Chapter 264: The Mission of the Endless Tower
When he returned to the Endless Tower, Ganon still had an unreal feeling.
He couldn't help but call up "Watcher" again to confirm, but no matter how he looked, the Ark in Paradise Mountain had already moved far away from his territory. It could no longer be seen from any direction, and he had no intention of coming back.
He had prepared for the worst, that is, having to go to war with Heaven Mountain.
But after the lofty archangel showed up, the forces from Heaven Mountain who came with great momentum turned back so easily.
Archangel Erla also made an unimaginable concession: not only allowed Salil to stay, but also allowed them to transfer the divinity of the Holy Sword of Judgment Day back to the Seal, and only bring the body of the Holy Sword back to Heaven Mountain. .
Not only him, but Salil and Angst who were traveling with him were also confused by this inexplicable development.
But Ganoen knew who might have a clue.
He returned to the study and closed the door, then sat down on his chair and ordered solemnly: "Stone." "
I know." With the respectful response, earth and stone emerged from under the cracked floor tiles, converging into an exquisite statue. The golem said, "You may have questions to ask me, my lord."
"Then you must know what I want to ask." Ganon stared at the golem, thought for a while, and decided to let him ask questions in order first. , "First of all, do you know Archangel Ella?"
"Yes, after obtaining the divinity in that holy sword, memories related to Heaven Mountain appeared in my storage, including Archangel Ella. . The memory at that time was not clear, but after seeing the Ark and the Archangel himself, those memories revived." Shitou answered.
"How about you remember? Your memory seems to be more ambiguous than I thought." Ganouen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I'm really ashamed." Shitou bowed his head and apologized.
Ganon took out the permission letter to confirm, and said to Stone: "After absorbing the Tears of the Mother Goddess and the Disintegrating Blade, the repair progress of the Endless Tower is nearly halfway. You should have remembered a lot of things." "Yes
. , fragments of memories appeared. Please forgive me, it’s not that I deliberately concealed anything. These memories are too scattered and it is difficult for me to report them to you one by one. Maybe it is more appropriate for you to ask questions." "Okay." Ganouen was dubious
. Nodding, "Tell me about your memory about Archangel Ella. He seems to know the Endless Tower very well?" "
In my memory, Archangel Ella provided assistance when the Endless Tower was first built. ...It should be said that the forces of various major gods, including Heaven Mountain, have provided assistance." Shitou replied.
"Wait a minute, do you have memories from the beginning of construction?" Ganon suddenly noticed something.
The Tower of Infinity has been restored to this day, and the stone still behaves like a worn-out disk...or rather, an amnesiac. It is logical to speculate that before the construction of the Endless Tower is completed, its functions should be in a state of incompleteness, and it is unlikely that he will remember what happened at the beginning of its construction.
No, according to Ella, there was no so-called butler at the beginning of the Endless Tower.
Ganon thought about it and decided to continue asking questions in order: "Who built the Endless Tower? And for what purpose?" "
Based on the existing memories and circumstances, it is speculated that the person who built the Endless Tower is, It was the seven main gods, as well as their dependents and religious forces who were loyal to them. It was not just the Heavenly Mountain, but also the abyss, the giants who were the dependents of the God of War, and the various races and countries that believed in the main gods... and the Endless Tower was built The purpose seems to be to prevent a disaster." Shitou replied.
"Tell me carefully, what kind of disaster?" Ganon asked further.
"A disaster caused by the conflict between the gods. Regarding the details of the disaster, my stored memory is still missing. But according to the existing fragments, it was probably the gods who dedicated their lives to make up for their mistake. Power built the Endless Tower, and they disappeared from this world." Shitou replied.
"Did they sacrifice themselves to prevent this disaster?" Ganon immediately remembered the "sacrifice of the Supreme Light" mentioned by Ella. "Judging from the current situation, it should be like this." Shitou answered.
What disaster would require the sacrifice of all the Lord Gods! ? Ganon was suddenly shocked.
The Endless Tower was built for such a purpose, so the mission of the tower owner is to assist the gods in preventing this disaster?
The Endless Tower must have been established very long ago. Judging from the fact that the world is still running stably after the disappearance of the gods, that disaster must have been successfully prevented.
But Ganon suddenly thought of something: "But didn't the Endless Tower suddenly break at some point? Then shouldn't the mission of the Endless Tower be interrupted? Then wouldn't that disaster possibly come back again?"
"In my memory, with the rupture of the Endless Tower, the nature of the disaster seems to have changed, but specifically..." Shitou said.
"You don't want to say that this is all you remember, right?" Ganon frowned unsatisfied.
"Please forgive me." Shitou bowed and apologized.
This probably depends on the answer to the last question. Ganon thought secretly in his heart.
Then, he asked the last question that had been lingering in his mind: "What are you, a stone? Erla said that there is no steward in the Endless Tower. I don't think he needs to talk nonsense on this matter." "Very much.
" Sorry, I have no clue, and I don’t know how to explain it to you... From the moment I regained consciousness, I only realized that I must be loyal to you and assist you in restoring this tower." Shitou said and slowly opened his eyes. Arm, "I can only plead with you to believe me."
"How can you make me believe you like this?" Ganouen sighed helplessly.
"From the time we met until now, have I ever harmed you, my lord?" Shitou asked.
"No." Ganon shook his head, "But now you should be able to imagine that this is not enough."
After hearing this, he became more and more convinced that the stone was not a simple machine.
He suddenly remembered what he had speculated before, the additional two percent of the repair progress recorded in the permission book.
"I can't answer your doubts at the moment. In fact, I am also very confused. But now, I can only continue to complete my duties with all my strength to win your trust." Shitou said seriously, "Please give me a chance. I Master."
Ganon stared at the stone for a while, then let out a long breath: "Forget it, can I still dismantle you from the tower? Remember, don't hide anything from me. If you think of anything, just Report to me."
"Thank you for your generosity." Shitou bowed and saluted.
"You go down first, I want to take a rest." Ganon waved his hand and let the stone go first.
Ganouen was the only one left in the study.
In the end, he didn't press any further. He remembered Ella's last attitude towards the stone. In the end, Ella apparently saw something.
Ella obviously did not have any trust in his red dragon, but he still retained the divinity of Salil and Judgment Day. The most reasonable explanation is that he still has the most basic trust in a certain existence inside the stone. This gave Ganouen some peace of mind, so that he wouldn't really become suspicious.
He thought for a while and tried to contact the Elf King Orfield.
