CH 181

Unfinished barbell (2).

‘The time will come for you to choose one day. Promise me. If you have a situation where you have to weigh me and the tower, you will choose the tower.’

Baek Ho-min remembered the story that Platinum Lord told. However, I didn’t know that such a situation would already come like this.

Fortunately, however, the moment of choice did not come unexpectedly.

“Who’s killing Platinum Lord?””

The teacher turned his head at an angle.

“constellation들.”

He muttered as if he was upset just by mentioning it.

“Constellations that you can’t handle.”

“Before I go up, I thought I should give you information on other towers, so I called up.”

The meeting room of Yeongju Fortress on the 5th floor. Platinum Lord began the meeting with the workshop owners and representative hunters.

“It was seven years ago that we officially met hunters from other towers. Some hunters and constellations have met with hunters from other towers, but proper exchanges have stopped since then. I think a lot of information has changed in the meantime.”

“Then most of the information must have been accumulated during the teaching period.”

Said like a black mumbling. Platinum Lord nodded.

“First of all, as far as we know, there are five towers around the world, including our towers. So, in the early days, it was called the Seoul Tower, Prague Tower, New York Tower, Cairo Tower, and Beijing Tower after its name.”

It was a familiar place name for Geomuk and Hani, but ten rings were information only known by knowledge.

The Seoul Tower was still called by many people.

The towers were built mainly in large cities with a large population. Thanks to this, many people were able to survive despite the rapid collapse.

“There was also a tower built after the sun disappeared, so it may have been built more. But anyway, those five towers reached the 50th floor. Since then, the place names have become meaningless, and different names have been given after the characteristics and abilities of each lord.”

Platinum Lord spread a large piece of paper on the table. On top of it, five pagodas were placed in the shape of pentagonal stars.

Each tower had the same shape, but a picture that seemed to express each personality was drawn crookedly next to it.

“First of all, Prague Tower…”… This place is now called the Ghost Tower. The lord of the ghost tower has the nickname Skull Crown. This is a unique case in which the head of the cemetery library concurrently served as a lord.”

A cute ghost picture was drawn on the spot pointed out as the Prague Tower.

Ten rings murmured as if they were wondering.

“Do you mean the cemetery director?” Don’t you make a pledge of silence there?”

“By the time of Yeongju, there will be a lot of food to talk about instead.””

Platinum Lord pointed to the next tower, saying so.

A picture surrounding the tower was seen with a strain rod human with his limbs open.

“The Tower of New York. It’s now called the Tower of Ivory.” Youngjoo is an ivory queen. An organization called Doll Workshop is leading the tower. Hunters on this side are more likely not to be human, so be careful not to rush to judge them as parasites and attack them.”

Everyone was embarrassed by the fact that the hunters may not be human.

I’ve seen a doll workshop in the Geomeuk ivory tower. It was a case in which the magic of the circuit developed in an amazing direction.

“If you’re not a human, what do you mean?””

“It’s an ivory doll.” You’ll know when you see it later. They said that the population was so insufficient that it developed in that direction.”

Platinum Lord calmly replied. Her fingertips went over to the next tower.

There’s a violent…Rather than that, a cute-looking dog was barking at the tower. It was a dog painted black.

“Next is the Tower of Cairo. It is now called a shade tower. Uniquely, the dog necklace workshop is the mainstream here. It is said that it has actively pioneered the world beyond the boundaries where the light of the tower cannot reach. But thanks to that, it’s kind of…… There is a personality problem.”

“Not a few people are sane as trainers in the dog necklace workshop.”

All the workshop owners nodded.

All trainers are socially rejected. It is not just because of the risk or the single-minded nature.

This is because if you wander through the ruins full of ghosts alone in the darkness where it is hard to find a single ray of light, you will naturally feel strange.

“That side looks a little dangerous.”

“Even regular hunters can be very dangerous, so you’d better not encounter them as much as possible.”

The next tower was a bar man stretching toward the sky with a knife.

“Next is the Beijing Tower.” It’s called the ascending tower. Youngju is the Great Emperor. This side is simple. Armed martial arts are the mainstream, and I think it is the most common form. However, it is recommended to be careful because the circuit is used in a violent and dangerous way.”

“I like it because it’s simple.”

When he heard that armed battles were the mainstream, the black nodded as if he liked it.

In the case of the Seoul Tower, there are many hunters in armed martial arts, but Platinum Lord, a native of circuit martial arts, plays the role of a lord.

At the same time, the social mainstream was a pension workshop, so the subtle balance was preventing the Seoul Tower from being biased to either side.

“And the last one. It’s the top of Seoul Tower.”

Platinum Lord pointed to the last tower.

The tower had no special characteristics, but it was decorated with a sparkling effect.

“7 years ago, it was called the Tower of eternity.”

“Because I was a member of the church forever”. Then it’ll be called the platinum tower now.”

“Yes. I think so, too.”

Platinum Lord lifted a pen and said, circling in the middle of the five tower paintings.

“The area on the 50th floor where the five towers are gathered…”… It’s called unfinished barbell.”

“Does it mean the unfinished Tower of Babel?””

Platinum Lord nodded. The workshop owners looked down at the painting as if they were worried.

The name Babel was dual.

It also means a huge tower that climbs the sky, but eventually, at the end of the myth, the tower collapses and people whose language has changed are scattered.

It was also worrisome that the traits of the tower were cracked as badly as the language.

Ordinary hunters would be more comfortable to deal with, but I didn’t know they would be classified this strongly.

“It’s hard.”

“There’s still something harder left.”

Platinum Lord bounced her finger. Then Yoo Ha-eul rushed and poured chess horses onto the desk.

Platinum Lord began placing chess horses on each tower. After a while, an unbalanced arrangement was completed.

“This is the approximate number of constellations of each tower that the implied person found out.”

The tower with the most chess horses was the ascending tower.

They had over twenty constellations.

C. The fewest were Seoul, the Platinum Tower.

Only four people.

Compared to the second smallest ghost tower, there was a difference of more than six people.

“……it’s so different.””

“The number of constellations does not necessarily mean a power difference.”

Platinum Lord spoke calmly.

“In fact, I know that the strongest tower is the ivory tower. The number of constellations is second largest.”

Despite the encouragement of Platinum Lord, the workshop owners looked ambiguous.

If the number of constellations is small, it would be nice to have good unity or active cooperation, but it was hard to see the constellations of the platinum tower except for big and dead.

The future was unstable because even the death was forced to cooperate because of Platinum Lord’s threats.

“I know what you’re thinking, but we have the sacred things that come to mind.”

“…… That’s true.”

The workshop owners murmured as if they were fortunate.

Geomeuk nodded while thinking of Yu Ha-eul, and Hani nodded while thinking of Baek Ho-min.

And the ten fingers nodded, thinking about themselves.

“The number of constellations will quickly narrow down. However, please pay full attention until then. Would you like to ask me any questions?”

Ten rings raised their hands.

“Who drew this ugly picture?””

“The meeting will be over.” Each workshop owner and hunter return and the circuit workshop owner remains for a while.”

“Youngjoo, Baek Ho-min is back…”…”

Kang ha-jin was embarrassed to see ten rings shedding tears while trying to enter the conference room.

A chair was smashed on the floor of the conference room.

Platinum Lord made eye contact with Kang hajin while rolling the picture spread out on the desk.

Kang hajin posted the report he had forgotten again.

“Back Ho-min is back.””

The corners of her mouth rose languidly.

“You’re good at timing.” I heard that you visited a two-story fortress.”

Platinum Lord always kept her eyes on Baek Ho-min. Wherever I went, Platinum Lord’s errand boy was always observing him.

Both Baek Ho-min handing over the mask to an unidentified hunter and controlling the alley through her were reported to Platinum Lord’s eyes and ears.

“Yes. He said he went into the mirror room.”

Platinum Lord stopped moving for a while and then moved his hands again to tighten the shoelaces of his boots.

Because it’s a mirror room.

Platinum Lord also visited the mirror room. However, for returnees, the existence of a mirror room is of little significance.

No matter what kind of life the returnee lives, he or she goes through a similar process and gets similar results to similar judgments.

Only the difference in progress is slightly different, and Platinum Lord has never produced very meaningful results.

However, Baek Ho-min thought that the results might be different because his memory was not intact.

“And I met my teacher.”

“Really? Did you hear what we talked about?””

“He said he didn’t hear the conversation. However, he said that Baek Ho-min seemed to have been angry.”

“You probably said it was dangerous to go up to the top like this.””

Platinum Lord was already listening to a message from a teacher and an implied person.

The speed of the Seoul Tower’s rise is dangerous now. It was advised to control more, grow hunters, and prepare to face constellations in other towers.

“In fact, even if it is not just another tower, the difficulty of the upper part differs from the lower part. From there, intelligent beings appear in earnest. Parasitic species with real civilization and technology, not just imitating like a five-story system.”

Compared to dealing with them, the lower part was just a practice difficulty.

Kang hajin imagined such parasites and slowly opened his mouth.

“But you don’t intend to flirt here.”

Already, they had the 50th floor just around the corner, and they didn’t intend to flirt anymore.

There is a thing called ‘spirit’.

Hunters who came up to the tower were excited that they had conquered the city’s heyday, although constellation’s water equipment was poor.

Like constellations who conquered the tower in the early days.

“It’s not going up without any measures.”

Platinum Lord said, looking up at the sky with his fingers folded.

“The teacher is looking down on us too much. If you look down from that high place, everything on the ground will look low.”

Kang hajin stared at the lord.

Platinum Lord seemed calm, but she seemed to have a lot of thoughts inside.

Even Kang Hae-jin, who does not want to know much, knew that the current development was too fast and poor than Platinum Lord’s plan.

Much of her plan was omitted and being promoted urgently.

No one disagreed that the basis of the problem was Baek Ho-min.

It is nice to see a talented genius, but if it affects a huge design, it becomes a poor construction.

“Okay. Then I’ll prepare Baek Ho-min to climb.”

Platinum Lord nodded briefly.

Kang hajin went out to find Baek Ho-min.

At some point, another person was following him, walking along the long corridor of Yeongjuseong Fortress, where red crystals bloomed.

As soon as I came close, I couldn’t tell who it was because of the smell of cigarettes and alcohol.

“What did she say?”

“It was what the teacher said.”

“Look. Platinum Lord has no intention of stopping.”

The teacher murmured with a sip of alcohol.

“Platinum Lord is too dogmatic. You should’ve been a lord.”

“As I told you, I don’t want to do that.”

Kang hajin said, staring at the teacher.

“Isn’t failure enough to be an Eternity Church?” Don’t think of dismissing Platinum Lord as a failure. Because she’s a much better person than me or the leader.”

“I just want to see you guys climb to the top of the tower.”

The teacher murmured as he gulped down the drink.

“Don’t die, Kang Hajin. For Platinum Lord.””
