Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Exit Ceremony

The night is deep and everyone is asleep.

I walked down an alley where restaurants and bars were closed.

“You worked hard, Deokchun.”

“Eugheh.”

Deokchun was on his shoulder as he had no eyes to see.

A little frown. I am still sticking out my tongue as if my appetite is stifling.

“Here’s the chicken skewers.”

“Gww!”

I handed over the chicken skewers I had prepared to comfort Deokchun.

A guy who eats with one hand.

As I watched, my appetite returned, so I took out another one and put it in my mouth.

“It tastes good. kuh. Spicy and sweet is the truth.”

It cooled down, but the taste didn’t go anywhere.

The ball is over. The rest will be completed by Lee Jin-moo, the manager of the Daseong Guild.

“Isn’t that right, Deokchun?”

“Geeee.”

What I did was simple.

I went to the stall where he was faster than the potion seller.

didn’t he say He said he would offer the potion as a gift.

All I had to do was put in something that shouldn’t have hit the player first.

It was Deokchun who helped me.

[Deokchun (Chaos Frog-E)]

-Attribute: Acid (C) Recovery (E) Poison (E) Flame (E

)

Deokchun’s help was needed to mix the poison into Nome’s potion.

Originally, I was going to put acid acupuncture.

“Isn’t it good to have characteristics?”

“Eugheh.”

While I was doing it, I decided to feed Deokchun the potion I bought him.

Fortunately, Deokchun was also reading my thoughts, so there was no big backlash.

Rather, he chose and even drank.

Deokchun also lived in the tower.

As it was a space where you couldn’t survive unless you were strong, you were quite active in growing.

–

As long as the tail still remains, the potential for future growth is overflowing…

Anyway, out of the 20 unsuccessful potions, I drank 12.

Among them, only two were converted into traits.

poison and fire.

Thanks to that, I was able to get the proper poison in the potion.

I scratched Deokchun’s chin.

If you spit acid and lick it, you can recover. Now you can spit poison and breathe fire.

‘Looks like he’s gradually becoming a super frog.’

Maybe I can fly later.

He’s grown so big that he’s carrying me around.

Then it will be comfortable when walking around.

“That’s right.”

I was fantasizing about it inside, but Deokchun swung a skewer saying he wasn’t even thinking about it.

The lowly guy loses, getting slapped on my shoulder every day.

If you burn it, it will get worse.

“Quack.”

After reading my thoughts, Deokchun waved his finger.

He points to me once, then to himself, then puts his finger down.

therefore.

“You can’t because you’re lower in rank than me. What is it?”

“Gweek.”

oh. matched

Are you at the point where you can have a conversation with Deokchun?

This is the bond between pet and owner. Friendship with companion animals that lead a life together.

… is a horn. damn frog.

“Chicken skewers confiscated.”

“Geeeek!”

-slam!

Naturally, I tried to take away the chicken skewers, but failed.

Until they get slapped on the cheek again.

Half a beat is a fast movement.

isn’t that too much He reads my thoughts, how can he surprise me?

Is this why I’m low in rank?

sad. I’m being pushed by a mere amphibian.

“Ugegegege.”

The guy who sticks out his tongue nastyly focused on the chicken skewers again.

okay. To lose is to win.

Aren’t people who raise cats also called butlers?

the cat is the owner Let’s think of it like that.

Because I am a mature and true owner.

the warrant of all things. It’s a human victory! I kept my dignity.

He tried to rationalize himself and nodded his head.

If you can’t win physically, you have to win mentally.

“Eughehe.”

Deokchun sent a disrespectful look from the side, but he ignored it.

at that time.

-Paat

-Pat!

Light started to burst from afar.

The lighted building was rented by Daseong Guild.

Those who looked like guild members were scattering in all directions, carrying torches and glowstones.

Angry shouts rang out intermittently, and curious people opened their windows in their respective inns.

I raised my eyebrows.

“Did things go well?”

There’s only one thing they’ll react to like that.

I was given a poisonous potion as a gift.

Potion seller stupid guy. It seems that they didn’t even do the minimum inspection and gave it all.

I wanted to make several, just in case.

‘Thanks to that, I won’t have to move messily.’

If things didn’t work out, I tried to make them go up through threats.

Or by digging into other types of traps and disposing of them through handlers.

Either way, it’s a good thing for me.

“community.”

When attention is focused, you should definitely finish it.

I started writing

[Petit Gongdu]: Everyone, I’ve been hearing bad news lately.

It is said that sometimes there are people who recklessly commit terrorism in return for helping me.

How sad is this. No matter how much you hate large guilds, you can’t do that!

Isn’t that where everyone lives together? global village! stomach. ah. more. one!

Of course, sometimes not. (frowns)

But don’t be so mean.

I don’t care what happens to the large guild, but it hurts my heart to see you guys get hurt☆

Then, I’m done hoping that everyone will climb the tower in good health. Pop!

The second line from the bottom is sincere.

Shouldn’t the limbs be fine and work hard to climb the tower to read my strategy and give the contribution?

It’s good that they’re on the top too.

I’m glad the title has been upgraded.

This is superstition. My sister is good, my brother-in-law is good. It’s a win-win relationship.

“Ugh.”

Deokchun slightly opened the distance, but he easily ignored it and stretched.

It’s refreshing when the worries disappear.

It’s late, but let’s have a delicious dinner and get some sleep.

“ah. Let’s finish eating the rest of the potion too, Deokchun.”

do you know Will there be more new features?

“So…”

Deokchun also answered in a weak voice, but he did not refuse.

If I go up alone, I will be with the owner and pet all the way to the 100th floor.

wait for a sec.

‘They say I’ll be resurrected if I die, but what about Deokchun?’

infinite coin. It was created by a quest given to me.

Deokchun is connected to me, but is there a coin?

Suddenly, out of curiosity, I checked the pet information.

[Deokchun (Chaos Frog-E)]

– When the owner dies, they are moved to a safe area together.

– In case of death, the owner (Cho Hyeon-soo) is resurrected when entering the safe zone. (Top only.)

“After. thank god.”

I was afraid that if I died, it would be the end.

Top not knowing what will happen. I can’t be completely responsible for Deokchun’s safety.

In the worst case, I was worried that Deok-chun and Young-young

would break up.

If Deokchun dies first, he will be alone until he gets to the safe zone.

“That way is better.”

Took. I touched Deokchun’s nose.

“On him!”

As usual, Deokchun bit his finger, but a real laugh came out.

* * *

After a good rest, I prepared to go out.

slender body.

“Certainly, beds are science.”

After sleeping on the floor, I covered myself with a soft blanket and slept on a roofed place, and the fatigue went away.

Having warm water and a meal with peace of mind was also excellent for soothing the exhausted mind and body.

“Being a hunter makes my body stronger.”

When I was working as a porter outside, after rolling once, I felt sick for a few days…

For an ordinary person’s body, just moving for a long time with a heavy load was too much for me.

Now, both physical strength and recovery are at a considerable level.

If you go later, you will be able to sleep comfortably as if you were sleeping in a hotel even when you sleep outside.

As I left the inn thinking useless thoughts, I saw people buzzing.

“Did you hear the story? Yesterday, I heard there was an attempt to poison the manager of the Daseong Guild?”

“No one knows. It spread widely in the community as well.”

“It’s hot these days. He seemed like a follower of Petit Gongdu.”

“Anyway, you crazy bastards. Because I don’t know why.”

It seems that the potion seller was caught last night.

After all, it must not have been easy to shake off the guild members who gathered at once.

It wasn’t even that great of a fight.

“They said they would kick you out altogether.”

“Well, it wasn’t that they were hitting each other, but poisoning them insidiously was crossing the line.”

“They say there’s an exit ceremony at the square at 12 o’clock. I will do it soon.”

“Kuh. I’ll take a good look at it in a while. I’m not going to say that again If you defeat me, I will forgive you all your sins.”

“Poop! Crazy baby. It’s like a dog.”

exit ceremony. It is a punishment used when committing an unacceptable crime in a safe zone.

Kill until you run out of coins.

This is why he didn’t immediately kill the potion seller last night.

Let’s check it out.

I’m on my way anyway.

* * *

Square center.

Pillars were erected on the stage reminiscent of a stadium.

The person tied to it is the potion seller I met yesterday.

“I’m sorry! plot. yes it’s a conspiracy! It’s a ruse by those who are jealous of my talent!”

He complained of injustice, his voice cracking as if he had been screaming for a long time.

I still feel like I haven’t come to my senses.

Maybe that’s great self-love.

I checked the time and it was just before 12.

The eviction ceremony will begin soon.

“Ohhhh! It’s the handler!”

“Kill! You can’t kill a guy like that!”

“Show me the manager Lee Jin-moo!”

People began to murmur, and Lee Jin-moo and Da-seong guild members appeared through the crowd.

“Let him go.”

The guild members release the potion seller who was imprisoned under Lee Jin-mu’s instructions.

The potion seller fell on the floor and looked around and ran to Lee Jin-moo.

“Ei-i-i-ik!”

evil eyes. It was a face that didn’t know what to do.

“Where!”

“wait. We haven’t started yet.”

Naturally, I was stopped by the guild members waiting nearby.

Red bloodshot eyes. The beard got even messier with saliva.

His eyes trembled anxiously.

“What did I do wrong! Dogs! oh no Don’t you know the manager? I am not guilty!”

The potion seller screamed loudly, but no one agreed.

The same goes for Lee Jin-moo.

He just held the ax with a stiff face.

“You did something funny.”

snap. At Lee Jin-mu’s signal, the guild members behind him bring swords and shields.

Throwing away the potion seller, the weapons thrown aside.

“It is twelve o’clock. Do not hold an exit ceremony. As always, if you defeat me, your sins will be erased.”

“That kind of thing! It’s forced! fraud! It was all a lie to recruit them to a large guild! It was all lies!”

“At least do it. That way the audience cheers.”

While all guild members retreated. Lee Jin-moo turned the ax lightly.

The guy who sees the weapon in front of his eyes and goes about his life without even knowing what to do.

Lee Jin-moo, frowning, stepped forward.

“It doesn’t seem like the situation has been grasped yet, so let’s die and start.”

“that is….!”

–

It’s been awhile since I tried to make an excuse.

The moment the ax was swung, the potion seller’s head split.

Blood stream gushing out.

Before the recovery effect applied to the safe zone had time to activate, he died.

-Passus

His corpse disappeared with the light.

after some time.

“You bastards! Just wait and see! Wait and see!”

The potion seller who was revived at the Daseong Guild’s inn was dragged in again.

His eyes widened, perhaps because of the aftereffects of his recent death.

A struggle close to madness. Nothing changes though.

This act will continue.

until his coins run out.

I made my way through the crowd.

Now that the exit ceremony has been held, you don’t have to worry about the potion seller anymore.

‘Shall we go upstairs?’

Because time is precious

Two days until the arena event.

I intend to climb the tower.

There is also a purpose to catch monsters and improve your skills, but the biggest purpose is.

‘I have to collect Rilka’s quest materials.’

It was to solve this nasty quest.

I have no intention of spending time foolishly in the safe zone.

It’s still a long way to go to the 100th floor.

I had to work hard to get out as quickly as possible.

* * *

-Uhhhhh

North of the safe zone.

I saw a portal going up to the 11th floor.

Unlike the 6th floor, there was only one portal and no one wandered around.

Everyone seems to have gone to watch the exit ceremony.

-I

drew my sword and went inside.

A familiar feeling of opulence.

[Entering the 11th floor.]

A message popped up.

The light is distorted for a while.

When sight slowly returned.

[Floor 11]

[Floor 11 to 19 is a heat zone.]

[Floor 11 has arrangements for climbers.]

[Kill Lizardman (0/30)]

[Kill Viper (0/30)]

Hot I could feel the heat and the moisture soaking my body all at once.

swampland. A muddy ground with moss-covered trees and water weeds. to the watery swamp.

It was an environment where just being still would make you exhausted.

[Dalkan’s Fur Scarf (B)]

-Increased fire resistance.

– Monsters of a certain level or lower feel fear (2 stars)

.

For the same reason, it was free from the attacks of Lizardmen and Vipers roaming the swamp.

Monsters secretly widening their distance.

[Rilka’s Request-Compulsory Quest (1)]

-Viper skin (0/50)

-Fire Dragon’s scales (0/1)

-Eku Yeti’s Tears (0/20)

“Shall we start by collecting viper leather?”

I blew myself up.
