Central hall of the Tower of Sanctuary, in front of the statue of the Moon God.
Priest Elder Enge, who was sitting in a wheelchair, faced the statue, closed his eyes lightly, and murmured a prayer.
The hall was extremely silent, you could hear a needle drop, until the respectful voice of the garrison soldier came from outside the door:
"Sir Elder, Halfdan the Wind Hunter wishes to see you."
Elder Enge opened his eyes and said:
"Let him in."
The soldiers bowed and left, and the dusty Halfdan quickly entered the hall. He bowed respectfully to Elder Enge:
"Priest and Elder, I'm back."
Elder Enge turned the wheelchair and nodded slightly:
"Just come back, my child. May the protection of the moonlight be with you."
"Just like the status that we and the Apocalypse had before, different Apocalypse also have different statuses. If she is the descendant of those big shots, everything is easy to say, but if she is just a descendant of ordinary Apocalypse,
I’m afraid… it still won’t work.”
Facing the meaningful gaze of the elder priests, Halfdan's heart moved slightly, thoughtfully.
"Sir Elder, you said that the Apocalypse is a benevolent protector, but... can they really be like this forever?"
Halfdan quickly lowered his head and said:
"Sorry... Sir Elder, I was impulsive."
Halfdan shook his head:
After that, he comforted:
After listening to Elder Engel's words, Halfdan looked surprised:
"Praise the Moon Goddess! I am not wrong in saying that. Is she really the benefactor of Tianqi?"
Halfdan opened his mouth and nodded slowly.
Elder Enge glanced at him and said:
"If someone from the Apocalypse or a descendant of the Apocalypse accepts your child as a follower, they will naturally not need to go to the tower to serve the gods, they will only need to follow the sect leader."
"I don't want them to lose their freedom, let alone face those Apocalypse who have god-like power!"
"No, I don't expect them to become the chosen ones. It is said that the chosen ones are the highest honor for us mortals, but once they are chosen, they will never be able to leave the tower again and will serve the gods all their lives.
With Tianqi..."
"Halfdan, you don't have to worry too much. It's not a bad thing to send them to the central tower. The tower is omnipotent, and the infection may also turn into a blessing..."
Halfdan was still a little unwilling.
Elder Enge's expression changed slightly and he scolded:
"Halfdan! Watch your words! This is the sacred tower of refuge!"
"Once they go to the high tower, they will not only be able to get rid of the curse, but they are also more likely to become a noble chosen person and receive the gift of union with the benefactor of the apocalypse or even the apocalypse!"
"Sir Elder, what is the solution?"
"Even if she is really the descendant of the Apocalypse who was lost in the Central Tower, we are not sure which ethnic group among the Apocalypse she is and which adult she is a descendant of."
"Halfdan! Don't be rude to the Apocalypse in front of the Moon God!"
"Yes, they do not have the power of wild beasts, but I think you should be able to see their weakness. We are mortals, and mortals... cannot bear the power that they should not bear."
"Halfdan, please think about it carefully. Even if you lose your freedom, you can live a more privileged and safer life than our tribe by serving the gods in the central tower."
Recalling the elegance that was completely different from the wildness in Charlotte's every move, Halfdan insisted.
Elder Engel sighed:
"This can only be determined after the messenger from the tower arrives. As for Lily and Hal, I think...even if this benefactor of the Apocalypse is really of noble birth, the tower will not let them wander outside."
"There is no absolute freedom in the world. Everyone just lives with different shackles... Halfdan, I'm a little tired. You should go back and think about it."
After that, he turned around and left the hall.
Watching Halfdan's figure disappear from sight, Elder Engel put away his anger and showed a complicated expression.
Elder Enge sighed slightly and issued an order to expel the guests.
"Then...then there is no need to adjust the worship level of our Beishan tribe? Lily and Hal don't need to be taken away either?"
"I have never doubted this matter, and I have always respected the Apocalypse. In my mind, they have always represented the most noble and noble existence in the world."
Elder Enge smiled slightly and nodded:
"Why? Lily and Hal are just two simple children! They do not have the power of wild beasts, nor the threat of wild beasts! You know all this! Everyone in the tribe also knows it!"
"Halfdan, go back and think about it."
Elder Enge sighed and shook his head gently:
This time, Elder Enge was silent.
"Halfdan, you have outstanding talent, and you are the first candidate to be the next Attendant of the Tower of Asylum. I will not hide some things from you..."
"It's just that, even if I don't mention my children, our tribe has raised the offering standards three times in a row in the past three years. This has exceeded the capabilities of many of our tribesmen..."
"You did a good job on this hunting trip. Although you didn't bring back much prey, the significance of a benefactor of the Apocalypse is greater than a sacrifice. The Central Tower attaches great importance to every benefactor of the Apocalypse. Your
Merit will definitely be rewarded by the tower."
"Is...is there no other way?"
"Lily is a free-spirited child who hates being restrained, while Hal is an introverted child who will only suffer in silence when he encounters grievances..."
"No, I believe she must be the descendant of those big shots! I have also seen the messengers from the towers. Even the most noble messengers do not have her unique temperament. Her bloodline must be very noble! That's right!
That must be it!”
"Not to mention, without the power of the tower, how long can your child survive the erosion of the old gods?"
Elder Engel sighed:
"But they are the candidates designated by the tower. The tower is omnipotent and omniscient. Since the tower believes that they have been infected by the power of the old gods, then they must have been infected by the power of the old gods. The tower has never
Infected people are not allowed to wander outside the control of the tower..."
Elder Enge pondered for a moment and said:
"Actually, if you really don't want your child to leave, there is another way..."
"Sir Elder?"
He bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
Halfdan called urgently.
Elder Enge's expression changed slightly and he quickly reprimanded.
"I have no idea."
He turned around, hesitated, and said:
"Sir Elder, the Apocalypse saved the world from the evil disaster and is our savior."
Halfdan suddenly became excited.
However, just before leaving the hall, Halfdan stopped again.
Halfdan suddenly became even more excited:
"But... you have to understand that becoming a follower of Tianqi Ensi is equivalent to losing your freedom in a sense."
"With such an outstanding appearance, and an extraordinary aura that even makes me feel the pressure, plus being able to enter the range of the Tower of Sanctuary without incident...she must really be the lost descendant of Apocalypse in the Kingdom of Towers.
"
Halfdan still looked unconvinced. Elder Enge sighed softly and said helplessly:
He let out a long sigh and said to himself:
"Mercy? Even if they are no longer merciful, so what?"
"After all... we are the ones who need to rely on the protection of the strong to survive..."
"This is a chaotic world where even the gods will fall. We mortals without power are just ants lingering on."
