Blood of Mercury

Make an assumption first -

Roland guessed that Anvilia should still be inside the White Tower now.

Roland took a deep look at Scott and bit his lip lightly.

It is not unreasonable for him to make this judgment.

After the Star Caller went to the astral world through a ritual, the White Tower was simply defenseless in the eyes of the gods.

Not to mention the priests, most of the wizards don't know who the tower owner of the fifth tower of the White Tower is.

Roland had asked Claudia this question before, and the answer she gave was that she didn't know.

This is the result obtained on the premise that she has an older brother studying in the Baita.

Leaving aside the wizards outside the White Pagoda, Dantian Ruosi got the same answer.

As the chief and the direct disciple of the Starcaller, he also needed a special opportunity to enter the fifth tower for tidying up - or cleaning.

In the eyes of most of the white tower wizard apprentices, the existence of the fifth tower of the white tower is really low.

Compared with some common sense about the fifth tower, there will be more urban legends about the fifth tower.

Not to mention the gods - Roland estimated that the upper levels of the White Tower subconsciously ignored the defensive capabilities of the Fifth Tower.

And Roland knew in his heart that if the gods really invaded, the fifth tower would indeed not organize defenses.

As the only backup storage place for all the data of the White Tower, the fifth tower can complete its mission as long as it exists.

Not only will it not organize defenses, but it will also occupy the energy storage of the White Tower and exile the fifth tower to other planes, and will return after everything has completely subsided.

In this case, the interior of the White Tower can be said to be undefended.

In case the gods see through the empty city plan of the White Tower, or simply think too little to launch an attack from the outside, and send a priest directly into the White Tower to destroy it, there is a considerable chance that the White Tower will be directly blown into ruins.

No need to do anything else - just cut off the energy supply to the second tower, or cause some damage to the second tower, and the ritual will be interrupted directly.

First of all, 80% of the Starcallers will not come back alive - at the same time, cause terrible damage.

That power is definitely not enough to destroy the world, but there is no problem in turning the entire White Pagoda into ruins.

With the relationship between Anvilia and Starcaller, it is impossible for her to get his divination on this trip.

thought here. Roland couldn't help sneering.

From Merlin's reaction, Roland guessed that the Star Caller must have performed divination in this regard, and told several other tower owners that the White Tower would collapse.

In this case, Anvilia couldn't leave if she wanted to.

The tower owners of the third and fourth towers are now unreachable. Merlin had to guard the fifth tower again and couldn't shoot. After Starcaller entered the astral world, once Anvilia left the White Tower, looking at the White Tower really turned into an empty shell.

Even if there is really something that must be resolved by letting Anveria go out in person, Anveria must first appear on the White Tower side once to prove to the enemies that she is here before she can go out with confidence.

and. The timing of her appearance must be well grasped.

The gods are not stupid. If it's just a simple test that can only be solved by letting Anveria personally take action, then either Anveria has a guilty conscience, or the defense of the White Tower is really fragile to the point of nothingness.

Either result is not what Anvillia wants to see.

Now that Scott was left here, Anvilia was left with only two options.

Gamble that the gods won't launch a total attack in a short period of time, leaving Scott to defend and finish what she has to do as quickly as possible.

——Or, just hide in the White Tower first. Waiting for the enemy to confirm that she has left the White Tower before coming out to slap the face, the truth is that the enemy is even more afraid to move.

Based on Roland's knowledge of Anvilia, she is likely to choose the following option.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly.

If it was the first case, then it would be no problem for Roland to meet Merlin on this trip.

but. In the second case, Roland might as well go to see Anvilia directly.

Compared with Merlin, who didn't know the saint, it would be easier for Roland to communicate with Anvilia, who had some connections with the long-sleeping mentor.

And if Roland wants to see Anvilia, it's actually quite easy-

Roland suddenly asked, "Lord Scott, what does Master Merlin want from us?"

However, instead of answering Roland's question, Scott stopped.

"How did you know my name?"

It was a questioning tone, but in Scott's mouth it was so flat that he seemed to be repeating some truth: "I don't remember I introduced myself."

"Princess's devil dog, famous."

As if infected by Scott, Roland's words also calmed down.

Hear Roland's reply. Scott pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "... Really?"

Then he turned around.

At that moment, Roland felt a heavy pressure.

As if he was not facing a slender human at the moment, but a beast in human skin——

When I saw Scott's ice blue eyes. Roland suddenly felt the world around him distorted.

First blurred, then rotated, and finally completely melted into a vertiginous gray twisted landscape.

The chaotic second hand ticking sounded in Roland's ear.

Only the "person" Scott could remain the same in Roland's eyes—everything else was stretched, and the colors became strange and distorted.

Even if he was prepared, an inexplicable fear still grabbed Roland's heart.

That's not the low-end, boring stuff of intimidation. Nor is it a false illusion.

It is life's instinctive fear of death.

——No, strictly speaking, it should be an irresistible force that is bound by time.

That's an experience you can't get in the game anyway.

Not in the form of DEBUFF, but real fear.

Mixed with nausea, vomiting, and weakness.

Is this the power of... "hysteresis"?

Roland's pupils trembled slightly.

He couldn't help clenching his fists.

This is where Scott came from - hysteresis.

With the addition of Origin, one second in the outside world will be ten times longer in Scott's mind.

This made anything swift in Scott's eyes sluggish. It also allowed Scott to be better at quiet thinking than anyone else.

But as we all know, if the origin is less than the level of the highest spire, it is uncontrollable.

Scott's day is ten times longer than everyone else ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which is actually a curse too.

Every word the others said would be distorted in Scott's ears after being roughly elongated. No matter how pleasant the sound was before, it becomes a real noise.

Scott's understanding of music was only before he broke free from the path of awakening.

For more than 800 years after that, Scott lived in such a lonely world full of all kinds of noises and all kinds of distorted pictures.

If it weren't for Anvilia, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy.

That's why Roland spoke to him in short, unpolite sentences.

This is the way Scott feels the most at ease.

"I am the voter of the long-sleeping mentor."

Without being hypocritical, Roland said straight to the point. (To be continued.)
