Chapter 180: Merlin's Decision
It's not that all Roland has experienced before has been hallucinations.
Although with Roland's willpower, it seems relatively normal for him to fall into hallucinations...... But his perception was now above eighteen, and the mentor could have reminded him after he had fallen into a hallucination.
After all, it is impossible for a Sage to fall into an illusion.
Sharing the Sage's vision destroys all illusions – Higgs's gaze is the principle.
Besides, if Roland can still gain experience in the illusion, Roland still wishes he could fall into a few more hallucinations......
The system prompt is not lying.
Since it says that Roland killed a Skullcrusher, then Roland killed a Skullcrusher.
In fact, it is not so much that his group was confused by illusion and fell into a collective hallucination, it is better to say that Roland and the others have entered a copy-
To be precise, it should be that Roland and the Lord of Violence were all pulled into this copy by Merlin with the Old City.
In retrospect, when Roland and the others came out of the underground teleportation station, they had probably entered the Old City.
This old city is nested outside the real White Tower. Defend the White Tower from all damage from outside the White Tower.
In other words, the Bitter Lord of Violence abandoned one of his right arms and struck him in the air—all he destroyed was an identical copy of the Old City's version of the White Tower, which overlapped with the White Tower.
Not to mention the building being demolished by a sandstorm - even if the entire copy is crushed to pieces, as long as the core of this sorcery is not broken from the inside, it can be reset in an instant.
In this way, it would explain why the gods had to let the priest enter the White Tower to destroy it.
Come on now. It is highly likely that the Lord of Violence was only tricked by the gods into testing the White Tower's methods.
It may not have been the Lord of Violence who struck last time, but the gods must have tempted. will let his priest go to great lengths to infiltrate the interior of the White Tower.
Otherwise, there would not be even a need to gather so many pastors. With a few gods paying a price, the White Tower can be razed to the ground from the outside.
For the gods to break the hostile relationship for nearly a thousand years and be forced to unite together, it must be the White Tower that has pushed them to the limit.
The reason why Roland didn't know that the White Tower had been attacked by the gods once was also very simple - because this attack had no effect.
Looking at the curiosity and contempt that flashed in the eyes of the wizards who were coming and going around them as they looked at the embarrassed few of them, Roland knew that these people didn't know that the Lord of Violence had attacked the White Tower once.
Under the shadow of the old city, the inhabitants of the White Tower are ignorant and happy.
The White Tower Collapses This version is part of the closed and open beta of the Land of the Gods. At this time, the player can only choose the human race, limited to the limit of the black iron race, and the player's level limit is still 20, so it is impossible to interfere with this plot.
Other words. That is, the player's intelligence sources at this stage are all from NPCs. And these NPCs themselves don't know that they have passed by the catastrophe of destruction, how can the player know?
Roland sighed deeply.
Ignorance is bliss.
Before the final destruction comes, the one who looks at the White Tower and knows the fate that he is about to face will not even have a hand.
Since the gods have begun to tempt, it means that the White Tower is not far from the established destruction-
…… However, at the thought of Merlin's actions, Roland couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Suppose Merlin knew that violence was coming......
So, what does Merlin mean by directly locking Roland and the more than twenty skull-crushers out of the enchantment?
What's the difference between this and closing the door and locking your friends out after the zombies arrive?
Fortunately, Roland's strength is strong enough. to get rid of the skull-crusher.
Otherwise......
Roland suddenly froze in place.
"I see......"
"Is it because Joseph killed a few agents from the Waste Bureau, and is worried that we are in league with the Lord of Violence......
Roland suddenly came to his senses.
If Merlin could have seen Joseph all the time, then there is an explanation for the current situation.
Although I don't know if the mentor has obscured Roland from Merlin's perception. But in any case, Merlin could not have been mistaken about Joseph's obedience to Roland.
Therefore, Roland had to take the blame for Joseph – even though the pot should have been on his shoulders.
Joseph's killing of those wastes for no reason is equivalent to making the fact that Roland entered the White Tower with bad intentions in front of Merlin's eyes.
But. The current chaotic situation still makes Merlin dare not act at will.
Pull a hair and move the whole body, this is the current situation of the White Tower.
Who the twenty skullclenders over there belonged to, and what they were doing, Merlin knew exactly as soon as he looked at their faces.
Instead, it's Roland's side. Merlin didn't know what he was doing when he entered the White Tower.
So he needed to test it.
As far as the results were concerned, all he knew was that Roland was not with the Lord of Violence. But as long as he doesn't go blind. You can definitely see Roland's electorate.
Merlin is human after all. Theoretically, he should have lived less than a hundred years. Unlike the other four tower owners.
He was unaware of the existence of the Holy One.
Perhaps Merlin, who is the living backup of the White Tower, knows something about the Sage, but as long as his mind is normal, it is impossible to directly associate Roland with the Chosen of the Sage.
In his opinion, as the chosen people of other gods, it is very likely that Roland was attacked by the Skullbreaker only because of the personal grudge between the gods, and also because of personal grudges and the complete "annihilation" of the soul of a Skullclender-
After Roland did this, Merlin gave up his temptation to Roland.
He knew that since Roland could tear down a skull crusher without taking a breath, he would be able to tear down the remaining nineteen.
In the unlikely event that all of the twenty skull-crushers die here and can't even return their souls, the gods are likely to overestimate the White Tower's methods—and with this overestimation, it is possible to guess the limits of the White Tower.
Therefore, it is better to directly control the old city, kill the nineteen skullbreakers, send the news of Roland's location back to the Lord of Violence, and choose all your own relationships......
…… What a cowardice.
Roland couldn't help but sneer.
Merlin is only human after all, and his vision is not high enough. Even if he knew the god opposite, he only subconsciously calculated according to the standards between human forces.
It seems that even a wizard is an indisputable profession, once he gets old, he can't help but be confused.
If Roland is really the chosen person of the gods, then the Lord of Violence will not take action against Roland even if he is angry after this incident, but he will endure until the dust settles and then kill Roland in one go.
Shooting now is simply a trick.
He had already lost a hand, the tentative attempt had failed as expected, and the prestige of the Lord of Violence had fallen to an all-time low.
If he looks for trouble again, it is really easy for Tyre to find an excuse and unite with the gods behind Roland to destroy him......
The reason why Tyre is the strongest god is that he has swallowed up many priesthoods one by one.
If Roland had been Merlin, he would have killed Roland and the twenty Skullcrushers here.
Now that we know that our enemy will come sooner or later, and they will definitely not stop, there is no need to think about what tactics to cause internal contradictions on the other side. As long as the other side has a leader whose prestige is enough to overwhelm everyone, this contradiction is harmless.
And there are gods with such leaders. But as it happens, no one knows about it.
The gods don't come and show people like monkeys—and they can't fight if they want to.
Whatever people can see to demonstrate the power of the gods is nothing more than the strength of believers and oracles.
And the Pope of Tyre is not low-key, never leaves the Holy City, and has become a "legendary" figure.
It wasn't until two years after the fall of the White Tower that Merlin, who had escaped, successfully deciphered Leila's text and realized what role Tyr had played in the war of the gods.
In Roland's opinion, since he has decided to fight sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of the other party's failure to react and slap him in the face first.
It is best to be able to smoke, and if you can't smoke, at least you will earn a slap in the face.
At this moment, a serious man in a slender black robe and a black blindfold suddenly appeared in front of Roland and the others.
He was about the same height as Robert, and nearly a head taller than Roland.
He had crisp, crisp white hair, his exposed eyes were a very light ice blue, and his black visor was covered in slow-moving silver runes.
…… Scott the Devil Dog?
Roland couldn't help but squint his eyes.
A loyal dog that has followed Anville for thousands of years...... Didn't even accompany her to leave the White Tower?
Roland realized that it was very likely that the collapse of the White Tower was not as simple as he had first understood.
"Master Merlin, please."
The stereotypical man who was wearing a wizard's robe but gave people a priestly feeling just bowed slightly to Roland and the others, and said in a very flat tone: "Please be sure to appreciate your face." (To be continued......)
