The Black Tower, the pitch-black tower, was the nickname originally given to this Tower of Babel by the sage society. The implication was probably that it hoped that it could be hidden from the sight of the gods and preserve the seeds of civilization.
Now, as the only city for revivalists, it is being gradually developed.
In a sense, the Forbidden Curse confrontation that day also did some good things. After razing the surrounding mountainous areas, it was also convenient for the revivalists to build new towns.
Once the ruins are cleared, a line is drawn on the plain area, a row of wooden houses is built in the core area, a city wall is encircled, and a group of residents are moved in, a new city will be built.
The first ten floors of the Black Tower have also been opened with auxiliary buildings. Hundreds of engineers from the Lan Alliance are about to arrive. In this simple town, they will digest the new knowledge system as quickly as possible and use it to
Improve the magic technology of the entire Lan Alliance.
There is technology, a market, and a labor force. Maybe, in the next few years, this place will become the new industrial technology base of Lanmeng.
Whether Lanmeng will become stronger as a result, for me, who is already semi-retired, it can only be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
The door that can open the lower plane has saved me a lot of things. At least, the adventure we are about to embark on will go much smoother.
"Have the number of people and the list been confirmed?"
"The invitations have been sent out. I don't know how many people will come. After all, it is too dangerous there... Even if the true god walks there, he may fall at any time."
Since you have already planned to go to the abyss, it is not a wise choice to travel there casually.
Considering my not-so-good reputation and my past experience of forming a group to defeat the Abyss Lord, if the news leaks out, it is possible that I will be defeated by the Abyss Lord as soon as I enter.
Although the disguise and intelligence control have been prepared, there is still the possibility of staged a thousand-mile escape as soon as you enter. Even if you are lucky and do not meet an "old acquaintance", in the strange land of the abyss, no one knows what they will do next.
No matter what you encounter, strength is the only pass.
Perhaps the Holy Order is great in the main plane, but it is not worth mentioning in the abyss where demons are swarming. So, I sent out some invitations and summoned some people.
"In the abyss, the law of the jungle is the only rule. Those with insufficient strength are not only unnecessary, but will also become a burden. The more strong, the better."
"Then why did you reject Amyra and Renee? Their strength should be enough."
"Come on, Heloise. You still don't know why I rejected them? Of course it's because..."
I was talking about business, but the dead cat suddenly transformed into a human form, with a shy look on his face, lowering his head and counting on his fingers.
"Even if you make a choice, even if I am the only winner, don't say it so directly, people will be embarrassed!"
"...Renee is a demon descendant. There will be a lot of trouble after entering. She is also the leader of the Lan Kingdom and cannot leave at all..."
Ignoring Heloise who was stuck in performance mode, it was the best choice to ignore her at this time. She has been getting more and more crazy recently.
Amyra and Renee did both want to come, but neither of them were suitable candidates.
"...Emira herself is the creator and mother of the Kodama clan. Corrupting her is equivalent to distorting the entire Kodama clan. If she enters the abyss, once she is discovered, the demon prince or something will come in person. That is not a helper, but
It’s trouble.”
Although the abyss has almost no limit on the upper limit of power, and it is not difficult for the true gods to descend, the gods of order will not use their true bodies to go to the abyss unless they want to commit suicide.
There was once a true god who was so stupid that he came to the abyss in his true form, and then...then a series of things happened, and he became the evil god of chaos. The abyss is such an evil place.
Corruption and depravity are not simply descriptions of character. Positive energy and negative energy are also pure attribute differences. Chaos can distort the wisdom and desire of any normal creature. In the abyss plane, distortion and chaos are the most common.
According to the rules, a God of Order can also be completely distorted.
"In the end, I am the only one who can accompany you to the abyss? A three-month trip to the abyss for your honeymoon, along half of the River Styx to see the scenery of purgatory and the demons outside the cage, and enjoy the passionate escape and killing. Your interest is really strange."
"Adam and Margaret are going too, what are you thinking?"
“Two couples traveling as a group?”
I'm speechless. Spring is indeed here. It's mating season for animals. Can this be said in human terms?
The dead cat pretended to be serious in the face of my hateful gaze, but the ancient scroll she was spreading out in her hand attracted my attention.
It was a map of various planes of the abyss, with countless marks on it. This was also her latest work.
The coordinates of this abyss are the 77th layer of the abyss. Like most abyss planes, it is ruled by a great demon whose name I have never heard of. Maybe his immediate boss is a "hypocrite", but since the control of the gate is in our hands
Yes, it's not a big problem to pass.
"After all, no one would have thought that a guy from the main plane would take the initiative to enter the abyss."——
In the endless darkness, two travelers were traveling through the night. The astonishing strong wind uprooted the stones on the roadside, but it could not blow up the gray cloaks of the two people, nor could it hinder their progress.
"Ha, you said that Roland actually asked us for help. Isn't it already hopeless?"
With fiery red hair and hearty laughter, he remained cheerful even in difficult situations. From the moment he received the letter, while mocking Roland for asking for help, Adam set off directly.
"...I'm more interested in where we go next. Are you sure we don't need to find anyone to ask for directions."
"Oh, my intuition tells me that it's not far away."
"Intuition? Close? Haha."
Margaret sneered twice, but in the background behind her was a group of seals and penguins running on the iceberg, and the two of them had been walking on the glacier for three days.
Blizzards, hail, polar storms, avalanches, and other human disasters are just highlights of their journey to these two demigods.
How did they get here? The sage didn't know... The two of them were wandering around the continent without any purpose. After receiving the letter, they just followed the idiot in front of them and ran wildly, from one mountain range to another.
A mountain range, following the guidance of intuition, I arrived here step by step in less than half a month.
Regardless of where Roland had originally agreed to gather, it wouldn't be here anyway. Looking around, there was nothing but icebergs, glaciers and various cold zone creatures.
"Tsk, it doesn't matter. Since he wrote to Adam instead of me, the matter is not urgent. So, just treat it as a trip."
I looked at the compass in my hand and saw that it was already north and couldn't go further north. Then I tested the longitude and latitude with a sextant and other instruments and confirmed that I was already in the extreme Bezore Islands in the North. This place was already further north than the North.
Backbone.
Someone's sense of direction has gone beyond the so-called polarity. This is someone who intended to fish at the bottom of the sea but ended up in space.
After calculating the coordinate position, the sage suddenly became interested despite knowing that it was too far away this time.
"... At this time of year, you should be able to see the aurora. It's rare for two people to watch the aurora and count the stars together. It's a rare romance... A little further north, since you're here, you can also do some experiments in extreme environments to collect them.
data."
The sage thought better of it and decided to walk north. It seemed that the pair would arrive later than Roland expected.
I'm afraid that by the time Adam fully admits that he needs guidance, polar bears and penguins will be the only ones around.
"Look, those big white guys are local residents, right? Haha, they are holding up ice cubes to welcome us? They are really warm. How about we stay at their place tonight?"
"...Those are the Yetis and Frost Trolls. They are very good at throwing ice spears and ice blocks. Have they surrounded us? It seems that they plan to treat us as dinner. Okay, I will stay with them tonight, I hope
There’s somewhere to take a hot bath.”
On the other side, in the Dragon City in the underground world, the letter sent by Roland has not yet reached its owner, because the owner of Dragon City is currently sleeping soundly.
As for when to wake up, considering the incredible sleep cycle of the Dragon Clan, it can only depend on luck.
On the other side, there was a companion who was not invited, but came excitedly, but Roland probably decided not to expect to see her.
In short, although the decision to gather companions was made, those who expected to come did not come, and those who did not expect had to wait. Roland had to wait for this group of unreliable guys to organize and set off. (To be continued.
