Chapter 164 – Get Over Here Right Now!

The administrator area of the Black Tower.

-Ahem… Aileen, I wish you would let go of Ajax’s collar for now.

Looking at Ajax, who had fainted after being beaten by Aileen, Kellion cleared his throat and spoke with an uncomfortable expression.

His grandson was 300 years older than Aileen, and Aileen was known among dragons to have had almost no magic power due to her hardening Dragon Heart disease.

Yet? Since his grandson was being dragged around by the collar by such an Aileen while fainted, he could not feel at ease.

-Yes, Aileen. Let go of his collar first and tell us why Ajax is here.

Kaiser spoke, agreeing with Kellion’s words. He wanted to ask about the Dragon Heart first, but he conceded for Kellion’s sake.

It was because he could feel that Aileen’s illness was completely cured just by looking at the magnitude of the magic power she radiated.

“Yes. Actually…”

Aileen let go of Ajax’s collar and began to explain the process of how she came to grab him by the collar.

“I was talking to Se-jun, when suddenly an alarm appeared that Brother Ajax was illegally intruding. So…”

-Insolent rascal…!

-Groan…

The more Aileen spoke, the more Kaiser glared at Ajax in anger, while Kellion swallowed a groan. The secret passage Ajax was trying to use was one he had discovered and told Ajax about. Even if he had ten mouths, he would have no excuse.

In addition, because he had not told Ajax about the terms of the contract with Se-jun and the exclusive cultivation rights, Ajax, who planted the seeds without knowing anything, ended up rolling under Se-jun’s command for 100 years.

Of course, even if he had told him, there was a high possibility that Ajax would have broken the contract anyway, but regardless, Kellion believed that he bore a large responsibility.

‘Ajax must not find out about this, right?’

Kellion decided that since things had already turned out this way, he would handle it so that Ajax could never find out about his mistake.

And,

*Bam!*

“Keoh!”

He kicked the back of Ajax’s head to make sure he fainted completely, ensuring he would never wake up. If he woke up for no reason and said something useless, his plan might fail.

‘By the way, so that’s what that meant.’

[The Second Commandment – A Tower Farmer can command Tower Farmers of other towers.]

Thanks to this incident, Kellion was able to properly understand what the Second Commandment among the commandments referred to. And also how one went about commanding a Tower Farmer.

‘I might be able to use this later.’

Kellion was satisfied with having obtained good information.

And,

-Ahem… Since this is clearly Ajax’s fault, how about forgiving him on the condition of writing a contract where he can absolutely never refuse Se-jun’s orders for 100 years?

He intended to resolve this matter by having the contract written. He planned to cover up the existing facts with a new fact. In this way, his mistake would be completely buried.

-Hmm. A contract sounds good. Aileen, what do you think?

Kaiser asked Aileen for her opinion.

However,

“Add 100 more years and make it 200 years. The 100 years was originally there anyway.”

Aileen could not be satisfied with 100 years.

If it were Se-jun, he would have signed a contract that allowed him to command Ajax without any threat to his life in a heartbeat, but from Aileen’s perspective, Ajax was already a 100-year slave.

100 .

-Groan… Fine.

Kellion made the contract,

*Press.*

And stamped Ajax’s footprint.

And,

“Give it to me. I will send it to Se-jun.”

As Aileen sent the contract to Se-jun,

“I just need to stamp this, meow?”

Theo, the master of thumbprint stamping who was good at obtaining prints from unconscious beings, stamped Se-jun’s thumb onto the contract. In that manner, while Se-jun and Ajax were fainted, the contract was concluded without the knowledge of the contracting parties.

Once the matter with Ajax was sorted out like that,

-Aileen, by the way, what happened to your Dragon Heart?

Kaiser asked what he had been curious about for a while. Due to her illness, Aileen had her magic power compared to newborn dragons, let alone those of her age. However, her current magic power was almost at the level of an adult dragon.

“Khehehe! A very high-ranking grandmother helped me!”

-A very high-ranking grandmother?

“Yes! Grandmother Kai-la!”

-What? Lady Kai-la helped you?!

Kaiser shouted in surprise upon hearing Aileen’s words. The ten dragons first created by the Creator God more than a million years ago.

And Kai-la Pritani, who was called the strongest dragon among them. She was the pride of all black dragons and an object of admiration. Kaiser had also constantly begged the adults to tell him stories of Kai-la when he was young.

“Grandmother Kai-la’s residual thoughts remained in the Dragon Heart fragment.”

-Really?! Where is that Dragon Heart fragment?

Kaiser asked urgently.

“Grandmother’s residual thoughts have vanished now.”

-What a pity… Still, it is truly a relief. For Lady Kai-la to help you!

“Yes! Then, can I go see Se-jun now?”

-Ahem… That might be difficult.

“Why?! I’ll call Se-jun to a place where there are no crops.”

-That is…

Kaiser began to explain to Aileen so that she wouldn’t be too disappointed.

“Kheng? Because my magic power has become too strong, Se-jun will be in danger if I go near him?!”

Aileen was deeply shocked by Kaiser’s words.

“Khing… Then there was no point in curing my Dragon Heart! I was planning to appear with a ‘ta-da!’ at Se-jun’s birthday party…”

-For now, let’s try to raise Se-jun’s abilities during the remaining time.

Since there was no way to reduce Aileen’s increased magic power, Kaiser suggested growing Se-jun’s strength for now, but he knew himself. It was a completely absurd notion.

If Se-jun could have grown strong enough to withstand Aileen’s magic power in less than two days, he would not have remained the weakest link on the 99th floor of the tower. It was merely a temporary measure to comfort Aileen.

“Is that so? Then I want to make stamina food so Se-jun can grow stronger! Grandfather, help me too!”

Although Se-jun had pleaded with her not to do so, Aileen believed that this time, a dish filled with her love was needed.

-What?! You are even cooking for that Se-jun fellow?!

However, Kaiser, who knew nothing, was busy being jealous of Se-jun. Without even knowing the feelings of the party who had to eat the dish.

***

The Black Orcs began to head south again!

The news spread quickly through the hunters who were hunting on the 40th floor of the tower, and the hunters in the camp hurriedly moved.

However,

*Thump, thump.*

The Black Orc forces tightened their circle around the camp.

At that moment,

“I am Urchi, the king of the Black Orcs. I am a subordinate of Theo Park!”

Urchi stepped forward and spoke to the hunters.

“We are looking for the being who stole Theo Park’s items. Cooperate!”

Since he looked ready to kill if they didn’t cooperate, the hunters cooperated with the Black Orcs as a bitter pill to swallow. Still, they decided to pin their hopes on the fact that he was Theo’s subordinate.

“Women over there, men come here and line up!”

The Black Orcs brought the women to a tent and the men to a wide empty lot and lined them up.

Bill, the cat intern who had learned human culture by trading with the hunters next to Urchi, was giving appropriate advice so as not to draw the hunters’ resentment.

“Strip down, leaving only your underwear.”

“What?!”

The female hunters were flustered by the Black Orc’s words. What did they plan to do after making them strip?!

“There is nothing to be ashamed of! We are also female!”

“What?!”

The Black Orc spoke, pointing to the clothes draped over her heavy chest muscles. In the Black Orc tribe, only females wore tops. It was a unique culture of the Black Orcs that arose because it was impossible to distinguish between male and female just by looking at the upper body.

In that way, the Black Orcs, who made the hunters strip to their underwear, checked the hunters’ bodies one by one meticulously for three-headed snake tattoos.

When about half of the hunters in the camp had been inspected like that,

“Let go of me!”

In the area where the male hunters were, a hunter causing a disturbance was subdued by a Black Orc. Through his torn shirt, a tattoo of a three-headed snake forming a circle was visible.

“Tell us everything you know.”

Luken, the shaman of the Black Orc tribe, spoke as he waved his skull staff.

“About what?!”

“Well. I do not know. But in the end, they all talk.”

*Thwack!*

As Luken struck the man’s head with the skull staff, the souls bound to the skull staff seeped into the man’s head.

A moment later,

“Ack! Please! I will tell you all the information about the Circle that I know, so please take these monsters away!”

The man begged Luken.

“If you tell everything, I will take them away.”

“Yes! What I know is…”

When the man finished speaking,

*Thwack!*

Luken struck the man’s head with the skull staff again to retrieve the souls, then went to Urchi.

“I have found out.”

“Really? As expected, Luken’s shamanism is reliable!”

“Keh-keh-keh. The grudge of a Black Orc virgin ghost is a terrifying thing.”

At that moment,

“My King, the inspections are finished.”

A Black Orc soldier came and reported.

“Good work. Prepare to move! Luken, where should we go?”

“The place he confessed to is the 38th floor of the tower. I think we should go there first and gather information again.”

“Understood! The entire army will move to the 38th floor of the tower!”

*Bratttt.*

Along with the sound of the horn, the Black Orc forces moved to the 38th floor of the tower.

***

Ugh…

Se-jun, who had fainted upon being exposed to Aileen’s magic power, woke up.

“Chairman Park! Are you okay, meow?!”

Cueng?

[Dad, are you okay?]

“Yes. I’m fine. But why did I faint?”

“I don’t know, meow! A sudden, immense magic power appeared and then vanished, meow!”

“Magic power?”

Was that magic power? Se-jun recalled the feeling that had made his chest tight just before he fainted.

“By the way, what time is it now?”

*Growl.*

Cuengi’s stomach clock rang, as if answering Se-jun’s question.

Cueng!

[It’s time to eat dinner!]

“What?! Already?!”

When Se-jun hurriedly ran to the kitchen area, the water in the pot had completely evaporated, and the rice cakes were hardened like actual bricks.

“It looks like I’ll have to work overtime tonight?”

Steaming rice cakes until tomorrow morning was the only way to meet the schedule, but since it fell through, he might have to stay up all night.

Cueng! Cueng!

[It’s late-night snack! We’re eating honey popcorn!]

Cuengi, who had mistaken working overtime for a late-night snack, cheered. Seeing such a Cuengi, a smile formed naturally.

“Right. What’s so hard about working overtime? It’ll be over after eating late-night snacks a few times anyway.”

Come to think of it, it was really no big deal.

Se-jun quickly set a new batch of rice cakes to steam and prepared dinner. Dinner was spicy squid soup. Having smelled the steaming rice cakes constantly, he wanted to eat something spicy.

“Cuengi, bring some squid from the storage.”

Cueng!

[Understood!]

While Cuengi searched for and retrieved the squid from the sub-space storage,

*Chop, chop, chop.*

Se-jun chopped onions and green onions to add to the squid soup and kept putting them into the large pot. Since the pot was huge, he had to put in an enormous amount.

Cueng!

[Dad, I brought it!]

When Cuengi came out with a box of cleaned squid, Se-jun poured all the squid from the box into the pot. Then, he seasoned it with red pepper powder and salt, and finally threw in Cheongyang chili peppers.

*Slurp.*

“Khuuu. Perfect! Guys, let’s eat!”

Se-jun, who tasted the soup, called the animals with a satisfied expression. Since the white rabbits could not eat spicy food, he gave them the clear squid soup he had scooped out in advance before seasoning.

Ukki!

Conversely, the monkeys ate it very deliciously even though it was their first time eating spicy food.

In that way, after dinner was finished, Se-jun set a new batch of rice cakes to steam and was resting blankly, when

“Chairman Park. Chairman Park. Look at this, meow!”

At the perfect timing for Se-jun to praise him, Theo held out a contract.

[Absolute Command Contract]

– For 200 years, Party B can absolutely never refuse the commands of Party A.

Special Terms.

…

..

.

Party A: Park Se-jun (Seal)

Party B: Ajax Mamuve (Seal)

In the special terms, it was written that commands demanding Party B’s property or life could not be made.

“By the way, when did I stamp my thumbprint on this contract?”

Se-jun wondered as he looked at the clear print of his own thumb stamped on the contract.

“I stamped it with what Sister Aileen gave me while Chairman Park was fainted, meow!”

“Aileen did?! Ah!”

Se-jun only then recalled what Aileen had said about dragging Ajax back.

“Aileen must have really dragged Ajax back and gotten a contract for me so he wouldn’t touch me.”

Hehehe. So that means Ajax cannot refuse my commands, right?

“Ajax, get over here right now!”

Se-jun summoned Ajax.
