Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 217 Tower of the Dead

In the middle of the night, Thorn walked the streets silently. At this time, Twin Towers Town was cold and silent. There was no one on the originally noisy streets, and the stars above his head were shining faintly.

In the battle in the "Little Frog" tavern, the moment the four arrogant and ignorant Marathi believers underestimated him, their tragic ending was doomed.

However, these few evil players did not bring him any other benefits except for giving him a small amount of experience points and practice points.Similarly, apart from feeling the strange gaze of the tavern owner, it did not bring him any harm.

The only thing that surprised him was that he once again met a player who was an inaugural paladin. After all, in this cruel foreign world, this kind of person who can always keep his heart and keep an indelible aura of kindness in his heart is too much. Less, they are a group of respectable people, at least he thinks so.

Thorne gently stroked the ring of the paladin on his finger, looked at the shimmering night sky, suddenly recalled the paladin girl who bid farewell to him in Winter City, and sighed softly to himself.

Then he pulled the hood, and the figure disappeared towards the 'Tower of the Dead' under the cover of night.

After a while, Thorne came to the ruins of the 'Tower of the Dead'.

Looking around, you can find that this solemn black tower is inserted in the center of Shuangta Town, and the whole tower is shrouded in a dark shadow that even the moonlight cannot penetrate. The twisted and deformed tower is like A rotten skeleton hand struggled to crawl out from the underground tomb.

According to the female player Alvi, this tower has a very long history, even before this land was named "Twin Towers Town".

Moreover, the so-called princess imprisoned in the tower is not a devil worshiper, and her specific identity has long since disappeared in the long river of dusty history.

However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the owner of the tower is a wizard who is proficient in the necromantic system. It can be seen only from the dark shadow that covers the tower in front of his eyes, exuding the breath of death all the time.

After all, even on a sunny day, the shadows will not dissipate with the wind like a thin mist. They seem to have integrated with the entire tower, and they will never leave.

As for how it was formed, some people say that it was imbued with the "darkness technique", while others say that there is a huge blasphemy magic circle deep in the ground of the tower, but no one has the courage to prove this.

Because the seal of the underground passage leading to the unknown cannot be broken by anyone.

"The seal leading to the underground passage has never been opened by anyone in the history of Shuangta Town, so the sealed demon cannot come out to cause harm, but I was just curious at the time, and I touched the seal lightly. cracked."

Thorn recalled what the female player Alvi once said to him solemnly, and fell into deep thought.

Thorne remembered again the doubts he had asked the sorceress Andrina when he was in the tower on the west cliff of the town of Falls. Not as difficult to open as expected.

However, the high tower in Fallstown was indeed tried by Bishop Lauthian, the High Priest of the Temple of Melika, and it has been proved that it is impossible to break it.

At the beginning, he even wondered if the sorceress was hiding something from him, but now it seems that this is not the reason.

Could it be that these two towers are related, and the way to open them must be players from other worlds like them.Thorn glanced at the twisted tower in front of him, guessing secretly.

Then he stopped hesitating and walked directly into the tower.

The gate of the high tower has long been torn apart, and the cracks are full of vicissitudes of history, so Thorne just jumped lightly and walked in smoothly.

On the first floor of the tower, the spacious hall has long been occupied by Dreadrats, and there are large nests made up of garbage, bones and hairs everywhere. There are all kinds of dilapidated corpses of Dreadrats scattered in the nests. Smells of carrion and death.

Dinosaurs are wild animals, most notably characterized by their scarlet eyes, sharp front teeth, and body the size of a domestic cat.

As frequent visitors to sewers, tombs and underground monuments, it is not surprising that they appear here.

However, don't underestimate these Dreadrats, one or two may be easy to deal with, but a group of them is different. These Dreadrats living in groups have a basic agility of 16 points or more. If you are not careful, you will be killed by many The sea of ​​dire rats drowned.

They will eat everything they can, tearing and chewing on intruders with their sharp front teeth, and they also have disease effects.

In the entire distorted tower, except for the top of the tower, which belongs to the territory of bird creatures, all other places have been occupied by dire rats.

Although the former Twin Towers Town Adventurer's Guild issued many missions to clean up the Dread Rats, but because the 'Tower of the Dead' was too severely damaged, most of the stair passages leading to the upper floor were damaged, so they could not be cleaned up. .

Even if you spend a lot of money to kill all the Dreadrats on the first floor of the tower, after a while, many Dreadrats will still migrate from the upper floor of the tower to occupy this place again, and in the end, they just let it go, after all. These rats rarely go out to do evil.

At this time, a group of strange fear rats caught Thorne's attention.

He found that in the horde of rats, there were many rats that were rotting all over, but they were still full of vitality, with scarlet blood shining in their eyes, and they shuttled freely in the nest.

"It seems that after the underground passage of the tower was destroyed, the negative energy emitted has already affected the first floor." Thorne whispered to himself.

After speaking, relying on his powerful stealth ability, he quietly walked towards the location indicated by the female player Alvi.

The building of the high tower is made of pure black magic bricks that even he can't recognize. From the intact walls on the first floor, it can be seen that the tower's strength is as strong as that of the dozen or so buildings in the upper town. street.

Then Thorn carefully began to observe the mysterious runes carved on the wall.

"It's actually very similar to the runes carved on the tower in Fallstown. Could it be that this tower has a very close connection with the Seeker organization?" Although Thorn didn't know much about mysterious knowledge, he found these runes Very similar to the Tower on the Falls.

Then, under his careful observation, he did not disappoint him and found a raised button mechanism with a square hole inside and a round outside, resembling a copper coin, so Thorne directly pressed it down.

"Boom!"

The moment the button was activated, a strange change occurred on the wall beside him, it rose directly, and then a pure white wall shone with magical aura, and engraved with the common characters of the mainland appeared in front of his eyes.

Thorne gently stroked the mottled bloodstains on the wall, and began to read the engravings on the wall:
They call it the Desperate War, and for good reason.

Many noble and proud friends died in this war, and with it all that they had long fought for.

Once, we lived in harmony and beauty. After coming here, we get along well with this land.But such an ideal life was shattered and reduced to ashes by the terrible existence that invaded us, and the minions who served them.

Steeped in rage, despair, and grief, some survivors have turned to the darkest things, casting spells we have reviled in good old days.

I have seen my Beloved desecrate himself with dark sorcery, negotiate with dark beings, submit his own flesh to their filthy caresses in exchange for weapons capable of destroying his foes.

When I condemned her actions, she told me that vengeance is now her only purpose in existence, in the name of everything she loves that was taken away, if she destroys enough enemies to save this precarious realm, The homeland we built together and all the residents were saved, so what does it matter no matter how heavily polluted the sword is now?

I was speechless to her then, and I am now.

Unfortunately, she failed, and I can only leave with sadness.

However, one day, I will come back!Take back everything that belongs to me!
