Solo Farming In The Tower

“I… I want it!”

Ulrich answered, as if mesmerized by the black dragon tattoo on Theo’s paw.

It was a mark of being a subordinate of the great black dragon. Possessing it would be a glory for the clan, no, the glory of his entire race.

And if he could achieve it, he would become a great king who would be remembered in the history of the Black Orcs for generations to come.

“Then listen to me from now on, meow!”

Theo spoke arrogantly, placing his hand on his waist. If Ulrich obeyed him, he intended to ask Sejun later to get one of Kaiser’s scales for him.

“Of course! We will follow whatever the subordinate of the great black dragon says!”

“No, meow!”

“What?!”

“Listen carefully, meow! I am Theo Park, the deadly yellow cat, subordinate of the great black dragon, meow!”

“Ah! Yes! The deadly yellow cat, Theo Park, subordinate of the great black dragon!”

“Puhuhu, that’s right, meow!”

Theo felt very pleased to hear his introduction from someone else’s mouth.

“Subordinate of the Great Black Dragon, deadly yellow cat Theo Park, bestow upon us the honor of using the mark of the great black dragon!”

“Meow?! How do you intend to use the mark, meow?”

“We have a way. Luken!”

As Ulrich shouted,

“Yes!”

A giant Black Orc entered, holding a staff adorned with skulls.

“Our black orc tribe’s shaman, Luken, will copy the mark on the paw of the great black dragon’s subordinate, the deadly yellow cat Theo Park.”

“Copy, meow?”

“Yes! The mark of the great black dragon’s subordinate, the deadly yellow cat, Theo Park, will not be damaged.”

“Okay then, meow!”

“Thank you! Deadly yellow cat, Theo Park, subordinate of the great black dragon!”

“Ulrich, just call me by my name from now on.”

The titles were getting too long, and Theo found them bothersome.

“Yes! Lord Theo!”

“Lord Ulrich, where will you engrave the mark?”

Luken asked Ulrich.

“The great black dragon is a supreme being! It’s impossible for me to be above him! I will engrave the mark on my forehead!”

“Yes! I understand. Then, please place the mark on your head!”

“Okay!”

Thud!

Ulrich lay before Theo.

“Lord Theo, please place the mark on my forehead!”

“Like this, meow?!”

Chuk.

At Ulrich’s request, Theo placed his paw, with the tattoo, on Ulrich’s forehead. Somehow, it looked like a delinquent stepping on a person’s head, who was bowing down and begging.

“Please stay like that for a moment!”

Thump! Thump!

As Luken hit the ground with his staff and used a spell,

Ooong.

A red light flowed between Theo’s paw and Ulrich’s forehead.

“It’s done!”

“Thank you for your hard work, Lord Theo!”

“You’ve worked hard too, Ulrich, meow!”

Theo responded without changing his position at Ulrich’s words.

“…You may take it off now.”

“Okay, meow!”

Theo finally lifted his paw off Ulrich’s forehead, revealing the perfectly engraved tattoo of the great black dragon on Ulrich’s forehead.

At that moment,

“Meow?!”

Theo discovered that something else was copied as well. The round shapes surrounding the black dragon tattoo. Theo’s paw print had been engraved along with the black dragon tattoo on Ulrich’s forehead.

However,

“Luken, from now on, this mark will be the flag of our Black Orc kingdom!”

“Yes! I understand!”

The black orcs thought that the original mark of the great black dragon looked like that.

‘It’s not my fault, meow!’
