Dawn of the Grey Tower

"General Quwa, the first batch of slaves completed their task. The response of the people on the ground has been recorded by us. Please look over." It is said that it is over. In fact, the texts that pass between the sea monsters are more of a use. The way the carved concave-convex sense conveys meaning is quite different from the fact that the above-ground races record information through specific symbols and lines. But this is not to say that there is no such thing in the Kraken, but that graphic characters have always been regarded as extremely sacred things. Imagine how there is a creation in this world that can read the full meaning just by watching? This is simply amazing and too sublime. Therefore, the use of graphic characters has always been used for religious matters. The sea monsters believe that these sacred words can allow the gods they worship to understand their ideas, and the nobles and scholars in the sea monsters more or less understand Learn this kind of writing to express loyalty to the deity.

Qu Wa took the slate handed over by the staff, and his fingers flicked quickly over it. The size, layout, and so on of the entire Frustrated Bay Fleet immediately appeared in his mind. Hand back the white slate to the staff. This kind of soft rock is a unique mineral deposit discovered by sea monsters on the seabed. It can even be said that this soft white rock allowed the development and popularization of the contact text of sea monsters. "Have everyone read it?" The others in his mouth were Li Tao's other military personnel. As for the priests, if they are interested in military affairs, they will ask the staff for this information, but most of the time, the priests believe that the victory of war is more important than strategy, and the will of Ms. Tidal. Although they also use the art of warfare as a way to please the goddess, they are essentially different in what the soldiers and priests talk about and think about.

The staff nodded. While transmitting the information to Quwa, everyone else got the same text. Just as the general was about to issue new commands based on the collected data, a strange voice came from the high platform covered by the curtain above. It was the cry of the dolphin, to be precise, the cry of a very rare white dolphin, and the reason why the person who heard the sound can be so sure, mainly because this white dolphin is the chief priest of today Pet, or partner. Therefore, the cry of the white dolphin is the words of the high priest. As for why the high priest did not speak in person like before when Ishtar was appointed, it was mainly because the body, soul, and emotion of the priest belonged to the gods she served, even the voice. When she spoke, she must be reading the will of the goddess on her behalf. As a mortal priest, he replaced himself with the voice of a white dolphin.

"Under the crown means she wants to see the information." A younger priestess walked to Quwa without any humility in her tone. This is not because of her arrogance, but because at this time she is communicating with the general as the will of the high priest, just like the goddess through the body of the high priest to talk to the believers. In fact, the legs of this young priest have softened a little because of awe. You know, General Quwa in front of her is the most warrior general in the centuries of the Li Tao Clan, starting with the soldiers and relying on his own strength step by step. The man who came to this position. If it is said that the most noble woman in the entire Li Tao is the chief priest of the goddess, then the most powerful and majestic man is Quwa.

Instead of ignoring the priest, the general turned and raised his head toward the high platform obliquely above. This platform has a total of three layers, in a ladder shape, the highest layer belongs to the high priest, symbolizing the gods above all, the middle layer belongs to the priests and soldiers, they are the executors of the goddess ’will in the realm, and the lowest layer, Are the civilians of Li Tao, as for slaves and prisoners of war? In the eyes of these goddesses' darlings, they are not the same creatures as themselves, and they are naturally not worthy of gaining a place on these three steps. The position of Quwa and his staff is just below the stairs from the third floor to the second floor, which is the place closest to the goddess except the priests. "Under the crown, please focus on the control of the mist now. The trivia on the battlefield is left to me and my subordinates to deal with. You don't have to worry about it."

The presence on the highest stair was silent for a moment, but it didn't take long for the white dolphin's voice to ring again. Qu Wa closed his eyes and said nothing more. He saluted respectfully toward the stairs, and then gave the stone slab in his hand to the previous priest. The latter was holding a stone slab with both hands, as if holding a fragile gemstone, but it was impossible to make it clear to the high priest. The priestess finally swelled after the shoulder chin was stretched out several times. Courage walked up the ladder. Every time she took a step, her body was trembling with tension, and every step she took, all the priests looked at her with an expression of envy. The goddess has her own way of expressing her favor. The more a priest can approach her, the more she is appreciated.

The steps on the platform have a total of 365 steps, symbolizing the number of sun rises and sunsets in a year. Every thirty to thirty-one steps is a major step, representing a cycle of the moon from lack to full. The distribution of the three steps is not equal, with a total of 266 steps from the lowest to the middle level, and a total of 99 steps from the middle to the upper level. The steps from the bottom to the middle are clearly divided, and civilians of every profession are told how high they can reach at most, which creates a highly hierarchical structure in the Litao society. The ninety-nine steps from the middle to the upper level are not strictly planned, because these steps are not controlled by mortals. Who can walk on these steps is entirely determined by the will of the goddess. And when he instructed a sea monster to step on the 99th step, it indicated the birth of the next chief priest.

The priest holding the stone slab, it is difficult to take a half step to the twentieth level ~ www.readwn.com ~ She bit her lip, her face showing an unwilling look. But this look faded quickly, and forcing forward on the sacred ninety-nine steps was a great disrespect to Ms. Tidal. She had to kneel on the steps and raised the stone slab over her head, after which it was not her task. "Guru" the water, rolling in the sea, took the slate away from the hand of the priestess, all the way up and flew into the veil. The next thing is a long silence.

Neither Quwa nor his staff, no one dared to act privately before the high priest commented on the information. This sounds like it will delay military aircraft, and it is also true. But the goddess never disappointed her followers. Facts have proved that as long as there is a high priest's suggestion, then that battle will surely end with Li Tao's victory. But this time, the will of the goddess did not come, the slate flew out again as it entered the mantle, and fell under the steps. This means that this battle depends on the mortals themselves. But this is the result that Quwa wanted. As a soldier, he used war as his sacrifice method to please the goddess, so he didn't want to get the goddess' help in the sacrifice process.

"Give me orders to the troops!" The general did not care about the slate, and turned his head to convey the battle plan conceived in his mind to his subordinates. The priest kneeling down on the twentieth step finally stood up and walked slowly down the stairs. She walked to the slab and bent over to pick it up. Only then did she discover that the front of the slab had a fissure with a finger!
