Chapter 217: Tower of the Dead

When the night fell, Thorne walked silently on the street. At this time, the town of Twin Towers was cold and silent. There was no one on the originally noisy street, and the stars above his head were also shining faintly.

In the battle in the 'Little Frog' tavern, the moment the four arrogant and ignorant Mara believers looked down on him, they were doomed to a tragic end.

However, these evil players did not bring him any other benefits other than allowing him to gain a small amount of experience points and practice points. Likewise, apart from feeling the strange gaze of the tavern owner, it didn't do him any harm.

The only thing that surprised him was that he met a player who was inaugurated as a paladin again. After all, in this cruel world, this kind of person who can always keep his heart and keep an unquenchable aura of kindness in his heart is really too much. Less, they are a group of people worthy of respect, at least he thinks so.

Thorne gently stroked the paladin ring on his finger, looked at the shimmering night sky, suddenly recalled the paladin girl who bid him farewell in Winter City, and sighed involuntarily.

Then he pulled the hood, and the figure disappeared towards the 'Tower of the Dead' under the shroud of night.

After a while, Thorne came to the ruins of the 'Tower of the Dead'.

Looking around, you can see that this solemn black tower is inserted in the center of the Twin Towers Town, and the entire tower is shrouded in a dark shadow that even moonlight cannot penetrate. A rotting skeleton hand struggled to climb out of the underground tomb.

According to the female player Alvi, this tower has existed for a very long time, and it has existed for a long time before this land was named 'Twin Towers Town'.

Moreover, the so-called prisoner of a certain princess in the tower is not a demon worshiper, and her specific identity has long since disappeared in the long river of dusty history.

However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the owner of the tower is a wizard who is proficient in necromancy. It can be seen only from the dark shadow that shrouds the tower and exudes the breath of death all the time.

After all, even on a sunny day, the shadows will not dissipate with the wind like a thin mist. They seem to have been integrated with the entire tower and will not be left behind.

As for how it was formed, some people say that it was instilled with "dark magic", and some people say that there is a huge blasphemous circle deep in the ground of the tower, but no one can bravely prove this.

Because the seal of the underground passage leading to the unknown cannot be broken by anyone.

"The seal leading to the underground passage was in the history of the existence of the Twin Towers, and no one could open it, so the sealed demons would not be able to come out to harm, but I was just curious at the time, and when I touched it lightly, this seal was easy to do. cracked."

Thorne recalled what the female player Alvey had said to him solemnly and fell into deep thought.

Thorne once again remembered the doubts he had asked the sorceress Andrina when he was in the tower on the west cliff of the waterfall town. Not as hard to open as expected.

However, the high tower in the town of waterfalls was indeed tried by Bishop Lausian, the high priest of the Merikai Temple, and it has been proved that it cannot be cracked at all.

At first, he even wondered if the sorceress was hiding something from him, but now it seems that this is not the reason.

Could it be that these two towers are related, and the way to open it must be their players from another world. Thorne glanced at the twisted tower in front of him, secretly guessing in his heart.

Then, without hesitation, he walked directly into the tower.

The gate of the tower has long been torn apart, and the cracks are also full of the vicissitudes of history, so Thorne just jumped lightly and walked in smoothly.

On the first floor of the high tower, the spacious hall has long been occupied by the Dinomouse, and there are large nests piled up with rubbish, bones and hair everywhere. The nests are scattered with various dilapidated Dinomouse corpses. Full of carrion and dead smell.

Dino rats are wild animals, most notably characterized by scarlet eyes, sharp front teeth and a body the size of a house cat.

As frequent visitors to sewers, mausoleums and underground ruins, their presence here is not surprising.

However, don't underestimate these terrifying rats. One or two may be easy to deal with, but a group of terrifying rats is different. The basic agility of these gregarious rats is above 16 points. The Dread Sea is submerged.

They will eat everything they can, gnawing and chewing up intruders with their sharp front teeth, and have disease effects.

The entire twisted tower, except the top of the tower belongs to the territory of bird creatures, all other places have been occupied by the mora.

Although the former Twin Towers Town Adventurer's Guild has issued many tasks to clear the rat, but because the 'Tower of the Dead' was damaged too much, most of the stairs leading to the upper floors were damaged, so they could not be cleaned up. .

Even if you spend a lot of money to kill all the terrifying rats on the first floor of the tower, as long as a period of time, many terrifying rats will still migrate from the upper layer of the tower to settle here again. These mice rarely go out to do evil.

At this time, a group of strange terrifying rats caught Thorne's attention.

He found that in the group of terrifying mice, many mice were rotting all over, but they were still full of vitality, with scarlet blood glittering in their eyes, and they roamed freely in the lair.

"It seems that after the underground passage of the tower was destroyed, the aura of negative energy has already affected the first floor." Thorne whispered to himself.

After he finished speaking, he relied on his powerful stealth ability and silently walked towards the position indicated to him by the female player Alvey.

The building of the tower is made of pure black magic bricks that even he can't recognize. It can be seen from the walls on the first floor that are still intact. street.

Then Thorne carefully began to observe the mysterious runes carved on the wall.

"It's very similar to the runes carved on the tower in the town of Falls. Does this tower have a very close connection with the Insight Organization." Although Thorne didn't know much about mysterious knowledge, he found these runes. It is very similar to the tower of the town on the waterfall.

Then, under his careful observation, he was not disappointed to find a raised button mechanism with a square hole on the inside and a circle on the outside, similar to a copper coin, so Thorne directly pressed it down.

"Boom!"

The moment the button was activated, there was a strange change in the wall beside him, and it rose directly, and then appeared in front of him a pure white wall flashing with magical aura, and it was also engraved with the common characters of the continent.

Thorne gently stroked the mottled blood that was still on the wall, and began to read the engraving on the wall:

They call it a war of desperation, and for good reason.

Many noble and proud friends died in this war, and with them everything they had fought for so long.

Once, we lived in harmony and beauty, and after coming here, we live in harmony with this land. But such an ideal life was shattered and reduced to ashes by the horrific beings that invaded us and the minions who served them.

Drenched in anger, despair, and grief, some of the survivors turned to the darkest things, casting spells that we reproached in the good old days.

I have seen my beloved desecrate myself with dark spells, negotiating with dark beings, subjecting my flesh to their filthy caress in exchange for weapons capable of destroying my foes.

When I condemned her for what she did, she told me that revenge is now her only goal of survival, and in the name of all that has been taken from her, if she destroys enough enemies and saves this precarious territory, Saved the homeland we built together and saved all the residents, so no matter how badly polluted she is now, what does it matter?

I was speechless to her then, and I am now.

One day, I will be back!
