seventy fifth ground of the tower.
Workplace of the Chairman of the Wandering Service provider Affiliation, Mason, a fox tribe member.

The heads of the three main powers that affect all flooring of the tower have gathered.
“It’s been 5 days for the reason that Crimson Locusts appeared on the 67th ground of the tower. In line with our data, two-thirds of the 67th ground has been devastated by the Crimson Locusts. At present, the lizardmen are desperately defending across the waypoint.”
Mason relayed the knowledge he had gathered.
“Why isn’t the Nice Black Dragon intervening?”
Iona requested with a apprehensive voice.
“Truthfully, I don’t know. However we will’t simply wait like this. This might result in one other famine like 100 years in the past.”
The nice famine of 100 years in the past began when the Crimson Locusts invaded the fifty fifth ground of the tower, the best grain-producing space within the tower.
There had been invasions by the Crimson Locusts earlier than, however the Nice Black Dragon all the time intervened, so the inhabitants of the tower didn’t see it as a major downside.
Nonetheless…
For some cause, the Nice Black Dragon appeared just a few hours after the invasion of the Crimson Locusts that point.
Consequently, the rabbit kingdom, Crimson Ribbon, that dominated the fifty fifth ground, perished. They had been unfortunate because the Crimson Locusts appeared above their kingdom. This brought on a extreme meals scarcity all through the tower.
“That’s proper. It’s solely a matter of time earlier than the waypoint will get overrun. If the Crimson Locusts occupy the waypoint on the 67th ground of the tower like this, they’ll quickly begin shifting to the higher flooring.”
Hannibal strongly agreed with Mason’s assertion.
If the Crimson Locusts take over the waypoint on the 68th ground of the tower, the following would be the 69th ground.
And on the 69th ground of the tower was a big drake farm owned by the dominion of the lizardmen. That place was one of many 5 main grain-producing areas of the tower. This was not only a downside for the lizardmen.
As meals provides lower, so does the circulation of meals, main to cost will increase, and those that can’t afford meals starve to dying or flip into thieves.
The general order of the tower collapses. That they had already skilled it as soon as, in order that they knew very properly how extreme the injury could be.
“The Wandering Service provider Affiliation will present supplies equal to one million tower cash in army bills.”
“The Freelance Mercenary Alliance will dispatch ten thousand mercenaries.”
“The Wizard’s Affiliation will ship 2 hundred conflict mages.”
Thus, reinforcements set off to cease the Crimson Locusts on the 67th ground of the tower.

And in between, they positioned bricks and lined them fully with bricks. The primary layer of bricks on the backside was an area for making hearth. Sejun made an ondol (Korean ground heating system) in the home.

‘Dad doesn’t even think about me…I need to shrink and go into the home too…’
As Cuengi was feeling unhappy,
Swoosh.
Cuengi’s want got here true and his physique began to shrink.

Cuengi checked out his shrinking physique.
After which,
Kuung!
Cuengi, who was excited, ran in the direction of Sejun and threw himself. Dad, I’ve shrunk!

If the leeks hadn’t absorbed the shock, he would have been thrown a lot farther.
Thud. Thud.
Sejun, who appeared to have momentarily visited the afterlife, opened his eyes feeling a bit faint.

“Honey Bear?”
Cuengi had developed right into a Honey Bear.
“Can’t you develop again once more?”
Sejun requested anxiously. He had a hunch that if Cuengi couldn’t develop again, he may get scolded by the mom Crimson Large Bear, who may ask what he had carried out to her youngster. Might it result in his dying?
Kooeng!
Cuengi shook his head and returned to his authentic dimension. No, he grew to 5m, turning into greater than earlier than.
Cuengi had unconsciously shrunk as a result of he wished to stick with Sejun and wished to develop into smaller.
“Wow!”
Sejun marveled at Cuengi who might freely alter his dimension.

At Sejun’s phrases, they responded energetically and ran off joyfully. The place are they going?
Sejun meant that Black Rabbit ought to keep watch over Cuengi, however they took it as permission to play collectively.
So, after assigning the black rabbit to observe Cuengi, Sejun went right down to the cave to organize lunch.
In the present day’s menu was spicy stir-fried squid. When Sejun went right down to the cave, there have been already 30 squids, caught and cleaned by the black rabbit, ready within the pond. As all the time, the black rabbit was dependable.
Swish, swish.
Sejun minimize the squid into bite-size items.
And when he heated the pot and put within the final piece of eel fats,
Ssssss.
The fats melted, turning into oil and releasing a savory odor.
