Episode 71: To the White Tower of Trials

From Trading City Rankt, take the streets by carriage for half a day.

As much as I wonder if it's some kind of joke, a giant cylindrical building that shines white reveals its beauty in front of sight.

Above the giant tower is a tower that is so tall, cloudy and hard to see.

On a stuffy hill, shaped like an unmade piercing of ivory, who built a tower like this?

"Lord Takel, that's the White Tower of Trials."

"It's so big..., and it's kind of a tourist destination around here"

Around the White Tower, there was a fence around, making it a lush park. Soldiers from the Duchy of Rankt patrol everywhere and are well managed.

Besides us, there were plenty of people, not adventurers, but all tourists.

This White Tower Park is also the best spot in the Principality to visit and enjoy the White Tower of Trials from a safe location.

I heard it was an untapped Great Labyrinth that hasn't been explored to the top floor, but obviously when I see a tourist with kids on a sightseeing amusement mountain saying, "Okay Dad, I'm going to attack the 'White Tower of Trials' -" etc., it claps me out.

White tower cookies are quite flourishing with souvenir shops selling white tower goods, including white tower cakes, white porcelain with white towers, marbled crafts, and weird wood-carved surfaces that have nothing to do with the white tower.

"Master, if we do the stalls here, we're going to sell crepes"

It's Eliza, Melissa, who says that.

They are both former beggar slave girls who belong to and fight the Musketeers during the war, but their main business is the stalls of the crepes.

I think it would be interesting to have the Duchy of Rankt open our chamber of commerce and interact with the Duke of Emehardt in the economic war.

Doesn't that look like more fun than killing each other?

"When the war is over, I hope I can...... In the meantime, do you two want something to eat?"

It's a tourist attraction because of it.

I also decided to give the slave girls a little break here.

I wasn't that hungry, so I didn't eat, but I thought I'd buy something for future hostile visits and hope for 'White Tower Juice' at the store.

It was pleasant to drink on the palate, and fruit juice squeezed in white peaches.

"It's daisy... it's usually delicious, but it's subtle."

Fruit squeezed juice is a luxury in this world.

I wonder how rich the Duchy of Rankt is.

I say there are no delicious items in the specialty, but the cookies I tried and the cake were decently sweet and level, I can't help but sell this to fly.

I think as a lord of this world, I have great imagination, not only to manage dangerous dungeons properly, but also to turn them into tourist resources to make money.

"Well, I must admit that the Duke Emmehardt is also a good businessman"

Watching White Tower Park flourish, he said I was impressed with the Duke's governance.

From behind, my stalker called out.

"How amazing, our 'White Tower of Trials' is!

A blonde-eyed princess knight flips a cloak with a scarlet eagle crest on her burning flaming armor, making her royal.

You've heard me praise the Duke, and you look like a prick.

"Why are you so proud of me?"

"The White Tower, which our territory manages, is amazing, so you can be proud of me."

With a clear face this princess says so, it's not a joke or irony, she thinks so without a point of cloudiness.

I'm a little scared of his thought circuit, I don't think I should get too involved, but it's really not good.

"Hey, Eleonora. I don't know, how far are you going to follow us?"

"Huh, what are you... Huh? I just came to the White Tower because I want to! I'm not chasing after you!

Uzza...... Even though it's not a tundra, the guy who says lines like a tundra is the most wussy.

Since this was banned from direct attack, it was said to have switched to mental attack, so it was a clever mouth shot (like this).

They stick with me all the time, and when I open my mouth, this is it, so there's jitter and damage in my spirit.

Of course, there's no way a princess knight can come up with such an advanced technique as this walking stand-alone knight, so vegan and being itself is just depressing.

Natural materials, in a sense, can be considered the most troublesome enemies.

I would like to pick it up as soon as possible.

It's generally not a battlefield, so I can't even get a ransom for beating it up.

Now, the value of his existence is negative through zero.

I could still forgive being stalked in the city of Rankt, but are you going to follow me from behind all the way through the 'White Tower of Trials' offense?

What kind of punishment game is that?

"Hey, didn't Mr. Cato ban you from seeing me?"

"Cato said if you don't get in the way of Silesier's brave men, you can get close or talk."

Hey, Mr. Cato.

It's in my way, but I need you to pick up this princess knight right away.

"Uh, shit. Enough, be my guest."

"This is my home territory, and I'm not gonna let you complain."

All the time, I keep a certain distance to follow you. Ignore, ignore.

If you don't get it in your sight, you're with me.

"Lord Takel, at last. It's safe outside, but inside the fence, it's a decent dungeon, so let's keep our heads up."

Have the protective fence gate open and advance the mercenary regiment under the tower.

Inside the fence is a dangerous zone full of monsters from the ground floor of the tower.

According to the gatekeeper, there are fewer adventurers coming from all over because the empire is at war, and the surroundings of the White Tower are also in turmoil.

But this one's carrying over five thousand mercenaries, so there's no danger or shit.

Soon, mercenaries ran around the White Tower to complete control, mounted many front carriages at the entrance, and put up a large base camp.

I don't know how many days it will take to attack, but this base camp will be a supply base and immediate combat command post.

Monsters defeated by mercenaries, of course, are not wasted and will be cooked deliciously by the staff later.

The periphery of the White Tower becomes a path stacked with old bricks and blocks of crumbling grey rock, turning its crumbling path into a polished marble twill floor as it reaches the entrance to the White Tower.

The periphery, which appears to be a crumbling ancient site, has been repaired for generations to come.

This huge 'White Tower of Trials' itself is made of scratchless polished marble and will not lose its brand new glow after hundreds of years of what protective magic is applied.

It is a luxurious, slippery marble when touched with your fingers.

This material is likely to please the aristocrats, such as the pink floors around the main gate with beautiful marble patterns.

With (how much would it cost if I cut this out and sold it), I calculate.

The Sado Chamber of Commerce also deals with stone materials, but the marble with beautiful skin texture is a luxury item among the stones.

With my sword of light, I might be able to break protective magic and sharpen it out.

If you take it easy and sell it off in the city of Rankt, it will make more money than attacking the dungeon properly.

"Lord Takel, it seems that the unsuccessful who tries to cut out and sell marble will be eliminated by the appearance of a powerful Guardian."

"Whoa, that's scary. They're taking precautions against burglary."

The teacher explains that the White Tower of Trials is the civilized heritage of the ancient superpower, the Holy Queen Liliera.

The huge white tower, which is said to be both a hundred and ninety-ninth floors high, is said to have been built by Queen Liliera, who was both a witch and an absolute power of Arthama, to inform the people of the glory of the Virgin of Creation.

At the entrance of the tower, a giant statue of the goddess of Arthama, with silver wings, is built.

I kind of feel like that face is looking at me jizzily, and it's creepy. I wonder if Arthama really had such an unfathomable face.

"Teacher, this statue of the goddess has a puffy face... don't you think it's very modern design?"

It's not so much scrupulous, but it has a kind of creepy vibe and sharp eyesight.

I wonder if the statue of the goddess is something prettier and more charitable.

Overall, he is in good shape, and his face is swollen and he looks like a turtle.

The moment you say such a bad word, you risk being attacked by a powerful Guardian, so you don't say it.

"I am told that no one knows the figure of Arthama, the Virgin of the Creation, so I modeled it on Queen Liliera, the witch of Arthama"

"Hmm."

The face of the Great Old Queen or the bad mouth of the manufacturer is also bad. Don't sneak up on God who doesn't touch you.

Anyway, he avoids direct criticism because he says he will inflict an unrelenting punishment on the traitor who tries to hurt the sacred White Tower.

That's the kind of punishment he gives, while he gives the brave men who beat the tower's trials a blessed metal Orihalcon weapon.

"Lord Takel, there was the Orihalcon armor and the Great Shield that Crown Prince Fried and his men used, wasn't there?"

"Uh, maybe Fried attacked here, too"

Up to the top floor, I heard it wasn't explored, but did it climb halfway?

"No, it was the father of the Golden Lion, His Majesty Conrad, now God of the Germanian Empire, who attacked him."

Old Emperor Conrad Germania Germanicus, the father of Fried, became a brave man by sinking The Misty Ambush Demon fifty years ago.

When the already busy old emperor was still a young hero, he stepped to the fifty-fourth floor of The White Tower of Trials after a long struggle to get Orihalcon's armor and shield.

"I see Fried is just using his equipment from his father."

"Well, that's the thing. As heir to the throne, it may be natural to inherit the legendary armor"

Use the Orihalcon gear you just inherited from your father.

I think Fried is a boy everywhere because he's laughing high, like he's "fuhahahahaha" in the illusion of that as his own power.

"When the previous trespassers reach the fifty-fourth floor, do you mean you have to go further?"

Looking up at the giant tower so close, the hundred floors at the top are endlessly far away.

Even in the Oracle Grand Cave, it was the 10th basement floor, and if it takes an army offense to get to the top floor, I don't know how much time I have.

"They say the mercenary regiment has a lot of veteran adventurers and some experience attacking this tower, so don't worry about guiding them. Let's start with the extermination of the miscellaneous fish monsters that live from the basement to the third floor."

"Right, let's start with the bottom prep."

In our case, it is more right to say cooking than exterminating monsters.

If you want to fill a long stretch of strategy, a stomach for as many as five thousand people, it's not enough to buy in in the city and store food full of carriages.

First of all, the war starts with food procurement. Near the entrance to the dungeon, there are many monsters that serve as a food source.

We are experts in monster meat cooking, thanks to Dr. Louise, a gastronomer (Challenger) born of Silesier who breaks down everything and tries it.

Living on the basement of this' White Tower of Trials' is a basic line-up with goblins, augs and oaks.

There were few goblin species and many orga and oak species. Pretty good as a food source.

It's a common miscellaneous fish monster, and the meatiest one is the green little goblin.

I often hear worried voices about how green meat is going to make me sick or poisonous, but that's not true.

If goblins can produce poison in the body, they are not miscellaneous fish.

The top species also have poisonous monsters, but not goblins.

It's just that goblin meat, no matter how much you look at the edible area, even stinks and is hard and bad.

From what I can see, it seems to be caused by low lipids and high muscle fibers due to the weakness and small body.

The same haunted monster aug has that tendency, and this one smells less meat, but it's still hard, so I have ideas for cooking.

It is arguably the right way to eat an ogre, either by hissing it into a hamburger or by simmering it carefully in a pan like Louise's.

If other monsters can be picked, a corpse of unsavory goblins should squeeze the fat for soap and then the meat should be either feed or fertilizer.

Of all the miscellaneous fish monsters, dantoz and delicious is still oak.

A good all-purpose athlete who boils well, bakes well, mixes with flour and eggs, fries them with bread flour and crunchy oil, even in tonkatsu.

Blah, the flavor is pork (pork) itself. Nice and soft flesh with teeth, the flavour of the lush gravy, the rich fragrance that runs through the nasal cavity.

Areas where fat is concerned get a refreshing texture when stabbed on a skewer and cooked while losing fat.

It's a bit of a maniac dish, but I think the gelatinous qualities of the pulls around the bones of the oak ankles make me the best.

Will there be enough pork? If I use spices and boil them softly, they seem to be full of collagen and good for beauty.

The smell of a burning barbecue with salted and peppered oak meat making a pleasant noise with juju just makes me want to have an appetite for it.

It is a pleasure after the battle with the monsters.

Duke Emehardt, a good merchant who turned the White Tower into a tourist destination, but leaving this abundant food resource alone is still sweet.

Under the command of the Commander of the Galan Mercenary Corps, the bodies of the monsters who have hunted are brought into one outdoor camp after another.

The bodies of the monsters are stream-workingly disintegrated into meat and skins by Louise's Dismantling Squad, and the skins are left to dry and taken to the city for sale, or processed to become leather goods, and the meat is converted into various foods by Colette's Cooking Squad for distribution to the mercenary regiment.

It's great to have no waste.

Make sure the work is in progress, and I'm leaving camp.

The camp's battle commander is in charge of Dr. Lyle, and there's no problem.

I'm me, and I have something to do while I'm getting ready.
