Chapter 250
[ Episode 250. Namgoong Ilyoung]
When I went to find Diene, who was staying in District 2, she sighed with a bitter smile.
“Thank you for the seal. It’s comfortable thanks to you.”
“What happened?”
Diene understood the implications of my words and shook her head.
“No, just. Nothing special. But I must say I’m a little tired.”
There are times when even Diene in the world gets tired of people.
It felt like little things were piled up rather than something that had happened.
“Anyway, I heard the news. You guys were great.”
“There was something I wanted to say to Diene about climbing.”
“What?”
“We are on the 29th floor now. So far, it’s been fine, but I’m starting to realize that it’s going to be difficult with just the two of us.”
“Are you going to join me too?”
“Is it possible?”
At my suggestion, Diane nodded as if she hadn’t thought about it.
“then. I am fine.”
“Fortunately, the. Then start with us right now from the second floor……”
“No, I’ll go up on my own for now. If it’s really hard, then I’ll tell you.”
I wished I could go faster, but I can’t force her.
Still, the goal was achieved because we got positive responses about the party.
“Did Vivian dress up today? Come to think of it, you didn’t climb?”
“huh. I’m out to play.”
Diene’s expression hardened slightly as Vivian smiled shyly and nodded.
“Why are you so cute? Hey Adrias. What have you done to your child?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Our Vivian has become cuter!”
Since when have you been that Vivian?
I went outside for a while, leaving the two fussy women behind.
Still, since Diene’s condition was better than expected, it seemed that she would be able to climb the tower soon.
‘In the meantime, let’s go somewhere else.’
Out of the experience in the game, Garnet was the only one who was helpful among the residents of the tower.
Most of them were competent, but they were not trustworthy, or there were many cases where their skills were not good enough to begin with, but it wasn’t that there were no people to talk to.
“let’s go.”
After talking with Diene, Vivian came out and stood next to me.
okay. For now, going out with Vivien comes first.

“The estimated number of floors to climb is already 29? It is a complete monster.”
A man who heard the report laughed.
There was curiosity and interest in that smile.
“I heard that they are not even with the same faction… can you contact me?”
“I have been reached out a few times, but I have been ignored. And Cryson is desperately blocking it.”
“That Cryson? There is something. As long as the guy who campaigns thinking Ji is the king will be at the convenience of someone.”
Those from the Ceres continent.
And leading them was the exiled prince in the tower.
Prince Lexius, who had shaggy black hair, asked his subordinate while sitting cross-legged.
“So, how did the other guys react?”
“The Quetzal side still expressed their intention not to get involved. It seems that they are a closed group, so if you do not touch them first, they will ignore them.”
“The guy who manages the midfield is too lazy to let go, and Garnett is with him in Rune, right?”
“That’s right. It’s a bit unexpected, but inside Rune, opinions are divided.”
“That garnet is behaving strangely for some reason.”
The prince organized his thoughts and said.
“It’s like a bomb, but so far there’s nothing that could interfere with the power structure. Should I say I’m lucky?”
“In the first place, he seemed not very interested in the circumstances inside the tower.”
“Looking at just climbing all day, that would be the case. Perhaps his goal is to climb to the limit as quickly as possible and then exit the tower.”
Exiting the tower was free at any time.
But once they left, they couldn’t come back in again, so everyone was careful when they left the tower.
It was a feature of the tower that it was not easy to get out if there was room to go up even one floor.
“The only time we need to be on our guard is when their climbing has stopped. If I can’t go up any further, I might turn my attention elsewhere.”
“We will always look carefully. He said he didn’t go climbing today.”
“Even an iron man should take a break from time to time. But just in case, keep an eye on it. It would be a headache on the day if you stick together with other forces.”
In Prince Lexius’s mind, the image of Ilyoung Namgung, whose true intentions were unknown, came to mind.
There was nothing to be wary of about the power of Rodlene itself.
However, it was difficult for the newcomers to join forces with Ilyoung Namgung instead of Rodlenn.
Circumstances in which the power level may change significantly.
‘If so…’
The history of the tower was dotted with blood.
There were five major forces entering the tower, but that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t come from other places.
Such minor powers are eventually attached to one of the five powers and are being operated like slaves.
If the forces were reorganized again here, the five main powers could be reduced to four or three.
In a word, it was impossible to know when the main power would become a minor power and become a slave.
“You can’t relax.”
Lexius’s muttering echoed emptyly.
**
In the end, I couldn’t dispose of the equipment I got during the climb, and I just went to play with Vivian.
There were more places to see than I thought and it took a lot of time, so I decided to take care of the equipment later.
It wasn’t urgent right now, and I thought it wouldn’t be bad to take a break like this sometimes.
“welcome. I will take you this way.”
As soon as the next day came, Vivian and I headed to Hongwolru, which Namgoong Ilyoung had talked about.
It was a bar right next to a huge lake, and it was a tall building built in an oriental style wooden tower structure.
I was somewhat familiar with the memory of my previous life, but I liked seeing Vivian for the first time, looking around and looking at Hongwolru.
“Pretty.”
“I see. It’s next to the lake, so it’s more quaint.”
Diene started climbing the tower today.
It was going to take some time for her to catch up with us, so I wondered if she would have at least four days left.
When we arrived at Hongwolru and entered the entrance, the clerk guided us as if he had received a word in advance.
Inside the bar, there was a simple teleport magic circle that acted like an elevator, and thanks to that, we were able to reach the top floor immediately.
“Bocchan’s guests have arrived.”
“Ha, yes.”
A voice came from inside with a characteristic sigh.
As soon as I went to the direction where the voice was heard, I saw Namgung Il-young sitting on the railing, looking down at the lake and blowing on a bottle.
What picture are you taking? There’s a nasty atmosphere.
“I am regretting it now.”
I asked at the words I heard instead of a sudden greeting.
“Do you have any regrets?”
“okay. I regret why I asked to meet you.”
Did you get sick of laziness in one day?
Namgung Ilyoung blew on the bottle again and let out a sigh.
“Sit there moderately and drink or eat. And if you’re full, go on your own.”
“Confucius.”
I called out to him in a low voice.
“I am not a person who has too much time. I didn’t come here to eat, I came to see the great Namgung family’s sword.”
“Awesome? Namgung Family’s sword?”
He said sneeringly, still not taking his eyes off the lake.
“okay. You could say it’s great. It’s an outdated swordsmanship that has been going on for hundreds of years.”
“Are you being sarcastic?”
“I do not deny that I am the descendant of the Namgung family. But if you ask if our family is great, well. Of course, it would look great to the scumbags. ha.”
That’s why I didn’t want to deal with this person in the first place.
A human being whose laziness has degenerated into indolence, and something seems crooked.
I don’t know if it’s because of his talent or because of his position in the tower, but I couldn’t help but feel tired.
Still, since I’ve come this far, I’ll have to try harder.
“You said let’s check each other’s swords.”
“Is it? I’m sorry if that’s the case. I’m not in the mood for that right now.”
“Won’t you feel that way even if a knife goes into your throat?”
At my subtle provocation, Ilyoung Namgung finally turned her attention to me.
However, his expression was more like mocking me than provocation.
And his words that followed proved that it wasn’t just a feeling.
“You? me? Haa…….”
I felt a deep sense of shame.
In the end, it was Vivian who fell for the provocation first.
“I don’t like it.”
Vivian muttered and approached Ilyoung Namgung.
Just as she was about to do something, she pushed Namgung Ilyoung off the railing.
“……uh?”
No matter how the country was, there was no choice but to panic.
The funny thing is that Namgung Ilyoung didn’t resist and was pushed down as well.
A whole series of events escaped my understanding.
with a splash!
Fortunately, Ilyoung Namgung fell into the lake.
In the first place, if he was a person with that level of skill, he would have been fine even if he wasn’t a lake.
I slowly approached the railing, pulled myself out, and looked down.
Then, I saw Namgung Ilyeong floating on the lake with a languid expression.
“The justification was made.”
Ilyoung Namgung, who was floating around, said.
justification? what justification?
Soon I could see what he was talking about.
“Rodelen forces tried to assassinate Master Namgoong Ilyeong!”
“Melting all troops! Attack Rodlen!”
The cries echoing inside Hongwolru were vividly heard in our ears.
I burst into a dejected laugh at those voices, which seemed to be kindly telling me.
“This weak-willed bastard……”
He pretended to be lazy and pretended to be lazy, but never thought he would hit the back of the head like this.
The funny thing is that no one came to stop us saying that we were being assassinated.
Like the shouts that came right away, it must have been planned in advance.
“How are you feeling?”
Ilyeong Namgung slowly got up from the water and walked on the water.
His question, which seemed to ask for impressions, felt like the whole situation was a play, but my five senses were actually feeling the presence of people running around busily.
“What would you do if we didn’t do anything?”
“Then nothing would have happened. It doesn’t matter what it is, it doesn’t matter what it is.”
“So, are you thinking about this next variable as well?”
“of course.”
He quickly dried his clothes with hot mana and jumped up to where we were in a few steps.
“I was bored. A little change was needed.”
“Then can you see it now?”
“what?”
“It is the sword of the Namgung family.”
“Haa, you’re so nasty too.”
Rodlen forces?
It’s not going to happen right away anyway.
It’s not that I didn’t have a sense of belonging in the first place, so I didn’t care too much, and it’s not that my power was weak, so it wouldn’t happen at once.
And…
“Aren’t you worried that Rodlene is being attacked?”
“It doesn’t matter anyway, as long as Confucius is here.”
“Does that mean that without me, our forces are insignificant?”
“Yes.”
“There are three more elite warriors in our faction besides me.”
Are you talking about Aura Master? I do not know.
Anyway, I was sure Namgung Ilyeong was the strongest, so it didn’t matter anyway.
Seureung-
“Please let me see that proud sword of hundreds of years.”
“ha. It’s annoying. It’s annoying.”
“Did the annoying nobleman do this? Then, without hesitation, I will go in first.”
Galak’sur flashed, baring his teeth.
