Is this the Black Tower? Impressive.

As soon as she arrived on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, Veronica admired the various types of crops and the vast farm that came into view.

Then,

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Eliminate or negotiate with Park Sejun and his group, who have illegally occupied the farm in the Black Tower, and reclaim the rights to the land.]

Reward: Recognized as the rightful owner of the 99th floor farm of the Black Tower

A quest message appeared in front of Veronica.

Park Sejun and his group?

Whats this about?! Reading the message, Veronica looked around in confusion, hurrying to find Sejun to clear up the misunderstanding, lest she be mistaken for an enemy come to steal the farm.

Who is Sejun-nim?

Growing anxious, Veronica thought.

That person must be Sejun-nim!

Veronica greeted someone who, to anyones eyes, seemed to exude the powerful aura of a tower farmer.

But,

Click.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Dad is over there! Cuengis dads name is Sejun!]

The being she greeted was not Sejun, but Sejuns son.

What?!

Doomed! Trying to avoid misunderstanding, Veronica ended up insulting the other party.

She quickly turned her head in the direction pointed by Cuengis front paws.

Flap. Flap.

Veronica, its this way!

Only then did she see Sejun and Flamie, who was busily flapping leaves on Sejuns shoulder.

Sejun-nim, Im sorry I didnt recognize you!

Veronica hurriedly apologized to Sejun.

Why is the tower farmer so weak?

Veronica found the weak tower farmer curious. But they dont look alike at all?

When Veronica was puzzled by the different appearances of Cuengi and Sejun,

Its okay It can happen But what is a tower farmer from the Purple Tower doing here?

Sejun spoke to Veronica with a voice full of wariness, slowly moving towards Cuengi.

He thought of hiding behind Cuengi if necessary.

Thinking back, there had been incidents of assassins infiltrating from the Purple Tower, killing several people, and stealing land deeds.

Moreover, the opponent was a tower farmer from the Purple Tower.

He couldnt let his guard down, as an attack could come unexpectedly.

Ah. I

Veronica, who came because she couldnt stay in the Purple Tower.

While Veronica was pondering what to say,

Flutter. Flutter.

-Sejun, are you okay?!

-Stay away from Sejun!

-Sejun, are you hurt?!

Dragons, feeling the wave of teleportation magic, hurriedly flew in.

And then,

-Its a Dark Elf, right?

-If its a Dark Elf, theyre from the Purple Tower, right?

-Then, lets kill her.

Grrrr.

The dragons who discovered Veronica raised their energy.

It was the dragons will not to leave anything that could endanger Sejun nearby.

Why are there three dragons here? And both the great White Dragon and the great Red Dragon are together?

Veronica was puzzled why dragons from other towers were together, but that wasnt the immediate concern.

Great dragons! I am Veronica, a tower farmer from the Purple Tower! I wish to seek asylum!

As the dragons were about to attack without question, Veronica shouted out urgently.

-Asylum?!

Kaiser was surprised by Veronicas words.

If the tower farmer from the Purple Tower sought asylum, it was a welcome development for him.

Tier Peten would probably protest, but what could he do?

-Kukukuku. Its his own fault for not managing the tower farmer well.

-It would be fun to see Tiers angry face

-Phuhuhu. Im looking forward to it.

The dragons imagined Tiers furious reaction and delighted in the thought.

***

Asylum?

Sejun, who had been listening from the side, made a puzzled expression when

Thud. Thud.

Fenrir, who had eagerly moved to sit in front of Sejun, arrived.

Kking! Kking!

I sat down! Give me the yellow and chewy one quickly!

Fenrir, having sat down, boldly requested dried sweet potato.

Blackie, did you sit down on your own to get a snack? Good boy, Blackie. Here.

When Sejun took out and gave him a piece of dried sweet potato,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Fenrir began to eat the dried sweet potato deliciously.

I want to eat some too.

Sejun, enticed by Fenrir eating deliciously, put a piece of dried sweet potato in his mouth.

Kueng!

[Daddy Cuengi wants to eat too!]

Alright. Here.

Swoosh.

He put a handful of dried sweet potato into Cuengis mouth.

Kuehehehe.

As Sejun, Cuengi, and Fenrir were amicably sharing dried sweet potatoes,

-Are you really here to seek asylum?

Kaiser asked Veronica again, using the Eye of Truth.

The Eye of Truth is high-level magic that can discern lies. If Veronica lied, it would be detected.

Yes. I want to seek asylum!

Veronica responded more firmly to Kaisers question.

Veronica, who had inadvertently mentioned seeking asylum,

But upon reflection, she found it tiresome to be harassed by Tier Peten, the leader of the Purple Dragons.

And she disliked the idea of going back to the Purple Tower to rebuild her poison resistance.

Because the process of building up poison was very painful.

Of course, it would be easier since she had done it once before, but pain was still pain.

She decided to just live in the Black Tower from now on.

-Good. However, I will place a subordination contract to ensure you cannot harm our Sejun. Do you agree?

Yes

Veronica immediately agreed to Kaisers question.

Though he asked, refusal meant death. There was no other answer but to accept; it was a true/false question with only one correct choice.

Then lets begin the subordination contract.

Zing.

As Kaiser used his magic, a black orb was created in the air.

-Sejun, imbue your magic power here.

Yes.

Following Kaisers instruction, Sejun infused the fist-sized orb with his magic power,

Party A: Park Sejun

Sejuns name was engraved on the surface of the black orb in golden letters.

-Now, you imbue it with your magic power.

Yes.

Party B: Veronica

Veronica also imbued her name into it, with the letters in white, unlike Sejuns.

-The contract is completed. This contract is notarized in the name of the great Black Dragon, Kaiser Pritani.

Notarized by: Kaiser Pritani

Kaisers name was engraved along with his words.

As the contract was about to be completed,

-Notarized in the name of the great White Dragon, Kellion Mamebe.

-Notarized in the name of the great Red Dragon, Ramter Zahir.

The two dragons imbued the orb with their magic power, engraving their names as well.

This was their way of showing Sejun that they were also helping him.

Notarized by: Kaiser Pritani, Kellion Mamebe, Ramter Zahir

While the contract bearing the names of the three dragons was being made,

All of them are leaders?!

Veronica was greatly surprised to hear the names of the three dragons.

It was rumored among the tower farmers of other towers that Aileen was the manager of the Black Tower.

So she thought the other dragon statues were of similar level dragons but they were not at all.

Then,

Kaiser-nim, am I supposed to carry this around like this?

Click. Click.

Sejun tossed and caught the completed contract orb, asking.

In the presence of the great dragons, Sejun inconsiderately complained about something uncomfortable.

And that too, while playing with an orb that had the names of three great dragon clan leaders written on it!

Shouldnt this be stopped?

When Veronica was looking at the dragons, wondering if she should intervene,

-Why is it uncomfortable?

Instead of getting angry, Kaiser paid close attention to Sejuns words.

It could roll away and get lost.

As Sejun rolled the contract orb on the ground,

Kking!

Black fruit!

Seeing a round black object in front of him, Fenrir rushed and leapt towards it.

Whether he could swallow it or not was not important to Fenrir. The fact that it was a black fruit mattered to him.

But,

Slip.

The orb slipped not into Fenrirs mouth but onto his chin,

Whoosh.

Kking?

Fenrir, with the orb sliding under his belly,

Whirl.

Did a 360-degree turn in the air,

Thud.

And landed on the ground in a triumphant pose.

Kking. Kking

It hurts. Damn it And in front of the dragons, too

Fenrir, whose dignified wolf pride was wounded in various ways.

Blackie, are you okay?

Sejun hurriedly called out to Fenrir, but

Just leave me be.

Fenrir, enduring the pain, did not respond. He wanted to be alone.

However,

Kaiser-nim, I think Blackie has fainted! Please heal him!

Understood. Be healed.

Sejun, unaware of Fenrirs feelings, forcibly woke him.

Kking

I feel so down

Unable to pretend to be unconscious, thanks to that, Fenrir buried his head in Sejuns foot and lay down.

Anyway, since it can be stepped on and cause slipping, please change its form.

-What form should I change it to then?

-Kaiser, change it into a ring.

-No Just transform it into a paper form.

That sounds better.

Thus, the contract orb was transformed into a scroll-shaped contract.

And,

Somethings wrong here.

Veronica looked incredulously at Sejun receiving the dragons adoration.

It was just a few requests, but to Veronica, it seemed like perfect pampering.

The tower farmers she knew were professions that received orders from dragons and got scolded for not doing well.

As Veronica struggled to adapt to the incomprehensible atmosphere of the Black Tower,

[Black Towers tower farmer, Park Sejun, has taken Purple Towers tower farmer, Veronica, under his wing.]

[You have achieved the feat of taking 2 tower farmers under your wing.]

[As a reward for the feat of the Great Farmer, one job trait is added.]

[With the job trait, you borrow 0.2% of the stats of the tower farmers under your wing.]

A message of achievement appeared in front of Sejun,

[According to the job trait, you borrow 0.2% of the stats of White Towers tower farmer, Ajax Mamebe.]

[Strength 70, Stamina 40, Agility 38, Magic Power 100 are increased.]

[According to the job trait, you borrow 0.2% of the stats of Purple Towers tower farmer, Veronica.]

[Strength 5, Stamina 8, Agility 18, Magic Power 14 are increased.]

The job trait was activated, borrowing 0.2% of the stats from the tower farmers under his wing.

0.2% means if I multiply it by 500, it would be their original stats?

Sejun became curious about Ajaxs and Veronicas stats and did the math.

He always wondered how strong they were since he kept fainting and facing life-threatening situations every day.

Lets start with Ajax first. 70 times 500 is huh?! Strength 35,000?!

That was almost 9 times his total stats in strength alone.

[Ajax]

Strength 35,000, Stamina 20,000, Agility 19,000, Magic Power 50,000

[Veronica]

Strength 2,500, Stamina 4,000, Agility 9,000, Magic Power 7,000

Thus, he learned both of their stats.

Ah.

Sejun realized why he had been fainting and nearly dying was all too natural.

He wondered how he had managed to survive until now.

Its all thanks to everyone.

Sejun thought of those who had protected him and felt grateful when,

Sejun-nim, please accept this.

Veronica handed him the land deed for the 99th floor of the Black Tower and five land deeds for the Purple Tower as requested by Flamie.

They were for the 11th, 23rd, 53rd, 72nd, and 89th floors of the Purple Tower.

Thank you. But why are you giving me the Purple Tower land deeds?

Ah. Thats to convey my sincerity.

Veronica, who couldnt say it was because Flamie asked, made up a vague excuse.

And then,

[You have become the rightful owner of the Black Towers 99th floor.]

Sejun finally became the real owner of the farm on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

***

Purple Towers Administrator Area.

Hmm Becca She looked in pain earlier. Should I have used some healing magic on her? (Note: Im not sure if I mentioned this before, but I previously translated Bekah when Veronicas name wasnt revealed. Becca is short name of Veronica)

While Tier was lost in thought, recalling Veronicas pallid face from earlier,

Ding.

A red alarm appeared on the crystal ball.

Whats this?

A red color signified a very important alert. Tier hurriedly checked the alarm.

[Purple Towers tower farmer, Veronica, has joined under Black Towers tower farmer, Park Sejun.]

What?! How dare Kaiser, that bastard! How dare he take my tower farmer?!

Enraged by the alert, Tier quickly flew towards the Black Tower.
