Chapter 31: The Theban Assault (Part II)
In front of the topic of wealth. Danny Stewart's wisdom became as humble as that of a cabbage worm, and he took the frighteningly heavy cowhide bag over his shoulder without questioning, "Thank you! Hey, that's heavy...... I will take good care of the gifts you have given me!Wait until the day I leave the Eastern Continent, and thank you for your kindness!" The boy of the Stewart family bowed deeply to everyone, and happily carried a bag of inexplicable clattering heavy objects and went out.
"I was wrong. Ryuji suddenly spoke, "There is a sense of guilt. ”
"Do you think he'll open it up and see it?" Jonah asked Hannah beside him.
Hannah replied without thinking, "Of course not." Although my brother is a villain who is dead-faced, wealthy, cowardly, and proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, he will definitely do what he promises others, and this can be regarded as a hooligan's way of survival. ”
Elliott said softly, "Even if it's a cultivation, a kind of cultivation." ”
"That's right! I put a brick just to cultivate, and I forgot about it after a long time! No wonder I suddenly felt so light. Sibi suddenly shouted, and swooped around the room, dazzling to watch.
After a toss by the Tantai killer, the Tianzi room was ruined, and Lord Ruochen ordered the messengers of the Lizhu Hostel to change two Dizi rooms for the Pitchfork team before he passed out, and made amends with a sumptuous supper. I don't know what to do tomorrow, but at least the current Lizhu Town is safe, and the strength that the protector just showed made everyone secretly frightened, compared to the cherry ferry where the agreement is full of problems and dangers lurking in every loophole, this town under the tower is simply a paradise. After saying goodnight, Jonah and the Rose Knight arrive at Room 3, while Dragon, Grasshopper, and Hannah live in Room 4 next door. When I walked into the room, Danny was already lying on the bed with a big cowhide bag and falling asleep sweetly, talking in his sleep while sleeping, showing a smile full of **.
Jonah was angry: "I really don't know if this guy is nervous or heartless." ”
Elliott drove the unicorn to stand in a corner of the room, but luckily the houses in the Eastern Continent were tall enough for the knight to sit up straight on horseback. "We liked Mr. Danny a lot. The knight smiled and said, "We can feel the power of the mind, no matter what the outward appearance, his heart is actually very pure, like a golden crystal without impurities. ”
The astrologer laughed, "Of course it's gold, if it doesn't shine the color of the gold coin, it's not the male of the Stewart family." ”
"I must be tired from what has happened tonight, so rest quickly, Lord Jonah, we are here for the vigil. The Rose Knight smiled and waved his hand, signaling himself to guard at the door, "Tomorrow morning...... Well, nothing. ”
The seventeen-year-old boy understood what he meant, and when the sun rose tomorrow, Elliot and Ryuki would continue their journey south, and the reunion was too short, and the parting was too long, how could such a night be in the meaningless Sweet Lands? Jonah shook his head, picked up a chair and put it on the bed, jumped on the chair and sat firmly, so that the height difference between him and the Rose Knight was shortened, and neither of them was too tired from their necks. "Eli, I'm not sleepy at all, and I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
"Of course, anything, Lord Jonah. The knight bowed his head politely.
The astrologer thought for a moment how to organize the language, sneaked a glance at the sleeping Danny, and lowered his voice: "That's right, I have to tell you quickly, the memories of the past two years are fading away rapidly. You remember that I told you that I found a clue about the seal of the gods on the sixty-ninth floor of the Tower of Trials, 'The Lone Walker from the Bitter Cold Land trekked five thousand six hundred miles and died by a grassy pool, and the man with the pointed hat buried him, but did not keep his promise to bury the walker's cloak with him. ’”
"Yes. Elliot waited patiently for the following.
"Actually, I'm not done. There is another passage on the obsidian obelisk, the meaning of which I cannot confirm and so did not say it in public. Jonah swallowed, "Eli, I need your wisdom to help me decipher. The following passage reads: 'This is three of six. Only seven of the six do not exist in the material world, and when six souls light up the six lighthouses with six keys, the seven of the six will open a bridge between the divine realm and the human world. And then there was a strange symbol, which I didn't recognize, and I didn't know, and it wasn't a language known to man, or an elven language, or a dragon, which I copied down on paper at the time, but then I thought that the paper would disappear when I left the Tower of Babel, so I put a lot of effort into memorizing it in my head. By the way, I'm going to have to draw these symbols while I still remember. ”
As he spoke, the astrologer jumped out of his chair, took out papyrus and charcoal from his deerskin bag, lay down on the bed and began to draw mysterious symbols. The Rose Knight said to himself: "The 'Three of the Six' must be saying that the tower is the third of the six towers, so this passage says that when six people light the signal on the six towers, the seventh tower that does not exist in the world will appear. If the 'Six Keys' is not mistaken, it refers to the six seals of the gods, then the seventh artifact of the legend, the seal of the god of death, Usman, will surely reappear with the seventh tower. ”
"Is that so?" Jonah turned his head with a shocked expression, "Are you saying that only when you collect all six artifacts, and six people hold the artifacts and climb to the top of the six towers of Babel at the same time, can you summon the seventh tower of Babel, and climb to the top of the seventh tower of Babel to find the mark of the god of death?"
"I guess that's the most plausible explanation. Legend has it on the mainland that the seven seals of the gods can live the dead, flesh and bones, change time and space, and have the magical power to communicate between the two worlds, more than one organization spares no effort to collect all seven artifacts, but the closest in history is only three artifacts fell into the hands of the monarch of the ancient kingdom of Veda in the southern continent, and it didn't take long for the dynasty to change, and the artifacts were scattered, and that should be the staff Sila Fina, the belt Edinmont and the sword Kurigala that fell into your hands by chance. Elliot said thoughtfully, "Since there is such a hint on this tower, then there must be more detailed clues on the other Babel Towers, but not to mention the difficulty of obtaining the other three artifacts, you must have a deep understanding of the horror of climbing the tower, Lord Jonah?"
The 17-year-old shuddered. "An experience I don't want to talk about in my life. He squeezed the words out between his teeth: "Every layer, every step, every second is full of risks, nerves must be tense like steel cables at all times, it is impossible to sleep peacefully, eating, resting, and defecating are the most vulnerable to attacks, the strange environment of cold, heat, wind, and thunderstorms, the various enchantments that limit the power of body, spirit, and magic, and countless powerful monsters and mechanisms that make the trialists grow at a deformed rate." I knew that Madame Duran would erase the trajectory of this time, so I slowed down as much as I could, and it took seven months to climb the first ten floors alone. If I hadn't fully realized the mysteries of the nuclear explosion array, I wouldn't have been able to survive the 70th floor, and that was indeed my limit, Eli, my limit for two years of rapid growth. To climb to the top of the tower is a luxury for me. ”
As he spoke, he handed the paper in his hand to the Rose Knight: "Forget it, after all, that experience is just an illusion, you see, the symbol on the obsidian obelisk looks like this." ”
"It's not any kind of writing we're familiar with. Elliott took the paper and looked at it, shaking his head: "This doesn't conform to the basic rules of mainland writing, if the order is correct, it's more like some kind of magic spell." I'm sorry, Lord Jonah, but we can't make an accurate judgment. ”
Jonah was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect that the Rose Knight, who always knew everything, was also unaware of this strange symbol. "It's okay, that's not the most important issue right now. Anyway, that's all I've got, can you help me sum it up?"
The knight muttered, "First of all, you are being chased by the enemies of the Brotherhood, who have great power in the Eastern Continent, and there is a thorny path ahead of you, secondly, the mysterious protector may appear by your side, and with the help of your companions, this path will not be alone, and third, the betrayer's prophecy is not clear, what you said' Nor did the listener's precise instructions, and we believe that the message you found in the Tower of Trials is the next step, Lord Jonah, your destiny requires you to bravely challenge the behemoth of darkness and accomplish a feat that no one or any organization in the whole world can accomplish: collect the seven Seals of the Gods. The resurrection of the chamber chief is an important purpose for this, but there is also a deeper meaning to it, and there will be a reasonable explanation for one point. ”
"Well, to put it simply, tomorrow. What should I do after dawn?" the boy clenched his fists, feeling his palms drenched with sweat.
"After a short battle at the gate of Suiyang City, the Brotherhood will be able to grasp your exact whereabouts and the chance of launching an ambush at the gate of the Lizhu Inn, which is fifty percent. Because we should drift away and head north at night, I secretly used the botanical magic 'Voldemort' to lay out a realistic march trace, which was likely to lead the pursuers in the wrong direction. On the bright side, when you leave Lizhu Town, you should immediately put on your makeup and sneak into Suiyang City to seek refuge, the Eastern Continent Astrologer Association will definitely help you, and they will not dare to attack rashly in densely populated places; Elliott said.
Jonah keenly captured the distinction between "you" and "us" and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Eli, you mean?"
The Rose Knight nodded lightly: "If the situation is critical, Miss Long Ji will definitely not be separated from you." ”
