On the Seven Towers

The Mo Yu Mercenary Group, composed of Mo Yu, Gao Wen and Jia Luo, has been active in the north of the empire for more than two years. Once, they received a mission about a slave merchant group. The mission was to intercept a merchant group that smuggled human slaves to the orc tribe.

The empire itself has a large amount of slave trade, and many nobles and wealthy merchants have many slaves in their homes, but selling human slaves to the orc tribes is a taboo in the empire. The intelligence of orcs is slightly inferior to that of humans, so despite their strong physique, they have been suppressed by humans in the desert Gobi area in the north. However, if human slaves and orcs give birth to half-orcs, they often have a significant improvement in intelligence. This is something that humans who rely on their brains to fight would never want to see. A few decades ago, there was a child born from a wolf orc and a human who became the military advisor of the wolf army. He was extremely cunning in combat and caused the empire to suffer a lot. The empire did not want such a thing to happen again, so naturally they had to prevent humans from flowing into the orc tribes.

Therefore, due to the siege of the empire, the price of young human female slaves in the orc tribes was very high. As a result, some human merchants were greedy for profit and secretly transported young slaves to the orc tribes.

This was a job that would cost one's life. If the empire's legions caught such a caravan, they would often behead the caravan members and sell the female slaves they had taken back to domestic merchants. This was a job that combined righteousness and profit, so the generals of each legion worked very hard.

Since the border between the Purple Eagle Empire and the orc tribes was very long, it was easy for the slave merchants to avoid the checkpoints. The only time they would be exposed was when they met patrols or other caravans on the road. These merchants lived a life of blood and knife. In order to hide their whereabouts, they often attacked other caravans and small patrols that they encountered by chance.

After receiving this information, the legion commanders and city lords on the border of the empire would immediately issue orders to let their troops and mercenaries hunt together.

The Mo Yu mercenary group had Gallo who was good at tracking traces, and they were very fast, so they walked ahead of all the trackers. They chased from day to night, spent more than ten hours, and finally caught up with the merchant group.

Those who dared to do this kind of business were actually big families with deep backgrounds. Although no one would admit the relationship between their family and the slave merchant group, they gave no less support to such merchant groups. The merchant group that Mo Yu and his team caught up with actually had a high-level mage and a high-level knight. With such strength, it would be difficult for ordinary small armies to take down. However, they were very unfortunate to run into masters like Mo Yu and Gawain whose strength far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people of the same level.

Mo Yu and his three men started fighting after the other party set up camp.

The mage was beheaded by the secret sword that flew out of the shadow without any signs, and lost his life without casting a single magic. The high-level knight was slashed by the crazy Mo Yu with five swords in a panic, breaking his arm, and then split in half by a sword. The remaining thirty-odd guards saw that Mo Yu was more terrifying than the orc warriors, so they killed their strongest masters and immediately scattered.

Mo Yu went to rescue the female slaves, but found that they were in much better condition than expected. You know, ordinary slaves are transported in prison cars for a long time, and they are frightened and lack water and food, so many people will suffer from diseases.

However, although the more than ten girls in this car were still scared, no one was really hurt.

After asking, Gallo found out that it was a girl named Bella among them who suddenly had magic power and used magic to heal many girls' injuries.

But Gawain was very confused. Magic can only be learned through strict training. To be able to use magic suddenly, it must be either a racial talent of some bloodline, or only from the power given by God.

The latter is a profession that has disappeared on this continent for a long time: priest.

Since the fall of the gods and the sleep of the god of nature, no one can rely on the favor of the gods and prayers to gain power, but the magic used by the little girl in front of him is like a skilled magic practitioner who has practiced magic for many years.

Bella told them: "After I was captured by the slave traders, I have been praying to the gods, hoping to gain the power to save ourselves."

"But the God of Nature is already asleep and it is impossible for him to respond to your prayers." Gawain said.

Bella said: "Of course I am not praying to him. If it were not for the priest of the Temple of Nature who destroyed my family, I should still be a baron's daughter and stay in my own manor. The god I prayed to was the nameless god recorded in a secret book of the family. She has the power to control time. I prayed for seven days and finally got her response. She gave me the ability to heal others and told me that I only need to wait quietly to wait for someone to come and save me."

"The God of Time? I have never seen such a god in the classics. Is it because she is not in the records that she has not fallen?" Gawain was puzzled.

But since this incident, a mysterious priest named Bella has joined their team. She usually appears in front of everyone as a healing wizard. But in fact, her power comes from the attention of the gods.

This attention is sometimes big and sometimes small, and Bella's ability is also sometimes high and sometimes low. At her strongest, her power was comparable to that of a great magician, and at her weakest, she was only at the level of an apprentice. This showed that the power that this god could display was also very limited.

But no matter what, this god still helped Mo Yu and his team through several crises through Bella. Moreover, as the only daughter of a noble, Bella has strong management skills, which the other three in the group cannot do. After she joined, the Mo Yu Mercenary Group was truly organized and began to recruit soldiers and grow stronger.

In this way, the team composed of these four people became bigger and stronger, and in a few years it turned from a wandering mercenary group into the ruler of the city.

After Mo Yu recalled these things, she found that the sky was almost dawn. This time, the recollection was not a simple recollection, but a re-immersion in a process. This was also a bit tiring for her, but her own realm was also approaching the limit of breakthrough.

"I feel your change." Bella appeared on the terrace.

"Have you got any revelation again? This mysterious god always likes to do this." Mo Yu asked.

Bella said, "The spirit has sent you a message. You and Gawain are indispensable forces. She wants you to break through the Saint Level as soon as possible and go to the south to find the Tower of China. Otherwise, with the awakening of the God of Nature, everything will become meaningless. And she will be waiting for you there at that time and give you a clear explanation."
