"You have to know that Saint Amaranto has been against this matter from the beginning. He has always believed that the current Sword Tower is no longer the Sword Tower of the Seven Towers era. If your teacher is still inheriting the will of the predecessors of the Seven Towers, then he... his ideas are probably completely opposite." Elder Druette said.
Gawain said, "Now that we are here, we can't go back. Saint Amaranto is now the acting master of the Sword Tower, so let's go meet him."
Drut said, "Well, there should be an explanation. Come with me, but be careful in front of Saint Amaranto."
"Saint Augustine, Saint Amaranto and Saint Ivette are the three saints of the contemporary Sword Tower. Although their names are not known to the world, their strength is no weaker than those well-known saints. My master is the oldest. Saint Amaranto is over eighty years old and Saint Ivette is only sixty years old. They are not from the same generation." Gao Wen explained to Mo Yu.
"It sounds like your efforts have been wasted. This saint seems to have no interest in restoring the Wild Sword Flow." Mo Yu said.
Gao Wen said in a deep voice: "This is not something he can decide. The power you hold is the root of everything."
Drut said, "Do you want her to open the Berserker Tower? Only master-level Berserkers are qualified to open it!"
Gao Wen laughed and said, "Master? You underestimate her."
Ignoring Druut's surprise, Gawain said to Mo Yu, "The Sword Tower is divided into the Crazy Sword Tower and the Secret Sword Tower. The two towers belong to the Crazy Sword School and the Secret Sword School respectively. However, since the inheritance of the Crazy Sword School was cut off after the God-killing War, the upper level of the Crazy Sword Tower has never been opened. However, the Furious Holy Sword representing the power of the Crazy Sword Tower has been locked on the top of the Crazy Sword Tower. According to the rules left by the Lord of the Hastings Tower, only by obtaining the Furious Holy Sword of the Crazy Sword Tower and the Secret Sword of the Secret Sword Tower at the same time, the Lord of the Sword Tower can obtain the qualification of a true Lord. So before this, including my teacher Saint Augustine, all the Lords had only one Secret Sword, so they were actually acting Lords."
After hearing this, Mo Yu asked, "So if one person holds the Mystic Holy Sword and the other holds the Violent Holy Sword, who will be the master of the Sword Tower?"
Gao Wen said: "It depends on the nomination of the crowd... or the two of them will compete against each other. When there is more than one candidate for the tower master, the Sword Tower will often hold a tower master competition to let these people decide the winner. Unlike other magic towers, the tower master of the Sword Tower is often the strongest among them."
"It's really interesting." Mo Yu said.
Gao Wen asked, "Why? Are you thinking of competing for the position of tower master?"
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "What's the point of being a tower master? It sounds very troublesome. I'm not that bored. But don't forget the mission given to me by the God of Time, which is to bring the Sword Tower to the Chinese Tower. Although I don't like gods very much, since my compatriots need it, of course I have to get this done.
If this Saint Amaranto is unwilling to hand over the Tower of Swords, then I will naturally have to ask him to step down from his position and replace him with someone who is willing to cooperate."
Gao Wen and Mo Yu did not lower their voices during their conversation, and Elder Druut, who was walking beside them, heard what they said. He was very surprised, wondering whether these two people were extremely powerful or extremely arrogant.
After walking through the canyon for more than ten minutes, a group of people saw a valley ahead. The temperature here was much higher than outside. There was no snow on the ground, but there was grass everywhere. The trees were lush and green. Although the temperature was still a little cold, it felt like late autumn at most.
It was on a piece of land shaded by trees. Mo Yu saw the Sword Tower for the first time. It was two interlaced slender stones that formed an X-shape. The two huge stones, one gray with orange and the other gray with purple, intersected in the middle.
A fairly large village has formed around this strange magic tower.
On the outskirts of the village, there are large fields. Mo Yu doesn’t know what is planted in these fields. It seems a little different from the crops she saw in the empire.
There were fruit trees on the edge of the field, and a few people who looked like peasant women were standing there picking the white fruits.
"This is the Sword Tower, and it's also where I grew up. I grew up in this village and was chosen to go to the tower to be trained as a secret swordsman. The blue tower is the Secret Sword Tower, and the red one is the Mad Sword Tower." Gao Wen pointed at the Sword Tower and introduced it to Mo Yu.
"Have you always stayed in this village and almost never gone out?" Mo Yu asked.
"Some of us will go to other places on the continent to record and observe the current situation outside, but most people are born here, grow up here, and die here." Gao Wen said, "You can stay in my house today. It has been empty for five years."
Elder Druut said, "You'd better go see Saint Amaranto now. The news of your return should reach him soon. Instead of waiting for him to make all the preparations before you go to see him, you should go to see him now.
No matter what you plan to do, you should at least meet him first."
"You are right. Is he in the Tower of Secret Sword now?" Gawain asked.
"Today is the day for selecting swordsman trainees. He should be in the village hall, testing the children who come to participate in the assessment.
We can go there and take a look.”
"Selecting swordsman students?" Gao Wen said to Mo Yu, "I was selected in this way more than 20 years ago. Now is a good opportunity for you to gain some experience."
The auditorium that Drutt mentioned was very close to the bottom of the Sword Tower. It was a large courtyard with a wall outside. However, many parents brought their children here to participate in the selection today, and they were all queuing at the gate of the courtyard.
Mo Yu saw that most of the children were about five or six years old, and many of the children and their parents had expectant looks on their faces.
"It's an honor to be able to participate in such a selection, right?"
"Of course, any child who is chosen will have the chance to be trained as a secret swordsman. The supplies that the Sword Tower gives to the secret swordsmen alone can support a whole family. There is no parent here who does not want their child to become a member of the Sword Tower."
At this time, Mo Yu walked to the front of the main gate of the yard and saw the scene in the yard. There was an old man in a long robe standing in front of a child, observing the candidate carefully.
"That's Amaranto," Gawain said. (To be continued)
