Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-296

Plod. Plod.

[Flamie~nim, someone is heading towards Sejun~nim’s house! It’s a thief!]

When Podori reported the thief infiltrating Sejun’s farm,

[How dare they enter the master’s farm?!]

Flamie was furious.

However,

[Huh?! Aren’t you going to catch the thief?]

[Let’s just watch for now.]

No action was taken.

‘This is a chance to see if Blackie, who has been emitting a bad vibe since Theo brought him, is trustworthy.’

Flamie couldn’t trust Blackie.

So, Flamie decided to test whether Blackie could continue to stay by Sejun’s side.

[Blackie, what will you do?]

Flamie watched Fenrir.

***

Kking… Kking…?!

[You bastards… What did I do so wrong…?!]

Fenrir, who had been hit on the butt with a mushroom ant’s antennae, gritted his teeth in humiliation and sat in front of Sejun’s house. Very quietly.

Because if he wandered around carelessly, he might get beaten up by the mushroom ants again.

But then,

Kking! Kking!

[I am Fenrir, the god devouring wolf, first seat among the Apostle of Destruction! Bring it on!]

Fenrir quickly regained his confidence and

Thud! Thud!

started exploring the farm again with vigorous steps.

As Fenrir was diligently moving around the farmland,

Plod. Plod.

Something approached with cautious steps.

It was not visible, but it felt close.

Kking?! Kking!

[How dare you enter my territory without fear?! Back off!]

Fenrir barked loudly towards the direction of the intruder.

Suddenly, the thief revealed himself from thin air.

“What the?! What is this dog?! There must be something over there?”

Thump!

Kick!

The thief kicked Fenrir away and tried to enter Sejun’s house.

But,

Kking! Kking!

[That’s the house of the guy who gives me tasty things! And I am… the Apostle of Destruction, Fenrir!]

Grr.

Fenrir, wanting to repay the kindness he received, bit the thief’s foot with all his might. He wouldn’t let him go!

“Ugh! This damn dog! I’m already so annoyed!”

The thief, feeling a bit of pain from Fenrir’s bite, grimaced in irritation.

Thief Kamel stole an invitation to enter the 99th floor of the tower.

He came to the 99th floor aiming for a windfall, but there was nothing to steal here except for crops.

So, he was in a bad mood…

And now a dog was provoking him, pushing Kamel to the limit of his patience.

“Die!”

Swoosh.

Kamel drew his sword and swung it at Fenrir without hesitation.

Kking!

[I can dodge such an attack easily!]

Fenrir tried to lightly dodge the sword.

The trajectory of the sword was so clearly visible that even if he wanted to get hit, he couldn’t…

Kking? Kking…

[I thought I could dodge… but I can’t…]

The sword was getting closer, but his body was still in the same place.

Kking…

[Ah… I’ve become weak…]

Despite the attack being visibly clumsy, he couldn’t dodge it because his body’s capabilities didn’t follow.

Kkiing… Kkiing…

[To die here so futilely… It’s regrettable. I wanted to eat that yellow and chewy thing one more time…]

Fenrir regretted not being able to eat more of the dried sweet potato as the sword approached him closely.

Then,

Kueng!

[Don’t touch Blackie!]

Bang!

Cuengi used his telekinesis to headbutt the thief, sending him flying.

Kamel was crushed by the overwhelming physical force, leaving no trace behind.

“Blackie, are you okay?”

Sejun, who came running late, checked Fenrir’s body to see if he was hurt.

Kking? Kking! Kking

[Where did you go? I almost died! They beat me up because you weren’t here!]

Fenrir, seeing Sejun, burst into tears of sorrow and whined.

And then,

‘You may not have abilities, but you have loyalty(?). Blackie, you pass. Let’s work together from now on.’

Flamie, sitting on Sejun’s shoulder, looked at Fenrir with satisfaction.

While dealing with the thief who had infiltrated Sejun’s house and rescuing Fenrir,

“Meow? Why is Uren here, meow?”

Theo, who was staying behind to receive a slave contract, asked Uren, standing in front of him, remembering that Uren had bought an invitation.

“Hahaha. Well… someone stole it.”

The owner who got his invitation stolen was Uren. As always, Uren was very unfortunate.

“You’re an idiot for losing that, meow!”

“Hahaha. I know.”

“Good, meow! I’ll make an exception for Uren, meow!”

Seeing the unfortunate Uren, Theo decided to show some mercy.

“Ah. Thank you!”

As Uren was about to leave upon Theo’s word,

“Where are you going, meow?!”

Theo caught Uren.

“Eh?! You just said you’d make an exception?”

“Puhuhut. For Uren, it’s half a year as a slave, meow! Stamp your print, meow!”

“Ah… Thank you.”

Press.

Uren stamped his print on the contract Theo offered.

***

“What to do?”

Sejun was lost in thought, seeing the crowd bustling in the tower.

But since they were guests who came to his party, he decided to enjoy the party together.

“So, what should the menu be?”

While Sejun was pondering the menu,

Kueng! Kueng!

[Stay still! Blackie, sit!]

Cuengi was training Fenrir with a piece of dried sweet potato.

Kking! Kking!

‘Hey stupid bear, give me my food! That’s mine!’

Of course, the dignified wolf Fenrir did not listen to Cuengi.

It was fortunate that Cuengi did not understand Fenrir’s words.

Then,

“Cuengi, you shouldn’t do that.”

Sejun, who was thinking about the menu, saw what Cuengi was doing and said. Hehe. I know a bit because I’ve seen it on YouTube.

“Blackie.”

When Sejun called Fenrir,

Kking? Kking!

‘Ah. Why are you calling me? Just give me the food!’

Fenrir, who had unknowingly recognized his name, turned his head at Sejun’s call and got annoyed.

“Blackie, sit. down.”

As Sejun held a piece of dried sweet potato over Fenrir’s head,

Kking! Kking!

‘I’m hungry! Give it to me quickly!’

Fenrir lifted his head to see the dried sweet potato, and

Click.

As his head went up, his buttocks naturally touched the ground.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Wagging his tail vigorously and scratching the ground was a bonus.

“Blackie, good boy. Here.”

When Sejun praised Fenrir and gave him the dried sweet potato,

Kking!

‘It’s food!’

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Fenrir eagerly ate the dried sweet potato from Sejun’s hand.

And,

Thump. Thump.

Kking! Kking?! Kking!

‘I’ve finished eating! Do you think I’ll be full with this? Give me another!’

Fenrir, who had quickly eaten a piece of dried sweet potato, hit Sejun’s foot with his front paw, calling Sejun.

“Blackie, sit.”

Sejun trained Fenrir to sit again.

Kking! Kking!

‘Ah! Annoying!’

Following Sejun’s command, Fenrir sat down again with his buttocks.

“Oh! I must be a genius! I trained it to sit in just two tries!”

Sejun, who had only seen sitting training a few times on YouTube.

Realizing that Fenrir had successfully sat down with his training, he thought, ‘Was this my true calling?’

‘Come to think of it, there are many animals around me.’

To some extent, it was true, but not this time. It was just that Fenrir was smart.

“Blackie, sit.”

Kking. Kking.

‘Just give it to me. I’ll do it because it’s you.’

Fenrir had perfectly mastered ‘sit’.

Kueng!

[Fenrir, sit!]

Kking!

‘Don’t make me laugh!’

Fenrir didn’t even pretend to listen to Cuengi’s words.

Kueng!

[Blackie, if you don’t listen to big brother, you’ll get in trouble!]

When Cuengi tried to scold Fenrir with a stern face,

Thud. Thud.

Fenrir hurriedly climbed onto Sejun’s left foot,

Kking. Kking.

‘Hey. That guy is bothering me. Scold him.’

Fenrir whined for protection while scratching Sejun’s leg.

Fenrir recognized Sejun as his protector.

***

Purple Tower, 53rd Floor.

Stagger.

Veronica, who had gone to the 99th floor of the tower at the summons of Tier Peten, the leader of the Purple Dragons, walked towards the farm with a precarious gait.

Then,

“Cough. Cough.”

Veronica coughed and vomited a tremendous amount of purple blood.

The ground soaked with purple blood.

Sizzle.

Even the land, already containing considerable poison, began to dissolve, unable to withstand the extreme poison in Veronica’s blood.

Swoosh.

“Phew. I’ll need to recuperate for a few days.”

Feeling a bit better after vomiting blood, Veronica started walking towards the farm again with unsteady steps.

A few hours earlier.

“Flamie~nim, Lord Tier has summoned me, so I will be back shortly.”

[Okay.]

Veronica was summoned by Tier Peten.

Tier had called Veronica to check if she had found any crops effective for dragons.

Fortunately, with Flamie’s help, Veronica had found a few crops and

“Here they are.”

confidently presented the crops to Tier.

However,

– Are you ignoring my words?! Bring me crops that are effective for dragons, not this tasteless garbage!

Tier, having tasted the crops, was furious with Veronica.

The crops Veronica brought had no effect on dragons and were also tasteless.

Roar.

Angered, Tier’s energy surged, and the poison contained in his aura spread around, poisoning Veronica.

Veronica arrived at the farm on the 53rd floor in a poisoned state.

“Flamie~nim, I’m back… I need to rest…”

Thump.

As soon as she reached the farm, Veronica leaned against Flamie’s roots and lost consciousness.

[Veronica, are you okay?]

Flamie called out to Veronica, but

“……”

Veronica was already unconscious.

[Oh?! Veronica, you’ve been poisoned? Don’t worry. I’ll detoxify you! Yay!]

After examining Veronica’s body, Flamie detoxified the poison accumulated in her body with the flames of purification.

However,

[Huh?! Why is the skin color changing?]

The purification power was too strong, and Veronica’s dark skin turned stark white.

The toxins that Veronica had painstakingly balanced through the principle of mithridatism to build up her poison resistance were cleanly detoxified.

A few moment laters,

“Ugh! Why?!”

Regaining consciousness, Veronica was distressed that the poison, which should have been comfortably breathable, was now uncomfortable.

And,

“Kyaa! The dark elf’s resistance has disappeared!”

Realizing her poison resistance had vanished, Veronica screamed.

“Flamie~nim, why has my body become like this?!”

[…I don’t know.]

Flamie feigned ignorance.

“Flamie~nim, what should I do?”

Veronica, now unable to live in the Purple Tower, asked Flamie for help.

She was enduring the poison with magic, but there was a limit.

[Don’t worry. I have a good idea.]

“What is it?”

[Go to the Black Tower.]

“The Black Tower? Is it okay for me to go?”

[Of course. Sejun will help Veronica. Take this with you while you’re at it.]

Flamie handed Veronica the land deed of the Purple Tower she had.

Although things got a bit tangled, Flamie was able to give Sejun a gift thanks to this situation.

[You must never talk about me.]

Flamie also made sure to caution her not to reveal any secrets about herself.

“Yes! I’ll go right away!”

Swish.

Veronica hurriedly unfolded the land deed of the Black Tower’s 99th-floor farm she had with her.

***

“Raise the ground.”

As Sejun tapped the ground with Myler’s hoe,

Boom.

A giant fire pit was created in the front yard.

With as many as a million participants in the party, a giant fire pit was necessary since the scale could not be handled in a regular kitchen.

“Cuengi.”

Kueng!

[Got it!]

Thump. Thump.

Following Sejun’s command, Enlarged Cuengi placed a super-sized pot on the fire pit. It was a crab shell pot.

“Kaiser~nim, could you please fill it with water?”

-Understood.

At Sejun’s request, Kaiser flew over and filled it with water, and

Snap.

Sejun lit the fire in the pit with a flick of his fingers.

Whoosh.

As they waited for the water to boil,

[The rightful owner holding the land deed of the Black Tower’s 99th floor farm has appeared.]

[If you do not wish to lose the farm you’ve worked hard for, defeat your opponent.]

A message appeared.

“What?! A rightful owner?! Of course, I’ll defeat them!”

As Sejun looked around to find the target to suppress,

“Uh?!”

He saw a being with a height of 3 meters, stark white skin, and a muscular body. It was Veronica.

Ssssss

A tremendous feeling of intimidation came from Veronica.

‘She’s strong?’

Just as Sejun was about to hurriedly call Cuengi,

Click.

“It is an honor to meet you, Lord Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower! I am Veronica, the Tower Farmer from the Purple Tower!”

Veronica knelt and paid her respects towards the Enlarged Cuengi, shouting out her introduction.

Kueng?

‘Hey stupid! this way!’

Flap. Flap.

Flamie hurriedly shook her leaves from Sejun’s shoulder.

However,

Droop.

Sejun’s heart was already broken.
