the side of my eye, he is also staring at me.

Although the appearance was disheveled, the posture of holding the gun has changed. So that you can point your gun whenever you want.

Was it a boundary, not a favor? It seemed that he didn’t want to fight for nothing.

nice eyes

“Let’s start by looking for an inn.”

I paid attention to him and looked around the town.

I thought it was small when I saw it from a distance, but when I arrived, it wasn’t that small.

I wonder if at least hundreds of households would live there just by hearing the noise and people walking around.

The clothes she was wearing were also quite tidy, and although the colors were a bit muddy, the dyed clothes were also not boring. Not comfortable with dull colors. Even if it gets dirty, it’s less noticeable.

The smell of dirt, the smell of animals, and the repulsive smell of filth rises from the streets. I wrinkled my nose at the strange combination of stench, but the others didn’t seem to mind.

Maybe these guys.

‘It’s a neutral NPC.’

He frowned slightly.

It’s not anywhere else, it’s a neutral NPC you meet on the 90th floor.

A number of cases run through my head. what kind of place is this Who am I going to be dealing with?

He raised his eyebrows.

Although not expected.

‘There will be no fragments of chaos here.’

I can move around a little easier.
