Stuck in The Tower

under episode 242,

I bit into an air candy and put on a gas mask.

According to the words of the dwarves, if the divine power stat exceeds 700, they have strong immunity to disease and pollution, but that’s because you don’t know.

There’s nothing wrong with being careful. It’s because it’s holding up well, it’s not that it won’t take unconditionally.

Moreover, the conditions for immunity they said were Elyos. I’m a human so I didn’t know if it would apply differently.

Even if I do this and that, it’s true that I’m definitely more comfortable than others.

A street full of fog.

Only bluish lights dimly illuminate the road, and the fog containing diseases and curses constantly drifts somewhere.

The only thing moving is me and a steam golem and a car speeding down the road spewing acrid smoke.

Are you trying to deliver relief goods or are you trying to join the expedition?

I do not know. Framberg was the first and delayed making the water of life.

Saying that we don’t know where the expedition went.

If you don’t know, stop asking.

“Hey, where did the expedition team go?”

“Hmm? You’re sick of the bone if you stay like that. Go into quarantine.”

The dwarf who controlled the golem pointed to the government building.

not even kind You worry a lot because you are sick.

“are you okay. It’s nothing else, it’s because I have to deliver the items needed for the expedition.”

“If that’s the case, go to the magic stone dump over there in the north. I don’t know the exact location, but there’s a guard and an exploration facility nearby, so it should be easy to find.”

“thank you. If this is where the fog touches, spray it. You can drink it.”

I gave the golem driver one of the water of life and kicked the ground.

Running in the poison fog was no different from suicide, but the effect of the gas mask was great and there was no problem because I didn’t even breathe with the air candy.

-Sssssss

It seems like the fog is secretly avoiding me.

A situation where the water of life shows strong purifying power.

Those words were proof that the plague fog was weak against divine power, and now I am wrapped in divine power with Love and Peace.

strong too.

– I

figured out a weakness, so is there any reason not to use it?

Rather…

“Does it look like it’s over there?”

“That’s it.”

How long has it been since you ran across the city?

Intermittently, I asked rescuers for directions and moved around repeatedly, and as a result, I was able to see a building that was obviously built temporarily.

Is there an explorer over there?

It seems certain that there are even magical life creatures wandering around.

“Forbidden! It’s dangerous here. Please return.”

“It looks like a guest, but if you come and go out of vain curiosity, you could suffer fatal damage.”

Dwarves dressed the same as the one I saw at the office block the road.

Gas mask or plague mask. Even the guy with goggles and a face mask.

Although the protective equipment was different, they were the same in that they did not expose as much skin as possible, and all wore oiled capes and black gloves that reached up to their forearms.

I also have equipment that looks like a complicated looking cog wheel.

I wanted to touch it for no reason, but I held back. Because now is not the time for that.

“Don’t worry about me. Because this is fine.”

Even now, skills to protect the body such as resistance to poison and resistance to curses were still being activated, but there was no hindrance to movement.

Rather, as the skill level goes up, the condition is getting better.

Since the number of lives is sufficient, there should be no big problem.

You have to give it first.

I took out the water of life from subspace. First of all, only half of it is about 50 bottles.

A dwarf among the guards shows interest.

There is a picture of a large hammer engraved on the leather cloak to see if it has a job title.

“This?”

“Use when exposed to fog. it will be a cure It has already been used by patients in the quarantine building on the side of the terminal and is being distributed to other quarantine facilities. I came here myself.”

“Is it effective against disease?”

“Can you believe it?”

“I believe it! I want to believe.”

Is the reaction hotter than expected?

If it comes to you well, it’s me. I’m thankful, but this far?

It’s a moment of doubt. After picking up the water of life, the dwarf is taken to a temporary facility.

Judging by the disinfectant being sprayed, it looks like there is a waiting staff.

As we follow along, a frowning scene unfolds.

“…You’ve been badly hurt.”

“It’s a sacrifice for the expedition.”

Hagwok and Gangbelton also had parts of their bodies damaged, but this was severe.

There are five of them with blisters all over their bodies and barely able to open their eyes.

Muscles that were supposed to be solid shriveled, and one could see twisted joints.

Some had a swollen tongue, making it difficult to even breathe.

There is nothing strange about dying at any time. If it wasn’t for the NPC’s strength, he would have died long ago.

Creatures, magical creatures, are already dead and covered with white cloth.

“Ugh. Ugh!”

“Huh!”

Feed the water of life quickly but not in a hurry.

I also started helping him.

“omg. Huh Eok. Am I alive?”

“I thought I would never lift a hammer again. That doesn’t seem like it again.”

“Anyway, one lifeline is tough. Hahahaha!”

One by one, they started to come to their senses.

I haven’t been able to fully recover from the damage, but it will get better with time.

The dwarf, who was watching this, embraced the patients one by one.

It was silent, but I could see what emotions were in it.

After going through a bout of survival reports, I lay down on the bed again to recover my physical strength, and then left the facility.

A man wearing a gas mask looks up at me.

“Thank you. It’s Myers, the deputy commander of the expedition. I will never forget the grace that saved my comrades.”

“This is Evileye.”

light handshake.

There was no long talk. What I brought was a cure, and I’ve already seen its effects.

After being silent for a moment, he struggles to speak.

“What are you talking about, but can you help me?”

“Sure.”

was waiting

There are so many NPCs, but I haven’t received a single quest yet.

He was arguing over a set of behiltans and felines.

Despite pretending, Framberg is caught in a major incident. If it’s a quest related to it, not to mention the reward.

“Cool. As I said before, it’s dangerous. Take a look at the contents without rushing and decide.”

[Save the Framberg! – Comprehensive Quest]

– This quest contains several sub-quests.

– Expedition support.

-Find the traces of Delburton.

– Framberg stabilization.

– Rescue work.

-compensation:???

– After all quests are over, rewards will be given based on your achievements.

Comprehensive Quest!

It is a form that is difficult to see.

In a sense, a type that is as rare as a hidden or unique quest.

It is created only when a chain of events and accidents that cannot be defined by one thing explode.

It is characterized by combining all the small quests and giving them rewards.

Usually, in a large-scale event such as a siege, it is conducted in a similar format to giving rewards based on contribution.

‘This time, I’m the only one doing the quest. Even each sub-quest is bold.’

There is no reason to refuse.

“You don’t have to push yourself. Because we know very well that bodies and lives are precious.”

“Sure. But you know that too, right?”

I pressed the accept quest button.

“Climbers have extra lives.”

“You are a fun friend. egg plant. han o’clock is busy It would be better to learn the things you need to know right away.”

Myers smiled at my words and took out several items from his pocket and threw them.

The cloak and gloves they were wearing. mask.

“The closer you get to Delverton, the thicker the fog gets. What you are using now is not enough. You’d better replace them all.”

Is this because it is made of a special material?

The gas mask I wore was also rated high, but these are even better.

Items made solely to protect the body from contamination.

[Contamination Blocking Mask MAX (S)]

– Filters out all contaminants through the respiratory system.

– If you change the filter periodically.

– Advanced version of purification gas mask ver.2.4.

[Gloves for Exploration Team (AAA)]

-Gloves to prevent contamination.

-Excellent fit!

– Tough and durable.

[Cloak of Purification (AAA)]

– A cloak coated with a purification magic circle.

– Block the access of unclean things.

If there are three common options, it is that the size changes to suit the wearer.

There is no need to doubt the effect because it received this level with only the purification ability without any other ability.

I changed my gear and followed him.

“Do you use a lot of artifacts? Something complex that uses magic stones as raw material.”

“no.”

“Good. If you go inside, you won’t be able to use it. Even golems stop working if exposed to the mist for too long. It is also the reason why the expedition team consists of people with intact limbs.”

Somehow, among the Dwarves lying in the temporary facility, none of them replaced parts of their bodies with mechanical devices.

Despite being a fairly common sight in Framburg.

Do you mean that they will continue exploring until there is no one who is in good shape, one by one?

The more you experience it, the weirder it gets. An environment and atmosphere unlike any other floor. what do i not know

“Report Merrick status.”

“A total of 18 members of the entry exploration team. 34 entry creatures. 8 people rescued. This is the 26th death creature.”

We are standing at the entrance to the basement.

The Dwarf guarding the place reports the situation.

“There are 10 people inside. egg plant.”

* * *

A crypt in which rocks and soil fall from not long after it has been drilled.

He led the way and I followed him.

I talked to Myers when I thought I was somewhat inside.

“Uh… I said there were 10 people earlier, but are the creatures not counting?”

“Most of them will die here. He was born for that purpose.”

Does it have a different purpose?

“The number of expedition members is decreasing day by day. Creatures work to save and rescue the crew members as long as possible. Or we personally explore places that are difficult for us to enter.”

“The deeper the fog, the more the mechanism loses its taste, so they say they use artificial lifeforms.”

“that’s right. Do you think it is cruel?”

“well.”

“That’s why we don’t make a homunculus with a soul. Even if it’s an excuse, I have nothing to say.”

Was it an illusion that he felt that his voice was slightly trembling?

I don’t know. They have their own circumstances.

I’m just a stranger after all.

I stopped talking and focused on walking.

how far did you move

The fog gradually filled up, and the debris that someone had vomited in the crypt began to be seen.

When the vomit turned to blood and the creature’s body was found and went deeper.

“Benin.”

I was able to find a dead Dwarf with his eyes open.

A figure whose whole body was distorted as if it had been burned with dark red blood.

Myers closes his eyes.

I froze in place.

Did you see the body? No, I’ve already seen a lot of dead bodies.

The reason I was surprised was…..

“Unfamiliar? Even NPCs die.”

“…okay.”

That the dead person is an NPC, a dwarf.

My whole body itches with an unknown sense of heterogeneity.

Unpleasant sensation of crawling insects. An instinctive warning.

A strong NPC that can’t be matched. Traces of destruction that even steal their lives.

I came directly to such a place.

“To that.”

Deokchun cries softly.

Let’s not be nervous. because it can’t be

Took. I cleared my mind by touching Deokchun’s nose.

-Fuck

Myers takes the luminary out of his pocket and places it next to the corpse.

It’s supposed to be marked so that someone who leaves this place can find the body later.

“The existence of Benin means that other expeditions are also nearby. Hurry up.”

Steps quicken

A complex passageway.

We ran under dim lights.

“damn!”

“I’m in trouble.”

I could see the crypt collapsed.

It’s not difficult to break through. I had the ability to move through the tunnel, and he, a dwarf, would easily dig the ground too.

One problem.

Where to go.

A collapsed crypt is a bad sign.

It could be that those inside are trapped or that an unexpected accident has occurred.

It was clear that the expedition would become more dangerous as time passed.

What is the best way to act? In the middle of a complicated head.

“you. How much is there in the water of life?”

“I think there are roughly 50 left.”

“I’m glad.”

-Giik

“Myers!”

Myers tore his sleeve.

forearm exposed.

His forearms exposed to the fog were twisted and covered in blisters.

“The bottom right is the darkest. Move that way.”

Orienting himself to where the blisters had formed, he started digging without a groan.
