[ Episode 247. Tower]

It was no exaggeration to say that the tower was another world.



The number of people living on the first floor alone was close to 10,000, and if the number of people climbing was added, the boat passed.

“It’s a party on the 11th floor! Looking for a climber for the 11th floor!”

“It is a guided party that runs to the 5th floor. 2nd and 3rd floors are 500 points each. I will serve you on the 4th and 5th floors at a price of 1000 points each.”

There was a large clearing in front of the tower’s climbing entrance.

And in front of him, he was distracted by various soliciting acts and the cries of people recruiting parties.

“Are we going alone?”

“yes.”

In the first place, there were few people who were looking for a party at the entrance square of the tower.

If you were a sane person, you would seek a party from your own faction, but there is no way you would seek a party here with people you don’t know.

“Hey bro. Are you new? Then how about joining us? They don’t even get points, they just guide you to the 3rd floor for free. Instead, all the loot is ours. huh?”

“Move.”

Vivian glared at the person who had spoken to her with a desolate expression.

Under the tremendous pressure, the opponent withdrew with a stunned expression.

Sometimes when I see him like that, he looks a little bit like Vivian in the game.

“You mean those people are dangerous?”

“Not all of them, but most of them.”

Those who seduce people they don’t know and drag them into the tower to commit crimes.

When climbing, only the party you entered together could be together, so only the party you were with could know what was going on inside.

Because they were exposed to such risks, it was also the reason why the quality of people seeking a party here declined.

“Oh, here it is.”

From afar, Garnet waved and greeted us.

We promised to meet at the entrance, but you came out first.

As she waved her hand, the eyes gathered around her.

As Garnet lived in the Tower for a long time, his influence and fame were quite great.

“Then, as promised......”

I handed over the platinum seal, and Garnet received it while using technology to remain invisible.

I’m watching it again, but it’s similar to magic, but with a different principle, a little bit of a learning mind.

Garnet put the platinum seal in her bosom with a happy expression and bowed her head.

“Even if you don’t make it to the 36th floor, I will definitely repay you for this favor.”

“It will go up. Do not worry.”

In fact, even in the game, I had always made him a companion, but I didn’t know why he remained in the tower for 100 years without escaping.

I didn’t even need to know at the time, and I didn’t think much of it because it was a relationship that would break up if I left the tower anyway.

But when it became a reality, I became curious.

Why on earth does this doll remain here, repairing itself?

“Then good luck.”

Garnet saw us off as we headed towards the entrance of the tower.

The transparent glowing skin and long hair that glistened red stood out.

Later, when the time comes, let’s learn about Garnet.

[2nd floor: Attack of the Disquieters]

[Remaining time: 240 hours]

Climbing the tower begins in earnest.

Perhaps those who came in with us are still doing chores, saying they are still adjusting.

After a week of acclimatization, they will be transferred to each faction and start climbing by forming a party for each faction.

“Vivian. I will take care of it.”

“huh.”

Everyone had already learned how to attack the tower up to the 30th floor.

The information accumulated over the years has been shared and organized by the people who have entered and exited the tower.

Even if you don’t tell Vivian, she’ll take care of herself.

-Kirik!

The lower floors were of lower quality, befitting the lower floors.

If you are talented enough to enter the tower, you can break it alone.

Fuck!

We were summoned to a seemingly ordinary forest.

“Are you a human you know?”

“Yeah, but I told you yesterday, didn’t I? The two people from Rodlen’s faction who obtained the reward from the 0th floor have left. Maybe they are.”

“Garnet. Is it true?”

Garnet shrugged his shoulders at Immortal’s question, which changed as if a porcupine had erected a thorn as the wire stiffened.

“You can’t bet they are the owners of this message, right?”

“Don’t play with words, Garnet. It is important.”

In the end, the blue-skinned Immortal, who had been quiet, scolded Garnet.

Even so, Garnet didn’t care and said what she had to say.

“So what do you guys want? If they are right, what do you plan to do?”

“You talk as if we were going to do something bad.”

“Isn’t that so?”

Garnet’s bold answer made the wire stiffen.

“Garnet. we’ve been here too long We continue to receive news from the outside, but we must prepare to go out soon.”

“Then you can leave immediately. There are no restrictions on escaping the tower.”

“As Mirva said, we are not here to play with words.”

said the Iron Immortal, suppressing his anger.

Then he glared at Garnet with suspicious eyes.

“I heard that you, Garnet, guided the humans, but there must have been some kind of deal?”

“yes that’s right.”

Garnet did not hide it and admitted it meekly.

Then, the expressions of the other immortals who were with him changed to a bad look.

“That...is very rare. How are you standing?”

“I just did it because I needed it.”

“okay? However, if it was a job that required a stamp, it would have been possible to get help from others enough? Last year’s golden seal is still with Margretha, so if it was your request, I’d have done it.”

“We Immortals love the word fate. Is it because they are beings that mean immortality?”

“Suddenly, that sounds out of the blue.”

“It’s not out of the blue. I just wanted to say that I felt doomed.”

At Garnet’s words, the audience fell silent.

And while we were sorting out each other’s thoughts for a while, a blue-skinned immortal named Mirva opened her mouth.

“Garnet. I will respect your choice. It would have been nice if I had said something in advance, but that’s a pity.”

“I’m sorry, Mirva. But I never thought they would commit such an outrageous thing.”

“You’re lying, Garnet. Anyway, I’ll just leave. You can’t touch Garnet’s trade target. I want the rest of you to decide for yourself.”

Mirva disappeared like the wind.

Dafran sighed and raised his hand.

“I give up too! I have no intention of going against Garnet.”

When only the wire immortal remained, he touched the stiffly erect hair and said,

“I just want to check it out. I’m not going to sit still if they get something that’s not in their place.”

“I am already their colleague.”

“It has nothing to do with me. Then you will protect them.”

With that said, he left the meeting room.

Left alone in the end, Garnet sat still and stroked her red jewel-like hair.

“I never thought I would be able to do that much.”

I already felt that it was unusual from the platinum painting.

However, even Garnett could not have imagined that he would achieve such an achievement.

In fact, the reason he healed himself at the hextech shop was to climb the tower with them.

Garnet, who had already felt an unknown pull from the moment he encountered them, was thinking of breaking the long silence and climbing the tower again.

But to think that the person who made me feel that attraction would be this good...

“I want to decide my end.”

Garnet muttered an incomprehensible muttering to herself and soon stood up to greet her comrades who were about to come out of the tower.

**

Back!

-Chewup huh.

A certain space inside a deep, dark tower.

There, I woke up feeling the scent I had smelled before.

– Observer?

Hundreds of eyes twitched, then smiled.
