Chapter 378: Chapter 378
TL NOTE: I have decided to rename Little Flamie to Sparkie which will be now used from this chapter.
On a vast ranch in Texas, USA.
A horse leisurely running around the wide plains was grazing on grass.
The horse finished eating the grass it was eating and moved to eat another grass with a red berry attached, about a span long.
And as it brought its mouth to the grass,
The red berry opened its mouth and attacked.
He ate the Medicinal Mugwort and passed out.
As the snores of Sejun, Theo, and Fenrir resonated, the 386th night of his stay in the tower came to a close.
While everyone was asleep,
[Sparkie, are you ready?]
[Yes! Flamie-nim, I’m ready!]
On the 79th floor of the tower, Sparkie was preparing to become the second World Tree of the Black Tower.
[Good! Then here I go!]
With Sparkie’s response, Flamie’s roots sent a golden apple, the size of a fist, to Sparkie.
The golden apple was absorbed into Sparkie’s roots as if it were being soaked in.
[Flamie-nim, my body feels hot!]
[Just endure a bit longer! It’ll be over soon!]
Starting from Sparkie’s roots, a golden hue began to spread, and as the entire tree turned golden,
With a burst of golden light, Sparkie explosively grew.
Black Tower Administrator Area.
Aileen, clutching the crystal orb, was diligently searching for the power of destruction.
“Gah! Why isn’t it coming out!”
No matter how hard she tried, the power of destruction wasn’t being detected, causing Aileen to throw the crystal orb in frustration.
The crystal orb rolled away and stopped after hitting the wall.
The crystal orb vibrated.
“Huh? Did it find it?”
Aileen checked the crystal orb with a sense of expectation. She wondered if, by some stroke of luck, it had found the power of destruction.
It was a different message.
Aileen hurriedly checked the conditions for the Black Tower.
– Tower Farmer (A): Achieved
– Create more than 10 new varieties: Exceeded (23/10)
– Cultivate more than 330 million square meter of farmland: Unachieved
– Grow a World Tree: Exceeded (Podori, Sparkie, ?)
– Acquire more than 10,000 pieces of the World’s Energy: Unachieved
– Own more than 5 Relics: Achieved
– Achieve 3 great achievements: Achieved
– Increase the number of entrances to the Black Tower to 120: Unachieved
There was an additional World Tree.
Thanks to this, only one more condition needed to be met for the Black Tower’s growth, but Aileen couldn’t feel happy. (TL: If you are confused about why only one is left, whereas the previous message shows three as still unachieved, it is because in the case of exceeding a condition, one additional condition will be considered achieved. This was mentioned in Chapter 282.)
“Kheung… Sejun is doing so well…”
I’m the only one not doing well. Compared to Sejun’s recent achievements, she wasn’t being much help to him.
Aileen became gloomy.
‘That’s right. Sejun told me to eat something sweet when I’m feeling down!’
Remembering Sejun’s advice, she soothed her burning frustration with the cool and sweet watermelon juice Sejun had made for her.
The Great Brown Dragon, Garrick, waddled into the Black Tower Administrator Area, causing small vibrations.
“Huh?! Garrick Oppa!”
“Hmph. Aileen, am I still a weak dragon?!”
The 350-year-old Garrick, who had pestered his parents to come here, looked at Aileen and spoke arrogantly.
Another red hatchling entered. It was Perion, the 550-year-old hatchling of the Great Red Dragon.
“What? Garrick, you’re already here?”
“Perion Hyung, you’re a bit late?”
“Ah. I saw the letter late because I was sleeping…”
As the two were talking,
“Aileen, hello! Huh?! Perion Oppa and Garrick Oppa are here too?”
Following Aileen, the youngest, the 300-year-old hatchling of the Great Silver Dragon, Sylvia, waddled into the Black Tower Administrator Area.
“Huh?! Hello, everyone.”
Next, the 600-year-old hatchling of the Great Blue Dragon, Harkun, and the 400-year-old hatchling of the Great Purple Dragon, Pobi, arrived.
Aileen’s mass-provocation letters had worked perfectly.
‘Kehihihi. It’s a success.’
Although the hatchling of the Great Golden Dragon, Hokus, didn’t come, it was still a success.
While Aileen was rejoicing,
“Even though you’re the youngest…”
After greeting each other, the hatchlings decided to teach the impudent youngest who had provoked them a lesson.
“Hehehe. Unnie, oppas, I’m sorry. I just missed you all and wanted to see you.”
Aileen, who had used the mass provocation, had suddenly turned into an obedient and sweet youngest.
“To apologize, I’ll give you this. It’s really delicious! It also increases your magic power.”
Aileen began serving the Magic Cherry Tomatoes, promoting Sejun’s crops one by one.
“Oh! It’s really delicious!”
“Wow! My magic power actually increased a little!”
“This thing called a sweet potato makes you stronger!”
Sejun’s delicious crops naturally became explosively popular among the hatchlings.
While the hatchlings were raving about Sejun’s crops,
‘That Aileen, how dare she call me weak even though she’s the youngest?!’
With a proud expression, the 500-year-old hatchling of the Great Golden Dragon, Hokus, arrived at the Black Dragon’s territory, tightly holding his mother’s hand.
Upon arrival, Hokus quickly lost his confidence.
“Waaah!! Give me money quickly so I can buy sweet potatoes!”
