Chapter 12: Tower of Babel
Far North, further and further away. There was an endless tower that pierced through the sky and continuously towered upwards.
It was a magnificent tower that had stood for thousands of years. No one knows about the origin of the tower, but according to people, the tower has existed since the world was proclaimed.
A tower that is opened once every 1 year, The Tower Of Babel.
Yes, babylon tower. It is a tower that has been dubbed as the ultimate destination for adventurers and all races of the world.
Even the Strongest Race Angel, was also tied to that tower.
That's because no one knows what's at the end of the tower.
Some say that it is an endless tower, some say that if we reach the top floor of the tower. We will meet a God and be offered to become a God. And many other stories were made.
That was because until now, there had been no certainty about the person who had managed to reach the top of the tower.
Everyone who enters the tower never returns to the surface.
The reason why it was considered as the last destination for adventurers and all races in the world, was, because the tower of Babel itself has been considered as a cemetery that is certain for people who enter it.
Once you get into it, you can't go back. That sentence was a famous sentence for someone who was about to enter the babylon tower.
Therefore, before someone enters the tower of Babel, they will say goodbye first to their family or relatives because they know that they will not be able to return from there.
The tower of Babel is also known as the tower of death.
"so-yes? I see now, it looks like the tower is terrible huh.." Augustus.
"After hearing that, do you want to go in there adventurer master?" Asked the Elves in front of him.
In a horse-drawn carriage that was moving along the vast meadow, there was a man and an elven woman who were talking while sitting on the sofa inside the carriage.
The train itself costs 10 coins for a trip to the next destination city of Augustus.
Long story short after receiving the Elf as his partner, Augustus immediately decided to leave the inn and went straight to the next city.
That was because he had heard about many things from the Elf about the sale of good gear and locations where there were many high-level monsters suitable for farming.
The city that Augustus was to go to was Shakrun City. The city is famous for the sale of quality gear and has a variety of rarity. It even reached Legendary level.
The reason why Augustus chose to go buy gear first before leveling up, was because he wanted to fight a powerful monster all at once before leveling up.
Level 40 was also a sufficient level for him for now. It was not a level that was too low for a beginner like him, instead it was a fairly drastic level increase.
"M-maybe I will satisfy myself first in this world to the point of getting bored before going to that tower." Augustus.
"Hoooh really? well, it wasn't a bad decision anyway, after all it looks like you're definitely dead when you get in there." Reply Elf
"Then what about you? do you want to go in there?" Ask Augustus.
The elf turned his gaze to look towards the window of the carriage where there was a view of the vast green meadow.
"You know? I've been alive for 170 years, and I was really bored during that time. For some reason, as long as I live, I still have not had an experience that is memorable enough for me to remember for a lifetime. Even the memories that clung to me were mostly bitter and horrible memories." Elf Sayings
"So it must be hard for you to live that long and feel nothing."
"Yes that's...We are a race with a long life, many say that we can do anything with that age. But to me it's like delaying death by waiting a little longer."
"...."
The atmosphere became awkward after the conversation, but Augustus immediately asked the Elf in front of him when he remembered something important.
"Oh yeah, it's probably a little late but...do I know your name?" Ask Augustus.
The elf immediately turned his gaze from the jade back to Augustus.
"My name is Lina Grasswood. An Elf who had lived for 170 years. That you?"
"Jeremiah Augustus, a novice."
"Pftt, I somehow find it funny when I hear you say you're a rookie, ahahaha.."
"Yes-yes, I understand. But can I ask you something more? how much is your level?"
"Levelku's? ah, the last time I raised my level was when I rose to level 242." Lina.
August widened his eyes."Two queens...two hundred and forty-two?!" Shouted Augustus in surprise
"Why so surprised? some even reached level 300.."
"Ti.three hundred..." Once again Augustus widened his eyes after listening to Lina.
He thought "It seems like this is really unlimited." That's what he thinks.
"After all, I begged his help in front of him, Augustus." Elf Sayings
"Ak.I also.please get help.." Reply August.
After talking and the time had passed for up to 5 hours, Augustus and Lina finally reached the city of shakrun.
After from the train, Lina looked around the city of Shakrun with a nostalgic view.
"As usual, it's still rame..." Said Lina while looking around.
"It looks like this place is imprinting on your mind." Augustus.
"Well that's how it is..." Lina walked first towards the city gate leaving August behind her.
August followed immediately after paying his chariot driver.
"So? can you tell me about a place that sells good gear?" Ask Augustus.
"Ah, if not wrong you said you want to buy legendary gear right?" Lina ensured.
"That's right." Answer August.
"Therefore you shall follow the auction which shall be held in this city every night."
"Eh? an auction?"
"That's right, legendary gear including gear that is rare even in this place. Therefore in search of maximum profit, the merchants held an auction at night to determine the buyer."
"That's it. Well, it shouldn't matter if I have a lot of gold.."
"Yes, but be careful, because there are a bunch of thieves who like to roam around here. After all this is the town of merchants." Lina's
"I understand."
That way, Augustus and Lina looked for lodging to stay over while waiting for the night to arrive for the auction.
