Chapter 59: The Tower of the Seven Sins
() The next morning, after having breakfast in the palace, the companions came to the king's study, and King Duris I had been waiting for him for a long time, and there was another person besides Duris: Dany
Sister Sophia, I didn't expect you to be a princess, as soon as she saw Sophia come in, Dani jumped up and grabbed Sophia's arm, and last night Sophia had already told her four companions about everything that had happened since she met Doris;
But it's in the past, and Sophia smiles at Dani's enthusiasm
Duris obviously heard Sophia's voice, but he didn't even frown, as if it had nothing to do with him, Joika saw that his old mistake was again, Uncle King, we are here, you personally 'invite' a few of us untouchables, not just for a nondescript ball, Joika shouted obliquely
Joika, how can you be unreasonable to Uncle King, Dani said with a black face
Dani, you ...... Dany's transformation surprised Joika, the girl who was alive and kicking along the way, and the girl who got along with them suddenly spoke ill of her, which couldn't help but make people feel like they were clinging to the powerful
What turned out to be Dani's mouth, in this world, except for Mr. William, only Uncle King is the best for Dani, and I don't let anyone say bad things about Uncle King
Dany's words silenced the friends, what is the relationship between this girl and King Duris, it seems that their relationship is really not simple
I'm sure you're interested in the relationship between me and little Dani, and Durris said that's one of the reasons why I've invited you to come over and discuss things
Don't sell it, you shouted angrily, but tell me what the matter related to the survival of the Pole Kingdom is
Without minding the rudeness of Ray and Joyka, Duris was still unfazed, he turned to Dani and said, "Little Dani, you sue them."
Knowing that, the king's uncle, Dani, nodded to Duris, then turned his head to Sophia, and they changed into a very serious and strict attitude, this is a tower that is dangerous to the safety of everyone in the Pole Kingdom, the Tower of the Seven Sins
The Tower of Seven Sins heard the term for the first time, and the companions looked at each other, what the hell was this
You're talking about the Tower of the Seven Sins
Yes, Karlovin replied with a smile
What kind of tower is this, I've never heard of it before, Owen shook his head
You should have heard that humanity has seven deadly sins, and the Lich King did not directly uncover the mystery, but instead asked a question that seemed to everyone on Olopa was aware
Well, according to the Holy Book of the Holy Light Cult, it is recorded that human beings have the seven original sins of anger, greed, gluttony, laziness, jealousy, and arrogance, which are the seven sins that human beings cannot get rid of
In fact, for a long time, people thought that the description of the seven sins in the Holy Book was only a warning to regulate the moral behavior of the world, but in fact, the so-called seven sins actually existed
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, and the more Owen listens, the more confused he becomes
Now the seven sins that the world knows are only stored in the "Holy Book" of the Holy Light Cult, but before the establishment of the Holy Light Sect, the seven sins have been stored in this world, Karlovin looked at Owen and saw that the latter listened to him very carefully, Karlovin smiled and continued to say that more than 10,000 years ago, that is, at the beginning of the Olopa civilization of this generation, all human beings in the world were threatened by the seven demon kings, and these seven demon kings are the source of the seven sins, they are: Paleda who dominates 'arrogance', Anvi who dominates 'jealousy', and dominates ' Slough who is lazy, Guladuni who dominates gluttony, Terrett who dominates greed, Love, Le who dominates ......
Wait, Owen interrupted Callowe's words, the seven demon kings you just mentioned belong to the demon clan, and it is recorded in the history books that the demon clan was not summoned from another world by the Poseidon clan using the secret key of the stars during the third invasion of the Poseidon clan, could it be that the history books have been tampered with
The history books have not been tampered with, and the demon clan was indeed summoned by the Poseidon clan two thousand years ago, but it is not the first time that it has appeared in Olopa, the demon clan has appeared in this world a long time ago, it should be said that the demon clan is actually the remnant of the previous generation of Olopa civilization
The last generation of the previous generation of the Olopa civilization is too far away, and now there are very few records of the ancient elven civilization of the previous generation, let alone the civilization of the previous generation
Yes, there are scholars who specialize in ancient civilizations, and they have deduced from some ancient ruins that the last ancient elven civilization perished in an internal war, and the next generation of civilization perished in a mysterious event called 'Ragnarok', but no one knows what the so-called 'Ragnarok' is, but I deduce that the demon clan is there. Ragnarok was born in the 'Twilight of the Gods', but I don't know why, the newly born demon race never appeared in the ancient elven civilization, as if it was asleep, but reappeared in the world after the ancient elven civilization was destroyed and this generation of civilization appeared
And then what
At that time, the human race carried out a large-scale resistance, I don't know how many hard battles it went through, and finally with the help of an unknown force, all the seven demon kings were defeated and sealed in a high tower, which is also known as ' Speaking of this, Karlovan paused and paced back and forth in the stone room, the seven demon kings were sealed, and the human race was also guarding the tower under the guidance of the unknown force that helped them defeat the seven demon kings, and at that time, the human race naively believed that the reason why people committed the seven deadly sins was because they were tempted by the seven demon kings, and now that the seven demon kings were sealed, human beings would not commit these sins again; Unexpectedly, the seven deadly sins come from the hearts of human beings, in the thousands of years that humans have guarded the tower, the seven demon kings have actually quietly absorbed the seven original sins emanating from the hearts of human beings, so that their power is stronger and stronger, and the human beings who originally guarded them have also fallen into the slaves of the seven demon kings, and finally the unknown force has noticed this, and they angrily descended four divine punishments that destroy the miè nature, these divine punishments include: can instantly destroy a qiē heavenly fire, The plague that infected people with extremely fast infection and contracted to death, the plague that turned people into walking corpses and killed each other, and the long-term freezing of mountains and rivers made people unable to find food, starved to death or froze to death, these divine punishments lasted for more than a hundred years, and finally cleansed most of the fallen human beings and greatly weakened the power of the Seven Demon Kings, and then the unknown forces thought that it was too dangerous to continue to imprison the Seven Demon Kings in the human world, so they destroyed the Tower of the Seven Sins and sealed the Seven Demon Kings in a mysterious other-dimensional world
At this time, Owen clasped his hands to his chest, and he listened intently, nodding from time to time
Of course, not all human beings have fallen, otherwise there is no human race anymore, and there was a group of humans called the 'Awakened Ones', who helped the unknown forces to fight against their own people, and their efforts were affirmed by the unknown forces, and the core figures of these so-called 'Awakened Ones' were taught by the unknown forces and founded a new religion, which was later known as the Holy Light Cult
Is this the history of the founding of the Holy Light Sect, I have really never heard of it, presumably the unknown force that helped mankind defeat the Seven Great Demon Kings is the God of Light that the Holy Light Sect believes in
It's not all members of unknown forces, there are many who are regarded as gods by the 'Awakened', but one of them, after sealing the Seven Demon Kings into another world, the unknown force handed over the key to open the key to that other world, that is, the 'Star Key', to the first pope of the Holy Light Sect for safekeeping, and the main task of the Holy Light Sect is to dedicate his life to the sacred duty of guarding the secret key of the satellites - at least until the Holy Light Sect degenerates
Karlovin finally finished speaking, he said too many things at once, Owen needed some time to digest, and after a while, Owen turned around and asked Karlovin a question: What you said has never been recorded in the history books, and not even a single word in the Holy Book of the Holy Light Cult, may I ask Your Majesty the Lich King, where did you learn about it
The first pope deleted this history by the will of the gods, and later this true history became a top secret in the Church, and it was handed down only orally by successive popes, and I was once the heir of the pope, and of course I knew this secret
No wonder...... I have one more question
Go ahead
You just said that the 'Star Key' was handed over to the Pope for safekeeping, so why did it fall into the hands of the Poseidon in the Third Poseidon War?
Alas...... The Lich King sighed deeply, and then he gently stroked the eternal frozen ice placed in the middle of the stone chamber with his hand, and said in a guilty tone that it was all my fault, that I had not made such a stupid deal with the Poseidon in order to resurrect Faria......
Owen didn't ask anything about this, he probably already knew what happened, and he also deeply felt Callowe's remorse, and after a while, Owen asked again: Lord Lich King, you have told me so much, I still don't understand your intentions, isn't the Tower of Seven Sins destroyed, what are you doing on this topic now, and what is the 'invitation' you are talking about
Although I have moved to the Isle of Death, it does not mean that I am ignorant of what is happening on the mainland, and for more than two thousand years, I have been monitoring everything that is happening on the three continents of Olopa, and I have paid special attention to the movements of the Holy See, and I found that the Central Church has spent more than a thousand years to rebuild the Tower of the Seven Sins, and the Tower of the Seven Sins has been rebuilt during the reign of Pope Freio I
What will happen when the Tower of Seven Sins is rebuilt?
This would be a catastrophe for all the inhabitants of the three continents of Olopa
Disaster...... This is a terrible disaster, when Du Lisi said this, his body was obviously a little shaky, and he could see that his emotions were more excited, and a legion of more than 3,000 people, plus more than 800 civilians, actually ...... in less than a second.
What Duris is talking about is what happened not long ago in the town of Epolodin, a new land that was taken from the kingdom of St. Oluphi, a town of nearly 4,000 soldiers and civilians was destroyed in an instant, and when the surrounding troops heard the news, they saw only a huge, The scorching black pit left no trace of people or objects in the entire town, and because he was too shocked, Duris had to instruct his men to declare that the town of Hipolodine had been destroyed by unknown magicians with a massive forbidden spell, just like the abandoned town of the Fayale Empire that was destroyed by the dark elf wizards
No, it was definitely not caused by magic, Cassius stood up with a bang, although it is true that a forbidden spell can destroy a town, but no matter how powerful a magician is, the time it takes for a magician to cast such a terrible magic must be very long, and it is definitely not enough to destroy a town without the slightest warning, besides, there should be no magic that can destroy everyone or everything so cleanly, and no magic will create a huge mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke after casting
Of course, I knew that it wasn't caused by any known magic in the world, and besides, Duris cleared his throat and sorted out his feelings, and the damage caused by the explosion was much more than that, and the army that had been ordered to go to the scene to investigate suddenly fell ill when they returned
Strange Sophia couldn't help but interject
Yes, the strange disease that caught all the doctors and priests off guard, those soldiers were vomiting and diarrhea at first, then shocking and coma, and then their skin was red, ulcers, hair, and teeth peeling out, and they all died in a few days, and the death was very horrible, and no one could resist it, including one of my royal knights, who later discovered that not only the soldiers who went to investigate had contracted this disease, but also the residents who lived within ten kilometers of the explosion site, and they died within a few days after they were infected
It's a strange thing indeed, Joy Ka holds her chin up thoughtfully, but what does this have to do with what you just said about the Tower of the Seven Sins
According to some residents who live nearby, many of them had seen a tower that had never existed in the western suburbs of Hipolodine before the explosion, but unfortunately those who had seen this mysterious tower were now dead, otherwise there would have been more than a little bit of information available, and Reese shook his head regretfully
I'm sure this mysterious tower is the so-called 'Tower of the Seven Sins', and Dani says in no uncertain terms that my teacher, the 'Freelancer' William Mano, was killed while investigating this tower.
