Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 599

Chapter 599 You know well

I had many worries, but the one I chose was the right to go out.

There was a limit to the information that could be obtained from the castle, and among the subordinates I could command, there was no object that could secretly infiltrate people and steal information.

You have to have the strength and ability to get out of yourself when something happens.

The only possibility is Himerun.

“You won’t.”

“What do you mean?”

Even if it moves sneakily at night, it is too conspicuous due to Medusa’s nature.

no legs at all I don’t know if it’s because of Lamia’s blood, but I’m not on the small side. If it spreads all the way to its tail, it will be over 4 meters long.

Above all, Himerun must remain here for the sake of managing the castle.

There was a difference in intelligence depending on the grade, because the 1-star monsters that swarmed outside were full of rage.

If you tell them to dig to make a field, they will dig a tunnel.

“Is the state of the demon castle okay?”

“It is definitely better than before. Previously, all of the income earned was being used to secure food. Now, the cost of food has decreased a little bit.”

“One imp farm won’t be enough, right?”

“of course. We need more places where we can get a stable supply of food.”

Going out was something I did, and I had no intention of leaving the monsters alone while I was gone.

There were many functions that I needed right away, and there were things I had to do while I was away.

‘Exploring unexplored land.’

Recklessly expanding frontiers can be dangerous.

Starting with this invasion, some functions of the management window were activated as if the opening conditions had been lifted.

Some of them even had some guides written on them.

‘The order of invasion is fixed.’

To be precise, the lingering swamp that prevented the invasion this time became the first space they encountered when they invaded.

This means that they don’t randomly land on the frontier each time they invade.

If the intruders pass through the lingering swamp and move to the next frontier, then that frontier will become the next frontier after the swamp.

Just as the stage is set when playing the game.

The reason for this structure is simple.

‘I’m trying to make sure that the enemy can prepare and attack.’

Invaders can learn through experience what is in each stage, what monsters appear and what environment they have.

As time goes by, the probability of clearing will increase and you will gradually get closer to the castle of the devil.

In a place where the strategy is known, players who haven’t grown yet will grow by hunting monsters.

In other words, the halfway-made frontier was nothing more than an experience point farm for them.

At the same time, it was also a natural procedure.

In the process, the intruders will also suffer a lot of damage, and we will gain a lot too.

I also need to get frontiers to place facilities like other imp farms or get places like mines.

There are ways to do this in reverse, though.

“Have you ever used a strategy to keep the frontiers in Himerun to a minimum and summon them to the Devil Castle to fight?”

“there is. It was a pretty effective method. If you do well in the beginning, it is a useful strategy until the middle, but the gap in growth widens as time goes on.”

I knew it.

Calling them to the demon castle and catching them.

I can definitely go out on my own, and there are many monsters waiting in the castle, so it will be comfortable to deal with the invading enemies.

It will give you a win rate close to 100%.

Even if level 10 players flocked to me like dogs, they couldn’t be my opponent.

But…

“Because invasion is not the only way players can grow.”

This part was the problem.

You can start off with an advantage in the beginning, but the enemies will continue to get stronger and attack you.

On the other hand, the demon king’s side has to grow only through those who attack, so the speed is inevitably slow.

Up until this point, I had roughly expected it.

‘If they could only grow through invasion, the ones who attacked this time would have been level 1.’

It was also a strategy that ended with just one defeat in the first place.

I have to see an ending that has never been there before. However, there is no need to act out of the ordinary.

If you do that for no reason, you won’t be able to recover from it. Instead of being moderately ordinary, you have to take a differentiating point.

After organizing my thoughts, I checked the ticket to go out.

[Voucher to go out]

-Enjoyable outing! You can go out of the demonic realm.

– Randomly sent to one of the cities on the human side.

– Forced return after 24 hours.

-You can return faster than 24 hours if need be!

I was given 24 hours.

Before setting out, I stopped by an unexplored area that could be accessed nearby and put monsters for exploration in it.

The process took two days, but if the exploration goes well, you will be able to get 7 more frontiers.

You’ll be able to get the items you need, including gold.

I bought a ticket to go out and put the remaining gold aside for a while. It will be used differently depending on which frontier is created.

Early morning after hours.

I stood up and watched the rising sun.

It’s time to go outside.

“Himerun, do you remember well what I said?”

“of course. But can I really do this?”

“I trust your judgment.”

“If you would say so.”

Himerun, who was in a good mood, accepted the evolution stone I gave him.

[During the outing period, Himerun is granted the status of an agent.]

“To the extent that it does not expose the demon castle.”

“All right.”

While I’m out, Demon Castle is managed by Himerun.

Not only the inside of the castle, but also about the invasion.

Strangely, the corner of his mouth raised seems to have wanted to try deploying forces in preparation for an invasion. Are you interested in this?

‘If it’s okay, I’ll think about giving some of the command later.’

If new frontiers continue to appear, it will be difficult for me to manage all of them by myself.

That’s it.

Before going through the portal, I looked at the castle.

[Demon Lord Lv.1]

‘When am I going to level up that thing?’

You’ll see if you watch more.

Without hesitation, he moved to the portal to the human side.

[Luck stat activates!]

* * *

Wearing light leather armor and wearing a steel sword with no options.

I wore a beard with a simple camouflage, but there was no awkwardness, so I walked the streets in a satisfied state.

I can’t give monsters my items, but it seems like there’s no problem with my use.

‘You did well to dress like this.’

Just in case, I dressed in shabby things, but the placenta of the players walking around has the same look as me.

There were times when he was wearing normal armor, but even that was not a full plate, but he barely wore just one breastplate and leggings or gauntlets.

However, seeing that he had a high nose, it seemed that he did not measure his size and wore cheap iron armor under the current situation.

In fact, there are kids who admire those guys.

‘Certainly, the kids who invaded the first time prepared a lot.’

It seems that the words that he prepared for it was not a lie.

I am in Neverdale, one of the starting points on the human side.

It was a village located on the riverside, but if you went up through the waterway, you could go to the big city, Hupenpedia.

Maybe it means to grow strength here and then move on to the big city.

If it were later, I would go to the big city, Hupenpedia, but for now, I’m in the early stages. This was a time when players were concentrated in the starting area.

It would be nice to take this opportunity to wipe out the enemies.

[You cannot fight while you are out.]

Unfortunately, that was not possible while you were out.

If this were possible, it would be unbalanced.

Going out is only for reconnaissance and exploration. In addition, it is used to buy items that cannot be supplied by the castle itself.

Although I can’t fight, it was not dangerous because I had the ability to return to the castle whenever I wanted.

“Hmm, there are a lot of monsters these days, so it’s hard to find herbs. Can you help me?”

“I need the skin of a wild hound.”

“Don’t go into the alley. There are bad guys out there.”

Even if you look around for a while, it is full of things that look like quests.

If you go out of town, there are many low-level monsters that aren’t too threatening. The conditions necessary for early growth were quite good.

‘It means that I can raise my abilities safely.’

I’m eating while worrying about who’s eating.

I felt unfair for nothing, but soon shook my head.

It’s because you can’t start from the same position as the individual and the leader of the group.

If I had just started as one of the Demon Lords, I wouldn’t have worried about what I’m doing now.

It wasn’t difficult for me to live on my own and improve my specs.

‘I act according to the situation.’

Let’s focus on the purpose we came here.

The time given to me is 24 hours. There is no time to sleep. Because I had to figure out a lot in it.

I’d love to visit all the starting spots if possible, but I don’t have the time. To some extent, it has to be guessed at.

The first thing to figure out is the number of players.

“Does anyone want to go party hunting!”

“Anyone in need of crafting skills?”

“Sell the potion!”

There were not only those who hunted, but also those who used life skills.

Creating a market with each person’s ability feels similar to the initial safe zone in the tower.

Those who are active in the village, not the field, also had to be counted as players.

‘About 200 or more people in this town. If you include the people who are active outside, I think up to 400 people are possible.’

I heard that there are 4 such starting points in total. There are 4 representative locations. Other than that, there are various cases such as starting in these special situations that are unknown or starting in large cities, so the number must be higher.

There will be quite a bit of error, but let’s take a guess.

‘It’s better to think that the number of players is around 2000.’

It seems like a lot more than I thought, but it feels just right.

Every time the invasion failed, people would die, so it was only natural that the number would decrease rapidly.

Especially when faced with unexpected danger.

“hey.”

As I moved to inspect the hunting grounds, someone stopped me.

Looking back, I saw a man of mixed druid blood and a group of people each carrying a weapon.

Is it a party play? A guy with a shield and an archer. The person who called me uses an ax and the other person looks like a wizard.

A very basic yet suitable member.

level above them.

[Miruju Lv.10]

[Maximus Lv.9]

[Julia Lv.10]

[Foreman Lv.8]

‘The average level is still around 9.’

It doesn’t look like it’s growing too fast.

It was fortunate for me.

“What are you doing?”

“Are you planning on having a party? It seems like it would be a bit difficult for us to go alone, so I would be grateful if you could help me…”

Help? to me all of a sudden

I looked at him, wondering what he was talking about, and he also glanced at my head.

[Rainbow Warrior Lv.16]

– Nickname and level are randomly determined while out.

-Service for security!

– Impressive, right?

“Sir.”

“yes?”

“Oh no. great. Let’s go.”

Naturally, the topic changed.

Somehow, while I was wandering around, there were some people watching me, so I guess my level was 16.

Caring is right. If I’m alone and the level doesn’t float, that’s also suspicious.

Although I didn’t like the fact that my nickname was the Rainbow Warrior.

‘What’s not Petit Gongdu?’

Somehow, when I came over here, the luck stat was activated. Was it because of this?

Thank you lucky stat! I believed!

For a moment, I cried inwardly.

“Oh, but where are you going?”

“It’s not bad to just hunt in the field, but it’s also there to get stronger quickly.”

The ax man who called me. Maximus raises the corner of his mouth.

“Demon King.”

oh there

“Let’s go. I know that place well.”

I know very well.
