Chapter 252
Prepare
the strongest Necromancer (252) with evolutionary characteristics
[29th floor: clear the labyrinth entrance]
Diene clenched her fists as she checked the phrase that appeared in front of her eyes.
‘at las… … .’
One month since entering the tower.
Despite the adaptation period of a week, he quickly succeeded in climbing.
Diene suppressed her joy and turned her gaze to see her comrades who had broken through the 29th floor together.
Unfortunately, three colleagues lost their lives.
Two of them were third-year Rodelians, and one was a beastman.
It was an impromptu party because there were no newcomers to challenge the 29th floor, but in the end, somehow they succeeded.
“As expected, she has the skills of a young lady of the Alven family! thank you!”
“I finally broke through the 29th floor! Now I’m going to escape the tower!”
Some of them had been blocked on the 29th floor for years already, so the joy was extraordinary.
Diene watched in silence and declined a message asking if she would continue climbing.
Ugh.
As soon as he returned to the first floor, he was surrounded by members of the Rodelene faction who were members of the team.
“Miss Diene! It’s no exaggeration to say that this climb is thanks to Miss Diene. How can I express my gratitude… … .”
“It was possible because everyone worked together, so it would be embarrassing to say it was thanks to me.”
“no! If it weren’t for Miss Diene’s appropriate magic and judgment, everyone would have been annihilated!”
Actually, he was right, but Diene only smiled awkwardly.
Returning to the first floor, the party members invited Diene to have an after party.
However, fearing that they would continue to be together because of the sense of responsibility if they were involved any longer, she refused to have an after party and went straight to somewhere.
‘By now… … .’
Since only one floor of the 29th floor had been cleared, it was not yet time for the sun to set.
She immediately moved to the area of midfield power and approached the newly built building.
“hmm? Rodlen? Kyres?”
“This is Rodlene. More than that, do you know where Adrias Cromwell is?”
“Ah, you came because of that Confucius! It will be in the manor of the Namgung Family over there.”
Diene thanked the worker and soon arrived at the spacious mansion.
The mansion was a style I had seen a few times in houses built by nobles who had experience climbing towers.
‘Not bad.’
Did you say tile roof?
The shape of the eaves and the engraved patterns were quite beautiful.
As she approached the manor, the gatekeeper at the gate said,
“This is Lady Diene Alven. it is a nice day.”
“Do you know me?”
“Since my role is a gatekeeper, I memorize famous people.”
Diene nodded slightly in admiration at the gatekeeper’s professional spirit.
“Could Adrias Cromwell and Vivian Belokan be here?”
“yes. I’m going to report to the master now, so please wait a moment.”
I didn’t even know when I went to report again.
To Diene, these forms and culture of the midfield seemed mysterious.
After a while, the gatekeeper nodded as if he had heard someone speak, opened the door, and moved out of the way.
“Come in.”
Upon entering, the strong but graceful conifers were naturally decorating the surroundings.
It is a feeling contrary to the restrained and artificial beauty that I have seen in Rodlene.
Soon after, someone came up and bowed and said hello.
“welcome. I will guide you.”
“thank you.”
was a little girl
However, because the prayer was considerable, she was able to realize that she was also a tower climber.
As I followed her and looked around the surrounding landscape, a support appeared before I knew it.
And there, Adrias and Vivian were talking while facing someone.
“and… … .”
Diene didn’t think it was the admiration that came out of her own mouth for a moment, but she hurriedly shut her mouth.
As much as that, the appearance of the man in the support was amazing.
‘How do you think your skin is clearer than mine?’
The man with a perfect appearance immediately turned his gaze to Diene.
“You have a guest.”
That person is Namgoong Ilyoung… … .
Diene had a strange curiosity about Namgoong Ilyoung, whom she had heard about from time to time when she met Vivian or Adrias.
Although it was not a knight, it was out of her strict standards, but it was only natural that her ears were worn out about her appearance and skills.
“My name is Diene Alven from Laudelen.”
“The second son of the Namgung family… … I am Namgoong Ilyoung.”
His way of speaking when he said he was the second son was somewhat awkward.
In fact, according to a rumor she had heard at first glance, Namgung Ilyoung had already entered the tower for nearly 50 years.
It was clear that quite a long time had passed to be called the second son.
‘Still, that look… … .’
There was often a rumor among Aura Masters that they became younger the moment they mastered a secret skill.
Regardless of whether or not it was real, it was clear that Namgoong Ilyoung’s appearance was unrealistic.
“I don’t know if I’m interfering or not.”
“Anyway, the conversation was going to end here. I seem to have business, so I’ll step back.”
Everyone looked back at Ilyoung Namgung as he walked away without a moment to stop.
When the landlord stepped aside for the guests, Diene spoke first in the awkward atmosphere.
“Isn’t he the highest climber now?”
“Probably the 40th floor.”
“It’s ironic that I can’t go up because there are no party members.”
The only climber on the 40th floor was Ilyoung Namgung.
It happened because he needed climbers of the same level to climb further, but most chose to get rewarded and leave before that.
“We will go higher.”
“It wouldn’t be impossible if there were party members.”
Diene also nodded and did not deny it.
That’s how much he believed in his current condition and the skills of Adrias and Vivian.
“The fact that you came to us means that you cleared the 29th floor, right? First of all, congratulations.”
“thank you. The 30th floor starts tomorrow?”
“If you need a break, you can rest more.”
“no. It will be possible from tomorrow.”
Adrias nodded as she saw Diene burning up her fighting spirit.
Adrias and Vivian were also itching because they had stopped climbing for nearly a month.
“The 30th floor is where the boss comes out. You have to prepare in advance. Let’s take a look around the shopping district from now on.”
“Let it be.”
“And there is one more party member? I’m not going to be with you right now, but I’m going to say hello in advance. Is it okay?”
“The immortal you talked about last time?”
“yes. It is called Garnet.”
“You managed to seduce such a famous person.”
“Who am I?”
Seeing Adrias speak shamelessly, Diene couldn’t be bothered.
Adrias Cromwell.
Now that I think about it, it was full of strange things.
An insignificant man who managed to enter the academy as a son of a count.
A pathetic human who had a talent for magic but didn’t even show his efforts.
‘Is that already three years ago?’
The person who did that was now finding a new origin and even writing a thesis.
In addition, the way he wielded the sword was fresh as a wizard.
“It would be nice to meet Garnet first. You might get help or advice when buying the things you need.”
“OK.”
“huh.”
It was rather nice to see the change.
Diene thought so and moved after the two.
* * *
“The 36th floor in a month and a half… … .”
Unlike the leaders of the other factions, Jordan, the manager of the Keyres faction, was not strong.
Literally entering the tower as an administrator, he was appointed to a position by the outside world.
“Even if you check the records so far, it’s crazy speed. Didn’t you think these new recruits were that strong?”
“Anyway, it seems like the people who came in after thoroughly learning information about the tower.”
“but. People like Ilyeong Namgung climbed up slowly because they were lazy. Even so, it’s the expected speed. In the first place, only a few people went up to the 30th floor.”
“I think I will be with Garnet from the next climb.”
“I have higher expectations. Maybe breaking Namgoong Ilyoung’s 40th floor record?”
Despite the words, Jordan did not have high expectations.
In the first place, those who ardently attack the tower and those who walk different paths.
“If you attack quickly, that means you want to exit quickly.”
“okay. It has nothing to do with us. But as long as you live in the tower, you should be careful.”
These newcomers were setting unprecedented records.
In particular, the battle between Ilyoung Namgung and the new recruits that took place last time is still talked about on the streets.
‘To the point of destroying a building I cherished so much… … .’
He stopped thinking and asked the subordinate who was reporting.
“So, have you made any suggestions?”
“I was politely declined.”
“I guess so.”
There were many climbers who were aiming for newcomers with unprecedented climbing.
Jordan also couldn’t stay still, so he invited members of the Keyres faction to the party, but he didn’t think it would be accepted anyway.
“Anyway, it’s strange. Garnet from Rune and Ilyoung Namgung from Joongwon are the ones living together after leaving Laudelen. You hold the line very well. Thanks to you, no one can touch you.”
“Everyone knows it’s good to line them up, but not everyone can do it. Certainly not normal characters.”
“It would be a headache if they stopped climbing and lived in the tower.”
Jordan shuddered as if the imagining was terrifying.
And I turned my head in the direction of the entrance thinking of them, who were climbing the tower by now.
In the vacant lot overlooking from the window of the tall building, many people gathered with each other’s purpose even today.
“I don’t even think you’re the same climber.”
perhaps… … .
Jordan shook his head at the sudden thought.
No matter how great the newcomers were, conquering the tower was an absurd imagination.
“By the way, Mr. Jordan.”
“what.”
“If they get to the 40th floor, won’t Namgung Ilyoung be able to climb with them? Of course, it is still possible to enter the lower floors together, but I don’t think Ilyeong Namgung will be the guide… … .”
“If they go all the way to the 40th floor… … . It’s not that there’s no possibility at all, but it’s staggering. After all, he seems to be on good terms with Namgoong Ilyeong.”
“If that happens, won’t Namgung Ilyoung also graduate from the tower eventually?”
“haha! If that happens, the game of the tower will change. Come to think of it, isn’t Garnet going out together? Then it really is a big deal!”
Jordan said with a deliberately exaggerated smile.
But behind that laugh, goosebumps ran up his back.
“These newcomers are really not to be taken lightly. Assign more people in the future to report on every move. ah! Namgoong Ilyoung collects information from people around her as much as possible. Do you have any plans to climb the tower again, etc.”
“yes? Are you serious?”
“I tried to laugh and pass it over, but after thinking about it, it wasn’t a normal issue. It’s rumored that Garnet has already been promised to join the newcomers. What if Ilyeong Namgung joins them?”
“It wouldn’t be impossible.”
“So pay more attention. No, at the same time, we need to reduce the number of climbers and drastically increase the number of guards. Come to think of it, didn’t you say that the movements of the Quetzal guys were strange recently?”
“That’s right.”
“They may have thoughts similar to ours and prepare something. Be especially careful when looking at Khan and Chagangjere.”
“All right.”
Subha also left the room after receiving the order with a stiff face.
It was a sudden decision and command according to the stream of consciousness, but Jordan trusted his senses.
It was this intuition and judgment that allowed him to serve as the leader of a faction in this tower, even though he was powerless.
“perhaps… … No way… … .”
One assumption that kept coming to him from a while ago did not leave his head.
