"I don't know." Gavin spread his hands helplessly and said, "I haven't seen my mother since I was a child, and I don't know her origins. I used to think she was dead, but now I'm not even sure about this. I can't be sure whether she is related to the mystery.
Snowel is related, I only know that she had been in and out of Mir Forest before giving birth to me."
As for Gavin's age, it cannot be used as a reason at all.
Because a century is several generations for short-lived races, but for elves, it is only one-sixth of life.
It’s possible that Gavin’s mother was an aboriginal from Misnoel.
Could it be that his mother's identity is unusual and that she belongs to the royal family of Mis Noel?
In fact, Gavin is quite shy about his mother's affairs now and is unwilling to investigate further. Who knows what kind of big thunder is buried behind it?
But the problem is, things like fate are sometimes so mysterious that they will push you forward without even realizing it.
The Goliaths had no intention of delving into Gavin's non-answer.
Especially Carissa said with an understanding look: "Since we have no clue in this aspect, let's not dwell on this issue anymore. Anyway, this issue is not important to us at the moment. What is important is what should we do.
I personally think that we should try it. If it is a trap, it does not need to be so complicated. As long as the door is tightly closed, a thunderbolt, or a dissociation and instant death spell is enough. I believe these will not be any difficult for this crystal tower."
"That makes sense." Gavin nodded in agreement.
This giant crystal tower must have capabilities similar to those of a mage tower. If it can completely keep the enemy out, why would it take so much time and effort to introduce it?
Especially the Festering Mystery Lock, which blocks prying eyes from the door.
If they didn't have the roots of the gods, they wouldn't be able to get in at all.
Well, that's not right either.
Will the identity of this successor be effective not only for the Crystal Tower, but also for the Festering Mystery Lock?
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to verify this issue.
Otherwise, some things will be easier to infer.
"That's why you smart people are struggling here. If you ask me, there are so many good things to think about. Just go in and see what the reaction is. If you are worried, I will go in first." Eglas nicknamed himself Zhong.
The fearless side is displayed vividly.
He took big steps and walked into the crystal tower.
But judging from the tight muscles all over his body, he was not defenseless. As long as there was anything wrong with the crystal tower, he would jump out of it immediately.
The giant crystal tower showed no reaction, neither rejection nor new changes. Only the elf female voice repeated the previous words over and over again.
"Hahaha..." Chief Qunshan laughed excitedly as if he had completed a great challenge, "Look, it's okay, you all can come in."
"He is indeed the boldest man in our mountain tribe. He deserves the title of fearless."
"Chief, you have completed another challenge that we dare not challenge."
"I think the stubborn stone can be completely removed. From now on, we can just call the chief the fearless, or the fearless one."
"I think it's okay."
"I think it's appropriate too."
Many Goliaths responded to the call of Chief Fearless Stone and walked into the crystal tower one after another. At the same time, they praised his behavior just now, which made Fearless Stone's blue-grey face have a trace of blush, and his smooth head was full of tears.
sparkling.
As a relatively cautious person, Gavin was somewhat dumbfounded. Could this kind of thing also serve as a challenge?
No wonder Goliath's average lifespan is so low. It is probably inseparable from their death-seeking, nay, adventurous lifestyle.
As if she could understand Gavin's feelings, Carissa smiled at him and said: "Don't be surprised, this is our way of survival. Only by having the courage to face challenges can we survive in the complicated life in the mountains."
"Have you ever considered living under the mountains? There is a large area of fertile soil there. Even in the Mir Forest, it is easier to survive than in the mountains." Gavin couldn't help but ask.
"Is Goliath still Goliath after leaving the mountains?" Kelissa asked.
"This..." Facing this rather philosophical question, Gavin was speechless.
"Don't think that what I'm talking about is purely psychological problems, there are also physical ones." Carissa said with a serious expression, "Goliaths who have been away from the mountains for a long time are prone to illness. There is no medicine that can cure trough disease.
Return to live in the mountains and accept the purification of the mountains. Otherwise, over time, they will degenerate and lose the abilities given to them by the mountains. The children they give birth to will no longer be blessed by the mountains. After three generations, they will only be tall humans.
In the end, there will be no tall people at all, and we will be completely integrated into the human race, because we Goliaths are humans who have the courage to climb the peaks and have received the blessings of the mountains."
"That's it." Gavin suddenly realized, "Your explanation has solved my biggest doubt. No wonder it is rare to see a large number of Goliaths in other places except high mountains."
Carissa's explanation may sound a little unbelievable at first, but after careful consideration, it turns out to be the most reasonable.
In earth terms, the genetic chains of most races in the multiverse are unstable.
This instability makes their racial segregation relatively light, with all kinds of regular, unconventional, and even bizarre mixed-race people everywhere.
At the same time, it also makes them susceptible to the influence of the external environment and powerful creatures, resulting in mutations.
This mutation is not simply malignant, but also benign, allowing them to gain greater strength. It also gives them super adaptability to adapt to various extreme environments and survive.
Goliaths are all light.
There are also fire dwarves who live on the edge of magma, on the fire elemental plane, and their ancestors are also dwarves.
Sea elves who live in oceans and lakes are elves who were forced to move into the ocean.
There are countless cases like this in Ferundo.
In fact, the above examples are all far away.
There was such a situation around Gavin, and he was responsible for it - the kobolds of the Dragon Oak Territory.
The mutation of genetic bloodline can be mild or severe, with humans being relatively mild and kobolds being more severe, especially when affected by dragons.
Not only are the kobolds born in the dragon oak mother tree becoming more refined, but even those who have lived there for a long time are beginning to show similar symptoms.
But once these types of creatures leave the environment that makes them unique, it won't take long for them to turn into ordinary creatures again.
"Are you two still worried? Come in quickly, we are of no use, there is no response here at all." Chief Eglas greeted.
"In order to determine who the problem is, we might as well take turns." Gavin suggested.
"Good idea." Carissa did not refuse.
"Ma'am please first."
"There is no need to be polite about this kind of thing, so I won't be polite." Carissa walked in happily with her long legs. After walking around the crystal hall, she walked out while shaking her head and said, "I
Just said, it's not me..."
"Don't worry, touch the crystal pillar in the middle, that's where there is the most likely problem." Gavin suggested outside the door.
"Okay." Carissa didn't doubt that he was there, so she walked forward and reached out to touch him, but there was no reaction at all.
Gavin took a long breath. It seems that the problem really lies with him. Is it a blessing or a curse? It is a curse that cannot be avoided. He wants to see if he still has something terrible that he could not discover in his previous life.
life experience.
When Gavin took the first step into the crystal tower, this question had a definite answer.
Because the words of the elf female voice that kept repeating changed and became "Please go to the control room of the Tower of Domination and obtain all permissions."
At the same time, the crystal pillar in the center of the crystal hall shimmered, the situation was self-evident, and it seemed to be calling Gavin to come up and touch him.
"Hahaha... There is nothing to worry about now. The problem lies with the sir. It seems that the identity of the sir's mother is unusual. She is probably the royal family of Mis Noel. We will be lucky enough to witness Mis Noel today.
of restart.”
"Sir, please, only you can do this."
All the Goliaths turned slightly and all their eyes fell on Gavin.
Wherever he passed, Goliath couldn't help but make way for him.
Under this situation, Gavin couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism. No longer timid, he quickly walked to the crystal pillar and stretched out his hand to press it.
Whoosh!
Another door opened in response, but this door was not made of solid crystal. It seemed that a hole was opened directly in it, and the part of the crystal that belonged to the door disappeared.
The crystal column is also hollow and small in area, just like a large elevator.
Under the gaze of a group of Goliaths, Gavin couldn't hesitate and walked in bravely.
Suddenly there was a burst of cheers from behind, and you didn't need to listen carefully to know that those Goliaths were praising his bravery.
The moment Gavin completely stepped into the crystal pillar, the disappeared crystal door appeared again, isolating him from the Goliath outside.
He could see Goliath outside. Chief Eglas and Carissa rushed up immediately, seemingly wanting to reopen the door, but there was no response.
The former even swung his large battle ax and struck the crystal pillar with the ax head.
As a result, the crystal pillar suddenly lit up with a luster full of magic runes. There was not even a single scratch on the crystal pillar. On the contrary, his large battle ax was so shaken that he almost lost his grip.
Just as Gavin expected, this unique building is enchanted and is not as fragile as it seems.
Chief Eglas still wanted to attack, but was stopped by Carissa.
Gavin didn't know what happened next.
Because the entire inner wall of the crystal column lit up with countless runes, when Gavin came to his senses again, he had already appeared in another room.
Teleportation circle.
There is a teleportation circle inside the crystal pillar.
Just a glance.
Gavin was 100% sure that he was now at the top of the crystal tower, in the room that looked like a crystal ball.
This room is ten meters in diameter. Except for a platform with about one person in the middle, and gems placed there, it is also empty.
Just like other parts of the Crystal Tower, it is transparent when looking out from the inside. The scenery is extremely unique. You can see the clear sky from above, and you can look down at the mist-like low clouds surrounding the Crystal Tower. Looking down, you can see
A full view of Miss Noel.
The only unsightly thing is that this beautiful elven city has been stained, with most things in a black and gray state.
After looking around, Gavin's eyes finally locked on the gem. To be more precise, it should be half a gem.
The gemstone is in the shape of a drop of water. It is at least as big as a baby's fist in its complete state, but now it is neatly divided into two halves from the middle.
It is not placed on the crystal platform, but is suspended above it, rotating slowly, with light flowing everywhere. At a glance, you can tell that it is not as simple as an ordinary gem, but a powerful magic item.
In front of it, there is a feeling of nothing to hide.
Gavin only took one step toward half a gem.
The intact side of the gem suddenly turned towards Gavin, a ray of light shot out, and a female elf phantom appeared in front of Gavin.
Even among elves, this elf phantom's appearance is outstanding, but the most unique thing about her is her elegant and noble intellectual aura.
Gavin was sure that he had never seen this person before, but he saw familiar shadows on her body, especially the eyebrows and face shape, as if he had seen her somewhere.
