Chapter 455: I knew I could trust you, Park Sejun!!!

Chapter 455: I knew I could trust you, Park Sejun!!!

TL: Hanguk

Recently, I regained my memories.

My original name, when I was called the King of Farming, was Saint Ludwig Schruen Argon Walter XVIII.

I was the Grand Saint of the now-destroyed world, Ogan.

‘That was who I was...’

[Why did you eliminate my seeds!]

‘Why am I being treated like this here?’

The King of Farming, caught by Podori’s roots and being vigorously shaken, fell into deep thought.

Of course, he acknowledged that some of it was his fault. But still...

“This is unfair! Please, listen to my story first! It’s all because of that damned grape wine...”

The King of Farming began to recount his unfair circumstances.

Long before he became the Grand Saint, when he was just an ordinary priest, he was in charge of managing the grape wine cellar.

However, the previous manager of the grape wine cellar, a senior priest, said he would hand over the responsibilities starting the next day, but instead, he ran away in the middle of the night.

“What?! These barrels are all empty!”

He discovered only later that most of the wine barrels in the cellar were empty.

Over nearly ten years, the senior priests who had managed the wine cellar before him had been sneaking wine little by little, until the cellar was nearly empty.

In a game of hot potato, he received the bomb when its fuse was almost down to 1mm.

“Ah. I’m doomed.”

As he fell into despair and spent his days in despair,

“What?! There will be an inventory check in a month?!”

To make matters worse, an official notice arrived from the Central Temple announcing a large-scale inventory inspection.

He was really doomed!

If they found out that the wine stock didn’t match the records, he would likely be dragged to an inquisition, and then horrifying torture would follow...

“Why must I endure such trials... God, please help me!”

So he prayed fervently to Leah, the God of Abundance, inside the wine cellar, but at that time, Leah was too popular and too busy to listen to a lay priest’s prayers.

“Agh! This rotten world!”

When praying fervently for a day proved to be useless,

“Since there’s not much left anyway, I’m going to drink this and die!”

In a fit of anger, the King of Farming drank all the remaining wine in the cellar.

And then,

“Huh?!”

When he came to his senses, he found himself lying on the ground, surrounded by grapevines bearing grapes he hadn’t seen before.

In his drunken state, he had developed a divine spell to create seedless grapes.

After that, the King of Farming’s future was smooth sailing.

Because he could produce as many grapes as he wanted, which were ingredients for holy water.

“That’s how I became the High Priest.”

[So, you’re saying you mass-produced seedless grapes and lived well off of it?]

You grape butcher! I’ll avenge the grapes that couldn’t be born because of you!

“Huh?!”

This wasn’t right. He was sure he had explained his unavoidable circumstances...

The King of Farming was flustered by Podori’s reaction.

Thud.

“I was wrong! Please spare me!”

He quickly realized what he needed to do and started begging for mercy.

[Hmph!]

Podori, not intending to kill Sejun’s subordinate, decided to calm down.

After all, if it made too much of a fuss, it might be revealed that it had once blocked Leah Road.

Just as the situation was settling down,

“Podori, calm down. You have seeds now, and the King of Farming doesn’t.”

[Oh! That’s true!]

Sejun approached and soothed the angry Podori.

“...?!”

Thanks to that, the King of Farming suffered a mysterious loss. He felt somewhat wronged.

Even if Sejun-nim is here, I can’t...

Words he wanted to say surged from his heart, not his mind.

But

No! I must endure!

If he crossed Sejun, he would face something far worse than what he was dealing with now, so the King of Farming suppressed his urge to speak.

Just then,

“King of Farming, do you have something you want to say?”

Sejun asked the King of Farming, who seemed like he had something to say.

And then,

“Sejun-nim is...”

As the words the King of Farming had been struggling to suppress were about to burst out,

[It’s been a while, Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, Park Sejun.]

Fortunately, the King of Farming’s eyes turned golden as Leah descended.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

“Leah-nim?”

[Yes, it is I. I have traveled a long way to deliver the divine relic you have been waiting for.]

Though it was the King of Farming who had made the long journey, Leah took the credit for it.

[Now, receive my divine relic.]

Flash.

With Leah’s words, a brown tattered pouch appeared on Sejun’s hand.

[Pouch of Abundance]

– She was first to recognize for the level 100 job quest.

– Descended upon the King of Farming and personally delivered the divine relic, the Pouch of Abundance.

“Great. Leah-nim should be satisfied with this.”

After finishing the 10-meter-high achievement monument in the center of the 33 square meters temple he newly built near the Creator God’s Tablet, Sejun spoke.

Receiving a good divine relic that could increase both seeds and slaves at the same time, the reward was well deserved.

Thus, Sejun completed Leah’s achievement monument.

“King of Farming, you said you regained your memory, right? What’s your name?”

He asked for the King of Farming’s name.

“Saint Ludwig Schruen Argon Walter XVIII.”

“...I’ll just call you King of Farming.”

“Yes...”

“King of Farming, you’ve had a hard time coming here, so take a rest for now.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Sejun let the King of Farming rest and,

“Podori, squeeze this.”

He handed some sugarcane to Podori.

[This?]

“Yeah.”

So annoying...

Podori didn’t want to do it, but...

If word got out to Flamie that I refused something Sejun-nim asked me to do, I’d be dead, right?

[Yes!]

Imagining an enraged Flamie igniting flames while shouting “I’ll burn you up!” made Podori tremble as it quickly took the sugarcane.

And then,

Crunch.

When Podori squeezed the sugarcane hard using its roots,

Gush, gush, gush.

The sugarcane juice flowed with a refreshing sound into the glass bottle Sejun had prepared on the ground.

‘Huh. Why does this feel oddly satisfying?’

At the same time, Podori felt like the anger that had been building up in its chest was being relieved a little as it squeezed the sugarcane.

[Sejun-nim, do you have more of this?]

“There’s plenty over there.”

And so, Podori voluntarily took on the role of sugarcane juice extractor.

“Alright. Let’s start planting sugarcane in earnest.”

Sejun began harvesting sugarcane in earnest.

***

Green Tower, 1st Floor.

“Puhuhut. Slaves, report your accomplishments during this time, meow!”

Theo summoned Turbo and Shark, the slaves and legendary merchants of the Green Tower, to receive a business report.

“Vice Chairman Theo, I have acquired five land deeds!”

In response to Theo’s words, Turbo hurriedly took out 5 land deeds.

Three were from the Green Tower, one from the Black Tower, and one from the White Tower.

I can’t lose my legendary merchant item, the Seven Towers’ Land Deed Detector, here.

Theo was a demonic legendary merchant who could even snatch the items belonging to other legendary merchants.

I must do well so it doesn’t get taken away.

So, Turbo genuinely put in a lot of effort to complete the tasks Theo assigned.

And then,

“I led a slave army to scour the tower and found the Green Orb of Life that Vice Chairman Theo mentioned!”

Shark, who had set a good example for Turbo, pulled out a green orb.

What?! A Green Orb of Life?!

Turbo was shocked when he saw the orb.

Although Brachio had casually brought this orb, finding a Green Orb of Life in the tower was no easy feat.

The area around an orb where life force was intensely concentrated always attracted powerful monsters.

104.28.193.250

And the strength of the monster that became the orb’s owner after battling those formidable creatures was tremendous.

“Puhuhut. Good job, meow! Bring me more next time, meow!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

After receiving the reports from his subordinates, Theo said,

“Ophelia-nim, it’s time for special training, meow!”

“Okay. I got it. Just let me finish eating this.”

Ophelia, who was eating a sausage skewer nearby, prepared to start special training.

A few hours later,

“Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”

Theo, having absorbed a lot of energy through his special training with Ophelia, announced his return with a strong voice.

And then,

Daldaldal.

The golden carriage, which had finally delivered all 10 million Magical Cherry Tomatoes listed on the order form, quietly returned as well.
