Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 91 20th Floor Safe Zone

Jo Hyun-soo gets Fellain’s red hair and goes up to the 20th floor 5 minutes later.

The field boss, who had been fiddling with the Frostfire Sword while standing alone in the hollow, turned his head.

“Why don’t you come out now? It’s just me anyway.”

At his words, the person hiding behind the pillar walked out.

“Ah. I thought I was dying of sleep Just easy to finish and not send. You kept waiting.”

small stature.

Raised ears and profuse tail hair.

It was Rilka.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been excited. I wonder if they wanted to see the capabilities of great talents.”

“After going through that, you tested it too hard? Usually dead.”

Rilka raised her eyebrows.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Cho Hyun-soo, it was a difficulty that could never be passed.

He shrugged at her scolding.

“It was broken in the end, but that’s okay. The final blow was beyond imagination.”

“Yeah, that’s because they use scrap metal like that.”

I was referring to the shield the boss used.

An iron shield with no options attached.

It was something that Rilka, who was also a blacksmith, did not like at all.

At the same time, it was an extremely insignificant piece of equipment for a ruler of one floor to use.

“I can’t write even if I want to. It’s all broken.”

he points to the floor A shredded shield.

It’s not a repair, it’s a level that needs to be melted down and rebuilt.

“That’s good. One of the pillars in the Temple of Ice and Fire uses something like that.”

-Kung

Rilka summoned an object from the air.

A red shield falling down.

The vision that Cho Hyun-soo saw on the day he was conducting the hidden quest on the 15th floor. It was the thing that came out of it.

Hugo Arte.

Ruler of the 19th floor and one of the pillars supporting the Church of Ice and Fire.

It was the name of a person who blamed himself for a long time in an unquenchable fire.

Hugo Arte took the shield.

familiar touch.

It was a life partner I hadn’t seen for a long time after the loss.

It was also a sacred object that was recognized and selected by Magnarok.

-Paaaaaa!

Did you recognize the owner?

Light burst from the shield and powerful divine power was emitted.

[Met a person with the qualifications.]

[The sacred object awakens.]

[Fire Guardian (SS)]

– Only those who have the seal of fire can handle it.

– Pillar of Fire Hyaltin Holy Kingdom’s shield ruler of flames. Hugo Arte’s shield.

“Did it take some time? It’s because no one wants to accept the quest. Among those who received it, no one brought the scales of the Firearm Dragon.”

“How many people on the 10th floor will be able to tear off the scales of the Firearmed Dragon?” -Hugo

Arte,

smiling faintly, raised his shield.

heavy At the same time, it is familiar as if it were a part of the body.

Rilka, who was watching the scene, waggled her tail.

As a blacksmith, it was always a pleasure to see customers satisfied.

In particular, it’s even more satisfying when someone with a fairly good name is satisfied.

“If you’ve heard this, you’ve probably blocked the last blow, right?”

“You sound natural.”

Hugo raised an eyebrow at Rilka’s question.

A blow from Cho Hyun-soo.

It was hard to see that the shield was blocked at the point it was broken.

There were no wounds, so he could have thought it was okay, but it wasn’t by his standards.

It’s not enough just not taking damage.

Losing the shield meant that the means to block future attacks were gone.

I had to let it flow completely.

If he had been carrying this shield, he could have advanced beyond the barrier.

Hugo Arte stared at Rilka.

A mischievous smile spreads across his lips.

“I think I intentionally didn’t give it to you, but is it because of my mood?”

flinch.

It was clear from the prick of Rilka’s ears.

“That can’t be. If it just suddenly appears, then you’ve been hiding and watching.”

“Oh, you mean that?”

I don’t mean to criticize that much.

I’m kidding because the reaction is funny.

“Anyway, this is the end of the contract!”

“I’ll send you the reward right away.”

“I’ll give you a 10 percent discount because you waited so long.”

“Is it 10 percent because it’s 10 years late?”

“Ugh…..”

Giving or receiving, even talking nonsense for a while.

When the settlement was over and there was nothing to say, there was silence.

Rilka, who had been sneaking a glance at Hugo, opened her mouth.

“I finally got it. Are you going to the 29th floor?”

Her gaze rested on the frostfire sword Hugo was holding.

Hugo smiled bitterly and nodded.

“I have to go.”

“You might be hated.”

“Shouldn’t you have to deal with that? The third doctrine of the Temple of Ice and Fire is forgiveness. Ahahaha! Even Magneta will understand!”

Frostfire Sword.

This holy sword was used by Magneta Pratt, a holy relic of the Temple of Ice and Fire and the sword of the 29th floor boss Hyaltine Holy Kingdom.

It was one of the holy relics that were lost along with Hugo’s shield, and it was a special treasure even in the church.

symbol of unity.

A holy relic that represents the Temple of Ice and Fire.

Its value and symbolism were great.

Another name for the Frostfire Sword.

[Frost Flame Sword (S)]

– Connect with another church pillar.

A key to open a portal.

That was it.

A sacred object that can be brought to the pillars of the church.

It was one of the few ways for NPCs with a limited activity radius to go somewhere else.

“Go and come back safely.”

Hugo, who was lost in memories for a moment, stroked Rilka’s head.

“ah! Don’t touch your head, you tin man!”

A furious Rilka kicked him in the shin, but as expected there was no damage.

Hugo laughed and stroked it once more.

Rilka, who wrinkled her nose, jumped up and hit him on the head, then quickly ran away.

“Be beaten by the magnetar, you idiot!” -Lilka stuck out

her

tongue and disappeared like a mirage.

Left alone, Hugo raised the Frostfire Sword.

The time has come to clear up the old misunderstanding with her.

* * *

20th floor. safe zone.

We entered the second safe zone before we knew it.

The top is where the losers come out on each floor.

The number of people was significantly reduced compared to the 10th floor, but the size of the village itself was the same, and there were various buildings.

“Is this good enough?”

I put Deokchun inside the armor and walked down the street.

There were so many people on the 10th floor that it felt like a subway on my way to work.

It’s just a downtown area here.

If you go to the 30th floor, it will decrease even more.

Not to mention from the 40th floor onwards.

“The lick must have been here somewhere.”

“To the ark.”

Frustrated, Deokchun put his face out over the armor, but put it back in.

Be patient. If you get an inn, play there.

For others, a safe zone would be a place to rest and go up, but not for me.

It’s because I don’t get along well with large guilds.

Fortunately, the atmosphere has softened these days.

‘The atmosphere is different.’

I admired the people in the safe zone a little.

Perhaps it was because everyone came up after a life-and-death battle, and they gave off a sharper momentum.

There were many people walking around armed.

I guess it’s because I’m used to being armed now.

Compared to the 10th floor, it has become much more mature.

“Good.”

I jumped on the bandwagon and walked the streets wearing a helmet.

It wasn’t Fellain’s red hair from the boss on the 19th floor.

Doesn’t it look too much like a servant wearing a yellow breastplate and a red helmet?

At least, I activated the normal necklace helmet and used it.

The red helmet, that is, the red head, was stored in the inventory so that it could be used at any time.

The treasure bag is not bad, but it has the inconvenience of having to open it by hand.

Even on the 19th floor, I couldn’t afford to open it myself, so I got help from Deokchun.

Entering the 20th floor, the inventory space increased to 5 slots, so there was no problem.

“I’m sure it will be somewhere.”

I squinted my eyes.

It’s not like wandering around the plaza without thinking.

I was looking for Rilka.

He said he was going to the 20th floor, so he must be there somewhere.

I had a lot to ask her.

I have something to ask of you.

Was it like that for about an hour?

“No, yes. oh! There he is!”

I was able to find Rilka holding a bun in her hand.

The guy who looked at me and waved his hand vigorously.

Why are you so welcome?

That’s when anxiety kicks in.

Rilka, who came running dododo, dragged me to the shopping mall.

“He will pay for it!”

“huh?”

calculation? did i hear wrong?

Has this damn beast finally gone mad?

It’s been awhile since I’ve had that thought.

“Rilka told me several times that you shouldn’t bring anyone like that.”

The NPC who appeared to be a street vendor sighed.

It seems this has not happened once or twice.

oh god On the 10th floor, forced quests were scattered around, and on the 20th floor, people were forcibly brought in and forced to pay the debt.

Awesome Rilka!

The #1 NPC to be avoided by the community!

The restaurant owner rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache.

“No, why do you keep eating on credit when you have a lot of money?”

“The trauma is delicious!”

oh. It’s a bold and angry answer.

I guess I was thinking the same thing, so I made eye contact with the NPC.

[Bella-NPC]

-He’s running a snack bar.

-Looks like he wants to touch Rilka’s tail.

I read useless information.

As I sneakily follow her gaze, I feel my pupils rolling along the tail wagging here and there.

“Okay, pay the debt. Big if you don’t like it. It’s fine if you touch the tail once.”

“no!”

Rilka screamed and ran beside me.

and searched for my arms

what is this kid?

“Ehehe. The foreign minister is the foreign minister, and Deokchun brought it, right? You promised to let me touch you every time you came up the safe zone.”

After all, I had promised.

You remember this well.

He doesn’t like being touched, but he likes being touched by others.

It’s ridiculous and my head is spinning.

Either that or not, Rilka smiled brightly after taking Deokchun out of the armor.

“Come on, Deokchun! Unnie will be nice to you…”

-slap

“Ahhh!”

Deokchun cuts off the back of his hand, saying that there is nothing wrong with it.

Wait a little longer than that.

“…sister?”

Are you sure this guy is female?

When I turn my head to Deokchun in shock, he looks at me with an expression that he didn’t know until now.

How can I find out the gender of a frog?

Embarrassed several times today.

“Oh, that’s Rilka.”

“Is it that person this time?”

“The same thing happened on the 10th floor, but victims continue to appear on the 20th floor.”

“Top doesn’t know anything. Don’t catch a kid like that. This is the top. Fuck.”

Perhaps because of a little commotion, people gather.

I quickly put Deokchun inside the armor and whispered to Rilka.

“If you want to touch Deokchun, pay off the credit first and don’t buy and hit.”

“Why! You said you would let me touch you!”

“I didn’t say how or when I would let you touch it. Don’t twist it. You should let me touch it when I go up the portal later.”

“Ugh.”

Rilka, who had been shaking, wrinkled her nose and handed the pouch to NPC Bella.

heavy How the hell did you pay for it?

“I received 8700 credit points well.”

Although she couldn’t touch her tail, Bella, who was in a good mood after receiving the credit, smiled brightly.

A guy with no conscience. To spend 8700 points on credit.

Bella, who put up with that, is also amazing.

“You told me to pay you back for that? Hey.”

“evil!”

This guy who asked me to pay it back is more jackpot.

I was able to hit the night because I was possessed by Deokchun.

A guy holding his head.

That’s a pain.

Well, the work is almost done.

I need to get out before more people come in.

“It’s a bit quiet, let’s go and talk.”

“Mr. Lee.”

Rilka follows me obediently even while glaring at me.

“Thank you for today. Come once when you have time. I’ll give you something nice.”

Leaving behind Bella waving to me to come back, we headed for the alley.

There were fewer people than the 10th floor safety zone, so there were many quiet places.

“What are you here to talk about? The first time we met before, he came to the alley. Do you have an alleyway fetish?”

“…Don’t you think they usually come because they want to talk privately?”

done. I have no intention of falling for the pace of the man with the screw missing.

Let’s get right to the point.

“If you said you were a merchant, would you buy things too?”

“Anything worthwhile? Did you get anything interesting this time? I don’t need it.”

After thinking for a while, Rilka pointed at her neck.

“I’m thinking of buying Dalkan’s fur scarf you have. There are kids who like it.”

Sorry but I have no intention of selling it.

Fear effect on monsters below 2 stars.

Thanks to that, I can sleep with peace of mind on the field.

“Deokchun is thinking of living too!”

“Because they don’t sell.”

“To the ark.”

He let out a small sigh and opened the treasure bag.

A firm feel in the hand.

I’ll have to invest this much to get what I want.

I handed her the item and asked.

“You know about the fall line set, right?”
