“The Magic Tower has started tracking us in earnest.”
thud.
A wad of paper was placed on an old table. It was a document moved by [assistant writer]. She looked at me while wiping her forehead.
“An extermination order has been officially announced in the city. A huge reward is given to anyone who catches a Hamustra believer who escapes from prison. Anyone who catches or informs the ‘unidentified villain’ who helped escape will be rewarded 28 times that amount. … … “I guess I found the mark you left at the entrance to the secret passage.”
“Good for you.”
I skimmed through the documents.
There was a lot of information related to the Magic Tower written on the paper. Especially about the head of the magic tower, the so-called elder.
“I was anxious about when they would find it. “It’s surprisingly slow to act.”
“… … “What exactly did you write there?”
“The return of the Geomje (劍帝歸還).”
I smiled.
“I only wrote four letters. “There was nothing special.”
“…….”
The assistant writer gaped.
“You’re really crazy, you.”
“What is common sense? Author. It is probably common sense that this world’s average, the average of life in this world. And the world is, on average, a mess. Crazy and abnormal are, in other words, the exact opposite of messed up. “In fact, I would say it’s normal.”
“okay. Mr. Crazy.”
weird.
Why doesn’t anyone listen seriously to what I say seriously?
The assistant writer touched his forehead and sighed as there was a hole in the cave floor.
“… … I will admit that you are amazing. Because I am trusted by the Librarian, and because I have persuaded many other Constellations. “You are probably the first person in history to [simultaneously join] a double-digit number of constellations.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“But you must not provoke the magic tower carelessly.”
The assistant writer said:
“The two syllables that the Magic Tower hates the most in the universe. That’s Geomje. The Elder of the Magic Tower considers himself to be the greatest antithesis of the Sword Emperor. In terms of story, it is archenemy. “He is my mortal enemy.”
“I know.”
I snapped my fingers.
Slurp.
Letters appeared before my eyes. Quest window. It was a quest I had received dozens of times so far, but the hologram I was seeing now was a bit different.
The letters were so cute, as if they were written by hand.

[Great strategy! Shake the heart of the elder★]
Constellation: The embodiment of love and lust
Difficulty: SSS
Mission Objective: Oh my. A person has appeared who claims to be a descendant of Geomje. His nickname is Death King! This warrior has just arrived on the 50th floor and is causing trouble!
Is he really the successor to the Geomje? Maybe it’s the Geomje himself…!? (Excited)
If the Death King really has a connection with the Sword Emperor, oh my! The elder of the Magic Tower will not sit still. Because the only person who drove a stake into her cold heart was Geomje! (Thump)
Will the Death King make the heart of the most insidious spider beat again?
If so, is the music that the heartbeat indicates love? Is it hate? Or is it love/hate? (wink) Any rhythm is fine. The only thing that Babbit expects from the Death King is the sound the elder makes as he is torn apart!
Break the elder’s heart.
I tell this to all believers who worship Babit. Assist the Death King with all your might.
Please prove to yourself that you are worthy of stepping beyond the 50th floor.
※I am currently participating in the quest as a [temporary believer].

I nodded.
“Because I know, I called myself the successor of the Sword Emperor.”
“Ego. “The Magic Tower must be treating me as a very suspicious person by now.”
I put down the stack of paper.
Before the final vote, [The Princess Walking in the Mirage] told us about the history of the Magic Tower and its members.
However, there was no information about the elder who actually ruled the magic tower. When was she born? It is unknown why she stopped at the 50th floor and even stopped other hunters from climbing.
The situation was the same for the hunters staying on the 50th floor. No one knew about the elder of the Magic Tower. The materials handed over by [Paparazzo] also contained plausible guesses and inferences, but there was no truth to them.
“I really don’t think the Geomje has returned. yet.”
But there is one truth that everyone knows.
The elder of the Magic Tower hates the Sword Emperor.
“[Not yet]… … ?”
“yes. Not yet.”
Therefore, in order to shake the heart of the elder, the existence of the Sword Emperor must be used appropriately.
“I have information that only the Geomje and the Elder know. For example, um. is it so. “The words the Geomje said to the elder when he toppled the spire.”
“…….”
“If you reveal this information, even the elders will understand it right away. Ah, he really is the successor to the Geomje. “I need to kill that guy as quickly as possible.”
past. Something like that happened when I was with the Constellation Killer.
I used the words that Geomje left behind in the past. There is no mistake whatsoever. As soon as he heard my words, the elder of the Magic Tower became furious and attacked us.
-It’s a zombie. For your information, I know a lot of things to say to make him mad.
‘It’s so reassuring.’
-right?
‘yes. ‘Your personality is so reassuring.’

In other words, I have plenty of tricks to attract elders.
Perhaps in this world, there are only Geomseong Elder and me. A paddle that only the two of you can know.
“… … “How do you have that information?”
The assistant writer looked at me with suspicion.
“Do you have the skill to read people’s past? Or, are you really the successor to the Sword Emperor?”
“That doesn’t matter. The important thing is that I have the means to provoke the elders. And, from now on, you have to stimulate her [appropriately].”
I touched the document.
“accordingly? what do you mean?”
“Simply making the elder angry is not enough. [Incarnation of Love and Lust] is very clearly and blatantly requested in the quest. They say to overthrow the elders from the root. Therefore, I—.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“Step by step. slowly. “It will shake the hearts of elders.”
“Has the Geomje really returned?”
“no. “It can’t be.”
“The evidence is insufficient.”
“But what if he really came back?”
“You shouldn’t let us know right away that the Sword Emperor has returned. Weak. The impact is weak. “The truth creates waves in people’s hearts when it is found on its own rather than when it comes down from the sky.”
“…….”
“Do you understand? Author. We must show the elder directly that Geomje has returned at the best place and at the best moment. To do that,”
“You need a script.”
The assistant writer spoke softly.
She had the same expression as me. Eyes plotting evil intentions. The eye glow that appears when a person is trying to attract another person or steal their heart.
It was also the apple of Hamustra’s eyes.
“you. “What do you want from me?”
It makes sense now.
“First, please spread the word on the streets of the city.”
“Hey.”
“The Magic Tower did not officially acknowledge the return of the Sword Emperor. The elder must be thinking, ‘Some crazy guy is impersonating the Geomje and provoking us.’ However, if word or rumor spreads publicly that the Geomje has returned.”
“You’re starting to get nervous. Even if I don’t want to write it.”
The assistant writer’s eyes lit up.
“good. “What next?”
4.
Hey, Death King. What happened?
Is there a problem. Mr. Berserker. He was in a hurry.
What’s going on and you’re sleeping. The Magic Tower kids are going crazy right now. Until yesterday, they had issued an extermination order and the guys were playing in the background, but suddenly they formed a search party and started roaming the streets!
5.
“The elder’s heart won’t react just because there are rumors that the Geomje has returned. I’m just a little annoyed. I need to go further. We must target the blind spot in the elder’s heart.”
“say it.”
The assistant writer quickly used a feather pen.
“I’m writing it down now. First, tell me your strategy. “I’ll take care of fixing anything that doesn’t seem right.”
“I touch on the resentment and anger that has been building up against the hunters on the 50th floor.”
I enjoyed the sound of the pen nib clicking.
“Geomje is not just one hunter. It’s a kind of symbol. An elder who blocks and seals off the 50th floor. Geomje broke it and went beyond… . The rumor that Geomje has returned is in itself an attack on the elder. [We don’t like the current situation where the elders rule the 50th floor. I’m sick of it. We want people like Geomje. Geomje will return and shatter these nightmarish days again.]”
“indeed. okay… , okay. “I know what you mean.”
square.
The assistant writer’s hand moving the pen became faster and faster.
“You really mean to make up a rumor as if you were scolding the elder and saying [you are wrong]?”
“That’s accurate.”
“under.”
The assistant writer didn’t look at me. Her eyes were fixed on the letters scribbled by her magnetic pen. The assistant writer’s laughter seeped onto the paper.
“good. The return of the Geomje is a simple justification. “It is a tool to motivate and incite hunters who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Magic Tower.”
“yes.”
I nodded.
“And at the same time, it is a sword aimed at the elder’s heart.”
Look, elder.
I’m dead.
I collapsed from the 99th floor in an ugly way.
But why do hunters still remember me, who died once upon a time? Why are you so passionate about me?
simple.
I am right, you are wrong.
“The more the city is shaken by rumors of the Sword Emperor, the more antipathy toward the Magic Tower rises to the surface.”
You are alive, but you cannot defeat even me, who is already dead.
I, who died and became a mere ghost, am stronger than you now.
“If the elder thinks of Geomje as just an annoying guy… . You probably won’t react much. Anyway, it’s a rumor. I’m sure it will sink on its own so I’ll leave it alone. However, if Geomje still holds a place in the elder’s heart. If you really hate it to the core. “There will definitely be a reaction.”
“…….”
“More than necessary. “It’s going to be excessive, and it’s going to be nerve-wracking.”
How about it?
“… … “How can you be sure?”
“Because that’s what hate is.”
Do you still want to kill me?
“The elder reacts violently. certainly.”
6.
Those magic tower bastards, their eyes rolled back.
They were originally wild bastards, but this time they went too far.
They say they’ll throw everyone in jail if they even mention the name of the Geomje, which is just crazy. no. Anyway, it’s just a bunch of kids talking at a bar who have nothing to do. Why do you do this? What’s going to sting?
If things continue like this, even thoughtless people will start to believe that the Geomje has really returned.
Even though it’s just a rumor we spread, it’s a bit strange.
7.
“There’s something I learned when I came to the 50th floor.”
“What?”
“From this stage onwards, we have to compete with incitement and fabrication.”
[The incarnation of love and lust issues a quest to believers.]
“Has the Geomje really returned? Are the rumors true or not? “That doesn’t matter to ordinary hunters.”
[The last remaining sword in the wilderness issues a quest to the believers.]
“They all serve the Holy See.”
[A lonely seeker gives a quest to believers.]
“The constellation’s words are the truth, and what is written in the quest is the truth. If the return of the Sword Emperor is implied in the quest window, regardless of whether it is true or not, hunters act under the premise that ‘the Sword Emperor has returned.’”
[The eyes that dwell in the labyrinth give a quest to believers.]
“It’s as if I was hunted down as an evil lich.”
[The warhorse of the Eternal Plain issues a quest to its followers.]
“Spread the word around the city. When the Magic Tower begins to violently suppress hunters, it issues quests through the constellations. And all of the quests hint at the return of the Sword Emperor.”
“Is he really the successor to the Sword Emperor?”
“Recently, rumors have been circulating in Monopoly City that the Sword Emperor has returned.”
“I don’t know if you still remember, but the person who knocked down the spire in the past… .」
“Warriors!”
“Why is the Magic Tower so violently oppressing you?”
“Maybe it’s the Geomje himself.”
“That will determine the trend.”
“…….”
The assistant writer’s pen tip suddenly stopped. She slowly raised her head, and my eyes met hers.
I took out a handkerchief from my pocket. A soft texture wrapped around my fingertips. Comfortable touch. It was a one-of-a-kind spell that calmed the mind.
And I said.
“An allied force will be created to fight against the Magic Tower.”
etc,
