Episode 69 Tower of Desire (6)
Dexter, who roughly guessed the reason why Lois came, sighed and asked.
“ha… “Do you have any questions?”
“… … .”
“First, read through. Don’t ask any questions later. Did you understand?”
Dexter, who had just said what he wanted to say, was about to close the door.
chin-.
Lois’ hand blocked the door.
Dexter was startled once again because the door didn’t budge.
‘I’ve felt it since last time… ‘What kind of kid is so strong?!’
It was shocking that no matter how old I was, I couldn’t do anything about the door that the little boy was pulling.
But that wasn’t the only thing that surprised him.
“sleep.”
“… … ?”
Lois held out a book.
Seeing this, a question mark appeared above Dexter’s head.
Lois said, thrusting the book in front of Dexter.
“I saw it all. “Give me the next volume.”
“… “What?”
A look of absurdity appeared in Dexter’s eyes.
He scolded Lois, looking at her with stern eyes.
“Where is this guy playing pranks?”
“Isn’t this a joke? “I really saw it all.”
“… really?”
“really.”
Dexter cleared his throat and said, his clear eyes showing no lies at all.
“Huh… Joe, good. Trust me. But, a book is not something you can just glance at. You have to look at everything and memorize it until it wears out… … .”
“I memorized everything.”
“… … .”
Dexter was at a loss for words again when he heard Lois’s voice interrupting his sentence.
He had a really dumbfounded look on his face.
Dexter burst out in anger.
“You bastard! “Oh my!”
“Is it true?”
“OK! If you’re that confident, why don’t you check with me!”
Dexter took Lois’ book away with such angry eyes.
He turned the pages roughly.
Dexter asked, roughly unfolding a random page.
“Tell me about the correlation between places where natural objects are often found and attribute stones!”
“Page 78, line 14. Places where natural items are created with a high frequency are places with a high density of elemental power. This is a condensation of attribute power… … .”
Lois recited the contents of the book line by line without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Dexter’s face went blank.
That’s how Lois’ explanation ended.
“what… Called?”
“Page 78, line 14… … .”
Lois repeated the same words she had said a moment ago, as if to prove that what she had done was not a fluke.
This time, Dexter opened his eyes and read along with what Lois had said on page 78, line 14.
As Lois continued to read, Dexter’s expression became more bizarre.
Finally, the reading was over, and Dexter hurriedly turned the page again.
“What about the artificial object, or the third paragraph on page 156?”
“An artificial object is an object that imitates the path through which the attribute power of a natural object flows… … .”
Once again, Lois’s unstoppable reading continued.
After that, Dexter asked two more questions.
Each time, Lois answered without hesitation.
In the end, Dexter had no choice but to admit it.
‘This guy is really… … ?’
Dexter asked with a completely different sense of bewilderment than before.
“This… It’s over 200 pages… The whole… Did you memorize it? really?”
“really.”
“In just such a short amount of time?”
“yeah.”
Lois’s attitude as if she was asking something obvious left Dexter speechless.
Seeing Dexter looking at her blankly, Lois held out both hands politely.
“Please give me the next book.”
At this point, Dexter couldn’t say anything more.
What would you say to a guy who memorized the entire book?
“… “Please wait a moment.”
After saying that, Dexter took out the next book from the bookshelf and handed it to Lois.

Lois accepted this and quickly disappeared holding the book.
Dexter muttered while looking at Lois’ back.
“… “You accepted this absurd guy as your disciple.”
I thought he was an ordinary child, but now I think he is an ordinary person.
I can’t believe I memorized a book of over 200 pages in just 30 minutes.
Dexter stuck his tongue out.
‘That’s a good thing.’
I wondered when I would teach a child who had just entered the Tower of Desire, but he turned out to be a child who would grow up on his own even if I taught him roughly.
Dexter, slightly relieved, closed the door and went back to work.
Of course, that didn’t last long either.
Bang bang-.
“Give me the next book!”
“… already?”
“yes!”
“… … .”
When Lois appeared again 30 minutes later and asked her to hand over the next book, Dexter seemed to have no energy to be surprised and handed over the next book right away.
And that was where it started.
“Next volume!”
“… we are here.”
“Next volume!”
“It’s time.”
“next!”
“… … .”
Dexter is fed up with Lois, who shows up every thirty minutes and asks for the next book.
He shouted, his shoulders shaking.
“You son of a bitch! Even if you memorize everything, you might miss something, so review it again!”
“You won’t miss anything. “I memorized everything.”
“profit!”
Dexter, who knew the guy’s frightening memory, was angry, but had nothing to say.
If things continued like this, today’s work wouldn’t even start.
Dexter, bursting into tears and frustration, ran to the bookshelf.
Then he started carrying all the books on the bookshelf out the door.
Just like that, the books on the bookshelf gradually disappeared, and more than a hundred hardcover books piled up outside the door.
It was information about objects recorded at the Tower of Desire over the generations.
Finally, all the bookshelves were empty.
“This is it! No more! So don’t knock on the door!”
“yes!”
bang!
Dexter roughly closed the door and went inside.
Lois shouted, paying no heed to this.
“Twins!”
“yes!”
“yes!”
“I’ll give it to you, let’s carry this!”
“yep!”
“yes!”
It was Lois, pampering the twins with snacks and carrying books.
Not even a full day had passed since Lois had wandered into the Tower of Desire.
The foundation of the tower of aspirations that had been built for hundreds of years began to fall apart.
* * *
next day.
Dexter made a shocked expression when he saw the books piled up in front of the door and Lois with bright eyes shining in front of them.
Either way, Lois just politely held out her hand again.
“Is there anything else?”
“… does not exist.”
Hearing that empty voice, Lois withdrew her hand and gave a salty look.
“What kind of castle tower has this only book?”
“This damn kid… … .”
Dexter was so upset at Lois’s attitude that she called the purification of hundreds of years of history ‘this is the only way’ and tried to scream.
However, he soon let out a small sigh and soothed his sore stomach.
‘It’s karma… ‘It’s my karma.’
It was his own fault for bringing in a genius he couldn’t handle to the tower.
Who would have predicted that the tower would be depleted in just one day?
Look at those cold eyes.
It’s like, ‘There’s nothing more to learn? Doesn’t that sound like ‘boring’?
At this, something surged in Dexter’s heart.
He shouted as if he were boasting.
“You idiot, what you memorized is just a theory! “No matter how faithful the theory is, what can you do? You have to apply it and use it in practice!”
“Ohh? is it so?”
“Yes!”
“how?”
“How do I do this? What does the Tower of Desire do? Isn’t this a place where artificial objects are made? Then we have to make it!”
“indeed… … .”
“I still have something prepared for you.”
“What?”
Lois’ eyes shined brightly.
Now that I had mastered the theoretical part almost, if not completely, all that was left was to apply it.
I couldn’t help but be excited to hear that Dexter had prepared something for this.
Dexter glanced away at the burdensome gaze of his late-born student.
What his eyes landed on was the door that had been neatly repaired this time.
“It’s about time.”
As soon as there was a small murmur, the door to the Tower of Desire burst open.
A group of people coming in beyond.
Dexter’s face changed slightly when he saw this.
“Are you here?”
“It has been a while since we last met.”
“Tap owner, it’s been a while.”
“Why on earth did you bring us all here?”
Those who came in from outside the door were Victor, a werewolf, Erica, a joiner, and Floria, an elf.
And even Douglas, who glances sideways at Lois and enters.
Indeed, for the first time in a long time, the members of the Tower of Desire gathered in one place.
Dexter gathered the disciples he had kicked out and opened his mouth.
“It’s been a while.”
“When are you going to kick us out, and what did you bring us together for?”
When Erica asked that question with a sullen expression on her face, Dexter answered calmly.
“No matter how much you left here, you are still disciples of the Tower of Desire. And after a long time, the youngest came into the tower. quite… No, he’s a very smart kid, so you guys can help him a lot.”
Dexter said and gently pushed Lois’ back.
Thanks to this, Lois took a step forward.
Erica’s face hardened when she saw this.
“Uh, you? You’re the kid who came to my house a few days ago, right? “You came with that big guy?”
“… “This is the kid who came to our house too.”
When they seemed to recognize her, Lois bowed her head.
“I’m the youngest! i look forward to!”
Douglas was the only one who responded to Lois’ cute and friendly greeting.
“Yes, yes! I’m counting on you… yo. this! If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask… yo. this.”
“… “Why are you talking like that?”
“What do you mean? “My speaking style was like this.”
Erica gave a strange look to Douglas’s bizarre behavior of adding the letter ‘yo’ to the end of every word.
Douglas, who had been watching Lois, made an excuse and slightly looked away.
There was a greeting between Royce and the members of the Tower of Desire, and Erica, who had a frown on her face, was the first to turn her back.
“Oh, what else can I say? Anyway, okay, I’m going!”
Erica waved her hand and walked away from the Tower of Desire at a brisk pace.
and.
“You are the youngest. I get it. See you later.”
“Hehe, maknae, please take care of me.”
Victor and Floria also reacted indifferently and left the tower.
“… … .”
A place where everyone left except Douglas.
In the midst of heavy silence, Lois opened her mouth with a look of bewilderment on her face.
“Grandpa… … .”
“Call me Tower Lord!”
“Grandpa Topju.”
“You son of a bitch!”
“Anyway, those are your grandfather’s students, right? “You don’t really listen to what grandpa says?”
“… … .”
In response to Lois’ question, Dexter looked at the ceiling and muttered softly.
“Wow, our tower is originally a place where personal tendencies are a bit strong… … .”
“but… “It started with my grandfather.”
“… … .”
Dexter couldn’t find anything to say to Lois’ words.
Because what he said was true.
Dexter brightened the mood with an awkward face.
“Ah, anyway, they will help. “If you don’t know anything about making objects, ask them.”
“… … .”
With only those words left, Dexter hurried into the room.
Isn’t it obvious to anyone that he is trying to pass on troublesome work to other disciples?
Lois, seeing this, stuck her tongue out.
“Is this just a collection of people in the corner of the room?”
Not only Dexter but also his so-called disciples were people who had no intention of leaving their homes.
Douglas, who was left alone as he could not escape Lois’ muttering, made an excuse instead.
“Haha, that… They are all people with a strong desire for research… … .”
“Hmm… … .”
It was then.
An uncomfortable groan came from Lois.
Douglas, who instinctively sensed a crisis, quietly took a step back.
And actually, Lois wasn’t in a very good mood.
‘Hey, these make me a very invisible person…’ No, it’s treated as an invisible dragon?’
At best, he even said hello to the younger guys first, but what came back was cold indifference.
The corner of Lois’s mouth curled up as she was completely ignored.
“Are you saying you’re treating me like an invisible dragon?”
In that case, all you have to do is go out like an invisible dragon.
because… … .
“The invisible dragon is very stubborn and has a nasty temper.”
“… yes?”
Douglas tilted his head, not knowing what Lois was talking about.
Then his shoulders trembled.
Because I had a feeling that something scary was going to happen.
“I need to establish some hierarchy, hehe.”
Douglas’ complexion became pale at Lois’ murderous smile.
