"Is it appropriate to reveal your and Mo Yu's origins in front of this inexplicable weirdo?" said the thief Gallo.
"Anyway, his ending will not change. He is already dead, in every sense of the word." Gawain said nonchalantly, "Now, who cares about the Seven Holy Towers? The scriptures we have passed down have long said that the other six holy towers have disappeared, and there are no real successors. Over the years, the Temple of Nature has given up looking for us. I guess we are almost forgotten."
"I don't care about things like the Sword Tower. You just came up to me and gave me the title of successor." Mo Yu said, "I am just pursuing stronger and stronger power according to my own heritage."
Gawain was probably used to hearing this kind of talk, so he just smiled and said, "This guy won't die, maybe because he is bound to some kind of soul-sustaining object. As long as that object is not destroyed, no matter how many times you kill him, he can slowly be resurrected."
"Isn't this invincible?" Gallo asked.
"No." The priest-like girl said, "Repairing the body requires a price. The soul will definitely be weakened with each rebirth. Unlimited rebirth is just a theoretical state. Such a necromancer can only be reborn four or five times at most, and then his realm will drop to the point where he cannot be reborn. In short, just kill a few more times."
"Hey, then do as Bella said. Isn't dealing with the undead what priests are best at in legends?" Gallo said, "Except for you, there are probably not many real priests in this world, right?"
"The nameless god I believe in is not interested in these things. She only focuses on beautiful and intelligent things." Bella said, "Let you do this kind of thing. What we lack the most in our team is vandals."
Gawain said, "Then let me do it. This man has killed so many civilians and created undead spirits. He is a conclusive criminal. There is no need to waste time talking to him."
Without his hand touching the sword at his waist, the sword slipped out of the scabbard automatically, made a sword flower in the air, and chopped at the captured man.
The sword moved flexibly in the air as if it had life, bypassed the bars at the cell door, and pierced the man's heart.
The prisoner raised his head because of the severe pain. He said, "Wait a minute, I know something about the other six holy towers."
"Are you trying to delay time?" Gawain said disdainfully. He pulled his sword out from the prisoner's chest and was about to go for his throat again.
"I have evidence!" the prisoner shouted. This man's body was indeed very different. Although his heart was pierced, he was still able to speak without being affected. "I am the inheritor of the Soul Tower. I did not tie my soul to some kind of soul-retaining object. The thing that guarantees my life is called the "Eternal Life Brand". It is the Holy Book of the Soul Tower that I obtained. It is different from ordinary soul-retaining objects. Even if you kill me, it will not damage my soul. Because the power of resurrection is provided by this holy book.
I also used the same sacred book of the Spirit Tower, the "Book of the Dead", to create the undead in White Lake Town. If you do some research on the undead, you will find that the undead there are much less gloomy and are much more resistant to light magic. They are different from the low-end products of those necromancers!"
"Ha, the name is well made. The name of this holy book really sounds like that." Gallo said.
"It is true. If you really know the story of the Spirit Tower, you must have heard of the names of these two holy books." The prisoner argued loudly.
Garro wanted to laugh at him, but Gawain stopped him with his hand. His expression became serious. "The names of these two books are indeed true. And their functions are consistent with what this person said. However, the heir of the Spirit Tower actually came to a place like this to use civilians to create an army of undead. This is beyond my imagination."
The prisoner said, "I was chased by my enemies and fled here. I must find a way to increase my strength. Otherwise, not only will I be killed, but the inheritance of the Spirit Tower will also fall into the hands of others."
"You are so confident." Gawain sneered, "But you don't know that the connection between the seven holy towers is closer than you think. The mages in different towers have the power to supervise the right and wrong of others. According to the rules at that time, if you did something like this, I would not have fulfilled my responsibility if I didn't chop you into seventeen or eighteen pieces."
Gawain took a few steps forward, stared at the prisoner and said, "Even if you have the 'Eternal Life Brand', what does it matter? If I lock you up and kill you over and over again, and then revive you, you will definitely envy those who can die cleanly in one go."
"What do you want to do?" the prisoner asked.
"Tell me your true identity and what you know about the other six holy towers." Gawain said, "Don't hide anything. Bella will know whether you are telling the truth or not."
"Okay... I'll tell you." The prisoner hesitated a little but still spoke, "Those who inherited the Seven Towers Mage's legacy just fought a war with the Empire more than two years ago. The Emperor of the Empire died at that time, which is why the Empire is now in such a fragmented situation. I... used to be one of them, but later I became a grudge against them for some reason! Now, I can only be considered their enemy."
"Are you talking about the Tower of China? That is a new magic tower that appeared out of nowhere and was very active in the previous war. Are you saying that they are actually the descendants of the other six holy towers?" Gawain asked.
"Yes, the Tower of China has all the inheritances except the Tower of Sword. Maybe not so complete, but it has every kind."
At this time, Mo Yu, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly interrupted and said, "I think I've heard this name before, China... It feels very familiar. Gao Wen, why have you never mentioned it before?"
"Hmm? Of course I mentioned it. Many of the things you use come from there." Gao Wen was stunned. He sighed and said, "However, when you are seriously practicing, how can you remember these things? Besides, they are far away from us. There is a whole empire between us. You are not the kind of person who cares about politics, so you will not take the initiative to inquire."
Mo Yu snorted and said to the prisoner: "Tell me, what kind of place is this China Tower and what kind of people are there. I always have a feeling that my past is related to that place." (To be continued)
