Five years have passed since I was away. There is also the Mine investigation problem, and I want to go over the members I haven't met before, looking at each other face-to-face.

The first person to come up to the ninth floor was Samia.

"...I don't feel good about the job of a hunter for me."

She seemed to have hurt her a lot by this. She thought that her return to Tanzania was a major trigger for her to go astray.

"Were you usually close with Na Dae-yong Hunter?"

She gave an ambiguous reaction.

She said, "I often hung out with the female members of the 4th floor team, but I, as a substitute hunter, was a little burdensome."

“…haha, it was a little over-tensioned.”

The calm Samia and Na Dae-yong overdoing it.

The two men were water and oil by nature.

“Then who were you closest to in the tower?”

“I often hung out with Hunter Cha Do-yeon and Hunter So Sim-hee.”

I heard the stories of her other members from Samia. It wasn't the final blow, but clues are piling up.

It is a different method from the first mine investigation. It is funny that I ask others about my death, and it seems difficult to expect honest answers as in the case of Jin-Ra and Jeong Seo-Jin.

"Okay then, I'll stop with the question here and move on to the serious talk. I would like Sami Agama to stay in the tower, but... her thoughts are the most important. Will she return to Tanzania?"

She closed her eyes. She was silent for a while, as if lost in thought.

"I became the commander of the East African Front."

"I know."

"My desire to remain in the tower is sincere. I still have regrets about the unfinished warp part. But that doesn't mean I can't completely turn my back on my country."

I knew you would talk like that. I put the pods on.

"It's the same for me. I have a personal attachment to Tanzania, the first overseas dispatch site, and I value the African front as a member of the World Guild. If Samia remains as the 5th floor manager, Matop will spare no effort to support the country of its fellows . It becomes a formal partnership."

Samia's eyes widened.

"Can I really do that?"

"There is no law that says that one must choose one or the other. However, Samia's resolve is important because she has to perform both heavy duties."

"If neither side can be missed, I think that's the part I have to bear."

She lit up her eyes.

"You always lose money. Kim Yoo-shin Hunter."

"I'm the one who owes you."

Samia is again confirmed as the manager of the 5th floor.

She decided to stay in the tower.

Her teleport ability is very rare, and among them, those who are proficient in warp formulas are even rarer.

She is virtually irreplaceable. Even for Nemesis, she was forced to sit down at any cost.

And the next person called… … .

"Hello! Representative!"

Kim Sarang

Although she is indoors, she wears fashion sunglasses, and is dressed in a Hawaiian shirt with a hint of My Way and a blue skirt.

In one hand he is holding a franchise coffee.

"It's been a while. Sarang."

I smiled and continued.

"I couldn't talk properly yesterday because I was crazy. How have you been?"

"It's the best! I'm proud to say I'm enjoying the heyday of my life!"

A hunter belonging to the global guild Crow, certified 3rd grade Kim Sa-rang.

Although Crow belongs to the UK, nationality is not important due to the nature of the global guild. Her place of dispatch was in Florida, USA.

First of all, I asked her about her substitute for me.

She said, "I was a good person and had a strong desire to win, but I was a good person. In the old days, yo."

She took a deep breath and folded her arms.

"It's a bit weird to say things like this while kicking the tower because of him... but it's strange."

"What?"

"Didn't you ever think that people were so badly broken in such a short time?"

She shrugged her shoulders and spoke to her.

"Ah well, everyone has changed little by little over the past 5 years. But Na Dae-yong has become so kind that people are confused. Of course, it is true that there was an obsession with the CEO, feelings of inferiority, and stress, but even so, people became obsessive It's strange to change."

I nodded.

"That's a question well worth raising."

"So that's what I thought at first."

She said as she raised her index finger with her stiff face.

“Actually, Dae-yong Na might have become a demon?”

“……”

For a moment, her heart pounded. I nodded my head calmly, taking care of my expression as much as possible.

"Continue."

"So, when you think of cases where such an extreme change in psychological state occurs in modern times, 'Minhwa' is the first thing that comes to mind! I've done research on this and that."

Yes, I once thought so too.

Until I saw him die.

"But, Dae-yong... he didn't turn into a demon at the last moment. In the end, it was all just my delusion."

This is a point that makes me think deeply.

Anyway, the question was over and moved on to the business issue.

"Sarang is currently working at Crow."

"Yep!"

"To be honest, I want Sarang to return to the tower."

I said as I tapped the table.

"If you come back, I'll gladly give you a floor."

It's all about giving her her managerial qualifications. An unconventional proposal that not only powers but also has LV10 characteristics, making the player salivating.

But even though she threw the manager's rice cakes, her reaction was bittersweet.

"If you want to recruit me, there's something more important than that."

"What?"

She made her coin shape with her right hand.

"Money! We're negotiating our salary!"

… … Oh.

"After all, money is the best thing in the world! If you can give me more than my salary from Crow, I'll think about it!"

I smiled and scratched my eyebrows.

You weren't like that in the first place, were you?

Where is Kim Sa-rang, who was so moved and burst out crying when she showed her Fire Cannon once during the license period... … .

"Hehe, it's been a while since we've reunited, are you being too honest?"

"No. It's good to be honest. Hunter isn't a philanthropist, and salary is important."

She lowered her eyelids.

"I felt a lot of things five years ago. In my 20s, I thought that our horse tower would last forever. I thought a happy life would continue. But it was not. The world, friends, and the tower have all changed."

“……”

"But the money doesn't change!"

Her eyes twinkled as if she had ever done it. like ding! It makes a sound and appears to have dollar signs in its eyes.

"I'm in love with money! Money doesn't change, it's always satisfying, and it's with me forever! It's just because I really don't need it all and money is the best? Kyahahahaha!"

"haha……"

Anyway, salary negotiations were held.

I offered her twice her annual salary from her guardian. There are no talented people, but the money is plentiful enough to rot.

"Take double and go to the penalty payment!"

"...isn't that what I'm going to say?"

Anyway, Kim Sa-rang also succeeded in standing up a donbal and pressing it on the horse tower.

She said she didn't mind the manager of any floor, but she said she still preferred the fourth floor, where she had worked before.

She said, 'I think this will fill the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors somehow.'

The current status of the current floor of the tower is as follows.

1st floor: Potion Crafting Shop / [Potion Crafting Shop: Jin-Ra]

2nd floor: Daeseojae / [Secretary: Jeong Seo-jin]

3rd floor: Golem Workshop / [Senior Engineer: Eunsol]

4th floor: Meteorological Design Bureau / [Director of Design Bureau: None] - Please give your title.

5th floor: Dimension Hall / [Dimension Keeper: Samia]

6th Floor: Mana Mine / [Mine Manager: None] - Please give a position.

7th floor: Sorcery Workshop / [Magic Engineer: None] - Please give the position.

8th floor: ???

9th floor: Master's room / [Master: Kim Yoo-shin]

In the days of Na Dae-yong, only the first and fourth floors were actually operated, but after I returned, Jeong Seo-jin, Eun-sol, and Sam-ah decided to return to the managers.

What remains now are the 4th and 6th floors, and the 7th floor that was opened this time.

'If Sa-rang Kim, Sim-hee So, and Cho Yong-hee can share it?'

Once you've returned to the tower, the most important thing is to fill all the floors with managers.

The manpower is sufficient for the existing magic tower wizards and arcanes, so once a manager is selected, all floors can be rolled properly.

"Ah."

As soon as I called, EA appeared from the air.

"Please guide me to the 7th floor."

"Yes sir."

“And whoever goes with you…”

I pondered for a moment and said.

"Would you like to ask So Sim-hee to come up?"

* * *

I am in front of the stairs to the 7th floor.

Indeed, whether the ordeal clearing in the conscious world was properly applied, the magic of the dimension that should have blocked the way to the next floor had disappeared.

"Dude, representative!"

And So Sim-hee was running up the stairs in a hurry. It's not like the metamorphosis I've seen often, but it seems like it's been a while since I've seen her original appearance.

She had her hair up to her shoulders and dyed her blonde hair. However, as if it has been a long time since she hadn't dyed her roots, her top of her head is dark.

Overall, it looks fresher than it was 5 years ago, um... … I don't know how to express it, but the atmosphere has changed strangely.

"Forgive me for being late!"

"I'm sorry for calling you suddenly. Shall we go up together?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Where?"

"The first 7th floor tour. I want to be with So Shim-hee."

"Wow, it's an honor!"

So we went up to the 7th floor together.

"Oh oh!"

"Wow!"

I used to be very surprised when I first entered any floor, but this was also the case with the 7th floor 'Magic Workshop'.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

The first thing you see is a huge tree growing in a flowerpot in the center of the room. The trees stretched to the ceiling, and were full of green and purple leaves.

If you look around other places, there are many things you can often see in a laboratory. In particular, the appearance of the large test tubes lined up on the wall was even dismal. Some test tubes contained parts of an unknown body part.

"Welcome to the 7th floor magic workshop."

EA started explaining.

The Magic Workshop is a place to study 'magic science', which is often called the engineering of the magical world, and it is said that it is divided into two parts.

Artifacts.

bioengineering.

"Are artifacts like magic items? What is bionics?"

EA pointed to herself with a smile.

"Uh, maybe...?"

"Yes. It refers to research related to various magical creatures, including homunculus."

This is where EA was made! I looked around, feeling more intrigued.

Various documents and research materials were stored in the cabinet, and there were things like the Periodic Table of the Elements written in Erendel on the walls.

'… … It is difficult.'

There are many theories and principles that cannot be understood by magical knowledge alone. This was the realm of experts.

"How are you? So Shim-hee."

As she was rummaging through her enchantment research files on her bookshelf, she answered with an embarrassed smile.

"Ha, I don't know anything."

She sneaks a peek and she tells her she was going to take over the manager of the 7th floor... … this won't work

In the past, there were many floors that could produce visible results like potions, golems, and warps, but this 7th floor magic workshop was different.

It was a layer specialized in 'research'. It seemed like it would take some time to really pay off.

'Is this floor crap? … '

It was a little disappointing in that 6 months from now is Nemesis. As I looked around, I noticed an unusually large tree.

"Ah. What kind of tree is this?"

I think I've seen it a few times in Daeseojae's book.

"It is the tree of life. It is also called the World Tree."

Ea explained the tree of life.

It existed in the pre-Erendel world, and was the source of support for an entire planet. From this tree life was born, food grew, and huge ecosystems were formed.

But the planet also did not escape disaster. The planet was devastated, and the surviving members of the Magic Tower took a part of the Tree of Life and succeeded in cultivating it in the Tower.

Now, this tree of life has become an indispensable treasure in the magic department.

"It is the highest value item in the Horse Tower."

"How much is it worth?"

Ea shrugged her shoulders.

"If you dare to convert the value of a modern relic, it would be about an SSSSS-class relic."

… … what?
