The scene in my memory returned to the conference room again. It's just that there are fewer people in the seats than before, and seven seats are vacated in the front circle of seats.

This time, the main speaker on the podium was the new tower master of the Spirit Tower, Ferre: "...... Thanks to the sacrifices of our predecessors, we have finally made the Seven Holy Towers into weapons at great cost, and now we are going to test its function. ”

Hastings said: "For this plan, we have lost too many great mages and seniors, including my teacher who has also become the tower spirit of the Tower of Swords, you must bring me a decent thing to be worthy of their lost souls!"

"Yes. Ferrey said with a sad face, "We have done a full calculation with the refining masters of the Tower of Forging, the Tower of Origin, and the Tower of Runes, and at least in the case of our simulation, all of this is valid. As long as we succeed in the next combat test, we will be able to use it on the gods of nature. ”

"But where are you going to find a god to experiment with? The strongest among us is also fundamentally different from God. Hastings asked.

"Prophet. Ferré uttered the word slowly.

"Prophet?" Ferré's words were not only stunned by Hasting, but also by others who were unaware.

The Prophet was the one who guided them into battle with the gods, and if it weren't for the many ways in which she proved the horror and danger of the gods of nature, the mages of the Seven Towers would not have done their best to prepare for this god-killing battle. It can be said that she is the most important ally of the Seven Pagoda Mages.

"I'm sure you've all felt the divinity in her, right?" Ferrey said.

The Prophet had already explained this, and it was not surprising that she was a surviving figure from the age of mythology, and that she had divinity in her. Hastings said.

"I'm not suspicious of her identity, although she has so many secrets that we don't know. I mean, we can use her divinity to test this weapon made up of seven towers. "Unbeknownst to her, of course." ”

Hastings was puzzled, "How do you want to test the effectiveness of the weapon without her cooperation?"

"Sneak attack. "Let's set a trap and get her there, and then send a team of Seven Pagoda Mages she hasn't seen before, disguised as assassins from the Divine City, to test the power of the Seven Towers' weapons." ”

"But isn't this weapon disposable?"

"We won't test the part that will break through the space and teleport her, as long as we are sure that the Tower of Dreams can confuse him, the Tower of Spirits will be able to immobilize her soul, and the Tower of Swords will be able to control her body. The other towers are just some math problems about energy, which we have proven successful in other tests. ”

Hastings said, "I still don't understand, why don't you just tell her?"

"First, to test the confusing effect, it is most effective only if the subject is not aware of it. Second...... It's just that I can't trust her, and I don't want her to fully understand the complete plan for the weaponization of the Seven Towers.

By testing her to know the most about the effects of the Tower of Dreams, the Tower of Swords, and the Tower of Spirits, we can tell her that this is a means of preparing for a decisive battle with the gods of nature, but we can't let her know what the other towers do, and that our real plan is to exile the gods of nature. ”

"All decisions against the gods of nature are made by our own analysis, and the prophets have only put this matter before our eyes. You're too suspicious, aren't you?" said one of the mages, clearly unhappy with Ferrey's suspicions.

"I know, but I still think it's the Seven Towers' final hole card, and that this hole card shouldn't be known to anyone outside of us. ”

"Okay. I agree, but this must be carefully planned so as not to let the Prophet find any clues. Hastings finally decided.

Adriana stopped the video and said, "I didn't participate in that test, so I don't have any memories of the time, I just know that they set up a very secret trap, which also attracted the Prophet, and the Prophet did think it was a sneak attack from the Divine City. But...... The test still failed. ”

"I guess there was a problem in the initial link, right?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the God of Time, the Prophet, has no memory of how the Seven Holy Towers worked as weapons, she should have at least some impression if she tested the Sword Tower and the Spirit Tower. She only vaguely knew that the Seven Holy Pagodas had a very strong power when they were together, which may have been heard after the fact. So I'm guessing that the problem lies in the initial link, and it should be that the confusing effect of the Tower of Dreams has not taken effect, right?"

"Yes, you guessed it right. Adriana reopened a memory.

It was still the same conference room, and Ferrey was still standing on the podium, but this time he looked haggard and looked much older. Hastings still sat in the seat below, but his face was very gloomy.

Ferré said in a sluggish tone, "I'm sorry to tell you that our experiment failed. And failing in the first link, the Tower of Dreams was unable to allow the Prophet of Divine Beings to enter the illusion. We wanted to replace the battle scene with a fantasy and cover the mage who used the Tower of Swords and the Tower of Spirit to control her body and soul, but the Prophet's consciousness was almost invulnerable, and she was completely undeceived by the environment created by the Tower of Dreams. We tried three times in different environments, none of which were successful. ”

"Gregorio, is it a problem with the Tower of Dreams itself?" asked the mage.

"Nope. A tall Dream Tower mage stood up, "We've tried, and the illusion of the Dream Tower itself as a medium can deceive any of the Sages here. But there is no hole in the spirit of the prophet. It's as if you can soak any cloth with water, but you can't soak a steel plate. The problem is that the gods seem to be immune to illusions, not that there is something wrong with our illusions. ”

Ferre on the stage said: "That's it. I'm afraid that the spiritual protection of the gods of nature will be even stronger. We deduced for three days and three nights, but we couldn't find a suitable method. I can only declare the plan a failure here. ”

"Was the effort and sacrifice to transform the Seven Holy Pagodas in vain?" asked one of the mages.

Ferré moved his lips on stage, but he couldn't speak.

"No, not in vain. At this time, Hastings stood up and said, "Even if the transformed Seven Towers are not used as weapons, they have enhanced their ability to evade pursuit. If we end up losing the Battle of the Godslayer, they can also evade the Gods of Nature with this bizarre ability now. He Jin had thought of this a long time ago, this guy never had only one purpose in doing things. ”
