On the Seven Towers

On a hillside not far from Hewan New City, a large garden was built, and in the middle of the garden there is a towering monument. The style of the monument is very peculiar, with seven abstract human figures interlaced together, jointly pushing forward a polyhedron.

This is the Hewan Martyrs Cemetery, which has been completed for three years. In this cemetery, those who died in the fight against the God of Nature, the City of God, and the war on the continent are buried.

Today is the day when Hewan New City No. 1 Middle School organizes students to come here to pay tribute to the heroes. Led by the teacher, the students presented bouquets in front of the monument and then listened to the staff introduce the story of the Sealed War.

The staff member was eloquent and his words were vivid, as if he had personally experienced the battlefield, and the students were all fascinated. However, neither he nor the students noticed that there were two women watching the event beside the Martyrs' Stele Forest not far away.

"In fact, the scene at that time was not so good. We didn't have time to say those corny lines." Mei Tiantian said.

"When you are placed on that monument, that you are no longer the real you. You have to get used to it." Luo Ling said on the side. She was wearing a black dress today and holding a handful of white flowers in her hands. She was placing these flowers one by one in front of the tombstones of her comrades.

All the sacrificed people are here, even those who disappeared completely like He Xiaoxi, there is a cenotaph. But there is only one person who does not have a tombstone, that is Xiao Chen. No matter how the committee persuaded, Luo Ling did not agree to erect a monument for Xiao Chen, nor did she agree to list Xiao Chen in the list of the dead in the battle record.

He just went to another world, she always said so.

Luo Ling placed a flower in front of Liu Yisheng's tombstone, and Mei Tiantian also placed one. She whispered: "Maybe in another parallel world, he and I are still fighting hard together. Fortunately, you appeared and finally gave us the opportunity to complete our mission and long-cherished wish. However, this ending... still involves so many sacrifices."

"Yes. The sacrifice was great..., but I didn't even see how he sacrificed. At least you saw the last moment, and I was unconscious at that time." Luo Ling said.

"You haven't forgiven Lorenzo yet? I heard that you have been avoiding him for the past three years. In fact, he told me that it was Xiao Chen's wish. He didn't want you to experience that moment." Mei Tiantian said.

Luo Ling shook her head and said: "I didn't forgive him, but I didn't want to see him either. Some people say good things for your own good and do good things for your own good, but they are just annoying, right?"

Mei Tiantian tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded.

She decided to change the subject: "Are you really going to be an ambassador to the Republic of the Western Continent?"

"Yes. I have been meditating on and off for three years on the Tower of the Spirit Eye, and I haven't found any trace of that world. This shows that this method is not feasible. My realm growth has stagnated in the past three years. Maybe it's time to change the environment and increase my strength first. Besides, after all, he united the Western Continent with us. I heard that some unstable factors have emerged in recent years. I don't want the good foundation he laid to slowly disappear. It's impossible to make the two continents one, but I can still try to make them in a state of healthy competition. Otherwise, if I meet him one day, will he think that I didn't protect what he left behind?" Luo Ling put the bouquet behind her back and looked at the ball on the monument from afar, "As saints, our lives are longer, I... still have time, and I hope it may be in the next moment."

Egypt

In a secret passage at the bottom of an ancient pyramid.

Several people dressed as explorers were running desperately in the narrow tunnel, because behind them, after turning a few corners, there was a rolling black fog, chasing them slowly. When someone looked back, the light of the helmet would illuminate the black shadow, but each time it was different, sometimes like a horse, sometimes like a cow, and sometimes like an indescribable demon.

As they ran, the leader screamed: "Fuck, this is a dead end!"

"What?"

"What should we do? Those blood-sucking bugs are catching up!"

The leader said: "There is no way. Guns are useless against those bugs! Jet! Aren't you a fire awakener who has awakened a B-level superpower? Now it's all up to you."

A fireball was born from the hands of a young man named Jet, reflecting his pale face: "I, I don't have much mental power left. There are too many bugs."

"We can only fight." Most people raised their guns, and another person stretched out his empty hands, and ice crystals began to appear between his hands.

But all these people knew that such struggles were futile in front of these blood-sucking beetles.

However, at this moment, a strange voice suddenly appeared beside them, and a man asked: "Do you need help?"

This question caused a scream and almost caused a fire.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The leader swore that there were only five of them in this dead end. He used a light to illuminate the direction of the sound, and unexpectedly two people appeared behind them. They were all wearing cloaks, and their faces were completely covered. If the other party had not been articulate and pure in pronunciation, he would even suspect that the other party was a ghost from ancient Egypt.

"Don't panic." The man in the dark said, "I'm here to help you get out of danger. But I have a small request. You have to show me the bracelet of the Eye of Horus in your backpack."

"So you are also here to find the ancient holy relic?" The leader agreed readily, "As long as you can save me and my brothers. It will be yours."

"Deal. Tasya, I leave it to you." The man said.

At this time, the beetles that made up the black mist flew in from outside. The shorter cloaked man stretched out a slender hand and snapped his fingers in the air. The dense black beetles in front suddenly turned red, as if a group of fires burst out of their stomachs accurately, like a firework, burning out and dissipating.

Several groups of beetles flew in one after another, and they were all eliminated by her in this understated way.

"Oh my God, she must be an S-level mutant."

"No, I have seen S-level mutants, and they can't do this. This... is simply art." Jet said.

The man in the dark stretched out his hand, and the leader obediently put his bracelet stolen from the ancient tomb in his hand. As soon as the bracelet fell into the man's hand, it began to emit a dazzling light.

"How is it?" asked the woman who released the flame.

"It's interesting. There is a trace of rules about space. It seems that it is still valuable to look for things in the pile of old papers. I didn't expect that after the divine power turned into magic power and spread to the world, it would actually activate these things from ancient times. It seems that the past of the earth is not simple. Anyway, I will keep exploring until I find a way to cross the world.

Maybe at the next moment."

The man threw the bracelet back to the leader, and then took the woman out of the passage.

...

The passage fell into a strange silence. After a long time, the leader suddenly touched his head and asked, "Why are we standing here stupidly? What happened?"

(The whole book is finished)

"Above the Seven Towers" is finally finished, but I feel very calm, as if the train has arrived at a station, but there is still a longer journey.

Although the results are not ideal, there are still many gains. There is no interruption, the story is complete, and I have some experience in how to tell a story. Give yourself a thumbs up.

The most important thing to thank here is you, the book friends who have read all the way to here.

Without you, this book would lose its meaning.

If you have any suggestions and advice on any part of this book, please feel free to speak in the book review area.

In addition, my second book "Sun Eater" has started uploading. This is a science fiction novel about saving the solar system. Welcome to collect and recommend. Thank you!
