Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2315: The Cruelty of the Black Mystery Tower

Of course, this is just one reason why there are so few undead nowadays.

Hill felt that it was not so impossible to find neutral souls in this world.

It’s just that these magic towers have learned their lesson through the hidden confrontation with the Xia Tower over the years.

They probably all knew about Lansendel's attributes from the side, so they didn't dare to let civilians die at this stage.

Although it's a bit helpless, the suffering of the common people has never been a problem for the magician.

Even for people whose life span is about to end, this problem can be solved with very cheap means...it's not just about making them young again and living a few more months.

As for the mortals in this world, even those who live a relatively decent life, it is basically impossible for them to reach the stage of dying of old age.

Food shortage, harsh environment, and nerves that are in constant fear are always very harmful to mortals.

The mages don't even need to use life-extending potions, they just need to replenish the vitality of these mortals.

In other worlds, it is not so easy for mortals to escape death.

This is a world where no old people can be seen except for mages.

Hill smiled and felt the stagnant air and awkward atmosphere in the City of Death.

In fact, he knew what Minghe was thinking... This guy probably planned to crush all the undead that appeared recently, as long as they were from the evil camp, into slag and use them as fertilizer for flowers.

After all, no one knows whether or not a soul will have traces of the devil.

Although Minghe never cares about those trivial matters, it does not mean that when he takes action, he will leave room for those existences that he does not even look down upon.

Asmodeus is not even of such value to him.

Then there are the souls of the neutral and good camps. After repeated cleansing, they can stay in the City of Death to do some auxiliary work.

Most of the undead are very concerned about their own existence. Even if they know that it is their soul essence that is reincarnated, no one will think that the ray of light is themselves.

The layers of matter wrapped around the aura, which are condensed by memory and personality, together form his soul.

So, generally speaking, the undead will stay in the City of Death until the last second.

The reason why the undead gather in the City of Death is because the power of the God of Death can slow down the rate at which their souls are destroyed.

Not to mention the souls favored by the god of death.

Even if it is not immortality, it can last for tens of thousands of years.

Is there anything better for a mortal than this?
Especially those messengers of death who have been granted power by the god of death can occasionally go to the mortal world to take a walk and take a look.

For mortals, being able to receive the gift of the power of death when the City of Death is just built would definitely be a great happiness.

Minghe’s idea was actually quite thoughtful.

Even he himself was not used to the particularity of this world.

Hill couldn't help laughing, because he always felt that there was a subtle conflict between the wizards in this world and the Styx.

Obviously, they were so cautious because they hoped to gain the favor of the future master of the world, but...

Just like the Black Mystery Tower back then.

Hill glanced slightly to the north...Ruth, who already knew what had happened and understood who he had been working hard for all these years, was not in a good state.

Fortunately, his eldest disciple, Oliva, although he had many shortcomings, was still sincere to his teacher.

When Rut was about to go insane and his magic power exploded, he brought Felice to him.

That child has become a serious soul mage and can resonate with the Black Mystery Tower.

However, what surprised Hill a little was that the being in the Black Mysterious Tower who was made into a soul tower spirit was Rut's teacher.

Although this was a bit harsh to hear, it was precisely because the teacher that Rut cared about the most, although deceived to the point of losing most of his self, was still an independent soul, that Rut remained calm when he saw his teacher holding on to Felice.

However, that was all Hill could see.

After Rutt recovered, the soul tower was put into full defense mode, and Hill could no longer observe.

But what Hill was sure of was that Felice had turned a disaster into a blessing. The soul that also discovered that he had been deceived suddenly cut off the connection with the Tower of Despair, and was eager to pass on his heritage in the shortest possible time.

After all, Ruth is not a soul mage, and there are many things that cannot be explained clearly just by word of mouth.

He didn't care much about it before, probably because he believed that the Tower of Despair preserved their heritage.

As long as the situation is settled, the disciples there will be able to return to the Black Mystery Tower and inherit control of the Soul Tower.

Of course, this has no effect on Root himself.

If they really won, then Rut, as the winner, would definitely get more and better benefits, and he wouldn't have to care about who would be in charge of the Soul Tower.

Moreover, to control the Soul Tower one must go through his Tower Spirit Teacher... New students can only respect him and absolutely dare not do anything to him.

If Rutte and his men lose the bet, then this will be their backup plan, and he doesn't need to care about what kind of person takes over.

The reason why he could believe what was happening in the Tower of Despair so much was because the person on the opposite side who had turned into the same tower spirit was Teacher Ruth's twin sister.

They are not twin brothers, they are real twins.

Moreover, perhaps because they had learned soul magic, coupled with their natural soul talent, the brother and sister could directly connect in their souls even though they were thousands of kilometers apart, and could even have easy conversations with each other.

Therefore, the Tower of Despair and the Tower of Darkness have been able to communicate secretly for so many years without telling the Tower of Xia and make so many intricate plans.

There is nothing wrong with Ruth's teacher, so the one with the problem must be the sister over there.

Some things work because there is never any doubt.

Once doubts arise, when you look carefully, you will find loopholes everywhere.

However, based on the few words that Hill heard, Ruth and his equally crazy teacher suspected that there was something wrong with his sister's teacher.

After all, from the very beginning, she was the one who confirmed that the Black Mystery Tower was targeted by the Xia Tower... But there was nothing to be confused about this.

There has never been a wizard who would be easily shaken and believe everything others say.

Everyone used their own methods to find clues: The Tower of Xia really wanted to attack their Black Mystery Tower.

However, a very important reason why the Black Mystery Tower was targeted by the Xiya Tower was that the sister's teacher was not only a Nine-Ring, but also a very strong Nine-Ring.

Even when standing next to the tower master played by Gracia, he was not much inferior.

That person has always been the soul figure and controller of the Soul Tower, and is the definite successor to the Black Mystery Tower.

For the mages of the Dark Tower, they were simply born at the wrong time.

Obviously there was such an excellent successor, but he failed to appear. The Tower of Xia was above all magic towers, and the world still belonged to the wizards tens of thousands of years ago.

No one had ever been dissatisfied with the fact that her excessive strength aroused the enemy's vigilance.

Anyway, that's what's happened, right?

Moreover, that person had never provoked Lord Xiata, but he wanted to destroy the entire Black Mystery Tower just because he felt threatened... This was the other party's viciousness, not their fault.

Of course, it is understandable that the lady would be confused and uneasy.

After all, even if it wasn't her strength that was to be blamed... but knowing all this, who could control their guilt?

Therefore, no one was too surprised that she kept running around outside and finally found a way to at least preserve the Black Mystery Tower, at a price that only the Soul Tower would have to pay.

Originally, this person was a person with both outstanding luck and strength.

Others encounter thieves when they go out, but she encounters inheritance and minerals.

Moreover, they didn't have much time left, which did not allow them to find another way.

Just like the people in the Defense Tower... These mages in the Soul Tower are not good people who care about the world, but when they can't survive, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the existence they care about.

As for souls and the like, they don't really care.

Given the status of the Black Mystery Tower, they already knew that it would be better to die quickly.

Anyway, I'm prepared to face the end of my soul being torn apart, so there's nothing wrong with being reluctant to dedicate my soul for the future of the entire faction.

However, if all of this was planned by the tower master they respected, then...

Hill thought that Rutte and the others were too miserable.

Maybe even the fact that Teacher Ruth's sister was favored by the tower master was a calculation.

It is actually quite rare for twins to be both mages and have spiritual talents.

Perhaps the only thing about Rut's teacher that was not in the other party's plan was that he accepted Rut, a student with ordinary talent.

After all, Rutt was indeed the one who got involved by mistake, and he was sincerely seeking revenge.

If the next controller of the Black Mystery Tower is also the student or descendant of the tower master, then it would be really doomed!

However, because of Rut's existence, his teacher was determined not to accept anyone else as his contractor.

Although he was cheated badly, at least he still had a chance to breathe.

I just don’t know what the situation is with that sister.

Hill was actually a little curious about Root and the others' future choices, but it was not yet to the point where he had to know.

But Minghe seemed to have seen his movements and asked, "Do you want to know what's going on at the Black Mystery Tower?"

"Can you see what's happening in that soul tower?" Hill asked sharply.

"Yes." Styx replied calmly, "His soul lost control due to rage, so I took back some of the control."

Hill nodded...The Black Mystery Tower was originally built by his believers.

Perhaps realizing that his thoughts had been diverted, the City of Death suddenly let out another roar.
