There is a highland in the north of Baicheng. It is separated from all urban areas and is tightly protected by an additional city wall. The most elite guards and the most powerful mages of Talos swear by their lives and have been stationed around this highland for generations. The permanent air-forbidden force field has been running over the highlands for three centuries. Neither a dragon nor a bird can fly over the highlands. On the ground, there is only one road extending from the Royal Quarter to the highlands. The entrance—such strict protection is only to protect one thing, and that is the foundation of any country of order, the Tower of Sunburn.
This tall tower stands proudly on the platform, its scale is more magnificent than any other buildings in the White City, the top of the Golden Rose Palace can only be even with the half waist of the Sunburnt Tower. The body of the white tower is made of the purest enchanted moonstone, engraved on the surface with ancient runes that can only be fully interpreted by scholars in the sanctuary, blue and golden crystals are inlaid on the outer wall of the tower according to certain rules, so The formed powerful energy field soaked the land around the entire highland with magic power, and at the top of this streamlined white tower, three huge white crystals revolved around the "Yangyan crystal" on the top of the tower, and will come from the inside of the tower. The powerful force of order spreads to the sky day and night.
Unlike other sacred objects of order, the Sunburnt Tower does not emit such a strong and obvious beam of light. In fact, apart from a circle of faint light, this sacred and powerful giant tower will not emit any additional light at all: The Sunburnt Tower is not used to light up the barrier of order, its main function is to serve as the energy redistribution center and divine power hub of all order towers (including the furnace and fire tower) in the kingdom. Within a state-level barrier of order, all the towers are connected in the dark, and their power forms a sea of energy in another dimension invisible to human beings, and the true power of the Sunburnt Tower The form is hidden in this sea of energy, where it shines brightly and controls all the forces of order.
The above is the knowledge constructed by the scholars of Kolo World through various calculation models. In fact, in the eyes of human beings, the connection between the Sunburnt Tower and other towers is completely invisible.
However, Hao Ren could see it.
He followed Rudolf III, the princesses, and the princes to the Tower of Sunburn. When he looked up, he saw countless light silver rays extending from the top of the tower. These rays criss-crossed in the sky, forming a large The net covered almost the entire sky above the plateau, and these lights gradually faded away from the sunburnt tower, and disappeared at the end of the line of sight.
Rudolph III came to the gate of the Tower of Sunburn. The old king put his hand on the gate made of mithril and whispered the oath left by the ancestor Kolo and the Goddess of Creation. With a rumbling sound, the door gradually slid open to both sides.
Inside is a space filled with light.
Light beams criss-cross in a huge space, refracted out of thin air or bent along invisible media, forming complex and changeable mysterious three-dimensional patterns, while a piece of pure white crystal is suspended in the center of all the rays of light, refracting continuously during the rotation of the crystal. All kinds of grotesque scenes, under the crystal, is a pool with a radius of about two meters, which is filled with a crystal clear liquid that looks like condensed light.
Hao Ren observed carefully and found that there was actually a layer of something floating above the liquid. After watching for a long time, he realized that it was an extremely thin and translucent silver-white flame that was almost invisible.
The flame burns silently above the liquid, as if ready to be extinguished at any moment.
"This is the sacred fire of order in the Sunburnt Tower." Rudolf III came to the pool and looked at the phantom-like silver-white flames quietly. "For the past seven years, my blood has continued to burn here, and its most vigorous At that time, almost the entire holy white crystal could be wrapped in it, but now... "
Hao Ren thought about it, and decided to express his opinion in a more tactful way: "I think it should be gone soon."
"Veronica will ignite these flames, and the inheritance of the Talos Kingdom will continue," Rudolf III said, looking at his only descendant who still has the power of a guardian, "Veronica, ignite this flame At the moment, you will take over my scepter, and you will become the new ruler of Talos. As a queen, you should use your power carefully, and you can no longer be as reckless and willful as before."
Veronica froze for a moment, apparently the knight princess hadn't thought about it so much before: "Ah? Father, you didn't say it before..."
"You should know what it means to ignite the holy flame," the king waved his hand, "I brought you here not for fun, but to let you see the future fate of the kingdom. Veronica, darkness has fallen, and this On this continent, or even on all continents, the kingdom of order will be extinguished in the long night, and Talos is very likely to become the last lighthouse in the long night. This is a difficult time, but we have no choice. Maybe our kingdom will finally have The day will be extinguished, but you, as the guardian of the kingdom, let them spend at least the last century of peace."
Veronica moved her lips, and the strong knight princess also flinched a little in a rare way: "Father, I... don't think I can be a good king. In terms of ability alone, Arnia is much smarter than me, so I can only go Battlefield, other times I'm stupid."
Rudolph III looked at his eldest daughter quietly. After a long time, the old king showed a smile on his face: "I know."
Veronica coughed immediately: "Ahem... Father, you can be more tactful."
Rudolph III sighed: "I thought about it for a long time, but I really didn't realize that you have the potential to be a king."
Veronica: "…"
"Cough cough," Hao Ren couldn't stand it at this moment, and interrupted the increasingly weird conversation between the father and daughter with a dry cough, "Then what, it's not time for us to explain our funeral, right? Didn't we agree earlier? Well, let me take a look at this... the situation of the Sunburnt Tower, anyway, I am also a clergyman. If there is nothing I can do here, it is not too late for you to discuss the matter of abdication."
Grand Duke Luen, who had been standing behind the king without saying a word, also took a step forward at this moment. He glanced at Hao Ren expressionlessly, and nodded slightly: "The guardian's words are reasonable. Perhaps the Sanctuary has a way to reactivate the tower's systems without using blood power."
Rudolph III took a deep breath when he heard the words: "In that case, Guardian, please."
The king didn't have much expectation in his tone, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
There is indeed one Veronica left in the Talos Kingdom who can rekindle the flames, but the blood descendants of other countries on the continent have all lost their power. If this trend continues, the Talos Kingdom will become the last sanctuary in the chaos However, such a future is not bright even for the people in the shelter: the chaotic power of the entire world will be crushed on this border kingdom, and the result will be nothing more than prolonging the time of death. So even if there is a glimmer of possibility, Rudolf III also hopes that the sunburnt towers of every country of order can be relit, not only for the continuation of the entire world, but also for the sake of a brighter future for his kingdom.
Now that Sanctuary has lost contact, Hao Ren is obviously the only hope.
In this hopeful gaze, Hao Ren came to the bottom of the huge crystal. He bent down and carefully observed the pool filled with the strange liquid.
The fluid was clearly not water, but it wasn't blood either.
Burning silently above the liquid is not a normal flame either - it has no warmth at all.
"Can I put my hands in it?" He looked up and asked His Majesty the King, "I have washed my hands before."
His Majesty the King was stunned for a moment. He never thought that the technical means of the "Guardian" inspection device would be so simple and rude, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no such thing in the taboo of using the Sunburnt Tower, so he nodded: " Yes, but be careful when you put it in, the water looks like nothing, but in fact contains very strong energy, and ordinary people can’t touch it for too long.”
Hao Ren nodded, and cautiously put his finger on the silver-white water.
The moment his fingertips touched the surface of the liquid, he suddenly felt a wave in his spiritual world.
This feeling was fleeting, and it seemed to be some kind of illusion for a short time, but Hao Ren still keenly captured the momentary change just now, and he quickly judged: it was not an illusion!
At that moment just now, he seemed to sense that his spiritual link to the outside world was loosened for a moment!
He withdrew his hand, and saw that the silver-white thin liquid on his fingertips was disappearing little by little, as if evaporating out of thin air, and the feeling of establishing a spiritual connection before was still lingering in his heart.
Hao Ren frowned. This time he was prepared in advance, and after concentrating, he put his finger into the "water" again.
"... answer, call, call, Juguiyantai calls the captain, please answer if you hear it, call, call..."
Nolan's voice echoed in his mind.
Hao Ren's heart was filled with a big groan - after a long time of tossing around, this Tower of Sunburn can be used as wifi!
