On the Seven Towers

"The temple..., I had some problems with the high priest at that time." The king said.

Xiao Chen understood what he meant. The king deliberately did not remind the temple. He even wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. "But what happened later was different from what you expected?"

"Yes. The high priest went in, and went in more than once, but he came out safely every time." The king said, "I began to wonder, maybe the monster has left? Or maybe it just stayed in the royal family. On that road? So the people in the temple didn’t actually encounter it?”

"Are the roads separated after entering the God's Relics?" Xiao Chen asked.

"There are three ways to enter the ruins of God. This is a rule formulated by several saints in the early days of the Dwarf Kingdom. They transformed the ruins of God and divided it into three parts, allowing only three types of people to enter. Chapter 1 A road belongs to the royal family, and one must have the blood of the royal family to enter. It will eventually lead to the treasure room and material warehouse. Dwarves without royal blood cannot walk on this road, because there are several teleportation arrays in the middle, which only teleport. People with royal blood. The second path belongs to the temple and must be the high priest of the temple to enter. However, the requirements for this path are relatively loose. As long as the high priest himself is there, he can bring other people into this path. Passage. However, there is nothing of great value on this path. It will eventually lead to the hall where the God of Forging used to grant forging knowledge to the dwarves. However, that hall has collapsed, and what is left there is just an altar. For temple priests to use for prayers and sacrifices.

The third one belongs to the Great Blacksmith. Those who enter must work as a team and pass the test of the Great Blacksmith before they can be teleported in. The place they go to is the Forging Tower you are looking for.

The different areas led by the three different roads are isolated from each other, and there are large mountains in the middle that are always in the mist. Except for those saints back then, no one has ever crossed those mountains. So I guessed at the time that maybe the monster didn't have the ability to travel between different areas. "

"I remember that you went to the Relics of God again later," Ansaldo said.

"Well, many years later, when I felt I was prepared, I entered the Ruins of God again. At that time, I brought my two nephews, Klopp and Mareko, who were the most powerful in the royal family at that time. Strong warrior."

"Klopp and Mareko, who are known as the sharpest ax and the strongest wall?" Ansaldo was stunned.

The king snorted and said: "I know that in many rumors, it is said that they were murdered by me. Those are all despicable speculations and rumors. The most common ones in the capital are these rats hiding in the shadows. No, Klopp and Marek are both the most loyal warriors in the kingdom, and they are geniuses who may reach the realm of saints in their lifetime. How could I break my arm that time? The ax and the water-breaking shield were given to them, and their combat effectiveness at that time had reached the level of a saint.

I also brought with me Asaret, the royal magician who was the best at fighting at the time. The four of us got the best equipment, carried the fruits of destruction from the Black Dragon Empire, and prepared teleportation scrolls. If there was any problem, we would immediately teleport out of there.

When we first entered the ruins of God, the atmosphere was different from the last time. When we came to the place where we encountered danger before, the monster did not appear. We searched the entire treasure house and found no trace of it. I thought it was really there. left, so the high priest could safely enter and leave the ruins so many times. We started to use the storage ring to load the needed supplies, but just when we completed the mission and were about to come back, the monster attacked us in front of the teleportation array.

We made a lot of preparations this time, and the three masters were much stronger than the people who came with me last time. We even used the Destruction Fruit to severely damage the monster, but it made Klopp go crazy at the last moment. They The two brothers died together, but the monster still won. Only I escaped back to the teleportation array with the help of an absolute defense ring. "

"It seems that there was a violent explosion in the forging workshop, and the fact that Klopp and the three of them died at the same time was just a cover-up." Ansaldo said doubtfully, "But at that time, unlike the first time, your status had already been Is it very stable? Why didn’t you announce the news at that time?”

The king looked down at the ground for a long time and said: "Because that monster once said that he wanted me to die because the dwarves do not need a king, only the rule of the God of Forging is enough. He wants to replace me and directly rule the dwarf kingdom. , do you understand?”

"But there are still many people who will support you." Ansaldo said.

"It's hard for me to predict other people's thoughts. There is such a self-proclaimed God of Forging. If many people know about it, will anyone hope that he will really become the God of Forging, depose the royal family, and turn the dwarf kingdom into What about a country ruled by a theocracy? I didn’t dare to bet, it was too dangerous, but the other option was to completely seal the road to the Royal Family of God’s Relics. Later, just to be on the safe side, I moved the Great Blacksmith’s trial path. It’s also closed.”

"But now you have no way to seal the access to the temple." Xiao Chen said.

"Yes, but what I need is time, to train and recruit suitable masters, and to be prepared to fight this monster again. For many years, there has been no problem with the priests going in to pray in the temple. I am just lucky Really hoping this can continue until I'm ready.

It was not until much later that I learned that the high priest and the monster were connected. I don't know when the high priest encountered that thing. It didn't kill them all like it did to the royal family. Instead, it chose to control him. "The king recalled, "Maybe not completely controlled, but it definitely affected him. Unfortunately, I didn't know it at the time. When I found out later, it was too late. "

"How did you find out?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I have seen the power of the red mist twice and am very sensitive to its breath. Two years ago, I felt that breath from the high priest of the Forge Temple. "

"So you knew it a long time ago." Ansaldo asked.

"But knowing that I can only hide this secret." The king shook his head and said, "You should be clear about the status of the Forge Temple in the minds of the dwarves. Even I dare not easily go against them. What would happen if the high priest announced that the God of Forge did not recognize my throne and wanted to take over the Dwarf Kingdom himself? What do you think those nobles who are ready to move will think? What would those fools who regard the God of Forging as the highest faith think? "
