Chapter 265: The Mage Studying the Endless Tower
“It’s not surprising that the Archangel of Heaven Mountain knows about the Endless Tower. Since the Endless Tower is a project that gathers the power of the gods, then I think those who have lived from that era to the present should be I know this more or less."
After learning about the recent events in the Endless Tower from Ganon, the Elf King Orphide seemed very indifferent.
"The existence that survived from that era..." Ganon pondered.
To be honest, he didn't know exactly in which era this Endless Tower was built.
Orfield seemed to see his doubts and expressed his speculation: "If the Endless Tower is directly related to the departure of the gods, combined with the remaining records of the Elf Winter Empire, we can roughly conclude that the Endless Tower The construction date is limited to between 1,500 and 1,300 years ago. The traces I investigated from the Endless Tower generally confirm this."
About 1,500 years ago?
I'm afraid not many people can live from that era to now, even if they live as long as elves, they won't live that long.
Legendary creatures such as true dragons, angels, demons, and giants may live that long, but the lives of such creatures are often accompanied by strife, and they rarely live to a happy end.
Even if a dragon was born in the era when the Endless Tower was built, it must be an ancient dragon by now.
Ganon suddenly remembered that Angst had mentioned that the Blue Dragon King Glendel was entrenched near the original ruins of the Endless Tower. Perhaps he also survived from that era.
"Your Majesty Offfield, you have been studying in my tower for so long last time. Did you find any other information?" Ganon asked.
"To be honest, I just did some general research that day, and it wasn't really much research..." Offfield replied.
"You don't have to be modest. You ignored the conflict between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Angst and focused on studying until you said goodbye." Ganon teased.
"...Are you still resenting me for leaving this mess to you?" Offfield asked.
"I just hope you can give me a little help." Ganon said.
"The only result that I can call useful is to analyze the name of the previous tower owner." Offfield said in an understatement.
But this result was enough to surprise Ganouen: "Where is the name of the tower owner?" "The
relief pattern on the base of the stone floor clock in the hall is actually a special ancient writing that records the construction of the floor clock. It is a record of a gift given to the tower owner by the author, so it has the name of the tower owner on it. This kind of writing is rare and has been lost for a long time. It took me a long time to find its source text, it is..." Offfield is still chattering. to explain.
Ganon interrupted him: "What is the name of the last tower master?"
He just wanted to know some useful information as soon as possible.
Offfield sighed softly, seeming to feel sorry for Ganouen's lack of interest in academic discussions, and then answered Ganouen's question: "All I can tell you is the pronunciation. If my analysis is not wrong, the previous The name of the first tower master... was called Baphomet."
Ganon was stunned.
In his mind, the female druid he had seen in the Principality of Xihe immediately appeared, as well as the terrifying appearance she transformed into.
The woman called herself Baphomet—which happened to be the name of the previous tower owner that Offfield found out.
Among the memories stored in the stone, there are fragments related to "Baphomet" who turned into a monster, and the stone identified her as an enemy. The woman who called herself Baphomet also tried to use the power of the Principality of Xihe to take action against the Endless Tower.
This can't be a coincidence!
Is she the previous tower owner? Does she want to take back the Endless Tower? Ganon thought with some surprise.
No, if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit imprudent to use your real name so blatantly. It is not impossible that the enemies of the Endless Tower know the name of the previous tower owner and use it falsely.
"Do you have any impression of this name?" Offfield asked when he saw that he didn't respond for a long time.
"Yes." Ganon took a deep breath and explained his experience in the Principality of Xihe to Offfield.
"I heard Liz mention this." Offfield thought for a while after listening, and then expressed his conclusion, "No matter whether she is the former tower owner or a simple enemy, she is very likely to It has something to do with the accident that happened to the Endless Tower." "What do you think of the 'Baphomet' I mentioned?" Ganon asked.
"Liz has the right to speak on this point. Since she knows about this, you should ask her." Offfield said.
"Yes, she said that the essence of the power exerted by Baphomet is also an interference with life. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the Druid's spells, but the effects of all the spells are obviously distorted and disorderly. She thinks that the other party's It should indeed be a Druid spell, but it has been affected by other powers." Ganon replied.
"Nothing known about the power of the seven main gods can achieve this effect. Maybe..." Offfield paused and suddenly made a bold guess, "It is some kind of power other than the main gods, maybe it is similar to the endless power." The tower was built to deal with the disaster."
"Is there no record of such a major event?" Ganon asked doubtfully.
A cataclysm swept the world, and its influence was so great that the gods who were once opposed to each other had to join hands to fight or even sacrifice themselves. At that time, belief in the gods was almost spread across every intelligent race on the continent except the true dragons. Such a major event actually happened. It is incredible that it has not been handed down in the history of these races.
"The relevant history has traces of being deliberately erased, and after so many years of changes, it is normal for few people to know about it." Orfield replied.
"Erase? Why do you want to deliberately erase it?" Ganon was puzzled.
"Didn't you say before that disasters are related to the faults of the gods?" Offfield said.
Ganon reacted suddenly.
A disaster caused by the conflict between gods - this is what Shitou told him before.
If the disaster was due to the fault of the gods, then believers would have a reason to erase this history.
"And whether it is the Endless Tower or the unknown force related to the catastrophe, it is very likely that it will be coveted by others. There is also an evil will in the world that looks forward to the destruction of the world. This matter can only remain a secret." Offfield added. added.
But in the end something happened to the Endless Tower. Ganon thought.
"What do you think about the steward of the Endless Tower?" Ganon asked.
"Mages above the extraordinary level can write rune commands to drive golems, but golems can only act according to established procedures or be controlled by the mage. The performance of the butler golem of the Endless Tower indeed exceeds that of the golem made by the mage. The limit is more like a high-level undead." Offfield replied.
"You mean there is a soul trapped in it?" Ganon confirmed to the other party.
"I can't be sure about this. After all, the Endless Tower is a creation of God. It's not surprising that it has functions beyond our knowledge. But since the archangel mentioned that the Endless Tower originally had no so-called steward, this matter is indeed worthwhile. Research it," Offfield said.
"When will you have time to come back here to study it carefully?" Ganon invited.
"I really want to go, but Liz has been strict lately..." Orfield replied.
Why does this statement sound so strange? Ganouen murmured in his heart.
"When I have time, I will ask someone to send the golem there. In addition, if you want to further study your tower, there may be someone else who can help you. She already started studying the Endless Land sixty years ago. Damn it," Offfield said.
"Sixty years ago?"
"Yes, when I was researching your tower and retrieving information from the Great Library of the Elements Federation, I discovered the mage's papers. She was already there sixty years ago. The paper mentioned the 'tower built by the gods', and in order to confirm the existence of that tower, he left the Federation of Elements and headed to the north." Offfield explained briefly.
Ganon was stunned after hearing this.
The place in the north that originally belonged to the Endless Tower, isn't that... the place occupied by Dragon Ascension's Lair?
