Chapter 444: Chapter 441

Episode 441. To the 30th floor (2)

Lucius de Verakis.

Lucius is the heir to a well-established British aristocratic family and is an elite of elites who has been educated as a gifted child since childhood.

He learned swordsmanship, academic culture and etiquette, as well as areas such as horseback riding and the violin, and took it for granted that he always ranked first in unknown fields.

The life of a genius who was even boring.

A thunderbolt-like stimulus came to him…

That is, the Tower of Trials appeared in reality.

to save mankind. Players risking their lives to climb the tower!

How can a challenge not burn?

Lucius immediately jumped into the tower.

I met countless monsters and residents and became stronger and stronger beyond life and death.

But… the initial stimulation is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, a feeling of helplessness set in.

Love calls from various guilds. He even coveted the powerful forces and gods inside the tower, but that was all.

compliments and expectations. And a life of winning the result as if it were natural.

Boredom and boredom stuck to my brain as always.

however.

pounding!

To him who has always lived only for the pride of his family and his own honor…

Exciting!

He was not interested in anything other than that.

The moment my heart started beating for the first time came.

The goddess seen in the video.

It was obviously a hell-like situation stained with blood and dust…

but in the middle of it, Elise, shining aloftly, was so beautiful.

“Lady.”

Lucius looked at Ellis deeply.

Although he had never paid attention to a woman in his life, he felt like he could give everything to this woman.

Not only life, but even soul.

“Heh! Have you seen it? Contractor. The burden is this much.”

Alice coughed out an ‘ahem’ at Jinhyeok.

If it had wings, it might have flown into the sky.

“Haa…”

Jinhyeok grabbed his throbbing head.

Anyway, there are many, many crazy people in the world.

Seeing how he likes this kind of careless little bat.

“Gee, don’t be mean to our members and go on your way. This friend signed a lifetime contract.”

“Life… a contract?”

Lucius’s eyebrows curled in reverse.

Sreung!

The sword at the waist gave off a sword light.

“As expected…the rumors were true.”

“Rumors? What rumors?”

“Rumors of good people being forcibly enslaved.”

“Haa. Do you believe such nonsense? How well did I manage my image in general…”

“It’s a cafe where victims gather… Now, look.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lucius took out the transparent crystal from his chest.

bad mother.

It is a gathering of victims who have been victimized by the devil.

There was a video of an interview with a lot of mosaic treatment left there.

“Master… No, if it weren’t for that demon, the spirit world… No, I would have been relaxing in the corner of the room drinking a drink.”

“Mooogi!”

“Captain, I told you not to call it a mosquito. You’re caught.”

“Mo, Mosquito!”

“Is this a good mosaic?”

“Be quiet. My head hurts.”

“Dalgrak. I’m going to stop interviewing. Turn it off. If you don’t erase all of this, the undead army will come in front of your house, so be careful.”

The video is over.

“Look. How you behaved. It’s all recorded.”

Lucius vented his rage.

“Bonamana Lady, too, must be forced to be with you. I’ll save you even now. Come on, come this way.”

“Oh my God. What should I do?”

Elise smirked and pretended to be weak.

It’s getting more and more crowded.

“Yooseong-ah….”

“It’s hard to help because every word fits. Find out the other side.”

“Te, Mr. Teresa?”

“Hehe. It’s good that I don’t have any competitors? No, this was said by a different personality. It’s not me!”

There is no one to trust.

I can’t help it.

If you don’t deal with this idiot, the theme choice and everything else will be gone.

chuck!

Jinhyeok took out ‘Hongryeon’ from the subspace.

The sharp dagger drew a semicircle.

“Come on. In accordance with chivalry, yield three moves to the scoundrel…”

“Let’s do that.”

Jinhyeok’s body disappeared.

Quaang!

staggering

Lucius’s body slowly collapsed on its side.

The moment he was struck in the back of the head with the back of the dagger, his consciousness was blown away.

I would have passed out for at least an hour, so with this, the troublesome work was roughly finished.

“It’s a pity. He was a person who had a cute taste…” ”

Why? Does it feel good to have a kid who squeamishly likes you?”

“Huh. Contractor, are you jealous?”

“What is jealousy…”

“Hehe. You’re doing it right. Right? Huh? Where, answer this sister.”

Ellis walked closely behind Jinhyeok and peeped insistently.

The theme of the 30th floor is determined by a betting method.

The player or faction that bets the largest amount is given the right to choose the theme first.

‘A maximum of two players… On the other hand, there is no limit on the number of residents.’

However, as the number of residents increases, the difficulty increases as the number of residents increases.

There were many other variables, but the most important was which theme to choose.

[‘Vatican’ made a bid for the theme ‘100 Year War’.]

[Difficulty: 4 stars]

[The bet amount is 500,000 coins.]

As expected…

I knew they would come out like that.

I have already heard the theme, the first bet amount, and the maximum bet amount through Kenneth.

“Miss Teresa.”

“Yes. I know.”

Theresa nodded.

The 100 Years’ War is a theme that Teresa cannot give up.

That is why I had to participate in this tender.

[‘Teresa’ raises to 1 million coins.]

A bidding war has begun.

“Tsk….”

There was a clicking sound from the Vatican.

However, as if he had expected it, he immediately started throwing coins back.

[From ‘Vatican’ to 2 million coins…]

‘It’s capital power, isn’t it?’

Jinhyeok smiled.

I had no intention of winning with coins from the start.

The goal was not to win the auction, but to scratch the inside of the opponent.

and. In fact, when the betting amount soared to 9 million coins, the Vatican could not stand it and responded.

“You can see… Stop playing around and say what you want.”

A woman with bobbed red hair approached Jinhyeok and Teresa.

The black suit and white gloves showed a distinctive mark mixed with a rune word and a cross.

This woman is also one of the apostles chosen by ‘Eden’.

“It’s a trick. What do you mean by that?”

Jinhyeok put on an innocent expression.

Brilliant eyes twinkled.

“Aren’t you doing this to waste our resources, knowing we won’t win anyway? Rather, tell us the amount you want. So we can go our separate ways comfortably.”

“Uh huh. What do you think of us who are seriously engaged in the auction…”

“20 million coins. Would this be enough?”

“It’s a coin that’s too big to refuse…”

Originally, I was expecting about 10 million coins, but it seems that the opponent was quite annoyed.

If you look at that amount of coins poured in.

but.

“But, just one coin is not enough, so please add one more thing.”

“You’re overly greedy. Or, do you just see us as generous hunks?”

“Considering the rewards that can be obtained in the 100 Year War, coins alone are too cheap. Besides, this offer will be conditional on Teresa-san helping them.”

“…!?”

The woman’s mood changed 180 degrees.

In the 100 Year War, the existence of a saint is more important than any other variable.

Because of this, he did everything possible to secure Teresa.

But you’re going to offer something you half gave up on first?

“How are you interested?”

“First, let’s hear what you want.”

“It’s nothing big… I need one of the books in the basement of the Vatican.”

Of course, as the Tower of Trials appeared in Europe, there were replicas that became holy relics.

Among them, the secret library of the Vatican, where various forbidden and ancient

books from the Middle Ages are kept.

It’s not just a level of useful information written down.

A clue to accessing one of the Tower’s darkest secrets.

‘Necronomicon’.

Originally, you would have to go directly to Eden to get the first clue. Books in the Vatican had a similar effect.

Of course, the Vatican, ignorant of all this, will think this deal is in their favor.

A book outside the tower.

It was because he wanted to change the holy relic in the tower.

The worry didn’t last long.

The red-haired woman stretched out her hand.

“Not a bad suggestion. Ah, my name is Soshana.”

with different thoughts.

“Haha. I am also a person who has been listed by the Fair Trade Commission. I am Kang Jin-hyeok.”

The two hands overlapped into one.

* * *

Things went pretty smoothly after that.

Teresa was granted temporary immunity from Vatican hearings as a condition of participating in the Hundred Years’ War.

‘It’ll only be for a moment. It’s Teresa’s side who gets the reward at the end.’

Bears do tricks and the Vatican eats the rewards?

I wouldn’t do such a stupid deal.

We have already discussed how to build up the build-up.

The problem is that I have to retrieve the book from the Vatican before they realize that they got hit in the back of the head

.

Kenneth will guide you and even confirm the authenticity of the book, so there will be no room for mischief.

Jinhyuk’s gaze turned forward again.

[Battle of Waters]

Difficulty: 3 Stars

[Curse of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]

Difficulty: 2 Stars

[Growing the Orc Village into a Kingdom]

Difficulty: 5 Stars

Several themes came out. Many guilds selected themes they were confident in one by one through bidding.

All the themes that at first glance seemed absurd were sold out.

It’s a natural story.

This is because the difficulty of the attack completely changed depending on which residents you were in contact with.

It was then.

Tring!

[The 19th theme is ready.]

The long-awaited turn has come.

The status window flashed rapidly.

[Produce 101. Choose a ‘real’ horse.]

[Difficulty: 8 stars]

Among all the themes, if I were to choose the most difficult one…

…one of the first themes would be this one.

It was one of the few 8-star themes, along with themes that reproduced the final scene of ‘War of the Worlds’ or Revelation, featuring alien races.

‘By the way, it’s Produce 101…’

Originally, the name of the theme keeps changing to reflect the latest trend, but I didn’t expect it to come out with this name.

‘Infant solitude’.

When I climbed the tower in the past, it was definitely this name.

‘Well, there are a lot of weird copying conditions, so it’s not strange to have a name like this.’

I have already experienced countless times that the taste of the system is perverted.

“Fifty thousand coins.”

No one will mess with this even if you pay the minimum bid.

however.

“One million!”

A sonorous voice echoed among the players.
