Chapter 155
Seol's conversation with Frannan became rather long.
Through their conversation, Seol had learned more details.
"So you're saying that the search party... will likely be crossing kingdom lines?"
"Yeah, it probably will. Is this your first time crossing borders?"
"Yes, I've been in Nevenia since I was transferred to this world."
"Hmm... Well, that makes sense. I've heard that most transferees don't stray too far from where they were initially placed."
As Seol was forced to take on this Adventure, he had to extract as much information as possible.
"Then the current Tower Master of Libra..."
"Master Bornuil. You've at least heard of his name before, right?"
"Wouldn't it be strange if I, a transferee, knew the names of all 12 of Zodiac's Tower Masters?"
"A sound argument. To be honest, I don't remember them either. It's not like most Tower Masters hold that position for long anyway."
- Isn't that... a huge problem?
- What's the name of your company's CEO?
- Uh... Kim... something Kim...
"Why not?"
"Heavy workload, old age, research, and a variety of other reasons. Tower Masters hold a lot of responsibility, and it isn't easy."
"Hm..."
"Is it because you don't want to cross borders? Do you have a base here?"
"Not necessarily," responded Seol while scratching his chin.
Seol was simply worried about where he'd be headed after crossing the border and if he could still grow at the same pace he had grown here.
"But... I am curious about why we have to cross the border."
"Well, we're discussing the search party at the Libra Tower, right? The Libra Tower isn't in Nevenia."
"Right."
"Furthermore, it's because of where Bornuil headed last before his disappearance. Do you know about Alcatron?"
It was Seol's first time hearing about Alcatron.
"No, I haven't. What is it?"
"It is a recently discovered ruin. However, as it was being unearthed, a mysterious energy flowed out, halting progress."
"Hm..."
"Well, as always, it could just be the monsters in the ruins. However, no one is taking this matter lightly. The Libra Tower Master isn't weak enough to go missing without notice for no reason, after all."
"Which in turn means that there must have been a justifiable reason why he disappeared without contact."
Frannan nodded.
"Precisely. And another thing is worrying me. Our journey to the Libra Tower will be rather easy, but the path to Alcatron... might be a bit troublesome."
"...Ah!"
"Have you realized why?"
"It's because of the monster areas, right?"
"Yeah, there are also territories belonging to the other races mixed in, but... I doubt they'd clear a path for us so easily."
"Can't we just go around it, through the other nations?"
