The world of the Dark Tower is called the Central World, a magical and decaying world, there are many ruins here, and judging from the ruins, there must have been a highly civilized world here before, but I don't know how long it has been, and the original civilization has left nothing except some ruins.

The current Central World is a medieval-like fantasy world, where some people have figured out how to use ancient equipment in the ruins, but many more are completely ordinary people, relying mainly on agriculture and animal husbandry to survive.

For Roland, after determining his location, he began to look for a portal he had used before, the portal he and Jack used when they returned to New York from the Dark Tower world, but they rarely came here after that, and now since they want to open with the portal on Jimmy's side, they must choose a hidden and safe portal, and that portal happens to belong to this type in his impression, just inside a ruin, and there is a village outside, which is more convenient for supplies or something.

It's just that the area of the Dark Tower world is not small, and even if he knows the approximate location, it will take several months to rush from here now. This is also no way, this world is completely incomparable to the earth, even the mode of transportation is very primitive walking or horseback, there are no motor vehicles and no planes, plus the number of desolate worlds and settlements is very small, it is destined that many times he has no way to hurry quickly.

In fact, there is another very important reason, because the world is decaying, and all kinds of monsters in the darkness outside the world will come to the dark tower world from time to time, Roland, as the last gunman, solves these problems and protects this world is his responsibility, which will inevitably slow down his speed of action.

Since the death of Walter Padrak, the man in black, there are no more people who have targeted the Dark Tower itself with the intention of destroying the Dark Tower and plunging the entire world into a state of monsters.

As the most powerful wizard at the time, Walter was the one who single-handedly contributed to the collective death of the gunslinger group, only Roland once absorbed a Merlin rainbow and caused Walter's magic in black to be unable to take effect on Roland himself, so that Roland survived, and Roland has been chasing Walter ever since.

It was later that Jack appeared in the world of the Dark Tower, where he stayed for a while after meeting Roland, and learned about Roland's sworn enemy, Walter.

Walter once used a child with the ability to shine and activate the weapon left over from ancient times to bombard the Dark Tower. When the Dark Tower was attacked, there were earthquakes or other disasters in many worlds, although in the end Walter was also killed by Roland, but those attacks did cause a lot of damage at the beginning, and there were many weak areas in the Dark Tower world, and monsters and demons were able to enter this world, and his actions undoubtedly exacerbated the decline of this world.

As the center of the world, the Dark Tower represents the stability of multiple worlds, and one of the responsibilities of the Gunslinger is to protect the Dark Tower.

After a few months, Roland finally found his purpose, only to find it completely deserted when he arrived at the ruins.

The village that used to be under the ruins has now been completely abandoned, and the place that used to be full of people is now overgrown with weeds, the houses are dilapidated, and many houses have been burned down, that is, the spacing between the houses here is relatively large, otherwise it must have burned one by one.

There were many decayed and dried skeletons on the ground and in the house, and it seemed that almost all the people in the village were dead at the beginning, and no one had collected the corpses since, so it could be seen that there had been no signs of human life in the area for many years.

Roland's expression was ugly, and it was here that he and Jack understood Walter's location by a psychic, and it was here that he and Jack turned on the generator to charge the portal so that he and Jack could return to New York.

It's just that at that time, because Walter's men attacked this village, they just killed those people and left immediately, without waiting for them to recover, and now it is obvious that this place was attacked after Roland and they left, and according to Walter, the man in black, he must have killed everyone here.

Roland continued to walk towards the ruins, and soon came to the portal they had used, the display on the controller did not light up, the generator outside was not working, and now there was no energy.

Roland looked around and made sure that there were no corpses or skeletons near the portal, it seemed that they had closed the portal when Walter came, and they were all concentrated in the village to clean up the mess, which also happened to save this portal from the fate of being destroyed by Walter, and his luck was not bad.

Leaving the ruins, he looked at the village below, and couldn't help but stand still, anyway, he and Jack were able to return to New York because of the portal they helped to activate, and they suffered the massacre of Walter largely because of Roland and them, and now the bones of these people were exposed to the ground and in the house somewhat unkindly.

However, there are a lot of dead people here, and Roland can't let these people be buried in the ground, and it is definitely unrealistic for him to dig so many cemeteries by himself, so he can only choose cremation.

Returning to the ruins, he packed up a temporary place to live, put his luggage away, and took advantage of this time to check the generator, but he was not very familiar with these mechanical items, but he had some understanding after staying on Earth for more than ten years in the past few years, after all, many things need to be done by himself, so even if he doesn't understand, he still roughly understands the way the generator starts.

It's been too long, open the fuel tank and take a look, Roland looked around again, and found spare fuel, so he was relieved, if he couldn't start the charge, it would be troublesome, but for the time being, it was not the time to try to start the generator, and now he had to deal with the bones scattered all over the village.

Roland packed up a large pyre, turned out some oil from the house, lit a torch and threw it over, and soon the fire burned, and soon a thick smoke floated up, Roland stepped back a little, just looked at the fire burning in front of him and missed the original encounter.

The fire burned into the evening, and from time to time Roland would throw some more wood from the dilapidated house to make sure it was completely burned, until the flames had died down and only some red-hot wreckage remained, and then he turned back to rest in the ruins.

Roland ...... My kids ......"

Roland was asleep, suddenly woke up, a low cry that was not very clear came, he pulled out a revolver in his right hand and sat up quickly, gasping and observing left and right, got up and walked in the direction from which the sound came.

Leaving the ruins and looking ahead, under the dim moonlight, a standing man in the village turned his back to Roland, and when he approached, the man turned to look at Roland, and a black man with white hair faced Roland and stretched out his right hand, "Roland, my child, come with me." ”

"Bang Bang ......"

Roland directly hit all six bullets on the black man, and the black man disappeared directly into smoke, and a dark red barrier appeared in front of Roland, and there were many black shadows moving behind the dark red barrier.

Roland took advantage of this time to immediately replenish the revolver with bullets, and raised his gun against the barrier again to wait for the other party to come out.

This kind of scene Roland has encountered many times, and the illusions from outside the world will transform into the person everyone wants to see the most, and use their desires to guide the people they target to be killed by them in a loss of consciousness.

Roland knew very well that the father in front of him was just an illusion created by the other party, so he just paused for a moment and immediately killed the other party's illusion, and when the other party came out of the barrier, he shot them back again and again.

The illusions do not only appear once, they still use Roland's own spirit to build Roland's former friends, but these hallucinations are not enough to make Roland fall into his own hallucinations and lose the ability to fight back, and after repelling several times in a row, he finally succeeded in killing the illusion, and the dark red barrier collapsed with a bang, and soon disappeared into the night sky.

Roland looked left and right again to make sure that there was nothing else unusual, and then turned back to the ruins to rest, but for the time being, he couldn't sleep.

The timing of the appearance of the phantom is too coincidental, there have been no people here for many years, and it is impossible for them to follow Roland, otherwise Roland would not feel it at all, then it is very likely that he burned these corpses to lure them over, but the reason is not clear.

The lethality of illusions is actually not very large, but for people with serious psychic loopholes, they are still very dangerous, if ordinary people can't resist the influence of illusions, it is easy to be attacked and killed by them without any defense, it is not a problem at all for experienced people like Roland, but every time they encounter them, they will always remind Roland of the past, and his mood will be very low.

During the day, Roland cleaned up the generator, there is not a lot of oil here, it seems that this generator will be completely shut down after using it a few times, you must know that no one will stop the operation of the generator after he passes, and can only wait until the oil runs out, in this way, the oil here may not even be enough for a few times, so after returning to the earth again, you must prepare something to bring back.

Roland is not a mechanic, nor is he an archaeologist, for him, the operation mechanism of these ancient ruins and ancient equipment is a complete black box, even if he has lived on the earth for a long time, he still has not learned much mechanical knowledge, but the daily use is not too much of a problem.

And when he came back this time, he forgot one thing, that is, bring a camera or camera to take pictures, and when he returns to Earth, he will study it, mainly because he doesn't have this idea at all, he still thinks that there are people in this village, just like before, he uses the people here to help open the portal, which is very convenient and he doesn't have to do it himself.

Activating the generator, he made his way to the ruins, where the previously connected wiring was still working after all this time, and the display on the controller quickly lit up.

After the device is turned on, a voice comes in, "Hello, traveler, please enter the coordinates of your destination." ”

Roland glanced at the number marked on the portal, this number was the target he returned, and in Jimmy's basement before, he also wrote down the coordinate number of the device, but he didn't tell Jimmy that if his test was unsuccessful, then there was no point in writing down the coordinate number, and if it was successful, then it would be too late to tell Jimmy about the situation.

After entering the coordinate number of the basement portal, the device beep sounded again, "Keystone earth!" ”

Several indicators lit up on the wall in front of him, and the portal in the middle of the frame was directly activated, and a flashing portal slowly turned into a translucent light curtain from a wormhole-like form, and on the opposite side was a dark basement, only the light of the portal illuminated the front part, "Earth, the portal has been opened!" ”

Roland pulled his clothes and bag on his body, walked towards the portal, and walked through the light curtain to the other side.

When the portal is generated, a lot of energy will be generated, and the clutter and frames that Jimmy placed in front of the portal wall before were directly pushed aside by the impact of the portal, and some things were even torn and destroyed.

Roland came to the wall where the controller was located and took a look, the display was still on, which meant that the energy here had not been cut off, and it seemed that everything was going well.

The portal was shown on the monitor to open, apparently because the two portals had been connected, forming a two-way teleportation channel, and when Roland clicked the close button, the portal energy was cut off, and the wall returned to its previous state.

After the portal closed, the previously lit part re-entered the darkness, he recalled the structure of the basement, slowly groped his way to find the stairs, turned on the light in the basement, and sure enough, there was a mess near the corner of the basement wall in front of him, only the part in front of the portal was very clean, and a small area was cleared by the shock wave of the portal.

Coming to the staircase, Roland pushed the secret door above, did not push, put his ear to the top and listened, and did not find any sound, it seems that Jimmy and Nia are not at home, he can only sit on the stairs and wait for them to come back.

After all, this is Jimmy's new home, and it is definitely possible for Roland to break the secret door and enter the room directly, but it is a bit too disrespectful to Jimmy to do so, anyway, he has nothing to do, it doesn't matter if he waits in the basement for a while, when they dealt with the basement before, they deliberately prepared ventilation and dehumidification equipment for the basement, so there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient air and suffocation.

Just take advantage of the moment to rest, even if you sleep in the dark tower world, you can't be too relieved, and in this basement, at least you can ensure that it is safe now, Roland just sat on the stairs and rested against the wall next to him, and soon fell asleep. (End of chapter)
