: GRANDSON, GO STUDY ABROAD
TL: Hanguk
Just a moment.
Sejun answered Kellions call and
Click.
Kking?
He picked up Fenrir, who was happily munching on dried sweet potatoes, and held him in his arms.
He did this because Fenrir might take off his armor while Sejun wasnt around.
As Sejun took Fenrir outside,
-Euheuheuheu. Did our Sejun come out?
Kellion spoke to Sejun with a voice filled with adoration.
-Our Sejun?!
Kaiser, who was nearby, reacted sensitively to Kellions words.
However,
-Euheuheuheu. Why get angry? Our Kaiser.
Kellion, excited about discovering the power of light, was happy no matter what Kaiser said.
-What?! Our Kaiser?! Are you crazy?!
As Kaiser became even angrier at Kellions words,
Kellion~nim, why did you call me?
Sejun hurriedly stepped in. A fight here could put Fenrir in danger.
Because as a sunfish, Sejun understood the difficulties of a sunfish more than anyone else.
-Ah. The reason I called you, Sejun Sejun, sell me that flowers seed!
Kellion pointed to a spot and said.
A flower?
When Sejun looked where Kellion was pointing, he saw a fully grown Sunflower and a Daebong persimmon tree.
Ah. I had that.
He had completely forgotten about the other crops he had sprinkled with the Harvest Elixir and went to make pizza.
I should go check it out.
As Sejun was about to move,
-Lets hurry!
Grab.
Ah?!
Kellion, in a hurry, personally lifted Sejun and flew to where the Sunflower was,
Thud.
and they arrived in front of the Sunflower in an instant.
-Hurry and harvest it!
Yes.
Swoosh.
Upon Kellions urging, Sejun plucked one of the densely packed Sunflower seeds from within the flower,
[You have obtained a Sunflower Seed.]
[Your job experience points have slightly increased.]
[Your Proficiency of Seed Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You need to use the Seed Harvesting skill 746,159 more times to complete the job quest.]
Messages appeared.
Although breaking the flower would allow harvesting all seeds at once, Sejun didnt do it to complete his job quest.
Please check this first.
-Euheuheuheu. Thank you!
When Sejun handed the harvested seed to Kellion,
[You have achieved the accomplishment of creating a new variety in the Tower.]
..
.
[Due to job trait all stats increase by 10.]
The message for the new variety achievement appeared next.
Ah?! This was a new variety? As expected, Vice Chairman Theo, good job!
Sejun was delighted by the unexpected message and praised Theo, who had brought the Sunflower seed.
Then,
Puhuhut. I know, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, always do well, meow!
Theo, naturally feeling proud, puffed out his chest.
However,
Kking?! Kking?!
What?! I consumed all its energy and spat this out, why is there a power of light coming from here?!
Fenrir, held in Sejuns arms, was startled to see the Sunflower seed and flower Sejun was holding.
What have I done?
He had gone into the Black Tower to find the black fruit but ended up helping to find the power of light
And it was the power of light, of all things. The power with the highest resistance to the power of destruction.
In the past, it was troublesome to face the white dragons who possessed the power of light because they would take hits and other dragons would struggle to attack them.
And they lost
If the other Apostles of Destruction learned of this, it would be an unparalleled disgrace.
Kking
Im Fenrir, the First Seat of the Apostles of Destruction to think I helped the dragon bastards
Fenrirs ears and tail drooped in despair.
At that moment,
Chairman Park, Blackie also helped with finding the seed, meow! Blackie brought the seed, meow!
Hearing Fenrirs sad cries, Theo started to speak. Puhuhut. Got it, meow, Blackie!
Thinking that Fenrir wanted to be recognized for his contribution in finding the Sunflower seed,
Thanks to that, everyone present learned about what Fenrir had done.
Blackie did well too.
Upon hearing Theos words, Sejun took out dried sweet potatoes as a reward for Fenrir.
Kking!
Its food!
Fenrirs mood instantly changed.
Perk up.
Fenrirs ears stood up straight, and
Swoosh. Swoosh
his tail wagged uncontrollably.
Forgetting his previous worries, Fenrir focused solely on the food in front of him.
Predators dont get distracted while hunting. Indeed, his noble wolf-like concentration was admirable.
Here you go.
Nibble. Nibble. Nibble.
Kkihiihii. Its food!
While Fenrir was focused on deliciously eating the dried sweet potatoes,
-You brought the Sunflower seed! Then, I must give you two a great reward.
Kellion intended to reward the two.
Puhuhut. Kellion~nim, what will you give, meow?!
-Ill specially grant you both the surname Mamebe.
Meow?! No way, meow! Im a Park, meow!
My name is Theo Park. Theo, who had received Sejuns surname, refused Kellions offer,
-Khahahaha.
Kaiser, who had already been refused by Theo before, looked at Kellion and laughed in good spirits.
-Krum Really?!
Kellion felt awkward at Theos words.
-Then Ill give you my skin.
After some thought, Kellion decided to give his skin,
Good, meow!
-Done.
As soon as Theo consented, they exchanged for Kellions skin. And Fenrir as well.
Thanks to that, Fenrir was gradually drifting away from being an Apostle of Destruction.
Swoosh. Swoosh.
While Theo and Fenrir received their rewards, Sejun began to harvest the Sunflower seeds in earnest.
***
White Tower Administrator Area.
Grandfather, did you call me?
Ajax appeared in response to Kellions call.
Yes. Come here.
Kellion called Ajax over with a serious expression.
Um Grandfather, whats wrong?
Noticing Kellions unusual atmosphere, Ajax approached hesitantly.
Look at this.
Kellion handed a Sunflower seed to Ajax.
What is this? I can feel the power of light from it.
Its called a Sunflower seed.
Ah But did you call me here just for this?
Ajax, born after the white dragons lost the power of light,
was puzzled as to why Kellion was showing this to him.
To Ajax, the Sunflower seed was merely a fascinating seed that contained the power of light.
Oh dear
Kellion sighed while looking at Ajax.
Can I entrust such an important matter of our race to him? owns this.
Kellions expression became complicated as he looked at Ajax.
There was a reason for Kellions behavior, related to the nature of the Sunflower seed.
Even with this much power, eating hundreds of thousands of them wont restore our former strength.
Initially, Kellion was disappointed by the very small amount of light power contained in the Sunflower seed.
However, upon examining the Sunflower seed, he discovered another way to obtain more light power than by eating the seed.
That was by planting the Sunflower.
The Sunflower had a nature similar to how the Darkflower attracts curses; it draws the power of light to its surroundings.
Therefore, Kellion planned to grow a large amount of Sunflowers in the White Tower to gather the light power accumulated around them.
If a lot of light power gathers, the white dragons can absorb the power of light just by breathing in its vicinity.
And naturally, the task of planting the Sunflowers fell to Ajax, the Tower Farmer.
Ah Why is he so serious today? Cant I just leave?
While Ajax was inwardly grumbling at the sight of Kellions serious expression,
Grandson, go study abroad.
Kellion made a decision and spoke with a firm voice.
Me?! Study abroad?
Yes. Go to the Black Tower and learn proper farming from Sejun!
What?!
Although Ajax had become Sejuns slave, he had been living comfortably without seeing Sejuns face.
I will get Sejuns permission.
What?!
Please refuse! Ajax prayed desperately for Sejun to refuse upon hearing Kellions words.
***
Done.
Sejun harvested about 3,000 seeds from the Sunflower.
Click.
He picked up a seed and examined it closely.
[Sunflower Seed]
A seed from a Sunflower grown within the Tower, its delicious having absorbed ample nutrients.
Cultivated by the Tower Farmer familiar with farming, its taste and efficiency have improved.
It absorbs and stores light, allowing it to grow even in places without light.
As it grows, it attracts the power of light to its surroundings. (The more Sunflowers grow, the stronger their ability to attract the power of light becomes.)
Consuming it stores a very small amount of the power of light in the body. (Having the power of light increases resistance against malevolent forces.)
Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun
Shelf Life: 150 days
Grade: A
The power of light?
Whats that? Sejun wondered when
-That is a power once bestowed upon us white dragons by the Creator God, but it was lost.
Kellion, who had been quiet while Sejun harvested the Sunflower seeds, answered.
Lost power? Ah So thats why,
Sejun finally understood why Kellion had reacted so strongly earlier.
Then
-Sejun, would it be alright to grow Sunflowers in the White Tower?
Kellion asked.
In the White Tower? Yes, go ahead. But you know, right?
-Euheuheuheu. Of course, of course. Ill bring all the harvested seeds to you.
Kellion, knowing what Sejun wanted, readily agreed.
And
-Um So, about that The Sunflowers in the White Tower should be grown by Ajax
Kellion cautiously started the conversation.
Yes, thats right.
-But as you know Ajaxs farming skills are lacking
Yes, thats right?
Sejun felt something was off when
-So, I was thinking of sending Ajax here Would that be okay?
Kellion mentioned sending Ajax to the Black Tower.
What?! Ajax?! That wont do.
Sejun refused Kellions suggestion. What if it kills our Blackie?
Just Ajaxs presence and the exposure to his aura could endanger Fenrir.
Furthermore, exposure to Ajaxs aura could also kill the crops.
And
It would be hard for me too.
Its not that he wouldnt pass out like before, but it wasnt easy either.
In the past, he had to swallow his pride and confess his weakness, but now, he could just blame it on Fenrir.
Kkurorong.
Thus, Fenrir, treated as the weakest without knowing, fell asleep in Sejuns arms.
Hehehe. Thank you, Blackie.
Sejun looked at Fenrir with affection when
-Dont worry about it. I will seal Ajaxs power.
Kellion answered. He had already considered this when planning to send Ajax abroad.
A seal?
-Yes. With the power of this statue.
One might wonder if sending a statue would work, but Ajax was too weak to move the statue.
Well If its that level of power, its fine.
-Just wait a moment.
Thus, the White Dragon statue paused for a moment.
Shortly after,
-Now, call Ajax.
Kellion, having sealed Ajaxs power, came back and said,
Yes. Summoning Ajax.
Sejun summoned Ajax.
[Summoning Tower Farmer Ajax Mamebe of the White Tower.]
After the message appeared, about 10 seconds passed,
I dont wanna go!
A cute white dragon the size of Cuengi appeared in front of Sejun, lying on the ground in a tantrum.
But
Ajax, wake up.
This wasnt the White Tower that indulged Ajaxs whims.
Hehehe. Finally, I can make proper use of Ajax.
There was only Tower Farmer Park Sejun, who simply thought of exploiting Ajax.
And
Puhuhut. Slave, get up quickly, meow!
And there was Theo Park, Sejuns faithful right-hand.
Kueng?!
[Who is this guy, dad?!]
And Cuengi on his left arm too.
