"Spectacular, the Black Tower is a relic left by the gods, we have lived under the blessing of the gods for generations" Arya's voice pulled Wright's back, with a hint of pride in her tone, as if to say that although you have magical magic, we also have great gods, Philip will also be surprised speechless, Wright only noticed that the surroundings of the Black Tower are still as previously guessed, there are some ordinary stone and wood houses, but they are more simple than expected, and even a little dilapidated.

Wright looked up at the cloudy weather, remembered the last time he came, and asked, "You've never been in a storm before?" I know what you're thinking, the weather here has always been like this, there are very few sunny days, such cloudy weather is already good, most of the time it is so dark and oppressive weather, storms will come from time to time, but this island is protected by the gods, so it will not be affected by this, the storm will not blow on the island, the weather is too gloomy and the black tower will light up the whole island, we are all safe here, it doesn't matter if the house is dilapidated at all, anyway, it won't leak rain and wind. ”

Wright was a little surprised when he heard it, and thought that the so-called gods here were just superstitions in backward areas, but he didn't expect them to be real and effective, but even so, Wright didn't believe that there was such a thing as a god, at most it was just a strange ancient ruin, which was found and used by the people who were displaced on the island, and it was nothing more than that.

"Do most of you live in the Black Tower?" Filiel asked, Arya shook her head, "No, all of us live in those houses around the Black Tower, and now only the Elder lives alone in the Tower, in fact, most of the Tower cannot be reached, looking at some windows above the Tower, but I can't find the way up, only the ground floor is open." ”

Wright looked at the sparse houses around the tower, there were far fewer people in this village than he thought, "Don't be stunned at the entrance of the village, let's go in quickly." Arya took the two of them and walked inside, and Wright had no choice but to let this enthusiastic little girl go, most of the people in the village were very leisurely, playing and chatting with nothing to do, and the two strangers who came in attracted their attention at once, and many people could not figure out what was going on.

The two people who were close to him walked over, and Wright thought they were going to question, but he was shocked when he opened his mouth, "Welcome the Holy Maiden back." "What did you just say, saint, just this wild girl in front of you, Arya looked at the surprised expressions of the two of them, and laughed, "Why are you two so surprised, it's not a big deal." The two villagers looked at all this in bewilderment, "Who are these two people?" "They are guests sent by God, and I am entertaining them." They really believed this unreliable answer, nodded and walked away, but Wright thought of the title of the saint just now, and it was not very surprising, Arya took the two of them and continued to walk forward.

Later, under Alia's explanation, the doubts of the two people were slowly solved, the so-called saint is actually just a chore, there is no right or any special care, at most it is to get a little extra respect from others, before the death of the previous saint, the next one will be selected among the women of the right age, and after entering the Black Tower, she will not come out again, and no one will see her again.

"This time, I am the only girl of the right age, and I can't even choose, and the last saint has passed away, so I said that only the elder is here now, and I will have to be eighteen years old in two years before I can officially become a saint and enter the Black Tower, but the elder said that the short vacancy is not a big deal. Wright listened to the unbelievable, such an unreasonable thing actually happened all the time, and no one ever had any doubts about it, "You just accept this arrangement, spend your whole life in the Black Tower, and you are not the slightest unwilling?" Wright asked with a frown.

Arya was a little lower for the first time, her expression showed a hint of indifference, and she whispered to Wright, "So what, the island is so big, I've already played with it, what's the difference between being in the tower or on the island, in this case, what does it matter if you make some sacrifices to the gods, but my only regret is that I didn't leave the island to see" said this, Arya was refreshed again, "So the gods sent you, let me see so many magical things, and it can be regarded as fulfilling my wish." ”

Looking at her happy appearance, Wright somehow felt a little panicked in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, this is someone else's life, other people's rules, do you really have the qualifications to question it, Philip asked a question at this time, "The saint was chosen like this, how did the elder replace?" Arya looked puzzled, "Why did the elder change, he won't die, he has been guarding us on behalf of the gods for generations." ”

Before Wright could be surprised, several people had already walked up to the Black Tower, and Arya went up and knocked on the huge door, and the door opened immediately, moving silently, and she couldn't feel the weight at all, if Wright hadn't touched it when she entered the door, she would have thought that the heavy door was a phantom.

The tower was very dim, without any lighting facilities, only by the open door and the high hanging windows on both sides, but the weather outside was also cloudy, and the light shining in was faint and pitiful, Wright only saw a large blurred black shadow, so he had to explore it with a spiritual sense, the hall was very simple, there was a huge ball in the center, and the curved staircase behind the ball led to the second floor, and there was nothing superfluous.

A voice came from the stairs, "Arya, what's the matter here?"
