Chapter 184 Hysteresis
Let’s make an assumption first——

Roland guessed that Anvilia should still be inside the White Tower.

Roland took a deep look at Scott, and bit his lips lightly.

He made this judgment not without reason.

After the star caller went to the astral world through the ceremony, the white tower was almost defenseless in the eyes of the gods.

Not to mention the priests, but most of the wizards don't know who the owner of the fifth tower of the White Tower is.

Roland had asked Claudia this question before, and the answer she gave was that she didn't know.

This is the result obtained under the premise that she has an older brother studying in the White Tower.

Leaving aside the wizards outside the White Tower, and just mentioning An Ruosi, the answer is the same.

As the chief and the Star Caller's direct disciple, he needed a special opportunity to enter the fifth tower to tidy up - or clean up.

In the eyes of most White Tower wizard apprentices, the presence of the fifth tower of the White Tower is really low.

Compared with some common sense about the fifth tower, there will be more urban legends about the fifth tower.

Not to mention the gods - Roland estimated that the senior officials of the White Tower subconsciously ignored the defensive capabilities of the fifth tower.

And Roland knew in his heart that if the gods really invaded, the fifth tower would indeed not organize defense.

As the only backup storage place for all the data of the White Tower, the Fifth Tower can fulfill its mission as long as it exists.

Not only will it not organize a defense, but it will also occupy the White Tower's energy storage and banish the Fifth Tower to other dimensions, and will only return after everything calms down completely.

In this case, the interior of the White Tower can be said to be defenseless.

In case the gods see through the white tower's empty city plan, or simply think too little and don't attack from the outside, and send priests directly into the white tower to destroy it, there is a considerable chance that the white tower will be blown into ruins directly.

There is no need to do anything else—as long as the energy supply of the second tower is cut off, or a certain degree of damage is caused to the second tower, the ceremony will be interrupted directly.

First of all, Starcaller probably won't come back alive - at the same time, the second tower will explode, causing terrible damage.

That power is definitely not enough to destroy the world, but it is not a problem at all to reduce the entire White Pagoda to ruins.

With Anvilia's relationship with the Star Caller, it was impossible for her to get his divination during this trip.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but sneer.

From Merlin's reaction, Roland guessed that the Starcaller must have carried out the divination in this regard, and told the other tower owners that the White Tower was bound to collapse.

In this case, Anvilia couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

The tower owners of the third and fourth towers can't be contacted now, and Merlin has to protect the fifth tower so he can't make a move.After the star caller entered the astral world, once Anvilia left the white tower, looking at the white tower really became an empty shell.

Even if there is something that can only be resolved by asking Anvilia to go out in person, Anvilia must first show up at the White Tower to prove to the enemies that she is here before she can go out with confidence.

Moreover, the timing of her appearance must be well grasped.

The gods are not stupid either.If it was just a simple trial and Anvilia had to take action to solve it, then either Anvilia was guilty, or the White Tower's defense was so fragile that it seemed like nothing.

No matter which result it is, it is not what Anvilia wants to see.

Now that Scott is here to stay, there are only two options left for Anvilia.

Bet that the gods will not launch a general attack in a short time, leaving Scott to defend, and finish what she has to do as quickly as possible.

——Or, just hide in the White Tower first.Waiting for the enemy to be sure that she has left the White Tower before coming out to slap her in the face, making the enemy even more afraid to move.

Based on what Roland knew about Anvilia, she would most likely choose the option below.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly.

If it is the first case, then there is no problem for Roland to meet Merlin on this trip.

However, if it is the second case, Roland might as well go to see Anvilia directly.

Compared to Merlin, who didn't know much about saints, it was easier for Roland to communicate with Anvilia, who had some relationship with the Sleeping Mentor.

And if Roland wants to meet Anvilia, it's actually quite easy——

Roland suddenly asked, "Master Scott, what is Master Merlin looking for from us?"

However, Scott not only did not answer Roland's question, but stopped in his tracks.

"How did you know my name?"

Although the tone was questioning, in Scott's mouth it was so calm that he seemed to be repeating some kind of truth: "I don't remember introducing myself."

"The princess's magic dog is very famous."

As if infected by Scott, Roland's words also calmed down.

Hearing Roland's reply, Scott pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "... Sure enough."

Then he turned around.

At that moment, Roland felt a heavy pressure.

It was as if what he was facing at the moment was not a slender human being, but a beast in human skin——

When Roland saw Scott's ice-blue eyes, he suddenly felt the world around him distort.

It blurs, then swirls, and finally melts completely into a dizzying gray distorted landscape.

The chaotic ticking of the second hand rang in Roland's ears.

In Roland's eyes, only Scott, the "person", can still maintain the original state - all the rest are stretched, and the colors become strange and distorted.

Even though he was prepared, an inexplicable fear still gripped Roland's heart.

It wasn't something low-end and boring like intimidation, nor was it a false illusion.

It is life's instinctive fear of death.

——No, strictly speaking, it should be an irresistible force for beings bound by the river of time.

That's an experience that you can't get in the game anyway.

Not in the form of DEBUFF, but real fear.

Mixed with nausea, vomiting, and weakness.

Is this... the power of "hysteresis"?
Roland's pupils trembled slightly.

He couldn't help but clenched his fists.

This is the origin of Scott - hysteresis.

With the addition of origin, a second in the outside world will be extended ten times in Scott's mind.

This made anything swift in Scott's eyes sluggish.It also allowed Scott to be better at quiet thinking than anyone else.

But as we all know, if the origin is less than the level of the highest spire, it is uncontrollable.

Scott's days are ten times longer than anyone else's.

This is actually a curse too.

Every word other people said, in Scott's ears, would be distorted out of shape after being brutally elongated.No matter how pleasant the sound was before, it will become a real noise.

Scott's understanding of music only stopped before he broke free from the road of awakening.

For more than 800 years after that, Scott lived alone in a world full of noises and distorted images.

If it weren't for Anvilia, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy long ago.

That's why Roland always used short sentences without any etiquette when talking to him.

This is the most comfortable way of speaking for Scott.

"I am a voter of the Sleeping Mentor."

Without the slightest pretense, Roland said straight to the point.
