Episode 63. Autumn Continent (3)
Lois’ heart pounded.
An excited voice flowed from his mouth.
“Amazing, Great!”
I was looking for data with the intention of salvaging something, but I didn’t expect that this would come up.
Lois quickly skimmed the last page, which she had already read several times.

Extra: Rusty sword held by the Tower of Desire
Category: Weapon
Source: Unknown
characteristic:
A sword found in the Labyrinth of Trials by the first tower lord of the Tower of Desire.
It had been rusty since I first discovered it.
Although the blade is rusty, the hilt of the sword is as clean as if it had just been made, without the slightest scratch.
The sword is heavy enough to require three adult men to lift, and the rust on the sword cannot be removed by any means.
The first pagoda owner who brought the sword from the labyrinth tried to find out the secret of the sword for a long time, but was unable to do so.
Since then, following the wishes of the first tower owner, members of the Tower of Desire have been trying to reveal the secret, but even to this day, the secret about this sword has not been solved.
The secret of the rusty sword that has not been solved for a long time.
Right now, it’s a sword that can’t even cut down a soft candle, but since I don’t know how it will change when the secret is revealed, I can’t rank this sword.

Lois was convinced after reading the description of the rusty sword.
This is the favorite disease of the person who will later be called the Sword Saint and King of Knights.
Also, it is a true dragon sword (斬龍劍) that cuts off the head of a light dragon.
‘same. It’s just like when Kendrick first got the sword.’
Of course, there were many differences between the original development drawings and the illustrations in the book, but the conditions were consistent.
The entire sword body is rusted, but the hilt is as good as new.
Even an enormous weight that exceeds normal weight.
It was in this form when Sword Master Kendrick first acquired this sword.
In the original work, the explanation of the True Dragon Sword is not discussed much.
Very briefly, the only explanation is that it is a sword used during the Great War.
‘The true dragon sword appeared in the later part of the original work, I guess?’
Kendrick, who obtained the True Dragon Sword in a fight with a high-ranking noble family, later unlocks the sword’s secrets.
Afterwards, the pure white sword body hidden in the red rust is revealed, and it is reborn as a new sword that cuts even the dragon’s scales like tofu.
Of course, the story of the sword is not very important to Lois.
The only thing that needs to be done is for this sword to not fall into the hands of the Sword Saint and be pointed at Generoker in the future.
‘I never thought I’d find this.’
Thinking about it that way, Lois thought that her luck wasn’t that bad.
‘I don’t know anything else, but I must get this.’
To do that, he had to stop by the Tower of Desire, which knew about the sword.
After thinking that, Lois got up from her seat, grabbed her book, and headed to the checkout counter.
“Sister, please give me this!”
“huh? “Just that?”
“yes!”
Lois bought only the second of the two books.
He asked, just in case.
“Sister, do you know who the author of this book is?”
“author? wait for a sec.”
The woman looked at the book in Lois’ hands.
After a while, she smiled softly and said.
“It’s a book written by the lord of the Tower of Desire.”
At the sound of the Tower of Desire, a strange thought crossed Lois’s eyes.
‘As expected!’
Only the description of the rusty sword at the end of the book felt different from other descriptions.
If the other explanations seemed to give information about the object, the explanation about the rusty sword felt like a bit of a lament.
‘Maybe the True Dragon Sword is still in the Tower of Desire.’
If the Tower of Desire was still guarding the remains of the first tower owner, there was a high probability that the True Dragon Sword would be there.
Lois’s heart rose slightly.
He asked with a red face.
“Do you know anything about the Tower of Desire?”
The woman nodded in response to Lois’ question.
“I don’t know the details, but I know that the Tower of Desire is a slightly unusual place.”
“Is it special?”
“They say that while other castle towers study holy laws, the Tower of Desire is a tower that focuses only on the study of objects and not holy laws.”
“Ohong?”
Lois’ eyes sparkled.
Study of objects.
Lois’ eyes sparkled at the strange feeling that word gave her.
Meanwhile, the woman’s story continued.

“I research and create objects… They say they only create something unique and strange. Still, I heard that it is a tower with a long history. “This book was also written by the current tower lord of the Tower of Desire.”
“wow! It’s awesome! Do you know where the Tower of Desire is?”
“hmm… If I remember correctly, it’s in a town called Cyron. “I remembered the Tower of Desire because it was a bit unique.”
“and! “You’re smart!”
“Hehe, if you read a lot of books, you can become smart like your sister.”
“Then, if you have any geography or history books about the Autumn Continent, please recommend them!”
“Autumn Continent geography and history books? If that’s the case… … .”
She brought a book.
The woman asked worriedly when she saw Lois carrying all that.
“Can you carry everything?”
“Do not worry! “I’m strong!”
“Hehe, would you like your sister to carry it for you?”
“no! it’s okay!”
Rejecting the woman’s kindness, Lois paid for the book and left the bookstore.
Lois’ face was filled with satisfaction as she walked out the door of the bookstore.
‘Of course, the best way to get information about travel destinations is from books!’
Also, I felt like I needed to do some basic research about the Autumn Continent in order to get and understand information from other places.
In Lois’s opinion, the treasure trove of basic knowledge was none other than books.
‘I have to go back and read this right away!’
Lois walked faster at the thought of reading a book.
Lois returned to the inn with a book the size of her body.
but… … .
“Roy, Roy! “Something to eat!”
“Delicious!”
When Lois saw the twins approaching and holding out both hands as if to welcome their father home from work, Lois had no choice but to go outside again.

two days later.
After gathering information from the city, Royce and his party found a carriage and left the city.
Fabro, who had regained his strength after two days, asked as he drove the carriage.
“Where are we going now?”
It was Lois who got the information, and even Fabro didn’t know much about the Autumn Continent.
Therefore, Lois was holding the rudder for this journey.
In response to Fabro’s question, Lois looked at the map she had obtained and spoke.
“There is a village called Sairon about two days north of here. “Go there.”
“North? Are you going north instead of west?”
“huh. I have a place to stop by. “It’s called the Tower of Desire.”
“It’s the Tower of Desire… All right. But will it be okay? If your schedule is tight… … .”
“hmm… … .”
Lois rubbed her chin in response to Fabreau’s concern.
‘Let’s see, it’s time…’ … .’
What was most important to Lois and her group at the moment was time.
Was their trip just a trip?
It was a journey with a set deadline.
If the deadline is passed, a huge bomb will fall on the continent.
Lois, who calculated the time for a moment, nodded.
“It’s okay, this much.”
Even though various things took up quite a bit of time on the winter continent, I was able to arrive at the fall continent in less than a year.
Except for a few major incidents, this was the result of crossing the continent day and night on a snow wagon.
When there was a mountain, Lois and the twins climbed over it with a wagon, and when they came across a frozen lake, they ran over it without hesitation.
Since we traversed the continent in a straight line, ignoring everything that got in our way, it was natural that the time was drastically shorter than planned.
‘If you cross the road the same way from now on… ‘I might be able to reach the Spring Continent in 5 years instead of 10.’
Of course, that was just a theory.
I had to save time because I didn’t know when and where what variables would pop up.
Therefore, Lois planned to quickly cross the continent except for a few things that had to be done.
And finding the True Dragon Sword was one of the things he had to do.
No matter how much time it took, I had to obtain the True Dragon Sword.
Many, many, many -.
Inside the rocking carriage, Lois looked around.
The surrounding scenery flows slowly.
To Lois, who was driving around in a car in the past, the speed seemed ridiculously slow.
‘I think I could go home faster if I didn’t get tired… … .’
But I couldn’t help it.
Horses are animals with life.
No matter how physically strong the horses were, Royce and his group’s travel schedule was so intense that they could not endure it.
A thought flashed through Lois’s mind when she remembered that.
‘Now that I think about it, you said it was a castle tower for studying objects, right?’
After researching about the pagoda, I found out that it was more unique and famous than I thought.
The reason for its fame was its eccentricity.
People who only make things that are so unique that you wonder why they make them.
Lois thought of this and smiled slightly.
“perhaps… “Maybe we can get something pretty good?”
Isn’t it a cliché to get unexpectedly good items from places like these, whether they’re novels or comics?
‘Over-technology’ that goes far beyond the world view usually occurs in such places.
What could the eccentricity of this world have created?
With that expectation in mind, Lois and her carriage moved forward.
two days later.
“Is it there?”
Royce and his group followed the trail and entered the beginning of a village.
A fairly small village with about 50 households.
Despite the small size of the village, two adult men were standing guard at the entrance of the village, probably because they run their own security force.
While the carriage Royce and his party were in was undergoing a brief baggage inspection at the entrance, Fabro asked the man.
“Is there a Tower of Desire in this village?”
“huh?”
The guard’s face distorted in response to Fabro’s question.
he asked warily.
“Why do you ask that?”
“hmm… “I have some business to run.”
“It’s the Tower of Desire.”
“Oh, really?”
The guard’s crumpled face, unlike Fabro’s glowing face, was not easily straightened.
Fabro, who was curious about the reason, tried to ask the security guard about the situation, but then a signal came that the carriage’s luggage inspection was over.
“Pass!”
The frowning security guard waved his hand.
After finishing his appetite, Fabro drove the carriage again.
Many, many, many -.
Fabro stopped the carriage that was traveling through the village.
He stopped a woman passing by and asked,
“Well, let me ask you the way.”
The middle-aged woman, who had been surprised to see Fabreau making a big, big impression, relaxed when she saw Lois and the twins peeking out from between the carriages.
“yes.”
“I heard there is a Tower of Desire here… Where do I have to go?”
As soon as the words “Tower of Desire” were said, the woman’s face hardened.
“Why are you looking there?”
“I have some business to run… … . “
It was again.
Like the security guard, the woman also had an uneasy expression on her face.
While Fabro was puzzled by the repeated situation, the woman pointed to one side with her finger.
“If you follow this road, you will come across a house that looks different from the others.”
“Did you say it looked different?”
“You will know when you see it. We’ll find out at a glance. “That is the Tower of Desire.”
“ah… “Thank you.”
“I advise you, but it’s better not to get involved with people there for a long time.”
“… huh?”
Papro gave her a curious look, but after finishing what she had to say, the woman left.
Fabro, who was watching this, looked at Lois and asked.
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
“well… “You’ll find out when you go.”
How could Lois know the reason?
If I was curious, I just checked.
Fabro drove the carriage in the direction the woman had mentioned.
And after a while.
“Hey… … .”
“wow!”
“uh… … .”
“What is this?”
Lois and the others immediately understood what the woman said: they would recognize it at a glance.
“That… “Is it a house?”
“trash! “Dumpster!”
A four-story building with a bizarre shape that looks like it was made of all kinds of hardware.
It looked completely different from the houses around it, and like Khan’s shout, it seemed to be made by tying together all kinds of hardware waste.
If what the woman said is correct, that metal structure must be the Tower of Desire.
Once they found the tower, Royce and the others got off the carriage.
And then I found the door into the building.
The good news was that the door could be found.
smart-.
Fabro took the lead and knocked on the door.
But when there was no response, Fabro’s hand tightened.
Bang bang-.
“Stay!”
A strong ringing sound.
Only then did a response come from inside the door.
“What show?”
The door opened slightly and an old man appeared.
Lois’ eyes widened when she saw him.
