Only I Have Two Towers Episode 173
Perfect Timing
Jinhyeok and Momo roamed freely through the forest.
Since it was such a peaceful forest, there was nothing that could pose a danger.
After a while, the two people, each carrying an armful of something, gathered at the promised location.
“Momo collected so much.”
Indeed, a friend with nimble hands.
It seemed like she had picked every single dandelion that existed in the forest.
“I left some behind! They need to grow again!”
After gathering them in the center, they sat down.
Then he took out the Yodel Compass.
Ellia had said the materials were too ridiculous and suggested they should rather go find blacksmith Svenson to hammer it out, but it was still too early to give up.
Together with Momo who sat down beside him with a plop, they collected dandelion seeds and put them into the Yodel Compass.
Then after putting his hands together, he desperately conjured up an image.
‘Helios meteor fragment. Helios meteor fragment.’
After waiting for a moment.
The dandelion seeds shot up into the air.
The seeds began drawing some kind of shape.
Jinhyeok focused his eyes and examined the shape.
“It disappeared!”
Not long after, the dandelion seeds that were used along with the shape disappeared.
But it didn’t matter.
There were plenty of them.
He repeated the same action he had just done.
The seeds scattered again, displaying another shape.
“Something’s different!”
“Right. I guess there are two or more places.”
They wouldn’t ask him to find something that didn’t exist.
Helios was probably one of the meteors that had fallen at some point.
He kept supplying dandelion seeds until something that seemed promising appeared.
Not more, not less, just exactly one would be enough, and if that wasn’t possible, even getting a part of it would do.
Then he could find the rest using the Yodel Compass.
“Stop!”
Momo shouted loudly and jumped up.
“Why, why.”
Startled, Jinhyeok looked at Momo.
“I’ve seen this place before! It’s the 63rd Floor!”
“63rd Floor? We went around there yesterday.”
“Right! I saw this rock and mountain shape!”
Since it was none other than Momo saying this, it was credible.
Momo had wandered around the widest area while processing and collecting monsters.
“But it’s strange! If it was nearby, Momo should have been able to smell it.”
Momo touched her nose.
When Momo became Epic grade, she had gained a unique trait specialized in treasure hunting.
“Maybe it was because the blizzard was too strong?”
“That could be it! All the treasure scents would have been scattered!”
“And somehow this.”
He gathered the seeds and scattered them once more.
The shapes being drawn were so different that he had thought they were completely different places.
But hearing it was the 63rd Floor, they seemed to be the same place.
“Is this below the crevasse?”
“Crevasse?!”
“No, crevasse. There were cracks all over the ice ground.”
“Momo knows that place! I fell in once and respawned!”
“There are incredibly deep crevasses too. Far away, and trapped inside ice, so it’s natural that there’s no smell.”
“Right! Master is so smart!”
The 63rd Floor.
He rubbed his chin.
It was a floor he had already cleared and left, but if he had a ticket, he could enter again as many times as he wanted.
‘It’s a bit of a waste though.’
The process was also bothersome.
Since Momo knew the place the seeds had just shown, the location was somewhat identified.
However, there was no way to know how deep in the crevasse it would be.
Since he couldn’t get kicked out of the floor, he had to avoid killing all the yetis and lead them around until he found the meteor.
At that moment, a thought flashed through his head.
‘How far has the transition progressed?’
The last transition Jinhyeok had cleared was the 62nd Floor.
Seeing that it hadn’t been updated on Top Site yet, the 63rd Floor transition must still be pending.
He smiled.
If worst came to worst, he’d have to visit the 63rd Floor once more.
But if he was lucky, he might be able to save a ticket.
“The Helios meteor is settled. Let’s look for the rest too.”
“Okay!”
He planned to keep repeating.
Until he used up all the dandelion seeds they had collected.
The house they returned to after finishing camping.
As soon as they entered, the friends who materialized had the most refreshed expressions in the world.
“I rested so well, so well. I feel like I’ve gotten 10 years younger?”
“Even so, you’re still 3,261 years old, aren’t you.”
“I want to beat you up from this morning again.”
Perhaps it was because they had heartily eaten hangover ramen with plenty of green onions and cheongyang peppers in the morning.
Not a single person looked haggard; everyone’s faces were bright.
“Momo’s skin seems to have gotten better!”
“Odongtongi’s was always good.”
Looking at his friends who had become squeaky clean, Jinhyeok nodded.
He realized once again the importance of rest.
He made a firm resolution.
When things seemed like a bit of a forced march, he should go camping or flower viewing once in a while.
“What are all these scribbles? Are they trash?”
Dark casually flipped through the sketchbook placed on the table.
Momo, who was nearby, turned into a stone.
It seemed like a loud crash could be heard.
“She became a stone statue again.”
“That’s what Momo drew while using dandelion seeds with the Yodel Compass. It’s a very important clue.”
“Ah.”
Only then did Dark look down at the petrified stone statue.
“She draws ridiculously badly, but it’s okay. She’s good at other things.”
After leaving words that were completely unconsoling, Dark quickly ran away.
Jinhyeok walked to the table and carefully organized and packed away the sketchbook.
The Yodel Compass that had drawn clues about the black dragon Drakan and flint.
For now, there’s nothing immediately apparent, but there’s no need to be impatient.
First, let’s start with the Helios meteor.
“Ah.”
Dark, who had been running away, turned around to look back.
“That thing painted in black, is it by any chance a dragon?”
“That’s right. The dandelion seeds roughly drew this shape. About the black dragon Drakan.”
“I don’t know if it’s Drakan or not, but I have seen a dragon before. I can’t quite remember if it was blue or black though.”
“What?!”
Come to think of it, Dark had never properly looked at the blueprint.
Even when we all examined it together, he just stretched and stared blankly at the sky.
I quickly took out the Yodel Compass and put in the dandelion seeds I had brought.
The seeds scattered into the air, drawing the shape of Drakan that we had seen earlier.
Dark, who looked closely, nodded his head.
“It seems similar. There should be traces left in Frostheim.”
I clenched my fist.
It would be perfect to go there tomorrow with a ticket.
Anyway, climbing the 13th floor requires going to the 65th Floor of the Tower of Despair first.
“It’s quite far from where the flowering trees are, so it would be good to dress warmly. Though it probably doesn’t matter for you, master.”
I gave a thumbs up.
Friends who are sensitive to cold can stay by the campfire.
I can send manifestation requests when needed.
“Ellia and Camilla for dishwashing duty.”
“Ohh…”
The two people who were about to lie down raised their hands with deflated voices.
They were caught for dishwashing duty like it was fate.
Today won’t be easy since there are many dishes used for camping.
“I’ll supervise them. That old lady left red stains last time too.”
“Excellent.”
Where did he get that from?
Kancheo positioned himself next to the sink with a fly swatter.
At Satan’s appearance, Ellia and Camilla started washing dishes with grimacing faces.
“Phew.”
I settled my body into the soft sofa.
And with my head tilted back, I took out the horn from my inventory.
Someone’s horn that showed no particular reaction even when taken to the Yodel Compass.
I should probably go up to the 13th Floor of the Mythic Tower to get some results.
The same goes for the key to Wonderland.
Ring ring ring.
I jumped up and grabbed the phone I had thrown aside.
I had sent a message on the way home.
Asking if they could let me know first if a 63rd floor transfer occurred, saying I would go and clear it.
“Yes! Team leader.”
# A 63rd floor transfer just occurred. It’s at the West Sea of Incheon. The sea distance is quite far, shall we provide you with a boat?
“It’s fine! I’ll figure out how to get there myself. Thank you!”
# Don’t mention it. We’re already short-handed, so we’re grateful that you’re clearing it for us. The cold is unbelievable, so please be careful. Oh, and. The Cheongsan liquor was so, so, so delicious. I was happy. Truly.
“I didn’t make it myself, but I’m glad you enjoyed it. Then I’ll depart right away.”
As soon as I hung up the phone, my eyes met with Ellia and Camilla.
The two were looking at me pitifully.
Asking me to take them out of here, saying they’d do anything except dishwashing.
Their arms were already red from being hit several times with the fly swatter.
“Kancheo.”
“Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo!”
“Supervise thoroughly until the dishwashing is finished!”
“Yes sir! Understood!”
The two people sighed deeply and continued washing dishes.
Leaving them behind, I put on my shoes.
Departing for the West Sea of Incheon.
A dock located at the corner of the West Sea of Incheon.
After carefully examining the surroundings, I manifested Dark.
“Just draw a straight line. Keep the cold air as low as possible!”
“Got it.”
Dark swung the Eternal Winter Iron toward the West Sea.
Following that trajectory, a sturdy ice path was created.
Vroooom!
I had prepared for the cold by changing to engine oil that doesn’t freeze easily and even packed auxiliary batteries to prevent power drain.
Since I lowered the cold air too, I trust it will hold up well.
I pulled the accelerator of Duram Unit 1 to full throttle.
Duram Unit 1 shot forward, boasting incredible zero-to-sixty acceleration.
There were no set speed limits.
With no obstacles either, I pushed it excitedly.
‘Oh. It’s incredibly fast.’
The speed shot up instantly, approaching nearly 300.
On the ice, it feels like I’m almost flying.
At this rate, won’t my eyebrows get torn off?
“General…”
“Kancheoooo!”
Kancheo flew backward the moment he manifested.
Kancheo, who re-manifested in front of Jinhyeok’s stomach, wiped his sweat.
“Phew, I thought I had become an airplane.”
While Kancheo reported the completion of dishwashing, the transferred 63rd floor came into view.
‘It has definitely gotten faster.’
The transfer speed that not only increases over time but even has a steepening slope.
It was a hot topic heating up the entire world these days.
At this rate, the academic consensus was that two transfers per day wasn’t far off.
Screeech.
Duram Unit 1 finally stopped after sliding for a long time.
I carefully covered it with a winter cover.
I can’t let it freeze solid when I haven’t even owned it for long.
“Camilla.”
Rustle.
The manifested Camilla scattered talismans.
Camilla brought her hands together and recited an incantation.
A transparent barrier was created around the transfer.
It’s a barrier that acts like a one-way mirror – you can see outside from inside, but you can’t see inside from outside.
“Can’t see inside!”
Kancheo went outside to check and gave a thumbs up.
Camilla, who exhaled smoke, spoke with a displeased expression.
“Of course you can’t see inside. Who do you think I am?”
She seems to be in a bad mood from getting hit multiple times with the fly swatter.
“Good, good.”
I rubbed my hands together and distributed pickaxes to Seira and Dark.
Since they’re strong friends, they’ll be pickaxe wielders along with me.
“Kancheo, keep watch to see if anyone’s coming or not.”
“Understood! Mission proceeding!”
“Momo takes the lead!”
Momo, who was assigned as the guide, stepped to the very front.
Now we’re about to start searching.
For the first material of the transcendent-grade sword Soul Harvester, the Helios meteorite.
