v10 Chapter 2: tower

North Sunya Sea, "Morning Star City", in the Mechanical Tomahawk Bar.

A middle-aged man with short messy yellow hair is sitting in a booth drinking alone, tasting the unique wine in this city that looks like a big factory.

After a while, another two men and a woman came to his vicinity one after another. After ordering drinks, they exchanged information in a low voice.

"Captain, we have been here for a few days, and we have figured out the situation in this city...

"By the way, they have been producing all kinds of weapons recently, apparently to sell to several countries where wars are breaking out." The young man wearing a pirate turban reported with some disappointment.

At first he thought there would be treasure here.

The middle-aged man called the captain ignored him, and turned his head to look at the female companion with beautiful blue eyes and a slightly neutral appearance.

After deliberating for a while, the lady replied in a low voice: "Captain, I think this place may belong to a secret organization. After all, there is no church in this city, but it worships an existence called the Machine Emperor...

"I suspect that the so-called "Machine Emperor" should be the original Emperor Roselle! Maybe it was the supporters of that great man who wandered to this place after his death.

"But the strange thing is that everyone here speaks Loen language..."

The captain nodded, and looked at the last old man. He is a believer in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" and is best at observation and reasoning: "Old Keton, do you have anything to add?"

Keton, who wore a white robe and wore brass-colored glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodded and said:

"The people here look no different from the people in other places, but there are many strange things...

"For example, they worship the so-called Mechanical Emperor on the surface, but everyone waits for the sunrise every morning and praises the "sun"... I suspect that they are actually believers in the eternal blazing sun.

"Secondly, almost all of them wear more or less armor, some on the abdomen, some on the chest, some on the arms, and some on the legs... There are very few people who don't wear armor at all, and Generally very young.

"The most important thing is that according to my observations in the past few days, they never take off their armor, even when they are sleeping... This may be a custom that has been passed down.

"Third, in this city with a population of about 10,000, the rate of literacy is very high. Even the poor living in the sewers are not illiterate... This is incredible.

"Finally, and the most incomprehensible to me, why would such a factory city be built in a sea far away from the mainland, or even away from most of the islands?

"The products they produce far outweigh the products they produce. How high is the transportation cost? This is unreasonable!"

After listening, the captain silently wrote down these questions, then raised his head, looked around, and asked again:

"So, have you noticed any weird things here?"

"Weird thing..." The young man wearing a pirate turban thought for a while, "I seem to have heard a middle-aged uncle say that he is going to celebrate his 240th birthday, and that he must eat eggs once this time."

Crap... but I may have misheard, he may have been talking about forty years old. "

"I saw bee wings growing out of a little girl's back, but after blinking, they disappeared again...I thought my eyes were dazzled..." The lady with a neutral appearance became more and more uncertain.

"A worker's finger was cut off by a machine, but black grease flowed out of it... But when I looked carefully, he was not injured at all." Old Linton's face was also ugly.

At this moment, the captain stood up directly, and ordered in a low voice, "Quick! Get back on the boat! Leave this island immediately!

"The existing information is enough for us to get mission bonuses from the Adventurer's Mutual Aid...

The other three crew members were obviously aware of the danger at this time, and without any hesitation, they followed the captain and ran towards the pier.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and they returned to their three-masted sailing ship smoothly.

After pulling the anchor and setting sail, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the ship named "Morning Star".

When I was in the city, I was shocked to find that it turned into a steel "giant", standing like that in the sea.

But before they could cry out in alarm, the giant disappeared again, and "Morning Star City" was still in its original appearance.

But the four of them didn't dare to look any further, and ordered the sailors to hang up their sails and sail away from this sea area at full speed.

When their ship disappeared into the sky, Klein, who had been hiding in the dark and creating "little surprises" for the four adventurers, showed a satisfied smile.

Although the actors are all residents of Morningstar City, he is the "screenwriter" and "director" himself, so the acting effect is quite good.

"Sure enough, the crafty mage should be a horror film director..."

In the bedroom of the villa at No. 28 King Street, Abner, who had just returned from exploring the "unknown land", finally opened his eyes after a long period of thinking.

Just before that, he not only recalled the entire memory of Vicente Miranda and Rhine Calendia, but also Alvin Abraham, Danny Tineker, and even Giuseppe Casti The memory that Ya once hid was also unearthed.

This not only allowed him to have a clear understanding of his many plans in the past, but also finally relied on the authority of "wisdom" to "guess" what the path that belonged to him now was researched by his previous self and the gods.

"Because once promoted to Sequence 1, the recovery mechanism of the unknown, or Liu Bo, will be triggered. At that time, the me in the depths of the unknown place... or the great existence will partially wake up, and then replace me current cognition.

"At Sequence 2, I basically rely on divinity, anchor, and the unknown to maintain my state, and this triangle relationship is indeed the most stable... But the premise is that the sum of any two sides is greater than that of the third. Three sides, just do it!

"When it comes to Sequence 1, the unknown power will be greatly replenished due to the partial awakening of that existence, quickly overwhelm divinity and anchor, and destroy my existing humanity.

"So, in order to deal with this situation, at the end of each life except for Giuseppe, a lot of attempts were made, and the only way in the end was to let the 'divinity, also grow rapidly in Sequence 1!

"As long as" divinity, together with the anchor, can overwhelm the unknown, then my humanity can still be preserved, and will not be completely covered by the will of that being.

"As for the method of strength, divinity...

"That's—ancient god!" Yes, there is only one path for me, and that is to become an ancient **** and indulge the madness and chaos in the divinity to the greatest extent!

"That is, I, Abner, with myself as the cornerstone, with the help of one part, the all-seeing eye, one part, the emperor of knowledge, one part, the snake of mercury, plus, the wheel of fortune, the oneness, Under the right opportunity, become an ancient **** who is rich in the authority of "knowledge, wisdom and destiny".

"Heh, it's no wonder Ya Luolan helped me keep a knowledge emperor before, no wonder there are three artifacts, capture, angel of destiny, mercury snake, characteristics...

"As for the all-seeing eye, I'm afraid it was bestowed by Erwulong, right? He has a way to turn the illusory "eye of all-knowing" in my "pure white eye" into reality like a dreamer. A real all-seeing eye, can you give me the characteristics?

"However, this is not the whole of the previous "I, plan...according to, I, the setting, but also with Vicente Miranda as the cornerstone, with one, the pale emperor, one conqueror, one , the hand of the gods, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com plus the uniqueness of the "red priest", and then create an ancient **** who is rich in war, death and destruction, and authority.

"Using Dennett as the cornerstone, with a filthy king, a dark angel, a 'Doomsday Witch' and the uniqueness of the abyss, a rich, corrupt, shadow and disaster, authoritative ancient gods.

"Finally, because the three ancient gods are actually me, they can be fused with each other, and then accommodate the "Key of Light", "World of Shadows" and the City of Disaster, with the help of the power of the unknown, to piece together an unknown Only the pillars can compete with the real Liu Bo.

"It stands to reason that it is inevitable to accommodate the three major sources, or the three ancient gods, the way, and the madness... But with the authority of the unknown, there is another

wire possible.

"Because, in front of the unknown, everything is unknown, even the way to become a pillar.

"And the authority of this pillar exactly corresponds to the interpretation of the Tarot card, the tower...

"Facing the sudden disaster, the fate of the fallen tower, the shadow of death and destruction, but after the disaster, there is the possibility of starting again...

"And the tower itself is a symbol of knowledge...

"Oh, it turns out that the tower and card I chose in front of Klein was also a sign of fate...

"This unknown old day, no, the name of the unknown pillar is called, the tower!"
