Episode 73 Recognition (2)
Dexter looked at Lois blankly.
‘This guy… … .’
Lois saying she wanted to be recognized seemed absurd, but at the same time, I liked this ambition.
‘Tsk, if the other guys were even half as good as this guy, they would have given up on me as the owner of the tower right away.’
Aside from her young age, Royce was perfect in terms of talent and personality to take over as top owner.
“How will you accept my challenge?”
Look at that confidence there.
Who would see this guy as a 10-year-old kid?
Dexter chuckled as he looked at Lois, who was smiling quite provocatively.
Then, like Lois, he responded with a provocative look.
“OK. “Just give it a try!”
“great. “Don’t go back later and say something else.”
“Don’t worry. If you do something worthy of my recognition, I will unconditionally hand you the position of top owner. “Even if it’s tomorrow!”
Just like that, Lois and Dexter’s eyes collided.
Dexter and Lois glared at each other for a while.
Their snowball fight ended with Lois turning away.
“Then rest! see you tomorrow!”
Dexter stuck out his tongue as he watched Lois turning around coolly.
“Is that kid really a ten-year-old?”
Are all geniuses this precocious?
no… Are you clever?
Dexter, who was thinking so, tilted his head and muttered.
“Now that I think about it, how many days has it been since that guy came here?”
Dexter, who was thinking deeply, finally realized.
The fact that it has been less than ten days since the child named Lois came to the Tower of Desire.
Dexter muttered helplessly.
“her… I want this… “It felt like we lived together for a few years.”
Is it because Royce’s presence was so strong?
The hustle and bustle that I’ve been seeing for a long time doesn’t seem that bad.
If Lois leaves like this, the house will feel empty… … .
Dexter was lost in thought for a while and looked at the door where Lois disappeared.

The next morning.
land- land-.
Dexter opened his eyes in surprise at the strange sound ringing in his ears.
“Huh?!”
Dexter raised his upper body like he was having a seizure.
His eyebrows furrowed mercilessly.
“Hey, this guy!”
Lately, all the strange things that have been happening in the Tower of Desire have been centered around a certain kid.
That’s why Dexter was confident.
This sound that has been disturbing his sleep since morning is also his doing.
‘Noisy isn’t that bad!’
Anyway, there hasn’t been a single quiet day since I brought him in.
Dexter threw away yesterday’s sentiments.
“What are you doing again?!”
He crumpled his face, kicked off his shoes, and ran outside.
His steps headed towards the place where the noise was coming from.
land- land-.
The loud sound of metal was coming from behind the Tower of Desire.
Dexter, who noticed this, expressed doubt.
‘Where?’
Located behind the tower was a workshop that had been empty for a long time.
It was a workshop, but in reality it was no different from an abandoned blacksmith shop.
The owner of the blacksmith shop was originally Douglas, but after he was kicked out of the tower, it was never opened.
However, the sound of metal was coming from that workshop since morning.
land- land-.
‘What on earth are you doing?!’
Dexter walked quickly and threw open the door to the workshop.
Then a rush of hot air greeted Dexter.
Dexter’s eyebrows frown at the same time.
“What is this?”
Dexter looked into the workshop with a sullen expression.
Inside, Douglas and Fabro were busy swinging hammers here and there in the workshop, while Victor, Erica, and Floria were sweeping and polishing various parts of the workshop.
Dexter approached them and asked as if they were dumbfounded.
“What on earth are you doing this morning?”
“huh? “Are you here?”

Douglas, who was about to swing his hammer, glanced.
Looking at Dexter, who was full of irritation, Douglas responded as if it was no big deal.
“It’s been so long since I’ve been here that I have a lot of things to fix. Rekindle the fire in the furnace and replace the old and rusty ones. It’s easier than doing it alone because Fabro is there. “I was wondering what to do with my arms because they looked like this.”
“okay… I kind of know what you’re doing, but… … .”
Dexter’s shoulders are shaking.
Eventually, a shout came out of his mouth.
“Why is the guy who was kicked out coming back and fixing up the workshop?”
In response to Dexter’s question with rolling eyes, the five, including Favreau, just stared at the ceiling.
‘That’s right… … .’
‘Why are we here?’
‘How did it end up like this…? … .’
Could it be that they gathered together because they wanted to?
We gathered in the morning because Lois called us to help clean the workshop.
If you think about it, they were victims too.
Therefore, the answer to Dexter’s question came from behind.
From the instigator of all events.
“Oh, I asked you to fix that.”
“huh?”
Dexter’s head turned.
Lois was standing there with her hands in her pockets.
“Was it really you?”
No way, they are going to catch people.
It was like that today too.
Lois said with a grin at Dexter’s reaction.
“If you want to be recognized by the top owner, you have to work diligently.”
“What on earth does that have to do with this?”
“Of course there is!”
Lois snapped her fingers.
“If you think of the Tower of Desire, it’s a piece! “When you think of a piece, isn’t it the Tower of Desire?”
“… “That’s right.”
Dexter’s expression clearly revealed his true intentions: ‘What are you talking about?’
Lois lightly ignored this and spoke in a confident voice.
“Then, from the standpoint of aiming for the owner of the tower that Myeongsaek has longed for, we need to make at least one piece!”
“Making something? who? you?”
“Then who will make it if I make it?”
“… … .”
Dexter looked at Lois as if he were dumbfounded.
Dexter, who had been staring blankly at Lois for a while, suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! Are you making objects? you?”
“… … .”
“Uh-huh, oh my, it’s a boat. Oh my, I’m dying.”
“… “What is that pretentious laughter and pretentious ridicule?”
Lois’ eyes narrowed.
Dexter chuckled and answered.
“You bastard, do you know that something is so easy to make?”
“There’s nothing you can’t make.”
“If anyone could build something just because they studied some theory, the Tower of Wishes wouldn’t have existed, Inseok! Tsk, you look down on the craftsmanship… … .”
“I didn’t look down on him. “I’m taking on the challenge because I think it’s worth it.”
“Hehe, I guess so. Then, give it a try.”
“… Grandpa’s eyes are very sinister. And I feel really bad.”
“Hehehe.”
Lois burned brightly at the very provocative look in Dexter’s eyes that told her to do it if she wanted to.
He opened his mouth, glaring at Dexter with a look in his eyes that said he would never lose.
“What would you do if I made a real object?”
“Tsk tsk, try it. “I don’t know what kind of object you will make, but if you make something truly worthy, I will have to approve of it.”
“great. “I’ll see you later.”
“Come on, tsk tsk tsk. “Do your best.”
Dexter sneered like that and left.
He waved his hand as if to tell me to do well.
And until then he didn’t know.
His own ridicule had inflamed a dragon’s pride.
“Grandpa… “We’ll see.”
Seeing Lois burning hotly, the remaining people quietly moved to their seats.
‘hmm… Because it has nothing to do with me… … .’
‘I’ll just do what I’m told…’ … .’
‘Let’s clean up…’ … .’
land- land-.
Soon, the sound of repairs being made to the empty workshop rang out again.
* * *
A week after that.
Bang- Bang-.
The area behind the Desire Tower was noisy from early morning.
“… “Is it today too?”
Dexter perked up his ears at the loud sound of metal ringing in his ears.
‘Are you really doing this?’
No matter how genius he is, how would a ten-year-old child know what a piece is or how difficult it is to make it?
I thought that if I tried it myself, I would realize something, so I lightly provoked it… … .
The problem was that he was really doing something.
‘Aren’t we going to make a real object like this?’
Slowly, my anxiety grew.
Haven’t you already been seriously burned by this guy’s genius on several occasions?
The absurd thought that this guy would really make something came to mind.
‘a little… Should I come and see it?’
Thinking that, Dexter lifted his heavy buttocks.
Bang- Bang-.
Dexter looked at the workshop where the sound of metal continued to ring.
‘What on earth are you making?’
The sizes and shapes of objects varied greatly depending on their purpose.
And the technology used to create the object also changes.
‘I heard a sound coming from inside… ‘I see they make something quite large.’
The sound of a hammer coming from inside continued for several days.
If it was possible to use iron to strike it, the object that Lois was making would not be small at all.
‘wait… Now that I think about it, does he also know field field techniques?’
Even so, he was too young.
However, the sound of hammering coming from inside was very constant.
This means that the person hammering is hitting evenly with a certain force.
Even if Lois had picked up a hammer since she was 1 year old, it would have been impossible.
‘Is he that dwarf mixed race guy? Or Douglas?’
Lois would be able to pamper them.
In response, Dexter made an assuring expression.
‘Where does this guy get his medicine?’
Dexter, who now had a good understanding of Lois, opened the door to the workshop.
Then, a rush of heat came from inside the public security guard.
His eyes turned to the furnace located in the center of the workshop.
“… … ?!”
Dexter’s eyes widened as if torn apart.
“Me, me, me?!”
The person hitting the hammer under the bright light of the furnace was none other than Lois.
A sight you won’t believe even if you see it with your own eyes.
‘This, this…’ Does that make sense?’
But it was reality.
The small child swung a hammer bigger than my arm, and a clear sound erupted each time.
‘Even if he swung the hammer inside his mother’s womb, this doesn’t make sense!’
Dexter’s pupils fluttered.
And just then, Douglas and Fabro came up behind him.
“huh? “What are you doing here?”
“What are you doing here?”
They looked at the frozen Dexter curiously.
Dexter asked urgently.
“Um, that guy… “Did you say that you learned the art of night hunting from someone a long time ago?”
“iced coffee.”
Douglas nodded as if he finally understood Dexter’s question.
How can you not understand Dexter’s surprise?
Because I felt the same way a few days ago.
At this, Douglas slightly shook his head and said.
“What kind of actor is that youngest… “The first time you held a hammer was five days ago.”
“What?!”
Looking at Dexter who was shocked, Douglas patted his waist with one arm.
As if comforting Dexter’s despondent feelings.
“I’m just saying, so let’s move on. In the world… “There are beings that we cannot understand with our common sense.”
“That’s right. “It’s amazing that there are people who are born with talents that others don’t have at all.”
Favreau added additional explanation to Douglas’ words.
However, the faces of Douglas and Favreau who said that looked very empty.
The situation from a few days ago was repeated in their minds.
