"Hmm. ”

Conou crossed his arms and scrutinized the treasure. Although he wanted to rush over and immediately ask for the treasure ...

"Something didn't feel right. ”

It's strange, why would they leave their treasure to anyone in broad daylight?

"Feels like a trap, doesn't it?" Conou asked Granno.

"Is it possible?" said Grano, "I think it's best to look around and come back and look for the treasure." ”

"Hmm. ”

Cono nodded.

He could not forget his experience in the tomb of Bescarmen I, where he fell into a trap and came out of the dungeon with his bare hands.

Here, however, he was forced to ignore the treasure in front of his eyes...... He couldn't easily remove the treasure.

Seeing this, Granno said, "The treasure won't be dispersed no matter what, so let's go into the tower first." ”

"Mr. Grano is right," Ed said. If you are too greedy, you may lose everything again. ”

"I understand. ”

Please wait for me.

Conou glanced at the treasure regretfully and forced himself to leave it.

Soon after...

Conou's team stood in front of the entrance to the tower.

The entrance is closed by a solid stone door.

Ed tried to force the door open, but it refused to budge.

"It looks like it's locked up," Ed said.

Grano approached the gate and pointed to the inscription written in the ancient tongue of the Bariton desert.

"What it says at the gate is: Courage completes wisdom. ”

"I think I've heard it somewhere before. ”

Ed frowned. He could have sworn that he had heard about it somewhere.

"We saw it before we defeated the Golem," Conou said.

"Ah, you're right. That's when we saw it!"

Ed clapped his hands.

"It must be asking you to prove that you have both courage and wisdom. ”

Granno stretched Tulu's slate towards the gate.

As soon as the soft light shone on the door, the ancient letters of the gate also began to shine.

Squeak.

Huge gates open on both sides.

[You've found the Tower of Wisdom.] ]

[You're the first to discover it.] ]

[Fame increases.] ]

"Tower of Wisdom, huh...... Have you heard of it before?" Conou asked Grano.

"It's the first I've heard, but it does have a connection to Tulu. ”

Granno said obviously.

After all, the gate can only be opened with Tulu's stone slabs, and the tower is known as the "Tower of Wisdom".

"We don't have any information about the tower, so everyone is on their guard," Conou said. We don't know what to expect there. ”

Ed and Granno nodded.

"Let's go. ”

Con'ou entered first due to his vigilance of his surroundings.

Grano and Ed followed.

"Hmm. ”

Conou inspected the interior of the tower.

First of all, it's bright. He didn't see anything that particularly lit up the tower, but it was still bright.

There is a direct passage with high ceilings. Both walls are covered with frescoes.

"Oh. ”

Grano seems to be interested in the murals.

"What's wrong?, did anything catch your attention?" Ed asked.

"The murals use a variety of letters, shapes, and meanings that are found throughout the continent of Arth. ”

"Well, since you mentioned it, it's also fresco letters," said Ed, who studied the mural carefully.

"Yes. This mural is a dictionary of Arthur's letters," Grano said.

"Dictionaries? Why do they add dictionaries to the murals?"

Ed tilted his head.

"I think we'll find out," Conou said.

Conou's procession takes place in a passage filled with frescoes.

When the passage ends, they find themselves in a wide space.

"Is this the library?" asked Conou.

"There are a lot of books here," Granno said. ”

There are a large number of books in the tower, as they say.

There are countless bookshelves filled with books.

Ed, who usually likes to read books and is interested in books, is excited.

He quickly checked the books.

"I can't. ”

Ed's eyes widened.

"What's wrong?" Conou asked, as Eder was reacting unusually.

"P.S., please give me a moment. Edel stammered and tried to pull out one of the books.

The book is called "Glenchol's Travels".

"Well, this book won't be published. ”

Ed tried to get the book out, but it wouldn't be published at all.

"What is this?

"I'm not sure about the price, but the book is listed in 100 Lost Masterpieces," Ed said. ”

"So, the book doesn't exist anymore," Conou said. ”

Then, it should be expensive.

Then, Grano, who had been checking the books, pointed to another book.

"This book is the same. ”

The book he was referring to was written in ancient script from the Bariton Desert.

"What kind of book is this?" asked Ed.

"It's called < how to make Bescarmen silk >. The method of creating Bescarmen silk (it should be my headscarf made with this method) should be written inside. ”

Grano pointed to his hanging turban.

"You said the method of creating Bescarmen silk is gone," Conou said.

"Yes. But there are still records here. But I can't take the book out and look at it, so I don't know if it's true. ”

Grano shrugged his shoulders.

"It seems to be a place to store knowledge," Conou said. There are also hidden forces that make it impossible for us to hold books. ”

Grano nodded, as if he agreed with Conou's hypothesis.

"How do we get these books out?"

Edel looked anxious, as if he was desperately waiting for someone to finish the bathroom.

"I don't know. ”

Con Ou shook his head.

Ed looked at Granor desperately.

"I'm not sure at the moment. ”

Grano shook his head as well.

"Ahh ”

"There's a staircase over there that leads to the next floor. Let's go to the second floor. ”

Grano points to the spiral staircase.

"I wonder if there's something on the second floor. It would have been a good choice if there were gold bars instead of books......"

Con'ou walked up the stairs.

"Maybe we can take some books," Ed said. ”

"We'll see when we get there. ”

Grano followed.

Conou's team ascended the stairs on the second floor.

There are several rooms on the 2nd floor.

There is a bedroom with a stone bed, a meeting room with a round table and chairs, and a studio with a workbench. In addition, there is a kitchen, storage room and bathroom.

"Hmm. Someone must be living here. Probably a member of the Truth Organization," Grano said.

"Probably. Con agreed.

"Then why don't we see anyone?" asked Ed.

There are traces of people living here, but no one.

"I'm not sure..."

Grano stroked his chin.

"Now let's take a look at the third floor. ”

Conou walked up the spiral staircase and ascended to the third floor.

In the center of the third floor there is an altar.

The ceiling is open and topped with a crystal that illuminates the entire hidden oasis.

However, Tulu's slate shoots straight ahead like a laser.

Its light came into contact with the altar.

"Why did you do that?" Eder's gaze alternated between Turu's slate and the altar.

"It must mean that we need to put the slabs on top of the altar," Conou said. ”

Conou's team walked to the altar.

He's right. In the center of the altar there is a groove commensurate with the size of a stone slab.

In addition, the light of the slate also shines on the grooves.

"Should I put the slate in it?" Grano asks Conou and Eder for advice.

"It could be a trap. ”

Cono looked worried.

It was still clear in his mind. When he opens the key to the tomb of Bescarmen I, the whole place sinks in.

"Hmm. I'm not sure, but I don't think it's a trap because the slate of Tulu has always led us here. If it's a trap, then it won't lead us here at all," Grano said.

Because they have Tulu's slate to open the door. In addition, Tulu's slate glows, effectively telling them to put it into the groove.

Grano thinks there are advantages.

"Please put it in the groove. ”

"Do you approve of it, Mr. Ed?"

Ed nodded.

"Yes. ”

Grano carefully placed the slate inside the groove.

It's a perfect fit.

That moment!

Shiver.

The tower trembled slightly.

"No way!"

Con frowned. This is what happened before the last time it happened at the tomb of Bescarmen I.

Edel instinctively looked up to check if the ceiling was falling.

"pH. ”

Ed breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that the third floor originally had no ceiling.

That moment!

The slate emitted a powerful pillar of light.

[A god is called.] ]

[You've proven your worth.] ]

[Tulu, the god of wisdom, responds to you.] ]

The pillar of light was gone.

Soon, an old man appeared on the altar with a long question mark in his hand.

The old man's hair, eyebrows, and beard were all white, like snow. He also seems to be short-tempered and fussy.

The old man said, "Do you call me?"

He looked angry.

"Are you the god of wisdom?"

Con's eyes widened in disbelief.

He was too unattractive to a god. He looked like the stern old man next door.

"Definitely. I am the god of wisdom, Tulu!"

Turou greeted his staff with the question mark at the altar and spoke with the utmost dignity.

There was silence for a moment.

"Oh, my body is sore. ”

Turu suddenly supported his back and sat down on the altar.

"Dude, you're getting older, you really have to keep going. Tooru put down the question mark and said.

He rubbed it all over his body with both hands.

Conou and Ed glanced at each other.

"Is this guy a fake?"

"It does seem so. ”

However, Granno lowered his head.

"Lord Turou. It's an honor to get an audience with you. ”。

His expression was serious and melancholy.

"Haha," Touru laughed.
