Chapter 358 – Would You Like to Accept the Voice Message Bead

Silver Tower Administrator’s Area.

“Tier… go away… I said I have no interest in the Yong-Yong Market or whatever…”

Chrisella Heathron, the leader of the Great Silver Dragon Clan, spoke in a listless voice.

Chrisella had been shut in her cave for a month in shock when her daughter Stella died without leaving a body from Halphas’s attack.

And,

“Chrisella, how long are you going to just lie down like that? Instead of doing that, let’s use the Yong-Yong Market just once to get some fresh air.”

Tier was diligently marketing the Yong-Yong Market next to Chrisella to become a Yong-Yong Market VIP.

Tier could not move the dragon statue in the Black Tower lately.

If he moved it even a little…

-Oh! Has the General Grade Tier arrived?

-Phehehe. Tier, how does it feel to live as a General Grade? I don’t know well because I’m a VIP.

Because Kaiser and Ramta, who had become Yong-Yong Market VIPs, rushed over and teased him.

‘I will definitely become a Yong-Yong Market VIP!’

Thanks to that, Kellion and Tier were making efforts to become Yong-Yong Market VIPs.

“Phew. Understood. Instead, once we go to this Yong-Yong Market, you are going back too.”

“Yes! I will!”

Fortunately, Tier succeeded in moving Chrisella.

***

*Rumble.*

They were on the way to the waypoint, riding on Toryong’s head.

*Kkurorong.*

*Arorong.*

Cuengi and Ajax, who had consumed a lot of milk, were sleeping while leaning on Se-jun’s body, and

*Chew. Chew. Chew.*

King!

‘It might run away again! I must eat quickly!’

Fenrir was gulping down the milk in the bowl in a hurry, in case it would run away again.

Unlike Cuengi and Ajax whose mouths were white from drinking milk, Fenrir, whose mouth was clean, barked as he looked at the glass bottle filled with milk, so

“Blackie, did you not get to drink milk?”

King! King!

‘Yes! It all ran away!’

Se-jun had understood the situation and given him milk.

‘Huhut. As expected, I have the quality of a great detective.’

Se-jun thought as he watched Fenrir diligently drinking the milk. Perhaps being a detective was his calling too. Should he open a detective agency next to his house? As a side job.

While Se-jun was indulging in useless delusions,

*Choke! Choke!*

Fenrir, who was drinking the milk in a hurry, suddenly choked and coughed.

“There is plenty, so eat slowly.”

Se-jun said as he patted Fenrir’s back.

Thanks to that, Fenrir was able to stop coughing quickly, and

Kkihit. King! King!

‘Heh. I feel good! The white water is delicious!’

after drinking two bowls of milk while receiving Se-jun’s patting,

King… King.

‘Hey. I’m full… stroke my belly.’

he entrusted his bulging belly to Se-jun’s hand and fell fast asleep.

*Kkurorong.*

*Arorong.*

*Kkirorong.*

When Se-jun began to nod his head, using the snoring sounds of the three as a lullaby like that,

-Master, we have arrived.

Toryong announced that they had arrived at the 73rd-floor waypoint of the tower.

“Huh? Already?”

Se-jun, who was just about to sleep, put Fenrir into the sling bag to move with a disappointed voice.

“It’s full.”

Whether he had grown again, the sling bag which used to have room had become small and felt like it would burst.

King…

In that cramped space, Fenrir tossed and turned, pulling his legs out to make a comfortable position for sleeping.

Thanks to that, he ended up in a roasted chicken posture with all four legs sticking out of the sling bag, but it certainly looked comfortable with room created inside the sling bag.

“Cute.”

Se-jun played by touching the tongue of Fenrir, who was sleeping with his pink tongue slightly sticking out, a few times, then got down from Toryong’s head while holding Cuengi and Ajax in his arms.

Then,

“Welcome!”

Quarrel, the giant flying squirrel boss of the 73rd floor of the tower, seeing Ajax sleeping while held in Se-jun’s arms, was startled and opened the path to the waypoint, and

[The Black Tower’s 73rd-floor waypoint has been saved.]

Se-jun registered the waypoint and returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

***

“Uren! Where are you, mew?! Come over here quickly, mew!”

As Theo, who did not want to go far, moved while calling Uren,

“Lord Theo, save me!”

From afar, Uren ran while calling Theo’s name with 50 bandits chasing behind him.

He had been swallowed by Jormungandr’s fragment, and even met bandits inside and was being chased.

Although it was double misfortune for Uren,

“Puhuhut. Ppiyot, pull out the slave contracts, mew!”

Ppiyot! Ppiyot!

[Yes! Lord Theo!]

it was double happiness for Theo.

“Puhuhut! This body is the subordinate of the Great Black Dragon, the Fatal Dragon Claws Golden Cat Lord Theo Park, mew! Hurry up and stamp your seals here, mew!”

“Don’t be ridiculous! Hmph! The Great Black Dragon? We don’t care about such things!”

Thankfully, the bandits attacked at Theo’s self-introduction, and

*Thud, thud, thud.*

“Puhuhut. You just targeted my life, mew! Hand over 250 billion Tower Coins as the price of my life, Vice Chairman Theo, mew!”

Theo, who was humble(?) by simply subduing the bandits, demanded half the price of Se-jun’s life. ‘I cannot match the level of the Great Chairman Park, mew!’

Thanks to that, the bandits stamped the slave contract which included a clause that they must repay 250 billion Tower Coins, and Theo became happier.

“Puhuhut. Uren, hand over the money, mew!”

“Yes! Here it is!”

While Theo was withdrawing money from the ATM Uren,

“Lord Theo, I have received all the stamps.”

Ppiyot received all the stamps of the 50 bandits on the slave contracts.

“Good job, mew! Mew!”

After praising Ppiyot, Theo swung his front paw greatly and used One Meow Slash.

*Clink.*

As Jormungandr’s fragment vanished, white coins began to fall, and

“Ppiyot, pick up the coins, mew!”

Ppiyot!

[Yes!]

At Theo’s instruction, Ppiyot flew quickly, picked up the coins, and put them in Theo’s bundle.

“Puhuhut. Let’s go, mew!”

Theo led the slaves along with Uren and Ppiyot toward the 55th floor of the tower.

Like that, they arrived at the Red Ribbon Kingdom on the 55th floor of the tower.

“Chairman Park told me to give you this, mew! By the way, where did the Black Rabbit go, mew?”

Theo asked, pulling out the leather pouch containing crops from his bundle. The Black Rabbit was not seen.

Pyupyu! Pyupyu!

[Hmph! I don’t know such a fool!]

Instead, there was only a very angry Pyupyu. It was clear that the two had fought.

Theo was curious about why they fought, but did not bother to ask. He felt it would just become troublesome if he asked.

So he hurriedly left the castle,

“Father Rabbit, these are slaves, mew! Make them work, mew! I’m off then, mew!”

handed over the slaves to the Rabbit Couple’s farm, and hurriedly moved to the 4th floor of the tower for Se-jun’s last errand.

***

[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

Moo!

[Lord Se-jun, hello!]

When Se-jun arrived at the 99th floor of the tower, the Bull Demon King who was guarding the waypoint greeted him.

“Yeah. Nothing major happened?”

Moo!

[I heard the Black Rabbit is at the farm!]

“The Black Rabbit?”

What is it? Did he bring other rabbits to be tenant farmers again? As Se-jun thought about the reason the Black Rabbit came,

*Clank*

Cuengi!

[Uncle Bull Demon King, cueng!]

Cuengi opened the subspatial warehouse and rushed happily toward the Bull Demon King.

But,

Cuengi?

the Bull Demon King slightly avoided Cuengi’s rush to the side. In the past, he just let himself be struck, but now it seemed he couldn’t because it hurt.

“That’s understandable.”

‘Bull Demon King, I understand. Because from about a month after he met Cuengi, he felt a threat to his life even from Cuengi’s light touch.’

Although there was a significant difference between the force of Cuengi directed at the Bull Demon King and himself, sharing the same plight, their minds would be the same. It would be so.

Cuengi!

[Uncle Bull Demon King, I need special training, cueng!]

Moo! Moo!

[Understood! Take your stance!]

Meanwhile, the two took up straight punch stances.

Like that, Cuengi received training from the Bull Demon King, the strongest of the Black Tower.

Even if he just grew, the position of the next strongest of the Black Tower was guaranteed, but it seemed he would become the strongest of the Black Tower at an even earlier time.

“Toryong, let’s go.”

Se-jun returned to the farm so as not to interfere with Cuengi’s training.

And,

*Boom!*

as if they couldn’t use their strength properly because of Se-jun indeed, a massive explosive sound began to be heard.

A moment later,

Pyak!

[Uncle, I’m here!]

As the house became close, the Black Rabbit, who was at the farm carrying a squeaky hammer on his back, ran out and greeted Se-jun.

“Black Rabbit, what’s the matter?”

Since other rabbits to be tenant farmers were not seen, Se-jun asked.

Then,

Pyak…

[Just…]

The Black Rabbit glossed over the answer. Even from a glance, he hadn’t just come, but since he seemed reluctant to speak, Se-jun did not ask further.

“Black Rabbit, help me harvest cherry tomatoes at least.”

Pyak!

Se-jun harvested the cherry tomatoes on the farm along with the Black Rabbit and Ajax.

*Pluck. Pluck.*

[Cherry Tomato of Mana has been harvested.]

[Your job experience increases very minutely.]

[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 8 increases very minutely.]

[You have obtained 70 experience.]

…

..

.

Se-jun harvested cherry tomatoes.

“Black Rabbit, call me Little Uncle from now on. Got it?”

Pyak? Pyak?

[Really? Is that okay?]

“Ehihit. Of course! Because I am Se-jun hyung’s younger brother!”

Ajax’s voice trying to act like an uncle to the Black Rabbit reached Se-jun’s ears.

Farming together like that, when the time came, they ate dinner.

Dinner was a soup made with carrots, which the Black Rabbit liked.

Pyak!

[Uncle, it’s really delicious!]

*Thud. Thud.*

The Black Rabbit, who ate the carrot soup, stamped his feet in excitement. It was natural. The carrot soup the Black Rabbit had eaten in the past had almost no ingredients.

But now, because all the necessary ingredients like flour, butter, milk, and cheese were provided, it couldn’t possibly be tasteless.

Of course, the reaction of the three who ate Se-jun’s cooking everyday was not much different from the Black Rabbit.

Cuengi!

[It’s delicious, cueng!]

Cuengi, who had received special training, punched the air to express his excited heart after eating the soup.

*Boom.*

But why did a roar resound from afar?

“Ehihit. Hyung, it’s so delicious!”

Ajax trembled his tail, overcome with happiness, and

*Chew. Chew. Chew.*

Kkihit. King! King!

‘Heh. Exciting! Delicious!’

Fenrir ate a few bites of carrot soup, barked a few times tipsy with joy, and repeated eating the carrot soup again.

“There is plenty, so eat more.”

When Se-jun watched the four eating his cooking deliciously with a pleased expression,

[Your soul becomes full at the pouring praises.]

[Your mental strength increases by 2.]

Along with the message, his mental strength rose.

“Hehehe. Nice.”

Se-jun smiled and began to eat the carrot soup.

At that moment,

[The helper of the 10th tower, the Great Silver Dragon Stella Heathron, has sent a voice message bead.]

[1 million Tower Coins are required to receive the voice message bead.]

[Would you like to accept the voice message bead?]

The message appeared in front of Se-jun.

The helper of the 10th tower?

A voice message?

He did not pay much attention to the fact that she was a dragon. Because there were many dragons around, he thought, ‘There could be a dragon in the 10th tower too.’

Even without this, there was too little information on finding the door fragment leading to the 10th tower…

“Will she give a hint? I will accept it.”

Although he didn’t like that she sent it collect call without manners, thinking he might get some help, Se-jun decided to accept the voice message bead.

Then,

[Paying 1 million Tower Coins.]

[You have obtained the voice message bead.]

A transparent bead appeared on Se-jun’s palm.

[Voice Message Bead]

It is a bead that can store voice for 10 seconds.

Injecting mana allows you to hear the stored voice.

The voice of the Great Silver Dragon, Stella Heathron, is recorded.

Usage restriction: Mana 100 or higher

Grade: D

“I just need to inject mana?”

When Se-jun injected mana into the bead,

[Hey! Just what kind of guy are you?! Why haven’t you come to the 10th tower yet?! And tell my mom that I’m alive!]

Stella’s voice, packed with what she had to say within the given 10 seconds, was heard.

While Se-jun was listening to Stella’s voice like that,

“Tier, this is the Black Tower, isn’t it?”

“Yes. The Yong-Yong Market is here.”

“Phew. Understood. I will leave after staying for only one hour anyway.”

“Alright. Let’s enter.”

Stella’s mother, Chrisella Heathron, arrived at the Black Tower.
