Bulwark of Light

Chapter 666 Linz Terminal

In the dusty attic, the old man sat in a wheelchair.

Ian is now 120 years old.

He has witnessed the changes in this continent for more than a century, and is honored as a "living fossil" by scholars of the College of the Holy Cross, but now he is too old to speak, and needs to rely on spiritual link equipment to convey his voice.

Hooper stood behind the wheelchair, gently pressing the old man's shoulders with both hands.

The old man coughed badly, and the mental link device trembled wildly. Inevitably, the sound that came out also became rough and chaotic...

Looking at this scene, Gu Shen sighed inwardly.

Ian is just too old.

I am afraid that even the "spiritual link" is difficult to carry out.

Hooper leaned down with a worried face, and the old man raised his neck with difficulty, and the two whispered a few words.

He said seriously: "Mr. Gu, the teacher thinks there are two more suitable candidates..."

"One is Mr. Holling from Uptown."

Uptown?

The core city of Central Continent occupies a rather large area, which is equivalent to the "Central City" of Beizhou and the "Bright City" of Xizhou. Due to the radiance of the two gods of the source tower, the "Upper City" has lived up to its name over the years. It can be said to be the "first city" among the five continents.

"Mr. Huo Lin is a professor of Holy Cross College. He is very talented and prestigious. He secretly joined the Ancient Literature Society after the 'killing' incident." Hooper said slowly: "Two years ago, Mr. Huo Lin I once came to Linz to visit the teacher."

Gu Shen remembered the name.

It's just that it's not a good strategy to go to the city. The Tower of Origin is shrouded in light. If you go, you will definitely receive many eyes.

It is said that the upper city is full of masters and rich in resources. Under the blessing of the two gods, the extraordinary geniuses born there are not inferior to Beizhou... Zhongzhou is located in the center of the five continents. Most of the young geniuses here have not experienced the front line. The trials of life and death in the frontier.

But after all, there are two gods sitting in charge!

The help that these two sparks can provide is really too great!

According to rumors, the Tower of Origin is as high as the sky——

When people looked up, they could only see the blue clouds, but not the top of the tower.

It is because of the divine power of the two sparks intertwined that an absolutely perfect "dream" was created.

Stepping into the tower is equivalent to stepping into the "God's Dream".

There are countless wonders here.

It is said that the prophet who mastered divination was in a dream of a certain layer of the Tower of Origin. His physical body has long since withered, but his spirit can remain immortal for decades.

And the geniuses of Central Continent also flocked to the upper city.

After completing a part of the trials in the "deep water area", their comprehension realm has stagnated, and they can step into the tower of origin for a deeper level of sharpening... The twin gods will not refuse anyone who comes, and they have opened their source to the world. The gate of the tower and the dreams on the first ten floors are made of fire seeds. All young transcendents, as long as they have the courage and determination, can try to come here for spiritual trials!
The first ten layers of dreams stopped an unknown number of geniuses.

It is not easy to break through.

And if you want to become the "Apostle" of the Tower of Origin, clearing the tenth floor of the dream is the first step on the road you must pass.

"It just so happens that Mr. Holling's hometown is actually in the small town of Linz."

Hooper smiled and said, "It's just that he lives in the upper city all year round, and occasionally returns to his hometown...he lives not far from the end of the street."

"And one more?"

"There is another one, just in the Rhine."

Hooper said slowly: "Have you two heard of the 'Wind Rose' in Rhine City?"

"Wind Rose?"

Gu Shen didn't know much about Central Continent's news.

Due to the "balanced" information processing, and Zhongzhou's always low-key behavior style... Many of the strong people here have never participated in the "parliament", but Chu Ling's spiritual sea is connected to the database, and the files will be sent over in the next moment .

"Ye Caroline, an A-level transcendent with the ability [blazing thorns], once challenged the illusion of the two gods in the Tower of Origin, but stopped at the ninth floor... was given the post of Star Envoy of the Rhine City, so she left the upper city, Stationed in the Rhine, due to its strong ability, violent personality, and extremely fast action speed, it is called the 'Wind Rose'."

A picture of a beautiful woman with dyed bright red wavy hair came into view.

This girl was born extremely beautiful, very charming.

Looking at her face alone, it is difficult for people to associate her with "violent personality".

But... the title of Rose of the Wind is very appropriate, and she looks very difficult to mess with.

"What is an angel?"

Gu Shen asked silently via voice transmission.

"As the core capital of Central Continent, Shangcheng is also the divine city where the Tower of Origin is stationed. It will send a large number of extraordinary people to garrison the major cities... There is no so-called 'three schools and five great families' in Central Continent, only one Tower of Origin, so It is those priestly officials who came out of the Tower of Origin to take over the important task of maintaining the extraordinary order."

"Star Messenger is the collective name for 'Star Messenger'."

Chu Ling explained: "In Central Continent, under the title, no matter how powerful or weak, as long as the Tower of Origin confers the 'Position', they can be called 'Star Envoys'. They will get a sealed item robe, The one similar to the Blessed Son of Light, but with different qualities, the number of stars engraved on the shoulder sleeve means the level of status, and in a sense also reflects the strength of strength."

Gu Shen was stunned.

His attention was on another point, and he asked worriedly: "Mr. Hooper, Ye Caroline has challenged the illusion of the two gods in the Tower of Origin, and has taken over the 'priesthood' of the upper city... So, she has already Is he considered an extraordinary person under the Tower of Origin?"

"Yes."

Hooper smiled and said: "Mr. Gu, this is why the teacher recommended her. Although Ye Caroline received the 'priesthood' under the Tower of Origin, she is actually a confidant of the Ancient Literature Society. She also once I studied with the teacher for a short period of time... Now she has a very high reputation in the port area of ​​Zhongzhou, and Rhine City is a trading city with dense crowds. If you want to meet offline in the future, then this is a very good opportunity. s Choice."

"Star Envoy..."

Gu Shen frowned and said, "Since taking the priesthood, won't the twin gods of the Tower of Origin leave behind a ray of divine sense?"

"You don't worry too much, there are many 'star envoys' in Central Continent."

Hooper shook his head and said: "In the small town of Linz, there is also more than one 'Star Envoy' patrolling. Every transcendent who steps into the Tower of Origin is mostly qualified to obtain the priesthood of 'Star Envoy', it just depends on personal wishes... ...If everyone grants a ray of divine sense, then even if the Tower of Origin has two god seats, it will be too busy."

He paused, and added: "Of course, it's not that easy to enter the tower of origin. No matter how weak these priests are, they are stronger than ordinary extraordinary people... They are capable and qualified to maintain order. The two gods open the tower to the world. The door left a 'precious' dream resource, but if you just want to keep enlightening, you need to become an official of the priesthood. [Deep Sea] will monitor everything, and when you have accumulated enough merits, you can return to the upper city. Climb to a higher place and put on the robes of priests with more stars."

"During this process ... anyone can withdraw at any time."

When Gu Shen heard this, he understood.

The Tower of Origin used a rather free method to manage the priests under its command.

Countless people flock to the Tower of Legends.

Entering the Tower of Origin, comprehending the dream, can become stronger... Top talents will be favored by the gods, and those who are slightly inferior, want to go further and gain the recognition of the "Tower of Origin", either work hard on their own, or join uptown.

With [Deep Sea] under supervision, these geniuses will naturally go to various places in Central Continent to practice!

"Now...'The Tinder of Wine' has returned to its place."

Hooper lowered his voice, and said slowly: "The upper floor of the Tower of Origin has been scrambling for madness. The [Apostles] who followed Dionysus back then are the most promising candidates to inherit the fire... But the good news is that so far , no one has been able to complete the complete trial of the 'dream of wine tinder'. I am afraid it will take a long time for this tinder to choose a good owner."

After hearing this, Gu Shen was slightly surprised.

He looked meaningfully at this Ian lover.

It is not easy to inquire about the news inside the Tower of Origin.

This guy... doesn't seem to be a simple ordinary disciple.

After returning to the wheelchair, Hooper blinked slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.

"Your Majesty, which one do you recommend more?"

Gu Shen squatted slightly and looked at the old man in the wheelchair. Ian seemed very tired, his eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing became difficult and slow.

He is ready to meet with the two referees.

It's just that I'm a newcomer after all, and I'm very unfamiliar with Central Continent. If I want to meet offline smoothly, just making an appointment in the "meeting room" may not be enough to gain trust.

Both of them are familiar with Ian.

It would be different if Mr. University Scholars personally led the way.

"Holin... is on his way back."

From the mental link device, there was a weak voice like the old man's dream.

"He'll be back soon."

……

……

Upper City is the heart of Middle-earth.

Here, there are countless trams passing through the tracks every day, traveling to all directions of Central Continent.

Even in a small city like Linz, there are direct trains.

It’s just that very few return to “Linz” from the upper city, especially in the middle of the night. This time is even less. Generally speaking, in the remote areas of Central Continent, only [Deep Sea] drives the train alone , from one unmanned station to another unmanned station.

But tonight is an exception.

A middle-aged man in a long black trench coat and with his hair combed back was sorting his briefcase on the train.

His briefcase... was full of blueprints, and those blueprints were drawn with symbols that no one could understand, and obscure "texts", one after another, densely packed with hundreds of them.

In the train alone, he tirelessly sorted out the drawings and watched them over and over again.

at last.

The train arrives at the final station, Linz.

"You have reached the finish line, Linz, please get off."

"You have reached the finish line, Linz, please get off."

It was not until the gentle reminder of [Deep Sea] sounded in his mind twice that Professor Huo Lin realized that the long journey from the upper city had arrived at the destination without knowing it. He hurriedly stuffed the drawings into his briefcase and left in a hurry .

Outside the platform, the moonlight was like the sea, a little pale and even more dazzling.

The train roared away.

Huo Lin frowned, looking at the direction of the pale moonlight, he squinted his eyes... a big lamp was facing him, the equipment in the small town always ignored the experience like this, he stretched out his hand to cover his vision, ready to bow his head leave.

next moment.

He suddenly froze.

Due to the illumination of the pale headlights, the entire waiting corridor of the platform was illuminated palely... But a long shadow stretched in front of him.

Holly raised his head slowly.

The man was standing at the exit with his arms folded, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Long time no see, Hollin."

There was a slight smile in the man's voice, and he spoke to Huo Lin in a tone of reunion with an old friend.

Huo Lin stared blankly at the black shadow.

He couldn't see clearly.

"No, no..."

After the man opened his mouth, he quickly shook his head and said with emotion: "I'm sorry, I called it wrong."

"Should I call you now...Honorable Professor Holling?"

"Now you are admired by countless people in the college in the upper city. You have fame, status, and status. Today, you have everything. You are no longer the nameless person in the laboratory who knocked over a bottle. , will be scolded as a bloody little assistant."

Huo Lin's expression suddenly turned pale.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, you are still as young as ever. Compared with the past, you just have more vicissitudes... It seems that you are following the right teacher."

The figure stood in the darkness, stretched out his hand to grope for his chin, and said with a smile, "You guys have been researching 'that thing' all these years, right? When you come back this time, you also want to share the latest results?"

"who are you?"

Holly's expression became gloomy.

Countless memories flashed through his mind, but he couldn't equate any memory with the face of the man in front of him.

"It's so sad..."

The figure moved forward slowly.

The lights went out, and the day-lit corridor was instantly submerged in the night, and the wind howled.

Huo Lin rushed forward, and he pulled out a bare cross sword hilt from his arms. At the moment when the source quality was infused, a laser shot out instantly.

"Do the first-rank civil servants in the deep sea dare to draw their swords against me?"

Hei Ying folded his arms and said with a smile, "Courage is commendable."

He looked at the man with the sword in the same way he looked at a clown.

next moment.

Huo Lin threw the laser sword, but his target was not the shadow, but the alarm on the roof of the corridor...

"Not bad... I still have a little brain."

Sombra watched as the laser was thrown, piercing the alarm.

The entire corridor was still quiet.

He said softly: "If I hadn't been well-prepared, how dare I go back to Central Continent, how dare I come to you..."

Holly was stunned.

"Don't worry, no one knows what happened here."

"The [deep sea] is invisible."

The black shadow moved forward slowly. He stretched out his big hand, grabbed Huo Lin's neck, lifted the man up, and lifted his feet off the ground. Until this moment, Huo Lin's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

Between suffocations, his vision turned scarlet.

As if shrouded in a dream, he actually saw faces one after another, constantly changing on this person's face.

All are the faces of strangers.

until the end...

He saw a "familiar face" covered with scars and nearly [-]% burned.

"It's you?"

Huo Lin could no longer make a sound, and under the action of the huge force, his eyeballs almost popped out.

"you are still alive?!"

"It's me... Thanks to you, I'm still alive, and I'm living very badly."

The figure smiled self-deprecatingly.

The next moment he exerted force suddenly, and with a snap of five fingers, he twisted Huo Lin's neck.

"Snapped--"

In the quiet corridor, there was a dull sound of falling.

Huo Lin's body hit the ground, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and soon... the corridor was dyed red.

The briefcase and drawings he carried with him were scattered all over the place.
