"What?" Jonah didn't react for a moment. But Elliott was the first to speak, "Of course we are willing to accept this gift, Lady Duran. If you're not mistaken, the reason for this is that the entire Tower is now part of the Black Cat Cafe, and you have absolute control over the time and space inside the Babel. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if Lord Jonah makes any nonsense to reject your kindness, it is only on the spur of the moment, so please don't take it seriously. ”

"I refuse!" the astrologer immediately shouted.

"Look, that's it. The Rose Knight spread his arms helplessly, "Don't take it seriously. ”

The 17-year-old boy turned to look at the knight and said anxiously: "What are you doing, Eli, I really don't want to accept this gift, with my current strength, I can't climb much if I enter the Tower of Trials, isn't it a waste of time? If you want to go, it should be you, Long Ji or strong people like Sibi and Hannah to enter." ”

"Yes, the strong. Danny Stewart smugly pointed to the tip of his nose, "Wait, did you deliberately skip my name, friend?"

Elliott smiled: "No, a world has the rules of a world, we believe that Madame Duran's gift cannot be transferred, this is a rare opportunity, go bravely, and please pay attention to safety." We don't know the rules inside the Tower of Babel, but judging from the exits that appear every 10 floors, it's important to believe that 'give up at the right time', so remember to do what you can. ”

The proprietress pursed her lips impatiently, and patted the flour on her apron: "Have you discussed it?" Hurry up and send you in and we'll call it a day, oops, oops...... Where will you open a store next time? Don't look for the Black Cat Cafe again, everyone!"

Biler echoed with a sad face: "That's it. It's almost my job to die again and again. There is no overtime pay. ”

The red-haired Jofanie smiled, "I really like these customers, and the black cat must like them too, otherwise he wouldn't be in front of the Pitchfork team again." ”

"Well, I accept the gift, Madame Duran. Jonah finally nodded heavily. His heart was filled with uneasy trepidation, and no one knew what kind of mechanisms and monsters were hidden in the Tower of Babel, which was high in the clouds. According to Long Ji's introduction, every year, thousands of warriors with dreams flock from all over the Southern Commercial Kingdom, waiting for the door of the Tower of Trials to open to them, and only less than one percent of the lucky ones can pass the selection of the tower and climb the first step of the mysterious tower, and less than one percent of them are super lucky enough to retreat from the Tower of Trials and return to the ground with scars and soaring strength.

Their fate will be completely changed, the mainland has never lacked reverence for the absolute strong, the army of the Southern Shang Kingdom, the major family forces and various guilds have arranged eyeliner in the Lizhu Hostel, every time the "Bronze Gate" is opened, the moment when the trialists return, it is the moment when the various forces compete openly and secretly, and compete for the newly born strength, which is nothing less than a unique celebration for Lizhu Town. One in 10,000 is lucky enough to be treated with more than 10,000 people, which sounds logical, but no one cares about the losers who are swallowed by the tower, the space inside the tower is layered and independent, and the trialists will not meet each other, so the bones of the victims will be buried in the tower forever, and they will never see the bright daylight again. Now many of the powerless people who linger outside the Pearl Lodge are the friends and family of these trialists, they hold a glimmer of hope to stay in this town for a long time, waiting for the triumphant return of the trialists, a year, five years, ten years, time passes, they can only be reduced to wandering spirits outside the town after spending all their money, but it took the longest trialist in history to spend fifteen years and four months to leave the tower from the thirtieth floor, who knows if when the sun rises next, their relatives and friends will come out of the bronze gate?

Each tower has three gates: the "Black Iron Gate" where the trialists enter, the "Bronze Gate" where the trialists leave halfway, and the "Silver Gate", the path for the trialists to reach the top of the tower and conquer the tower once and for all.

"You can bring anything you want, bed crossbows, chariots, cannons, anything. This tower is very strange, I can only help you open the door and erase the mark of time and space, but I can't figure out what is going on inside, and if you die, you won't be responsible. Lady Durán walked up to Jonah and placed her right hand on the astrologer's shoulder, adrift away from her responsibilities.

Hannah walked over, her eyes full of worry, and reached out to hand the magic musket "Admiral" in her arms to the boy, "What are you doing, ruined sister? You won't touch that gun, and you just give it to outsiders? The little good stuff left in the Stewart family is going to be lost!" Danny immediately jumped to his feet and shouted, while quietly tucking the short sword he wanted to give to Jonah back under his sleeve.

"No, thank you, Hannah. It's enough for me to have them, after all, I'm an astrologer, and I'm going to fight in my own way. Jonah raised his staff, and Silafina gestured to Hannah.

At this time, Ryuki walked up to the astrologer, leaned down and whispered something to him. "What?" said Jonah in a daze, the scent of orchids on the Oriental woman's body, the tingling sensation of her hair brushing her neck, and the warmth of her gorgeous lips like impatiens made his heart surge, and his ears buzzed, and he couldn't hear what she said for a while. Ryuki shook her head, leaning closer to Jonah's ear and repeating it.

"Huh?" Comprehending the woman's secret words, the third-level astrologer looked even more confused, "You mean, there is no tower with such a ......"

Ryuji held up a finger, "Shhh ”

Durlan said, "Okay, okay, let's go." ”

The Oriental woman stood beside the Rose Knight, looking at him silently with dark eyes. Danny gave a thumbs up, but Hannah turned around, as if she couldn't bear to experience the separation. "Come on, brother!" Sibi sat on the shoulders of the head of the room, waving his little fists vigorously, "Uncle and I will be waiting for you here!"

"It's so grand, it's not a scene from a knight's novel......," the proprietress commented with a pout, "It's over before you all know it, if this blue-clad kid is still standing here in a second, it means that he has successfully passed the trial of 'Lizhu', if he disappears, it means that he has been swallowed by the Tower of Babel, then there is nothing I can do, after all, luck is also part of strength." ”

"A second, it's been a second when you're talking, lady!" called the Stewart man.

"yes, so it's over. Mrs. Durand winked at her fellow Pitchforks, her eyes as bright as two morning stars. Her right hand was still resting on the astrologer's shoulder, as if it had never moved, and the pale young man in the blue astrologer's robe, with curly hair and a staff in his hand, did not change, not even the slightly panicked expression on his face.

"Well, well done. The proprietress patted the boy on the shoulder.

The change did happen, and everyone noticed that D. Jonah II's eyes had changed drastically, and if the previous astrologer had a pair of clear, innocent, confused eyes, then a second later, the blue-robed warlock's pupils had completely erased the innocent beauty and youthful confusion, and transformed into a gaze as firm as a night torch.

"Ah, everyone. Jonah spent half a minute looking at his mates in the field, and a long-lost smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's great that I haven't seen you for so long, and you're all still here......"

Danny looked at him strangely, "What are you talking about, it's only for a second." ”

"Two years, Danny, two years. The astrologer looked down at his body with a strange look, "I kept climbing upwards, fighting countless monsters, there was no sun rising and moon setting in the tower, and in order to remind myself not to forget the passage of time, every time the moon spirit was able to be summoned, I put a pebble in my pocket, and by the time I left the exit on the seventieth floor, the pebble had already fallen to my feet. I counted seven hundred and thirty stones, and I spent two years in the Tower of Babel in the darkness. My body is growing, I'm growing...... But that's just an illusion, isn't it, Madame Duran?"

The proprietress replied, "Your time and space are zeroed, you can take this memory as an illusion, in fact, it won't be long before you gradually forget this unreal past, because after all, it is not what happened in the time and space you live in." But the change you have had from this experience is real, and although your spirit, life and body are still the same, you must have gained a deep understanding of what you once had, and this knowledge and experience is my gift to you. In the days that follow, you don't have to fumble around on the road to becoming stronger, the right direction is already unfolding before your eyes. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Duran. Jonah raised his right hand and looked at the empty palm, "This is a very valuable asset." ”

"Whew, it's finally done. Madame Durand stretched and yawned tiredly, "It's tiring, Bill, Jolfanie, let's go." ”

Jofanie reminded, "Boss, I saw Serfina's traces in their memories, don't you want to do something to that woman?"

"I'm not in that mood today. Those who abuse the law of cause and effect will always be punished by the law of cause and effect, and no one can cheat the rules forever. The proprietress waved her hand, "Goodbye, annoying guys, I hope never again." ”
