Chapter 457: Chapter 457
[You have arrived at the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.]
As soon as Sejun arrived at the Golden Tower, he cautiously looked around, on guard.
Fortunately, there was nothing but trees around.
Sejun froze as a golden lightning bolt suddenly struck right beside him.
Theo and Iona began attacking the surrounding ground.
Lighting Armadillos (3,500/10,000)
Lighting Armadillos (5,700/10,000)
Lighting Armadillos (8,300/10,000)
The number of Lighting Armadillos being defeated rapidly increased.
[You have defeated 10,000 Lighting Armadillos and 1 Lighting Armadillo Queen.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, you have been recognized as the rightful owner of the Land Deed for the Grapefruit Farm on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.]
[Land Deed Skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]
Theo’s giant footprints appear as far as 1km from the farm, marking the completion of the Land Deed Quest.
Thanks to this, Sejun’s task ended quickly.
“I’m a bit hungry, so should we have a snack?”
He started grilling sausages for the group to eat.
[Hehehe. It’s sausage time!]
Cuengi, while still keeping the Thunderbolt staff floating in the sky with telekinesis, focused on the grilling sausages.
The other members of the group also gathered around the campfire, eagerly waiting for the snacks.
Uren, unfortunately, had to eat alone, separated from the group, but Sejun made sure to give him plenty of sausages.
“Uhehehe. This looks delicious.”
Rather than being disappointed, Uren was actually pleased to be able to have all the sausages to himself.
A little while later,
As the juice from the sliced sausages dripped onto the burning wood and quickly evaporated,
Theo, Iona, and Cuengi all turned to look in the same direction.
Piyot and Uren also turned their heads to the direction the trio was staring at.
[Hehe. Guys, turn the sausages!]
Everyone, except for Blackie, Eomdol, and Ggomi—who were too focused on the food to notice an approaching intruder—had their attention drawn elsewhere.
As Sejun, who didn’t know what was happening, looked in the direction his companions had turned,
He saw a figure quickly approaching from a distance.
A tall, slender, and handsome man with long blonde hair.
“Merchant of the Daemon family. Please, we beg of you, sell us some food!”
The elf, who had approached in no time, kneeled on one knee before Uren, his gaze fixed on the sausages, drooling slightly.
“We must find food no matter what!”
Hanson, the village chief of Karak Village, had ventured out in search of food.
The outside of the cave was extremely dangerous due to the constant lightning strikes, but
We can’t last three more days with the food we have left.
With the village’s food supply nearly depleted, and having been rationed to just one meal a day, the villagers had begun venturing outside to search for food.
Why is lightning striking only in that one spot?
Hanson noticed that the lightning bolts seemed to be converging on a single point in the sky.
For some unknown reason.
“That must mean it’s safe down there.”
I should be able to find food more comfortably there.
Coincidentally, the location was also the habitat of Lighting Armadillos.
So, Hanson quickly moved toward the tree below the spot where the lightning was converging.
He caught the scent of greasy sausages wafting from afar.
“Could it be the Daemon family’s merchant group?”
The only ones who could leisurely eat food outdoors were the merchants of the Daemon family.
They haven’t been seen around lately; I need to hurry and buy some food!
Hanson hurriedly sprinted toward the source of the smell.
There was no guarantee that the Daemon merchants would come to Karak Village, and perhaps if they stopped by another village and sold all the food, they might have just returned.
Hanson ran quickly toward the scent.
As expected, it was the Daemon family! And a direct descendant at that!
He spotted Uren, who had set himself apart from Sejun, eagerly waiting for the sausages to cook, and was convinced.
Pigs = Daemon family.
Pink pigs = Direct descendants of the Daemon family.
This was common knowledge for anyone living in the Golden Tower.
Hanson naturally assumed that Uren was the one in charge here and approached him, showing respect.
“It’s not me, though?”
Uren pointed toward Sejun as he spoke to Hanson.
Sejun frowned as their eyes met.
‘Oh no! Sejun-nim looks angry.’
“Hurry, go over there!”
Worried about being disliked, Uren hurriedly tried to send Hanson over to Sejun.
“But… I need to buy food…”
Hanson was desperate to buy food and resisted.
“No, go over there and talk to Sejun-nim!”
While Uren and Hanson were having this little back-and-forth,
“Damn, he’s really handsome. And tall too.”
On top of that, there’s something about him—should I call it the pinnacle of beauty? There’s a perfection that can’t be described in words.
Did he really have to have it all?!
Sejun looked at Hanson with a mix of envy and irritation.
Up until now, when Theo said his face was ugly, he couldn’t really believe it, but after seeing Hanson…
And that made him even more annoyed.
“Chairman Park, cheer up, meow! The first step to healing is accepting your condition, meow! Now that you’ve acknowledged your face is ugly, let’s start fixing it bit by bit, meow!”
Theo patted Sejun’s leg, trying to comfort him.
Of course, Theo’s attempt at comfort didn’t work at all.
“Chairman Park, don’t be angry, meow!”
Sejun grabbed Theo’s cheeks, giving him another “rice cake” treatment, stretching them out.
While Sejun was pulling on Theo’s cheeks,
“Um, Uren-nim told me to buy food here…”
Hanson cautiously approached Sejun, trying to explain.
A sound came from Hanson’s stomach.
“Oh? You must be hungry. Here, have some of this first.”
Sejun handed Hanson a well-grilled sausage.
Hanson swallowed hard as he looked at the grilled sausage.
He wanted to decline, but
Having eaten nothing all day, Hanson couldn’t resist the temptation of the grilled sausage.
He began devouring the sausage in a hurry.
Puhuhut. He ate it, meow!
