Episode 441 To the 30th floor (2)
Lucius de Verakis.
Lucius is the heir to a well-established British noble family and is an elite among the elite who received gifted education from a young age.
I learned not only swordsmanship, academics, culture, and etiquette, but also areas such as horseback riding and the violin, and I always took it for granted that I would be number one even in fields I did not know.
The life of a genius, even boring.
A stimulus like a thunderbolt came to him… .
The Tower of Trials had appeared in reality.
To save humanity. Players risk their lives climbing the tower!
How can one not have a burning sense of challenge?
Lucius immediately jumped into the tower.
I met countless monsters and residents and became stronger and stronger beyond life and death.
however… . The initial stimulation is gone. Before I knew it, a feeling of helplessness came over me.
Love calls from various guilds. He even coveted the powerful powers and gods within the tower, but that was all.
Praise and expectations. And a life that achieves the results as if it were natural.
Boredom and boredom clung to my mind as always.
however.
Exciting!
To him who always lived only for his family’s pride and his own honor… .
Exciting!
To him who had no interest in anything else.
The moment came when my heart first started beating.
The goddess seen in the video.
It’s definitely a hellish situation, stained with blood and dust… .
Elise, shining elegantly in the middle of it all, was so beautiful.
“Lady.”
Lucius looked at Ellis deeply.
I had never once paid attention to a woman in my life, but I felt like I could give everything to this woman.
Not only life, but also soul.
“Heh! Did you see? Contractor. This is how much luggage he has.”
Ellis cleared his throat and said ‘ahem’ towards Jinhyuk.
If he had wings and was flapping his shoulders, he might have been able to fly into the sky.
“ha….”
Jinhyuk grabbed his throbbing head.
Anyway, there are many, many crazy people in the world.
Seeing how much he likes this sleazy little bat.
“Well, don’t be mean to our members and go your own way. This guy signed a lifetime contract.”
“Life… contract?”
Lucius’ eyebrows were bent into an inverted shape.
Sreung!
The sword at his waist radiated sword light.
“As expected… the rumors were true.”
“Rumors? What rumors?”
“The rumor is that good people are being forcibly enslaved and exploited.”
“Ha. Are you believing those rumors? How well have I always managed my image…”
“It’s a cafe where victims gather… Now, take a look.”
Lucius took out the transparent crystal from his pocket.
Evil, party, mother.
It is a gathering of victims of the devil.
There was still a video of the interview with a lot of mosaic processing left there.
“Master… no, if it weren’t for that demon guy, the spirit world… no, he would have been relaxing comfortably in the corner of the room, drinking a drink.”
“Mooogi!”
“Captain, I told you not to call me a mosquito. You’d get caught.”
“Mosquito, mosquito!”
“This is a proper mosaic, right?”
“Be quiet. My head hurts.”
“Rattle. The interview will end. Turn it off. If you don’t delete this, an army of undead will come to your door, so be careful.”
The video has ended.
“Look. Your actions are recorded in detail.”
Lucius burst into anger.
“At least Lady, I have no choice but to be with you. I will save you even now. Come on, come this way.”
“Oh my. What should I do?”
Ellis smiled slyly and tried her best to act weak.
It’s getting more and more complicated.
“Yuseong….”
“It’s hard to help you because every word of it is true. Look for the other side.”
“Te, Ms. Teresa?”
“Hehe. I’m actually glad that I don’t have a competitor, right? No, this was said by another personality. I didn’t do it!”
There is no one you can trust.

I can’t help it.
If you don’t deal with this idiot, everything, including theme selection, will be ignored.
chuck!
Jinhyuk took out ‘Hongryeon’ from subspace.
The sharp dagger drew a semicircle.
“Go for it. In accordance with chivalry, give up three moves to the thugs….”
“Why don’t you do that?”
Jinhyuk’s body disappeared.
Quang!
Stumbling.
Lucius’ body slowly collapsed to the side.
The moment I was struck in the back of the head with the back of a dagger, I lost consciousness.
I’ll be passed out for at least an hour, so this is pretty much the end of the troublesome work.
“It’s a shame. He was a cute person in his own way….”
“Why? Does it make you feel bad to beat up a kid who was so excited about you?”
“Hmm. Contractor, are you jealous?”
“What is jealousy….”
“Hehe. You are doing it right. Right? Huh? Answer this sister.”
Ellis walked closely behind Jinhyuk and whined persistently.

The theme of the 30th floor is decided by betting.
The player or faction that bets the largest amount is given priority to select that theme.
‘Up to two players… On the other hand, there is no limit to the number of residents.’
However, due to balance, the difficulty increases as the number of residents increases.
There were many other variables, but the most important thing was which theme to choose.
[The ‘Vatican’ bid on the theme ‘100 Years War’.]
[Difficulty: 4 stars]
[The betting amount is 500,000 coins.]
also… .
I knew those guys would come out like that.
We have already been informed of the theme, first bet amount, and maximum bet amount through Kenneth.
“Mr. Teresa.”
“Yes. I know.”
Teresa nodded.
The 100 Years War is a theme that even Teresa cannot give up.
That’s why I had to participate in this bidding.
[‘Teresa’ raises it to 1 million coins.]
A bidding war has begun.
“Tsk….”
A clicking sound was heard from the Vatican.
However, as if he had expected it, he immediately started returning the coin.
[From ‘Vatican’ to 2 million coins… .]
‘Capital power does not bow down.’
Jinhyuk chuckled.
I had no intention of winning with coins from the beginning.
The goal was not to win the auction, but to upset the opponent.
and. In fact, when the betting amount soared to 9 million coins, the Vatican could not stand it and reacted.
“I can see it all… stop making excuses and say what you want.”
A woman with short red hair approached Jinhyuk and Teresa.
The black suit and white gloves showed a unique mark that was a mixture of runes and crosses.
This woman is also one of the apostles chosen by ‘Eden.’
“It’s a trick. What do you mean?”
Jinhyuk made an innocent expression.
The bright eyes sparkled.
“Aren’t you doing this to waste our resources, knowing that you won’t win anyway? Rather, please tell us the amount you want. So we can each go our separate ways with peace of mind.”
“Uh huh. What on earth do they think of us who are seriously engaged in the auction….”
“20 million coins. Would this be enough?”
“It’s too big of a coin to refuse.”
I was originally expecting about 10 million coins, but it looks like the other person was quite annoyed.
If you look at that amount of coins being poured into it.
but.
“But the coin alone isn’t enough. Please add one more thing.”
“Are you too greedy? Or do you just see us as generous givers?”
“Considering the rewards that can be obtained from the 100 Year War, the coin alone is too expensive. Moreover, this offer will be conditioned on Teresa helping them.”
“……!?”
The woman’s mood changed 180 degrees.
In the 100 Year War, the existence of a saint is more important than any other variable.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to use all means to secure Teresa.
But, you’re going to propose something you’ve half-given up on first?
“How are you interested?”
“First, let’s hear what you want.”
“It’s not a big one… I need one of the books stored in the Vatican basement.”
Naturally, as the Tower of Trials appeared in Europe, replicas of it became relics.
Among them, the Vatican’s Secret Library, which stores various banned and ancient books handed down from the Middle Ages… .
What can I say, it had a different kind of charm than the books that existed in the Tower of Trials.
It is not just a level where useful information is written.
There is a clue that can lead to one of the tower’s darkest secrets.
‘Necronomicon’.
Originally, you would have to go to Eden directly to get the first clue. The book in the Vatican had a similar effect.
Of course, the Vatican, unaware of all this, will think that this deal is advantageous to them.
A book outside the tower.
Because the idea was to change the relics in the tower.
The worries didn’t last long.
A woman with short red hair stretched out her hand.
“Not a bad offer. Oh, my name is Soshana.”
Everyone has different thoughts.
“Haha. I am also someone who has received a listing from the Fair Trade Commission. My name is Jinhyuk Kang.”
The two hands overlapped as one.
* * *
After that, things went fairly smoothly.
Teresa received temporary immunity from the Vatican’s hearings in exchange for her participation in the Hundred Years’ War.
‘Well, it will only be for a moment. ‘Theresa will be the one who gets the reward in the end.’
The bear does the trick and the Vatican gets the reward?
There’s no way you would make such a stupid deal.
We have already discussed how we will build up.
The problem is that we have to retrieve the book from the Vatican before they realize they’ve been stabbed… .
Fortunately, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Yoo Cheon-young decided to move that part themselves.
Kenneth will guide you and even check the authenticity of the book, so there will be no room for mischief.
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned forward again.
[Salsu Battle]
Difficulty: 3 stars
[Snow White and the Curse of the Seven Dwarfs]
Difficulty: 2 stars
[Growing the Orc Village into a Kingdom]
Difficulty: 5 stars
Several themes emerged. Many guilds selected themes they were confident in one by one through bidding.
Even themes that seemed absurd at first glance were sold out.
It’s a natural thing.
This is because the difficulty of the attack completely changes depending on which residents you are interacting with.
It was then.
Tiring!
[The 19th theme is ready.]
The turn I’ve been waiting for has come.
The status window blinked rapidly.
[Produce 101. Choose the ‘real’ Cheonma.]
[Difficulty: 8 stars]
Of all the themes, the most difficult one is… .
… … This will be one of the first themes that comes up.
It was one of the few 8-star themes, along with themes that recreated the final scene of the Book of Revelation or the ‘space war’ featuring an alien race.
‘Anyway, it’s Produce 101… .’
It is said that the name of the original theme keeps changing to reflect the latest trends, but I had no idea it would come out with this name.
‘Children’s independence’.
It was definitely this name when I climbed the tower in the past.
‘Well, there are a lot of weird copy conditions, so it’s not strange to see a name like this.’
I have already experienced countless times that the system’s tastes are perverted.
“50,000 coins.”
No one will attack this as long as you pay the minimum bid.
however.
“One million!”
A sonorous voice rang out among the players.
