The construction of the second level of the tower has been completed, and the ramps and shafts for transporting the stones have been lengthened and heightened. Gutrive looked up from under the tower, but felt that the wall of the tower at this time looked like a towering circular wall. It's just that the walls are not full of brick gaps, but exquisite bas-reliefs.

"Giant, I heard that the owner of the wooden box was captured by the Hawkeye Apostle?" Gutrive followed behind the Giant, and after inspecting a masonry project with the Giant, he tentatively opened his mouth to ask him.

The giant master took a glass of water from the servant behind him, and he nodded after taking a sip.

"Then he..."

Before Gutrive could continue to speak, the giant suddenly stretched out his finger and shook it. He motioned for Gutrive to follow him aside to discuss the matter.

Seeing this, Gutriv looked around vigilantly, and found that there was no one else in the vicinity except for two craftsmen from the Guild of Craftsmen, a group of his guards, and a few of his servants. He didn't understand who the giant master was trying to avoid, but he vaguely felt a sense of unease.

"Master Gutrief, how did you know that the man was captured by the Hawkeye Apostle?" The Giant Master asked Gutrive as he led him to a secluded place.

"Yes.." Gutrive hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your captain of the guard told me. ”

"Hmm," the Master looked back at the captain of the guard who was standing guard not far away, and then said to Gutriv, "I did let him tell you. ”

"Giant Master, did you have any special intention for asking him to tell me about this?" Gutrive also glanced at the captain of the guard, and then asked the giant.

"Of course." "Master Gutriv, first of all, you must know that the owner of the wooden box was captured in the city of Hydebara in the southern region, and he is on his way here at this moment. ”

"Oh . . . He actually went to the city of Hydebara after that..."Gutriv asked instead, "Master, are you going to escort him directly here from the city of Hydbara?"

The giant master nodded.

"But, Giant, shouldn't all the people that Hawkeye will catch be sent to the national capital Hesa and handed over to the regent?" Gutrive asked.

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you, I explained this to the Lord Regent, and I made it so that the Hawkeye Apostle would send him directly to me after he was caught." The giant master said.

Gutrive was a little surprised and asked, "Giant, Lord Regent, he... Did he grant your request? ”

"Of course.." The giant master said lightly.

"Send that person here as soon as possible, Master, do you have any plans?" Gutrive asked, after a moment's thought.

"There are two plans." "The first plan is that I want you to interrogate that person when he is escorted. ”

"Let me interrogate him? This—" Gutriv said with some hesitation, "Master, that man is an Ilo, and I don't know any of Ilo, and I don't know much about Ilo..."

"I'll send you a good translator." "You need to interrogate everything he knows, including what he came here for. ”

"Alright, Master, I do as you ask." Gutrive continued, "Actually, I should have interrogated him, after all, he was found near my camp. I'm just worried about Hesa's side."

"You don't have to think about Hesa's thoughts." The giant master said.

"Okay." Gutrive asked, "I wonder what your second plan is, Master?" ”

"The second point, as I just said, is that the Ilo is now on his way here from Hydebara. And I had my captain of the guard spread the news to a lot of important people. The Giant Master looked at Gutriff's hesitant eyes and said slowly, "I want to see who will try to rescue him all the way from Hydebara here." ”

"I see.." Gutrive thought for a moment and then realized, "Thank you, Master, for trusting me. I think you are arranging this to take this opportunity to check if there is still his internal response in the whole camp, right? ”

"It's not about the inside of our camp, Gutrive." "I want to see if there are people in the entire Asur who are trying to sabotage our progress in the whole of Asur. ”

"The whole of Azor..."Gutrive pondered for a moment and said, "Master, do you say that the appearance of this Ilo has anything to do with the Absu Serpent Secret Society?" ”

"I don't know yet. At the moment, there does not seem to be any connection between them. However, this will still need to be interrogated before you can confirm it. ”

"I'll interrogate him strictly, and if this Ilo is not related to the Absu Snake Secret Society, then it's the best." "Since Vimos took over as the stonework inspector, I've been worried about his safety. I've been worried that the Absu Snake Society will commit murder again, and I'm worried that they'll kill our stone watchman again, or anyone else in our camp. ”

"Don't worry, Gutriv. I now understand why the Absu Snake chose to kill Darishur in the first place. The giant master said.

"Master, do you know why the Absu Snake Secret Society killed him?" Gutrive was surprised and asked, "Why is that?" ”

"Because he's been to Tower Heart."

Gutrive was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Giant... You said that Dalishur An, he went to the heart of the tower? ”

"Yes." The giant master turned to look at the area around the center of the tower that was hidden by the high wall in the distance and said, "Before, I secretly sent him into the center of the tower to work for a period of time in order to assist the two grandmasters there in their work. ”

"This ..... Giant, how did they know that he had been to Taxin, could it be that there were people of theirs in our camp who were secretly watching everything all the time? Gutrive asked, thoughtful.

The giant master nodded lightly and said, "It should be." Although Dalishu'an did not stay long when he entered the heart of the tower, the Absu Serpent's secret members quickly killed him. As you know, in fact, the work of stone carving on the tower wall is not so critical to the main construction of the entire giant tower. And killing a stone carving inspector has little impact on the entire project. But they still took the risk and killed him, and the reason for the killing could only be because he had been to the heart of the tower and learned the secrets inside. ”

"Giant, I want to take the liberty of asking... What's the secret of Taxin? Gutrive asked.

"You shouldn't ask that." "The less people know about Tower Heart, the better, Master Gutriv, if you know too many secrets about Tower Heart, I think you will soon be the target of their attack." ”

Gutrive took a breath of cool air, he looked around, and then asked in a low voice to the Giant, "Giant, is this Absu Snake Secret Society really so terrifying?" ”

"It's far more terrifying than you think, and the people of the Absu Snake Secret Society are likely to infiltrate the area around the heart of the tower, and that's what I'm most worried about." "Shortly after Dalishu'an's death, I ordered some of the guards in the heart of the tower to be replaced, but even so, I still feel that the people of the Absu Secret Order have infiltrated that area. ”

"The Absu Snake Secret Society has even infiltrated the heavily guarded area around the heart of the tower." Gutrive was surprised and thought for a moment and asked, "Master, you said. What is the purpose of the Absu Snake secret meeting with them? ”

"Their purpose is clear, and the series of actions they have carried out have shown that they are trying to prevent us from building the Tower of Babel." The giant master said.

"Stop us from building the Tower of Babel?" Gutrive asked, shocked.

The giant master nodded.

"It's no wonder," Gutrive asked after a moment's thought, "But..., Giant, you just said that they went through a series of actions?" ”

"Yes."

Gutrive asked, confused, "Did they do anything other than kill Darishur?" ”

"Of course, they did a lot of things." "They kill people in our camp and do things like that, compared to the other things they do, it's nothing to mention. ”

"Huh?" Gutrive was surprised and asked the Giant, "Giant, what else have they done?" ”

"According to the secret reports sent back by the Hawkeye Apostles who were planted in various countries, someone once conveyed the news of our construction of Babel Tower Dingirla to many countries around us at the first time." "And the recent analysis of the Eagle Eye Society shows that these people who have passed on the news of our construction of the Tower of Babel to the surrounding countries should have been done by an organization. ”

Gutrive asked in surprise, "Master, what do you mean? The Absu Snake Society has spread the news of our construction of the Great Tower to the enemy nation? ”

The giant master nodded.

"Why are they doing this?" As soon as Gutrive finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he turned to ask in shock, "Do they want to interfere with our construction of Dingirla through the hands of other countries?" ”

"It's more than a distraction, Gutrief." "They want other nations to wage war against us," said the Giant. ”

"Let other countries wage war against us ..?" Gutrive said worriedly, "They have that much power? ”

"The Absu Snake Society, as an ancient organization, can continue to develop in secrecy until now, and they must have their unknown transcendence." The giant master said.

"But even if they have the ability, it will be difficult to change the national military politics of some countries, right?" Gutrive asked.

"You're right, Master Gutrief, this would be very difficult to do in normal times." "But they were helped by the evil gods. ”

"Helped by the evil gods..?" Gutriv asked curiously, "Master, what does this mean?" ”

Turning his head in Hesa's direction, he asked him, "Master Gutrif, do you know that the southern coast of Azor has been invaded by the sea?" ”

"I know about it." "I've heard that many towns, villages, and farmland have been submerged in the lands of the King of the South. ”

"Hmm." "I thought it was a tsunami, but then I learned from the report brought by the Eagle Eye Apostle that it wasn't a tsunami, but a rising sea. ”

"The rising waters of the sea... I've heard that, too. Gutriv thought for a moment and said, "Master, do you mean the rising waters of the sea when you just said about the help of the evil gods?" ”

"Well, yes." "According to the report of the Eagle Eye Society, the sea has risen not only along the coast of our southern king's territory in Athore, but also on the coasts of the whole world. This includes the north and south sides of Garan in the west, the north, south and west of Ranty, the whole of Feiton, the east and west of Chanla, the south of Mandan, the southeast and southeast of Iro, the whole of Sakura, and the north of the northern wilderness and the four sides of the southern land, so to speak, all the coasts of the world are now being invaded by the sea, and this invasion shows no signs of abating, it is still slowly devouring the land. ”

"Huh? Even Randy, the westernmost point of the continent, and Ilo, the easternmost point of the continent, were flooded? "Are they one in the far west and the other in the far east, and they were flooded at the same time as us?" ”

The giant master nodded and said, "Yes. ”

"This, how can this be?" Gutrive asked in surprise.

"I don't know why that's happening." "But the rising waters are hesitant to help the gods, and it has indeed helped the Absu Serpent Society, and they have also taken the opportunity to spread rumors to other countries that the rising waters are caused by our construction of the Dingirrata. ”

"Oh my God, it's ridiculous that they're making up such a lie." "Could it be that the rulers of other countries would believe such lies?" Gutrive said. ”

"Whether they believe it or not, this rumor has already reached their ears." After a pause, the Grand Master said, "Even if the rulers don't believe the nonsense of the Absu Secret Society, Master Gutrif, what do you think the rulers of those countries should order to do in the face of rising waters?" ”

"This.." Gutriv thought for a moment and said, "They should let their people escape the raging waters as soon as possible, and move as far away from the coast as possible." ”

"You're right, but far from the coast... Is it the Gamil Plateau, which is full of snow-capped mountains and has a harsh climate? Or is it the Cardo Desert full of yellow sand and gravel? "As the sea continues to rise, in the end, I am afraid that they will have to march towards our Azor, which is located in the center of the continent and has a vast and fertile field. What is the difference between this and believing the lies of the Absu Snake Society, and besides, the lies of the Absu Snake Society have given them an excuse. ”

Gutrive was shocked, and he muttered, "This... It's horrible... If that is the case, will we be about to be besieged by the Quartet? ”

"It's not about to suffer, it's already happening." The great master looked into the distance and said, "Several of Randy's princes have already marched on our Athore at the instigation of their Pope. ”

"Ahh It's disgusting that Randy has already marched on us... Surprised, Gutriv asked the Giant, "Great, why is the Absu Snake Society trying so hard to prevent us from building the Tower of Babel?" Can you tell me? ”

"Because of the heart of the tower." The giant master said, "Don't ask me too much about the problems there, and when the time is right, I may send you to the heart of the tower." ”

"Giant Master ....."

"Let's go, don't talk about that, you can accompany me to the carpenter's camp to have a look." After looking into the distance, the master turned to Gutrive and said, "I want to go there and see." ”

After taking a few steps, Gutriv asked the master, "Master, why do you suddenly want to go to the carpenter's camp?" I don't think you pay much attention to the carpenters' work, right? ”

"Yes, Gutrief." "Before I saw the wooden box you sent, I always thought that the skill level of the carpenters and their knowledge were far inferior to those of us stonemasons. ”

"Did that wooden box change your opinion?" Gutrive asked.

"Changed a little." "The intricate construction of that wooden box, and the principles contained in it, turned my understanding of carpenters upside down. ”

"That's clever, but it's just a small mechanism." Gutrive said.

"Master Gutrief, although the wooden box is small, if the person who makes the wooden box does not have a certain knowledge of mathematics and geometry, it will not be able to make it. Besides, do you think that the kind of mechanism in the wooden box can be made by our carpenters here? The giant master asked.

"Should.." Gutrive hesitated, then said, "I guess I can." I don't know much about carpenters' work making this kind of thing, but I guess they can do it. ”

"Unfortunately, none of us here can make that kind of crate mechanism." "I've found two good carpenters who don't even understand how their mechanisms work. As for the other ordinary carpenters, they didn't even understand how the tools could fit into a small wooden box at the same time. ”

Gutriv thought for a moment and said, "Does this mean that the Ilo have more advanced carpentry skills than us?" ”

"Perhaps."
