Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 132

One hour before Iona appeared before Gonova.

Iona arrived at the entrance of the Gravity Magic Tower.

“Huh?! It’s Master Iona!”

The guards of the magic tower discovered Iona and called the wizards of the Council of Elders, who rushed out to greet her.

“We knew you were still alive!”

“We knew Master wouldn’t be gone for good!”

“Where is Gonova?”

“That is…”

“What is it?”

“He is meeting with other tower masters in the master’s chamber.”

“Other tower masters?”

“Yes. It seems the masters of the Flame Tower, Destruction Tower, and Meteor Tower have been making Gonova angry.”

“Is that so? Good. Everyone, leave the tower within an hour.”

“Pardon?!”

“Don’t make me say it twice! We’re building a new magic tower on the 99th floor! Everyone out!”

“Gasp! Yes! Everyone, get out of the tower! Only take what’s important!”

The Gravity Magic Tower is disappearing today!

The wizards from the Council of Elders saw Iona’s anger. They knew she was very serious. Quickly, they told everyone to get ready to leave the tower.

An hour later, after the tower was empty, Iona appeared before Gonova.

Gonova stammered, looking at Iona in disbelief. “H-how? This… this can’t be happening…”

“Ahem. Since the atmosphere isn’t great, we’ll take our leave.”

The three tower masters quickly tried to escape when Iona appeared.

But Iona did not allow them to escape. “Where do you think you’re going? You’re all in this together.”

Iona used her magic. “Power of gravity, strengthen yourself according to my command! Gravity Control.”

Rumble!

Iona manipulated gravity, increasing the force tenfold on the tower masters trying to escape.

“Ugh! Tower Master Gonova! What is the meaning of this?!”

“Tch! You incompetent fool! You said you had taken care of her?!”

“Tower Master Iona, we only found out later…”

The tower masters cried out, struggling under the crushing gravity.

“I don’t care. I didn’t like you lot either. I’ll deal with all of you at once. Power of gravity…”

These were the tower masters who had always interfered with Iona’s affairs in the Magic Association. Iona gathered her magic power, preparing a spell.

“‘I’m going to die!'”

Gonova, seeing Iona was serious about casting a spell, hastily tried to calm Iona down. “T-Tower Master Iona! No matter how angry you are, this is the Gravity Magic Tower! Stop, unless you intend to kill all the other wizards as well!”

But Iona had already decided to eliminate them along with the tower. “It’s alright. There’s no one but us in the tower. Black Hole!”

Whooooosh.

“No!!!”

With a sound like tearing fabric, a massive black hole ripped open in the air. It began to suck in Gonova and the three tower masters.

Crack!

It began to absorb the Gravity Magic Tower.

“Nightmare, inflict a curse upon them as well.”

-Heh heh heh. Sometimes, you seem more suited to be a Demon King than I am.

“Quiet!”

-Understood. I’ll do as you wish.

Red mist entered the black hole and permeated the bodies of the three tower masters. Death was not the end after receiving the curse. From then on, it was the beginning of an endless nightmare.

Endure or succumb. And if they succumbed, they would become Nightmare’s slaves, fighting without rest or death for Nightmare’s amusement, suffering eternally.

And Iona’s revenge was just beginning. Once they died and became Nightmare’s slaves, she intended to kill them again and again in their nightmares, inflicting endless pain.

-But haven’t you been staying awake too much lately?

Nightmare said, feeling somewhat neglected. Since Iona wasn’t entering the nightmare, he naturally assumed she was deliberately staying awake.

Iona didn’t answer Nightmare’s question, only smiled as she watched the Gravity Magic Tower disappear.

Sejun’s farm on the 99th floor of the tower.

-Move that over here!

-Harvest the carrots now!

The Black Dragon Statue and the White Dragon Statue were diligently directing the rabbits, venomous honeybees, mushroom ants, and black minotaurs, who were all members of Sejun’s farm.

However, a difference of opinion arose between Kaiser and Kellion, and they began to argue, each insisting they were right.

-No! This is where we need to deploy the mushroom ants!

-What are you talking about?! We need to deploy the venomous honeybees here!

Sejun wasn’t there to mediate their fight, and so they fought for quite some time.

And the conclusion they reached: there could not be two leaders under one sky.

Let’s choose a leader!

The two dragons chose farming as the method to select their leader. They divided the fields and monsters into two, planted seeds, and decided to compete to see who could harvest more.

-How dare you challenge me, the great Black Dragon?!

-Hmph! I’ll make you pay the price for challenging the great White Dragon!

And so the competition began.

-How boring. Kellion, shall we have a drink?

-Shall we?

Harvesting would take months, and the monsters were doing the farming. The only thing the dragons could do was watch the monsters farming.

-I’ll drink my liquor. You bring the snacks.

-Alright.

Kellion flew to the storage and chose sweet potatoes, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and more.

As he left the storage, he gave money to the rabbit guarding the entrance. “Here, 1000 Tower Coins.”

If he asked, the rabbit would gladly offer him the crops, but he wanted to set an example as the farm manager.

The rabbit, having received the money, bowed to Kellion in gratitude.

Just as Kellion was about to fly away with the snacks, a newly born baby rabbit came out of Sejun’s house with something larger than its body. It was a rectangular object made of a thin, strange material.

-What is that?

The baby rabbit answered Kellion. “I don’t know either! I found it!”

-Let’s trade that for this.

Kellion handed over a carrot, and the baby rabbit gave the item in its hand to Kellion without hesitation.

Kellion flew to Kaiser with the snacks and the item he received from the baby rabbit and began to drink.

-Kuh. This mango juice is good.

-Indeed. It’s really delicious.

-But what is that?

Kaiser, who was drinking, showed interest in the item Kellion had brought.

-I don’t know. I’ll look into it later.

-Give it to me for a moment.

Kaiser began to examine the item. A moment later, he said, “It’s a tool that operates with lightning. Lightning.”

Kaiser, having figured out how it worked with a scan spell, created a weak electric current.

The surface of the item lit up. It was Sejun’s smartphone.

-Hooh. It’s locked. Open up.

Magic has logic and algorithms. Since it was similar to the smartphone’s program, Kaiser easily figured out the structure. And with magic power and will, he simply unlocked the pattern.

As Sejun’s smartphone unlocked, a picture of Sera, a member of the girl group Moonlight Fairies, appeared on the wallpaper.

-Who is this?

-What are you doing with delicious liquor in front of you? Just drink.

-That’s right. This isn’t the time to look at this.

Kaiser, unaware of what he had done, happily drank the mango juice again.

The administrator’s area of the Black Tower.

Aileen was sad because she couldn’t see Sejun. “When is Sejun coming?” The 99th floor farm without Sejun wasn’t interesting at all.

“It’s no fun… I miss Sejun. Eating, farming…”

But since there was nothing else to do, she was looking at the crystal ball to relieve her boredom.

Aileen, who was looking at the crystal ball, trembled with anger. She had seen the woman who appeared on the smartphone wallpaper as Kaiser unlocked it.

And Aileen knew that the owner of that smartphone was Sejun. She felt terrible.

Aileen roared, calling out Sejun’s name. “I won’t forgive you! Park! Se! Jun-!”

Sejun woke up in the morning, shivering.

“President Park, are you alright?”

The animals asked about his well-being.

“No. Ugh. What is it? Why is it so cold?”

Sejun rubbed his body with his hands, feeling the chilly air.

Kkuengi grew to about 2 meters in size and wrapped his body around Sejun. It didn’t seem to be just because of that, but Sejun didn’t refuse because he liked Kkuengi’s soft, warm fur.

“Hehehe. It’s fluffy.”

Just as Sejun was about to fall asleep again, enjoying the peace, the black minotaur, wolves, and monkeys who had been waiting for Sejun to wake up approached.

“Sejun has woken up!”

“Why? Is there something you want to say?”

“Sejun! We want to go treasure hunting too!”

Elka said as the representative.

“What?! Treasure hunting?”

He wondered what was going on. Treasure hunting? While Sejun was unconscious, Kkuengi had been bragging about winning the treasure hunt, and the other animals, wanting to join in, wanted to go treasure hunting too.

Especially the canines, the wolves, were particularly eager. Finding things was their specialty.

And so, a treasure hunt competition was suddenly held.

“Alright. Find these silver ingots with numbers on them.”

Sejun said, showing a silver ingot with his name and the number 100 engraved on it. The golden bat had already thrown the silver ingots with the numbers 1 to 99 in various places.

“The time limit is until lunchtime! Alright. Start!”

Sejun threw the silver ingot as far as he could, declaring the start of the treasure hunt.

“Yes!”

The animals hurried to find the treasure and scattered.

The black rabbit also ran out, determined to be the first today.

As the surroundings became quiet, Sejun used the Proficiency Stones he couldn’t use yesterday because he fainted to increase his skill proficiency.

Originally, he wanted to raise the level of the Seed Shop skill, which would increase the types and amounts of seeds he could purchase, but he couldn’t use Proficiency Stones on the Seed Shop skill.

So, he used all 45 Proficiency Stones that Theo, the black rabbit, and Kkuengi had found yesterday, raising his proficiency by 740, but unfortunately, his level didn’t increase.

At that moment, he heard the song of the golden bat, who had started working earlier, from afar.

“I should work too.”

Sejun began to heal the banana tree.

Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 4 is activated. The banana tree’s disease is gradually being healed while the touch is maintained.

“But President Theo, do they also sell land deeds in the shopping district?”

“I’ve never seen them! I’ll go and check next time!”

It was natural that Theo didn’t know. Land deeds were so expensive that even ordinary wandering merchants couldn’t buy them; only the best wandering merchants could trade them.

“If you see any other land deeds, be sure to buy them. Especially if you see a land deed for the 1st floor of the tower, be sure to buy it.”

If he had a land deed for the 1st floor of the tower, he could go to the 1st floor.

“Understood. But does President Park want to leave the tower?”

Theo looked at Sejun with sad eyes. ‘Are you going to abandon us?’

“Huh?!”

Sejun was taken aback by Theo’s words.

Kkuengi clung to Sejun’s leg after hearing Theo’s words. “Daddy, take Kkuengi too!”

“Don’t worry. We are one. I won’t leave unless it’s together with you.”

He vaguely wanted to leave the tower, but it didn’t mean he was going to leave. He had a home to return to here. And other family members too.

“Great! Shall we shout our slogan for the first time in a while? We are one!”

“We are one!”

On the 287th day of being stranded, Sejun, Theo, and Kkuengi shouted their slogan for the first time in a long while.
