Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-396

Black Tower, 70th floor.

“The phoenix will wait here. Hehehe. Then, let’s go rob the treasure vault, shall we? Guys, let’s go!”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Let’s sweep it all up, meow!”

Sejun and his party entered the castle in search of the treasure vault of the Lizard Kingdom.

The interior of the castle was wide, with many paths branching off in a complex manner, but

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, over there, meow! My front paw is being pulled, meow!”

Theo, clinging to Sejun’s knee, raised his front paw to lead Sejun to the treasure vault.

“Hehehe. This is really exciting.”

Sejun, who had never robbed someone else’s treasure vault before, spoke in an excited voice.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, just trust me, meow!”

Theo, the professional treasure vault thief, said with a haughty voice, puffing up with pride.

“Alright. I’ll trust only you, Vice Chairman Theo.”

Sejun said as he patted Theo’s head.

Usually, Sejun would find Theo’s arrogant attitude annoying, but today, Theo’s presence was very reassuring.

A short while later.

“Is it here?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! It’s here, meow!”

Following Theo’s golden front paw navigation, Sejun and his party arrived in front of a gigantic door.

As the party hurried to open the door and enter the treasure vault,

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Wait a moment! There are spells here!”

Iona stopped the party. The treasure vault was protected by multiple layers of security spells to prevent intruders.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot…”

Iona analyzed the patterns of the spells cast on the treasure vault.

“Cancel.”

With a single spell, Iona nullified all the security spells on the treasure vault. Truly, a great wizard was on a different level.

Kueng!

Cuengi used his strength to open the now unsealed treasure vault door.

Kugung.

The door opened with a heavy sound. Inside, jewels and gold were piled up to a height of about 5 meters.

“Puhuhut. Gather everything from here to here, meow!”

Theo drew a line in the center of the treasure vault floor to indicate to the party how much treasure they should take.

While the party was busy gathering the treasures,

Tak. Tak. Tak.

Sejun started tapping the walls and floor of the treasure vault.

“Meow? Chairman Park, what are you doing, meow?”

“Hoho. Just wait. In places like these, there are often hidden spaces…”

Sejun said in an excited voice. He had seen it many times in movies.

Well… it didn’t matter if he couldn’t find anything. He was doing it for fun.

“Meow?! Really, meow?! Chairman Park, can you find a hidden space, meow?!”

Theo, who was clinging to Sejun’s leg, looked up at Sejun with eyes full of admiration. As expected, Chairman Park is amazing, meow!

Finding treasure with his golden front paw was a greater ability, but to Theo, a Sejun zealot, everything Sejun did seemed amazing.

“Of course.”

He must definitely find it!

Sejun’s eyes turned serious at Theo’s gaze. What had started as fun now had to be done to maintain his authority.

As Sejun diligently tapped the walls,

Thunk.

“Huh?”

This sound here is different.

The sound from the wall in the right corner of the treasure vault was light and hollow compared to other places. Fortunately, there was indeed a hidden space.

“Vice Chairman Theo, your claws, please.”

“Got it, meow!”

Scratch.

As Theo extended his claws, Sejun grabbed Theo’s front paw and started cutting the wall in a circular shape with a serious expression.

After cutting the bottom,

Thud.

Sejun pushed the cut wall with his foot.

Kunk.

The wall fell and,

“Oh! There it is.”

A hidden passage appeared.

“Cuengi.”

Kueng?

[Did you call me, Dad?]

Cuengi, who was packing treasures into Sejun’s void storage, ran over at Sejun’s call.

“Yeah. Let’s explore in there with dad.”

Sejun pointed to the passage beyond the wall.

Kueng!

[Cuengi loves exploring, dad!]

Cuengi quickly took his position in front of Sejun.

“Then let’s go.”

With Theo, Cuengi, and Iona leading, Sejun entered the passage.

Unlike the treasure vault, the passage was dark due to the lack of lighting.

“Light.”

But with Iona’s magic, it wasn’t inconvenient.

As they moved along the passage, they arrived at a room made of golden walls.

“What is this?”

As Sejun looked at the Lizardman statue with a red gem embedded in its forehead, standing in the middle of the room,

‘Fate has not yet decreed my death, it seems.’

The entity within the red gem also looked at Sejun.

The Lizardman’s race god, Kelly.

Kelly had been enshrined here since the founding of the Lizard Kingdom.

However, ever since being sealed, he had been waiting for his death, but Sejun and his party had arrived.

Kelly quickly searched the surroundings for a suitable body to inhabit.

‘Hmm. Though his strength is the weakest, that one is their leader. I must choose him.’

Kelly chose Sejun as the body to inhabit. Although his strength was weak, it was evident that everyone in the party relied on Sejun.

As Kelly prepared to transfer into Sejun’s body,

Wong.

The red gem began to glow.

“Chairman Park, it’s dangerous, meow! Step back, meow!”

Theo, who had experienced this before, shouted to Sejun and lunged at the Lizardman statue, grabbing the red gem.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Take me to the super-giant Chairman Park, meow…”

Theo lost consciousness.

“Vice Chairman Theo!”

Sejun hurriedly laid Theo on his lap and checked his condition.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Big Brother fainted too! Everyone is so weak!]

As Theo collapsed right after Sejun in one day, Cuengi cried while massaging Theo’s body.

However, contrary to their worries, Theo’s lips curled up into a smile.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. It seems he’s having a good dream.”

Only Iona, who had experienced this before, smiled as she watched Theo dreaming.

A little later,

[You have destroyed the race god of the Lizardman, Kelly.]

[Due to the effect of <Title: Godslayer>, you absorb a portion of the power of the deceased race god of the Lizardman, Kelly.]

[All stats increase by 20.]

[Mental Strength increases by 100.]

Along with the message that he had destroyed a god, Sejun’s stats increased.

Thanks to this, Sejun understood how he had obtained the title of Godslayer.

It’s because of Theo.

Sejun didn’t understand why Theo’s killings were credited to him.

But he just accepted it.

Many incomprehensible things happen when Theo is involved.

“But I didn’t know Godslayer had such an effect.”

As Sejun laughed while experiencing the effect of <Title: Godslayer> for the first time,

“Puhuhut. As expected, real Chairman Park’s lap is the best, meow!”

Theo, who had woken up, enthusiastically rubbed his body against Sejun’s lap.

Once Theo was awake,

“Hehehe. Guys, take this too.”

“Puhuhut. As expected of Chairman Park, meow! I didn’t think of taking the wall, meow!”

Theo, who had learned a thing or two from Sejun, marveled as he dismantled the golden wall of the room where Kelly had been. They took only half the wall, as per the agreement.

Successfully looting the hidden location, the four of them,

“Hehehe.”

“Puhuhut.”

Kuehehehe.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot.”

returned to the treasure vault and started packing up the remaining treasures.

***

The Red Dragon’s Territory.

“Puhaha. Everyone looks like they’re having fun.”

Ramter, the great leader of the Red Dragons, looked around and spoke.

The dragons had finished eating the soup, garaetteoks, and fruits Sejun had prepared, and were now drinking alcohol with spicy fish stew as a side dish.

Drinking alcohol with the spicy fish stew made the drinks go down smoothly.

Thus, the second dragon meeting was a success, but the other leaders felt immense pressure.

Because when they host the next dragon meeting, they would have to do at least this much.

However, there were two leaders who did not feel any pressure.

One was Artemis Yul, the leader of the great Golden Dragons, who had already hosted a dragon meeting.

The other was Kaiser Pritani, the great leader of the Black Dragons, who would host the third dragon meeting.

Even though the third dragon meeting would be held in the Black Tower, which should add pressure, Kaiser was not worried.

Rather, he was eagerly waiting for the 30 days to pass so that the third dragon meeting could start.

‘Kheuheuheu. Since there’s enough time left, I should ask our Sejun to make the next dragon meeting even grander.’

Kaiser’s mind was filled with thoughts of hosting a more magnificent dragon meeting than Ramter’s.

“Kheuheuheu. The alcohol tastes good.”

“Hey, take it easy. You’re next after me.”

Seeing Kaiser’s triumphant expression, as if he had already won, made Kellion uneasy.

“Puhahaha. Now, let’s all toast to the prosperity of the great dragon race! To the great dragons!”

“To the great dragons!”

As the dragons continued drinking,

“Guys, let’s go see Aileen. She must be lonely by herself.”

“Yeah, let’s go! We can also get some delicious food!”

“Sure!, I, as Aileen’s older oppa Garrick should go and play with her!”

“Ah! Me too! Sylvia, her unnie, will play with Aileen too!”

The hatchlings, worried about the youngest Aileen being alone, decided to go to the Black Tower to play with her.

When all six hatchlings agreed to go to the Black Tower,

“Mom, we want to go to the Black Tower!”

“Mom, we want to go to the Black Tower to play with Aileen!”

“Dad! Sylvia wants to go to the Black Tower!”

The hatchlings went to where their parents were gathered and firmly expressed their intention. If they didn’t get permission, they were ready to cry right away! We’ll really cry!

The parents, who wanted to continue their fun, sighed and carried the hatchlings, flying to the Black Tower.

***

“Ah. It’s already full.”

Sejun said, looking at his Void Storage, which was packed with treasures.

“Then, let’s put the rest in Vice Chairman Theo’s bag.”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”

While the group was packing the remaining treasures into Theo’s bundle,

Kking…

Fenrir woke up.

“Blackie, you’re awake? Are you hungry?”

Sejun placed Fenrir’s food bowl on one side of the treasure vault, filled it with milk, and added three pieces of dried sweet potato.

Since Fenrir had missed his meal while sleeping, Sejun gave him three pieces.

Kkihit. Kking!

‘Heheh. As expected, a butler who knows gratitude!’

Fenrir thought that Sejun knew he had saved him.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

While Fenrir was busily eating,

“Heave-ho!”

Sejun continued to move the treasures.

At that moment,

Piyo!

[Sejun-nim, I found it!]

Piyot, who had been gathering treasures, flew to Sejun with a document in his beak. It was a Land Deed for the 68th floor of the Tower.

“Piyot, good job. Here, take this.”

Sejun patted Piyot’s head and handed him a pouch filled with peanuts.

Piyo!

[Thank you!]

Puhuhut.

Piyot packed the peanut pouch and smiled brightly.

A little while later,

“Let’s go.”

Sejun and his party, who had gathered half of the treasure in the vault, stepped outside.

As they were exiting,

Kkokki!

They heard the cry of the Phoenix from outside.

“What is it? Let’s hurry out. Cuengi!”

Kueng!

[Got it!]

Cuengi used his telekinesis to quickly move Sejun and the flightless Uren outside.

Theo clung to Sejun’s knee, and Iona hung onto Theo’s tail, moving with Sejun.

When they got outside,

“Catch it!”

“Don’t overdo it, just bind its wings first!”

Thousands of Skeleton Mages were hunting the Phoenix.

“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Power of gravity. Crush the enemies at my command. Gravity Control.”

Furious that they had targeted Theo’s belonging, Iona became enraged and used gravity magic, and

Crack.

The skeletons, crushed under five times the normal gravity, shattered instantly.

As the skeletons shattered like that,

‘Puhuhut. How dare you target Vice Chairman Theo’s slave, meow! They’re all getting stamped, meow!’

Theo, Cuengi, Piyot, and Uren collected the thumb bones of the skeletons and got their stamps on the contracts.

“You bastard! What are you doing?! Our comrades will avenge us!”

A skeleton with only its skull intact, trying to intimidate the enemy, shouted.

“Meow?! There are more comrades, meow?”

For Theo, this was very welcome news.

“Where are your comrades, meow?”

“That… is…”

“Hurry up and tell me, meow!”

Slave King Theo persistently inquired about the location of the next potential slaves.
