Solo Farming In The Tower

“I was wrong…”

When his confident deduction turned out to be incorrect, Sejun became dejected.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, it’s okay, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will keep it a secret, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Me too.”

Kueng! Kueng!

[Dad, cheer up! Cuengi will also keep it a secret!]

(Pip-pip! I’ll keep it a secret too! Cheer up, Sejun-nim!)

The companions consoled Sejun.

Kihihit. Kking… Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! If you give me some roasted and dried sweet potatoes… No! Great Blackie will keep it a secret unconditionally!]

Blackie, who had tried to ask for roasted and dried sweet potatoes in exchange for secrecy, quickly changed his words when Cuengi sneakily took out the Thunderbolt staff.

“Guys, thank you.”

Sejun expressed his gratitude to the group and stared intently at Morgan.

What about you?

“…I will also keep it a secret.”

Although Morgan didn’t understand the situation, he felt swept up by the atmosphere and promised to keep the secret.

And so, Sejun had promises of secrecy from everyone.

“Ahem. Then, shall we start the deduction? ‘If you enter the place where the brightest tear falls, you can find the treasure’…”

As if nothing had happened, he began to solve the riddle again.

“First, I don’t think it’s a star, meow!”

“Yeah. I thought the same.”

They eliminated stars from the options since someone from a parallel universe had tried and failed with that choice.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Maybe it refers to where a meteor fell?”

Iona, befitting a meteor maniac, first thought of meteors.

Kueng!

[It might be the place where the light refracted by tear-shaped ice is pointing to!]

Remembering the beautiful sight he saw when obtaining the baby extreme ice herb, Cuengi also offered his opinion.

(Pip-pip! It might be a jewel!)

Paespaes shared his thoughts as well.

And then,

Kihihit. Kking?! Kking!

[Hehe! Butler! What if it really means crying?! Like shining tears coming from the eyes while crying!]

Great Blackie’s deduction is correct! Because great Blackie is actually Detective Kapang!

Blackie barked confidently with a smug expression.

Seeing Blackie like that, Sejun grew annoyed. Because he was asserting such an absurd idea so confidently.

“Blackie, want to go on a diet until you cry?”

Kking…

[No…]

Just then, as Blackie whimpered at Sejun’s words,

“Um… I think the ‘brightest tear’ might be referring to the Tears Waterfall.”

Morgan, who had been listening quietly, cautiously spoke up.

“Tears Waterfall?”

“Yes. If you ride from here to the east for about ten days, there’s a huge waterfall. It’s called the Tear Waterfall because the shape of the falling water resembles tears. I also heard it shines brightly during the day under sunlight.”

“Oh. Really?! Hmm. Actually, I was thinking about a waterfall too… Let’s head there first.”

To maintain his dignity as Detective Sherlock Sejun, he subtly piggybacked on Morgan’s suggestion and stood up.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Morgan-nim, why aren’t you getting up, meow?!”

Theo stared intently at Morgan, who remained seated, and asked.

“Huh?”

“You said you’d guide us, meow! Hurry and guide us, meow!”

Wait. That was for local guidance… The Tears Lake is ten days away from here…

Morgan felt a little wronged, but

“Yes. Please follow me.”

He agreed in the end. A daily life where he couldn’t do much. Somehow, he felt like something fun might happen if he followed them.

“Which way is it, meow?!”

“Direction? That way.”

In response to Theo’s question, Morgan pointed east.

“Puhuhut. Cuengi, it’s that way, meow!”

Kueng!

[Got it!]

Moments later.

SWOOSH!

Cuengi, carrying the group, quickly flew eastward and reached in ten minutes what would have taken ten days on horseback.

Swoooosh.

“It really is teardrop-shaped.”

Sejun spoke as he looked at the massive waterfall falling in the shape of tears.

“Then the brightest tear is…”

Sejun closely examined the waterfall, looking for a unique feature.

“Huh?! Is that it?”

Sejun’s eyes spotted a place where the refracted lights of the waterfall’s water converged and the brightest light was shining.

And then,

“Found it! Cuengi, over there.”

He headed toward a cave that looked like some kind of entrance.

Kueng!

[Got it!]

Thus, Sejun and his companions arrived in front of the cave.

“This is it.”

Sejun was convinced upon seeing the artificially made stairs. This was definitely the entrance leading to the treasure.

“Let’s go.”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

As Sejun and his companions descended the stairs and continued for a while, the stairs began to incline upward again, and then they went uphill for a long time.

Then came another downhill, followed by more uphill. It went on and on.

“What is this? It’s just going in circles.”

How long do we have to keep going?

As Sejun grumbled,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I feel a pull, meow!”

Theo pointed in one direction, and

Kueng!

[Cuengi will make a path!]

Boom!

Cuengi broke the wall in the direction Theo had pointed and began digging a tunnel.

In truth, the god who hid the treasure had given Toryong a path that was more of a trap than a shortcut.

However, thanks to the combo play of Theo and Cuengi, they managed to skip a route that would’ve taken hundreds of kilometers.

After following the tunnel Cuengi created for about 30 minutes,

“Oh!”

Sejun discovered a warehouse piled with an enormous amount of treasure. It looked like it amounted to about 50 quadrillion Tower Coins.

“Hehehe. Guys, gather it up!”

Sejun and his companions eagerly packed the treasures into the Void Storage, and even Morgan, caught up in the moment, helped carry the treasure.

17 hours later.

“Huh? The sun’s still up? Ah. Has a day passed?”

As he exited the cave, Sejun looked at the rising sun and spoke. The treasure volume was so vast that they had worked all night to move it all.

“Morgan-nim, thank you for your help. This is something we got here, I think it’ll be helpful for you.”

Sejun handed Morgan a reward for helping through the night and left for where the dimensional gate was.

Morgan, who had worked all night, received merely a gold ring as compensation.

But then.

“This is?!”

To Morgan, it was not just a simple gold ring.

The gold ring had a sculpted image of a double-headed eagle with its wings spread wide on the top, allowing it to be used as a seal. And a double-headed eagle was not a symbol that could be used just anywhere.

Why is the imperial seal of the Ulton Empire here?!

Because it was the symbol of the Emperor. The ring Sejun had given Morgan was the lost imperial seal of Morgan’s distant ancestor.

In fact, Morgan’s full name was Morgan Devana Ulton.

The youngest of the seven royal siblings of the Ulton Empire, born too late, he lost his mother and followers in the power struggles against already-established older siblings and was forcibly exiled.

He lived each day in suffering, acutely feeling the helplessness of his inability to seek revenge…

“Could it be the will of the gods telling me to avenge my mother and followers…?”

Clutching the emperor’s seal ring in his hand, Morgan fell into deep contemplation.

Several hours later.

Morgan did not head west where his home was, but east, toward the capital of the Empire.

The Emperor’s seal ring of the Ulton Empire, appearing after a thousand years.

Its value was immense, and a great storm began to stir in <Kpies>.

***

“Arrived.”

Sejun and his companions returned to the Black Tower after passing through the dimensional gate.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, but why did you give Morgan-nim that ring earlier, meow?!”

Theo asked Sejun.

“Ah. That… there was some kind of connection between the ring and Morgan-nim.”

“Meow?!”

“Well…”

Sejun began explaining the earlier situation to Theo.

Sejun couldn’t just let Morgan, who had helped so much, go empty-handed.

One box should be enough, right? No, since he also kept the secret, should it be two boxes?

He was deliberating how much treasure to give Morgan.

At that moment, a gold ring caught Sejun’s eye.

[<Title: One Who Glimpsed Long Into the Beginning> has identified the true essence of the ring.]

His title activated, revealing the ring’s option.

[Ulton Empire Emperor’s Seal Ring]

→ This ring was forged by melting the blood and gold of a Gold Dragon, which the founding emperor of the Ulton Empire, Zakan Devana Ulton, obtained after battling the dragon during his travels in another world.

→ The founding emperor, Zakan Devana Ulton, designated it as the imperial seal of the Ulton Empire.

→ Any document stamped with this seal ring carries the same authority as an imperial edict from the emperor of the Ulton Empire.

→ Usage Restriction: A person of Ulton imperial bloodline, or one acknowledged by the Ulton Empire’s imperial seal ring.

→ Grade: ★

→ Skills: <Lightning Breath (Master)>, <Electric Shock Resistance (Master)>, <Nerve Acceleration (Master)>, <Shield Lv. 7>, <Cure Lv. 5>…

How many embedded skills are there?

There weren’t many extraordinary skills, but the number exceeded twenty.

As Sejun looked at the ring’s options in astonishment,

[<Title: One Who Glimpsed Long Into the Beginning> has found the rightful owner connected to [Ulton Empire Emperor’s Seal Ring].]

The title activated once again, and Sejun could see a golden thread connecting the ring to Morgan.

“That’s why I gave it to Morgan-nim.”

“Puhuhut. As expected of great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! You can even identify the true owner of an item, meow!”

“Hahaha. That much is nothing.”

Sejun lifted the corners of his mouth proudly at Theo’s praise.

Ah. Control your expression.

He quickly loosened the smug look forming on his face.

“Meow? But why didn’t you give him the treasure from the box, meow?”

“Him being the owner of the emperor’s seal ring means what? It means Morgan is royalty. A golden spoon. So I don’t have to give him anything.”

Sejun’s inner grudge against golden spoons as a dirt spoon also played a part, but he didn’t say that aloud. He’d look petty.

“Morgan-nim is a golden spoon, meow?! As expected, the deduction ability of the great hybrid Chairman Park is amazing, meow!”

“Huhuhuh. Because I’m the famous detective Sherlock Sejun.”

Unable to resist the praise, Sejun couldn’t help but feel smug.

“Meow! The rotten energy is rising from Chairman Park’s face, meow! Step on it, meow!”

“Kyoot!”

Kueng!

Kking!

And so, Sejun’s face was stepped on by his companions once again.

While Sejun was becoming humble from getting his face stepped on,

-Why hasn’t he appeared?!!!

Corruption, who had been waiting all night for Sejun, was furious.

And as night fell again, Sejun and the Theo couple, along with the Blackie Family, gathered in Blackie’s mental world.

“Oh. Now you’re not ultra-mini anymore but just mini now.”

Pretending to be surprised at the now fist-sized Mini Chairman Park No. 4,

Wiggle. Wiggle.

Mini Chairman Park No. 4 happily danced with shoulder twitches, and again held out his head to Sejun, asking for a pat.

Pat. Pat.

Sejun patted Mini Chairman Park No. 4’s head and said,

“Guys, eat this candied sweet potato and forgive Blackie and the others a bit.”

He began to soothe the souls.

At that moment.

Grrr…

Corruption hurriedly revealed himself.

-Why are you so late?! And why didn’t you come last night?!

As soon as it appeared, it began confronting Sejun. With the cute expression it had practiced hard.

“I had things to do yesterday. Hehehe. But you waited for me last night? You rascal. How cute.”

Sejun started teasing Corruption.

-What?! No…no! I didn’t wait! Why would I wait for you?!

Corruption raised his voice in embarrassment.

But.

“If you didn’t, then you didn’t. Why are you getting mad?”

-No. I’m not mad…

When Sejun replied with a hurt expression, Corruption’s voice quickly softened.

Then.

“Oh, right. By the way, why haven’t you been sending ogres and planet-destroyer turtles lately? I need to do quests. Can’t you send them again?”

Sejun asked Corruption to resume sending ogres and the planet-destroyer turtle.

But.

-Hmph! Why should I?

Corruption coldly rejected Sejun’s request.

And then.

-Kukukuk. I am not one who grants requests but Corruption, the one who brings despair.

He threatened Sejun and his companions in a sinister and ominous voice.

“Vice Chairman Theo!”

“Got it, meow!”

At Sejun’s call, Theo clung to the back of Sejun’s head and placed his front paws on Sejun’s temples.

Flash.

By burning money, he transferred power to Sejun.

Fwoosh.

-Kukukuk…

Corruption, struck by the Seo Beam, faded away with a faint smile.

Good. That was natural.

Because he hadn’t been caught when he almost replied with “Yeah” to Sejun’s request and hurriedly changed it to “Hmph” instead.

A short while later.

Crack.

The Black Moon began to open.

And then.

“Kukukuk. Go! Go and destroy the world!”

From the Black Moon, ogres and planet-destroyer turtles emerged.

“Well. It’s not my fault that what I wanted and the request happened to align.”

Corruption spoke as if it couldn’t be helped. But the corners of his lips had subtly curled upward.
