TL: Hanguk
Transport.
Curious about the options of the new variety, Sejun used 8 million Tower Coins for inter-tower transport.
Then,
Paat.
A bright pillar of light fell in front of Sejun, revealing heaps of red and blue mugwort.
And on top of the pile of red and blue mugwort, there was a single white mugwort placed alone in a noble manner.
Is that the dicinal Mugwort?
Sejun picked up the white mugwort to check its options.
[dicinal Mugwort]
This mugwort has grown by absorbing the overflowing life force and magic power of the Green Tower.
It cannot grow anywhere that doesnt overflow with both life force and magic power.
When consud, all stats increase by 20.
When consud, lifespan increases by 3 months. (Only up to a maximum of 1000 years.)
As the dicinal mugwort has strong dicinal effects, it is recomnded to consu only one per day.
It tastes extrely bitter.
Usage restriction: Stamina over 1000, Magic power over 1000
Cultivator: Black Towers Tower Farr, Park Sejun
Shelf life: 150 days
Grade: A
Hehehe. I never thought Id live up to 800 years
It seems like Ophelia must be a really responsible dragon. She even sent these to make sure he could live the 800 years.
Although it was described as extrely bitter, having trained daily with bitter coffee, he wasnt afraid.
Thank you, Ophelia.
Sejun expressed his gratitude to Ophelia, who was going berserk with her breath attacks in the Green Tower, and inspected the red and blue mugwort.
Oh. The red mugwort restores consud life force, and the blue mugwort restores consud magic power? These are like potions!
Was she looking out for him in case he died before completing the 800 years?
Ophelia, I didnt see it before, but youre really kind.
Sejun thought of Ophelia not as a farr but as a responsible and kind Green Dragon and decided to take more care of her in the future.
If Ophelia knew, she would blow her top.
Then should I send more mugwort seeds to improve her farming skills?
As if taking care of her ant giving her more work, Sejun sent a lot of mugwort seeds to Ophelia.
After checking the options of the mugworts,
Chew. Chew.
Sejun picked up the Vibrant Life Mugwort and the Vibrant Magical Mugwort and put them in his mouth and chewed them to replenish his depleted life force and magic power.
A Life Orb could save his life, but it wouldnt fully restore Sejuns overall life force, only about 10%.
Thus, being a safety-first person, Sejun quickly filled up his life force and magic power. He never knew when or where he might face a life-threatening situation.
I was just being cautious earlier, and still I nearly died.
Gulp.
Sejun swallowed the mugwort, recalling the mont he was hit by Krueger.
[You have consud Vibrant Life Mugwort.]
[3% of your consud life force has been restored.]
[You have consud Vibrant Magical Mugwort.]
[1% of your consud magic power has been restored.]
[You have consud a bitter dicine.]
[Talent: A dicine Thats Bitter is Good for Stamina has been activated.]
[Your Stamina increases by 1.]
It was bitter, but the sweetness was stronger, making it bearable to eat. Plus, there was a Stamina boost of 1.
Hehehe.
Sejun chuckled contentedly as he continued to eat the mugwort.
Kueng?
[Dad, does it taste good?]
Hyung, is it tasty?
Kking?!
Hey! Are you eating it all by yourself?
Seeing Sejuns expression, his companions showed interest and ate the mugwort.
And their reactions were divided into two types.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Its bitter, but sweet! Its like kudzu honey!]
Uh-huh. Yeah! Its bittersweet!
Cuengi and Ajax managed the slight bitterness and enjoyed the sweetness.
Kkwek. Kking! Kking!
Ehup. Hey! This is really bitter! It doesnt taste good!
Fenrir could not forgive even a hint of bitterness.
Kking? Kking!
Hey! Why are you eating that? You shouldnt eat that!
When Sejun ate sothing that didnt taste good, Fenrir tried hard to stop his servent, but
Blackie, eat this and stay still.
The roasted sweet potato jerky beca more important than stopping the servent.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
He focused on eating.
After Sejun ate 20 pieces each of the red and blue mugwort,
[You have consud Vibrant Life Mugwort.]
[2.7% of your consud life force has been restored.]
[You have consud Vibrant Magical Mugwort.]
[0.9% of your consud magic power has been restored.]
[You have consud a bitter dicine.]
[Talent: A dicine Thats Bitter is Good for Stamina has been activated.]
[Your Stamina increases by 1.]
The efficacy of the mugwort decreased by 10%. The effect decreased due to continuous consumption of the sa crop.
Although the effect diminished with each intake, Sejun kept eating.
After eating about 30 pieces of mugwort, his mouth completely adapted, and the talent A dicine Thats Bitter is Good for Stamina did not activate. He tried rinsing his mouth with water, but it was useless.
Alright. Its full.
After eating 100 pieces each of the red and blue mugwort, his life force and magic power were fully restored.
The amount recovered by the mugwort was low for magic power, but that was due to his inherently high basic magic power recovery rate.
But this would be hard to eat in a hurry, right?
To fully recover, one would need to eat two fistfuls of mugwort at once
When Sejuns life force and stamina dropped, it was often in urgent monts. There was no ti to leisurely chew on mugwort.
I should try making it into a juice so I can drink it later.
As Sejun thought of more convenient ways to consu mugwort,
Click.
He opened the Golden Box of Abundance, took out the black beans inside, and put in the dicinal mugwort.
Ophelia had harvested the dicinal mugwort before its seeds could develop, leaving no way to obtain seeds.
If he left it in for just one day, four more dicinal mugworts would be produced, so he planned to put it in once every 4 days to secure 4 days worth of dicinal mugwort.
After storing the Golden Box of Abundance and the remaining mugworts in the void storage, Sejun went back to harvesting Korean blackberries with his companions.
[You have harvested Korean blackberries.]
[Your job experience have increased very slightly.]
[Your Proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has increased very slightly.]
[You have gained 1 experience point.]
..
.
While Sejun and his companions were busy harvesting Korean blackberries,
ow ow ow.
Sejun heard Theos humming. Clearly, Theo was still playing around despite him saying to go down for work.
Vice Chairman Theo, its ti to go.
Sejun expressed his discomfort by shaking his leg as he spoke.
However,
Puhuhut. Where are we going, ow?
Theo looked at Sejun with an innocent expression, having forgotten about his own work.
Hey! Its ti to go to work! Or else youll be demoted
Finally, the angry Sejun resorted to drastic asures,
ow! I rembered, ow! Vice Chairman Theo, will do a good job, ow! Ill work really hard, ow!
Frightened by the ntion of demotion, Theo hurriedly gathered his belongings. The threat of demotion was very effective.
Chairman Park, then Ill be off, ow!
Alright. Be careful.
Sejun saw off Theo, who was leaving in a hurry. He should have done it sooner.
With Theo gone, Sejun diligently harvested the Korean blackberries.
Ill make blackberry wine with these. Hehehe.
It would surely be popular among the dragons.
***
50th Floor of the Blue Tower.
Already on the 50th floor.
Zelga, wearing a blue hood, appeared.
Zelga had planted seeds of the Drought-Inducing Waterlon, restoring lands that had been subrged in water, and in just one day, he had descended from the 70th floor to here.
Alright. I need to plant these quickly and move down.
As Zelga was about to plant the Drought-Inducing Waterlon seeds in the sea,
Koogung.
Water erupted, revealing a giant green serpent, the 12th Apostle of Destruction, the serpent that summons tsunamis, Leviathan.
-Kukuku. Be swallowed by the giant tidal wave.
The sea roiled as dozens of tidal waves, each 10 ters high, surged towards Zelga.
Hmph! How dare a water snake attack with water?
Ridiculing Leviathans attack, Zelga took off the hood he was wearing to prevent the moisture from leaving his body.
Splash.
Riding the Currents!
Zelga entered the water and rode the swift currents,
Diverting the Tidal Wave!
He swiftly moved, diverted the approaching tidal waves, and in an instant, he was in front of Leviathan,
Parting the Sea!
Along with the sea, Leviathan too was split in half. Zelga was stronger underwater, as befitting a rman.
After defeating Leviathan and subrging the Drought-Inducing Waterlon seeds,
[You have planted the Drought-Inducing Waterlon seeds.]
[The Drought-Inducing Waterlon seeds absorb water without regard to others.]
..
.
The seeds quickly absorbed the water, and the sea disappeared as he hurriedly harvested the Drought-Inducing Waterlons.
And then,
[You have planted the Water-Absorbing Waterlon seeds.]
..
.
He planted the Water-Absorbing Waterlons.
The sea had disappeared, but with lots of rain still falling from the sky, if left alone, the water would fill up again.
Okay. This should be enough.
Having planted the Water-Absorbing Waterlon seeds all around, Zelga went down to the 49th floor.
***
Dadada.
Theo quickly left to do the work.
For now, I should go to the 79th floor, ow!
He was feeling bored and decided to stop by the Kingdom of Kov and bring along Piyot and he could also check if there was anything to take from the royal palace
As Theo was heading from the 73rd floor to the 79th floor of the tower through the rchants passage,
ow?
He picked up a black orb that had fallen on the ground. Theo picked up Fenrirs core fragnt from the ground as if it were just a pebble. His luck was good today as well.
Puhuhut. Chairman Park will be happy if I give it to him later, ow!
Theo placed Fenrirs core fragnt in his bundle and continued up the tower.
A while later,
Puhuhut. Ive arrived, ow!
Theo arrived in Aebro, the capital of the Kingdom of Kov.
Where is Piyot, ow?
Theo looked around, searching for Piyot.
Piyo! Piyo!
From afar, he heard the loud cry of Piyot.
Puhuhut. Over there, ow!
Theo ran towards the direction of the sound.
***
At the playground of Skyschool, the ssenger bird school.
The ssenger bird Pirururur Yotra has achieved excellent grades
Piyot, who graduated top of his class in ssenger bird training, was receiving an Outstanding Trainee Certificate from the headmaster of the ssenger bird school.
Piyo! Piyo!
[Im Pirururur Yotra, ssenger bird from 55th trainee class! I will beco a great ssenger bird in the future!]
Having received the certificate, Piyot shouted loudly and returned to his seat.
It wouldnt be so bad just being a ssenger bird.
Lately, Piyot had been contemplating his career path a lot.
Whether to stay in the Kingdom of Kov and comfortably work as a ssenger bird or to make painstaking efforts to beco the right front paw of the great black dragons subordinate, the golden cat Theo Park, even though its not guaranteed?
Well Theo~nim probably wouldnt care about soone like anyway
After the graduation ceremony, Piyot left the school gates with other ssenger birds he had trained with.
Then,
Piyot, Im here, ow!
Theo called out to Piyot while waiting at the school gate.
Piyo! Piyo?!
[Theo-nim! Did you co to see my graduation ceremony?!]
Flap flap.
Excited by Theos appearence, Piyot flew around him frantically and asked.
That Yes, ow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, knew today was the graduation of my right front paw, Piyot!
Theo tried his best to tell a lie that he wasnt even good at, as he couldnt lose the trust of his right front paw.
Piyot?!
[Im Theo~nims right front paw?!]
Piyot was surprised by Theos answer. Theo had already considered Piyot his right front paw, but Piyot was the only one unaware of it.
Puhuhut. Yes, ow! Piyot is my right front paw, ow! And once youre my right front paw, youre my right front paw forever, ow! You cant escape, ow!
Theo sternly warned, fearing that Piyot might refuse.
Piyo! Piyo!
[Of course! Since Im Theo-nims right front paw, Ill forever be Theo-nims right front paw!]
Indeed, I should definitely be Theo-nims right front paw! Piyot firmly decided on his career path.
After finishing this conversation, Theo said,
Puhuhut. Piyot. First, lead to the king, ow!
Piyo! Piyo!
[Yes! Follow !]
Piyot took the lead to the royal palace of the Kingdom of Kov.
Theo was planning to look for the land deed for the 80th floor that Sejun wanted, as well as gather a lot of wealth.
Now that I think about it, I didnt see my left front paw this ti, ow
Theo thought about his left front paw, which had been missing for so reason. Although he doesnt know it yet, Theos left front paw was Uren.
