-96- The Age of Chaos

The central hall of the Tower of Shelter, in front of the statue of the god Luna.

Elder Eng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, faced the idol, closed his eyes and muttered prayers.

The hall was silent, and the falling needles could be heard until the respectful voice of the garrison soldier came from outside the door:

"Elder, Ravendain the Tempest Hunter asks to see you."

Elder Eng opened his eyes and said:

"Let him in."

The warrior saluted and withdrew, and the dusty Hafdan soon entered the hall, and he bowed respectfully to Elder Engel:

"Elder Priests, I'm back."

Elder Enge turned his wheelchair and bowed slightly:

"Come back, my child, and may the protection of the moonlight be with you."

"You did a good job on this hunt, although you didn't bring back much prey, but a Celestial Heir of the Apocalypse is much more meaningful than a sacrifice, the Central Tower attaches great importance to every Heir of the Apocalypse, and your merits will definitely be rewarded by the Tower."

Listening to Elder Engel's words, Hafdan was pleasantly surprised:

"Praise the moon god! I'm not mistaken, she's really the heir of the apocalypse?"

Elder Eng smiled slightly and nodded:

"That outstanding appearance, and the extraordinary aura that even I feel deeply stressed, plus the ability to enter the Sanctuary Tower safely...... She must indeed be the lost heir of the Apocalypse in the Land of Towers. ”

Hafdan was even more excited:

"That'...... Then doesn't the worship level of our Beishan tribe need to be adjusted? Can Lily and Hal also not be taken away? ”

This time, Elder Enge was silent.

"Elder?"

Hafdan called out urgently.

Elder Enge let out a long sigh and shook his head slightly:

"I ...... I don't know. ”

"Even if she is indeed the Heir of the Apocalypse who has been lost in the Central Tower, we are not sure which race of the Apocalypse she is, and which of them is the descendant of the Adult."

"Havedan, you are very talented, and you are the first candidate for the next Lord of the Tower of Sanctuary, and there are some things I won't hide from you......"

"Just like the status of us and the Apocalypse before, different Apocalypse also have different statuses, if she is the descendant of those big people, everything is naturally easy to say, but if she is only the descendant of the ordinary Apocalypse, I am afraid ...... Still no. ”

"No, I'm sure she must be the son of the big guys! I've also seen those emissaries from the towers, even the most noble emissaries, they don't have the same unique temperament as hers, and her bloodline must be very noble! That's right! It must be so! ”

Reflecting on the distinct elegance of Charlotte's every move, Halfdan insisted.

Elder Enge sighed:

"That won't be known until the Tower's emissary arrives, and as for Lily and Hal, I suppose...... Even if this Heir of the Apocalypse was really noble, the Tower would not let them be left behind. ”

"Why? Lily and Hal are just two simple children! They don't have the power of the beasts, and they don't have the threat of the beasts! You know it all! Everyone in the tribe knows it! ”

Elder Enge sighed:

"But they are the people appointed by the Tower, the Tower is omnipotent, omniscient, and since the Tower believes that they are infected by the power of the Old God, then they must be infected by the power of the Old God, and the Tower never allows the infected to wander outside of the Tower's control......"

Then he comforted:

"Hafdan, you don't have to worry too much, it's not a bad thing to send them to the central tower, the tower is omnipotent, and the infection may also turn into a blessing......"

"Once they go to the Tower, they will not only be able to get rid of the curse, but they will also be able to become the noble Chosen One, and receive the gift of union with the Heir of the Apocalypse or even the Apocalypse!"

Hafdan shook his head:

"No, I don't expect them to be the Chosen One, they all say that the Chosen One is the highest honor for us mortals, but once chosen, they will never be able to leave the Tower and will serve the gods and the Apocalypse for the rest of their lives......"

"Lily is a free child, she hates to be tied down, and Hal is an introverted child, and when she encounters grievances, she will only suffer silently by herself......"

"I don't want them to lose their freedom, and I don't want them to face the apocalypse who have the power of gods!"

"Hafdan! Don't be rude to the Apocalypse in front of the moon god! ”

Elder Enge's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly reprimanded.

Hafdan was still unconvinced, and Elder Eng sighed softly and said helplessly:

"Hafdan, think about it, even if you lose your freedom, you can live a better and safer life than our tribe by serving the gods in the central tower."

"Not to mention, without the power of the Tower, how long will your child be able to survive the corrosive power of the old gods?"

"Yes, it is true that they do not have the strength of the beasts, but I think you should be able to see their weakness, we are mortals, and mortals ...... It is impossible to withstand the power that it should not bear. ”

"Havedan, go back and think about it."

"Could it be...... Is there no other way? ”

Hafdan was still a little unwilling.

Elder Enge pondered for a moment and said:

"Actually, if you really don't want your child to leave, there is another way......"

"Elder, what is the solution?"

Hafdan suddenly became excited.

Elder Enge looked at him and said:

"If there is an Apocalypse or an Apocalypse Heir who accepts your children as followers, they naturally don't need to go to the tower to serve the gods, they only need to serve the suzerain."

"But...... You see, to be a follower of the Grace of the Apocalypse is in a sense the equivalent of losing your freedom. ”

Facing the meaningful gaze of the priest elder, Hafdan's heart moved slightly, thoughtful.

"There is no absolute freedom in the world, and everyone is just living in different shackles...... Hafdan, I'm a little tired, you can go back and think about it. ”

Elder Enge sighed slightly and gave the order to expel the guest.

Hafdan opened his mouth and nodded slowly.

He bowed respectfully, then turned to leave.

Just before he could leave the hall, though, Hafdan stopped again.

I saw him turn around, hesitate for a moment, and say:

"Elder, the Apocalypse is our Savior who saved the world from the midst of the demonic calamity."

"I have never doubted this, and I have always had respect for the Apocalypse, who in my mind have always represented the most noble and noble beings in the world."

"It's just that, even without mentioning my children, our tribe has raised the standard of worship three times in a row in the past three years, which is beyond the ability of many of our clansmen......"

"Elder, you said that the Apocalypse is a merciful patron, but...... Can they really do this forever? ”

Elder Enge's face changed slightly, and he rebuked:

"Hafdan! Watch your words! This is the Sacred Tower of Protection! ”

Hafdan hurriedly lowered his head and said:

"Sorry...... Elder, I was impulsive. ”

With that, he turned and left the hall.

Seeing Hafdan's figure disappear from view, Elder Eng put away his anger and looked complicated.

He let out a long sigh and said to himself:

"Kindness? Even if they are no longer merciful, what can they do? ”

"After all...... It is we who need to rely on the protection of the strong to survive......"

"This is a chaotic world where even gods will fall, and we mortals with no power are just ants who can survive."

This chapter is made up for last night, and there is another chapter in the evening.
