Episode 40. Old colleague
Rox wrapped his hands around the squishy mana and waved his hands in the air.
sssss-.
The goblin marionettes brought from the lower levels of the tower fought the battle, changing their formation according to the movements of their hands.
“Keeeeek!”
Rox’s marionettes took on not only the humans but also the goblins in the village.
This is to watch the battles of previous adventurers and learn how to win against them.
Of course, looking at the results alone, it was a battle that could not be won. The humans and goblins who have become residents of the tower continue to live even after they die.
But it was an important fight for Rox. Verdin said before this battle began.
‘It is a precious battle that is not easy to experience from the outside. Use Bae Hu-ryeong and his abilities to learn how to deal with multiple enemies.’
Rox also knows.
There is no other battle with so many casualties other than a major war between countries.
In such a large battle, the probability of losing one’s life is very high.
“Enchant Fire.”
Let Rox chant the spell in a whisper.
Easy profit-.
The weapons of the goblins he controlled were imbued with fire attribute magic, and the blades began to burn red.
Grumbling.
“It is a success.”
Rox clenched his fists with a happy expression. Bae Hu-ryeong, the clown floating above his head, danced and asked.
“Oh oh! “How many times has this been successfully enchanted?”
“third time.”
“How many times did you try?”
“Five times.”
“Three successes out of five attempts isn’t bad. Good, very good!”
Rox wiped the tip of his nose with a smile on his lips.
“It feels good to get compliments. Anyway, this thing consumes too much mana. “I feel so sleepy after just using it once.”
“You have to endure that, right? “I’m enchanting a hundred goblins at the same time.”
“is it?”
“okay!”
“I didn’t know. I told Dean he would have to know how to do this before I could go with him, so he practiced like crazy. “This is the first time I’ve done a hundred moves at the same time.”
“… “That guy’s standards are too high.”
Cast enchantment, an intermediate level magic, 100 times at once. Rox didn’t know how great this was.
Glaser’s advanced wizard also needs to have an impossibly high maximum mana value.
Clap clap clap!
Cynthia’s party member, ponytail glasses, clapped his hands as he watched this scene.
“It’s amazing, it’s really amazing. Not only does Strange use mana, but he uses magic at such a high level!”
“Look, I think there’s some misunderstanding. “I am not Strange.”
“… yes?”
“I am not Strange. My name is Rox. Rox von Glaser. “It’s not Strange, it’s Glazer.”
Turf, plod, trudge.
Someone walked behind the goblin champion. Gregory was startled and slowly turned his head to confirm his identity.
“… father?!”
Gregory froze.
His long-dead father slowly came forward and stroked his cheek.
It seemed as if time had stopped.
Both were motionless.
Neither of us could believe this situation.
Gregory realized that his father had come back alive, and how his father had come back to life.
The two looked at each other in silence, and after a while, Gregory broke the silence and opened his mouth.
“Are you really my father?”
“okay.”
“how… . how… .”
“I do not know. “I just closed my eyes, opened them, and there I was.”
Gregory glanced at me and clenched his fists with a wary look in his eyes.
“Could it be that you created an illusion to deceive me?”
I responded by shaking my head slightly from side to side.
“No, I won this match anyway, even if I didn’t cheat. “There’s no need to do that.”
“Well, then how did your father-”
“I asked my friend for a favor. “If it’s okay, just for a little while, please let me meet my father.”
“… “Why?”
“gift.”
“gift?”
“Okay, a gift. No, should it be called a bribe? My fight with you ends here. “I want to hold your hand.”
“You’re holding hands?”
“We’ll talk about that again after you and your father talk.”
“… … .”
“We don’t have time, so let’s talk quickly.”

Gregory did not know my intentions.
How did an adventurer allow him to meet his father? A thousand random thoughts may pass through his mind.
He didn’t think deeply.
Because I wanted to meet my father in front of me at least once, whether he was real or fake.
“I get it.”
I pointed at his father with my chin.
“I’ll wait.”
“okay.”
With these words, we stopped the battle for a moment. Gregory closed his eyes, thought about something for a moment, and then walked towards the church with his father.
The two hugged each other with bright smiles and started talking.
I don’t know what they are talking about because of the distance, but Gregory waves his hands in the air and laughs, cries, gets angry, and then laughs again.
He’s probably reminiscing about the past and talking about things that happened in the past.
His father continued to nod with a good smile. Gregory had so much to say and kept pouring out it.
sssss-.
Gregory’s body began to get smaller little by little. At first he looked like a middle-aged man, but he went back in time and took on the appearance of a young man.
Gregory in the happy days before he lost his father.
And as time passed, the time came for us to part ways. His father, who rose with the power of a marionette, spoke to him with his limp body.
“I think that’s it.”
“This is it? “What do you mean by that, father?”
“I think it’s time to return to God again.”
“To God?”
“okay.”
My father raised his head and looked at me with tired eyes. With a smile as if thanking you for creating this moment.
“If I go, be sure to be nice to that master. “If it weren’t for that person, I wouldn’t have been able to meet you like this.”
“… father.”
“It was so nice to be able to see you like this. “If an opportunity like this comes again next time, I’ll bring some interesting stories to tell you.”
After saying these words, my father turned into smoke and began to disappear. Gregory tried to reach out into the air and catch him, but it was impossible.
“father!”
Even as his father disappeared, he stroked Gregory’s head with a kind smile.
Ssaaaa-.
“Forget the past and live for the future.”
With these words, my father completely disappeared.
‘Is it over?’
He held his hands together and prayed for a while, then immediately got up from his seat, came in front of me, and put his head on the ground.
bang!
“Thank you, adventurer. “I will show you the way to the next floor.”
Flash!
At the same time, the goblin champion’s horns glowed.
‘It’s a success.’
The third path on the 10th floor of the tower that those who just aim to climb will never know.
He helps him find his father hidden in a tomb in the village and meet Gregory, the master of trials.
It is a secret route to the tower that only those with special abilities, such as Rox’s ‘Marionette’, can access.
“I won’t refuse.”
A pillar of white light fell from the ceiling of the tower.
Quagwang!
‘Day Response’, God’s response announcing the end of the ordeal.
Those who complete the original tower’s trials will receive one of seven colors.
Su, Joo, No, Cho, Pa, Nam, Bo.
Appropriate rewards are applied to those who achieve good grades in order.
‘This time it’s white.’
This was the moment when it became clear that I had been able to obtain the hidden piece.
Alfredo, the bald martial artist, raised his hands and shouted.
“Wow!”
Pigtail Glasses danced next to him and said to Cynthia.
“Seo, success! “I can finally go to the next floor!”
Cynthia spoke to the two with a cold expression.
“It’s there. “Don’t touch anything yet.”
“Uh, why?”
“Because our share has not been determined.”
“what! 7:3 Since we are 3, we just have to take that much, right?”
“Because 10 has not been decided. “I’m telling you not to take the third degree.”
“… huh? “What does that mean?”
Cynthia gestured with her chin to the place where humans were gathered.
There, Verdin was seen having a conversation with the goblin champion who had taken the form of a child.
“You can only take one of these. “I’ll give you plenty of time, so choose slowly.”
Verdin answered, holding up the smallest wooden box among the piled up treasures.
“This is it.”
Cynthia and the group were shocked.
How could you choose a wooden box the size of a child’s palm among so many sparkling treasures?
What on earth are you doing with gold and silver treasures right in front of you?
But none of them could say anything.
‘I have no choice but to endure it.’
What can they say to the Verdin and Goblin champions who have overwhelming power over them?
Gregory rested his chin and thought deeply, then sighed and answered.
“I guess you know the identity of that box?”
I smiled slightly.
“well.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you know anything or not. “After all, if you choose compensation, you can’t redeem it.”
Gregory waved his hand widely in the air. At the same time, the auror distorted space and sent the remaining treasures to another space.
Shaak.
“I guess I’m the first to take this box.”
“How did know?”
If they knew what was inside, they would have tried to stop me somehow.
“just.”
“just?”
“Okay, just like that. “It seemed like that for some reason.”
“… A bland guy. Well, you are the first person to take that box as you said. “There is one more person besides you who saw the white light.”
Gregory continued speaking with his eyebrows furrowed.
“That idiot didn’t take any reward.”
“Who is that?”
“I don’t even know the name. However, the party members who came with them called him ‘Red Hawk.’”
“Red Hawk?”
“Yes, Red Hawk.”
It’s my first time hearing this name.
No, it’s not a name, it’s a nickname?
Anyway, I have never heard of it, either in my past life or in my current life.
Who on earth is this?
“Thanks for letting me know.”
“Thank you, it’s nothing special. By the way, if you need money, take some of the equipment piled up inside the church. “There are so many things stolen from adventurers that have rotted away.”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I do not need. “I already have so much money that I don’t need it.”
“You have that much money? Hehe- really? “Then I guess you are a noble from a prestigious family.”
“okay.”
“Can you tell me your family name? “When your children come to be tested later, I will just let them pass.”
“You’re just letting me pass?”
“Yes, my family is special. star. he. “Let me do that.”
Are his actions really good or bad for me? If I were to calculate based on what I know of the future, I would say it’s both, but if you ask which one is more dominant, it’s definitely the former.
The benefits are greater than the losses.
I lifted my cloak to reveal the cross engraved on my armor.
“Strange, my name is Verdin de Strange. “He is the youngest son of Strange, who is said to be the greatest swordsman on the continent.”
