Chapter 1282 – [An Eventful Summer]

The middle layer of this tower seems to be used for grazing various animals and plants. Is it a plant facility? Judging by its size, it seemed like it could feed a significant number of people.

But… The scale of this safe zone was more than that. It’s probably built separately later, but if you think about it, it’s difficult to supply food to everyone in this safe zone.

Then there is nothing you can do In the first place, while creating this floating city district, there must have been a dependent population, but no matter how you think about it, this safe zone would have exceeded that number.

Then there will be people who can’t supply it. That’s unavoidable.

“The view is nice~!”

“This is the best view in this safe zone. You can see the city at a glance.”

The view outside the window was very nice. No matter how much a steel structure is attached to a place, it is a wonderful law when viewed from above.

Why is Daldongne also cool when viewed from a high place? Even if you don’t know the situation of the people who live in the moon village.

After admiring the scenery, I followed Yang Xianlong to the top floor of the Tower.

The lower floors are occupied by clan members or clan members affiliated with the sawfish clan, and the middle floors are plant facilities. And the upper floors are probably the residences of the high-ranking people.

The luxurious atmosphere that was not felt in the lower and middle floors stands out. Of course, even so, it felt like a motel in the 21st century, but in this era, that alone was enough.

“I’ll show you to a separate room. I’ll invite you to dinner later, so please rest in peace first.”

“Thanks!!!!”

Haha, no big deal, Eden Sozer”

Still, I think I can get some good treatment and rest. It’s not an inn that smells like fish, but it’s a neat private room.

“They say they give each person a room, so you can relax. I’m going to sleep quietly for the first time in a while.”

“I think I’ll sleep loudly with your dad”

“Oh, Dad and Ruri say this and that!!!!!”

“If Eden says that to you, Dad, you can’t do it!!!!!”

“Honestly, I’m envious.”

“Mary, don’t put in a choo-im-sae too!!!!”

I’ll do it, but I’ll get angry if you make noise with it for no reason!!!!

Anyway, after being guided to our room for a while and packing up our belongings… Time passed and around evening, as promised, we were invited to dinner.

Of course, it wasn’t just dinner. First of all, Yang Xianlong’s father and the clan leader of the sawfish clan that ruled this place attended the event.

“What’s for dinner here?”

“Well, I think it’s better not to expect anything too delicious.”

“As the times are like this, no matter how powerful people are, there is no way they can eat better food than before the Great War.

“Still, in this era, it’s a good thing. You’ve seen people who can’t eat that and starve to death.”

Afterwards, the dinner table I was invited to was a pretty fancy place, as if it had been used as a restaurant before.

Hagisa A tall building like this has a nice view, but it’s useful. If you think about the facility itself, it seems that it was also a hotel or similar high-class accommodation facility. I can’t find it, so I don’t know the details.

The restaurant has a glass window on one side, so you can see the city view, and on the other side, there is an aquarium where you can see swimming fish.

There are some incredibly huge fish among them, which is quite a sight to see. Looking at the interior, it seems like a lot of money was spent.

“Nice to meet you. I am Jinrong Yang, the leader of the sawfish clan.”

“Nice to meet you, Daein”

When I hugged him and greeted him, his eyes widened as if he was quite surprised.

“Oh, it must be quite an old custom. Where did you learn that?”

“There are things you learn when you walk around. It’s the first time I’ve come here, but it’s not like there aren’t places like it, so I learned there.”

Haha, you’re young, but you seem to have a lot of experience.”

“I’m not younger than I thought. I also have a daughter.”

Aging hasn’t come, so he’s just maintaining his youthful appearance, but even at the age of the other side of the earth, he’s a father with a child in middle school.

No matter how well you do it, you are in your late 30s, and if it is too late, you will be in your 50s sooner or later. I wonder if it’s okay to think of it as roughly 40 years old. He seemed to be trying to look down because he was young, so he quietly spoke.

I won’t tell you exactly how old he is, but looking at Eden’s appearance, it wasn’t bad to mistakenly think that he was young. At least she looks about the same age over there, so I wouldn’t bother asking about being older.

“I heard from Xianlong, I heard that the guards were rude.”

“As you can see, this happens a lot because my daughter is so incompetent. In a world like this, there are many people who believe that they can do anything with power.”

“The logic of power isn’t the most common thing in this world. It’s just that you don’t know that there are things you can’t do with power alone.”

Let’s stop the small talk and get to the point.

We are the victims in this case. Of course I made them idiots, but that’s self-defence. It was the other side who tried to attack Eden while threatening him with a speargun first.

But if you say that you did a bit of self-defense, I will change everything. I’m really curious about which one to choose.

“I’ve done an investigation into this situation. I don’t have any evidence yet, but I’ve heard stories from local residents and other clan members that there are a lot of problems.”

“It is said that gourds that leak inside also leak outside.

“First of all, I want to apologize for what my subordinates did.

I don’t lower my head or do that, but at the point of apologizing, I can see it to some extent. Originally, the ones at the top have heavy heads, so they don’t bend down easily.

Moreover, even if it is the superior who is responsible for the faults of his subordinates, he is not responsible for the crimes as well as the faults. That’s what they did, so he shouldn’t be held responsible.

“No, there is no need for the great man to apologize. I just want punishment for them.”

“In that case, how about we talk after dinner?”

“Hmm”

Let’s do it after a meal. Apparently, if you do it before a meal, you’ll lose your appetite.

It’s not that they don’t punish them, but rather, it was okay to treat them to the point of losing their appetite. OK, once passed. I don’t have to worry about all these guys getting smashed.

Soon, dinner begins. Unlike eating only seafood on the boat, meat is also served.

“Looks like it came from the West, so I prepared it that way. I hope you have a good meal.”

“Thank you for caring, Daein”

Actually, it’s not a test, it’s a test. Because the cutlery set on the table was several forks and knives.

People who don’t know will not know why there are so many tableware. Moreover, in this world, table manners like that would have been forgotten by most people due to survival, so there must be many more people who don’t know about it.

He sees us as part of a large clan from elsewhere. He could not disregard this test, for he had no intention of correcting it, since the illusion was what made our position.

Fortunately, no one in our party is ignorant of table manners. When it comes to cooking, it’s natural for me to be quick-witted, and Eden taught me that well.

Mary, she must have learned while traveling around different dimensions… My only concern was Ruri, but she did surprisingly well. Did you learn from Ruri Ruri Network?

“It tastes better because I haven’t eaten in a long time.”

Hehe, there are plenty of them, so eat a lot.”

“I’m sorry to be treated like this… We should come up with something too.”

Knowing that the other person was a decent human being, I secretly brought out fairy tears. Actually, I brought it here to sell, but it’s okay to take out a bottle for tasting.

Moreover, the opponent will try to pay fairly rather than take away. It is not a waste to sample a bottle of alcohol for someone who will buy it several times more expensive.

“It’s a good drink. If you don’t mind, have a drink.”

“Hmm, maybe it’s a legacy from before the Great War?”

“Yes, if you taste it, you’ll know it’s worth it.”

After a while, he said Pong and unstopped the bottle. Then, a rich, rich fruity scent unique to fairy tears began to spread.

It smells like inhaling a fruit shop or walking through an orchard where many fruits are grown. Moreover, the sake poured into the glass is a beautiful sky blue. I haven’t even drunk it yet, but it’s already pleasing to the nose and eyes.

“Oh, this is…”

“Actually, I brought it to sell, but it would be worth it if it was to serve to a large person. How about toasting everyone with this?”

“I think I met you today”

Yang Jinrong also drank while savoring whether he liked the fairy tears. If you were in that position, you would have doubts whether you were poisoned or not, but it seems quite fascinating to see you drinking without a test.

Enjoy such a delicious meal and drink…… The night is coming.

After the sun went down, most of the lights in the city were turned off and only a few buildings were illuminated. This is because solar power is used to generate power at night and only consumes power, so we had to save it as much as possible.

However, the building remains the same. Power is needed to run the plant, but the restaurant’s lights are not going out.

That’s how extravagant it is. In a post-apocalyptic world, resources are precious, yet extravagant people indulge in extravagance.

This disparity is absurd and amusing. Of course, there was such a gap even before the destruction, but the minimum line is different.

“It must be a legacy from before the Great War, but such a rich and rich sweetness…… It seems to have been well preserved.”

“Thanks to you, it’s a valuable item.”

“I want to buy it personally. If you were going to sell it, I would have a price in mind. How much do you think?”

“The most I received was about 5,000 gold coins per bottle.”

“Five thousand gold coins?”

In fact, I only sold it once, and I sold it for 2,000, but the opponent is the clan leader of a large clan that is bigger than the Sunfish Clan. It’s better to call it loud because it’s going to be used differently.

The more expensive you sell it, the better. It’s good to have a lot of travel expenses.

“I know it’s expensive for the price of a simple drink. But this drink has amazing effects.”

“What is it?”

“It’s good for health. One example is that if a bald person drinks it, they’ll grow hair right away.”

“……Is that true?”

He put on a look of disbelief.

Perhaps, even though the technology here is more advanced than the 21st century Earth, there seems to be no cure for baldness. No, even if there was, he became the president. Anyway, even if you don’t treat baldness, you won’t die.

But it is true that fairy tears are good for your health. Even if you drink a lot, you don’t have to worry about diabetes compared to sweetness, and it makes your body healthy.

“It’s hard to believe unless you see it for yourself. Can I try it?”

“It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling. You can try it as much as you like.”

“Thank you”

Soon he called a few people to test it out. Of course, thanks to that, I ended up using half a bottle of fairy tears for testing, but it wasn’t a waste at all. Anyway, if the other side buys it expensively, it’s profitable.

Most of the people who were summoned were bald… Oh, this sounds pretty good. Anyway, about three or four were completely bald and one had circular baldness.

And when they drank the fairy tears, the expected reaction came. Gray hairs began to grow on their shiny heads.

“Huh?! Uhhhhh?!”

“Mmm, my hair is growing!!!! It’s growing!!!!!”

“How can this happen!!!!!”

How many people are bald because they want to be bald? When they were freed from the punishment of being bald, they shouted in joy.

After checking the evidence, Yang Jinrong looked back at me with serious eyes.

“It was a fool to doubt something like that. As an apology, I’ll buy everything I have for 8,000 gold coins.”

“We have about 3 bottles, but we will sell them all to adults.”

“I won’t take all of them in gold, but please let me know later what you will receive in gold and what you will receive in bills. I will pay you whatever you want.”

3 bottles for 8,000 gold coins. A total of 24,000 gold coins.

If you only consider the price of gold, how much would it be on the other side of the earth… It would probably be considerable. This is why it is best to sell luxuries to those who have them.

After a good deal, dinner was also finished. I did a good job with the story, so what’s left is the adult story.

“Guys, would you like to go in first and rest?

“Then I’ll be playing with Ruri and Mary unnie!!! Come later!!!”

“Yes, yes”

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you look at Mary or Ruri, but Eden is a bit different, but she spends them together because she doesn’t want to spend them alone. Eden is also quick to notice her, so she doesn’t really refuse and she goes back to the room together.

Eventually, only Yang Jin-rong and I were left. Drinking little by little from the remaining fairy tears, they talk bloody stories.

“I apologize again. I’m in a high seat, so I can’t see the ones at the bottom very well.”

“It can’t be helped. Don’t worry about it.”

“Those who stood guard took advantage of their position to take bribes or coerce women. There were also cases where they killed people and threw them into the sea to destroy evidence.”

“They are uglier than expected.”

“It’s fortunate that we were caught today before they became even more corrupt. On the other hand, thank you for giving us a chance to knock them out.”

We looked at the aquarium on the wall of the restaurant.

Lots of fish roaming around. I wonder if this is a place to put fish used for cooking, but it’s too big to say that, and it’s almost at an ornamental level. But despite this, surprisingly, there are carnivorous fish such as sharks, but they roam side by side with other fish.

Well, sharks aren’t that savage by nature, but it’s a bit strange to have so many different types of fish in one aquarium and be peaceful. Despite being there for quite a while, none of them ate other fish.

Is it because you’re full? Yes, it could be. But I don’t think so.

“As you wish, I will punish them. Would you like to see for yourself?”

“It’s good that you finished your meal.”

“I guess you already noticed. If so, you’d better take it easy.”

Before long, someone threw something on top of the aquarium.

That was a person The guards I made idiots by smashing their limbs one by one. I live in a place where the world is the sea, so I can swim, but I can’t swim until I’m an asshole.

And a lot of fish started running towards them. The guys who had been swimming leisurely until earlier even though there were fish that were good to eat next to them rushed at the guards.

-Aaaaa!!!!!

-Kkeuuuuu!!!!!

You can hear their screams transmitted through the thick glass walls of the aquarium. It’s a dying horse before dying, but that’s what it sounds like.

Air bubbles coming out of the screams of those who come up. And blood. Dismembered limbs. They start being eaten alive like that.

“Looks like they have a taste for human meat.”

“If we’re going to make it with the same fish food anyway, it’s better to give it to the fish we raise than to those of the sea. Moreover, the city is so big that there are many criminals, so there’s no shortage of food for them.”

That’s why it was fine even though there were predators and prey together. People who have a taste for human meat don’t even look at other meat.

With a smile on my face, I watched the fish being eaten alive. It’s a pretty disgusting sight for others to see, but I really like it. Because it’s the end of those who tried to bully our Eden.

In addition to that, making it with fish rice is a bit different, but I kept it. I like it.

Soon after, dozens of adult males were all devoured almost without a trace. The water was a little dirty from the blood, but it didn’t take long for it to fade because the aquarium was so large.

There are some leftover flesh and other things… But the small fish in the aquarium will take care of that as well. There will be nothing left now.

“Do you like punishment?”

“I like it very much”
