Chapter 293 Shin

Yoo-seong Sumire Kim Eun-ah.

Starting from the 11th floor with 3 people, it took a total of 20 hours to reach the 19th floor. It was yesterday when Kim Eun-ah was excited, saying, “Isn’t it possible to finish the attack in one day?”

“I stayed up all day...”

Exhausted Kim Eun-ah sat on a runner on the ridge and looked around with a haggard face.

“I’d rather catch the boss... did this really exist?”

[Quest: Gather the Phantasmal Plant Mandragora from the Ridge of Scream.]

A Phantasmal Species.

Attaching this word to an object that actually existed had two meanings.

The first is that whether it is an elixir or a material used to make equipment, it boasts a tremendous value.

Second, it meant that it was so precious that it was hard to see it once in a lifetime. Thanks to that, I’ve been looking around the screaming ridge for over a day, but I haven’t been able to find even a leaf of Mandragora yet.

“Eun-ah... There is a famous legend in Mandragora.”

Sumire opens her mouth while maintaining her thick dark circles.

“What?”

When Kim Eun-ah asked with a weak face on her drooping shoulders, Sumire imitated a person walking around with her fingers.

“Another name for mandragora is mandrake.... It is a plant that looks like a person, so it is said that at night it walks out of the ground and walks around in search of the desired area.”

How dare you walk all over the place with legs attached to the plant theme. How nice it would have been if it was just quietly buried in the ground like other plants.

“Then even if Mandragora was here... I don’t know where he’s gone now, right?”

“I don’t know since when the 19th floor was maintained with this quest. Worst case... yes. There is a possibility that there are no more left on the ridge of screams.”

Could it be because of such an enormous level of difficulty? At the center of the Ridge of Scream was a warp portal.

It was a structure that could return to the first floor and exit the tower at any time, as long as the portal was used.

‘This is like...’

It doesn’t matter when you come to the tower or when you leave. If you only collect mandrakes, I’ll let you go to the 20th floor.

Toph had said so.

‘It seems like they’re provoking you to look for them if you can find them...’

Even at the moment Kim Eun-ah and Sumire stretched out on the forced march, Shin Yoo-seong was seldom seen as she was wandering around the ridge looking for Mandragora.

Even Shin Yoo-seong, who is familiar with the mountain, is unable to find it.

“...Can we find it in three days?”

“Yeah, actually... I read the life story of collecting mandragora in a treasure hunter book before.”

A treasure hunter is a hunter who roams around dungeons and towers in search of valuable treasures and artifacts, as well as things that make money, from ingredients to by-products.

In particular, fantasy species such as Mandragora were treated as very precious items even by treasure hunters, and there were many cases where the contents of them were proudly organized into books.

“The time it took for that treasure hunter to collect the mandragora was... just one month.”

“Ha one month!?”

Surprised, Kim Eun-ah jumped up and Sumire nodded helplessly.

“Even a month was a lucky case. If Mandragora had already gone far away, how long would it take to find it...”

No matter how difficult it was to collect Mandragora, clearing the 19th floor to reach the 20th floor was only natural. As it is impossible to arbitrarily pass only the 19th floor, this quest is the Wailing Wall that must be overcome.

“Aren’t we just looking for something to make until the second year? On weekends, they come to look for them, apply for an outing pass, and come to look for them again...”

If Eun-ah Kim had such a life, even if it was a vacation, she would not be accepted. But this was just an ordinary mountain full of weeds and the smell of grass.

All you could do here was find or pray that you would find Mandragora while smelling the grass, which now seemed terrifying.

“I can’t live like that...”

While Kim Eun-ah, devastated, muttered helplessly as she lay in the weeds, Sumire was crouching down pulling weeds.

“Still... I have to find where I can reach.”

The reason why Sumire was pulling weeds with a haggard face was simple.

Mandragora’s leaves mimicked the leaves of surrounding plants, just as octopuses and chameleons mimic the shapes of surrounding objects.

– 3 Mandragora.

single single.

Lee Soo-hyun, who had been smiling kindly, couldn’t control her expression at Kim Eun-ah’s unreasonable request, and her lips moved pouting.

“Mandragora... three of them? I know... make fantasy plants, right?”

When Lee Su-hyeon doubted her ears at the request that was hard to believe, she heard Sumire’s surprised voice from over there.

– Hehehehehehe!? Ms. Eun-ah, would you like to buy Mandragora?

– If you don’t want to die of old age here, this is the only way!

Lee Soo-hyun touched her forehead as if she had a headache at Eun-ah Kim’s cry, whose hair was tousled no matter how hard she had suffered.

“Even though money is not a problem... But, three phantasmagoric plants...”

However, Lee Soo-hyun nodded soon.

‘okay.’

When Kim Eun-ah, the princess of Shinsung Group, buys what she wants, where is the amount of money?

Anyway, money is rotten here.

If Kim Seok-han, the chairman of Shinsung Group, found out, he might buy all the mandragora in the world and make a mandragora field for Kim Eun-ah.

“Okay, lady! Then we’ll find it right away!”

* * *

It’s been 2 hours since I barely contacted you.

In just two hours, Kim Eun-ah was called by Lee Su-hyeon and went to the first floor of the tower.

“You guys, do you know what this is?”

In the hands of Kim Eun-ah, who has been to the first floor, is a gorgeous box that looks like a jewelry box.

“Ah, what is this?”

Shin Yoo-seong, who had become covered in dirt, had a puzzled expression, and Sumire, who knew the general situation, looked at Ham and made a stunned expression.

“Ugh, Eun-ah, you can’t believe that...”

Kim Eun-ah smiled proudly and warned Sumire and Shin Yoo-seong while putting on the ear plugs she had prepared.

“Everyone close your ears.”

Soon after, Tak- Kim Eun-ah opens the box.

There, three plants the size of fists but roughly humanoids were literally asleep.

“Wow wow this is...”

“Make it!”

Surprised Sumire and Shin Yoo-seong exclaim.

dreamy

Whether it was because of the loud noise or because of the sunlight, the Mandragora suddenly woke up.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah-!

“Gaaaaagh!”

“Doaaaaaagh!”

Then, the mandrakes screaming grotesquely so that the listener’s ears fall off. However, the party members, including Kim Eun-ah, had already completed their defense against screaming through ear plugs or fingers.

“Okay then. Bury this Mandragora in the ground...”

Kim Eun-ah dug up the soil at the edge of the screaming ridge and buried the Mandragora.

Then, he immediately picked up a Mandragora.

grasp-!

This was not a normal attack method.

[You cleared the 19th floor of the tower by collecting the fantasy species Mandragora from the Ridge of Scream.] [May the

blessing of the tower follow.]

It seems that the tower recognizes economic power, not strength or skill.
