Episode 87 With a knife in your mouth (4)
The host, overwhelmed by Royce’s spirit, didn’t know what to do and broke into a cold sweat.
Then, the staff quickly looked around to find someone.
“Lord Dexter Tower! “Is the owner of Dexter Top there?”
“I am here.”
Dexter suddenly stood up from one of the seats.
So many eyes focused on him.
Dexter smiled at this.
‘haha.’
His gaze fell on the white back of Lois’ head sitting in the front row.
The corners of his mouth slowly rise along with him.
Dexter responded as if it was no big deal to the look in the emcee’s eyes that wanted an explanation.
“Hehe, the title is wrong. I am not a tower owner, but a former tower owner. “I handed over the top management position to that guy a little while ago.”
“… … ?!”
Dexter’s remarks caused a stir everywhere.
The host asked back, surprised by the unexpected words.
“Ji, are you really saying this? That little kid… “You’re the owner of the tower?”
“I see.”
An answer without the slightest hesitation.
Blake heard this and muttered as if it were absurd.
“Huh, no matter how much it doesn’t look like a castle tower, have you ever seen such a ridiculous case?”
It was a small voice, almost like a mutter, but there was no way Lois, who was sitting right away, could not hear it.
Sparks flew in Lois’ eyes.
‘Have you said everything, old man?’
Lois rolled her eyes, but Blake snorted and ignored it.
The chaos in the presentation hall showed no signs of calming down easily.
The announcement has been delayed longer than expected due to the sudden appearance of the youngest saint tower owner.
It was then.
match-.
The sound of applause echoed through the auditorium.
The main character who made the sound was none other than Ron Gremion.
He spoke in a calm tone.
“Everyone please calm down. Whether you hand over the position of tower owner to a child or to someone who is about to die, that is the unique domain of the Tower of Wishes. “It’s not our business to interfere.”
“… … .”
The uproar in the crowd died down as Ron spoke.
“And how long are you going to leave them like that?”
Ron’s gaze pointed to those who were dumbfounded by the situation that suddenly occurred while he was about to present.
Only then did the tower owners come to their senses and turn their gaze forward.
The host slightly bowed his head towards Ron.
It was a thank you to Ron for organizing the messy situation for me.
After responding with a light smile, Ron looked at Lois’ profile.
The child is staring straight ahead as if the current situation has nothing to do with him.
In fact, although he didn’t show it, Ron was secretly surprised.
A child who looks only about 7 years old is now the owner of a castle tower.
Even looking back on the history of the Autumn Continent, it was an unprecedented event.
‘What on earth are you thinking, Dexter Tower?’
If you don’t know about Lois and Dexter’s deal, Ron’s questions will remain unanswered for the rest of his life.
Putting aside the difficult question, Ron turned his gaze forward.
Whatever the situation, this was the site of an academic festival held for the first time in five years.
Rather than the birth of the youngest pagoda owner in history, it was more important to see the results of the monks who have worked hard over the past five years.
The public’s attention, including Ron’s, turned to the presentation hall.
The next presenter, who was standing like a rolled up barley sack, cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Hmm… hello. My name is Hunon, the chief research expert who will be presenting research on the White Tree Tower. I feel very honored to be standing in front of the seniors I always respect and the juniors who will lead the future… … .”
The presentation of the next castle tower was in a very standard format.
After a brief introduction to the castle tower and the research topic and goals, a flower pot was brought in.
Two different trees were planted in one flower pot that came into the presentation hall.
Broadleaf trees and coniferous trees.
Trees of completely different species were placed on top of the pre-prepared drinking table.
When preparations were completed, the presenter shouted.
“This is the theory of plant-based trait conjugation developed at Baekmok Castle Tower.”
Light emanates from a flower pot behind the presenter, who confidently shouts out.
“oh!”
A faint gasp erupted from the audience upon seeing the scene revealed in the light.
Two small trees planted in one pot.
The two trees, which had taken on different appearances, suddenly disappeared, leaving only one large tree in their place.
It is a tree that has both broad leaves and needle-like leaves.
Most of the people in the hall were monks, but they also showed curiosity when they saw the two trees become one.
Afterwards, when the presenter of White Tree Castle Tower concluded the demonstration and said he would take questions, hands came up from all over.

Questions pouring in quickly.
How long did the research take?
Or how much attribute power goes into it, etc.
All in all, it was a simple and acceptable question.
Lois, who was quietly listening to this, was distorted.
‘Look at these?’
Even at a glance, there were no questions that were difficult to answer.
As her judgment was distorted, the corners of Lois’ mouth automatically became crooked.
‘They are very close to each other.’
Probably at the beginning of the announcement.
They seemed to be afraid that if they accidentally touched the first speaker, an embarrassing question would be asked about their turn.
But there was someone who didn’t notice that.
‘Is this how the presentation should be written? Since ancient times, presenters have to be greeted with questions.’
Even though it was the first announcement of the Tower of Desire, it was bombarded with questions.
He smiled slightly to himself and continued to listen to the questions.
“Ask a question, Master Blake.”
“What is the advantage of such combined trees?”
“There are several benefits. To give a few representative examples, different fruits grow on the same tree, or if you mix a species that is weak to pests and diseases but grows easily with a species that is resistant to pests and diseases but does not grow easily, a new species with both characteristics is created. “That’s it.”
“Oh, I see.”
Blake’s voice was so soft that it was hard to believe that he had asked Dexter a rude question just moments ago.
Afterwards, several castle towers dealing with wooden properties, such as the White Tree Castle Tower, continued to ask questions, and it seemed like the Q&A session ended like that.
Lastly, if a pure white hand hadn’t come up.
“hmm… … .”
A small hand popped up next to Blake.
The presenter looked like he was wondering what to do after seeing this.
Since the child was officially declared to be the owner of the long-awaited tower, he could not ignore Royce’s question.
The presenter let out a light sigh and said.
“Okay, ask the question.”
I gave Lois the right to ask questions, but I wasn’t respectful.
At this, the corners of Lois’ eyes rose slightly, but soon subsided.
He stood up on his chair and looked at the presenter.
“This is Royce, owner of the Tower of Desire.”
“I know.”
“I found the research you showed interesting.”
“Thank you. So the question is?”
A presenter from the White Tree Castle Tower who looks sad.
However, his expression suddenly changed at the question that followed.
“The idea of combining two species with different traits seems like a great idea, but that tree that was created that way… “How long can I live?”
“… … ?!”
The White Tree Tower’s presenter looked visibly embarrassed by Royce’s question.
‘Hehe.’
Lois, realizing that her question had hit the nail on the head, smiled slightly.
The presenter responded, trying to control his embarrassment as much as possible.
“It’s still in the development stage… … .”
“How much can I buy?”
“It needs a little improvement… … .”
“So how long is the lifespan?”
“… … .”
Presenter of the Silent White Tree Tower.
The owner of the White Tree Castle Tower also looked visibly embarrassed by Royce’s question.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone’s eyes turned to the presenter.
The presenter of the White Tree Castle Tower, who was conflicted, answered while wiping away cold sweat.
“… “It’s one month.”
“How much?”
“I said one month.”
“Then will that tree die in a month?”
“… okay.”
A commotion spread throughout the hall.
Ignoring this, Lois continued speaking.
“hmm… Two trees that could live for decades on their own if left alone are killed in one month? So, will the fruit grow properly?”
“… … .”
The presenter of White Tree Castle Tower was embarrassed by the sharp question that hit his bones and fidgeted.
“Why did you hide that fact?”
“Rather than specifically hiding it… .”
“Aha, no one asked so you didn’t have to tell me?”
“yes!”
“Then you must have kept it a secret for the rest of your life if no one asked about it?”
“Well, that’s not true… … . Since it is still in the early stages of development, it was a problem that could be easily solved with improvements… … .”
“Aha, it was a problem that could be improved. All right. Yes. All you have to do is improve it.”
“… … .”
“Whether it takes 10 years, 20 years, or 100 years. “It was a problem that could be solved if we continued to develop it through successive generations, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Ahang, I understand.”
After saying that, Lois sat back down comfortably in her seat.
Then he glanced at Blake sitting next to him.
“Hmm… … .”
Blake must have sensed Lois’ gaze and cleared his throat uncomfortably.
What Royce said is to inherit and develop over generations.
He realized that this was a sarcasm to the question he had asked a little while ago in his presentation on the Tower of Desire, ‘Will it be better if it is improved?’
Lois’s storm of questions passed by.
“Well, then this concludes the White Tree Castle Tower’s presentation.”
The presenter at the White Tree Castle Tower quickly wrapped up his presentation and disappeared.
However, the buzz that spread among the audience did not seem to disappear easily.
In the midst of the chaos, Dexter could barely hold back the laughter that was about to burst out as he looked at the back of Lois’ head.
‘Is this why you asked for the tower owner position?’
The right to ask questions belongs only to the owners of the castle towers who participated in the academic festival.
Therefore, you had to be the owner of the tower to ask a question.
For Royce, the position of tower owner was just a means to ask questions.
‘Hehehehe!’
Dexter tried to calm down the corners of his mouth that kept smirking.
He looked at the castle tower owners sitting in the VIP seats with eyes full of coolness and sadness.
‘You have to be prepared.’
Even though he was young, he was a child with a gift of speech that could be admired by many adults.
Also, how smart is it to be smart?
He knew that better than anyone else, having been tormented by Lois for the past two months.
‘Cluck, the bomb went off.’
Dexter’s eyes were full of joy as he looked at the VIP table.
Meanwhile, Royce is sitting in the VIP chair, leisurely crossing her legs and waiting for the next announcement.
He sank into his chair.
In contrast to his relaxed-looking face, his eyes shone brightly.
‘These kids… ‘Let’s give it a try.’
What a great presentation you brought.
‘I’ll dig it up in detail.’
Lois bit the knife in her mouth.
And of course, the place where the tip of the sword is headed will be the castle towers that will be announced later.
