Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 307

“Just a moment.” Sejun answered Kellion’s call.

Plop.

Sniff?

Sejun picked up Fenrir, who was happily munching on sweet potato snacks, and held him close. He held Fenrir so he wouldn’t take off his armor.

As Sejun stepped outside with Fenrir,

“Hehehe. Is that our Sejun coming out?” Kellion asked, his voice full of affection.

“Our Sejun?!” Kaiser reacted, sounding annoyed.

“Hehehe. Why are you getting so worked up? Our Kaiser,” Kellion said, excited about the power of light and ignoring Kaiser’s grumbling.

“What?! Our Kaiser?! Are you crazy?!” Kaiser’s face went red, and his voice rose.

“Kellion, why did you call me?” Sejun quickly stepped in, worried that a fight would break out and Fenrir would get hurt. Sejun knew Fenrir was easily hurt, so he wanted to keep him safe.

“Ah, Sejun, the reason I called is… Sejun, sell me the seeds of that flower!” Kellion said, pointing.

“Flower?” Sejun looked where Kellion was pointing and saw the Sunbeam Flower and the Accuracy Persimmon Tree.

“Ah, right. That was there.” Sejun almost forgot about the other plants. He had used the Harvest Potion on them earlier, but pizza making had taken over his mind.

‘I should check it out.’ Just as Sejun was about to move,

“Quickly now, Sejun!” Kellion said, his voice full of excitement. He didn’t wait for Sejun to move.

*Grab!*

“Huh?!” Sejun gasped as strong arms lifted him suddenly. Before he could blink, Kellion had scooped him up and launched into the air.

The wind rushed past Sejun’s face as they soared upwards. Below, the tower shrunk away. Then, with a *whoosh*, they landed gently in front of a magnificent flower. Its petals glowed with a soft, golden light, like captured sunshine. It stood taller than Sejun, its yellow petals unfurling like a welcoming smile.

“Hurry and harvest it!”

“Yes.”

Pluck.

At Kellion’s urging, Sejun plucked one of the Sunbeam Seeds from inside the flower.

[You have obtained a Sunbeam Seed.] [Your job experience has slightly increased.] [The proficiency of Seed Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.] [You need to use the Seed Harvesting skill 746,159 more times to complete the job quest.]

Although he could harvest all the seeds at once by breaking the flower, Sejun did not do so in order to complete the job quest.

“Please take a look first.”

“Hehehe. Thank you!” When Sejun handed the seed to Kellion,

[You have achieved the feat of creating a new species in the tower.]

[All stats increase by 10 due to job characteristics.]

A new species achievement message appeared.

“Oh?! This was a new species? As expected, Vice Chairman Theo, you did well!” Sejun praised Theo, who had brought the Sunbeam Seeds, pleased by the unexpected message.

“Puhuhut. I know! I, Vice Chairman Theo, always do well, meow!” Theo proudly puffed out his chest.

Sniff?! Sniff?!

‘What?! I ate and spat that out, so why is the power of light coming from here?!’ Fenrir looked at the Sunbeam Seeds and flower, confused.

‘What have I done…?’ He went into the Black Tower to find the Black Fruit, but instead, he ended up helping them find the power of light…

And it was the power of light, the power with the highest resistance to the power of destruction.

In the past, it was difficult to fight when the white dragons with the power of light defended while the other dragons attacked. That’s why they lost…

If this became known to the other apostles of destruction, it would be the most humiliating thing ever.

Sniff…

‘I’m Fenrir, the 1st seat of the Apostles of Destruction… and I’m helping the dragons….’ Fenrir’s ears and tail drooped in despair.

At that moment,

“Chairman Park, Blackie also helped get the seeds, meow! Blackie brought the seeds….” Theo began to speak, hearing Fenrir’s cries. Puhuhut. Blackie, I understand, meow!

He thought Fenrir was crying because he wanted them to acknowledge his help in getting the Sunbeam Seeds. Thanks to that, everyone knew what Fenrir had done.

“Blackie did well too.” Sejun, hearing Theo’s words, took out sweet potato snacks to give to Fenrir.

Sniff!

‘Food!’ Fenrir’s gloomy attitude changed instantly.

Twitch.

Fenrir’s ears perked up.

Thump thump.

His tail wagged uncontrollably.

Forgetting his worries, Fenrir focused only on the food. Predators do not think about other things when hunting. It was a magnificent concentration worthy of a noble wolf.

“Here you go.”

Munch. Munch. Munch.

‘Hehehe. Food!’ While Fenrir was eating the sweet potato snacks,

“You two brought the Sunbeam Seeds! I must give you a great reward.” Kellion was about to give them a reward.

“Puhuhut. Kellion, what are you going to give us, meow?!”

“I will give you the surname Mamv.”

“Meow?! No thanks, meow! I am a Park, meow!” Theo, who had Sejun’s surname, rejected Kellion’s offer. My name is Theo Park.

“Hahaha.” Kaiser, who had already been rejected by Theo, laughed at Kellion.

“Ahem… is that so?!” Kellion was embarrassed.

“Then… I will give you my skin.” After thinking, Kellion decided to give his skin.

“Good, meow!”

“Done.” As soon as Theo agreed, Kellion changed Theo’s skin and Fenrir’s skin. Thanks to that, Fenrir was gradually moving further away from being an Apostle of Destruction.

Pluck. Pluck.

While Theo and Fenrir were receiving rewards, Sejun began to harvest the Sunbeam Seeds.

White Tower Administrator Area.

“Did you call me, Grandfather?” Ajax appeared, having received Kellion’s call.

“Yes. Come here.” Kellion called Ajax with a serious face.

“Uh… Grandfather, what’s wrong…?” Ajax cautiously approached, looking around, noticing Kellion’s unusual mood.

“Look at this.” Kellion handed the Sunbeam Seed to Ajax.

“What is this? I can feel the power of light.”

“It’s called a Sunbeam Seed.”

“Ah… but is that why you called me?” Ajax was born after the white dragons lost the power of light and was puzzled.

To Ajax, the Sunbeam Seed was just a mysterious seed containing the power of light.

“Sigh…” Kellion sighed as he looked at Ajax. ‘Can I trust him with such an important matter?’ Kellion’s face showed his worry.

There was a reason why Kellion was doing this. It was because of the Sunbeam Seed.

‘With this much power, eating hundreds of thousands of them won’t restore the old power.’ When Kellion first saw the Sunbeam Seed, he was disappointed by the small amount of light power. However, he discovered another way to get more light power than by eating the seeds: planting them.

The Sunbeam attracted the power of light, like the Darkbeam brought in curses. Kellion planned to grow many Sunbeams in the White Tower to gather the light power.

If enough light power collected, the white dragons could regain their strength just by being near it. And planting the Sunbeam was something that Ajax, the Tower Farmer, had to do.

‘Ah… why is he so serious today? Can’t I just leave?’ Ajax grumbled, looking at Kellion’s serious face.

“Grandson, go study abroad.” Kellion said firmly, having made a decision.

“Yes?! Study abroad?”

“Yes. Go to the Black Tower and learn farming from Sejun!”

“What?!” Ajax had become Sejun’s slave but had been living comfortably because he didn’t have to see him.

“I will get permission from Sejun.”

“Yes?!” Please refuse! Ajax desperately hoped Sejun would refuse.

“Done.” Sejun harvested about 3,000 seeds from the Sunbeam Flower.

Pluck.

He picked up one seed and looked at it.

[Sunbeam Seed] The seeds of the Sunbeam grown inside the tower are delicious because they have absorbed enough nutrients. The taste and efficiency have been improved by the Tower Farmer Park Sejun. It can grow even in places without light because it absorbs and stores light. It attracts the power of light as it grows. (The more Sunbeams grow, the stronger the power to attract the power of light becomes.) When consumed, a very small amount of the power of light is stored in the body. (If you have the power of light, resistance to impure things increases.) Grower: Tower Farmer Park Sejun Expiration date: 150 days Grade: A

“The power of light?” Sejun wondered.

“That is the power that the Creator God gave to our white dragons, but it is a lost power,” Kellion answered, having watched Sejun harvest the seeds.

“Lost power? Ah… so…,” Sejun understood why Kellion had been so excited.

“Sejun, would it be alright to grow the Sunbeams in the White Tower?” Kellion asked.

“In the White Tower? Yes, go ahead. But you know the deal, right?”

“Hehehe. Of course. I will bring all the harvested seeds to you,” Kellion answered, knowing what Sejun wanted.

“Um… so, about that… Ajax has to grow the Sunbeams in the White Tower….” Kellion carefully brought up the topic.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But as you know… Ajax’s farming skills aren’t very good….”

“Yes, that’s… right?” Sejun felt something was strange.

“So, I was thinking of sending Ajax here… would that be alright?” Kellion said he would send Ajax to the Black Tower.

‘What?! Ajax?! That can’t happen.’ Sejun refused. What if he kills our Blackie?

Just Ajax’s presence would put Fenrir in danger. Moreover, crops would die if exposed to Ajax’s energy.

‘It’s hard on me too.’ It’s not that it’s not hard on him, just that he doesn’t faint like he used to.

In the past, he had to swallow his pride and confess his weakness, but now he could just sell Fenrir.

Snore.

Fenrir, unaware of being treated as the weakest, was sleeping in Sejun’s arms.

‘Hehehe. Thank you, Blackie.’ Sejun looked lovingly at Fenrir.

“Don’t worry. I will seal Ajax’s power,” Kellion answered. It was something he had already considered.

“Yes? Seal?”

“Yes. With this much power in this statue.”

Kellion planned to send a statue with Ajax. Ajax was too weak to move it, so the seal would stay in place.

“Well… with that much power, it should be fine.”

“Alright. Wait a moment.” The white dragon statue stopped briefly.

“Now, summon Ajax.” Kellion, who had sealed Ajax’s power, returned.

“Yes. Ajax Summon.”

[Summoning White Tower’s Tower Farmer Ajax Mamv.]

About 10 seconds after the message appeared,

“I don’t want to! I don’t want to go!” A cute white dragon, about the size of Kkuengi, appeared. He was lying on the floor, stubbornly refusing. He was fluffy and had big, pleading eyes.

“Ajax, get up.” This was not the White Tower where they would let Ajax do whatever he wanted.

‘Hehehe. I can finally use Ajax,’ thought Park Sejun.

“Puhuhut. Slave, get up quickly, meow!” Theo Park said.

Sniff?!

[Dad, who is this?!] Kkuengi asked.
