Chapter 182 Hysteresis
Let’s make an assumption first——
Roland guessed that Anvilia should still be inside the White Tower.
Roland took a deep look at Scott and bit his lip gently.
It was not unreasonable for him to make this judgment.
After the Starcaller went to the star realm through the 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 under the premise that she has an older brother studying in the White Tower.
Not to mention the wizard outside the White Tower, Shantian Ruosi got the same answer.
As the chief and the Star Caller's direct disciple, he needed a special opportunity to enter the fifth tower to sort out - or clean up.
In the eyes of most 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 are more urban legends about the Fifth Tower.
Not to mention the gods - Roland estimated that the senior officials 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 a defense.
As the only backup storage location for all the information in the White Tower, the Fifth Tower can fulfill its mission as long as it exists.
Not only will it not organize a defense, but it will also occupy the White Tower's energy storage and banish the Fifth Tower to other dimensions, and will only return after everything calms down completely.
In this case, the interior of the White Tower can be said to be undefended.
If the gods saw through the White Tower's empty city plan, or simply thought too little and did not launch an attack from the outside, and directly sent priests into the White Tower to destroy it, there is a considerable chance that the White Tower would be blown into ruins.
There is no need to do anything else - as long as the energy supply of the second tower is cut off, or a certain degree of damage is caused to the second tower, the ceremony will be directly interrupted.
First of all, the Star Caller will probably not come back alive - at the same time, the second tower will also explode, causing terrible damage.
The power is certainly not enough to destroy the world, but it is no problem at all to reduce the entire White Tower to rubble.
With Anvilia's relationship with the Star Caller, it was impossible for her to get his divination during this trip.
Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but sneer.
From Merlin's reaction, Roland guessed that the Star Caller must have performed divination in this regard. He also told several other tower owners that the White Tower was bound to collapse.
Under this situation, Anvilia couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
The owners of the third and fourth towers cannot be contacted now, and Merlin has to protect the fifth tower. After the Star Caller enters the star realm, once Anvilia leaves the White Tower, looking at the White Tower is really...
It became an empty shell.
Even if there is something that Anvilia needs to go out to solve in person, Anvillia must first appear at the White Tower and prove to the enemies that she is here before she can go out with confidence.
Moreover, the timing of her appearance must be carefully grasped.
The gods are not stupid either. If it is just a simple test that requires Anvilia to take action in person, then either Anvillia has a guilty conscience. Or the defense of the White Tower is so fragile that it is like nothing.
No matter which result it is, it is not what Anvilia wants to see.
Now that Scott is left here, Anvilia has only two options left.
Bet that the gods would not launch a general attack in a short period of time, leaving Scott to defend and finish what she wanted to do as quickly as possible.
——Or, just hide in the White Tower first, wait for the enemy to be sure that she has left the White Tower, and then come out to slap her in the face, which will make the enemy even more afraid to move.
Based on Roland's knowledge of Anvilia, she will most likely choose the option below.
Roland narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it was the first case, then there would be no problem for Roland to go see Merlin on this trip.
However, if it is the second case, Roland might as well go to Anvilia directly.
It would be easier for Merlin Roland, who didn't know much about the saint, to communicate with Anvillia, who had some connections with the Everlasting Mentor.
And if Roland wanted to see Anvilia, it would actually be quite easy——
Roland suddenly asked: "Sir Scott, what does Master Merlin want from us?"
However, Scott not only failed to answer Roland's question, but stopped in his tracks.
"How do you know my name?"
Although the tone was questioning, in Scott's mouth it was so calm that he seemed to be repeating some kind of truth: "I don't remember introducing myself."
"The princess's devil dog is famous."
As if being infected by Scott, Roland's words became calmer.
After hearing Roland's reply, Scott pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "...is it true?"
Then he turned around.
At that moment, Roland felt a heavy pressure.
It was as if what he was facing at this moment was not a slender human being, but a beast wearing human skin——
When he saw Scott's ice-blue eyes, Roland suddenly felt that the world around him was distorted.
First it blurs, then spins, and finally melts completely into a dizzying gray distorted landscape.
The erratic ticking of the second hand sounded in Roland's ears.
Only the "person" Scott could remain the same in Roland's eyes - everything else was elongated and the colors became strange and distorted.
Even though he was prepared, an inexplicable fear still gripped Roland's heart.
It was not a low-end and boring thing like intimidation, nor was it a false illusion.
It's life's instinctive fear of death.
——No, strictly speaking, it should be an irresistible force that exists bound by the long river of time.
That's an experience you can't get in a game anyway.
It's not in the form of a debuff, but a real fear.
Mixed with nausea, vomiting and a feeling of weakness.
Is this...the power of "hysteresis"?
Roland's pupils trembled slightly.
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
This is the origin of Scott - hysteresis.
With the bonus of Origin, one second of the outside world will be extended ten times in Scott's mind.
This makes any fast objects in Scott's eyes seem extremely slow. It also makes Scott better at thinking quietly than others.
But as we all know, once the origin reaches the level of the highest spire, it is uncontrollable.
Scott's days are ten times longer than the others.
This is actually a curse.
Every word spoken by others would be distorted in Scott's ears after being roughly stretched. No matter how pleasant the sound was before, it would become real noise.
Scott's understanding of music only existed before he broke free from the road of awakening.
For more than 800 years after that, Scott lived in such a lonely world full of noises and distorted images.
If it weren't for Anvilia, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy.
This is why Roland always uses short sentences without any courtesy when talking to him.
This is the way to talk that makes Scott feel most at ease.
"I am the chosen one of the Sleeping Master."
