Chapter 1538 - Lively Tower
Chapter 1538 – Lively Tower
Jimey was just one of the few members in the office inside the organization. After all, there wasn’t a need for many people since the purging organization didn’t take many new members every year. With that said, this office was responsible for more things than just registering new recruits. “Hmm? Oh, come on! I’ve just finished adjusting the resource budget for the new recruits for this month. Can’t you wait until the next one?”
Celis couldn’t help but comment through a Divine Sense message, ‘Due to the main reason of this organization’s existence, I thought this place would be a lot more… gloomy…’ However, it was anything but that. All the areas they passed by were quite lively. The people here didn’t seem to be carrying burdens or anything like that. In fact, Jimey’s attitude only reinforced that thought.
Roan agreed with Celis on that point. ‘I had the same idea. However, if you think a little about it, you will see it isn’t hard to understand. The purging only happens once every hundred years, after all. There isn’t really a need to act all dark. At least not while you’re with members of the same organization as yours.’
Himatikia didn’t like Jimey’s complaint, though. “Stop the bullshit. You only do that once a month, and you’re complaining? If you want, I’ll change jobs with you. Do you want to go out and play judge in my place?”
Jimey immediately shook her head as she replied, “Over my dead body!” Jimey knew very well how burdensome it was to watch those challenges. She then looked at Roan and Celis, asking, “Sigh… whatever. What is this? A Peak Stage Eight Demon Tree? That’s a very, very rare thing to see in our Upside Down World. As for the boy… isn’t he quite weak to be joining us?”
Himatikia shook her head, saying in response, “That’s none of your concern. I have Grand Elder Levid’s permission to add these two to our ranks. Also, I need you to prepare three new badges. This boy’s brother is also joining the organization. It’s just that Grand Elder Levid had something to discuss with him, so he didn’t come with me.”
Jimey shrugged her shoulders after hearing that. “Who am I to go against old Levid’s words? Wait here for a moment. I’ll prepare the new badges.”
In any case, it didn’t take long. Around thirty minutes later, Jimey returned to the room where Roan and Celis were waiting. “Here you go. Just put a drop of your blood on it, and the badge will bind itself to you. No one else other than you will be able to ever use it.”
Celis took the opportunity to ask, “What can I do with these badges?”
Jimey, who was preparing to leave, could only stop her steps and answer in the end. “You’re joining the organization, and you don’t know even that? What is old Levid thinking?” Nevertheless, she still explained. “Whatever. You’ll have access to all the cultivation facilities of the tower. Well, there aren’t many things. Just some Divine Energy gathering formations and things like that.”
Following that, Jimey pointed at Roan and Celis’s badges, saying, “Can you see the numbers? Since our organization doesn’t have that many members, everyone has their personal space. The first one is the floor. The second number is your room. Because humanoid races and demon beasts have different lifestyles, your living floors are different as well. The rooms for the demons have a lot more height so that the demons can go back to their original size while they’re resting.”
Celis was happy to hear that… even though he wouldn’t use it. He was planning to go back to the Dimensional Realm as soon as a chance appeared. “What about the resources? I heard from Grand Elder Levid we could get some Divine Stones. What rank are they?”
“Rank? Hahaha!” Jimey laughed out loud when she heard that. “What other rank could it be if not Rank One? Do you think we can get high-level Divine Stones in this place? You definitely came from outside for you to ask such a thing. Anyway, you two, as new recruits, can only have ten Rank One Divine Stones per month. Go to the distribution center on the 4th floor after you complete a month here.”
Celis couldn’t help but sigh after hearing that. Compared to the Rank Three Divine Stones he still had in the Dimensional Realm, the organizations’ Divine Stones were basically useless. ‘Roan, come with me to my room. That place is most likely out of everyone’s views. Once we get there, I’ll head back to the Dimensional Realm to cultivate.’
Roan didn’t mind it. ‘Alright.’
Jimey then exchanged a few more words with Roan and Celis before she was finally able to leave.
Himatikia, of course, was still there. “Alright, this concludes the process. I’ll go bring this extra badge to Grand Elder Levid. Is there anything else you want to know?”
Roan nodded in response, asking, “You can’t possibly let us stay in this place for free. Even though it can’t compare to what we had outside, I know this is probably one of the best places to be in this Upside Down World. What do we need to do while we’re not purging?”
“Oh! That! Of course, you can take on many different duties while being here. Usually, they’re simple things like guarding the facilities and following the elders to help set up the challenge formations. In the end, what people expect from us the most is that we carry our purging duties every hundred years without mistakes and bias,” Himatikia explained.
Roan and Celis didn’t mind it. “Alright, I guess that’s all we need to know.”
Himatikia was happy to hear that. “Good. Anyway, you can go explore the organization. Your badges also work as keys. If there’s any door it can’t open, it’s because you aren’t allowed in there. Understood?”
Roan and Celis nodded once again. “That’s very useful.”
With that, Himatikia decided to leave. “Now then, I’ll be going. Let me know if you need anything.”
Once she was gone, Roan and Celis finally had the chance to go to Celis’s allocated room. There, Sister Orb confirmed there were formations that impeded others from prying inside. Only then did Roan send Celis into the Dimensional Realm and left Celis’s room to take a look at the tower.
