Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 613

Chapter 613: The Rats’ Search

Those who invaded at an unexpected timing.

I was literally robbed of an empty house. The level of those who appeared as holograms, as Garti said, was an average level of 37.

Among them, there were two that stood out.

“Level 39 and 38.”

There were two players who were on the verge of reaching level 40.

Hwamusun of Rookie Group. That guy reached level 38. The nimble woman next to him is level 39.

nickname.

“An awl fairy?”

this is the person A member of the fairy club. The person who went on an expedition last season.

The nickname is unusual. I don’t know if this is a mere coincidence, but each member of the fairy club showed the ability to communicate with their nickname.

It’s probably because your inclination affects your authority.

I had 2 powers from the beginning, but most of them get powers based on what I have been playing through awakening.

Just like how Nyangpun gets safety first and the hair loss man has superpowers. Was it the final winner of the licking?

In that sense, the awl fairy…

“The battle side. maybe an assassination? I think it might be that one.”

There are enough possibilities. The magma fairy had said it. The fairy club is made up of guild members who played games before entering the tower.

The tanker is a muscle fairy, and the forward dealer is a magma fairy. Besides that, there was one person who ran rampant in enemy lines like a hit man, and there was also one rear dealer.

What should I say? Did you give up on healers and mainly played with damage? It was said to be a guild made up of small elite parties.

Overall, it meant moving aggressively, but looking at what I’m doing now, it seemed clear.

“You hit well. That party might be the expedition team this season.”

Those who reached the end of stage 19 before they knew it.

I also left a few 3-star monsters, but it was useless in front of them. It’s because they continued to attack quickly but firmly as if they had been in agreement for a long time.

“I think we will enter stage 20 soon. Shall we place more?”

“No, let’s just watch.”

Conference room where executives gather. I spread my senses in all directions while looking at the hologram. I didn’t know if anyone else would do anything else.

Verification is required.

The strength of the enemies I have to deal with.

‘The movement of the traitor in here.’

Raising the corners of his mouth faintly, he watched the enemy’s attack.

Just as the players learn how to attack the stage through repeated challenges, I was able to see how they behaved by watching their play.

As expected, the awl fairy was an assassination type, and Hwamu-seon was a bit unusual. It’s like a magic-type skill. What should I do? arithmetic? I was doing something while wielding a fan, so the monsters that were attacking me lost their way and got attacked and died.

It feels like a supporter just by looking at it, but you can’t get up to this point with only a few grab skills, so you have to see that there is something else besides that.

The rest of the staff seemed to be NPCs, but there was a mix of a healer and a tank dealer. It’s okay, but looking at the sophisticated skills, I wonder if it’s a veteran.

“You made a good combination.”

“It’s simple, but that’s how good it is. It is a structure that is maintained even if someone leaves in the middle, Lord.”

Knight also nodded in agreement.

He also has a good understanding of tactics and forming formations, as he was the head of his own domain.

“Brother, I will go and get rid of it!”

“huh. I promise you, if you go in as a stage boss, your throat will be severed within four days.”

“I can’t help it if you dry it like that. You guys are lucky.”

Ignoring Venom, who was just messing around and quickly pulling his tail, I rested my chin on it.

Those who have cleared stage 19 escape without any regrets. Did you think that there would be no point in advancing further?

Well, it seems to me…

‘It seems like I stopped after learning that I had returned to the Devil Castle.’

He quietly raised his head and looked at the executives gathered in the conference room.

‘Are these guys right?’

The timing of the enemy invasion was exquisite, so I doubted it.

There was one reason why they recklessly cleared the stage.

‘When the demon king is away, he picks up mulberries as much as possible.’

If you push all prepared stages, you will reach the Demon Castle. Originally, I would have to deal with the demon king, including the executives, but without me, only the executives remain.

Of course, that alone has no chance of them winning. Those who are not even level 40 yet. On the other hand, most executives are 4-star.

There Garti reaches 5 stars. No matter how fast they grow, it’s not a power that can be overturned.

‘Assuming that the previous demon lord Garti doesn’t betray.’

The officers are not yet awakened or armed. Since there are more of them, it will be possible to try it somehow, and if the demon king takes the player’s side, it will not be impossible to take control of the demon castle.

That’s why I was the first to keep an eye on Garti.

I knew I was going out, and as a worshiper I would have a way to keep in touch with those outside.

‘The fact that I just returned from the invasion means that someone told me that I had come.’

It’s because it’s burdensome for them to advance further and reach the Devil’s Castle.

The question is who did it.

I gathered the executives in one place and looked at the reaction, but no one was doing anything separately.

Since there was nothing affected by authority, it is unlikely that she used authority or skill items.

There was no word traitor in the explanations of the executives. Since the Gartiya information was twisted, it could not be verified, so for now, it was only listed as a candidate.

In conclusion.

‘Someone other than the executive leaked the information.’

came to this conclusion.

Wait a minute…..

“For a moment, to devise a response strategy. Venom, you follow me.”

“yep! older brother!”

I took Venom, who could never be a traitor, and went out of the conference room.

He walked down the aisle and bit his lip. Not all cadres are gathered. only 2 people. There are people who are not here.

Fadum is making equipment at the forge.

The guy who doesn’t come out of the Alchemy Workshop.

It couldn’t have been another lower class monster. Because I never told them that I was staying out.

Of course, there are still unanswered questions.

‘If they were both in their studios, how would they know I came back?’

If indeed one of them is a traitor.

‘There is not one traitor.’

Someone had to let them know I was back.

* * *

The first place I visited was the blacksmith shop.

It was also the most active place among the facilities in the castle.

There were a lot of monsters and there were a lot of equipment needed.

There are also plenty of assistants attached to move materials and products and help with the phadum.

In other words, even if a few traitors sneak in, no one will think it’s strange.

It has been cut off now, but there are still spies on the human side who have been deployed to sell demon castle equipment. That it also has a means to pass information on the inside of the castle to humanity.

That’s why I put it in the list of traitor candidates.

“No, not Fadum.”

Upon visiting and inspecting it, it was not Fadum.

Not that there’s any other reason. The smithy was so busy that they couldn’t even pay attention to the other side.

As soon as I came back, I asked if time had already passed.

I wondered if I was acting, but according to the testimonies, I never went out of my studio while I stayed out.

I had to use the equipment export line to communicate with the outside world, but after checking, it was managed by Himerun.

Above all, there was no explanation that Faedum and other monsters were traitors even when they looked at them with authority.

only one left.

-thud. thud.

“I’ll go inside.”

The most recently opened pension workshop. knocked on the door there.

The door was firmly closed to ensure that no one had visited. There was no sound coming from inside. Are you stuck in a corner again?

Normally, I would just pass by, but not today.

– Kiki

opened the door and went inside. Venom also sneaks inside and is on guard.

“Trust me, brother. I will show you the power of the second-in-command of Mawangseong, the younger brother of my older brother, who is the captain of the Mawangseong.”

After he said he was going to catch the traitor, he was still in that state. I don’t know how helpful it will be, but if an emergency situation arises, it will be able to play the role of delivering news to the executives.

It would be nice if Deokchun could go, but unfortunately he couldn’t tell.

-Seueueueu

The workshop was dark.

The only light was a bonfire in the corner over there. The weakly lit fire to heat the pot sways bluish.

“I know that someone doesn’t like to come, but I have an urgent matter, so could you come out for a minute?”

I didn’t know where the owner of the workshop was, so I walked slowly and opened my mouth.

Could it be that you didn’t notice that I was coming and ran away?

When the facility was opened, the guy inside could come out, so it was a story with enough potential.

What if the reason why you’ve been hiding in the studio so far was to catch the enemy?

‘He’s not an ordinary guy.’

With that thought in mind, I lowered my stance slightly. With his hand on his sword, intending to slash if something like a trap were triggered.

one step like that.

“…Why are you looking for me?”

A voice was heard. A cauldron bubbling and boiling, nowhere else.

I thought it contained reagents.

“Slime?”

“Yes, slime.”

The bubbling liquid slightly sticks out its head and bows its head.

Oh, it must have been slime. A slime famous for being ordinary and the weakest.

can it be

I used the authority right away.

[Mini Mic]

-Demon King’s executive NPC.

-Spirit slime that only a few exist!

-A mystical slime that is half cerebral.

-I am in charge of the Alchemy Workshop.

-If you feed the herbs and squeeze them, maybe a potion will come out?

I narrowed my eyes.

does not exist. There was no mention of a traitor anywhere in the information.

Wouldn’t the traitor get information separately?

I don’t think so. Because authority mainly tells me the information I need. Whether the relationship with me is hostile or friendly.

The guy who was looking at the watery eyes came out of the pot and took shape.

It looked a bit like a combination of a dwarf and a fairy, but it looked shy and glanced at me with a lot of crouching.

I’m running out of strength. did i miss it It must be inside the demon castle.

“Obviously one of the executives. Then, is Garti right for you?”

Since it was confirmed through authority, the culprit has no choice but to be Garti, whose information cannot be verified. Even if he’s a traitor, he can’t be confirmed by authority.

“Cadre?”

“There is a traitor among the officials of the castle. A guy who neighs with the human side.”

There was no explanation that the other guys were also traitors, so the guy who couldn’t read the information using the elimination method was probably the culprit.

“What if it’s an executive?”

“Himerun Faydum Pierre Garti. There is also a phantom knight, but he’s from the frontier, so you wouldn’t know.”

“Why are you taking me away, brother? What a pity!”

I stepped on the guy’s tail.

Either that or not. Mini-Mick, who was staggering, blinked.

“There is one more.”

what? executive?

I tried to remember if there was an executive I didn’t mention, but there isn’t.

The executives in the castle must be like this.

“Pat, the warden of the dungeon. I came to play before the alchemy workshop opened…”

My head was pounding for a moment.

There was one more executive in the castle that I didn’t know about.

One of the facilities that was open from the beginning. The one who manages the dungeon.

Did I disappear as soon as I became the Demon King? Why? What are the benefits?

A lot of questions ran through my head, but the conclusion came quickly.

“I meant to betray you from the start.”

Opened the Demon King Castle management window.

[Seal the castle.]

-Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung

From now on, the search for the rats begins.
