proverb.

(3) “Hey, you say you’re protecting me? … … Are you old?”

"Ummm." Swordsman nodded his head vigorously.

“Don’t think that it will be difficult to protect someone because of this person’s age.”

“No, not me.

You're not even...

… ." Well.

If you look at the beautifully outlined trapezius muscles that are peeking through the collar of your shirt just by nodding your head, I wonder if your physical age is acting as a measure for this person.

"Don't be embarrassed.

Didn't you say it yourself? Only if your life is alive, neither the Black Dragon Lord nor the others will return to the old Gacha class." “Gaechaban? Who is that? Ah, by any chance, are you referring to an old man who slashed with a knife saying that he killed a murderer once in ten days? Also, the list of people who this old woman killed and killed and the circumstances of the incident are kept in a secret safe that only me can enter.

"I'm glad my list is still small enough to fit in the safe.

Black Dragon Lord.

Your list is so long that you'll have to rent an entire building." "I wrote it down on a USB stick, not on paper! I'm afraid someone isn't old!" It's really bad between you guys...

"Oh!" I wonder if the sound of the two of them fighting could be heard from far away.

I was exclaiming exclamations behind my back as to when the heretical inquisitor had suddenly approached.

Well, perhaps, it was transferred immediately by using [Holy Magical - Transmission].

"The swordsman and the second four kings in the ranks of the top four kings.

The two seem to be maintaining a peaceful relationship, but the residents of the tower are interested in how it will end.

They're bodyguards! This is news." The Inquisitor smiled and nodded, nodded and moved.

As usual, the Inquisitor had an angelic face, but until recently, the Inquisitor was being rinsed by children of the Sanwa tribe.

The phlegm was transferred to the Inquisitor, thanks to which the Inquisitor now nodded his face and mucus was dripping from his face.

…." “Ahaha! If the swordsman becomes the bodyguard of the four kings, everyone will know! Which of the two has the upper hand!”

Iron Duck! The Inquisitor spread his arms and smiled broadly.

The body fluids of the children he had kept in his arms, a slime similar to aloe unique to the Sanwa people, was fired like bullets all at once.

Naturally, the victim was me, right in front of the Inquisitor.

"......." It's an attack that will make your skin look better.

“It was the right time for the power of the Four Kings to come to the fore.

Taking [the number one rank as a bodyguard] as a symbolic event, let’s explode!”

"Yes? What are you hitting?”

I asked while slowly evaporating the mucus around my body.

“Of course, the fact is that the Four Kings have gained unprecedented power in this tower!”

"......." "The Four Kings are already heroes of the Tower, but the image of a warrior is strong.

This is the part where the black dragon's image making shines! But now it is necessary to have the image of a monarch or leader as well.

haha For example, I would say that I am the king of the tower.”

“No, I am not.

Why? … ." "Because it is the truth.

My lord." The heretic interrogator smiled broadly.

"......." I looked around in a strange sense.

For some time, the Black Dragon Lord and the swordsman stopped arguing and looked at this side.

Quietly.

Looking back once more , Esdel and other members of our family, as well as the Count drinking tea with the fairies from afar.

The Paladin was swimming with the mermaids.

Even the two of them made eye contact with me.

"......." Uh What is this atmosphere? "Gongja Kim, this old rogue old man told you before." Anastasia opened her lips as my surroundings fell into an unfamiliar silence, "I was testing you." "......." "It may sound disappointing to say this, but you're not the only one who tested you.

I.

And all of us.

I've been observing you all the time." I heard a similar story one day: I kept watching to see if I was qualified to be their [colleague], but I'd have passed the test already...

Why...

"Do I really deserve to be our [leader]?" "......." "I have a friend like you.

I'm glad that you are my companion.

Good luck.

But we can't just take misfortune as a mere accident or good fortune as mere joy.

.”

“We are leading the people.”

Jabak, the sound of wet footsteps rang out.

It was a paladin.

The paladin was standing on a wide rock.

His whole body was soaked because he had enjoyed swimming with the Sagi clan.

The paladin grabbed the moisture from his hair once and pulled it out.

Drops of water dripped onto the rock where we were gathered.

"There are 13 middle-level guilds, including the Pension City, under its control.

Although not officially disclosed, there are actually 4 guilds that are just like direct subordinates.

There are hundreds of guilds that work under our subcontracts, and then again, there are subcontracted guilds.

If you follow the subcontract, you are able to cover all the city of Babylon.”

"......." "It's easy to be our business partner.

It's hard to be our colleague.

It's even harder to be our friend.

You've done the hard work." "therefore." The black dragon took over, and my gaze shifted to her, and I said, "I thought maybe [a more difficult task] was possible." “I expected it.”

The Paladin was again told, "The reason we maintained the five major guilds after the great purge is not for any other reason.

It is to check each other out.

Almost everyone who lives in the tower belongs to a guild, that is, [members of a guild].

] becomes.”

"Let the five major guilds, each with equal strength and expertise, cooperate and compete with each other.

In addition, let's protect the personal, property, and safety of those who belong to the guild." "Which guild to join, to leave, to rejoin, it all depends on the freedom of the residents.

A guild that does not earn money will naturally decline, and a guild that does not share money will naturally disappear." “Based on that thought, we created the tower system.”

“In other words.”

“I was not confident on my own.”

The paladin said softly, “I am confident that I will not be corrupted.”

“……”

“If I had been given enough power to subdue the Black Dragon, I would have been happy to put him in prison.

The shops, shops, information stores, and everything they run on the borderline between legal and illegal must have been punished by defining them as cancerous masses of the tower.

During the execution, I wasn't sure if I was going to keep myself.”

“I have scenarios in which to assassinate all the hunters from the 1st to the 10th ranks, respectively.”

said Black Dragon.

“After the Great Purge, I haven’t tried it yet.”

"......." "If the Black Dragon was not the 5th guild but the 1st and only 1st guild, I wonder if it would have been put into practice.

No matter how strong you think of yourself as a person with strong self-control, that self-control comes from the existence of others.”

meow.

A cat cry was heard from Val Ville.

He had a cat's body and cat's eyes, but his eyes were not a beast, but a tricolor cat.

“You know, we didn't trust each other that much.

But the reason we didn't get to the point where we started civil war is because we don't believe in ourselves too much." "Yes." said the swordsman.

"After all, we only wear a single mask to look human." “……”

“The King.

You have been tested.”

exam.

What test are you talking about? Since when? “There have been quite a few occasions where we got together and talked about you while you were away.”

“When… … .”

“Before the Great Library of All Things is cleared and you go to the 30th floor.

I did some background research on you, your usual spending habits, the people you meet, and the attitude you show when you meet strangers.

Almost We researched and shared everything.”

Investigating intelligence is my specialty,”

said Heilong-Ju calmly.

“Isn’t that… an invasion of privacy?”

"Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry for infringing.

Ah, I'm really the worst human being to go after a colleague.

Vice-leader of the vigilante group? I committed a crime of behind-the-scenes investigation, will you arrest me?" “Well, I declare my innocence.”

"Hey, what do you think? Gongja Kim.

I'm not guilty.

I'll just move on to being sorry." "......." Gua A-yeon.

Obviously, my colleagues and friends were guild leaders who wield unparalleled power in the tower...

"Don't worry.

“I feel like I just listed contradictory words…?”

"I also confirmed that you are keeping a diary to show to Duke Ivancia every night.

I'm so glad the contents of the diary are not in my hands.

“Hello? Anastasia? Are you crazy? Are you spinning?”

“Ah, but the very first sentence is the same every day, so I came to know.

My dear….”

"Let's cut school!! Bring back the friendship memorandum! Now!" “…Anyway, the bottom line is that you are a person of integrity.”

The Paladin smiled bitterly: "But it's not enough just to be the same on the front and back.

If we make you a leader, there are certain qualities a leader needs.

Inspiring us as a human being is only a secondary matter." “I’m not trying to question political power.”

The three-colored cat hung on the paladin's calf as if it were familiar.

Then the paladin accepted the cat with both arms, and in the paladin's arms, the earl cat said, "It is best to leave politics to the experts.

Security is the paladin, internal affairs are the Black Dragon Lord, For the economy, if you need shoulders from time to time, it's enough to rely on a viper.

For diplomacy with the outside world, it is enough to summon a swordsman to make it work.

I'm an old man who doesn't even listen to anything.

Won't you lean on it?" “……”

“So, there is only one final test we have to test.”

The cat's eyes narrowed, and the Count smiled, "I was looking for examples of how you would rule people if you ascended to the position of leader.

Excuse me." When I received the quest from the Princess], I thought to myself, aha.”

From the 31st floor to the 40th floor.

“Can I use this?”

Stages that become gods and guide a race.

"I didn't write the exam questions right now.

Manshin Jeonju.

It was purely her own heart that that child had been running around for over 200 years." "Ahaha." The heretical interrogator smiled brightly.

"Yes! I'm hearing this for the first time now!" “Well, not only you, but the Master of Heaven and Earth, didn’t fit in with my story.”

said the Count.

“But as a result, the sudden action of pantheism gave me a lot of inspiration.

In a desperate time when all races have been enslaved, I have been able to watch you rally us all to start a rebellion together.”

The cat gently stroked the paladin's cheek with the back of his hand.

“In short, you had the temperament of a revolutionary.

Revolutionary! Not bad.

I don't hate it either.

But the leader I need is not a revolutionary, but a ruler of the tower.

Countless number of displaced people who have fled from many countries.

A leader who will stably comfort the inhabitants of the Tower, who hate each other, despise, look down on, and ridicule each other.

I needed a little more information.

chamberlain… … ." said the Count.

"How will you deal with [a race] that has come under your rule?" “…if it’s a different race.”

“Are you referring to the designated tribe?”

I thought for a moment, but when I saw the count’s smile, I changed my mind.

"That's the correct answer.

Four Kings.

I like that you are quick-witted." "......" I opened my eyes wide.

The earl looked at me like that and let out a cat cry.

“The Inquisitor was eliminated first.

Then you dropped out.

When [The Princess Who Walks the Mirage] announced that I was eliminated, I can remember your absurd expression on your face.”

"......." then.

“Come on, wait! Nonsense! Why are you saying I am being eliminated!?”

“Ugh, the fairies have given up their supremacy.”

Obviously.

In the video shown by the princess, the fairy tribe elders whispered, "Let's surrender.

You can't win by fighting, and you can't win anything.

There is nothing to be gained by pouring money into it, and nothing to be gained from it.

No matter what you do, the bottom line is business.”

“I dedicate my country to the designated people and become a subordinate state.

Instead, I ask for protection.”

“Yes.

I will surrender.”

“It’s just a matter of becoming a vassal state.”

“Thank you.

Great cat.”

It must have been.

You must have thought that the Earl had just created a funny thing.

"......" I opened my mouth.

“… … Were you intentionally dropping out?”

“To be precise, it must be said that he induced the elimination.”

“The children of the fairies surrendered themselves to the designated people,”

“Yes, but who raised and raised those children? Who was worshiped as a god by those children?" "......." "Through dreams, prophesying a little, giving a little hint, and giving a little instruction, children simply obey.

It’s not much different from the way they attacked the stage.”

If you think about it, the Fairy tribe was behind the military funding for the multi-racial alliance.

It was also the Count who I had discussed with Uburka before I met him at that time.

The Count advised [Negotiate in a way that is beneficial to all races], and I followed the Count's advice and entered Uburka's dream.

From start to finish? If it was the Earl's big picture that the fairies surrendered to the designated tribes without any battles or wars, bloodless.

“Why would you do that… … ." "Didn't you say.

To test you." The count said, "The rule is that you can easily be persecuted just because you are from another country.

How much less, other races have come under your control.

Uh-huh.

They have different appearances, different habits, and even have different gods.

Is there any way not to discriminate against them?”

"......." "I was wondering.

You are leading the designated people well, it's up to you to do what you're doing.

In addition, the races that have left their hometowns like us will also be able to rule without any problems.

Those are the qualities our leaders need.”

I was silent.

I lifted my gaze a little and looked at the paladin's face.

The paladin's expression as he held the tricolor cat was calm.

"Patricia." The person who was eliminated after the Count.

A person naturally incorporated into the family.

"Um." The paladin nodded.

"Yes.

Gongja Kim.

I intentionally abstained." “……”

“To get to know the person you are.”

I realized why the designated tribes were able to conquer the continent with so little blood.274.
