Located in the eastern part of the Mystic Tower Federation, there is a small city called "Gray Tower City", and the reason why it got its name is naturally because there is a magic tower called "Gray Tower" in the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A high-ranking mage named Ronald Hart built this magic tower, and later around this magic tower, the inhabitants slowly gathered, and eventually formed the city.

A city full of the characteristics of the Mystic Tower Federation, similar to many other cities.

But there are some differences, such as the fact that the Hart family, the most prominent of the city, believed in neither the great mysteries nor the human gods, but a slightly more obscure deity, the god of scholars.

The god of scholars is the subordinate god of the Lord of mysteries, and the weak divine power. He doesn't have many followers, and probably the most important of them is the city of Greytower, led by the Hart family. Over the past 400 years, with the establishment of the Hart family and the gathering of people from all over the continent who believed in the god of scholars, the city has gradually become a place similar to the holy city of the Church of the God of Scholars.

Of course, a city where less than half of its inhabitants believe in a certain god is not qualified to be called a holy city—a holy city that is either inhabited by a god, or has a high historical status, or is pure enough in faith. An example of the former is the Holy City of the Church of the Void Mask, "Void City", and the latter example is the "Supreme Tower", the capital of the Mystic Tower Federation, as for the last one...... This is the case in many cities, such as the former city of Garth, and later the city of Rem.

Although the Hart family has been working hard to make Greytower a sacred city for the Church of the Gods of Scholars, they know at least that for now, or until a little more than a month ago, this effort has not been able to succeed.

After that, it will never succeed again.

Because, the god of scholars fell in the war between the mystical god system and the human god system.

The fall of a god is, of course, an earth-shattering event. Although there was more than one god of scholars who fell in that war, and the god of scholars was not the most powerful god to fall in that war, it really felt like the sky was about to fall for the people of Gray Tower City, especially for the people of the Hart family!

Why did the great god of scholars fall?! He was so kind, so kind, so indisputable!

But no matter how surprised and angry they were, the fall of the god of scholars was still an indisputable fact.

Despite this, the people of Gray Tower City did not give up their belief in the god of scholars, they still prayed every day, and the members of the Hart family even built the square in front of the magic tower into a large-scale sacrificial circle, and brought a group of priests to hold a ceremony in the circle every day, hoping that through their own prayers and wishes, the fallen god of scholars would get enough faith and be resurrected again.

Theoretically, this is entirely possible. Even if the gods fall, with enough faith and some suitable opportunities, they can indeed be resurrected. There has been more than one god in history who was resurrected after the fall and staged a living "return of the king".

But theories are just theories after all, there are so many fallen gods, and only how many have been resurrected?

At least, the people of Greytower had prayed for a long time, and they had not seen the slightest sign of the resurrection of the God of Scholars.

In this situation, they become more and more nervous and do not know what to do.

Then the Church of the God of Nobility and the Church of the God of Knowledge came to preach.

The two churches have different attitudes and different doctrines, but one thing is the same...... They all declared that the god of scholars had fallen completely, that there was no possibility of resurrection, and that people should abandon their meaningless belief in the god of scholars and turn to their arms.

This statement is not necessarily wrong, but it is a bit hateful.

Ordinary residents are just that, the Hart family is not small, and the patriarch is a high-level mage who controls a magic tower, and when he learned about it, he was furious and roared: "Who said that my lord cannot be resurrected!

Then, he led the mage regiment and the city defense army to wipe out the two churches. Drove them out of the city, declaring them unpopular and forbidding them to step into the city's sphere of influence.

This is not a small matter, but it is not a big one. For the current residents of Greytower City, it is not a big deal other than trying to resurrect the God of Scholars......

The days passed, but there was no sign of resurrection from the God of Scholars.

On this day, a junior of the Hart family was praying in the square.

"Young Master Owen, Young Master Owen!" an old voice interrupted his prayer, it was the old butler who had taken care of him since childhood.

"What's wrong?" Owen Hart respectfully saluted the statue of the God of Scholars, as if the aura on the statue had not yet dissipated, before standing up and walking outside the sacrificial magic circle, asking suspiciously.

The old butler's expression was a little complicated, a little nervous, a little uneasy, and a little relieved and relaxed. Seeing Owen Hart come out, he smiled and said, "Master told you to go home." ”

Owen was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that his grandfather and father, who had spent more than ten hours of prayer here almost every day, were not there.

Not only that, but many people in the Hart family are not there.

(It's weird, where did everyone go?)

He had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and left the square with the old butler and returned to the magic tower.

As soon as he stepped into the magic tower, he was slightly stunned in his heart, and keenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.

The Gray Tower is different from ordinary magic towers, it is not only a magic tower, but also a holy relic that condenses a large amount of divine power, and it is a treasure that is almost equivalent to an artifact of the Church of Scholars. Walking inside this magic tower, you can not only feel the magic power everywhere, but also feel the warmth and kindness, and the divine power of the scholar god who is full of tranquility and long-distance temperament.

However, since the fall of the God of Scholars, the divine power that permeates the tower has dissipated. This makes many people who have long been accustomed to this environment very uncomfortable, and they always feel empty in their hearts and uncomfortable.

Owen is one of them.

He was not a devout believer, but the god of faith in scholars had become a part of his life, a habit, etched in his soul.

From the beginning of his birth, he grew up feeling the divine power of the god of scholars, and he has long been accustomed to this power. Therefore, although he is not a particularly devout believer, he still prays earnestly every day, hoping to help the god of scholars to be resurrected and restore his old life.

And today, in the magic tower, he once again felt the divine power of the god of scholars!

"Your Majesty...... Are you resurrected?" he asked, surprised and delighted.

The old butler's expression was a little complicated, he didn't say anything, just led him silently.

They soon came to the top floor of the Magic Tower, the prayer hall.

However, in the prayer hall, Owen does not see the resurrection of the god of scholars, but a plausible figure.

"Hello, young son. The figure smiled and said, "I am the successor of the god of scholars, the god of knowledge and culture, Wal. (To be continued.) )
