Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 189 The NPC in the safe area

gave me goose bumps.

The whole hill is a scene no different from a cemetery.

How many people have passed through this place now, more than ten years after the tower was built?

Among them, who could not escape Heida’s eyes and was caught?

I couldn’t imagine what their ending would have been like.

died in vain

It’s not difficult for an NPC to kill a single climber.

Of course, it’s hard to blindly attack a climber just because it’s an NPC, but…

if you attack without a justifiable reason, you can put a system restriction on it through protest.

Didn’t you already see how strong the system constraints were on the 45th floor?

Mobilidic and Chihirin. It is a restriction so strong that it turns even these people into idiots beyond the 80th floor.

It means…

‘Heida systematically made it possible to attack climbers.’

Just as Alios was able to attack those who crossed his realm.

Heida’s area is the entire field.

Heida’s role was clear as there was even an option to run away from her.

to deal with climbers.

–

he swallowed in a gulp.

What did you do with your innocent face?

Is this the explanation that the mind is broken?

“You are a friend of Odelto, a friend of the fairies. A friend of a friend is a friend of mine. Hehehe.”

If I hadn’t had the title of friend of a fairy, it was clear that I would have attacked indiscriminately.

One thing you can check here.

‘Heida is obsessed with her friends.’

A passion for collecting? Or obsession?

I don’t know what it is, but it’s dangerous.

Fortunately, Deokchun didn’t kill me while kidnapping me.

“Is the frog your friend? He is my friend too.”

I don’t know how the mindset went back, but I don’t think he attacked Deokchun because he’s my pet.

Good thing.

If so.

‘Because I must have stayed here for quite some time.’

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I don’t know anything else, but to my person, it’s a frog here, but anyway, if you do harm, I’m sure I’ll get revenge too.

“What did I do wrong? Let go of your anger…”

Heida hesitated and grabbed my arm, as if my expression had turned bloody for a moment.

“I’m not angry. I thought about it for a while. Odelto had something else to give you.”

“Is that so?”

“then.”

There’s nothing more ridiculous than being angry about something that never happened.

It was a good idea to keep Deodeok in your inventory.

I have it, but it’s not officially classified as a pet…

“Can you release this first? You can’t go out like this.”

Let’s focus on the quest.

The fact that the hidden quest had been triggered meant that there was a letter left by Odelto somewhere here.

There’s nothing you can do while stuck here.

“Um, that can’t be.”

Heida, who had been fiddling with her lips, shook her head.

“My friends are gone. Denium said that if you don’t be kind, the devil will take your friends. that’s a lie If you are not by my side, you will disappear.”

what is this again

“Who is Denium?”

“The person who brought me.”

brought?

where? Are you referring to the fairy world or somewhere else?

“Is he here?”

“Come sometimes.”

Afterwards, I asked a few more questions, but got no answers.

Did you say something different or intentionally ignore it?

bone hurts There is one more person involved that I don’t know.

denium? None of the NPCs I know of.

That means it’s a hidden NPC or something that only appears when certain events occur.

NPCs are not free to move, so it was correct to assume that he was somewhere on the 48th floor.

Let’s think.

Now I understand why Heida tied me up.

Because his friends kept disappearing while he was gone.

As long as they recognize me as a friend, they won’t let me go.

Then you have to change your method.

Heida put her hand out in front.

“Let’s do this. You have to go outside anyway, so there’s something to be found…

” We need to find Odelto. We decided to meet here.”

“If you go, will I be alone? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to move together?”

“Mmm.”

A boy in trouble.

I shrugged.

“What are you going to do if someone comes here while you are gone? I can’t even run away when an evil spirit or something comes.”

“That’s not allowed!”

Heida screamed and spread her hands.

With him, an intangible energy struck the chain.

– Kwachang!

[Chains to bind the catastrophe are destroyed.]

The chains tied to the feet and arms are broken.

this is broken

No matter what I do, I won’t stop.

My wrists are a little sore, but I have no problem moving them.

“Let Deokchun go too. If you’re going to move, you have to move together. Give me my helmet too.”

“ah! pitching.”

When I came to my senses, I couldn’t see the helmet I was wearing.

maybe he took it off

“Why did you take off your helmet?”

Heida, who must have heard my muttering, stared at my face.

Bashy laughed.

“lol! Ugly!”

The guy who left those words and rushed into the building.

what? suddenly pissed off

Wouldn’t it be enough for me to comply?

It’s been a while since I’ve been hit by an unexpected blow.

– Kwajik!

There was a sound of something breaking, then it reappeared.

Deokchun in one hand and a helmet in the other.

“Ahhh!”

It’s nice to see the guy jumping up and clinging to me.

I scratched his chin and put on his helmet.

I got everything I needed with this one.

All that remains is to go outside with the scandalous fairy and find the letter Odelto left behind.

that’s sure

Even if the field is wide, it is a field, because I have the power to see hidden information.

SS-class Power Eyes watching the stars!

Believe me this time too!

* * *

3 days.

It’s been a few days since I’ve been on the field with Heida.

performance is nil.

Although the field size is also large.

“Is it real?”

“To the ark.”

The degree of destruction of the field is too severe.

After all, Heida had been looking for traces of Odelto long before I did.

Although a few screws are missing, Heida is an NPC.

If it was something that could be found simply by walking around, I would have found it a long time ago.

“and! and! It’s a necklace!”

Heida, who was rummaging through the ruins of the building, took out a necklace that had melted to about ten thousand and ran away.

Until you hang it around your neck.

I realized while we were together, Heida likes accessories.

Even if it’s not accessories, I think I like anything that’s small and cute.

Seeing how he takes a teddy bear that has burst half way through like a treasure.

“Do you like that?”

“huh!”

If it’s good, I have nothing to say.

The abandoned house where Heida lived was also filled with the things he had collected.

At first, I thought it was trash, so I tried to throw it away, but I gave up after seeing them crying and making a fuss.

What’s more strange.

“You didn’t take what I gave you.”

Actually, I did not receive the goods I bought in the store window.

I don’t like the new one.

“The friend who gave you the gift can’t disappear.”

this is true

scratched the back of the head

The helmet has been put in the inventory for a while.

No one is watching, so it’s okay to take it off for a while.

Moderately blowing wind is cool.

“You received the gift Odelto gave you.”

“Odelto is fine. I gave a lot, but it never disappeared. Where did you go?”

Knowing the truth, I had nothing to say.

Perhaps he turned the subject while continuing his pointless excavation.

In the meantime, I asked Heida several questions.

Most of the things I skipped over because I couldn’t remember, but I answered a few things properly.

One of them is about friends who have disappeared.

“The gardener is nice. They gave me a lot of twigs and leaves.”

It looks like it was just taken care of.

“The daughter of the lady who was cooking was sick. Auntie’s hands are rough. I gave you a snack. I want to eat apple pie.”

She is the lady who feeds the gardener.

At least Heida did not lead a neglected life.

“Maylin! let him play with me Did you give me a book? But I can’t read.”

It is said that all the characters Heida mentioned disappeared at some point.

The vacant seats were filled with new people, and most of them were desolate.

They didn’t talk outside of work, and some of the people who loved Heida kept their distance from their colleagues.

Nonetheless, one or two became close friends with Heida.

“I can’t see you anymore.”

He said he always disappeared.

Here I have a question.

“Isn’t Denium gone?”

“huh! Denium is still there. Go on a trip with me sometimes. A lot of people! Odelto does not disappear either.”

Denium.

Up until now, the NPCs who had visited often had been by his side.

weird.

Perhaps he is the one who knows the most about Heida.

Is it because the level of affinity has risen through conversation?

“Denium saved me. I’m gone where I was We met when we crossed over to the human world.”

He also talked about Denium, which he was usually reluctant to do.

Denium is said to have been an aristocrat.

Countess of the Sainte Peace Empire.

It seems that he rose to the position of duke later.

I can understand why there were people who took care of Heida.

More than that, the place where Heida was located disappeared.

‘It must have been destroyed there too.’

It seems that Heida has crossed over from the destroyed world to another world.

Haven’t you seen it several times already?

There were demons who tried to come to the human world through demi-demons, and there were also those who tried to cross over to the demon world by making a contract with the devil.

Didn’t Alios also itemize Penny, who hadn’t climbed the tower, although it was a little different, and bring him to the tower?

“The fairy world and the human world are connected. There are limitations, but it is not difficult to overcome.”

Listening to my own words, this one seems to have a relatively low level of difficulty.

less so

I put down the rock I had lifted.

Spending any more time on the field is a waste of time.

There is nothing to react to the authority, and the luck stat that was activated whenever I was bored is quiet.

What does that mean?

It is difficult to achieve results in the general field.

There was a place that kept bothering me from before.

‘Safe zone.’

It’s the only place Heida can’t enter.

There is no answer other than that.

I looked to where the safe zone was. still emitting light.

“Heida, let’s go over there.”

“I can’t go inside.”

“I can.”

“no! You decided to stick right next to me. Please don’t leave me behind!”

The guy who jumps right in by the arm.

Every time I do that, my body staggers back and forth.

Ahhh, you’re strong.

“okay! Deokchun here. I’m not going anywhere, leaving Deokchun behind.”

“That’s it.”

He put Deokchun on top of Heida’s head.

Deokchun, who was puffing out his cheeks as if dissatisfied, waved his hand.

Gesture to go quickly.

“And you’re stronger than I thought.”

“really?”

Do not look with suspicious eyes.

because you are so strong

Among those who climb the east level, I am the top.

“okay. I’ll leave the pitch here too, okay? It’s my treasure No. 2.”

No. 1 is Deokchun.

He still had a pouty face, but since he had seen how much I cared for Deokchun and the Fellain set, he seemed to accept it to some extent.

“It might be inside. You can’t, but I can search.”

Crucially, I could only nod my head when I heard that there was a high possibility that there would be traces of Odelto.

“You have to come out quickly!”

“Well then.”

That’s how he escaped from Heida’s hands.

I went straight into the safe zone.

[You have entered the safe area.]

The appearance of the safe area unfolds with a notification.

I thought it would be similar to the field because I couldn’t see it because it was hidden by a pillar of light when I was outside.

“Are you all right?”

Contrary to my expectations, I saw a building that looked fine and the land overgrown with grass.

Even the air is fresh.

Outside, it was dry and there was only a dusty, stuffy wind blowing…..

that’s surprising too.

“A new climber. haha. All right. Welcome.”

What surprised me most was that there was an NPC in the safe area.

Also someone I know.

[Denium- NPC]

-The duke of the fallen empire Sainton Peace

-The first-class contributor to the unification of the continent.
