Chapter 116: The Legend of the Tower
The village of the Sword Clan is surrounded by the sacred Zhenlong Mountain.
The mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, forming a natural wall to isolate the Dead Wilderness and protect the Sword Clan.
Opposite Zhenlong Mountain is the unruly Dead Sea with no fluctuations, sandwiching the Sword Clan in the middle.
It is said that at the end of the Dead Sea there is an ancient tower built by a great god, and there are seven of the same towers all over the world.
There are many theories about that god, and legend has it that he was the black god of death, who could judge the lives and deaths of other gods, swallow the stars by opening his mouth, and even dim the sun.
At the beginning of the world, the gods bestowed on seven mortals with unparalleled power, and the seven made a promise to gain power, and future generations must serve the gods forever.
The descendants of the Seven are the Seven Ancient Clans, who take care of everything in the world for the gods.
As the most powerful of the seven clans, it is a supreme honor to protect the Seven Divine Towers.
However, one day, the god suddenly disappeared and no longer responded to the Seven Ancient Clans, and the tower sank with the disappearance of the god.
Unable to find the gods, the seven clans were at a loss.
A black dragon from Chaos gains the approval of the Seven Towers, and the towers reappear, beginting the Age of the Evil Dragon Cholera.
The Chaos Dragons have ruled the world with absolute power, and fear has changed the loyalty of the Seven Great Desolate Ancient Clans to the gods, and some have begun to turn to the Chaos Dragons.
The dragon has ruled this world for a long time, and it has been creating a steady stream of its belongings, some deformed beasts, and those beasts like locusts have passed through the border and slowly eaten away at the world.
Until more than 2,000 years ago, after three tragic wars, the first was the Battle of the Immortals, and the Sixteen Heavenly Monarchs failed to fight the evil dragon, but also severely damaged the evil dragon.
Then the strongest person of the Sword Clan, Jian Fei, provoked the Dragon War and killed the seriously injured evil dragon, but the evil dragon did not die and was reincarnated and reborn.
In the final battle of annihilation, Jian Lingshen, the son of Jian Fei, fought with the reincarnated evil dragon for forty-nine days.
That great battle changed the landscape of the entire world, and although the Sword Ling God destroyed the evil dragon, it also caused the death of ninety percent of the living beings on the surface.
History is very cruel, after that great war, there are not many left of the heyday Seven Desolate Ancient Clans.
The remnants of the Sword Clan fled, crossed the impossible Death Wilderness, and found this place, surrounded by the ocean, mountains, and forests.
When they first arrived here, the ancestors of the Sword Clan built towers by the sea.
The tower was built to guide the lost ships in the ocean.
However, the Sword Clan soon discovered that any ship that went into the sea would sink to the bottom.
There are no high tides in this sea area, its existence is like a huge black glass laid out there, there are no ripples, no waves, no refraction of sunlight.
This is the black water summoned by the evil dragon from Chaos, and the Sword Clan calls it: the Dead Sea of Innocence.
When I came to the seashore and saw the familiar tower, my face that had been bitter during the day finally smiled.
He can still remember three years ago vividly.
There were seven people gathered here, saying that they were boys, that they were not small enough and that they were capable, and that they were men, that they were not old enough, that they were a little childish.
Let's call him a teenager.
They all looked solemn, and they had just experienced the trial of life and death not long ago.
The wounds on both shoulders of the day that were scratched by the red-veined demon wolf had already scarred, and Jian Yusheng had lost his left arm because of this, and his left sleeve was empty.
All seven of them had amber hearts on their chests, glowing with a gentle orange light, like some kind of pact that connected them together.
Each of the seven people picked up the wine bowl in front of them, which was filled with the wine that Jian Yusheng had stolen from home.
Jian Yusheng took the lead in raising a glass. "Seven of us worship here, not to be born on the same day, in the same month, but on the same day, in the same month, in the same year, and in the same month, we will die as brothers, and we will die for our brothers. ”
A declaration came out of the boy's mouth, sincere and impassioned.
The faces of the other six teenagers were red from excessive excitement, and they were fighting behind Jian Yusheng during the day, their little faces were hot, twice as red as the others.
"Boss! Jian Yusheng!!" Jian Yusheng drank all the wine, and the eyes of the other friends were full of envy.
"Second Sword Autumn!"
"Old Third Swordsman!"
"Old Four Swords!"
"Old Five Swords Changqing!"
"Old Six Swords Farewell!"
Teenagers sign up in order of ranking.
When it was daylight, I was already speechless by the impact of this solemn ceremony.
"Old seven, white, day. "The day is overexcited, the words are fragmented, and the words disappear in the throat.
Jian Yusheng patted Bai Day's shoulder, took his hand up, and raised it high.
"Our seventh brother! Daytime, Jian Xiaoqi. ”
"Drink together!" Jian Yusheng said.
"Drink together!" the others chimed in.
Daylight can still recall the cheers of the brothers, and the seven bowls touched together.
At that time, he let the spirits slide down his throat, but his vision was blurred by something, something he didn't want to admit at the time.
That day, it doesn't matter, give up stubbornness and give up being strong during the day, if he can have his own brother, he will never be lonely again, just cry once.
"Haha, I saw Xiao Qi crying!" shouted the sword parting happily.
"I didn't, you drank too much. Daylight retorted.
"I seem to be a little dizzy, what kind of wine is this?"
Kutong, Kutong rang seven times in a row, and the seven teenagers who had been drinking for the first time fainted and did not wake up until the next day.
The tower became a secret base for the teenagers at that time.
Reminiscing about the past, Daylight regained a certain sense of forgetfulness. "By the way, big brother, do you remember when we were here to worship? What kind of wine did you give us? ”
Jian Yusheng smiled when he heard this. "My father's own liquor is a suffocating spirit. ”
"Tsk, that wine is so strong, it's a miracle that we didn't die. ”
The two chatted as they climbed the tower.
Daylight knew every staircase, every nail here, and this place meant as much to him as his father's swordsmithing room.
Arriving at the top floor, the inside of the tower was completely different from the tattered appearance of the seven when they first bowed.
Except for the dust, everything was neat and orderly, and there was a half-new sword-forging furnace standing quietly.
It was the one who begged his father to help carry it up during the day, and now it was covered with cobwebs.
Jian Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Tian had regained his faith.
The brothers smiled at each other and looked side by side at the vast black sea.
The endless sea spread out in front of them, and they felt their insignificance.
Daylight is attracted by the giant curtain of blue and black intersecting between heaven and earth, and takes a deep breath to spit out all his troubles.
Jian Yusheng said: "The Dead Sea does not give birth to life, but it gives birth to the swords we forged, making them indestructible and unstoppable, Xiao Qi, do you know why?"
Bai Tian replied: "Father said that the Dead Sea is a legendary sea area, and it should not exist in the world, and below the Dead Sea is the former home of the Sword Clan, which has become an ocean in the struggle against the chaotic evil dragon Ao Zheng, and the water here is called by the black dragon from outside the sky, and it merges into a vast ocean in this world. ”
The day looked into the distance in a daze, trying to find the non-existent other side, and then added a sentence incredulously. "Is there really such a powerful person in the world?"
"First of all, it's not a human, it's a dragon. Jian Yusheng laughed. "I'm asking if you know what the sea does, but you're telling me myths. ”
