Only I Have Two Towers Episode 291

National Disaster

Somewhere in the Snowy Plains Spetsotriad unit.

Had even 10 seconds passed since arriving at the coordinates the Client had written down?

Thud!

“Kyaaahhhhh!!”

Momo fell to her knees and screamed.

It wasn’t that the Client had lied.

Since his own life was precious, he didn’t take the gamble of lying.

This place had various treasures including gold piled up.

More precisely, it was estimated to have been piled up.

That is, until the powerful clay bullets were unleashed.

“You stupid explosive Yodels!!”

Momo jumped up and executed her signature spinning kick.

Had she been secretly training with Renia or something?

Her attacking motion was very clean.

“What are you doing, pig.”

Of course, cleanness aside, it didn’t hit.

It seemed he had anticipated Momo’s reaction from past experience.

Kancheo was far away in stealth mode.

“Hiyaaahhhhh!!!”

Whoosh whoosh. Whirlick.

Several more kicks were thrown after that, but they were futile.

Wind fighter Momo just kept hitting innocent air.

“Phew. Totally exhausting!”

Momo wiped the sweat from her forehead with a refreshed expression.

They say exercise is good for stress relief, and it must be true.

I walked inside and examined the melted items.

It seemed meaningless to try taking these.

“How is it, Momo? Is there anything worth salvaging?”

“Wait a minute!”

Momo closed her eyes, put her hands behind her back, and slowly walked around.

Sniff sniff sniff sniff!!

Momo flared her nostrils and scanned all directions.

Unique trait: Scent of Treasure.

Capable Momo could smell if there were treasures nearby.

After wandering around various parts of the storage for a while.

“Hiyaaahhhhh!!”

Fighter Mo flew through the air once more, slicing through emptiness.

Thud!

Momo, face-down on the ground, turned her head toward me.

“There’s nothing! It’s a complete bust!”

I nodded and walked toward the inner wall.

It was a place that had barely escaped the explosion range.

All that remained were some soot-stained documents.

I picked up the closest one and examined it.

The words “Top Secret” were written in large letters in Russian.

“Hmm.”

I rubbed my chin.

Operation Viper of the Wasteland.

It seemed like a secret operation carried out by Spetsotriad.

It wasn’t an intuitive treasure like gold or silver, but maybe it could be even better?

“Momooooo!!”

“Why are you call… huff! huff! calling me!”

Mohwang came running over and hit the brakes hard.

She had been swinging her bread-man punches non-stop trying to beat up Kancheo somehow, and was completely drenched in sweat.

“Let’s gather everything here.”

“What is this! Paper isn’t expensive!”

Momo rubbed her chubby chin and sparkled her golden eyes.

Golden eyes could discern the value of objects.

But since they couldn’t see through to the value of information written on paper, it was hard to determine what was useful or not right now.

Therefore, let’s gather everything for now.

“We might be able to exchange it for money later.”

“Money is good! We have to gather it!”

Momo dashed over with a whoosh and started sweeping the walls.

Momo moved her hands at invisible speed, gathering and storing documents.

When it came to gathering things, Momo was truly incredibly fast.

“Look at that pig’s cheek fat jiggling. She ate over thirty roasted sweet potatoes with Nia earlier too.”

I looked down at Kancheo who had come beside me.

Judging by the dark fur around his mouth, it seemed he had eaten quite well himself, yet he spoke as if it were someone else’s business.

“All gathered!”

I gave her a thumbs up.

Let’s slowly find out what information there is.

I dismissed Momo and used stealth.

Presences that had gotten close nearby.

Going outside, I could see an army swarming like a pack of dogs.

They seemed very angry.

“They couldn’t have escaped! Search every inch!”

“They can’t escape without a trace in this snowfield! Follow every footprint that went outside!”

Indeed, a search unit.

Their attention to detail was exceptional.

I reduced my weight with Hermes’ Shoes and glided forward.

Even with reduced weight, the soft snow would leave footprints if I wasn’t careful.

Woof woof woof!

I was momentarily startled by the barking sounds from all directions.

“No problem! When the snowstorm is severe, even if there’s a scent, the location can’t be pinpointed!”

Thanks to our excellent Yodel Ranger’s insight, I felt relieved.

Gliding like skating, I looked back over my shoulder.

“How do you know all that stuff, Kancheo? Were there tracking dogs or search dogs in Yodel Forest too?”

“I tried it when I was tracking!”

I finally remembered.

When we went to catch Grandpa Toto, the sight of him pressing his nose close to the ground as he advanced.

Since it was from practical experience, it felt more trustworthy.

After advancing a bit more, I spoke up.

“But I think Kancheo should be dismissed.”

Even though I was in stealth, perhaps because of his fluffy fur.

Snow was gradually accumulating, threatening to reveal the Yodel’s form.

“Eh?! Yodel Ranger Kancheo! Retreating!”

Kancheo disappeared with a poof.

It was a bit boring with my chatting friend gone, but sometimes this kind of quietness wasn’t bad either.

‘How far should I go before I can ride it?’

I can’t make it to the border at this turtle-like pace.

Once I break through the encirclement, I plan to ride the board I got from Tzuyou at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and descend.

‘This should be fun.’

A ski resort I never got to visit because the cost was too burdensome.

I’ve never tried snowboarding because of that, but it should be fine, right?

Probably fine.

Even if I fall, nothing will break.

I hummed a tune as I moved forward.

This damn meaningless encirclement.

Hurry up and end already.

While Jinhyeok was breaking through the encirclement and snowboarding.

General Dmitri Orlov, who was commanding the search, swung his fist.

The hill shattered into pieces.

The nearby soldiers swallowed nervously.

“What did you say? Report again.”

# A-all search teams that formed the encirclement have assembled. There was nothing on the way here.

“There must be a place we missed.”

# General, this is Uchinsky.

Dmitri’s direct aide and one of Russia’s top military assets, Uchinsky.

Since he was a trustworthy person, Dmitri steadied his breathing and spoke.

“Speak.”

# We checked even the internal blueprints of the facility and searched everywhere including the restrooms, but found nothing.

“Are you saying a company-sized force just evaporated?”

# They might have used another escape route like teleportation.

“That’s impossible. Unless they’re some ridiculously overpowered teleporter who moved beyond the border.”

Silence followed.

At least as far as Dmitri knew, no such overpowered movement ability users existed in this world.

# General, this is my personal hypothesis, but what if they entered the Tower of Despair?

Dmitri frowned.

This was the most realistic explanation among everything he’d heard since arriving here.

‘The Tower.’

The question of where the Client went remained, but it explained how a company-sized force disappeared instantly.

‘Are they planning to escape in small numbers when the encirclement loosens?’

He smirked.

They used their heads well, but they underestimated us too much.

“Uchinsky, go to nearby units and bring all available detection equipment. Set them up densely around our current assembly point. There’s no operation deadline. Until those guys come out.”

# Yes! Understood!

He was confident in patience battles.

He’d done them to death since becoming a soldier.

Ding.

He looked down at the notification sound.

“!!!”

Dmitri held his forehead after checking the message.

This was a first.

Never had he felt this dizzy with everything going dark before his eyes.

# DNA collection and confirmation results from scattered remains in underground bunker: Client deceased.

‘Damn it…!’

The worst-case scenario he’d been worried about had occurred.

The moment this news reached the leadership, it would come.

The worst chaos in Russian history.

‘They’ll start tearing each other apart.’

The leadership had been able to stay peaceful only thanks to the Client’s money pipeline.

Major projects all required massive funding.

The moment that funding disappeared, they’d wage a silent war to claim limited resources.

This would shake the very foundation of Russia as a nation.

Crack!!

Unbearable rage welled up.

Just who the hell was it?

Someone who suddenly appeared, dealt Russia this national disaster-level blow, and left.

Crackle. Crackle.

Endless rolling hills.

I reached my hands toward the campfire.

So warm.

“It was super fast and fun!”

Kancheo’s pointed ears showed some fierce movement.

The snowboard we rode down the snowy mountain.

Actually, saying I “rode” it would be more accurate to say I just got carried down.

‘That was scary.’

Since I didn’t know how to ride it, I just stood there maintaining balance.

I shot down like a bullet.

How did I stop at the end?

I didn’t stop.

I just trusted my sturdy body and crashed.

My body’s fine and the board survived safely, so everything’s okay, right?

Anyway, even after coming down the snowy mountain, I had to travel quite a while using various transportation methods.

After crossing the border like that, I arrived here in Latvia.

It struck me anew how great money is.

Otherwise, I would have had to hitchhike or just walk all the way here.

‘I should exchange more for dollars.’

As I nodded, a mouth-watering smell wafted over.

Bubble bubble bubble.

Mosyeop, who had retired from the kitchen after Beila took over cooking duties.

Today, Mosyeop showed off his skills for the first time in a while.

“It’s ready!”

Finely chopped green onions and a cracked egg.

Plus noodles that looked perfectly chewy.

Nothing beats this after playing in the snow.

“Nom.”

“Stop right there!”

Momo blocked Nia’s slow approach with a ladle.

“Wait for Mosyeop’s distribution!”

“Mmm.”

Thank goodness.

The whole pot of ramen almost disappeared, but I marked it just in time.

As I waited obediently, Momo served ramen in a large bowl.

I quickly took it and topped it with well-fermented Kim Min-ji’s signature cabbage kimchi before slurping it down.

Slurp!

“Mmm…!”

Pure bliss.

Right now, I don’t envy omakase one bit.

“You cook well.”

Camilla, who was sitting beside me eating, also sent her praise.

I suspect she’ll probably be vigorously squishing those chubby cheeks in a little while.

“But master. How are you planning to get out of here from this point?”

“I need to find somewhere to make a call and contact Black Wings. Since we’ve left the Russian border, I’ll ask them to come pick us up. While we wait, I’ll explore the Tower of Myth and Tower of Despair a bit. And!”

I pulled out one of the documents I’d brought from Spetsotriad.

Ellia had gone into the Star Forge carrying the entire bundle of documents.

A few hours later, Ellia appeared with this document and said.

It seemed to be nearby, so could we stop by there.

I went over to Camilla and showed her the document.

“It’s ruins that Russia was secretly exploring, and apparently there are sculptures and murals whose creation period is unknown.”

The report wasn’t properly finished, as if they had stopped midway.

Most of the content described inside was just hypotheses based on speculation about alien civilizations or other worlds.

“Isn’t that exactly the kind of place where you’re bound to meet them?”

Ellia smiled as she brought over her ramen bowl.

“Unexpected treasures!”

I agree.

A place that Russia, which already hides so much, was secretly exploring.

It would be a bust if they’d already discovered and taken everything, but judging from the report alone, it seems they didn’t achieve any significant results.

So this time, let’s go and search for ourselves.

We have specialists in treasure hunting on our side.
