Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 183 Crossing the Lake:

Mobilidic and Chihirin.

To sum up what the two NPCs are saying…

“You mean you have to cross that lake to enter the safe zone?”

“yes!”

Of course, it’s not difficult to cross a lake if you can use all of your body’s power, so we put restrictions on you systematically.

For the two beer bottles, it was like a boundary that was virtually impossible to cross.

“Is there any reason to go to the safe zone?”

[Mobilidic tells us that the safe zone is also a safe place for NPCs.]

“Not all NPCs are the same. It doesn’t matter if they’re strong, but kids like us have to struggle to stay sane.”

I felt it too while climbing the tower.

There are NPCs on each floor, but most of them are staying in a safe zone.

I never questioned it because I thought it was natural.

Each NPC has a given role and maintains its self by having a meaning of existence.

Alios told me about it, so I know that part well.

There was a way to endure ignorance, but because the limits were clear, didn’t Alios also work as a jeweler?

At least the NPCs in the safe zone got better.

Bella’s business wasn’t going well at one time, but she had no problems getting along.

On the other hand, the NPCs on each floor?

‘Even Gale was exploited and lived.’

While being beaten by the former slave warden, Meglet.

The exiled Druid Priest Fengrill was treated as a boss mob.

Well, the rulers of the 19th floor and the rulers of the 29th floor seemed to remain on the floor of their own will…

but after all, they have the ability to do so, so they can choose.

These guys don’t have a choice.

“Oh, damn the world. The world is crooked.”

Chihirin, sullen, wiggled her fingers.

I wonder if that’s what the fairy would say, but it must be that there are a lot of things accumulated.

Although they are certainly restricted, they do not show any sense of intimidation or the appearance of a strong person that is difficult to compare.

If you stick to it, you will be beaten one-sidedly.

Aside from that, the two guys lack confidence.

It looks like it’s moving.

“What floor did you guys go up to?”

“Early 80th floor.”

Mobilidic nodded.

It’s on the 80th floor.

The demons I met at the workhouse were similar.

Isn’t that great enough?

Even if it’s not the 90th floor, it means you’ve reached the upper floor.

By our standards, it’s an unimaginable position.

I’m admiring it because it looks different all over again.

“It’s unfair! Those who are strong from the beginning climb up even after entering the tower. In the eyes of those guys, you won’t even see the kids wriggling upstairs like us!”

Chihirin suddenly jumped up.

He bursts into anger and struggles with his limbs.

It was funny on the outside, but I didn’t mean to make fun of it when I saw the wrathful expression on my face.

The guy who couldn’t win the mill because his tears were full of tears.

[Mobilidic says that the four spirits are ranked at the same time as they are born.]

[Sings resentment over the limit they

were born with.] [Highest class. .]

Mobilidik also puts its head on the ground and shakes itself.

The four spirits must mean the spirits of fire, water, wind and earth.

Come to think of it, the snow spirits didn’t have a specific rank.

It seems that not all spirits are the same.

“Hmm.”

Both of them had an uncanny resemblance.

I understand.

Having a different start intimidates people.

It’s not like there’s a difference in racial values like these guys, but aren’t we similar?

Some have strong bodies and some have extraordinary brains.

There are areas that can be covered with individual efforts, and there are areas that are impossible.

Depending on whether they belonged to a large guild or not, they were divided.

Most people are normal.

In fact, even when many people enter the tower, there are many cases where they lose their motivation saying, “I can’t do it. It’s a wall that ordinary people like me can’t overcome.”

“The Fairy King broke through the 60th floor in just one month. Although it ended with going up to the 97th floor.”

[It is said that Mobilidik and the Spirit King were similar.]

Those who climbed the tower faster than anyone else because they were already strong enough.

Maybe Kildereth was similar?

He dominated the 7th Demon Realm before being summoned to the Tower.

I wonder if that’s all, I won the Great War of the Heavenly Demon.

Maybe it’s a guess.

Apart from his personal strength, he may have a cautious personality.

on the other side.

‘Alios took 19 years and did it.’

Despite driving the empire into a corner alone, Alios took nearly 20 years to climb to the 99th floor.

Come to think of it, Alios never thought of himself as strong.

You said you were wary of Rilka and that you moved as carefully as possible as coins were limited.

Maybe that’s why he climbed to the 99th floor.

It’s a trap that the world has already entered destruction after coming out of the tower.

how about me

humble background.

It’s the same as rolling from the bottom.

‘I’ve become so strong that I can’t compare to other people now.’

If there’s one thing you can rub against, at least the members?

right.

i am weak

So I had no choice but to roll, and I had no choice but to cover the parts I didn’t know with my body.

If he didn’t get the chance and get the hidden piece, he would have been kicked out of the tower long ago.

The top is where you don’t know what will happen.

Don’t be complacent.

Just because I’ve been lucky so far, there is no guarantee that I will continue to do so in the future, and the opportunity to challenge is infinite.

A little silence flows.

“Actually, I might be able to live a good life just by going to the safe zone. There will be territorial attitudes, and there will be plenty of great guys that it’s hard for kids like us to even look at them.”

[Mobilidic is depressed.]

A situation where they themselves are not sure.

perhaps.

Maybe that’s why the real guys were drowning.

I want to go to a safe zone for a better life than before, but when I go, I wonder if I’m afraid of not knowing what will happen to me.

As if to support my thoughts, options came to my mind.

[Choose.]

[Take the rescued object to the lake.]

[Leave the rescued object and go upstairs.]

Throw it away or take it.

Just look at it.

I said to go to the lake, but there is no word to cross the lake.

“Haven’t you guys ever crossed a lake?”

“If you crossed it, you would have left this place a long time ago!”

“Have you ever seen the end of the lake?”

[It is said that Mobilidic has seen it from a distance.]

“It was quite close enough to be seen, but why didn’t you go further?”

“That’s right, the climber who was helping us gave up and climbed up…”

Chihirin blurted out the ending.

I narrowed my eyes.

A lie mixed with the truth.

Somehow I felt that way.

If crossing the lake really was impossible, why can’t these guys ask for help every time people come.

“Ah anyway! We will go to the safe zone.”

Chihirin waved her hand, as if my gaze was burdensome.

[Chihirin and Mobilidic give a joint quest.]

[Crossing the Lake – Normal Quest]

– For the first time, Chihirin and Mobilidic were rescued together.

– Cross the lake and reach the well.

-Reward: Repay the kindness of two NPCs by increasing their affinity.

-If you fail, you will receive the blessing of two spirits.

I knew it.

Even the content of the quest is strange.

It rewards you whether you succeed or fail.

If you look at it calmly, it’s better to fail and receive a blessing than to increase your affinity with an NPC you can only see once.

There was one more tricky part here…

‘The part where the two NPCs were rescued for the first time.’

Rescue has limitations.

That only one being can be saved.

Until now, I would have left someone alone and crossed the lake alone.

I get a rough sense of it.

“let’s go.”

“The ark.”

I got up from my seat.

Mobilidik is half-buried on the ground, blinking, and Chihirin is flapping her wings, slapping him on the back.

“Hey, you’re going. I should at least meet you, this big guy. It’s dirt or digging and eating. Won’t you move soon? We have to give you the compensation we promised earlier.”

[Mobilidic babbles that he knows.]

[He says he just wants to enjoy this moment a little longer.]

Strictly. Mobilidik wags its tail and splashes dirt, and Chihirin screams and runs away.

play well play well

by the way.

“Didn’t I say I was going up without you?”

When you go, you have to do what you have to do even if you go.

I have something to take care of.

“Accept the quest. Get ready because you’re going to cross the lake.”

“Really?”

“uh. I will definitely take you both.”

[Mobilidic has a strange feeling of anticipation.]

Expect it. Because I really intend to do it.

“You don’t want to leave it in the middle, do you? I can really go this time… They even saved me a dirt pig.”

[Mobilidic says it’s not a pig, it’s a whale.]

[Ask if you can really do it.]

As if you were secretly concerned, Chihirin flies by your head and chatters.

oh im crazy Should I just hit one night?

Even if it’s just one fairy.

-Chwaaaaaa

Mobilidik can’t hide its excitement and swims around me.

From time to time jumping up and doing somersaults.

“ah! Crazy! Stay still.”

I screamed and glared at the two.

stuttering guys.

“I’m really taking it. promise at all? The things you guys agreed to give me when you get to the other side of the lake, okay?”

I’d believe this

I crossed my arms and looked at them both.

“Aww! Let’s go dirt pig!”

[Mobilidik gives a long howl.]

I could see them hugging each other and crying.

I’m sure now

The quest they set out to do.

The condition to clear it is to bring both of them.

the problem is.

‘It’s about how to take these guys.’

In order to find a way, we first need to know what the system constraints are for both of them.

* * *

Two days after entering the 45th floor.

I prepared for the 8th challenge.

The restrictions placed on the two NPCs were quite strong.

Only when threatened by a climber are some restrictions lifted.

In other words, it can be seen that there is no special ability normally.

It’s a mobile dick. It’s impossible to cross the lake on your own when the ability is sealed.

Although Chihirin can fly.

“Did you say it only lasted 10 minutes?”

“huh. Besides, halfway through the lake, there is a storm.”

The lake was bottomless and there was a storm.

Luckily, I got to the middle and Chihirin flew away and I came back to the beginning.

From now on, I plan to put Chihirin in my bag.

My head hurts, but my desire for a proper environment at the tower is more greedy.

I took a deep breath and looked at the lake.

I thought it would be nice to turn around instead of crossing it, but it was systematically blocked, so the only way to get to the destination is to go through the lake.

The problem is Mobilidic.

At least Chihirin is light, but this one is too heavy.

It’s impossible to fly into Fire Bomb with him.

I tried to cross it using Ice Break like when I saved the first two, but it failed due to lack of magic power.

I’ve tried trapping the Mobilidic with something like a net and dragging it under water.

“I really wanted to die.”

In fact, the body was also scattered little by little.

It seems that it becomes difficult to maintain the body after going beyond a certain area.

I couldn’t use this method either because it returned to its original position with a danger signal when about 1/8 of its body was scattered.

In the end, you either have to build a big boat or you have to lighten it up.

I thought about breaking it into small pieces and moving them one by one, but he said that was impossible.

“Should I even build a boat?”

I looked behind me.

Trees growing in a fairly wide field.

As a result of examining it with authority, they are things that can be floated on water.

It is possible to make a crude ship by cutting down trees and purchasing materials from the shop window.

One problem.

storm.

Can a ship built by me without proper knowledge withstand the storm?

i don’t think i can

Difficulty level is high.

But don’t worry.

“If you do something, there will always be a way.”

I decided to use the ignorant method.

To do that.

“Mobilidik, you should use some strength.”

[Mobilidic tilts its head.]

This guy’s strength was absolutely necessary.
