Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 633
Chapter 633 It’s too bad
I accepted Adela’s quest and was assigned an inn. It was not as fancy or luxurious as it was a fort made for military purposes, but it was a cozy and comfortable space.
There was only a blanket on the creaky wooden bed without a blanket, but it’s been a while since I caught a cold, so I’m fine.
“It’s okay as long as it’s not a barracks.”
“To that.”
Looking at it, the space was ambiguous, so it was not uncommon for people to sleep in warehouses or, in extreme cases, to be homeless in barracks.
Since the size of the fortress is also there, it seemed like it would be okay to expand the convenience facilities, but the 94th floor was a place where there were many dragon monsters.
It wasn’t just a lot, it was a place to live together by taming dragon monsters like raising livestock and raising military horses.
Not only were there dragon knights who rode them, but there were dragon monsters that were raised for various purposes, so they needed quite a bit of space.
“It’s a way to tame monsters. Maybe this will help.”
I thought as I lay on the bed with a pod in my head.
A situation that has already entered the transition period of destruction. The days without monsters are in the past, and we will continue to live with them.
A reality you have to accept whether you like it or not.
If at first the purpose was to kill and eliminate monsters, now he continued hunting to obtain magic stones and other by-products.
The fact that the perception and utilization of monsters is gradually changing. Then, wouldn’t it be a natural world to raise monsters like livestock someday?
‘Thinking about it, my perception of monster meat has changed a lot since I climbed the tower.’
Since there are very few people with cooking skills, everyone buys food from the shop window.
Everyone knows that the dishes sold there are made of monsters. Because those are the only things that come out of the tower in the first place.
There are quite a few people who ate to live even knowing that. If it was outside the tower, it would be unimaginable. For those who underwent a cataclysm, monsters were those who ate people, so there was no choice but to be repulsed.
Now that I’m like that, I’ve spread the word while cooking, so my reluctance has decreased a lot. Especially the people of the Pejing Union.
In a way, it must mean that everyone is adapting to the changed world. Personally, I think this is a good direction. Because I can no longer live the way I used to.
“If we can use powerful monsters like this for battle, even the weak hunters will have a bit of power.”
The person who climbed the highest before I entered the tower was on the 60th floor, so it was ambiguous to say that the level of those outside was high. On the other hand, the level of the monsters that appear continues to rise.
At least Oh Ji-hyeok and Kim So-dam went outside, and those who shared some strategy with the people of the coalition went out to the upper floors, so it was only a little bit of breath.
‘I’ll have to get the taming skill and skill book.’
Sooner or later, when skill synthesis is unlocked, I will look into the combination method to obtain the taming skill book. Also, ask the people here.
Even though it was late, I couldn’t sleep so I looked out the window. Even though it’s past 12 o’clock, it’s not as dark as I thought.
A bright full moon outside the foggy window. It was said to be four times bigger than the moon seen from Earth, and the baby moon that rose next to it was orange.
‘Did they say that when the young moon turns red, dragon monsters become ferocious?’
To be precise, I heard that the influence of the dragons in the center of the 94th floor increased and the dragon monsters responded.
On that day, whether it’s a wyvern or a drake, they put it in a cage and close the door. In a way, it was also the period when the Dragon Knights were at their weakest.
At the same time Adela was planning to attack the South. We become weak, but the opponent also becomes weak. If so, it is better to prepare in advance and attack first.
I definitely feel it, but the NPC named Adela is not normal. Should I have ambitions? My head seems to be working fine too.
There was just one thing that bothered me.
‘This whole situation is because the forts in the west collapsed due to unknown causes.’
Adela is trying to take advantage of the situation.
I was concerned about what caused it to happen. It may have been a simple concern, but it was also an issue that must be addressed. There’s no law saying we shouldn’t suffer what the West did.
Instead, they could have had to put up with the forts they had obtained for unknown reasons while suffering as they did.
It’s not that Adela doesn’t know that, so she’s running an exploration team.
“I’ll have to check before the little moon turns red.”
If you still feel uncomfortable, it’s a good way to check it out even if it’s annoying.
Currently, Margon Fortress was concentrating on securing materials for war and gathering information. In addition to forming an expedition to occupy the empty fortress in the west, Adela will move directly to negotiate with the fortress of Grazia in the west.
In other words, until then, I don’t have much to do.
He tapped his fingers lightly.
“I guess we should move together when we rob an empty house in the West.”
“That’s right.”
It’s the place that suffered the most damage, so it’s better to go and check it yourself.
On the way, ask about the First Monster. If there is a way for them to get out of the gate…
‘We have to find out how to respond in advance and inform the outside world.’
According to the news, 6-star monsters and disasters have already appeared outside.
In the near future, special gates with ancient monsters and first monsters might appear.
Besides, there could be a gate of a kind that I don’t know about, so it’s better to find out how to solve it in advance.
He stomped his feet and quietly closed his eyes. It was time to sleep for tomorrow.

“You’re going too. It seems to have something to do with me.”
“It’s not my taste to sit still and eat rice, Mirva.”
One of the people who set out to take over the empty citadel in the west was Mirva, whom she first encountered on the 94th floor.
Anyway, since he was also a dragon knight, he would be useful in the event of a battle.
In addition to this guy, 4 more Dragon Knights participated. There were about 100 people who participated as members of the expedition.
At first glance, I thought it might not be too much power.
‘It would be good to have this much to occupy at the same time. We need people who will stay and stay there.’
With this expedition, they planned to occupy all four forts, so it could be seen as an appropriate level.
All the members were not combat personnel, but some moved with food and daily necessities, so I thought it was rather tight.
Every time the wyvern flaps its wings, a strong wind blows through its hair.
“You’re calmer than I thought. Those who rode the wyvern for the first time are busy watching.”
“It’s not the first time.”
“No way?”
Mirva tilts her head in disbelief.
It is common for wyverns to have no riding experience as they are famous for being dirty because they are dragons and bird heads.
But I was an exception. I had already created an air force on the 93rd floor using wyverns and stingrays.
I rode it myself and tested it several times to check the performance. It was only then that it was possible because they systematically obeyed me.
“It shouldn’t have been easy to tame the wyvern, do you have any secrets? It doesn’t seem like they were timing separately.”
“ha ha ha! Did you notice? Climbers think that just by looking at it, they are taming, but they have great eyesight.”
Rather than saying that she had a good eye, she was just saying this because the information about Mirva she saw through her authority didn’t have a taming skill.
“If you drink the blood of a dragon and raise a wyvern from the time it was a baby, you can relate to it to some extent. Of course not all are possible. Among them, only those with a high affinity get a chance to become a Dragon Knight.”
“Can I tell you that?”
In a way, it must be their own secret.
“What else can I say? Everyone here does that. As I said, even if you copy the same, it means nothing if your affinity is low.”
I’d say try it if you can. Looking at the reaction, it seems that there are not many cases of building affinity. It must be the same reason why he feels proud of being a dragon knight.
I’ll have to give it a try. Even if it wasn’t a wyvern, there were many dragon monsters, and some of them had fast growth rates.
If you get monster eggs and spray them on the people of the alliance, some might be successful.
‘If I get a taming skill book and at the same time tell them how to tame it, I’ll do anything.’
If not, then there is no answer. anyway.
“There you go.”
We were able to reach our destination. Small and medium-sized fort collapsed. On the middle road, they were divided into four platoons.
The place Mirva and I should occupy is the westernmost one. It was our job to eliminate potential hazards and guard them before the goods movers arrived.
We rode the Wyvern and were the fastest, so those on horseback had to wait for about 10 hours to arrive.
“Umm, I guess I’ll have to fight for this.”
He nodded slightly. The inside of the fort is a mess. In the meantime, the monsters were looking to see if there was any food left.
Some of them stupidly kept banging their heads against the wall, while others were moving forward with blank eyes.
I watched it carefully.
‘Definitely strange.’
It is not uncommon for monsters to move in groups. Even thinking about the monster wave, large groups would move.
The only thing I care about is
“Aren’t those guys having a food relationship?”
“Hmm. exactly. I’ve never seen them move together.”
Among the gathered monsters, there were both predators and prey.
To put it simply, it means that mice and cats are moving together. It’s not a lunchbox with feet, and there’s no reason to walk around like that.
The only possibility is when you run away from a great threat, whether it be a prey or a predator.
‘It’s too relaxed to see that.’
Instead of hanging around like that, I had to run away.
And that’s not all. The fact that I noticed because I had a wide field of view while riding a wyvern.
‘There are also corpses lined up here.’
Although it was rare, I saw the body of a dead monster moving this way from afar.
Judging from the fact that all of them had their heads facing east, it was correct to assume that they had the same destination.
“Is there a way to wait for a while and then join?”
“I have something to check. I’ll go down first and see. You wait here.”
“If you jump like that!”
– Whoa, whoa!
After saying that, he jumped off the wyvern.
The speed at which it fell was astounding as it was tens of meters in the sky.
-Quad de deuk!
-Quaaaaaaang!
I landed on the back of the tallest-looking guy.
Bones and flesh burst open, leaving a large pit.
Tens of meters was a little too much. It seems that my legs are a bit numb. If you move around and circulate the blood, it will get better.
“Kreurreuk?”
“Gaaa.”
Those who reacted to me who appeared out of nowhere turned their heads to me.
Once one has been removed.
“I’ll have to catch about fifteen more and it’ll be sorted out.”
From 4-star monsters to 6-star monsters, evenly gathered. Is it fortunate that there is no first monster?
-Paang!
He threw himself at the nearest guy. A sword swung horizontally with a twist at the waist.
-I
stretched my hand out in front of the guy who was splitting and crumbling at an angle following the sword strike drawn with the sword sword.
[Aurora Beam (S) Lv.MAX]
-Kwajijik!
I nodded my head slightly as I watched the light beam flying high into the sky, blowing off the head of the guy who was attacking me.
It was a bit disappointing for NPCs on the 90th floor, but it was still usable against monsters.
Firebomb will make a messy place even more messy, so try not to use it as much as possible. It’s better to catch it with a sword as much as possible.
The timing to move towards the guys running excitedly.
“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
– Awesome!
-Quaaaaaang!
Mirva descends with the Wyvern and sweeps them away.
Huge hailstones fell, smashing his head, and the wyvern swallowed him who was unconscious with the shock.
“You can’t just watch! I’ll help!”
Mirva exclaimed excitedly.
But I couldn’t.
“Mirva, get out of here!”
[The eye that watches the SSS-class powerful star is displayed.]
[The Wyvern of Mirva has been infected with a parasitic species.]
Bad information came to mind.
