Chapter 182: Sluggishness

Let's start with an assumption --

Roland speculated that Anvilia should still be inside the White Tower.

Roland glanced deeply at Scott and bit his lip slightly.

It is not for nothing that he made this judgment.

After the Star Caller made his way to the astral plane through a ritual, the White Tower was simply defenseless in the eyes of the gods.

Not to mention the priests, even most of the wizards don't know who the owner of the fifth tower of the White Tower is.

Roland had asked Claudia this question before, and the answer she gave was that she didn't know.

This is also the result of the premise that she has an older brother studying in the White Tower.

Leaving aside the wizards outside the White Tower, the answer is the same when you mention Anrusi.

As the chief and a personal disciple of the Star Caller, he also needs a special opportunity to enter the Fifth Tower to tidy up - or clean up.

In the eyes of most of the White Tower's wizard apprentices, the Fifth Tower of the White Tower's presence is really low.

Compared with some common knowledge about the Fifth Tower, there are more urban legends about the Fifth Tower.

Not to mention the gods' side - Roland estimated that the upper echelons of the White Tower had subconsciously ignored the garrison ability of the Fifth Tower.

And Roland knew in his heart that in case of a real invasion of the gods, the Fifth Tower would indeed not organize a defense.

As the only backup repository for all of the White Tower's data, the Fifth Tower will be able to fulfill its mission as long as it exists.

Not only will it not organize defenses, but it will also use the energy storage of the White Tower to banish the Fifth Tower to other planes, and only return after everything has completely calmed down.

In this case, the interior of the White Tower can be said to be undefended.

If the gods see through the empty plan of the White Tower, or simply think too little and do not attack from the outside, and directly send a priest into the White Tower to destroy it, there is a considerable chance that the White Tower will be directly blown into ruins.

There is nothing else to do - just cut off the energy supply to the second tower, or cause some damage to the second tower, and the ceremony will be interrupted.

First of all, eighty percent of the starcallers will not come back alive - at that same time. The second tower will also explode. Bomb and wreak terrible havoc.

That power is definitely not enough to destroy the world, but it is not a problem at all to raze the entire White Pagoda to ruins.

With Anvilia's relationship with the Star Caller, it was impossible for her to not get his divination on this trip.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but sneer.

From Merlin's reaction, Roland guessed that the Star Caller must have performed this divination. And told several other tower owners about the inevitable collapse of the White Tower.

In this case, Anville can't leave if she wants to.

The owners of the third and fourth towers are now uncontactable, and Merlin has to protect the fifth tower and can't make a move. After the Star Caller enters the Star Plane, once Anvilia leaves the White Tower, the White Tower really becomes an empty shell.

Even if there is something that must be solved by asking Anvilia to go out in person, Anvilia must first appear on the side of the White Tower to prove to the enemies that she is here before she can go out with confidence.

Moreover, the timing of her appearance must be well grasped.

The gods are not stupid. If it's just a simple temptation that has to be solved by Anvilia himself, then either Anvilia has a weak heart. Either that, or the White Tower's defenses are so weak that they seem to be nothing.

Either outcome is what Anville wants to see.

Now that Scott is left here, Anviglia is left with only two options.

Bet that the gods won't launch a general attack anytime soon, leaving Scott on the defensive, and doing what she has to do as quickly as possible.

-- Or, just hide in the White Tower. Waiting for the enemy to be sure that she had left the White Tower before coming out to slap her face, the truth and falsehood made the enemy even more afraid to move.

With Roland's knowledge of Anvilia, there's a good chance she'll choose one of the options below.

Roland's eyes narrowed slightly.

If it is the first case, then Roland will naturally have no problem going to see Merlin on this trip.

But. If it was the second case, Roland might as well go directly to see Anvilia.

Compared to Merlin, who doesn't know about the Sage. It would be easier for Roland to communicate with Anvilia, who has some connection to the Elder Sleeper.

And if Roland wants to meet Anvilia, it's actually quite easy-

Roland suddenly asked, "Lord Scott, what is Master Merlin looking for us?" ”

However, instead of answering Roland's question, Scott stopped.

"How did you know my name?"

Although it was a questioning tone, Scott's mouth was so flat that it seemed to repeat some kind of truth: "I don't remember introducing myself. ”

"The princess's demon dog. Famous. ”

As if infected by Scott, Roland's words also flattened.

Hearing Roland's reply, Scott groaned slightly, and then suddenly said, "...... Sure enough. ”

Then he turned around.

At that moment, Roland felt a sinking pressure.

It's as if you're not dealing with a slender human being at the moment. It's like a beast in human skinβ€”

Upon seeing Scott's ice-blue eyes, Roland suddenly felt the world around him distort.

It blurs, then swirls, and finally melts completely, turning into a vertiginous gray distorted landscape.

The ticking of the distorted second hand rang in Roland's ears.

Only Scott, the "man", remained the same in Roland's eyes - everything else was elongated, and the color became strange and distorted.

Even if he had been prepared, an inexplicable fear still grabbed Roland's heart.

It wasn't a low-end, boring thing like intimidation, nor was it a false illusion.

It's life's instinctive fear of death.

- No, strictly speaking, it should be an irresistible force of existence constrained by the river of time.

It's an experience you can't get in a game anyway.

NOT IN THE FORM OF A DEBUFF, BUT IN THE FORM OF A REAL FEAR.

A mixture of nausea, vomiting, and weakness.

Is this the power of ...... "sluggishness"?

Roland's pupils trembled slightly.

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

This is the origin of Scott - hysteresis.

With the bonus of Origin, one second in the outside world will be ten times longer in Scott's mind.

This slows down any swift object in Scott's eyes. At the same time, it also allows Scott to be better at quiet thinking than others.

But as we all know, the origin is uncontrollable if it is less than the level of the supreme minaret in one day.

Scott's days are ten times longer than everyone else's.

It's actually a curse as well.

Every word that the others said would be distorted to Scott's ears because it was roughly stretched. No matter how pleasant the sound was before, it will become a real noise.

Scott's understanding of music was only before he broke free from the path of awakening.

For more than 800 years, Scott lived in a world of noise and distortions.

If it weren't for Anvilia, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy a long time ago.

That's why Roland spoke to him in short, non-polite sentences.

This is the most relaxed way for Scott to speak.

"I am the elect of the Sleeping Mentor."

Without the slightest pretension, Roland said straight to the point. (To be continued......)
