"So why put something so important here? Neither you nor we have gone to great lengths to convince those damn fools.

This is the scar of the world, and the demons can break it at any time. Won't this tower be occupied by demons along with it? ”

A spokesman for the forces slapped the table after listening to the decision of the Church of the Four Gods, and said with some anger.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Church of the Four Gods had already explained the information of where the 12 Towers of Trials would be placed.

They agreed that it would be too unsafe to place these 12 Towers of Trials here.

Arka sat on the side of the conference table, while Shadetti and the others stood behind him.

At the conference table were representatives of various forces, followed by some people who came to the meeting together.

Hearing this, many members of the force nodded.

The archbishop of the Church of Our Lady looked at the speaker and said.

"It's a joint decision of the four gods, and don't take chances, this is the only place where we have the ability to stop the demons, if they all fall.

Although it is only a small island, I must tell you that the fall of this place means that the countdown to the destruction of the world has begun.

If you don't have the ability to go outside the world, you can defend this place desperately. ”

It's unceremoniously unceremonious, and unusually naked.

But apparently.

Everyone here knew about this, but they sat back in their seats with ugly faces.

There are a lot of these demons that I am facing now.

But for the real demons, the numbers are just like that.

The number of these demons is not limited by the number they can invade, but by the territory they occupy.

and the range of the defensive line that needs to be attacked.

The rifts of the abyss can transport demons to the battlefield on the front lines.

It's like there's no end.

But in fact, the area they occupied was the limit of the total amount of demons they could transport.

Because of the nature of demons, you can't fill the occupied area with demons. Because in that case, they may not have time to attack the enemy, and the demons themselves have already begun to fight each other in a group formation.

This is what the chaotic nature of demons brings.

Even with the current amount, the mutual consumption of demons may be more than half of the consumption generated by attacking humans.

This is the sea.

If the island falls.

Then the number of demons can be endless, day and night, constantly pouring out of the cracks.

Even if the rift leading to the abyss does not widen at all, the number of demons they will face will increase exponentially and begin to spread throughout the Infinite Sea.

All the islands will be threatened by demonic attacks, and the whole world will be in chaos, no better than the broken fragments of the world.

Originally, because it was a maritime world, it was difficult to organize an effective defense.

Once the demons are released back into the ocean of freedom, then the world will almost tolerate the suffering of the demons, and the demons will have an advantage more and more until the world is destroyed, not to mention the gods outside the world are still eyeing each other.

It was already the efforts of the four gods and their luck to be able to trap this demon and the demon's rift on the island and besiege this small land early.

Now the demons on this island are like cancer.

However, the cancer cells have not yet spread and are still able to resist them.

But once you give up on defense, the cancer cells will spread like a tidal wave to the whole world.

At that time, we can only wait slowly for death, or die in the desperate war.

Even the soul will not be able to live in peace, and it will become the food of the demons, the coins of the abyss, and be reborn from the abyss as a demon of chaos.

It is these big forces who know this very well, so they will do their best to resist it.

"Okay, instead of worrying about where these 12 Trials Towers are placed, why don't you hear what kind of functions these 12 Trials Towers can bring?"

The wise elders of the Holy Machine Church looked at them and said.

The crowd nodded.

"The 12 Towers of Trials were built by several gods from the Golden Age."

Hearing this, the representatives of all the forces were a little surprised.

They really didn't expect that the 12 towers of this black yoyo were actually handed down from that era to the present.

This means that the functions of these 12 Towers of Trials will be outrageous.

"As their name suggests, they will test anyone who enters the tower."

"But even if you don't collect 12 towers, they themselves will test those who enter." Said a representative of the forces.

Because one of the towers had been under their control before, they knew a lot about these towers of trials.

"It's just one, and when all 12 are gathered, they're going to be bigger and more powerful.

That is, after passing a certain trial, it will provide a suitable treasure for those who pass the trial for free. ”

When the words fell, it was like dropping a bomb on everyone present.

Representatives of all the forces were noisy and exchanged.

"A free treasure?"

"What kind of treasure? What does the crown level offer? ”

"Are there any requirements for those who conduct trials?"

“……”

All kinds of problems are coming.

But you have to admire the representatives of these forces, and every question is precisely to the point.

"Silence!"

A sea creature slapped the entire table and almost flew into the air, and said loudly.

This is the Storm Priest of the Poseidon Church.

In fact, it is very difficult for representatives of these forces to meet members of the Poseidon Church of this level, because they rarely attend such meetings.

If you come to attend, it means that the meeting is important.

It's a marine fisherman variant of some kind of deep-sea monster.

To be honest, it looks much more imposing than Bororo.

Of course, it should be much more hideous.

You won't think of it as a sapient creature, you'll just think of it as a monster that kills people without blinking.

But it did work, and everyone present immediately fell silent.

"These questions, why don't we let our treasure master answer them for you."

The archbishop smiled and looked at Arka and stretched out his hand.

Arka was suddenly called out and couldn't help but sit up straight.

He thought they were here to make a comeback.

The people of all the factions also turned their eyes to Arka, and they all had good-natured smiles on their faces.

None of them had ever smiled so brightly at these archbishops of the Church of the Four Gods.

No way.

They don't necessarily have a request for the Church of the Four Gods, but for a treasure craftsman like Arka, they really have a request for him.

After all, the treasure craftsmen of the whole world have only heard of Arka.

is strong, and the church can't afford to provoke it.

If you can't force it, you can only please it.

Arka coughed, cleared his throat and said, "I'm sure some of you should know that in the Tower of Trials, there are actually some powerful people who have survived from the golden age.

They were all faithful followers of the gods who built the 12 Towers of Trials.

After that, you can all call them instructors. ”

"From their mouths, it is clear that the functions of the 12 Trials Towers and the Trials Towers themselves after them will not be canceled.

It can even train the strength, will, and even spirit for the stronger people.

In contrast to training, there is also a type of trial, which is a targeted trial that focuses on the personal weaknesses of the trialist.

Fourth-stage, and those below the fourth stage, can obtain Holy Grail level treasures after participating in the trial.

You don't have to beat the level, but you have to let the instructor or even the Tower of Trials see that you have the will to forge ahead.

From Stage 4 to Stage 6, you need to pass more than half of the Tower of Trials to obtain a scepter-level treasure. ”

To be honest, the requirements are much higher than those that were cleared before Arka.

However, there is no limit to the number of treasures that can be obtained by this kind of clearance, as long as one person counts as one.

Alka, the total number of treasures that can be given is only one.

Hear Arka finish speaking.

A representative of a force was slightly relieved and then said: "Although it is a bit offensive to say this, I am indeed a little curious, where did they get so many treasures?"

Or is there a limit to the number of these treasures, first come, first served? ”

"Treasures are infinite, as long as you can pass the trial. But these treasures are two different concepts from the treasures we normally obtain, and they have the same ability to bring the same benefits.

However, it will not be left to future generations, and when the owner dies, the divinity in the treasure will automatically return to the world itself.

It is equivalent to you having passed the trials, lent to you through some technology that once existed and the generosity of the world.

Don't try to stop this process, it's a rule that is a given. ”

Hearing Arka's explanation, everyone understood.

As for how this process was done, they were very clear and did not ask any questions.

After exchanging some details with each other, everyone nodded with satisfaction.

"So where exactly are the 12 Towers of Trials located?"

Alka asked.

The members of the Church of the Four Gods looked at each other, and then they pointed to an area on the map.

To put it simply, it is a circle around the huge stone pillar in the center.

"There can be no other buildings in the center, it has to be an open space. It's also about the function of the building. Alka retorted from the side.

Hearing this, they had to re-plan the storage place.

In the end, it was simply placed in the middle of the city.

As for the administrative capital in the center, it was directly demolished and moved to other places.

Anyway, for these powerful treasure masters, building a building is not easy to capture.

Just do what you say, and soon the notice will be issued.

The administrative capital was moved to the surrounding area, and a huge square was vacated in the center, and all the buildings in the square were quickly bulldozed into an extremely large open space.

The huge open space square almost attracted a lot of people to watch, and everyone wanted to know what such a large square in the center was for?

It seems like it's going to make a big move.

You must know that the current seaport city covers an outrageous area, and the area of the city is almost the largest in the infinite sea.

After 10 years of rapid expansion, the city has become the largest and largest city in the Infinite Sea.

There must be at least millions of people gathered here now.

And there are countless powerful people gathered here, both in quantity and quality.

It only took one day and it was ready to finish.

Arka was a little surprised.

The next day he came to the square.

Standing in front of this was a large empty square, several times larger than the open space needed for a football field.

And it was full of people, all wondering what the hell was going on here.

The churches didn't hold back too much.

It doesn't make sense, after all, it's so conspicuous after it's done.

Arka clasped his hands and came to the center of the square.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he took a deep breath.

Then he opened his hands.

The 12 Towers of Trials that he had stolen and held in his hands immediately appeared.

Suddenly, 12 swarthy towers appeared, and everyone around them was startled.

They all retreated.

The 12 swarthy towers then lined up in a circle at the same intervals in the order in which the Arka had been collected.

With a rumbling sound and smoke, the tower was seated.

In front of Arka, Nafortos was once again revealed.

Looked around.

"It's a nuisance here, I smell that damn demon, are you sure you want to put it here?"

Arka nodded.

"It seems that your generation is really bold and good." It was clear that this Nafotos probably understood a certain situation, and exclaimed.

Then he looked at Arka and said, "Help me clear all the personnel in the center of the tower." ”

Arka nodded, then shared the information with the others.

All those who were surrounded by the tower in the central area retreated to both sides, and more and more people gathered around.

After all, the 12 Towers of Trial suddenly appeared in the middle of the city that had only been emptied yesterday, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Arka even sensed, not just the gaze of these people, he couldn't help but look at the sky.

Even the eyes of the four gods fell.

Even the eyes of the gods who turned their backs on the world, and even the eyes of demons, couldn't help but fall here.

"I ...... with an enterprising mind"

Like the golden energy of elemental life, Nafotos recites a prayer to the god of trials in the center of the square.

Then the power of the 12 Towers of Trials began to connect with each other.

Arka could even clearly feel the connection between each other, even deep underground.

Go deep into the space.

even went deep into his own dream realm.

Bound to the rules of the world, firmly fixed in place.

Arka finally knew why he couldn't move, because it was almost a part of the world.

Or rather, it's already part of the world.

If you don't blow the world to pieces, how can you move?

With deep roots afterward.

This is deeply rooted in order to connect the rules of time that are distributed everywhere.

After linking to these rules, the original dark appearance of the 12 Towers of Trials began to fade through the traces of time.

What Arka saw in the book of Nafotosna is revealed.

Sculptures with different meanings resurfaced on the surface of the Tower of Trials.

Suddenly, Nafortos' voice appeared in Simon's.

"Simon, I remember you had a guidance machine there that hadn't been repaired yet, right?"

Simon, who heard this, nodded.

"Throw it to me."

Simon casually took it out and threw out the half-repaired triangle from his spatial ring, which was still not repaired.

Nafotos took it, and then seemed to instill some emotion and strength into the center of the triangle.

The broken parts of the triangle were then reconstructed.

He recovered again.

"Okay, I need a break. The rest of the guidance is left to it. ”

After speaking.

Nafotos disappears.

The triangular figure seems to have regained consciousness and floats in the center.

It looked at the 12 Towers of Trial around it, and its whole body trembled.

Arka, along with the leaders of the various factions and the heads of the churches, gathered in the center.

"Alka, thank you."

The triangular body floated around and spoke, the sound of a machine, but he could feel the gratitude in the sound of the machine.

He was thankful not for saving him, but for seeing what had once only existed in his mechanical memory.

Arka smiled and said, "Let's introduce you to the Tower of Trials." ”

The triangle spun around and shook its body.

Then the story began.

The rules are still those rules.

For example, the Tower of Trials is divided into two modes: Training and Trials.

A person can only be tried once.

When is the best time to try, what stage of strength should it be, etc.

Apparently this time he knew more.

This time, the frequency of instructors in training will no longer be as difficult as before.

Because the 12 Towers of Trials have been refreshed, their essential functions no longer require certain qualifications as before, but are open to all.

As long as you have a certain qualification, you can get training.

More instructors will wake up from their slumber and once again fulfill their belief in the will of the gods and pass it on.

Soon, in a fierce competition, the first batch of 12 places were selected.

Alka looked at it.

The strength of the 12 places is from 1~6 stages, and each stage is divided into two.

Apparently for experimentation.

At this point, Arka smiled and stopped caring about it, after all, the 12 Towers of Trial were of little use to them to the truth, but they were extremely useful to the whole world.

Arka was now more concerned about the aura on the three treasures he had obtained from the newborn god.

It should be that the god of newborn has already set out to eliminate it himself, or has not used it for a long time.

The aura on it was temporarily contaminated by him during his battle with Arka.

This also shows that the newborn god has long been stripping away these divinities.
