CH 180

Unfinished barbell (1).

Mystery did not move for a long time even after answering.

Martial King stared at the Dynamite while waiting for her reaction. He also seemed to have no idea what to do.

After hesitation, Martial King put his hand under the armpit of Mystery and raised it up.

“Mystery.”

“Yes.”

Mystery muttered like a broken doll. It was as if an important part was missing.

A very large and important part that moved her entire life.

She is a person who has endured the resentment with evil throughout her life. Maybe it’s a natural reaction.

Martial King was anxious that she might fall asleep again as she was looking at the ghostly expression.

Mystery had no will for regression anyway, and she did not like regression itself.

It was curiosity that held her back.

Curiosity about Baek Ho-min going on a path he has never been to.

But in that life, he found a huge omission that could sway his entire life.

“Mystery.”

“Yes.”

Martial King thought she shouldn’t fall asleep again. But it was hard to explain why and why.

At that time, the phoenix approached with a sly look.

“You pretended to be so strong, but you’re only shaking this much. What about you, Mystery?

Martial King prepared to kick the firework. However, the phoenix stopped Martial King with a gesture.

It was a sign not to intervene.

Mystery looked at the phoenix with blurry eyes.

“You wouldn’t have completed your responsibilities left by Platinum Lord.”

“… What?”

“Platinum Lord left you a role to make you climb the tower even if you die. But you failed even though you ate the city pleasantly.”

“The phoenix, the role was not taken by Mystery because she wanted it. Platinum Lord will……”

“The moment you climbed the tower with the Raincoat of Platinum Lord on, you had already inherited her intentions. If it wasn’t for me, I could have climbed up by myself, right?”

Martial King also thought it would be better to kick the immortality. However, the moment I saw Mystery’s expression, I gave up my thoughts again.

Mystery’s eyes were burning like small fire under the ashes.

The phoenix looked satisfied at her expression.

“If you’ve changed your home life like that, shouldn’t you see anyone climb the tower?””

The lingering feeling that Mystery, who thought she had finished all her life without regret, grabbed it until the end.

It means that Platinum Lord’s ghost-like command to climb the tower should have been abandoned just before completion.

“Haha.”

Mystery smiled with a dry expression without a single expression. Then slowly approached the phoenix.

As soon as the phoenix pretended to be calm but tried to cover the groin, the mystery passed by him like a ghost.

The phoenix looked at the back of Mystery passing by. At that time, I felt someone standing behind my back. It was Martial King.

“Thank you.”

“I didn’t mean to say thank you.””

“Then why?”

The phoenix again stared at the back of Mystery and said.

“I think she’s trying to complete her life and run away on her own here.”

The phoenix murmured nervously, scratching the cut scar under the muffler.

“I can’t see things like that.” Whether it’s alive or dead, whether it’s me or others. Especially if you’re a mysterious person.”

“Something like that?”

The phoenix laughed ssiik at Martial King and glossed over the answer.

“Everyone has a graveyard that suits them.””

“Are you all ready?””

Kang hajin checked the hunters’ equipment and was ready to go up. All the hunters also looked at Kang Hae-jin with a firm look.

It was a more nervous moment than ever.

If you go up one more floor from here, you will be able to meet the beings of the other tower.

It was the first exchange since the civil war seven years ago. Of course, a small number of constellations arbitrarily broke through the floor and climbed above the six-story level.

However, such cases were very few, and they were unfamiliar to most hunters.

Kang hajin looked up.

The stairs to the 50th floor were inside Yeongjuseong Fortress.

Yeongjuseong Fortress, which once shone brightly in white, was now transformed into ruins covered with Eul’s old red crystals.

Thanks to Baek Ho-min’s ghost mansion, it was not too much to rest, but it was regrettable that a large space like Yeongju Castle could not be used.

“When did Geomuk say he’d come?””

“Oh, my. Soon…”…”

Yoo Ha-eul stammered and said.

Kang hajin was ready to go up to the next floor as soon as the expedition leader Geomuk arrived.

At that time, I heard the heavy footsteps of the giant.

“What’s this?”

The black clothes were not armed with light casual clothes.

Of course, it was clear that he was hiding a weapon somewhere in his body, but it was clear that he was not in a combat posture.

It was always completely different from the long shadow cloak to protect hunters whenever they went over to the next floor.

“Are you going to fight a war, Kang Hajin?”

“What? But when we move on to the next floor…”…”

“The 50th floor is a space where hunters from other towers gather. It’s different from a place where parasites are crowded. What would you think if all these people went in armed?”

“No, constellation giant.”

Platinum Lord appeared after Geomuk. Unlike Geomuk, she looked thoroughly armed.

Unlike the usual appearance of wearing only white gloves and dagger, she even wore a tension sword.

On the side, she even held a pocket full of platinum flowers that she soon consumed well as a “master.”

“I ordered the armament. Just in case.”

“…Youngju. I know Youngju has never met people from other towers, but I have met them several times. You don’t have to be armed like this. It just makes me nervous. There is no need to create a conflict between communities targeting the tower together.”

“It was seven years ago.”

Platinum Lord calmly crossed his arms and said.

“We were years behind in civil war. In the meantime, they don’t know how many floors higher than us. We will lack the level of equipment and the number of constellations. So what do you think we’ll look like to them?”

“… It’s going to look like you’re holding your ankle.””

“You have a great favor for humans. constellation 거묵.”

Platinum Lord laughed and said.

“We’ll be seen as prey. If they hadn’t already hit, smashed, and destroyed themselves. You’d better pray for that side.”

“Isn’t that too cynical?””

“Cold”?

Platinum Lord made a smiley face, pushing up the side of her mouth with her finger.

Her eyes didn’t move at all.

“If you want to continue to love humans, don’t love them too much. Because it doesn’t help you climb the tower.”

When Baek Ho-min moved on an elevator to join the expedition, he encountered a familiar face.

A hunter who taught him how to use his body when he was still a fresh hunter.

It was a teacher.

He sat in the same way as before with a cigarette in one hand and a bottle in the other.

“Baek Ho-min.”

He gulped down and said, nothing different from when he broke up.

His impersonally handsome appearance was still so good that he couldn’t even tell who he was.

“You’ve grown up a lot since you didn’t see each other.””

“The teacher seems to be more addicted to alcohol.”

Although it was only taught for a few days, Taijutsu and breathing methods he taught were of great help to the foundation of Baek Ho-min.

For this reason, Baek Ho-min respected him for now. It was hard to respect him drinking like water.

“It would be better if I kept getting drunk. My personality gets worse when I’m not drunk.”

“What brought you here?” During the expedition, you couldn’t even see my nose out.”

Baek Ho-min has no idea what kind of person the teacher is. It does not match anyone’s characteristics to constellation, and its name is not known to just be an excellent hunter.

I only knew that he was a hunter by the side of Platinum Lord who carried out her orders.

“I was carrying out Platinum Lord’s orders.”

“…I guess there was an order more important than the expedition?””

“Constellation implied people are known to be more pro-English than any other constellation, but weren’t you curious why she couldn’t even snore throughout the expedition?”

I was curious. I thought I would meet him at least once because he said he was definitely on top of the tower.

However, there has been no constellation that we have encountered since except death.

“I was also looking at the trends of other towers. The creation of constellations at once along with structural metamorphosis had a significant impact on other towers. That’s why implied people with exhibition vision skills were essential.”

It was clear that constellations that appeared at once meant super constellation.

Baek Ho-min still didn’t know if he could call the constellations Cho Constellation, but everyone called them that, so he was following.

“What influence did you have?””

“Well, but I think it was an opportunity to feel impatient.””

Baek Ho-min understood the teacher’s words.

The city of the Seoul Tower also agreed to pour all resources into the tower in order as soon as the reverse stream began.

Unintelligible fear makes people go to extremes.

“So why did you come to see me?” What does it have to do with observing towers?”

“I thought it would just give me a question.”

Quest?

Baek Ho-min wondered what the teacher was talking about for a moment.

Quest comes down like a sign of a tower. However, the teacher continued to talk calmly.

“I think we have no choice but to meet in person to explain further.”

The teacher touched the air and swung around. At that moment, I heard a familiar notification sound in Baek Ho-min’s ear.

[The tower will give you a hard time]

[[Trial: Youngjoo’s successor, Kang Hajin]

Protection]

“What?”

The content of the quest to protect Kang Hae-jin was strange. However, the strain was the title of ‘the successor to the lord’.

Baek Ho-min was embarrassed because he wondered what kind of ordeal this was.

“Kang hajin is more likely to die on the next floor. If he dies, there will be no one to become a lord in the next city for a long time. Your goal is to protect Kang hajin.”

“Why are you protecting Kang Hajin?” I’m the one who will take good care of his life on my own.”

“If you’re alone, that’s right.” But you’re not supposed to attack the top by yourself.”

Baek Ho-min imagined Kang Hae-jin risking his life for someone.

For Baek Ho-min, for Yueul, or for hunters.

It wasn’t to the point where it was hard to imagine.

Kang ha-jin has already jumped into the middle of the dead centipede to save Baek Ho-min, but it was a fight with a chance of winning.

However, it may be because it is very likely that the teacher will appear in person and give this quest.

Despite the high possibility of dying like that, I couldn’t think of only one case where Kang Ha-jin risked his life.

Baek Ho-min felt his heart cold.

“Is Platinum Lord dangerous?””

“Okay.”

The teacher nodded.

“Even the implied see Platinum Lord’s death as almost 99% probability. That’s why I’m thinking of saving only the successor to Yeongju.”

“Did you tell Platinum Lord?””

“Of course, but they didn’t respond much. It seemed that she had already expected it.”

If Platinum Lord’s life is in danger, Kang hajin will of course risk his own life.

Because he’s that kind of guy.

Except for Platinum Lord’s orders, neither one’s life nor freedom is considered important at all.

I don’t know why I was possessed so much, but it was Kang hajin.

“Why could Platinum Lord die?””

The teacher really didn’t know, so he tilted his head as if asking.

“I thought you would know”.”

“I don’t know.”

“You’re already in the spotlight because of your fast climb. Platinum Lord was targeted. In other words, this is not a complicated problem at all. It’s just a lack of power.”

“What?”

However, the number of constellations you have is too insufficient compared to the enemies you have to deal with. We’ve already warned of this situation. But I was in such a hurry.”

Baek Ho-min felt chilly. Stories about Platinum Lord’s preparation to climb the tower came to mind.

“The power difference is already impossible to cover even if I and the implied person participate.” The Seoul Tower can survive only when Platinum Lord dies.”
