Chapter 981 – 981. Map of Ascension to Gwangmyeong
“I am a learned general serving Master Seo Woo Shin. People call me Snow White. I am currently in charge of the management of the Manmu Tower, and I have decided to take charge of the trials on the first floor of the Manmu Tower.”
Xu You Xinjiang (西牛神將) is one of the Four Great Goddesses of the Qin Empire. As the name suggests, Seo Woo Sinjang is a general in charge of the west. For reference, the chief of the four great gods is one of the most powerful people in the empire.
“It’s tough and… The ordeal on the first floor is 1 Nyang of gold. Pay me 1 nyang of gold today before the sun goes down. Then I’ll send you up to the second floor.”
1 nyang of gold is never small. The average commoner’s monthly income is about 5 nyang of silver. Calculated simply, 1 nyang of gold is the income of a commoner for 2 years.
And most of the warriors who visit Manmu Tower are ronin. There is a lot of perception that rongin is basically poor. Actually it is. When Nangin earns money, he spends it right away rather than collecting it. He does not know when he will die, so he dies while spending money without regret. That was the mind of the ronin.
Therefore, it was only natural that original voices popping up here and there.
“If you want to enter the Tower of Manmu, pay? When did the tower of ten thousand things start revealing money?!”
“We came to break through the ordeal of the Tower of Manmu with our skills! I didn’t spend money!”
“As far as I know, I heard that the last ordeal on the first floor of the Tower of Manmu was unarmed! But why this year? This ten thousand towers is my last chance!”
It became noisy like the Dottegi market. The learner looked around him once and stamped his foot. Bang! The loud sound became threatening and spread in all directions. The ronins who felt threatened shut their mouths.
“Money represents value. The most reasonable criterion of value is money. A soldier who does not earn even a single gold coin is not worth being a third-class fighter. It doesn’t matter which way. Whether you borrow money, steal money, or sell what you own, make 1 nyang of gold. Prove your minimal worth.”
“… Saying it doesn’t matter either way. Are you serious?”
“But don’t touch civilians. If you touch the citizens of Manmusi, I will execute you. I’ll cut off his head and put it on display in Manmusi Plaza.”
“…….”
The words of the learner were bloody. And he had the strength to do so.
At that time, a group of people approached the front of the learner. The total number exceeded 50. The clothes they are wearing are unified, and they stand as if escorting the young man in the center.
“My name is Ojimura, the owner of the three temple gates. I’ll give you 55 gold here. May I go up to the second floor of Manmu Tower?”
Bae Bae handed the pouch containing the golden ruler to his subordinate. The subordinate counted Geumja and reported to Baeon.
“… Pass Go in.”
“May I ask what the ordeal on the second floor of Manmu Tower is?”
“You will find out when you go up to the second floor. And you will receive a reward for passing the ordeal on the first floor.”
“It’s a reward… A reward less than 1 nyang of gold, right? I don’t even expect much.”
“You talk a lot. Do you want to go against my heart that much?”
“Sorry. I didn’t know the subject.”
Ojimu immediately lowered his tail. He knows full well that there is no benefit to him in fighting the officials of the Tower of Manmu.
Then, Ojimu and the gatekeepers of Samjeolmun walked slowly into Manmu Tower. Then one person, a middle-aged unmanned man, bumped his face against an invisible wall. He couldn’t get into the tower.
“Breast, barrier? What is this all of a sudden?!”
“You are over 50 years old.”
“No! I am 49 years old this year!”
“You must be wrong. This barrier cannot be crossed if you are over 50 years old.”
“I am 49 years old!”
“Don’t bother and get out. I will not forgive any further disturbance.”
“Then, please give me back at least one piece of gold.”
“Why should I? Money already paid for me go away.”
“Ahhh….”
The warrior bowed his head and stepped back.
I looked back after watching the series of processes. All the members of Cheol-O-Dan were rummaging through their pockets.
“Yujin. Money is enough. The last time I beat the Heukjiryeon was worthwhile.”
Sung Ji-gon held up one nyang of gold and said. And the eyes of the other ronin people around him changed. A sharp momentum was felt here and there, and the ronin rushed at Sung Ji-gon all at once. Can steal money The learned general said so.
“Where?”
Seong Ji-gon jumped into the air as if he hadn’t even thought about it.
“Jump into the sky? You were so excited to die! Fool!”
The ronin’s weapons point upward. Seong Ji-gon pulled out the sword from his waist. He swung his sword in a big circle. Catch up. The swords aiming at Seongjigon bounced off. Sung Ji-gon swung his sword once more as he landed on the floor. This time, the bodies of the ronins were cut and blood fountains spurted out.
The ronin hesitated and distanced themselves from Seong Ji-gon. They realized that they were not their opponents.
‘That’s stupid. Seong Ji-gon’s realm is now the place to come. He’s not something that idiots can handle.’
There are a lot of guys around here who haven’t even reached the 5th rank, let alone the state of procreation.
“Shit. That guy is real.”
“Aim for another guy!”
The rongins started beating each other. Cheol-oh-dan united with Jin Goo-eon at the center and stopped the attacking ronin.
‘Everyone who fights recklessly to steal money is from there.’
Skill and wealth are proportional. The higher your skills, the better you make money. Those with real skills already have about 1 nyang of gold.
“Yujin. How will we do it. Do you want to go straight to the Manmu Tower?”
“No. The deadline for the first floor is until sunset. There is no need to rush in. Let’s go eat Food may not be served inside, so take a look at emergency food.”
I saw a group of people enter the Manmu Tower with loads of luggage. This is because once you enter the Tower of Manmu, you cannot come out unless you give up.
‘I have an inventory… There is no food to feed Cheol-o-dan.’
The members of Cheol-Odan trust me. I haven’t touched the iron rod for the past two months. Rather, he took care of it. They robbed bandits and distributed the money jointly.
‘And you know my skills. You’re gonna try to fuck me If these guys pass the ordeal, they’ll receive the elixir… Let’s kill and steal.’
Then you can get more elixirs.
What a wonderful plan. Admiration comes from the plan you made yourself.
We ate, packed our supplies, and walked in front of Manmu Tower. It was quiet in front of Manmu Tower. No one was fighting, but it was full of corpses. Blood was constantly flowing on the floor, and corpses were strewn about in the corners. All naked Crows and vultures were excited and pecked at the corpse.
“Even if I can’t do it, 30,000 would have been lost.”
“Wow… It’s no joke.”
I turned my head to the side. At least the clean space was occupied by a merchant.
“Buy! Buy stuff!”
Taking money isn’t the only way to get it.
Of course, we already had enough money, so we walked past the vendors and climbed the Tower of Manmu.
The learned general sat still with a blunt face. I handed 1 nyang of gold to his subordinate.
“Pass.”
Said his subordinate.
The learner’s eyes moved and looked at me. But the eyes went back to normal. Subsequently, Seongji Gon and the members each handed 1 nyang of gold to his men.
“Pass.”
We were able to enter the Manmu Tower.
Is it because the barrier is installed? As soon as I entered, I felt the air itself change. It was chilly yet frustrating.
A soldier inside the first floor saw us and pointed to the right.
“The stairs to the second floor are over there. Oh, before that, get your reward here.”
“What is the reward?”
I asked the soldier. The soldiers could not be treated carelessly. This soldier is also a member, but his skills are similar to Sung Ji-gon.
“Here is the list. Magic skills are supported from the 7th floor onwards.”
I checked the scrollheheld out. The martial arts and elixirs provided on the first floor were all third-class garbage.
The martial arts were so serious that even the ronin shook their heads. There was only an elixir to choose from here.
‘5 years Ha Suo, 3 years Hwanggi…. Well, these are only herbs that contain as much Reiki as the size of your little finger.’
They were herbs that were not worthy of being called elixirs. If you want to find it, you can easily get it for about 50 nyang of silver. It’s not that there’s no effect at all, but it doesn’t have a big effect on martial arts enhancement.
When everyone sighed in disappointment, the soldier spoke as if he had been waiting.
“The grounds and barriers of Manmu Tower are special. You can see more effect if you take Yeongcho in Manmu Tower. The site of Manmu Tower is comparable to that of the spiritual mountain known to the world. So, if you have chosen the elixir, I recommend taking it right away.”
“As expected, the Tower of Manmu. Great.”
I said sullenly. It was something I knew roughly while researching the Manmu Tower. Even if the effect is good, 10%? I know it’s not even that much.
‘Still, it’s better than no effect at all.’
Jilgeongjilgung.
5 years ago, I put Shouo in my mouth and chewed it.
‘The Cheon Kang-seong system is worse than the young plants given every week…. Occasionally, Hundred Years Occasion comes out…. Under. I won’t even send a message with this.’
There is no need to put herbs like this in the sword of light ascension. It’s just a waste of time. It is more helpful to reinforce it by adding other spirit plants.
I chewed on some herbs and went up to the second floor.
Puck! Puffer Puck! Puck!
As soon as I went up to the second floor, the sound of explosions echoed here and there. I quietly looked around. Many people were beating the scarecrow. Many of them wielded swords, but miraculously, the scarecrow was not cut.
A soldier approaches us.
“The second floor ordeal is scarecrow destruction. If you destroy the scarecrow, you will be rewarded with passing the ordeal and you can go up to the third floor.”
“Is there no time limit?”
“Until the hourglass over there goes down.”
The soldier pointed to one side of the wall. There was a huge hourglass.
‘Is that about three days of spare time?’
We each stood in front of a scarecrow. I punched the scarecrow.
Fuck!
The scarecrow shook slightly.
‘Even if you hit with less strength, you hit with enough force to knock out a person, but all it shakes? He’s no ordinary scarecrow.’
A scarecrow made of a special material, or a magic trick. It will be one of the two I thought it was the latter. If it’s a special material, I won’t make a scarecrow.
Dismissal.
Lightning flashed between thumb and index finger. I burned the scarecrow with lightning. Fire. The flames were about to rise, but they picked up and went out.
‘Expedients are not allowed. Does that mean?’
I clenched my fists and hit the scarecrow several times harder than before. The scarecrow shook violently and cracked the surface. The crack repaired itself.
‘If you put it in a game style, you have to deal more than a certain amount of damage.’
Having roughly grasped it, I became bored.
I put a lot of energy into my fist and threw my upper at the scarecrow.
Wow!
The sound was different. The scarecrow was uprooted and stuck to the ceiling and did not fall. The eyes around me are focused on me.
“What are you looking at, fuckers.”
He clenched his fists and growled. They quickly turned their heads and started beating the scarecrow.
I turned my gaze to the side and checked Sung Ji-gon. I’m not worried about Sung Ji-gon. If so, he would easily pass the second-floor ordeal.
Seong Ji-gon glared at the scarecrow and raised both of his fists.
“Whoa….”
Sacred land Gon let out a low breath and burrowed into the scarecrow’s arms and punched him.
Papa papa papa papa!
Punches nonstop The scarecrow’s body cracked. Even before the rift could be repaired, the fist exploded, and the scarecrow began to break apart.
Sung Ji-gon stopped just before the scarecrow was completely broken.
“Yujin. This is pretty funny I think it will be a training. Can I play here for a bit?”
“Do it in moderation.”
Sung Ji-gon is certain to pass. There is no problem with Jin Goo-eon, who has similar skills. However, it seems that general members will take some time.
‘If I can’t do this, I’ll just throw it away.’
