On the Seven Towers

Garno flew through the tunnel, a twisted and dark place with only a faint light to guide him forward. Just as his mind was shrouded in boundless darkness at this time, but he didn't know where the light was. This secret passage has been built for a long time but is rarely visited, because for thousands of years, no one has ever been able to force a silver-leaf priest of the Natural Temple to escape from the temple in such a mess, until today, until that person came here.

It has been rainy in the royal capital recently, so naturally there are puddles in the tunnels. Garno stepped on them one foot deep and one foot shallow. His feet were already soaked, and the sewage splashed all over his usually neat priest robe, but he didn't even notice. He didn't dare to use magic power because he knew that there must be many people tracking his whereabouts not too far above his head.

The mage named Honorio was said to be the saint who was best at detecting for thousands of years, and Gano did not dare to risk being discovered by him.

He even forgot about his own safety at this time. He just felt that once he was caught, his teacher Roland... died in vain.

Just twenty minutes ago, I was discussing the current situation with the teacher.

His thoughts unconsciously fell into memories.

…

Priest Roland was in a very bad mood early this morning. When Gano met him, he was coming back from outside. Not knowing what happened, Garno found that he had a strange emotion. It didn't feel like anger or indignation, but like panic. And he had never seen such emotions on the face of his always confident teacher.

"You must leave immediately." This was the first thing Priest Roland said after seeing him.

"What are you talking about?" Gano watched his teacher hurried into his office, took out a sealed box from the storage ring, and handed it to him, "Are you... are you talking about this again?" Are those guys from Shencheng unable to sit still?"

"This morning, I was in regular contact with several friends. Including your father, but none of them were contacted. On the other side of the communication circle was a very strange voice, and two of them asked me Who is it?”

"Then my father..." Ganou knew that many of the communications between Priest Roland and those old friends were private and exclusive. Even if the other party did not answer the call himself, it should be an assistant who was very familiar with Roland. There was no such thing. There was no way he could tell who he was.

"Yes, your father... is probably in some kind of danger. My friends are all in danger, and I may be the next one." Roland pinched his eyebrows with his fingers and squeezed hard. .

"Father..." Ganou clenched his fists, "You mean, the people in the city of God have taken action against our secular sect? Is my father's whereabouts unknown because of this?"

"Yes, in the past two months, the conflict between us and Shencheng has become deeper and deeper. They are determined to take various actions against the Tower of China. But no one knows the true strength of the Tower of China. Once the war breaks out, the entire continent will be affected. It must be a loss of life.

Most of the troops of the Adventist sect have mysteriously disappeared, so they naturally want to use their brains on us. "

"I always feel that Shencheng is the culprit of those people's disappearance. They are too coincidental in time." Gano said.

"We had thought that they might take extreme actions, but I didn't expect that they would act so quickly and directly. So you must go and do one thing for me. Tell China about the mobilization of these temple troops. "

"But, Mr. Roland..., we are the people of the temple after all. If the temple and the Tower of China are fighting, will you stand on the side of the Tower of China?"

"Listen, if there are still different attitudes towards the coming of gods among the secularists, then I must be the most extreme one. I don't want him to appear in this world." Roland said this. When speaking, he subconsciously pursed his lips, letting Gallo feel the determination in his heart.

But Gallo felt very ridiculous. His teacher, a temple priest second only to several Golden Bough priests, stood in the natural temple and said such "blasphemous" words.

"Think about past history. In recorded history, how many times have the gods of nature done things that were beneficial to this continent? People believe in gods because they need a spiritual destination, not because of the will of gods. Become a prop for him to attack others!" Roland said a little excited, and even his breath was a little short. "These guys from the divine city are his accomplices. They will tie all the natural temple members to his chariot and fight with the enemy. Fighting to the death is a terrible thing for everyone.”

"What should I tell them if I get to China Tower?"

"You have to tell them that the real enemy is the Holy City that instigated all this. The Saints of the Holy City headed by Dominic must be eliminated to stop this war.

And our people have discovered a secret in the past few days. You can tell the people in the Tower of China that the power of these saints in the sacred city is closely connected with the God of Nature. Every time a saint in the sacred city is killed, part of the God of Nature will be consumed. The power will slightly slow down the time it takes for him to wake up. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, they should be completely eliminated. "

"Okay, I understand. Lord Roland, I'll leave as soon as I'm ready."

"There is nothing much to prepare. Let's go now." Roland took out a storage ring from his pocket. "It contains everything you need. Let's go. As for the news about your father, I will definitely tell you I’ll ask you carefully.”

Gano walked to the door and turned back, "Okay, but Lord Roland, then you yourself..."

"You don't have to worry about my affairs..." Roland had just said half of this sentence when he suddenly grabbed Ganno's shoulder and pulled him back.

Gano felt a huge wave of magic power coming from outside the temple. However, before he could say anything, Roland took out a strange crystal. The crystal emitted light, and countless silver lines were released from the middle.

In a few breaths, Ganno was wrapped up by these silver lines. He felt a spatial force trying to pull him out of this world.

"They are coming, let's go!"

"Teacher!"

Roland stared into his eyes: "I hope that in the future, humans will believe in nature, not the gods of nature."

"Blasphemer! Traitor!" A roar came from behind Roland, and the surging fighting spirit rushed into the room like a dragon. Roland had a shield floating on his body, but he was still pierced through the shield and flew out. The aftermath of the fighting spirit hit the light ball where Ganuo was, and he felt a tearing pain on his face.

...

In the dim tunnel, Ganuo touched the scar on his face that had been sealed by magic, gritted his teeth and ran away.
