Book 6: Chapter 146

Tafel stared as Leechy retreated into Marys root bracelet. The root bracelet reminded her of a mouth while the black and red bush reminded her of noodles, Leechy practically being slurped away. Where did you get Leechy anyway?

From the eleventh floor, Mary said. Youre given a seed, and you have to help it grow by feeding it nutrients. The major guilds led by the lords each had their own resources centers where they traded items for nutrients, and people traded with them often.

Oh, so everyone gets a bush that can take peoples skills? Tafel asked.

No, Mary said. Mines special. I robbed all the resource centers and fed every single nutrient they accumulated to Leechy.

Kim Hajuns face paled. You did what? he asked before Tafel could say anything. You robbed all of them?

Every last one, Mary said and nodded. Also, when Im talking to my best friend, dont interrupt.

Kim Hajuns expression darkened as he stared at the ground. Mary mustve been a variable introduced along with Vurs group. The eleventh floor was a major hub for the elemental guild alliance. If it had been destroyed in his prophetic dream before the Oebu Sin arrived, he wouldve remembered it.

Tafel scratched her head, her fingers bumping against the bat skeleton in her hair. Well, the demon said. Itll be a while before we hit the eleventh floor. Auntie doesnt want us to go out in public after Vur trounced the lords, and I dont blame her. Its annoying to be stared at.

Tafel glanced at the wounded. You shouldnt need any help transporting these people to the Virtuous Hands residence, right? she asked Mary.

Mary shook her head. But you should come with me anyway, she said. Vurs probably sleeping still. If you go back to your place, youll just be bored.

Okay, Tafel said. Although she wouldnt be bored because there were still tons of things she had to study, it was true Vur was probably still sleeping after tiring himself out with that fight against the lords. She placed her hand on the wooden tablet, and she furrowed her brow. Huh, thats odd.

What is? Mary asked. She peered at the demon, but Tafel was too focused on reading the message displayed in her vision. Did something happen?

Yeah, Tafel said. Theres a lot more options to choose from. I can enter any floor I want.

The tower mustve realized you were Vurs wife, Mary said and nodded. Since hes the new ruler, it makes sense you get benefits too.

I dont know if its just me, Tafel said and scratched her head. Theres a big announcement saying advancement exams are no longer necessary because its every dogs right to jump on couches and go on walks wherever he wants.

Kim Hajuns brow furrowed, and he sidled to the side, going around Tafel and Mary in an arc to reach the wooden tablet. He placed his hand on it, and it was as Tafel had said. The option to enter any floor had appeared, and the nonsensical announcement was indeed quite large. Kim Hajuns eyes lit up. Even though this was a huge change, he could take advantage of it. He didnt have to climb the floors chronologically anymore; since that was the case, if he could obtain the hidden piece on the thirtieth floor, hed be able to hunt the creature on the seventeenth floor right now. His current itinerary had to be scrapped, and whole new plans had to be made.
