Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 573
Chapter 573 Caught and
Strong Body. My head was broken, so I shaved off half of my head and put a bandage on it. I think the blood scab was sitting on it and the bleeding was pretty bad.
Usually, that’s enough to make everyday life impossible. Because the brain is hard to fix when it’s broken. At least a concussion would have been a wound.
“Kuh. nice.”
I pour the whiskey that was on the table into my mouth, as if I don’t mind the inflammation.
His beard is also shaggy, so he looks like a bandit. Isn’t it like a pirate? On his belt are two pistols and a hatchet.
His limbs are still undergoing treatment, and he frowns whenever he moves, but he sits down without a single groan.
Quite tough personality. Are you used to this kind of pain?
Examine the opponent with authority.
[Odric]
Neutral NPC on the 91st floor.
– Belonging to the party.
-2nd class monster hunter.
A level 2 monster hunter. I felt it when I was in Miyane Village, but this town has real monster hunters.
I don’t know the exact grade, but I don’t think the level of the subordinates around me and the atmosphere are so low.
At the same time, I thought of one more thing.
‘There is no other skill.’
Seeing that he has no special skills or powers, he must be a climber. Maybe the background of the world is the point where the tower hasn’t appeared yet.
If so, it would also mean that the vampires roaming outside did not come through the gate, but existed from the beginning.
Is the balance right? The one I missed wasn’t the one to be graded like a normal monster.
If it was 5 or 6 stars, I couldn’t even respond and my sword blew my throat. Can you survive against those who dodged it?
Of course, Odrick, who was in front of me, did not look like an ordinary person. It’s just that he didn’t have any skills or powers, but his body looked no different from that of a hunter.
One more thing that stands out.
‘There are several titles.’
It was as much as a title.
The one who caught the werewolf. A monster catcher in Maphta Village. The one who slayed the swamp-eating monster, and so on.
It may be that an independent ecosystem was created because there was a ruler. Not only the system, but also the ruler’s rules are absolutely applied here.
“Lock the door. Are you sitting there too? If you’re going to stand and talk, do it.”
Sigh.
The chair screamed as if it were hard to support his body, but he didn’t care and pulled a chair that looked clean and sat down.
Miya also glanced at her and sat next to her.
“okay. You found the one who attacked me?”
“It is not exact. I just know the faction he belongs to. Shinepa. I came to meet one of his subordinates.”
“Hoo. You managed to come back alive.”
Odrick’s eyes light up at the word Shinefar.
Although injured, the eyes did not die. I looked at him while exchanging short questions and answers.
One hand is prosthetic. I don’t know if I should call that a prosthetic arm. Elaborately crafted contraptions replaced the hands, and an exoskeleton-like device attached to the unbroken leg.
It looks like a protector worn when something breaks the cruciate ligament in the knee.
It must have been a lot of effort, but the brass and golden magic stones were embedded in it, giving it a refined appearance.
It reminded me of a place that I could even see the clockwork device that was revealed at first glance.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Gears. I knew he was an outsider from the way he dressed. is it a knight? Hmmm, since they are only stuck in the ecliptic, they must have been kicked out half of the time. Just like the guys next to the dear lord over there.”
this was the gear Took. I watched as he tapped on his knee brace.
Now the back and forth are roughly aligned.
The party that vampires were talking about is the Vega party.
A toy made by Vega Party, who told me about it at Framberg. It’s something I made experimentally to make gears or sprayed for promotional purposes.
‘Was the Vega Party a group to catch vampires?’
Technology that does not fit the times and magic engineering using magic stones.
An NPC with a strong body but no powers and skills.
Gear was a device and a weapon that aided their lack of ability. That’s why you’ve been catching vampires until now.
Looking at the title, it doesn’t seem like they only caught vampires. Are you a veteran?
Catching monsters.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me where the culprit belonged.”
“That’s right, because each of the guys here has a faction. must have been one of them sorry If I did well, I could have given you a big shot.”
He smiles and shakes his hands.
It seems that he was trying to catch the guy who attacked him somehow.
“Is this all you want to say?”
“I want to go to the Vega party. I also have a job to catch vampires.”
“Who is the lady next to you?”
“I was invited to a party by Vega, so I am with her.”
“invite! aha. Do you have any gifts from you?”
Leaning his upper body toward Miya, he shows curiosity.
Why do you seem to be more interested in this than me?
I nodded to Miya, who looked up at me, not knowing what to do.
It was good to pack my things in advance because I was planning to change lodgings as I left the inn.
Odric admires the watch-like toy he showed me.
“It’s a win. Doesn’t look very old. Even if he hadn’t come like this, I would have invited only Joman again. It’s the season these days, so I don’t just watch.”
“Are you inviting me again?”
Is there such a thing? I don’t know much about this either.
There is a place called Vega Party that is very closed.
“There is such a thing. What are you talking about to outsiders?”
Returning the toy, Odric leans back on the backrest.
Quick!
The chair that couldn’t bear the weight broke, but Odrick, who was accustomed to tilting his upper body to balance, stares at me with his mouth twisting.
“I guess he was the one who was digging around about the Corpse Sculptor Caliber, wasn’t he?”
Rumors have already spread.
I didn’t expect much from security. It’s not a specialized company, and there’s no way that kids in the back alleys can’t gossip about it.
Even if it wasn’t me, I thought it wouldn’t be a problem since the guys who came for the bounty were poking here and there.
What should I do or not? He’s just having doubts, so if you say no, he has feelings but no physical evidence.
The trouble was short-lived.
“That is me.”
This is the person you will meet when you start promoting anyway. there’s nothing i can’t say
“The purpose of the bounty? Or fame? It might be the latter. Then, recruiting could come from a good territory. I see now that it was a free article. There is romance.”
There seemed to be some misunderstanding, but I didn’t bother pointing it out.
I think I’ll let you think what’s comfortable for you. Rather, it was Miya who was surprised.
“Was it a knight? I knew you were using a sword, so I did it just in case.”
“So Vega can come into the party? If not, I’ll go in on my own.”
That’s all I can think of. He shakes his hand as he pretends to stand up, showing that he will leave if it is not for a more fruitful conversation.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! don’t be in too much of a hurry I’ll ask you to let me in if you can help me. I can’t decide either. It is at least level 1 to be able to make direct contact with officials. Because only the top monster hunters can come in and out. At least it’s the 2nd grade, so I can at least make a request.”
It’s that I’m not up to grade.
Nodding his head, he checked the guys standing around him.
Among the people here, 5 people are related to the party. One level 3. The rest are 4th or 5th grade.
It means they can’t even contact you. How big is the difference in skill level? I was a little intrigued, but quickly brushed it off.
I just looked at the situation.
To enter the Vega party, you need at least a level 2 monster hunter.
Since Bant Castle is large, there must be monster hunters of other ranks besides Odric. I don’t think it would be much.
Right now, the configuration here is like this.
How long it will take to find the other guy and the chance that the guy you find will be cooperative.
The pressure that comes when I arbitrarily break into the Vega party and the penalty for attacking.
I compared several possibilities.
“Help.”
“Good. I still wanted to see the skills of a knight-turned-monster hunter. Those guys have such a stiff neck that it’s not easy to talk to even half a penny. Previously.”
-Gugu-gugu-gu
The guy’s momentum is getting stronger.
His mouth was smiling, but his eyes were calm.
“I want to ask you to prove that you are real. can you show me?”
I pointed my sword with my chin.
what do you want me to show you Can I cut my neck coolly?
I wish I could have been a bit more specific. I slowly drew my sword and took my time.
“Can you use a blade? Were you a real knight?”
Miya made a fuss and her eyes twinkled.
Oh blade. I was talking about something like sword steel.
I should buy Miya something delicious later.
I was confused because this world was subtly mixed with things, but it seems that the articles here are also using the same aura.
Well, it’s convenient to have an aura to catch monsters.
Rather good. I have something similar too.
[Gumgang]
-Wow Woo Woo Woo Woong
Magic flows through the sword.
The energy took shape and created the blade.
-When I lightly
stroked the whiskey bottle on the table, it was cut off and the remaining alcohol spilled onto the floor.
The guys around me were buzzing in surprise. Miya’s reaction was not much different, but Odric’s was different. You must have already seen something like sword steel.
“Introduce yourself properly. Odrick, the second-class monster hunter.”
“It’s Evil Eye.”
“I’m Miya.”
He took the hand that the boy had extended.
I think this self-introduction is enough.
“What do you want to ask for?”
“Oh no big deal. I have good information, but my body is like this, so it was a bit ambiguous to attack.”
I think I found a place where vampires are gathering.
It’s not a very difficult request.
Just…..
I took a potion out of the treasure bag and threw it.
“You go too. Drink.”
I have no intention of going anywhere. If you’re going, I’ll go with you too.
* * *
Between buildings in Bant Castle. The underground space, which was prepared deep under the shabby space, was full of people.
Those dressed in shabby clothes, and those who play poker with this naked woman in a gentleman’s suit.
The lips of those who sucked in the cigarettes filled with strong nicotine and hallucinogenic ingredients were dry.
Strong smoke went up through the vents, but the space was filled with smoke that couldn’t escape, and those who held the trump cards bet their chips in exchange for their lives with haggard faces.
“T triple.”
“It’s too bad. straight.”
“It can’t be! no! That was the end!”
The loser hits the table, but the force is insignificant, and the dealer sweeps his chip and hands it to the opponent.
“don’t worry. there will be more now The bottle is full.”
“yes.”
At the winner’s words, the person standing next to the table locked the tube stop on the loser’s arm.
One arm of the man who had his head banged on the table was handcuffed, and the man who took the glass bottle full of blood that had fallen through the tube into his arm piled chips in front of the loser and left.
The woman who was watching him let out a long puff of cigarette smoke.
“So what kind of guy are you?”
“It was a man who appeared to be a knight. I didn’t even know the name, but it seemed like he hadn’t been here for a while.”
“He’s a stranger who rips through Idun’s chest.”
The woman runs her fingers through Idun’s breasts. A solid line that has completely healed but remains faintly.
The woman standing in front of him laughed as Idun swallowed at the dizziness felt through his chest.
“It’s fun, grab it.”
“Yes, Mr. Shinepa.”
