Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

“Tweet tweet.”

Iona was humming a tune as she strolled through the shopping district. She was in a great mood as she was shopping for necessities in the shopping district for the first time in a while.

On her way back after a delightful shopping,

“Meow, meow, meow.”

A yellow cat came strutting towards her, a sense of pride in its gait.

And

“What’s this, meow?”

A cat, despite being an intermediate wandering merchant, fearlessly blocked her path.

“Don’t you know who I am? Step aside!”

“And you, do you know who I am, meow?!”

Elka, watching the two tiny creatures assert their own importance, found the situation amusing.

Just then,

“…?!”

Elka noticed a small, staff-like red-colored wooden stick strapped to the cute hamster’s back. At the end of the staff was a black gem, ominous in its appearance, covered in densely engraved golden letters.

‘Is that… the Staff of Disaster?!’

The Staff of Disaster was a legendary item, one of only three in the tower. It was the signature weapon of Iona, the head of the Wizard’s Association, known as the destructive wizard.

Could that hamster be?!

As Elka was taken aback, Theo gave him a hint to quickly explain who he was.

‘What should I do?’

On one hand, there was the follower of the great black dragon, and on the other, there was the destructive magician, Iona. Both were formidable beings.

Slurp. Slurp.

Caught between two giant beings, Elka awkwardly licked his lips. From an outsider’s perspective, it looked like a giant wolf licking its lips at the sight of a tiny cat and hamster… but in reality, the Silver Wolf Tribe’s chief, Elka, was feeling quite anxious.

“Miss Iona, Theo here is a follower of the Great Black Dragon.”

Elka quickly disclosed Theo’s identity, hoping to prevent Iona from attacking Theo.

The destructive wizard, Iona. It was known that with one blast of her magic, she could obliterate a mountain and create a river. If Iona were to impulsively attack Theo, he would be dead on the spot.

“Silver Wolf Tribe, is this true? If it’s a lie, all of you will not be able to escape death for the crime of impersonating the Great Black Dragon’s name.”

“I swear upon my tribe that it is not a lie.”

As Iona began to intensely scrutinize Elka to verify the truth,

“Stop tormenting my subordinate, meow! Talk to me, meow!”

Theo boldly stepped forward.

“Then prove that you really are a follower of the Great Black Dragon.”

“How so, meow?”

“If you truly are a follower of the Great Black Dragon, then take me to him.”

Iona intended to ask the Great Black Dragon to solve the problem of the Red Locusts that had invaded the 67th floor of the tower.

However,

“For free, meow?”

Theo spoke as if it was out of the question. He had the merchant’s intuition that he couldn’t just accept it.

“What do you want?”

“For now, there are things to buy here and Iona should pay for them all, meow.”

“Oh… Okay.”

Iona was taken aback by Theo’s response and answered. She had thought he would say something significant but he was just talking about trivial things. Iona looked at Theo strangely and joined the group.

Theo went to a different general store, not the one he had been to before. If the owner, an intermediate wandering merchant, recognized him and gave him things for free, it wouldn’t be rewarding to receive payment from Eona.

Theo entered the general store and began to select items to buy.

The items that Sejun had asked for were three large pots, a frying pan, and ten glass bottles. But today, since he would be spending Eona’s money, he added 90 glass bottles and a straw hat similar to Sejun’s, filled with a little personal touch.

“That will be a total of 21.1 Tower coins.”

“Here…”

As Iona was about to pay,

“Give me a discount, meow!”

Theo started to haggle three times. When buying goods, he always followed Sejun’s instructions to haggle three times. Theo was a cat with zero flexibility when it came to Sejun’s instructions.

“Alright. Then, I will give it to you for 13 Tower Coins.”
