The World’s Strongest Daughter - The World’s Strongest Daughter chapter 156

Yoo Ji-hwan’s house that doesn’t feel popular .

Ding dong – ding dong –

With the sound of the doorbell breaking the silence, someone began to knock on the door .

Thump- Thump- Please open the door –

but no one responded , and

you go in -!?

In the end, the customer, who had lost his patience, pressed the password and opened the door . As predicted, Kang

Su –

yeon and Gong Hye-sun appeared just in time .

“ Huh? What ?”

“… Uh, I don’t think so… ?”

They scoured the house to confirm that Yoo Ji-hwan was not there, and Kang Su-yeon, who thought it was strange that the door sensor didn’t ring, took out her tablet and checked the CCTV that she had installed secretly .

“… I think I’ll have to check it out from last night… !”

“ Ummm .”

By the way… .

The night before, Yoo Ji-hwan, who was lying in bed alone on the tablet screen… .

“ Huh ?”

“… Sah, it’s gone… !”

“ Teleport? not really… .”

He suddenly disappeared .

*

A faint smell of dust and old paper rubbing the tip of your nose .

The high ceilings and endless walls looked like they were made of stacked stones, and the huge bookshelves along the walls were lined with books of all kinds

.

‘ Tower of Knowledge’ .

As the name suggests, this was the place where the knowledge and wisdom of all things were contained .

“ Wow… .”

I wandered around slowly, involuntarily admiring the majestic sight .

As the name suggests, there were a lot of people gathered here, from a white

–

haired old man who wouldn’t be surprised if he collapsed soon to a child who looked like an elementary school student, people of all races were able to share their knowledge in their own way. They were learning or practicing small magic .

There were so many wizards in the world… .

“… .”

I felt a strange sense of identity and continued to look around .

By the way… .

“… what ?”

At some point, I started to feel that I was being ignored by people for some reason .

Literally, the feeling of being unrecognized .

The first time I realized the strangeness was when I met an old man blocking the way between the bookshelves in the middle .

At this point, I was thinking of getting some information, so I sneakily talked to you… .

“ Is it okay if I pass by for a moment ?”

“… The Creator created the world… .”

“… over there ?”

“… The goddess of love and the goddess of fate… .”

The old man grabbed the book and muttered like a sutra, and did not turn his way .

I was a little embarrassed because it was the first time I had ever heard of an unknown language, but I was able to understand whether the tower itself had magic or its meaning itself .

Conversely, it means that the other person can understand what I am saying… .

The old man continued to practice as if he couldn’t hear me .

“… Are you busy ?”

At first I didn’t think much of it .

But after talking to him a few more times, he realized that something was strange .

“… over here .”

“ Hey, I’m sorry… .”

“ Teacher. … mister? Grandpa !”

No one in the Tower of Knowledge knew I was there .

“ No, what ?”

I questioned the unknown phenomenon and looked around for a while, but in the end I couldn’t find any useful information anywhere .

“ Sup… . It’s difficult… .”

After all, the ‘system’ is silent, and you can’t get help from people .

I wanted to search through the books in a hurry, but the variety is so vast that it is rather difficult to find information .

“ Ummm… .”

Feeling the greatness of the Internet and smartphones, I was wandering aimlessly looking for information .

“… huh ?”

My eyes met a mysterious woman who was taking out a book from the bookshelf .

With a brown sword, slightly drooping eyes, and even the dots on the corners of the eyes… .

Wearing a robe that covered her body, she was inferior to her wife, but she was a rare beauty .

“ Excuse me .”

I tried to speak quickly just in case .

However… .

“… .”

She naturally averted her eyes, avoiding my gaze, and said ,

“ Hey, I think we just met, I know what I see .”

I did not give up and kept talking persistently, interrupting her reading .

OK… .

Tak –

She sighed in annoyance and closed the book, then glanced at me and spoke to me .

“ What is it ?”

“… uh .”

Korean .

It was definitely Korean .

Feeling strangely happy that the person who first spoke to me speaks Korean, I greeted her with a small smile .

“ Nice to meet you. I did not expect to hear Korean here .”

Then, as if she didn’t like it, she narrowed her forehead and glanced at me, and in a voice filled with dissatisfaction, she slyly spoke to me .

“ Ha… . This is the first floor of the Tower of Knowledge, you can make a stairway to the next floor .”

“… yes ?”

It was so sudden that I stumbled a bit, but I quickly understood her words .

“ Thank you so much for letting me know .”

After giving thanks with such a habitual smile, she quietly shook her head and spoke softly .

“… Are you, by any chance, Mr. Kim ?”

“ No, Min… . It’s Yu .”

“… A woman will have a hard time .”

… huh ?

I was puzzled by her unknown self-talk, and she turned around as if annoyed and whispered .

“ Take care of yourself .”

Then, he took out the cell phone he saw for the first time, and he made a call to someone and disappeared .

“… what… .”

Left alone in an instant, I scratched my head for nothing and looked at the place where the woman had disappeared .

It’s like meeting a ghost .

After finding out information about the Tower of Knowledge… .

Gugugugugung –

“ Oh… . It’s real .”

I was able to implement the stairs to the next floor more easily than I thought . Would

you even recognize the experience of a previous life that was ranked A ?

Tabak-Tabak –

I started to climb the stairs slowly, feeling strange pleasure, and was able to make the stairs easily by generously using the abundant magical power flowing through the tower itself .

Obviously, there were quite a few people from the 1st to 4th floors, but from the 5th floor , the number of

people started to decrease, and from the 6th floor, the number of people decreased to the point of being rarely seen .

and… .

We reached the 8th floor .

“… It doesn’t happen .”

I finally got blocked, and I sat down on a pile of books and looked around .

“… .”

High bookshelves and countless books stacked on the shelves .

It’s so quiet that it’s creepy, so I wonder if I’ll get a mental illness if I stay for a long time .

But now that I’ve come this far, I have to go up to the 9th floor somehow… .

“… I don’t know .”

I couldn’t figure out how to get stronger here .

The power of magic works on the absolute basis of magic .

Of course, large magical powers can create powerful magic , while

small magic can only create magic with the appropriate power .

Of course, there are differences depending on the efficiency, but it does not deviate from the absolute law of magical power = power .

In other words, to get stronger, you have to increase your magic power… .

It’s not like it’s going to increase a lot if you increase your magic power, and it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to get items that can increase your magic here .

“ Sup… . Let’s find something… .”

I was in a lot of trouble, and I started to search the bookshelves around me, looking for information that might be there .

“… Well… .”

However… .

[ All About Parenting ]

[ Three Things You Lose in Marriage ]

[ Smart Cheating ]

Sure enough, no such useful book has come out .

“ It’s really useless… .”

There are so many types of books in the world that I think I might have brought them all, and it was difficult to find refined information because there were so many different types of books .

Ultimately, it means you have to figure it out yourself .

“ Ummm… .”

Still, I used a famous Ex-class item, but I did not want to miss this opportunity, so I started wandering around the tower aimlessly in deep trouble .

And that time when I was walking around for about two hours, thinking of a new magic .

Gugugugugugung –

Suddenly, the ceiling shook in front of me, and something began to fall .

“ That… .”

It was stairs .

“!”

I only thought of going up, not thinking about going down, so I approached the stairs with admiration , and

bruised… bump…

I found an old man coming down the stairs .

I greeted politely, embracing the thought that he might recognize me like the woman I saw on the first floor, and said ,

“ Excuse me, old man! Let me tell you a little bit about it !”

“ Ugh ?”

Fortunately, the old man looked straight at me .

He was wearing a white robe and hat that only appeared in a fantasy novel, and his long beard and eyebrows were white, but his waist was straight and not bent, giving off a strange mystery .

“ What about the young man ?”

I approached the old man, bowed politely once more, greeted him, and gently brought up the subject .

“ I want to get some advice from an elderly person, would you have time ?”

Then the old man patted the tip of his long beard and looked at me all the way, and in a soft voice he slyly spoke to me .

“… Hmmm… . Hey, would you like something to drink ?”

*

It wasn’t that difficult to make cool water for me, who uses natural magic .

Gulp- gulp- The

old man was quite thirsty, so he emptied his glass coolly and said ,

“ Puha-! Good… !”

Exhaling a cool admiration, he naturally slid the glass in .

“… yep .”

I quietly used my magic to fill a simple wooden cup with cool water, and said ,

“ Right… . That’s right… .”

The old man turned the glass, mixing the ice and water to and fro, and took it straight to his mouth .

Gulp – gulp –

It’s already the 7th cup since I poured water .

The old man emptied his glass with excitement as if he was not full .

“ Fuha… .” It is said that the old man who went up to the

ninth floor felt the limit and was going down to the first floor again . I, who is ranked

A , was blocked on the 8th floor, what kind of state is the 10th floor beyond the 9th floor ?

“… old man. Have you quenched your thirst ?”

I spoke to him, and the old man glanced at me with his long eyebrows fluttering, then nodded with satisfaction and held out his glass again .

“ Gorum, gorum! Hey, mana is pretty pure, isn’t it ?”

I don’t know what it actually means, but I filled the glass with a modest thank you .

Kokkolkkul –

So the old man emptied the 8th cup coolly, and then wiped his lips with his sleeve and finally brought out the main point .

“ So, what do you want to know ?”

“… Other than that, I would like to ask for advice on how to approach the upper floors .”

“ Ew… . It’s bland .”

The old man glanced at me, folded his arms, and swung his neck from side to side and said nothing .

“ Why do you want to go up ?”

Why I want to go up… .

To be honest, since I used an Ex-class item, I can’t help but think that I can’t miss this opportunity .

“ I came all the way here, wouldn’t it be a waste to just go back? ”

Then the old man glanced at me, stopped shaking his head, and asked again .

“… Why do you want to go upstairs ?”

An old man who asks the same question again .

I paused for a moment at the old man’s words ,

“… Hmmm… .”

The old man slowly got up and spoke, creating a staircase leading downstairs .

” I’m old, so I don’t have the same passion as I used to. You seem to be full of passion, so give it a try .”

“ Old man, what is that… .”

“ You drank well !” The old man who left a

hint like a

hint went downstairs and was left alone

again .

“ Ha… .”

I sat down on the cold stone floor and looked up at the ceiling, remembering the question left by the old man .

… Why I want to go up… .

Of course , because I want to be strong .

The Tower of Knowledge evaluates strength and ability by the number of floors, and if I can get to the 9th floor, I may be able to surpass the A rank and reach the same S rank as my wife .

It means that you can overcome the wall of A-rank that you couldn’t overcome even if you tried so hard in your lifetime .

When I reach S rank, like my wife… !

… like my wife… .

… wife… . like… .

What… . what i want to do… ?

“… … .”

The wife is strong .

It’s not called S rank for nothing, it’s not called ‘the strongest’ .

Despite her talent, she rose to the ‘strongest’ after a lot of hard work, and defended her family with power and power proudly .

However… .

It’s not that I didn’t try either .

He drained his mana to the bottom every day and steadily increased the amount of mana, and studied strong magic so that he could fight strong monsters and his wife comfortably .

Just as the name of S -Rank is not freely given, it is not an easy title to receive the name of A-Rank .

I also proudly climbed to the A rank, supported my wife, and played an active role with my wife, making a big contribution .

If this is enough, you can say that I tried hard .

… right ?

“… … .”

Sometimes I felt like that .

If I had been stronger, it would have been better… . thinking to .

The day my wife was seriously injured at an S-class gate .

For the first time, I felt so pathetic .

Seeing his wife holding her stomach and panting, nothing

I felt so useless and powerless for not being able to do it myself .

If only I had been a little stronger… .

If I had been a little stronger, I thought that my wife would have been hurt, but… .

I had already hit the wall .

Because I couldn’t get over that wall .

I left my family behind and died at will .

That’s why I always wanted to be strong .

I just ran into the wall of limitations and desperately turned away .

Now, instead of being protected by my wife, I want to protect her .

Rather than forcing Soyeon to become the ‘strongest’, I want to directly prevent the destruction with my own hands .

I want to protect my family with my own hands and protect Soyeon and her so that they can live happily .

Why I want to go up… .

That ‘s my reason .

“… … .”

After belatedly, I finally understood the old man’s words, and immediately sat cross-legged and meditated .

And sinking into my heart, I began to dig into the abyss of my heart .

To find the real reason for what I’m looking for .

The day I fell in love with my wife at first sight… .

The first day I went on a date with my wife… .

The first night I spent the night with my wife… .

The day I found out about Soyeon’s existence… .

The day I was drowsy waiting for Soyeon… .

The day I cried when I met Soyeon… .

The day Soyeon first walked… .

The first day I went to play with my family… .

The happy memories of my life bloomed and filled my heart, and as I dig a

little deeper, sad memories began to surface one after another .

“ Khhh… .”

It was hard to even think of it, but because I can’t always be happy .

I took even the sadness and buried it all in my heart .

and… .

Digging a little more, a little bit further, I remembered a dream I had before .

My wife and Soyeon… . And Yoo Ji-hwan, not Min Sung-jae, gathered to create a happy family, the ‘dream’ .

This was my real reason .

Flashing –

When I came out of the abyss and opened my eyes ,

“… … .”

The stairs leading up to the next floor were already down in front of me .

I slowly got up and went up the stairs, and after

passing through the

8th floor and reaching the 9th floor, a new world opened up in front of my eyes .

“ Ha… .”

Instead of the dull stones, bright light and pure white puffy clouds filled the sky, and the

transparent floor faintly reflected the dense sky .

Hui Yiying –

A cool wind blows and wraps around my body .

Raising the corners of my lips in a pleasant freshness, I recalled the story the old man had told me earlier . I can’t go up to the

10th floor, so I’ll start over from the 1st floor .

It’s a baseless confidence, but if I take the time, I think I might be able to go up to the 10th floor .

However… .

Now I have work to do .

If the head of the household does not protect the family, who will ?

I used magic to create a new simple cup .

Then, for the old man who would come up someday, he carefully put it down with cool water and ice and turned around without hesitation .

Hwaak –

A momentary reversal of vision .

“ Whew… .”

Realizing that I had returned home, I quietly smiled, feeling the vivid sense of magic and the overflowing power .

*

At that time .

A cafe in Seoul .

“ Oh… . It definitely feels like twins .”

‘ Saint Lady’ Kang Su-yeon looked at Gong Hye-sun and Gong Ji-ji, who sat across from each other .

“ Then, shall we start slowly ?” It was the beginning of the

three -party talks .
