Episode 284 Don’t drag me in
I blinked.
Resistance? Was there something like that at the top?
Or is it that the group that started outside is still continuing on the tower?
The existence of a resistance means that there is something that you want to overthrow.
I stared blankly at Shapin.
He tilts his head slightly as if he doesn’t know anything, then smiles brightly.
It feels like I’m being told to ask, but I don’t intend to do that.
‘What are you going to do? It’s just annoying. Where is there an NPC without a story?’
It’s not just Shapin.
Aren’t you all the people who came to the tower because the world was destroyed?
There would have been conflict and confusion, divided powers and groups, whatever it was.
Let’s not dig too deep. There’s already so much to do.
But why, I have this feeling that I’m going to get involved with some resistance group or something…
If you think about it, it’s already entangled.
Because Shapin belongs to a place called White Horn or something.
I don’t need to tell you what I’m up against.
‘White tree.’
A group created by high-status celestials.
It was said that Shapin was created to maintain power in the heavens.
I should stop by too.
Let’s think about this little by little.
Since the favorability rating of the Celestials has increased, I think things will work out somehow.
More than that… … .
“Good performance.”
[Angel’s Horn Dagger (S)]
– A dagger made from the horn of an angel from the Second Heaven.
-It has powerful divine power.
-Can cut through demons.
[Wingless Angel’s Feathers (AAA)]
-One of the feathers left behind by a second heavenly angel when he dies.
-Material for making powerful sacred weapons!
-It is said that in the Second Heaven, a part of the soul is contained in feathers.
-If you bring it to your own kind, you may be treated according to the feather owner’s treatment?
The quest rewards are pretty good.
Among the dagger options, the one that cuts the sword is probably… … .
“You mean to break the connection between magic and curses?”
Advertisements
“Yes. Either break the bonds of those who have sold their souls to the devil, or remove the curse from a cursed object.”
It might be useful if the circumstances are right.
If I modify it a little, I can break the curse that’s attached to me.
They all left and are also S-rank.
As for the feathers, you can use them to make weapons later, sell them to Lilka, or keep them.
This quest has a generous reward compared to its difficulty.
I guess that’s because the disaster was resolved first.
If it were normal, I would have had to bring the remains and relics to avoid the collapsing stone tower that could appear at any time.
I’d rather take it easy.
“Take this. It’s what you promised.”
She hands over her relics.
A cubic necklace made of an unknown metal.
“You’ll need it to get into the White Tree. It’s their identity. I don’t know exactly where the White Tree is. I just know it’s on the 70th floor.”
“That’s enough.”
You can just go up and look around.
I took the necklace and put it away.
The White Tree, a group of celestials of royal and noble origin.
That’s the key to getting in there.
It’s still strange.
Shapin has no good feelings towards Kenrock.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that he is handing over the relics without any regrets.
Whether he knew what I was thinking or not, Shapin snapped his fingers and summoned a chair, where he sat down.
Also the chair I will sit on.
As I sat down naturally, Shapin looked at me secretly.
“I didn’t know you would bring the ashes. I wish I could repay you with more. If you don’t mind, I can do one thing… .”
“Oh, I had something to ask you anyway.”
He quickly interrupted her before she could continue talking.
If I get what I want, I get it. I don’t want to get what I don’t want.
It just so happens that she also wants something from me.
He leaned back against the back of the chair and opened the note.

Here are some notes and rules for the Doltap Tower that I thought might be helpful.
It kept happening.
“Chefin, you know how to conquer the 62nd floor, right?”
“… … .”
There is no answer.
Advertisements
Silence should be taken as affirmation.
“Since when did you know?”
“It’s been a few days.”
He paused for a moment, putting the note on the road.
That’s not what I’m trying to say.
Of course, it might have been easier if she had told me in advance, but I figured it out in my own way.
“The day I was first summoned here, Shapin blindfolded me. He said he was checking my safety. How did he do that? Unlike the other villagers, he didn’t even put curtains on the windows. He only did that after I arrived.”
At the time, I just passed without thinking about it, but now that I’ve cleared the 62nd floor, I know how dangerous it is.
Proof that you can survive by looking at the stone tower.
At the same time, it means that you can detect the cairn without being affected by it.
It was Shapin who covered my eyes inside the house and figured out whether there was a stone tower or not.
If I could figure out the location without being affected by the stone tower, I could seal it like I did.
That is, Shapin is… … .
“It’s not important to get off the 62nd floor, I guess, that guy… … .”
She pointed to the remains she was holding with her chin.
“They probably needed someone to collect Kenrock’s body.”
I took out the Angel Horn Dagger she had given me as a reward from my inventory.
A skull with broken horns was visible through the cloth.
“I have no intention of getting deeply involved. I don’t care what the story is about. Whatever you want, I just want it to end here.”
I already have a headache because of the tower cult and all that stuff.
I still have to do Lilka’s quest, and there are still quests left from the sage.
There were items that I still didn’t know how to use, and even those that were climbing the upper levels.
The world is already on the verge of destruction.
There is no answer if you solve each NPC’s individual grudge.
I don’t know what your purpose is, but you’re telling me not to get involved.
Especially when it comes to things like power struggles between NPCs.
How to react.
I glanced at her and she was smiling.
Unlike before, I mean it sincerely.
“You have a keen eye for detail? I’m really greedy. I know what you mean. But I’ll ask you just once. Do you plan on joining the White Horn?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“That’s too bad. But let’s not become bad friends.”
“That much is possible.”
I have no intention of antagonizing any NPC group either.
Someone else might have been tempted by Shapin’s recruitment.

Because if you get help from a force made up of NPCs, your chances of moving up will increase.
Even relationships with NPCs are only valid within the tower.
If you go outside, you won’t be interfered with in any way.
The problem is that I absolutely have to get to the 100th floor.
furthermore…….
‘There are already enough forces to watch over us.’
Helldying Kitchen, Framberg.
In addition, he is friendly with numerous NPCs.
Even Lilka has quite a strong influence.
There is no need to go to a place where it is unclear what the place is and where you will be pushed around by other large forces.
It’s obvious that they’ll ask for something in return for their support.
I hate that kind of thing.
Back to the main topic.
“You said earlier that you wanted to compensate me a little more, right? Please tell me some of the strategies that Shapin knows. I need them.”
“Of course. Anyway, I’m grateful to you.”
She takes a small notebook out of her bosom and hands it to me.
“This is what I organized while staying here.”
“It was nice meeting you, even if it was only for a short while.”
I got what I wanted.
I would have liked to rest a bit more, but it’s not too late to do that if you go to where village number 8 is.
I thought it would be annoying if I just hung around here.
-Paang!
I kicked my feet lightly.
There’s no need to get caught up, and there’s no need to walk slowly.
Shapin didn’t catch me either. He just watched me walk away.
Leaving her behind, I moved towards the place where village number 8 was.
* * *
“Should I upload it slowly?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
I sat down on a relatively flat rock and turned on the community.
I’m thinking of uploading strategies for the 61st and 62nd floors.
Bald Man, Licky, and Nyangpun must have climbed to the 61st floor by now.
With their skills, they’d win in a duel no matter who was on the 60th floor.
As expected.
[Nimary Baldness]: Aaaah! Gongduuuuu, where are you!
Advertisements
[Nimary hair loss]: Are you going to live with this sadness?
I see a post by the bald guy.
Why is it like this again?
You sent me a private message too?
[Nimary Baldness]: Gongdu… I believe in a man’s loyalty.
[Nimary Baldness]: If I get a blind date, I’ll go up to a few floors, so just say something!
Oh, that’s right. You said you’d set me up on a blind date.
You didn’t say when though.
But he’s not the only one.
[Lick the top of your head]: You rotten bastards, are you going to use the top for yourself? Mr. Quaak, just like that.
[Meow Punch]: Licky (Solo) is making a fuss, you guys!
[Lick the crown]: Nyangpun, where are you? ^^ Do you miss me today?
[Meow Punch]: The cat just hit me, Your Honor. Trust me.
Why are they doing this again?
It looks like the two are separated.
That could be because open fields mostly drop randomly.
“What happened to make you do this?”
I scratched my head and looked around at communities I hadn’t seen before.
“…ah.”
I soon found out why.
There were a few posts that had a lot of comments from people in the union.
A post with photos taken with camera skills.
There were some familiar faces there.
[Sodamsodam]: One shot from the 60th floor cafeteria!
(picture)
Oppa, when you take pictures, open your face a bit!
On the table, Oh Jing-hyeok was holding Kim So-dam’s hand with a stiff face.
I thought the two of them were strangely attached to each other, and they definitely did!
“Oh Jing-hyeok, you punk! Even a guy like this is dating, so why are there only frogs and weird people next to me?”
“Track?”
Why? You can throw a tantrum, Mr. Deokchun.
Who can I meet when you, Jjoltjolmeon, Geumbok, and Eungalchi are right next to me?
People say you take a step back when they see you?
It’s all their fault that I can’t meet people.
Yeah, that’s right.

I clicked my tongue slightly and started to upload the strategy guide.
[Petit Gongdu]: Fairy☆Jeong, etc. Jang!
Hello, friends! I’m back!
Everyone is climbing hard, right? I see some people have already reached the 60th floor! (Clap, clap, clap!)
Of course, there are people who date in the very inhumane tower.
These days, things are… … ! Ahem!
Jja-ran!
That’s not the point.
I’ve brought a walkthrough for you guys!
.
.
.
It’s time to write a strategy article with all your heart and soul.
“Yeah.”
I thought I heard Deokchun sigh.
* * *
The point in time when Jo Hyun-soo uploaded the strategy article.
Chefin, left alone, was enjoying tea time at an outdoor table.
It was a new item that I had never used before, as if it had been prepared for today.
A teapot with a pattern and teapot that was saved in the cupboard.
There was a small mound at her feet as she sipped tea with a simple snack.
The place where Kenrock’s remains are buried.
It was so shabby, covered only with dirt.
“Now you are at my feet, Kenrock?”
Shapin smiled, putting his foot on it.
She enjoyed the refreshing breeze and put down her teacup for a moment to look at Kenrock’s belongings.
Items with the family crest engraved on them.
They’re just trinkets, not items or anything.
Shapin put the gold ring on his finger and took it off, clicking his tongue slightly.
“How important do you think something like this is… Well, okay. I guess I’ll just decorate the way I go.”
-Kuduk
A ring that crumbles when you clench your fist.
Shapin, who had been dusting off gold crumbs from the mound, looked up at the sky.
It’s coming.
A seagull with a tie around its neck.
Advertisements
The thing that circled the sky as if it thought it was a bird of prey landed on the table.
Shapin, who was familiarly stroking the seagull’s head, handed it the letter he had prepared in advance and Kenrock’s belongings.
“That will be 1,500 points, sir.”
As the seagull opens its beak, a man’s voice is heard.
Post office on the tower, seagull.
It was a group that allowed NPCs to communicate with each other.
“Send him to White Horn Headquarters, within four days at the latest. Before the meeting with the other Resistance officers. There’s a pretty useful person climbing the tower.”
“I will deliver it to you within 3 days.”
It was also a place that spread its influence throughout the tower, no less than the Hwajokuk.
Fooddeuk.
The seagull took flight.
