Only I Have Two Towers Episode 248
Magitech Farming
Near the dais in the square.
Clap. Clap. Clap.
Yodel Ranger Unit Commander Kancheo looked around.
As Management Bureau Chief Porkan Beldor collapsed, a heavy silence settled over the square.
But who could be clapping in this situation?
‘Huh?!’
Kancheo’s eyes shook violently.
The source of the applause was Battalion Commander Seira Kinketon.
“Excellent. To grasp the enemy’s nature the moment battle began and use it against them in psychological warfare.”
Kancheo’s mouth fell open even wider.
This was Seira, rumored to be second only to Renia in showing no reactions.
And she was not only clapping but even talking to herself like this?
Just look at that face.
She wore an impossibly satisfied and warm smile, as if her manageable level of pride had been exceeded.
It showed just how brilliant the Captain’s performance had been.
If Battalion Commander Seira was acting like this, the Unit Commander couldn’t just stand still.
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!
Kancheo sent applause more vigorously than ever before.
“What! Why are you suddenly clapping!!”
“Just nod your head and clap! It would take too long to explain!”
“Got it!!”
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!
Even Odongtong Momo, who didn’t understand, joined in completely.
Of course, the Kanmo Duo’s clapping didn’t affect the atmosphere of the square at all.
Because their fluffy hands and chubby hands made relatively little sound no matter how hard they clapped.
“Huff…! Huff…!”
Was it because of the loud commotion?
Ruwolpeu, who had been in hiding, came running out to the square.
Ruwolpeu collapsed, breathless up to his chin.
He barely managed to steady his breathing and raised his head.
And then he faced it.
A scene far too surreal.
“This can’t be…”
Management Bureau Chief Porkan Beldor had fallen.
The tyrant known to have no rivals in Etherapolis.
As he stood dazed by the unreal scene.
“The ground is cold.”
A beloved voice reached him.
“You are my father’s disciple.”
Following the voice, Beila’s hand extended toward him.
He reflexively took that hand and stood up.
Since Beila was an android, she had no body temperature.
Yet somehow.
He seemed to feel warm heat from her hand.
“It’s been a long time.”
“A long time? I met you just a few days ago.”
It was natural.
Her memories from when her heart was removed until now would be blank.
Ruwolpeu smiled.
Actually, that was for the best.
That blank period contained things that didn’t need to be remembered.
“Your friend woke me up again.”
“Friend?”
He followed Beila’s gaze.
Jinhyeok, who was cleaning his sword beside the fallen Porkan.
He was the one who had brought about all these changes.
“Lord Ruwolpeu!”
Rosanna appeared leading a group of people.
Rosanna, who had arrived at the square, opened her mouth just as Ruwolpeu had moments before.
She had planned to go to the Management Bureau from now on and drive out Porkan’s forces.
So she had been prepared even for death, but what on earth was this?
Even seeing it with her own eyes, it felt completely unreal.
“Por, Porkan is… dead.”
“That Porkan…!”
It wasn’t just Porkan who had fallen.
The soldiers who had been caught in the middle, unable to do this or that, all laid down their weapons and knelt in unison.
Not only had Etherapolis’s hidden weapon been shattered to pieces, but Porkan had fallen too.
Doing anything more would be meaningless and reckless at the same time.
Ding!
At the cheerful sound, Jinhyeok raised his head.
[You have fulfilled the clear condition for the 21st Floor of the Mythic Tower: ‘Awaken Beila, the war hero of Etherapolis!’]
[You have cleared the 21st Floor of the Mythic Tower!]
Ding!
[You have defeated Management Bureau Chief Porkan Beldor and cut out the rotten parts of the magitech city Etherapolis!]
[Rather than simply defeating Porkan to regain freedom, you revived the dying embers of the city and gave people opportunity! This is perfect liberation!]
[As a reward, the 22nd Floor of the Mythic Tower will be changed to ‘Etheropolisville Magitech Research Institute’!]
# You can obtain the clear rewards for the 21st Floor at the Research Lab!
# The 22nd Floor will not consume tickets when re-entering after the first entry!
# You can freely use the research equipment in the Research Lab!
He roughly rubbed his chin.
An entire floor as a reward?
This was a form he’d never seen before.
[Entry condition for the 22nd Floor of the Mythic Tower: General Rosanna’s forces occupying the Management Bureau]
# She protected and helped the oppressed magitech engineers even under Porkan’s rule.
# Rosanna and her forces will end Porkan’s dictatorship and rebuild Etherapolis.
He turned his head.
It seemed he wouldn’t need to wait long.
A white flag was being raised to the top of the Management Bureau, apparently having heard news of the square.
Watching it made the corners of his mouth curl up wickedly.
A magitech research lab – what kind of items would be there?
As expected, the remaining procedures proceeded swiftly.
Jinhyeok and his party rode the Management Bureau elevator up, following Rosanna and Ruwolpeu.
“Everything’s so shiny!”
“We have to take it all!”
Kancheo and Momo breathed heavily with excitement.
Especially Momo’s eyes gleamed frighteningly – if left alone, she looked ready to take the entire Management Bureau.
Ding!
When the elevator that had been climbing for a while stopped, Rosanna stepped aside.
“We’ve arrived. This is Etherapolis’s most important facility, the Magitech Research Institute.”
Ding!
[The entry conditions for the 22nd Floor of the Tower of Myth have been met!]
[Remaining tickets exist. Would you like to enter immediately?]
Open it right now!
[Entering the 22nd Floor of the Tower of Myth ‘Etherapolis Magitech Research Institute’!]
The elevator doors opened, revealing the research institute.
“Wooooow!”
Indeed, magitech.
Even someone who didn’t know would see it was filled with cutting-edge tools and equipment.
Before starting to look around, I caught Momo who was trying to dash out.
“Momo. You can’t take the research equipment or facilities.”
“Why not!”
After glancing at Ruwolpeu and Rosanna behind us, I spoke secretly.
“You know the goose that lays golden eggs, right?”
“Yeah! Momo totally knows!”
That’s the reaction that comes out when she completely doesn’t know.
“Simply put, this is a place where high-performance items are continuously created.”
“Really?! That’s super good!”
“Right? What would happen if such a place stopped working? Long-term, the items we could take would decrease. If we get greedy now and take 10 items, 100 items we could take in the future would disappear.”
“That can’t happen!!”
Now she looked like she completely understood.
After giving her a thumbs up, I put Momo down.
“Momo! Come here! These magitech tongs look good for grilling meat! Let’s take them right away!”
“Noooooo!!!”
Momo rushed like a bullet and delivered a drop kick to Kancheo.
“Guhek! Why are you suddenly doing this! Let go of my ear! Gyaak! My ear’s going to fall off!”
“Kancheo, you idiot! Don’t you even know about the golden goose that lays chicks!”
“What’s that! How can a goose lay chicks in the first place?! Owwww!”
Jinhyeok smoothly turned his head, pretending not to see.
Either way, the research institute would be safe.
“It’s really been a long time.”
Ruwolpeu smiled as he looked around the research institute.
“I made Beila here with my master.”
“Now that you’ve returned, you can make dolls again.”
Ruwolpeu shook his head.
“I don’t plan to make dolls ever again. I’m not qualified. I did something too terrible to the children who risked their lives fighting for us. Instead, I’m thinking of researching things I’ve never made before. Learning new fields is also a quality and joy of being a magitech engineer.”
Ruwolpeu’s eyes sparkled.
Thank goodness.
When I first met him at the waste disposal site, his eyes were completely dead, but the light had returned.
“So, I have one favor to ask.”
“Yes?”
“Won’t you take Beila with you? Etherapolis not only drove a child who was a hero into being a killing machine, but also made her pull out her own heart. Even if Porkan was the one who led that, even if Beila doesn’t have memories of that time, the fact that Etherapolis did such a thing doesn’t change. And even aside from these reasons…”
Ruwolpeu paused for a moment before continuing.
“I’d like her to live in a world without magitech. If she naturally blends in and lives, won’t she realize? That even though she may have been created with a specific purpose, she can now just live as one of the ordinary members of this world.”
Jinhyeok nodded.
“If Beila wants that too, there’d be no problem, but I’m not sure if taking her out is possible.”
Whether it was the Tower of Myth or the Tower of Despair, if there was one thing that was absolutely impossible, it was taking out residents belonging to the tower, that is, living beings.
This was impossible even with Momo’s right seizure.
Even when I had previously kidnapped Konu saying we’d go out and play, it had failed without exception.
The fact that I could bring out friends like Seira, Dark, and Renia from each floor was entirely thanks to my Collector ability.
‘It might work though.’
Although she thinks and makes judgments like a person, Beila is a doll.
-The Philosopher’s Stone provides infinite energy, but it doesn’t grant life, you know?
Ellia, who made the stone, had also said so.
Creating life was absolutely impossible.
The Philosopher’s Stone was merely an energy source.
“I’ll try.”
“Thank you. That’s enough.”
After giving a thumbs up, I walked toward the inside of the research institute.
Let me gather some items first.
“Kancheo! How’s this gun!”
Momo lifted up a long rifle.
Mana circuits were drawn from the barrel to the grip, making it incredibly cool.
“I can’t use it. It needs to be able to hold clay.”
The speed at which laser particles flew was incredible, but it was a bit disappointing.
Ruwolpeu approached Kancheo, who was waving his hands.
“Little friend, won’t you let me see the gun you have?”
“You want to confiscate my staff again?! I said I can’t give my precious gun to just anyone!”
“I’ll embed mana circuits in your gun. To amplify the flying speed and power. Since dolls are my specialty, I’m a bit clumsy, but I can do this much.”
“Here it is.”
Jinhyeok swallowed dryly at Kancheo handing over the gun.
What an incredible change of attitude.
“Mr. Ruwolpeu. Could you possibly embed mana circuits in other weapons too?”
“It’s possible if they’re not weapons with inherent power. Such weapons have strong egos and reject mana circuits. For example, that knight friend’s sword would be like that.”
Seira laid out four treasured weapons.
Tarkan the Dark Sword, Raven the Thunder Sword, Yodo Muramasa, and Bloodrain the Blood Demon Sword.
“All four of them.”
Seira nodded.
She didn’t even look particularly disappointed.
She probably had no intention of doing it anyway.
Just as I was about to take out my swords to show them, I saw Etherapolis soldiers gathered below the window.
These were the personnel who had surrendered when Porkan died.
Looking at them, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
“Ms. Rosanna.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t the existing Management Bureau generals and soldiers each have weapons?”
“That’s correct.”
“They wouldn’t need them anymore now.”
“Th-that’s right.”
Stop!
Momo, who had been bickering with Kancheo, stopped moving.
Then, almost simultaneously with her master Yoo Jin-hyeok.
Grin!
She raised the corners of her mouth.
