Episode 65. Tower of Desire (2)
After hearing the general situation from the village chief, Royce visited the Tower of Desire several more times.
But every time, I had to come back without even seeing Dexter’s face.
It was clear that there was someone inside, as he occasionally heard the sound of metal pounding and pounding, but Dexter didn’t pretend to hear anyone calling him.
So Lois made a decision.
‘It’s chicken instead of pheasant!’
Since I was unable to attack Dexter, I decided to attack his disciples instead.
There are 4 of them. Wouldn’t one of them know about the rusty sword?
For that reason, Royce and the others stayed at the village chief’s house for three days.
Fabro offered to compensate for the extended stay, but the village chief refused.
‘I like the fact that my house smells like people, so you can stay as long as you want.’
The village chief smiled brightly as he said those words.
The twins, who often show off their cuteness, and Fabro, who serves quite delicious dishes.
The village chief was very pleased with the guests who came after a long time.
Therefore, he always had a bright face even when he went out to work in the fields.
Thanks to the village chief’s consideration, Royce and his party were able to comfortably stay in the village.
And today, Lois left the village chief’s house accompanied by Fabro and the twins.
It was to meet Dexter’s disciples.
“The name… “I said they were Victor, Floria, Erica, and Douglas.”
“yes.”
Lois pondered over the names of Dexter’s disciples that the village chief had given her.
Then he shouted energetically.
“Okay, let’s go meet Victor first!”
“Aren’t you going by carriage?”
“Walk a little. Then you gain weight. no… “Is it already steamed?”
“Hey, this isn’t flesh! “It’s muscle!”
“okay. “You’re a pig with fat muscles.”
Royce and the others set out on the road, bickering.
Autumn skies full of green and yellow and pink wildflowers growing in the fields.
In a sunny autumn landscape, the twins ran energetically in all directions chasing a dragonfly.
Carney, who had been running around for a while, suddenly ran in front of Lois.
“Roy, Roy!”
“why?”
“Come closer!”
Kani speaks shyly while hiding something behind his back.
Lois approached him with a suspicious look.
Then Carney smiled brightly and took out what he had hidden behind him.
When Lois saw this, there was puzzlement in her eyes.
‘… flower?’
What Kani brought was a small yellow flower.
The guy gently put it in Lois’s ear and laughed.
“Roy is pretty!”
“… … .”
“lol.”
Kani’s cheeks turned red and he ran away with a shy face.
Then, I ran around the field with Khan again.
“Tsk tsk.”
Lois, who was dumbfounded by what happened so quickly, opened her eyes when she heard laughter coming from next to her.
Fabro quickly turned his head to hide his smiling face.
However, Fabro has already been caught laughing.
It wasn’t Lois who was left to see this.
“Fabro.”
“… yes?”
“Bow down.”
At Lois’ command, Fabro lowered his upper body with a shocked look on his face.
Then Lois moved the flower in her ear to Fabro’s ear.
A single flower grew on a rugged face.
Finn, who was riding on Fabro’s shoulder, fell over and fell.
“I… Lois?”
“If you take it out, you die.”
“yes… … .”
Favreau was crying, but Lois was already ahead of him.
Favreau, with his shoulders slumped, chased after Lois.
With a flower in my hair… … .
It was a truly peaceful sight.
How long did it take to walk like that?
A group of people walking around the village stopped in front of a house.
“It’s here, right?”

“I guess so?”
Finn nodded to Lois’ question.
According to the village chief, there are a total of 4 houses for the Desire Tower disciples.
The first place Lois and her group arrived at was Victor’s house.
However, there were so many weeds around Victor’s house that it seemed as if people were living there.
Lois tilted her head and gestured at Favreau.
Now if you want to pretend, just pretend.
Favreau, realizing what Lois wanted, let out a small sigh and knocked on the door.
“Stay!”
Bang bang-.
“Is there anyone inside!”
A voice so loud that if there were anyone inside, they would never be able to hear it.
Fortunately, someone must have heard this from inside.
Grrr- Grrr-.
A sound like something scraping on a wooden board was heard for a moment, and then the door opened.
Then a young man with long brown hair appeared inside.
“What is it?”
The young man frowned at Fabro.
“Victor, perhaps a member of the Tower of Desire… … .”
“Go.”
bang-.
Before Fabro could finish his question, the door that had been opened slammed shut.
Favreau, with a shocked look on his face, knocked on the door again, but the door did not open.
Fabro frowned and looked back.
“I want this… “You are the master and the disciple.”
Is it a tower of aspiration that teaches people to treat people rudely?
While Favreau was frowning and grumbling, Lois was lost in thought.
He remembered Victor’s leg a moment ago.
‘artificial leg… ‘It was, right?’
A sound like scratching on a wooden board was heard from inside a while ago.
It was none other than the sound made by the man’s prosthetic leg.
And another strange thing was the energy felt from the young man.
‘I’m not human.’
Lois could smell a strange smell coming from the young man.
‘Rough energy. and… ‘Smell.’
It was not a smell conveyed by the sense of smell.
An energy similar to ‘smell’ was felt in the man’s natural energy.
It stings like an animal.
Through this, Lois was able to discover the man’s identity.
‘They are the beast people.’
I didn’t know exactly what kind of beastman tribe it was, but it was certain that it was that tribe.
Fabro asked Lois, who was so troubled, another question.
“What should I do?”
“… “Let’s go find another house first.”
Leaving behind their regrets, Royce and the others turned their backs.
Even though the first house didn’t work out, it was too early to be discouraged because there were still three houses left to visit.
This is the second house I visited.
“Stay!”
“… who are you?”
The person who came out of the second house was an eye-popping beauty.
Bright silver hair and pure white skin.
The only thing that was unusual was that both eyes were covered with black bandages.
“Are you, by any chance, Miss Floria, the disciple of Master Dexter?”
“That’s right… … . But what should I do with this… I’m a bit busy right now. Please come back next time.”
“… … .”
After saying that, Floria closed the door and disappeared.
He only spoke kindly, but in the end he was shut out just like Victor.
Lois and Fabro turned to the next house with shit-chewing faces.
‘Are you sure your next house will be like this?’
But no way, they catch people… … .
“Ah, who is knocking on someone else’s house as if they were breaking down the front door?”
“Is that Miss Erica, Dexter Tower owner’s disciple? … .”
“go away!”
The owner of the third house appeared with a clear and beautiful voice, flowing red hair, and a bright appearance.
As soon as she opened the door, she swore harshly and then closed the door with a bang.
“These… … .”
Lois’s expression became even more strained due to repeated door-blocking.
It meant that his patience was slowly reaching its limit.
Looking at Lois, who looked like she was about to explode at any moment, Fabbro slightly shook his head.
‘Well, you’ve been patient for a long time… … .’
If Lois could put up with this much bullying due to her personality, she showed great patience.
If he didn’t want anything from them, he would have exploded already and several times.
“Whoa… … . good… “For now, let’s go to the next house.”
Lois once again made a sign of patience and turned away.
The two landlords she had visited a little while ago flashed through Lois’s mind.
‘Those two too… ‘It wasn’t human.’
Floria, whose eyes were covered with black bandages, met in the second house.
Lois was able to recognize her presence right away.
‘It’s a clear and pure energy… … .’
Is there any non-human being that has an energy that is so similar to nature?
There was only one conclusion.
‘Elf.’
An elf who does not easily appear in the human world.
The fact that it existed in a village that could be said to be in the middle of nowhere was surprising.
And the owner of the third house, a red-haired beauty, Erica.
Even Lois was confused about her identity.
‘It’s definitely not human… ‘What is it?’
Even though she is a dragon, Lois still lacks much experience, so she was not able to easily guess Erica’s identity.
While Lois was worrying about Erica’s identity, they arrived at the last house.
Bang bang-.
“Stay! “Do you have Douglas?”
Now Fabbro knocks on the door automatically.
The last house responded much faster than the previous houses we visited.
“What kind of guy!”
The door bursts open.
“huh?”
Favreau’s gaze turned downward.
This is because the other person’s head was visible where a normal person’s waist would be.
Douglas, the owner of the house, also frowned at Favreau blocking the door.
“What is this?”
“that… “Are you sure you are Douglas, Dexter Tower’s disciple?”
“right. “What are you doing, making a fuss in front of someone else’s house?”
Douglas grumbles nervously.
His left sleeve was loose.
When Lois saw this, Lee Chae flashed across her eyes.
Meanwhile, one-armed Douglas clicked his tongue as he looked at Favreau.
“How about it? With flowers in your hair? Was he crazy?”
“… … .”
Favreau’s face crumpled at Douglas’ words.
At that moment, Favreau and Douglas’ eyes met.
“huh?!”
“ok?!”
The two looked at each other for a while.
It was Douglas who spoke first.
“Sniff? Tteokdae, what are you? “It definitely smells like our kind?”
“you… de… Warp?”
“Then am I a dwarf or an elf? More than that, are you part of our clan? No, this is… I think it’s mixed up? “Mixed blood with humans?”
“Well, is that so?”
“No matter what, we, the dwarven race, produce something like this? “Are you a mutant?”
Douglas, he was none other than a dwarf.
Fabro, who was meeting his compatriot for the first time in a long time, looked at Douglas with half surprise and half joy.
But the surprise was short-lived.
‘Huh! ‘Oh my god?!’
Fabro hurriedly thought of something and desperately closed the door.
Favreau, with a thoughtful face, gaped at Douglas.
‘Run away! ‘Run away!’
Since I couldn’t make a sound, I opened my mouth as much as I could and made a signal.
But unfortunately, his signal did not reach the poor dwarf in front of him.
“What? “You’ve been speaking well so far, so why are you suddenly acting like a mute?”
‘You stuffy dwarf!’
Even though the other party did not notice, Favreau gave endless signals.
It was a desperate struggle to save one poor dwarf from what was to come.
But unfortunately, the frustrated dwarf in front of him couldn’t understand Fabro’s signal.
Furthermore, someone who should never have known understood Fabreau’s signal first.
[What are you doing now?]
Favreau’s shoulders twitched.
He sighed inwardly.
At the same time, I prayed for the peace of the dwarf in front of me.
‘… I did my best. The rest is up to you.’
At the same time, Fabro quietly walked away.
As a result, Douglas and Lois’ eyes met in a straight line.
“huh?”
The moment he came face to face with the small child standing behind his large compatriot, Douglas felt his only hand shaking.
At the same time, my mind is turning completely white.
‘This, this?’
It was a fear imprinted in my instincts.
And he knew exactly what a phenomenon like this meant.
Douglas, lost in thought, cleared his throat.
“De, de, de… … .”
[Up to there. If you say one more word… … . know?]
“Turn it off!”
Douglas hastily covered his mouth.
The corner of Lois’s mouth quirked up at the sight of him with tears in her eyes.
“Wow, I got it right at the last minute.”
The stress that had built up while living in three different homes was completely relieved when I met Douglas.
The smile on Lois’s lips deepened.
On the other hand… … .
‘It’s a shame… … .’
The pain of mutual sympathy flashed through Fabreau’s eyes as he watched Douglas.
