Alan looked in the direction of her finger and saw that she was talking about the Rainbow Tower, which was located in front of them to the right.

From the moment they first arrived at Rose Square, Alan found that the Rainbow Tower seemed to be not far from them, and if they went out from the north exit, they should only be one street away. It's just that at that time, they were busy enjoying the scenery and making wishes, and when Cecilise passed out from heat stroke, they ignored this for the time being.

"Guardian Statue Monument...... That's what it's really called......" Alan muttered as he looked up at the tower. Observing it from such a close distance really shocked him.

"Yes...... The Rainbow Tower is just another name given to him by the locals, and that's what it really is. Rare's voice suddenly came from behind him, and he just pushed the door out.

Compared to just now, he looks much calmer now. It's just that his face is still expressionless, as if he is trying to suppress something.

"I suggest that instead of looking here, let's go over there first, so that I can tell you more about it...... Please follow me. With that, Riel led the way down a path, and it seemed like he wasn't going to go back the way he came.

When they saw this, they all hurried to follow.

This path was different from the others, there were no shops on either side, and there was no sign of inhabitation, and it was somewhat similar to the roads leading to the Rose Curtain Wall, except for the fence and wall.

"Was it built specifically for those two towers......" Alan looked at both sides, and couldn't help but guess.

The road was not long, and they soon came to the end.

Alan had expected a street like the one that had been at every exit before, but it surprised him...... What appeared in front of them was a neatly arranged line of gray-white stone steps, and there was no end in sight......

Alan couldn't believe his eyes, calmed down a little, looked at it more closely, and found that ...... Yes, it is true that you can't see the head at a glance, neither in height nor width......

These were just stone steps, but he couldn't find the words to describe them...... After thinking about it, he realized that only the word "magnificent" was the most appropriate......

When he first entered the school before, he was already amazed by the row of high steps in front of the library, but now that he saw this, he realized that the steps in front of the library were completely small compared to here.

"This is the place where everyone who wants to reach the foot of the monument must pass through - the 'pilgrimage steps'. Riel jumped to the stone steps, stepped on the stone under his feet, and said, "If it's your first time here, you might mistake it for a hill built on top of it...... But in reality, they are all made of this kind of stone. ”

Stairs of the same height as a mountain...... Hearing this, Alan couldn't help but be in awe: how many people and how many days did it take to build this......

Looking up again, I couldn't count how many steps there were, which inevitably made a few people a little discouraged.

And when they did take the first step, they found that each step here was much higher than the rest of the place, so it seemed much more difficult and laborious to climb. If you usually walk the steps that only require you to lift your feet, here you need to bend your knees at 90 degrees to get up, and it is not the kind of steps that you can climb up one step with every step, and here you have to take two steps to climb the next one step after climbing one floor.

However, since they had already arrived here, they had no reason to give up, and with the expectation of the true appearance of the two towers above their heads, they all followed Rare's footsteps and walked slowly up.

There were people coming down from above, and people behind them were coming up from all directions. They also saw some people who were dressed in the same uniform as them at the High School of Magic and Wizardry in Krivari.

When they were about halfway up the climb, they decided to take a break in place in order to take care of these girls who were not very physically strong.

Fortunately, the steps were wide enough that even if they sat on them, they wouldn't interfere with the normal passage of others.

Alan realized that looking down from here was really like looking down halfway up the mountain, and even had the illusion of being in mid-air.

He couldn't tell which way they had come, but he felt that the streets were crisscrossing as far as his eye could see, like cobwebs. It's just that all the roads end up here.

After a short rest, they continued their climb.

Eren had never felt so tired, as if he had walked 10,000 miles in one go, and his legs were not only sore, but also a little trembling, compared to the endless staircase in the elemental tower.

In the end, he didn't even have the heart to look at the scenery, so he could only lower his head and climb up.

Finally, just as he felt like he was about to lose his legs, the steps in front of him disappeared.

They came to the top of the steps.

Alan was excited, and instantly felt completely tired, and raised his eyes to look around.

It's a platform, or a square, that doesn't seem to be big at all. In the middle of the square are two towers that reach into the sky, each surrounded by a carved stone pillar.

Several people came closer and observed the two towers.

Both towers are made of gray-white boulders of the same texture as the stones underfoot, each one more than a man tall. They were familiar with the carvings at the base of the tower to their left, similar to the reliefs they had seen at school, depicting the four Guardians fighting the Monoculus, as they could clearly see what they were holding and which they would later call "holy relics". There is also a small line engraved on the side: "The First Battle".

The carving at the base of the tower to their right is supposed to be the process of the second magic eye being sealed, because the inscription on it reads: "The end of the old era." The great Winslows, the pioneers of the new era. ”
