174 Stories: The Path Around the Heavenly Tower

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm here. Give me a break already."

"Hey, hey, look, look, Servis, he's apologizing for the great momentum. I've never seen anyone move their head up and down so quickly."

"No, don't do it, cult! You don't have too many delicacies!

Merea came down from the second floor of the inn for a few minutes.

White thunder wrapped around its body. No, the battle quickly followed.

"I wonder why I'm still alive..."

Looking up to heaven with pale faces is a young man tangled up in Mariza.

He began to pray to be thankful that he was now alive, having been somewhat blurred with distant eyes.

"Too much," Melea says to herself as she scratches her blonde hair next door.

"I guess I shouldn't have used the procedure..."

A short distance away Marisa in a dress looked at Melea with a tranced look, but the person at the time did not realize that.

"Looks like I need some time to let this kid sort out his mind, so let's take a break -?

Flip a large, full-breasted costume and Mira suggests.

"Right. You promise you can get information out of him when I win?

"Right. This is my idea, but I think this kid's got some pretty good information."

"Ha ha, Mira is a good hit."

Merea laughed a little fun and looked at Mira.

"Well, leave this one for now -"

Then Melea shifted her gaze to Mariza, who stood to hide behind Mira, giving her a happy grin.

"Mariza, I wore a dress."

"What!? Oh, yes"

(c) Mariza, who returned to me all the time, lay her eyes down unusually shy and took another step, hiding back behind Mira.

The way she is ashamed of herself is like a bully girl.

"You look great. It's not like the usual maid costumes are bad, but I figured Mariza could be a painting wearing a dress like that."

"Huh!"

Melea says this time with a gentle smile.

"You're not of a good nature because this is what you say naturally and vegan!," Servis added in a small way behind him.

"Kirie, Kirie, if you do too much, this kid's gonna have to make time to get his mind sorted out, too, so I'm not making that much for him. 'Cause it suffocates."

"Hmm?"

Merea just put her little neck on Mira's words, but for now, she answered "OK" and put the spot away.

"Well."

That's how Melea looks at the youth again.

"I wonder what you heard from"

I've only been in this academic city for a few days.

Merea had a pile to ask.

◆ ◆ ◆

"The second day tower city of Elderio, the seventh nobleman in the sequence, commonly known as the" Tower Keeper ", the three sons of the Count Neon family," Viscount Entemail-Gra-Neon "- is your name? It's been a long time."

"Heavenly Tower City is deeply rooted in aristocratic culture and has many titles..."

"Ente, can I call you?

"That's what people close to call it. Do that."

The young man tangled up in Marisa at the tavern - Ente said.

"Bye, Ente. First, tell me what you know about the current western continent."

First, Merea and the others entered the inn and lined up their chairs at the ground floor entrance, which had been liberated as a place for guests to interact.

I thought it would always be a bad idea to call him "he," Melea hears the youth's name first.

He should have given his name under a pseudonym according to the customs of Aios if it were meant to be, but after he had finished praying, did he also have a fear of Merea, rather revealing his identity from himself?

"The information I know may be a little out of date."

"I don't mind. We have some previous knowledge, too, but that's basically what we heard on a remote land, another continent. Maybe even worse than what Ente knows."

"Are you still from another continent? As per, I felt the atmosphere was somewhat heterogeneous."

"Well, that's not the only heterogeneous reason. Anyway, there's a lot going on."

Melea answered as she sat shallow in the chair, placing one elbow on a chic built round table.

"Now, from the basic situation of the western continent"

"Yeah."

And Ente speaks out.

"First of all, my home country, the Second Day Tower City of Elderio, is currently a very empty country. Because sovereignty lies almost in another urban state"

"Huh?"

Melea somehow anticipated the reason as she curled her eyes with interest.

"Was it also a war?

"Yeah, you're right. But it's a very secret war."

Ente answers with a slight frown.

"The unique" Heavenly Tower City "on the western continent feels like a cultural city born of an ancient stretch of will, and has developed in a way that competes for" Tower Height "for a long time since ancient times"

"Tower height…"

"That's right. Really, that's all the basics. But that tower, which has just penetrated heaven, has been developed by a combination of different technologies. Gold making trading techniques for collecting each raw material and material for building, crushing and surgical techniques. Many of the cultural activities that accompany it have developed to develop the tower."

"I see. Interesting way to develop."

Merea grinned innocently like a child by way of example.

"But the construction of the tower, which has been going on for far too long since ancient times, has stagnated rapidly from one period to another"

"Ugh."

"Finally, the mineral resources of the Western continent have begun to run out."

Ente lays her eyes down sadly.

"I really liked that tower stacked high, so I feel pretty sorry for it."

"I'm not sympathetic, but I might have felt that way if I was in the same position"

As Merea nodded, Ente loosened her cheeks a little happy.

"Minerals don't mean anything at all, either. The higher the tower, the more detailed adjustments will be required, and distortion (hizu) will occur somewhere where the material is appropriate in the first place. So besides the development of different surgical techniques, we have also developed creative formulas that produce minerals."

"I see."

"The stone god was also said to have been born in the land because of the terroir of the western continent."

"Ahhh, I might have said that"

"Huh?"

"No, this way."

Merea said, blurring and looking at the universe, then waved "nothing" at Ente, who shakes her neck.

"That's what happened, and the mineral creative ceremony was important, but some time ago, the descendants of the Demon King, who inherited the name of the Stone King, arrived and rapidly developed the tower of the First Day Tower City of Coulouse."

As soon as the words were spun out of Ente's mouth, the "Demon Kings" who were on the spot simultaneously hardened their expressions.

Ente changes their atmosphere a little, but soon Melea prompted him to "go on," so he begins to talk ahead.

"That prompted the first war between the First Day Tower City of Coulouse and the Third Day Tower City of Karaza. It's a secret war, not too public."

"Karaza asked for the power of the" Stone King "of Coulouse?

"That's the place. Karaza's resources were almost exhausted. But I think that Coulouse and Karaza were competing for first place at the height of the tower, which is the ultimate reason for the war. And the next thing I know, the fact that the Stone King was a magician from Karaza is probably one of the reasons why things got easier."

"Heh. I wonder why that" Stone King "wasn't on the Karaza side of his hometown."

"I don't know that."

Ente said with a surprised look.

"Anyway, from around there, wars under the water have been enlivened between each heavenly tower city. It's the same everywhere that resources were beginning to deplete, and I think we asked other cities for technologies that we didn't have because they each had their own distinctive characteristics in the way they developed when it came to technology. In the past, with the same goal of building towers, the Heavenly Tower urban group has been responsible for the development of culture throughout the western continent in a healthy way, but now it is full of clutter."

That's sad.

"Right."

Ente nodded with a weak smile.

"I'm, well, I've been prodigal in academic cities for years because I don't like all that kind of glitch, but lately, I might have been a little self-inflicted. Well, thanks to the audacity that that self-abandonment brings, we've got a lot of connections."

"I like your face."

"You say quite a bit, Mr. Killier"

Finally, Ente's got used to Melea, too, and now he said it seemed a little fun.

"So, then again, other city states have come to intervene in wars between Heavenly Tower cities. The castle city group is a good example. They were on the same western continent, a slightly different type of nation from our Heavenly Tower urban group, but in their case, I think the current tide of warfare suited them in that they used physical strife as their main battlefield."

"Hmm."

"Then the cities on the outer edge of the southern continent, the cities on the outer edge of the northern continent, and the forces of other continents close to the western continent joined together to make a lot of noise."

"It's a common story. The battle provokes the battle"

"Yeah, and the biggest piece of information I've purchased lately..."

And Ente said.

The name of the country that Merea is used to hearing about.

"Finally, the champion of the eastern continent, the Mooseg Kingdom, has intervened in the western continent."
