Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 396

The Treasure Vault of the Lizard Kingdom

Black Tower, 70th floor.

“Phoenix is waiting for us. Heh heh heh. Ready to find the treasure? Let’s go, everyone!”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow! Let’s sweep it all up, meow!”

Sejun and his friends went into the 70th floor of the Black Tower to find the Lizard Kingdom’s treasure vault.

The tower was huge, and the paths inside twisted and turned in many directions. It was easy to get lost, but

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, it’s over there, meow! My front paws are pulling me, meow!”

Theo, holding onto Sejun’s knee, lifted his front paws and guided Sejun to the treasure vault.

“Heh heh heh. I’m really excited,” Sejun said, his heart beat faster at the thought of all the treasure.

“Puhuhut. Just trust me, meow, Chairman Park!”

Theo, the professional treasure vault looter, boasted in an arrogant voice, puffing out his chest.

“Alright. I’ll trust you, Vice Chairman Theo.”

Sejun said, stroking Theo’s head.

Usually, Theo’s bragging would have bothered Sejun, but today, Theo’s confidence made Sejun feel safe and sure they would find the treasure.

Soon,

“Is it here?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! It’s here, meow!”

Sejun and his party, with Theo’s paws leading the way, arrived in front of a huge, heavy door.

As the party hurriedly tried to open the door and enter the treasure vault,

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Just a moment! There’s magic cast on it!”

Iona stopped the party. The door was protected by many layers of magic to keep people out.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut…”

Iona analyzed the patterns of the magic cast on the treasure vault, and then

“Cancel.”

With a single spell, she undid all the security magic cast on the treasure vault. That’s why she’s a Great Mage!

Kkueng!

Kkuengi used his strength to open the door of the treasure vault, which had its magic undone.

Kugung.

The door opened with a heavy sound. Inside, mountains of jewels and gold reached the ceiling.

“Puhuhut. We just need to fill it up from here to there, meow!”

Theo drew a line in the center of the treasure vault floor, showing the party how much treasure they should take.

While the party was busy gathering treasure,

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Sejun began to tap on the walls and floor of the treasure vault.

“Meow? What are you doing, Chairman Park, meow?”

“Heh heh. Just wait and see. There’s definitely a hidden space in a place like this…”

Sejun said in an excited voice. He had seen it many times in movies.

Well… it doesn’t matter if I don’t find it. I’m just looking for fun.

“Meow?! Really, meow?! Can you find a hidden space, Chairman Park?!”

Theo, clinging to Sejun’s leg, looked at Sejun with eyes full of respect at Sejun’s answer. As expected, Chairman Park is amazing, meow!

Even though Theo was amazing at finding treasure himself, he thought everything Sejun did was incredible. He was a big fan of Sejun.

“Of course.”

I must find it!

Sejun’s eyes became serious at Theo’s gaze. Until a moment ago, it was just for fun, but now he had to find it to look cool in front of Theo.

As Sejun was diligently tapping on the wall,

Thung.

“Huh?”

The sound is strange here.

Unlike other places, a light sound rang out from the right corner wall of the treasure vault, indicating that the other side was empty. Luckily, there really was a hidden room!

“Vice Chairman Theo, your claws, please.”

“Understood, meow!”

With a *snick* of claws,

As Theo pulled out his claws, Sejun grabbed Theo’s front paw and began to cut the wall in a circle with a determined expression.

After cutting the floor completely,

Thwack.

With a *thwack*, Sejun kicked the cut section of wall. It *thudded* to the ground, revealing…

“Oh! There it is.”

A hidden passage appeared.

“Kkuengi.”

Kkueng?

[Daddy, did you call?]

Kkuengi, who was putting treasures in Sejun’s subspace warehouse at Sejun’s call, ran over.

“Yeah. Let’s explore over there with Daddy.”

As Sejun pointed to the passage beyond the wall,

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi likes exploring!]

He quickly stood in front of Sejun, his designated position.

“Then let’s go.”

Sejun, with Theo, Kkuengi, and Iona in front, entered the passage.

Unlike the treasure vault, the passage was dark because there were no lights, but

“Light.”

It wasn’t uncomfortable because of Iona’s magic.

As they moved along the passage, the passage opened into a room. The walls shimmered, made entirely of gold.

“What is this?”

In the center of the room stood a statue of a lizardman, carved from dark stone. A single red jewel glowed brightly in its forehead, like a burning eye.

As Sejun looked at the Lizardman statue with a red jewel embedded in its forehead, standing in the middle of the room,

‘Fate does not yet desire my, Kelly’s, death.’

The being inside the red jewel also looked at Sejun.

Kelly, the Lizardmen’s tribal god.

Kelly had been enshrined here since the first Lizard Kingdom was established.

However, with Dino, his ancient enemy, sealed away, Kelly had lost hope and was waiting to fade away, but then Sejun and his party came in.

Kelly hurriedly searched the surroundings for a body to enter.

‘Hmm. He’s the weakest in strength, but he’s the leader here. I’ll have to use him.’

Kelly chose Sejun as the body he would enter. He was weak in strength, but it was clear that everyone in the party relied on Sejun.

As Kelly prepared to move into Sejun’s body,

Woong.

The red jewel began to shine.

“Chairman Park, it’s dangerous, meow! Step back, meow!”

Theo, who had already experienced it, shouted at Sejun and rushed towards the Lizardman statue, snatching the red jewel.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Guide me to the ultra-gigantic Chairman Park, meow…”

Theo lost consciousness.

“Vice Chairman Theo!”

Sejun hurriedly laid Theo on his lap and checked Theo’s condition,

Kkweeng! Kkweeng!

[Big brother also fainted! Everyone is so weak!]

Kkuengi cried and massaged Theo’s body as Sejun and Theo fainted in succession for a day.

However, unlike their worries, the corners of Theo’s mouth were slightly raised.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. It looks like he’s having a good dream.”

Iona, who had already experienced it, smiled as she watched Theo dreaming.

A short while later,

[You have defeated Kelly, the tribal god of the Lizardmen.]

[Due to the effect of >Title: God Slayer>, you absorb some of the power of Kelly, the tribal god of the dead Lizardmen.]

[All stats increase by 20.]

[Mental Strength increases by 100.]

Sejun’s stats increased along with the message that he had defeated a god.

Thanks to this, Sejun learned how he had obtained the God Slayer.

It’s because of Theo.

He didn’t understand why what Theo had defeated was counted as what he had defeated.

But he just accepted it.

Things always got strange when Theo was involved.

“But the God Slayer had this kind of effect.”

As Sejun said with a smile, experiencing the effect of >Title: God Slayer> for the first time,

“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park’s lap is the best, meow!”

Theo, who had opened his eyes, rubbed his body diligently against Sejun’s lap.

As Theo woke up,

“Heh heh heh. Everyone, let’s pack this up too.”

“Puhuhut. As expected of Chairman Park, meow! I didn’t even think of taking the wall, meow!”

Theo, who had learned a trick from Sejun, admired and tore down the golden wall of the room where Kelly was. He tore down only half of the wall, as agreed.

The four successfully looted the hidden place.

“Heh heh heh.”

“Puhuhut.”

Kkuhehehe.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut.”

They returned to the treasure vault and began to collect the remaining treasures.

With the hidden room looted, they returned to the main treasure vault to finish collecting the rest. Meanwhile, far away…

The Red Dragon’s Lair.

“Fwahaha. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.”

Lamter, the leader of the Great Red Dragon, said as he looked around.

The dragons had eaten all the soup, delicious cakes made of rice, and fruit that Sejun had prepared, and were now drinking alcohol with hot and spicy fish stew as a snack.

Drinking alcohol with spicy fish stew was a perfect match for the drink.

The second dragon meeting was successful, but as a result, the other leaders felt a little worried.

The other dragon leaders looked at each other, thinking about how they would ever top this feast. This was because they had to do at least this much when they held the next dragon meeting.

However, there were two leaders who did not feel worried.

One was Artemis Yul, the leader of the Great Golden Dragon, who had already held a dragon meeting.

The other was Kaiser Fritani, the leader of the Great Black Dragon, who would be hosting the next 3rd dragon meeting.

Since the Black Tower was where the 3rd dragon meeting would be held, he should have been more worried, but Kaiser was not worried at all.

No, rather, he was waiting for the 30 days to pass quickly so that the 3rd dragon meeting could begin.

‘Khehehehe. There’s plenty of time left, so I should ask our Sejun to make the next dragon meeting even grander.’

Kaiser’s head was filled with thoughts of hosting a dragon meeting even grander than Lamter’s.

“Khehehehe. The alcohol tastes good.”

“Hey. Take it easy. You’re next after me.”

As Kellion looked at Kaiser, who was making a smug expression as if he had already won, with an uneasy expression,

“Fwahaha. Now, let’s all toast for the prosperity of the great dragon race! To the great dragon race!”

“Cheers!”

While the dragons were drinking,

“Kids, let’s go see Aileen. Aileen must be bored being alone.”

“Let’s go! Let’s go buy something delicious to eat!”

“Yeah! Garlic, who is Aileen’s older brother, has to play with Aileen!”

“Ah! Me too! Sylvia, who is her older sister, will play with Aileen too!”

The hatchlings were worried about Aileen, the youngest, who was alone, and thought about going to the Black Tower to play with her.

As all six hatchlings agreed to go to the Black Tower,

“Mom, I want to go to the Black Tower!”

“Mom, I want to go to the Black Tower and play with Aileen!”

“Dad! Sylvia wants to go to the Black Tower!”

The hatchlings went to where their parents were gathered and collectively conveyed their firm will. They would cry right away if they didn’t allow it! They would really cry!

The parents, who wanted to play a little more, sighed and flew to the Black Tower, holding the hatchlings.

“Ah. It’s already full.”

Sejun said, looking at the subspace warehouse full of treasures.

“Then let’s put the rest in Vice Chairman Theo’s bundle.”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”

While the party was putting treasures in Theo’s bundle this time,

Whimper…

Fenrir woke up.

“Blackie, you’re awake? Are you hungry?”

Sejun placed Fenrir’s bowl on one side of the treasure vault, filled it with milk, and added 3 dried sweet potato slices.

He gave him 3 because he had missed his meal while sleeping, but

Keeheet. Whimper!

‘Heehee. As expected, he’s a butler who knows gratitude!’

Fenrir thought that Sejun knew that he had saved him.

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.

While Fenrir was diligently eating,

“Oof!”

Sejun moved the treasures again.

At that time,

Piyot!

[Sejun, I found it!]

Piyot, who was carrying treasures, flew to Sejun with a document in his legs. He had found the land document for the 68th floor of the tower.

“Good job, Piyot. Eat this.”

Sejun, who received the land document, stroked Piyot’s head and handed Piyot a bag of peanuts.

Piyot!

[Thank you!]

Ppeuheut.

Piyot smiled brightly as he took the peanut bag.

A short while later,

“Let’s go.”

Sejun and his party, who had taken half of the treasures in the treasure vault, came out.

As they were coming out,

Kokki!

Phoenix’s cry was heard from outside.

“What is it? Let’s get out of here quickly. Kkuengi.”

Kkueng!

[Understood!]

Kkuengi used telekinesis to lift Sejun and Yuren, who couldn’t fly, and quickly moved outside.

Theo was on Sejun’s lap, and Iona was hanging on Theo’s tail, so they moved with Sejun.

As they went outside,

“Capture it!”

“Don’t overdo it and tie up its wings first!”

Thousands of skeleton wizards were hunting the Phoenix.

“Kkyu-kkyu-kkyu-O power of gravity. Crush the enemy according to my command. Gravity Control.”

Iona, furious that they dared to attack Phoenix, who belonged to Theo, used gravity magic,

Clatter.

The skeletons, crushed by 5x gravity, were instantly destroyed.

While the skeletons were being destroyed,

‘Puhuhut. They dared to target my, Vice Chairman Theo’s, slave, meow! It’s time to get the seal, meow!’

Theo, Kkuengi, Piyot, and Yuren found the skeletons’ thumb bones and received seals on the contract.

“You fiend! What are you doing?! Our comrades will avenge us!”

A skeleton, with only its skull remaining because it hadn’t recovered yet, shouted to intimidate the enemy,

“Meow?! There are more comrades, meow?”

That was very welcome news to Theo.

“Where are the comrades, meow?”

“That is…”

“Tell me quickly, meow!”

Theo, the Slave King, kept asking where the next group of slaves were.
