Chapter 375: Chapter 375
“Y-You’re going to pull them out?”
Lizaen quickly covered his mouth as he saw Theo greedily eyeing his teeth.
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! If I take that, the god will offer money to Chairman Park, meow!”
“God? Don’t tell me you believe in the legend of the Jewel of the Earth? That’s all nonsense!”
Lizaen shouted, realizing why Theo was trying to pull out his teeth.
‘If you release the soul of the god sealed in the Jewel of the Earth, the god will repay you with grace.’
In the past, many had tried to release the soul of the god sealed in the Jewel of the Earth upon hearing that explanation.
But while there were rumors of failures, there were never any of successes. That’s why it became a legend. Because no one had done it.
“As expected, Sejun-hyung! Just as you said, dipping it in the potato soup makes it really soft and delicious!”
Ajax praised Sejun as he dipped his morning bread in the potato soup, just as Sejun had instructed.
Not even sparing time to bark, he buried his face in his bowl, constantly moving his tongue.
Sejun smiled happily as he watched his companions enjoy the food he made.
However, happiness alone couldn’t fill his stomach.
Seeing the morning bread quickly disappearing from the plate, Sejun hurriedly began his own meal.
Hehehe. This is happiness.
With his belly full, the sense of happiness doubled.
“Have a good day, everyone!”
Sejun saw off the Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and Ajax.
As he was about to start his morning tasks,
Aileen sent money to Sejun.
“20 billion Tower Coins?”
Sejun confirmed the amount and felt puzzled. Wasn’t it supposed to be 10 billion Tower Coins?
Aileen explained why the amount had doubled to 20,000 times instead of 10,000 times.
This condition was set by Crisella after listening to the curse filled voice messages recorded in the voice message orb from Stella.
If this voice message orb were to be heard by another dragon… Crisella couldn’t let her daughter’s marriage prospects be blocked and let her become an spinster dragon.
“Really? That’s good.”
Sejun was pleased with Aileen’s words. Since he hadn’t planned on listening to the message anyway, it was not a bad deal at all.
Thanks to this, Sejun gained an additional profit of 10 billion Tower Coins.
Humming happily, he went to the field to harvest seeds from the cabbages, radishes, and cucumbers.
66th floor of the Black Tower.
The headquarters of the Wizard’s Association.
Oros, an employee in charge of requests, carefully knocked on the door of the association chairman’s office and waited.
Recently, with the increasing number of strange phenomena in the Black Tower, the volume of exploration requests coming into the Wizard Association had surged, which had put Iona in a foul mood.
“I heard she’s been sleeping well these days, so why is she ?”
Oros wondered. Although the workload had increased, Iona hadn’t been this angry in the past.
As he pondered why Iona had become more sensitive lately,
‘Starting with anger at Kyoo level 1…’
It wasn’t a good start. Clearly, someone had already gone in before him and angered her. Lucky bastard!
Oros looked at the request form in his hand with a dark expression.
It was a request for Iona, the head of the Wizard Association, to personally investigate the strange phenomena discovered on the 53rd floor of the Black Tower.
With so much work already, calling the association chairman…
Just thinking about the moment she saw the request, Oros could already hear Iona’s voice escalating to Kyoo level 3, ‘Kyoo Kyoo Kyoo.’
Moreover, the amount offered for the request was far below what it would take to call the association chairman.
‘I really don’t want to go in…’
Oros, feeling as if he was being dragged to a slaughterhouse, mustered up his courage and opened the door to the chairman’s office.
As he entered, hot air greeted Oros. It was the result of the angry Iona using magic.
If it weren’t for the dozens of layers of top-tier defensive magic surrounding the chairman’s office, it would have already been destroyed.
Oros constantly wiped the sweat streaming down his face repeatedly as he waited for Iona, who didn’t even glance at him, to finish processing the documents.
Iona, having finished a bundle of paperwork, looked up and asked. Her scrunched-up face was terrifying.
“C-Chairman, we’ve received a request for you!”
Oros answered in a trembling voice.
“Kyoo-Kyoo—Did you just say a request for me just came in?”
Oros was surprised to see Iona’s anger gauge rise faster than expected, even though he thought she would check the request before getting angry.
“Y-Yes! It’s a request from the 53rd floor of the Tower!”
“Kyoot?! From the 53rd floor? Bring the request quickly!”
At the mention of the 53rd floor, Iona’s face brightened instantly.
But the nervous Oros didn’t realize that Iona’s anger had already subsided.
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. I’ll leave right away. Let them know that!”
Iona, who read the request form, shouted as she left through the window using a flight spell.
“Yes! Chairman! Have a long and safe trip!”
Oros waved enthusiastically at Iona.
“What was that? Why didn’t the chairman get angry?”
Once Iona was out of sight, Oros pondered why she hadn’t gotten angry. But he couldn’t find a clear answer.
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Theo~nim is still on the 53rd floor! If I hurry, I can see him!”
Confirming the tracking magic placed on Theo, Iona swiftly moved to meet him.
53rd Floor of the Black Tower.
“Theo~nim, what’s wrong?”
When Theo stopped just before entering the merchant’s passage, Uren asked.
“I think I’ll take a little rest here, meow!”
As Theo sat down to rest at the entrance of the merchant’s passage, Piyot and Uren also began to rest beside him.
About an hour had passed since they started resting when,
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Theo~nim!”
Iona flew in and snuggled up to Theo’s tail.
“Meow?! Iona, how did you know I was here?!”
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. I know everything!”
Theo looked startled, while Iona had a proud expression on her face.
“Theo~nim also knows that…”
