Chapter 458: Chapter 458
“Hoo. That was really delicious.”
Hanson, who had eaten three grilled sausages and was reaching out for the next one, put his hand down, showing an expression that he couldn’t eat anymore.
I still want to eat more…
His eyes were filled with regret.
Although both races had lived in the same world, their treatment was vastly different.
The gods only adored the elves, who possessed perfect beauty. However, they despised the Pig tribe, who were ugly, fat, and defecated everywhere.
Thus, the Pig tribe were always looked down upon.
But when they entered the tower, the situation reversed.
The gods who had been friendly towards the elves disappeared, and while the Pig tribe could roam freely in places struck by lightning, the elves could not.
As a result, the Pig tribe formed a trading group and traveled to the elves, who had built villages in caves to avoid the lightning. They sold what the elves needed at high prices and bought goods cheaply, accumulating vast wealth.
On top of that, the Pig tribe could replenish the fertility of the land by using manure as fertilizer. In contrast, the elves, who had no access to fertilizer, continued to plant crops in the caves, causing the land’s fertility to diminish over time and significantly lowering their production.
As the gap between the Elf tribe and the Pig tribe widened,
“Let’s take revenge on the elves for all they’ve done to us!”
Extremists among the Pig tribe began to emerge, advocating for the extermination of the elves who had looked down on them.
Magin Daemon was the leader of the extremist group Elf Killer, which called for the extinction of the elves.
“Good. Lead me to the place where the final step is being carried out.”
Magin, planning to personally inspect the final step to exterminate the elves, followed his subordinate.
And the place they headed to was a huge basin that looked like an upside-down straw hat.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun~nim, the work is finished! I’m going to activate the magic circle! Start!”
Iona, who had been setting up a large lightning protection magic circle around the Grapefruit Farm since yesterday, infused the magic circle with her power.
A transparent, square-shaped barrier appeared 500 meters above the Grapefruit Farm.
The barrier began to block the lightning bolts falling from the sky.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
“Then let’s eat breakfast and go to the waypoint first. Guys!”
Since they hadn’t found anything suspicious yesterday and discovered the waypoint, he decided to register it first.
Sejun had asked Hanson if he knew of any special places, but Hanson, who had never ventured far from the village due to the lightning, didn’t have any information.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, grill the fish quickly, meow!”
[Hehehe. Kuengi will help prepare breakfast!]
[Hehe. Give me food!]
As Sejun called, his companions gathered around him.
While Sejun was enjoying breakfast with his companions,
“Sejun~nim, good morning.”
Hanson arrived for work.
“Huh? Who are those behind you?”
“I thought I might not be able to manage the Grapefruit Farm alone later on, so…”
Hanson had brought 20 elves with him.
All of them were prepared to become slaves if it meant their families wouldn’t starve.
Hehe. Since the chairman is so capable, naturally handsome employees are gathering.
Sejun was secretly pleased as he looked at them.
Theo stamped the elves with his seal, raising both Sejun’s and his own stats.
“If you haven’t eaten breakfast yet, come have some.”
As Hanson was about to refuse the food Sejun offered,
The sound came from the stomach of an elf standing behind Hanson.
The elves had eaten five Cherry Tomatoes for breakfast, but it wasn’t nearly enough.
“Eat plenty. You need to be full to work hard.”
“Thank you for the food!”
The elves each took an ear of corn from Sejun and began eating hurriedly.
“Please take good care of the farm.”
“Yes. Leave it to us!”
After entrusting the farm to the Elves, Sejun moved to the waypoint with his companions.
“Who the hell are you?! Huh?! You’re… Uren?!”
Nellie, the red pig who was the boss of the 35th floor of the Golden Tower and third on Uren’s blacklist, was shocked to see Uren.
For the record, Nellie owed Uren 10 trillion Tower Coins.
“Uren, long time no see. By the way, does the family head know you came to the Golden Tower?”
Nellie, who was momentarily flustered upon seeing Uren, smirked slyly, thinking he had found Uren’s weakness.
“No… he doesn’t know…”
Uren’s voice grew quieter, confirming that he had indeed come in secret.
“I thought so. Uren, what are friends for? I’ll keep your visit to the Golden Tower a secret. But I’ve been wanting to buy something lately, and I’m short on funds…”
Pretending to care about Uren, Nellie asked him to lend him some money.
Of course, his plan was to run straight to Magin and report that Uren had returned to the Golden Tower as soon as he got the money.
“Really? But I don’t have any money either.”
Uren, who had never deviated from Nellie’s expectations until now, gave a different response.
“And there’s no chance of my father finding out that I’ve returned. Because, Nellie, you’re going to become a slave.”
He was no longer the King Sucker Uren of the past.
“What did you just say?! You dare to make me a slave?! I’ve been going easy on you because you’re a direct descendant! Now, I’ll show you how it feels to burn!”
As the enraged Nellie grew in size and became engulfed in intense flames,
“I never said I’d be the one to do it… Theo~nim, I’ll leave it to you. You know the 50-50 split, right?”
“Puhuhut. Don’t worry, meow!”
Theo, who had been loosening up while talking with Uren, got ready.
Giant Cuengi appeared and struck the enlarged Nellie with the Lightning Staff.
[Hehehe. Cuengi helped big brother, so give me 100 Tower Coins!]
Cuengi, who had knocked Nellie out cold, grinned brightly and extended his front paw to Theo.
“Puhuhut. Alright, meow!”
That’s a good deal, meow!
Theo handed 100 Tower Coins to Cuengi.
[Hehehe. Cuengi earned 100 Tower Coins!]
As Cuengi happily placed the money he received from Theo into his pocket money pouch,
Puhuhut. Now, I’ll receive 5 trillion Tower Coins and get praised by Chairman Park, meow!
