CH 186

Shadow party (3)

“This area is the ‘base’ that is a fortress on the 50th floor.”

Then Platinum Lord walked out of the basement of the abandoned building and said.

As soon as Platinum Lord appeared, Kang hajin quickly looked around.

Only hunters plowing and paving the surrounding land and roads showed no signs of abnormality.

However, as soon as she stepped here, Kang ha-jin, who had a good initiation ceremony, could not let his guard down.

“Youngju. I think you’d better wait inside.”

“You don’t have to worry. Kang hajin. Once I’ve stepped on the base, my view has changed a lot from usual.”

Kang hajin saw that Platinum Lord’s eyes expanded significantly, unlike usual.

The focus was not focused as if looking in the air. Nevertheless, she seemed to have no abnormality in moving.

“The base grows in line with the invested gold, and its functions expand. Five such bases gather to form this floor.”

“Are they ghost towers, ivory towers, shade towers, ascension towers, and platinum towers?”

“Okay.”

Platinum Lord smiled and tapped the abandoned building.

“This ruins-like place was built during the Youngwon Church. Looking at it, all the people who lived were kicked out or killed, and the rest were looted. The hunters of other towers are no different from the parasitic species.”

Baek Ho-min looked around with an expression of surprise.

I thought they were similar to the buildings I saw in Hoshijul, but they were also built during the Youngwon Church.

However, as Platinum Lord said, it was like ruins now.

“But this small building is a symbol of victory that we have walked so far.”

“It doesn’t look good.”

Baek Ho-min nodded and muttered. Kang ha-jin made a dizzying look at the words.

“Baek Ho-min, please cover your mouth…”…”

“But it’s cute.””

“That’s right. It’s cute.”

“It’s our small, cute, and compact victory.””

Platinum Lord took out a platinum coin and bounced it into the air.

Platinum flowers glistened and disappeared as if permeating the air.

At the same time, a roar rang out. Old abandoned buildings, which were being used as bases, suddenly began to transform like taking off their skins.

“This is…”

“I applied for an extension of the period of use.”

All the abandoned buildings in the area have taken off their old days and turned into new buildings.

Hunters who were trimming the road also looked at the buildings with surprised faces.

Now, the ruins-like area was getting clean enough for people to enter and live at any time.

“This will be our foundation in the future.”

Platinum Lord began to take steps. Kang hajin followed Platinum Lord with a nervous look.

Even though she knew that constellations were aiming to succeed Platinum Lord, she was openly walking down the street at what the hell was thinking.

“There’s a lot of work to be done.”

Platinum Lord said as he strode.

“What do you mean?””

“First of all, we have to get our share back from those who stole ours.”

“Our share?””

When Kang Hae-jin asked, Platinum Lord looked up and looked at the skyscrapers extending in the center of the city.

“At one time, a huge amount of gold and goods were stored here. However, after the death of the leader, many wealth was looted by other towers as it was cut off from the 50th floor.”

“Oh… Then the gold.”

“I should get the gold back.”

Kang hajin looked at Platinum Lord with a disheartened look.

It is questionable whether constellation like Grave Keeper will be able to handle it with the power of the top now if only three more come.

At a time when it was not enough to start peace negotiations, Platinum Lord was now tantamount to arguing.

Kang hajin suspected that Platinum Lord was putting herself at risk. But Platinum Lord was not doing anything foolish.

“Fortunately, we have many ways to get it back.”

“Do you believe what Archmage says?””

Martial King approached and asked Mystery, who was preparing to climb back onto the abyss.

Mystery glanced in the direction of The One. The One was on the back in a bag made by Dynamite.

“I don’t believe it completely.”

“Of course…”

“It was a lie to turn off the lie detector.”

“How can I turn off the lie detector and talk to him?” But there was no lie in what he said.”

“Already, Archmage has deceived Mystery in a clever way.”

“It’s a way of telling lies.” The words themselves are true. It is true that Platinum Lord destroyed the city and killed all people. That alone makes sense that The One has taken the regression away from Platinum Lord.”

“But…”

“The ability to return is powerful, but it’s a dangerous skill that I can’t imagine what kind of beggar will come out of the hands of a villain or a maniac.” In the end, the problem is that I’m the one who took over.”

Mystery burst into a nervous laugh.

“What do you mean, I’m not The One who’s seen a beggar.” No matter how many times The One has returned, if you look at Baek Ho-min’s life as The One’s life, he or she owes at least thousands of lives. A myriad of people couldn’t move forward and were held back.”

“If I conquer the tower as a result, will I be forgiven for that crime?””

“I don’t know.”

Mystery showed a skeptical reaction.

“The One talked about the reason for taking away the circuit, not about when and why. I only think that he’s already seen the top the tower.”

“What?”

Martial King looked at the mausoleum with a surprised look.

What do you mean top the tower? It was a story he hadn’t heard.

However, I also thought that with the same ability, I would be able to conquer the tower.

No, from the beginning, I wondered who could conquer the tower if such a powerful man could not conquer it.

“Then why did you die here when you saw the tower?”…”

“Do you believe that The One has the ability to return purely with self-sacrifice?””

Martial King shut his mouth.

The One was a person far from self-sacrifice. Of course, at first glance, there are times when you can see the afterlife or the human side, but basically, it is a selfish and dogmatic personality.

And it was also the basis of Baek Ho-min’s personality, who had to do what he wanted to do.

“Tell me. What would you want to do if you had the ability to return?””

“…correcting the mistakes you made?”

Mystery nodded.

“In his life, he couldn’t have achieved what he wanted even though he climbed to the top with his powerful ability.”

“But you didn’t know it would go this far.”

“I said it with my own mouth, too.

“You arrogant punk.”

If you have the same ability, you deserve it.

It hides what it has, but The One ability is beyond the boundaries of general constellation.

If this was a tower, not an image world, I think I could compete with the tower itself.

“First of all, the priority is to watch steadily.” Right now… ”

Mystery said while looking at the collapsing abyss of the world of oblivion.

“Until the end of the mess.””

Baek Ho-min and Kang Hae-jin were constantly patrolling the alley.

Right now… “Ground.”

Hunters were busy building barricades and creating boundary towers to watch out for their surroundings.

Whenever a boundary tower was built, the platinum flowers that Platinum Lord brought disappeared like grains of sand.

Platinum Lord was wearing platinum to build another boundary tower.

Watching the platinum flowers obtained from executing countless criminals under the city disappear in vain, Baek Ho-min felt despondent.

“Kang hajin.”

“Why?”

“It’s the lord that the constellations are aiming for. Then I’ll just…… Wouldn’t it be safer to put it down the city? I don’t think it’s necessary for the lord to participate in the expedition.”

“There’s no law that the lower part of the city is necessarily safe.”

Instead of ignoring Kang Ha-jin, asking if he was angry or didn’t know that, Kang Ha-jin calmly.

“We don’t even know who constellation appeared during the rebellion in the city yet. It’s possible that it’s constellation of another tower. I’m sure you rarely come that far.”

Baek Ho-min tilted his head. As Baek Ho-min knew, the rebellion was Platinum Lord’s self-written play. If so, the constellation was also likely to be a cooperator of Platinum Lord from the beginning. However, it was unlikely that Kang Hae-jin wouldn’t know that either.

“Wouldn’t it be safer than the front?””

“To be honest, yes. You are right. If I could, I would like to put my lord in a safe rock prison somewhere. I’m not going to take a walk like this walk.”

Platinum Lord began to move again. The base was transforming into a fortress rather than an ordinary city.

It was questionable how long these fortresses would withstand the attacks of constellations.

But didn’t the lord say she was a returnee? If so, the strength of our tower compared to other towers is the memory of the lord itself. Nothing is as important as knowing how the enemy moves and how to attack.”

Watching Kang Hae-jin calmly mentioning his return, Baek Ho-min felt strange.

Kang hajin, like Baek Ho-min, heard about regression. Unlike Baek Ho-min, “Platinum Lord is a Regression”.

Although only the information of the degree was given.

“Platinum Lord is a returnee. Don’t you have any thoughts?””

“It’s not that I don’t think much…”… I’m glad.”

“You’re happy?”

“If the lord dies, the regression will begin.” No, it’s not like I’m going to die from the beginning. In other words, the lord is always safe.”

Kang hajin said with a rare smile.

What do you mean by having a lord next to me, who is a returnee? It means you can trust me and I’m useful. I am happy enough with that fact alone.”

“You’re really a perv.””

“There’s no way that you know what respect is and what love is.”

Kang hajin laughed at Baek Ho-min.

“More than anything, at least I won’t be a lord.”

In response to Kang Hae-jin, Baek Ho-min made a subtle expression.

Here, I wondered what expression he would make if he stole Platinum Lord’s ability to return.

However, Kang Hae-jin thought he would kill himself and take away his ability to return, so he decided to shut up.

Took.

Platinum Lord has stopped.

Kang hajin and Baek Ho-min stopped together and realized that the surrounding terrain was strange.

A long alley with both sides blocked. There was someone standing opposite it.

A man with a factor face on a droughty skin was approaching with a smile.

“Can you play Platinum Lord?””

Kang ha-jin and Baek Ho-min immediately pulled out their weapons because of their clear appearance as hunters of other towers.

The opponent was bare-handed. Even so, it didn’t matter whether the opponent was constellation or not.

If you have starlight, you can take out the constellation weapon at any time, and constellation is threatening enough even with bare hands.

Platinum Lord smiled at his face.

“That’s right.””

“That’s a relief. I said hello a few times while coming here, but I didn’t think you were familiar with it, so I asked you to check if it was really Yeongju.” I almost made a mistake.”

Say hi?

Baek Ho-min and Kang Hae-jin looked at him with a strange face.

Until now, they had never seen a face. Then the man patted his neck on the back of his neck.

Platinum Lord touched the back of his neck with a firm look.

There were about five pins stuck on the collar side of the top.

Kang hajin became contemplated. In the meantime, they had not felt any abnormal signs.

In other words, Platinum Lord was not strange even if he died five times already.

Kang ha-jin seemed to enter the battle right away, but Platinum Lord raised her hand and restrained him.

“What are you doing here?””

“What brought you here”?

“There is business on the heart of the lord rather than on the lord.”

The man spoke politely.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask if it’s okay to take the heart of the lord.””

Platinum Lord burst into a low laugh.

The man looked like he didn’t know why she was laughing when he asked so politely.

Platinum Lord stopped laughing and said, tilting his head.

“Sahar, can you do that?””

Sahar’s expression wriggled. She looked like how she knew his name.

“Thank you for trying to ask for permission to take things that can be taken at any time.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“But I left my heart in the refrigerator at home. Can you wait a moment?””

Sahar looked at Platinum Lord as if he was dumbfounded. He looked suspiciously at Platinum Lord’s mental state and opened his mouth.

“…How do you leave your heart in the refrigerator?””

“Then what kind of nonsense are you talking about, can I take out my heart?””
