110. Episode 110
As soon as Hanareum arrived at the residence, construction work began quickly.
Perhaps because it was a job to build a home where there was no need to worry about moving, people also helped the twin sisters with great energy.
Even though you must be tired after completing the trials on the 5th floor.
“No one was eliminated. That’s surprising.”
“I shared some strategies through clan chat in the middle.”
“hmm…….”
“… …Wasn’t it supposed to be like that?”
Yoo Seo-ah is flustered, wondering if she made a mistake without realizing it due to Se-woon’s ambiguous reaction.
There was a reason why Seun didn’t tell people how to conquer the 5th floor.
The trials on the 5th floor may seem difficult, but there are numerous strategies to overcome them, which can definitely increase the player’s composure and fighting prowess.
So, I hoped that at least there, I could pass the ordeal by my own judgment.
Just like in the tutorial, Seun wanted his clan members to grow stronger.
“But less than half of the people who have seen my strategy have already found their own way and are trying to challenge it.”
“Well, I guess it’s okay.”
Although Se-Woon is the clan leader, the one who actually leads the people is Yoo Seo-Ah.
I couldn’t even say anything about that sense of responsibility.
Because she just found what she had to do in her position.
Around the time when the residence was being built, the figure of Gochangseok struggling alone in the distance was seen.
Se-Woon became interested because it didn’t seem like an ordinary building, so he approached it.
“Sir, is this by any chance… … .”
“Oh, it’s you. Hehe, you’ve found a place to live. I want to build a proper blacksmith shop.”
Most of the basic tools needed for a blacksmith’s shop, including a chisel, anvil, and various extensions, as well as a furnace, were prepared.
This much detail in such a short time.
It seemed that he had thought about the structure of the blacksmith’s shop long before he arrived at his residence.
Probably, the design was based on the blacksmith shop in the shelter.
Even at a glance, it seemed to have many similarities to that place.
“It looks like it was built well, is there a problem?”
“That’s what I mean… … .”
Go Chang-seok looked at the brazier with a troubled expression.
The size of the furnace was considerable, as it had to be used to heat not only weapons but also thick armor.
However, it was evident that great care had been taken to ensure that as much heat as possible was kept from escaping.
With that gaze, Se-un could immediately see what was lacking in this forge.
“… … The fire is the problem.”
“That’s right. It doesn’t look like there’s any wood here to use for firewood, and it’s a shame to buy firewood with public funds.”
“It’s such a waste to use public funds like that.”
“Even if I see a tree in the next trial, there’s a limit to how much I can carry. I wish I could use that magic too. Hehe.”
“Even if you can use magic, it wouldn’t be suitable for a furnace. Magic also requires firewood called mana.”
“Ahem, I see.”
Because of these problems, it was very difficult to install a blacksmith shop in a clan-only residence.
If there is a way, it would be to procure a large amount of firewood from the shelters that exist every 10 floors.
For this reason, only relatively large guilds have dedicated blacksmith shops.
However, the sight of Go Chang-seok, who seemed reluctant to leave it alone, weighed on my mind.
‘There must be a way… … .’
Se-un rolled his head.
There is also a method of using mana stones, but this also requires continuous supply of mana.
Among Mammon’s treasures, there was something like black lotus powder, but that too only created flames momentarily and was not suitable for the sustained flames needed for a blacksmith shop.
Meanwhile.
‘Oh, there was that.’
Hurrah!
Seun created a spark inside the brazier.
The first magic you learn is ‘Kasha’s Spark’.
Although its firepower was weak, it had the advantage of not being easily extinguished as it was imbued with the power of the spirit.
That doesn’t mean it never turns off, but there are limitations after all…
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ The Prophet’s Spark ]
– The fire of heaven that Prometheus stole for mankind. It is imbued with the power of the gods and never goes out.
This makes a difference.
The power of the gods was infused into the embers of Kasha, which were as shabby as a match, and they grew in size while emitting a soft golden light.
“Hmm, thanks, but didn’t you say that earlier? If you don’t have mana, you can’t maintain it for long even with magic.”
“This will be different.”
“… … Really?”
To be honest, it was half a gamble. This power could also disappear like the power of the Noble Phantasm embedded in the weapon.
But it was better than not trying at all.
That moment.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, takes out the ‘Prophet’s Flame’ from its storage, saying that it will show special favor to you.
Hurrruk!
With Mammon’s message, the fire before my eyes burned even more fiercely.
The inside of the forge quickly became hot thanks to the flames that had grown so hot that they could no longer be called embers.
‘If it’s this… … .’
The power of greed held by Seun in the spark of Kasha, and even Mamon’s treasure that is said to be a replica but has power close to the real thing.
At this level, it seemed that the power of the fire of God that would never go out could continue to be exerted.
“You don’t need firewood, and if you just knead the fire well, you can easily control the heat.”
“Oh! Thank you so much! You really are so talented!”
-The constellation, ‘The Soldier in the Golden Crown’ bows deeply to the drinker.
– The constellation, ‘The Soldier in the Golden Crown’, expresses his gratitude, saying that this favor will be seen as an excellent result.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, passes the credit to you, saying he was only there to pick up the spoon.
Mamon is not someone who would normally let something go like that, but it seems he still feels the aftereffects of getting punched by Kepler.
“I really want to try this right now! I need to make something with it right now!”
Thanks to the hot burning stove, a warm atmosphere began to spread through the previously chilly residence.
* * *
The residence was completed earlier than expected.
This was due to the twin sisters’ outstanding construction skills and the clan members’ outstanding passion.
In particular, the bathhouse that the twin sisters created while saying, “This is it!” was so impressive that even Se-un was impressed.
It was made by connecting the blacksmith’s furnace and the water line, and thanks to it, I was able to enjoy a hot bath, something I never thought I would be able to do in the tower.
BANG!!
“……lost.”
“Your movements have gotten a lot faster? It seems like you’ve gotten quite used to the Taeeul Island movement.”
“I purposely climbed up to the 5th floor of the ordeal using only Taeeul Island’s waterworks.”
“But that’s still the limit for one-second use? If you want to say you’re used to it, you should be able to use it at least three times.”
“I know. I’ll definitely master this technique by the next sparring match.”
Kang Han-cheol, who had finished sparring with Se-un, answered while lightly shaking his fist.
Even though Seun was able to learn it in an instant thanks to the power of greed, Kang Hancheol was different.
I didn’t receive any separate instruction, and I just learned it through seeing and feeling it with my body during sparring sessions, but with just that, I was able to perfectly master the first technique.
Amazing growth rate.
It was an ability to learn like a sponge absorbing water.
As I could see him growing with each practice, I could feel the fun in raising him.
“Yuseo-ah, I heard your movements have improved a lot too?”
“I realized something as I was climbing the stairs. Oh, and… … .”
“and?”
“I think I know a little bit about my potential.”
The potential of Yushua, domination.
It was an extremely rare potential among the numerous potentials that existed in the tower, and it was a potential that exerted a vast variety of powers depending on how one understood it.
Looking at her expression, it seemed like she had figured out her own way of using it.
I thought it was a good thing that they didn’t teach me the standard usage method. If they had, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out my own way of using it like I am now.
‘More than that, I can’t see this guy again.’
Se-woon, who was looking for Park Jeong-pil, sighed.
That’s because I remember Hanareum running towards me and throwing a tantrum as soon as I arrived at my residence.
Park Jeong-pil came and strongly denied it, but Se-woon knew Se-woon’s personality better than anyone else, so he was able to figure out the situation right away.
So I was thinking of teaching you at least the bare minimum of combat techniques. Where on earth did he hide? I couldn’t even sense any signs of life.
“And there’s talk going around among people that they can live here completely.”
“Of course, residency… … . Oh, that’s what you mean.”
Se-woon, who was about to say that this was his private residence, realized what Yoo Seo-ah meant.
Even if they don’t show it, everyone is probably having a hard time fighting monsters or living an unsettled life.
So, what you’re saying is, why don’t we just live here and not challenge ourselves with any more trials?
‘I’ve wanted to do that too.’
Honestly, the current Diablo Clan is one of the clans that got off to a better start than any other clan.
If it weren’t for Seun, more than half of the clan would have lost their lives. The remaining people would have become close to being useless.
Se-Woon, who had lived a hellish life before returning, knew this better than anyone else.
However, Seun knew.
If you don’t climb the tower, you will eventually die.
“As you can see, there is nothing here. At best, there is only dirt and water. Just two things.”
“The idea of growing plants or raising animals… … .”
“This land is dead land. Even if you try to grow plants, they won’t grow, and of course, since there’s no food, it’s impossible to raise animals.”
There have been cases where players who have awakened as Tamers have brought animals or monsters to their clan-only residences. However, it is impossible to raise livestock.
Even if you raise them, you still have to buy food, which is no different from buying food from outside.
“You can buy food with your public service points, but what happens if you run out of public service points? In the end, you have no choice but to challenge the trials.”
“… … I guess so.”
“Besides, by then you’ll have lost all sense of combat. As you’ve experienced, if you climb the tower with a half-hearted attitude, the only thing that will lead you to death.”
It was an answer that Se-woon could give because he had thought about what Yoo Seo-ah had said longer and more seriously than anyone else.
Top doesn’t want players to stagnate.
For players who stand still, death is all that awaits them.
‘and…….’
There’s still quite a bit of time left, but as time goes by, the outers will appear again.
If we don’t change the future, the destruction of the tower that Seun experienced will happen again.
Of course, I couldn’t tell people about this.
“I knew it in my head, but now that I’ve actually seen it, I think I’ve become a little weak-hearted.”
“I understand. So I plan to get plenty of rest before going up to the next floor.”
“Seun-ssi is really amazing. When I see you like this, it feels like you came from the future.”
“… … .”
Se-Woon didn’t necessarily deny it.
Actually, this is something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I wonder if it would be okay to reveal the truth about the regression to her…
If she understands, it will be easier to plan ahead and lead the clan.
And in fact.
“The sky is so clear, isn’t it?”
I also needed a companion who could shoulder the great mission of preventing the tower’s destruction, because it would have been too difficult to carry that burden alone.
Although he always pretended to be strong and walked a path full of thorns, Se-Woon was still a human being.
