Episode 319 White Horn 66th Floor Branch
Ghanian? I thought I would see you someday, but I didn’t think I would meet you here.
Items I have.
[Spoon used by Ghanian]
-A silver spoon favored by the hero, Ghanian Jahimus.
-There are countless superstitions and jinxes for those who risk their lives.
-It’s just an ordinary silver spoon, but not to Ghanian.
Denium, Odelto, and Heida met on the 48th floor.
The war hero of the world that served as their background was Ghanian.
I thought he was strong, but I didn’t know he was a hero.
No, why do you call that kind of guy a lumberjack and not a hero?
If you’re a hero, you’ve probably climbed quite high up the tower, so why would you be in a place like this out of nowhere?
The actions are also somewhat light.
I used my power because I thought maybe it was someone with the same name.
[Ghanian Jahimus]
-War hero of the Saint Peace Empire.
-He was drafted as a lumberjack, but later built up his record and rose to the position of general!
– He was tired of the war and wanted to go down to the countryside when everything was over.
-In the end, the world will be destroyed, but Ghanian will return to farming.
I could only confirm that it was me.
I scratched my head.
I meet more people related to the Saint Peace Empire than I thought.
The wise man is like that, and so is Framberg.
That being said… … .
“Hey, why that crazy guy!”
Judging from the reaction of the Celestials, it seems they already know about Ghanian.
It seems that calling someone crazy isn’t a good expression.
“What if I bring that guy here!”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
The celestial woman grabs me by the collar and shakes me.
Then either tell me the exact directions or, since I don’t know, ask someone who knows the way.
“Is this the place that knows a lot about white trees?”
“No! No!”
“No way, it was written in the letter this guy showed me. It said something about defeating the white tree and such.”
“Did you show me the letter?”
“Haha, it just so happened.”
The celestial woman staggers back.

I guess you realized it was too late to back out.
“Whew, good. My name is Miner. I’m the White Horn branch manager on the 66th floor. Let’s go inside first.”
Miner looks up at the sky.
The weather was clear, but unidentified eyes were still following us.
“There’s nothing good about being out there. When you come in, block the entrance. You don’t want the wind to come in.”
With those words, Miner went down.
Ghanian and I also nodded and followed her.
-Kugu Palace
They didn’t forget to break the ceiling of the passageway to block the entrance.
Miner stopped when he heard that sound, but didn’t say anything.
* * *
The inside was not dark because it was inlaid with luminous stones.
Considering that the branch is located underground, the air quality is pretty good.
Judging from the lack of a fan, it seemed like some kind of device was used to create air.
At the end of the stairs, a door appeared. The rough iron door had a sharp horn drawn on it. That must be the symbol of the White Horn.
“Oh? Miner, are there any guests?”
As we entered the branch, a new celestial being appeared.
A handsome man wearing loose clothing. He had a sword on his waist and his long hair was tied back.
Unlike Shapin and Miner, it was noticeable that the severed horn was not covered with hair.
“Yes, the Evil Eye that Shapin was talking about. And what’s next to it? You know what I mean, right?”
“I know. We saw it once.”
“Who was it?”
“If you don’t remember, then don’t say anything.”
Pick, the smiling man stood up from his seat.
“It’s Whisper, Evil Eye.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
Is the 66th floor branch made up of these two people?
I looked around for any signs of life, but I couldn’t feel any more signs.
“There are a few more agents from the 66th floor branch. They’re out now though.”
“okay.”

“Shall we go inside? There’s no need to talk here.”
He looked at Miner, and she nodded as well, leading him into the conference room.
The place we were in now felt like a steam room. It felt uncomfortable for several people to sit and talk.
As we take our seats in the conference room, Miner opens his mouth.
“First of all, congratulations on making it this far. It must not have been easy to get through the 65th floor.”

“It was tricky.”
It’s the same for Dalkan and his followers. In fact, if you think about it, it was harder for his followers than for Dalkan.
Ice skating is against the rules.
“You know where the White Horn is, right?”
“I know it’s roughly against the white tree.”
“I’m interested in white trees too!”
Ghanian intervened at the mention of the tree.
Miner frowns.
“…no matter what you think, that tree is not that tree.”
“Leave it. I’m the type of person who doesn’t care about that kind of thing. You have to give up common sense to make sense.”
What Whishen said is right. He is a little, no, a little crazy.
Oh my, Ghanian himself is nodding his head.
“Anyway, do you know why we’re interested in Evil Eye?”
“For helping Shapin?”
“Of course that part is big, but it’s also because I think you can go up to the 70th floor or higher.”
This is the first time I’ve heard this.
Are you expecting too much from me? What does that have to do with recruiting me into the resistance?
“I guess there’s something up on the 70th floor.”
“I can’t tell you that directly. It’s a system limitation, you know?”
I know. If you’re just giving hints like this, I don’t think you can give specific information.
Lilka gave me information indirectly, but didn’t say anything directly.
I can roughly guess. On the 70th floor, a field with white horns and white trees as the background will appear.
The reason he contacts me is probably to draw me to his side in preparation for that time.
Seeing them trying to do some background work like this, things don’t look good.
Maybe the system felt that this process was also necessary.
If not, sanctions would have been imposed in some way.
I focused on what Miner was saying.
“If you join the resistance, I can help you.”
“What happens if I refuse?”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
“I’m not forcing you to do it.”
“Then it’s no different from a white tree. Still, I hope you listen to the story until the end and then make a judgment.”
Miner continued the story.
There has been a lot of talk about this and that, but to summarize briefly.
“So you’re saying that you’ll help clear the floor where the two groups are in the background? Clear it on the Resistance side, of course.”

“It’s to allow you to gather the necessary items in advance. The upper floors will proceed in a different format than the ones we’ve experienced so far.”
I had a guess. The community is also divided based on the upper class.
Besides, it’s not a bad suggestion. If I had to choose between the two, I’d already decided to go with the Resistance. And I have a quest in progress.
Judging from the reaction, it seems the seagull hasn’t delivered the horn yet.
I understand that there are several horns to convey.
“To be honest, White Horn is weaker than White Tree. To overcome that, we need to attract more climbers.”
“Shall I tell you some good news?”
He leaned slightly towards Miner.
The eyes that gather around me.
“The horns you took away will arrive soon.”
“What does that mean?”
“The Dalkan Seal Facility on the 65th floor. I asked you to pull out the horn from there and deliver it to me via seagull. It will be here soon.”
-bang!
At my words, Whisen kicks the table and stands up.
“Is that true!”
“There is no reason to lie.”
“What a nice guy!”
I blocked the guy coming towards me with his arms outstretched with a chair and continued speaking.
“I’ve already decided to move together with the Resistance. I heard that the Second Heaven Celestials have divine power coming from their horns. Wouldn’t that increase their power a little?”
“of course!”
“If the section hasn’t completely healed, then it might be possible to suture it. If it’s been a long time or damaged, then it’s a shame, but we’ll have to make it into a special weapon and use it. Either way, it’ll help our power!”
Miner and Whisen’s expressions brighten.
[Resistance, White Horn’s favorability increases!]
The response is better than I expected.
Ghanian is scratching the ball, not knowing what’s going on.
Miner clapped his hands as something came to mind and took something out of his bosom and handed it to me.
“Take this. If you have this, you will be able to get help from the resistance fighters.”
“It’s a sign.”
“Yes. There are various designs. You know the hidden picture game? It’s like that, with symbols hidden in the pictures. If you’re a member of White Horn, you’ll recognize them. Choose the design you want.”
It’s just as Miner said.
There are a variety of stickers, including stickers of cats playing, old-school style stickers, and stickers with geometric patterns, but somewhere in the pictures is a symbol of a white horn drawn.
I picked out a cat sticker and stuck it on my union belt. It seemed a bit odd to put it on my armor.
“This officially means I’m joining the resistance. No changing my words!”
“I would say it’s a moderately cooperative relationship. I already have many affiliations, so it’s hard to be tied down to one place.”
Starting with the Pujing Union, he is also involved with Framberg and Helldying Kitchen. He also does business with the Hwajokuk.
Since each group has its own interests, we cannot favor one side.

“It’s okay. I’m not asking for anything special.”
“White Horn is a place with a clear purpose. As long as I can bring down the White Tree, I don’t care about anything else.”
Well then, what?
There doesn’t seem to be any compulsion. If there is, you can just cut off the relationship at that point.
After all, the companionship with White Horn is something that we do because our interests coincide.
The top priority is climbing.
“Okay. Then let’s get started right away.”
A quest window pops up along with Miner’s words.
[Opportunity comes to those who are prepared! – General Quest]
-You who are on friendly terms with White Horn!
-Cult, how about stealing the relic of the five wings?
-Reward: White Horn Headquarters Location Clue, Heavenly Powder (S)
It’s a holy relic.
“There are also servants of the White Tree on the 66th floor, besides us. They are recruiting believers from climbers. They say they will give them divine powers. There must be quite a few people who are tempted. If you have passed the 65th floor, you would know better.”
Aldama. The city of light that appeared after sealing Dalkan.
The angel statues wandering around there cannot be dealt with without divine power.
If you can gain divine power, it will naturally help you climb.
“Can I really obtain divine powers?”
“In conclusion, you can get it.”
He frowned.
I know you don’t like white trees, but as a climber, it’s better to choose the one that’s more helpful.
Because choice is free.
Miner continued, as if he had understood my thoughts.
“It’s not something you get through the normal channels. It’s temporary. It comes with a price. And… … .”
She paused for a moment, then came next to me and whispered in my ear.
“Divine power can be obtained eventually if you go up.”
This is something I didn’t know.
“Can you tell me more about that?”
It doesn’t matter to me since I have divine powers, but not to other people.
If we spread this kind of advanced information, we can increase the influence of the Pujing Union.
I’m also filling up my strategy points while I’m at it.
Because once this goes up to a certain level, it’s not easy to raise your score.
“I’ll tell you a little bit once you complete the quest. It’s about the upper echelons, so I can’t tell you much.”
“That’s enough.”
I stood up from my seat.
“Please tell me the location of the church.”

Because I’m confident in stealing holy relics.
[Title, Relic Plunderer glows softly.]
