Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-132

1 hour before Iona appeared in front of Gonova.

“Kyoo-”

Iona arrived at the entrance of the Gravity Wizard Tower.

“Huh?! It’s Tower Lord Iona!”

The tower’s guards spotted Iona and called the wizard elders, who rushed to welcome her.

“We thought you were dead!”

“Of course, the Tower Lord would not leave us!”

“What about Gonova?”

“That’s…”

“What?”

“He’s meeting with other tower lords in the Tower Lord’s room.”

“Other tower lords?”

“Yes. It seems like the tower lords of the Fire Wizard Tower, Destruction Wizard Tower, and Meteor Wizard Tower have supported and urged Gonova.”

“Kyoo-kyoo-is that so? Good. Everyone evacuate the tower within one hour.”

“What?!”

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- Don’t make me repeat myself! We are going to build a new tower on the 99th floor! Everyone, out!”

“Gasp! Yes! Everyone clear the tower! Just take what’s essential!”

The Gravity Wizard Tower will disappear today!

Witnessing Iona’s triple rage, the elder wizards quickly instructed the wizards to prepare to leave the tower.

And an hour later, when the tower was emptied, Iona appeared in front of Gonova.

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-”

“How.. how? Th…this can’t be happening…”

Gonova stammered as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“Ahem. The atmosphere is not good, so we’ll just get up and go.”

The three tower lords immediately panicked at Iona’s appearance.

However,

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- Where do you think you’re going?”

Iona would not allow them to escape.

“Gravity, heed my command, and amplify your strength! Gravity Control.”

Ruuuuumbleeeee.

Iona manipulated gravity, exerting ten times the force on the fleeing Tower Lords.

“Ugh! Tower Lord Gonova! What’s going on?!”

“Ee-yik! You incompetent fool! You said you handled it?!”

“Tower Lord Iona, we only found out later.”

The Tower Lords cried out, struggling under the tenfold gravity.

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-It doesn’t matter. I never liked any of you. I’ll deal with you all at once. Gravity’s power…”

These were the Tower Lords who always interfered with Iona’s business at the Wizards’ Association. Iona began preparing her magic, drawing up her energy.

‘We’re going to die!’

As Iona seriously started casting her spell, Gonova quickly tried to calm her down.

“T… Tower Lord Iona! As angry as you may be, this is the Gravity Wizard Tower! If you don’t intend to kill all the other wizards, stop!”

But

“It’s fine. There’s no one here but us. Black Hole!”

Iona had already decided to annihilate them along with the tower.

GoOOOo.

“No!!!”

A massive hole appeared, and the black hole began to suck in Gonova and the three Tower Lords.

And then,

Crack.

It began to engulf the gravity wizard tower.

“Nightmare, curse them too.”

-Hehehe. Sometimes you seem more like the Devil King than I do.

“Kyoo-quiet!”

-Fine. I’ll do as you wish.

A red mist entered the black hole and seeped into the bodies of the three Tower Lords. Dying with a curse isn’t the end. From then on, it’s the beginning of an endless nightmare.

Resist or surrender. And if they surrender, they become slaves to Nightmare, fighting forever suffering in agony without rest or death, all for Nightmare’s amusement.

And Iona’s revenge was just beginning. She planned to torture them over and over in nightmares, causing them agony once they died and became Nightmare’s slaves.

-But aren’t you sleeping too little these days?

Nightmare complained. Iona hadn’t entered the nightmare, so Nightmare naturally thought she was staying awake.

“Kyoot-Kyoot-Kyoot!”

Iona only laughed, watching the Gravity Wizard Tower disappear, without answering Nightmare’s question.

Sejun’s Farm on the 99th Floor of the Tower.

– Move it over here!

– Harvest the carrots now!

The black dragon statue and the white dragon statue were fervently leading the way, instructing Sejun’s farm members including rabbits, poisonous honey bees, mushroom ants, and Black Minotaurs.

However,

– No! This is where we need to send in the mushroom ants!

– What are you talking about?! We have to send the poisonous honey bees here!

A disagreement arose between Kaiser and Kellion, and they began to argue with each other about who was right. Since Sejun was not present, there was no one to stop their fight, and they bickered for quite some time.

Eventually, they came to a conclusion. It’s not possible for two leaders to coexist under one sky.

Let’s choose a leader!

The two dragons chose farming as a method to decide who would be the leader. They divided the fields and monsters and planted seeds to compete and see who could harvest more.

– How dare you challenge me, the great black dragon?

– Hmph! I will make you pay for challenging the great white dragon!

Thus, the competition began.

– This is boring. Let’s have a glass of wine, Kellion.

– Shall we?

Harvesting would take several months, and the farming was done by the monsters. There was nothing much for the dragons to do except watch the monsters working.

– Drink my wine, but you bring the side dishes.

– Understood.

Kellion flew to the storage and picked out sweet potatoes, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and the like.

And then

– Here’s 1000 Tower Coins

He gave the money to the rabbit guarding the entrance to the storage. If he asked the rabbit for something, it would gladly offer its crops to him, but Kellion wanted to set an example as a farm manager.

Pyeaak!

The rabbit, upon receiving the money, bowed to Kellion, expressing its gratitude.

Just as Kellion was about to fly off with the side dishes,

Pyeak, Pyeak!

A newly-born baby rabbit came out of Sejun’s house carrying something bigger than its body. It was a thin rectangular object made of a mysterious material.

– What is that?

Pyeak, Pyeak! (I don’t know! I found it!)

The baby rabbit responded to Kellion’s question.

– Let’s trade this for that.

Pyeak, Pyeak! (Yes!)

When Kellion handed over a carrot, the baby rabbit readily exchanged the item in its hand.

And then

Flap, flap.

Kellion began to drink wine with Kaiser, taking the snacks and the object he had received from the baby rabbit.

– Mmm, this mango wine is good.

– Indeed, it’s really delicious.

– But what’s that?

Kaiser, who had been drinking, became interested in the object Kellion had brought.

– I don’t know. I was going to look at it later.

– Let me see it for a moment.

Kaiser began to examine the object.

A moment later,,

– It’s a tool that works with brain attributes. Brainwave.

When Kaiser figured out the principle with a scanning spell and generated a weak electric current,

Woong.

The surface of the object lit up. It was Sejun’s smartphone.

– Hoho. It’s locked. Unlock.

Magic has logic and algorithms, similar to a smartphone’s program. Kaiser easily understood it and simply unlocked the pattern lock with magic and willpower.

Then, the background screen of Sejun’s unlocked smartphone displayed a picture of Serang, a member of the girl group Moonlight Fairy.

– Who’s this?

– What are you doing in front of delicious wine? Drink up.

– You’re right. Now’s not the time to look at this.

Not even knowing what he had just done, Kaiser happily drank the mango wine once again.

Administrator’s Area of the Black Tower.

“Sniffle. Sejun, when are you coming?”

Aileen was sad because she couldn’t see Sejun. The 99th floor farm of the tower without Sejun was not interesting at all.

“I’m bored… I miss Sejun. Eating, farming… too…”

But since she had nothing to do, she consoled herself by looking at the crystal orb…

Quiver, quiver.

Aileen, who was looking at the crystal orb, trembled with rage. It was because she saw a woman appearing as the smartphone wallpaper when Kaiser unlocked the lock screen.

And Aileen knew that Sejun was the owner of that smartphone. She was very upset.

“Kwooooa! Unforgivable! Park! Se! Jun-!”

Aileen roared, calling Sejun’s name.

***

Startled!

Sejun trembled as he opened his eyes in the morning.

“President Park, are you okay, meow?”

Pyeak?

Kreong?

The animals asked how he was.

“No. Ugh. What’s this? Why is it so cold?”

Sejun rubbed his body with his hands at the chilly feeling.

Kreong!

[Dad’s weak, that’s why!]

Cuengi grew to about 2 meters and wrapped Sejun with its body. Although it didn’t seem like that was the reason, Sejun didn’t resist, enjoying the soft and warm fur.

“Hehehe. It’s fluffy.”

Just as Sejun was about to fall back asleep in peace,

Growl!

“Master Sejun has woken up!”

Ook!

The black minotaur, wolves, and monkeys that had been waiting for Sejun to wake up approached.

“Why? Do you have something to say?”

“Master Sejun! We want to go treasure hunting too!”

Elka spoke as their representative.

“What?! Treasure hunting?”

Sejun was taken aback. Treasure hunting? While he was unconscious, Cuengi had bragged about winning the treasure hunt, which prompted the other animals to want to try it as well.

Especially the wolves, who were canine animals, were particularly keen. Finding things was their specialty, after all.

And suddenly, a treasure hunt contest was held.

“Now. You have to find silver ingots with these numbers on them.”

Sejun showed a silver ingot with his name and the number 100 engraved on it. The other silver ingots with numbers from 1 to 99 had been scattered around by the golden bat beforehand.

“The time is until lunch! Ready. Start!”

Sejun threw the ingot as hard as he could, declaring the start of the treasure hunt.

Growl!

“Yes!”

Ook!

The animals hurriedly scattered to find the treasure.

Pyeak!

Black Rabbit also followed the other animals, determined to come in first today.

And as the surroundings quieted down,

[You have used a Low Grade Skill Stone.]

[The proficiency of Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 4 increases by 10.]

Sejun used the Skill Stone, which he had not been able to use yesterday when he fainted, to raise his skill proficiency.

Originally, he wanted to raise the proficiency of the seed shop skill to increase the level and the variety and amount of purchasable seeds, but he could not use the Skill Stone on that skill.

Thus, he used all 45 Skill Stones found by Theo, black rabbit, and Cuengi yesterday to raise the proficiency by 740, but sadly, the level did not increase.

Then,

Pip-pip.

The singing of the golden bat, which had started working early, was heard from afar.

“I should get to work too.”

Sejun began to heal the banana tree.

[The Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 4 is activated.]

[The banana tree’s disease is slowly healed by your touch.]

“But Representative Theo!”

“Do they sell land deeds in the shopping district too?”

“Meow? I’ve never seen them, meow! I’ll find out next time, meow!”

It was natural that Theo didn’t know. The land deeds were unaffordable to ordinary wandering merchants due to their exorbitant price, and only the top-ranked wandering merchants could trade them.

“If you see other land deeds, buy them for me. Especially if you see the land deed for the 1st floor of the tower, be sure to buy it.”

If he had the 1st floor land deed, he could go to the 1st floor of the tower.

“Got it, meow. But does President Park want to leave the tower, meow?”

Theo looked at Sejun with sad eyes. as if asking, ‘Are you going to abandon us?’

“Huh?!”

Sejun was startled by Theo’s words.

Kreong!

[Take Cuengi with you, Dad!]

Hearing Theo’s words, Cuengi clung to Sejun’s leg.

“Don’t worry. We’re one, remember? I won’t leave without you guys.”

Although he vaguely wanted to leave the tower, he didn’t mean he was leaving. He had a home to return to here, and other family members too.

“Great! Shall we shout our motto after a long time? We are one!”

“We are one, meow!”

Kreong!

[We are one!]

On the 287th day of being stranded, Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi shouted their motto after a long time.
