Chapter 513: Trapeze

This is the first time Victor has directly come into contact with Blood Rose personnel.

They wore shoulder-less light brown robes, and all wore garlands on their heads, and the towering spire was standing behind the believers.

The tower was built on the seaside, and the surrounding area is relatively empty. It is quite far away from the city and the port. I don’t know what was considered when choosing the site. It seems that it was deliberately avoiding the downtown area.

As if they knew Victor would come, several believers were already waiting at the bottom of the tower to welcome him.

Victor came in a carriage, got out of the carriage lightly, and walked directly towards them.

"Are you a gentleman from the Anti-Suppression Department?" a believer at the front asked him.

Victor nodded, looked at the other people, and then said, "William Marshall arranged for me to come here. How can I help?"

Victor's answer showed that he did not know the purpose of coming here.

Several Blood Rose believers looked at each other, and then the leader spoke, pointing at Victor's wrist and saying: "Where is your luggage?"

"What luggage?" Victor was slightly stunned.

The believer shook his head: "Forget it, please come with me, Minister William has explained everything."

So, Victor followed the group of believers into the tower and climbed up the stairs.

I have to say that this tower is really high. Without an elevator, it is very laborious to climb up along the winding stairs on the wall.

They had to rest for a few minutes every time they climbed a certain distance. Victor looked up curiously and saw the skylight shining down. The hollow patio gave the interior excellent lighting.

As for the Flower Tower, Victor's understanding of it was limited to its use for oceangoing information transmission.

No one invented radio in this era. Generally, telegraphs had to go over land lines. For the Western Continent on the other side of the sea, the exchange of information was very difficult.

Therefore, Blood Rose set up a prosperous tower, and through the special method of their church, the signal could be transmitted overseas.

The fees for Flower Tower are quite high, which brings a lot of financial income to Blood Rose.

You know, cross-continental communication is very frequent, and all information has to be transmitted through the Flower Tower.

This is also the reason why the Greybean Empire allows Blood Rose to exist within its territory.

You must know that the Greybean Empire is the country that is most repulsive to pagans besides the Northern Holy See.

As a result, both sides across the sea erected many flower towers in coastal areas. Except for those who actively refused by the Northern Holy See, all citizens could pay to use them.

Even, as the pilot ships of the ocean-going trade fleet, they also use Blood Rose's technology, which is one of the reasons why they dare to cross the Silent Sea.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Flower Tower that the need for radio has become less urgent, and there are no scientists to study that thing.

The group finally reached the top of the tower, and Victor found a diamond-shaped object hanging in the air at the top. He could not tell what material it was made of, nor what its purpose was.

"Okay!" The cultist stopped and asked Victor to come to him.

Victor's face was confused until the other party put his hand on his chest, and the diamond-shaped object slowly lowered and came within reach.

"Are you ready, Inspector?" the believer asked Victor solemnly.

Victor was still confused: "What are you ready for?"

The other party frowned: "Aren't you going to Sanfran?"

Victor snorted: "Yes, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the believer put his other hand on the diamond-shaped object.

"I wish you a pleasant journey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Victor felt that his body became light and airy, his feet lifted off the ground, and then he flew out in an instant!

He only realized when his face was brushed by the strong wind in the sky. It turned out that he was experiencing the power of the messenger!

Grass~~!!!

This caught him off guard, and he soon rushed up into the clouds. His eyes were squeezed by the strong wind and he couldn't even open them.

That believer is also a messenger!?

Victor kept having doubts as his face was deformed, but immediately, he remembered the rhombus-shaped object.

It turns out that this is the essence of the Prosperity Tower. The reason why the towers can transmit messages is because they are relics created by relying on the ability of the messenger!

Yes, it must be an awakening-level relic, made from blood roses. Its ability is similar to that of a messenger. I don’t know if it was activated by sealing the messenger’s secret message into the tower that was originally a relic.

But if that's the case, how many secret transmissions would it cost to have so many flower towers?

The answer is definitely not that simple. Maybe all the flower towers are empowered by a secret message from a messenger, but I don't know how Blood Rose did it.

With thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, Victor drove all the way until he reached Sanfran's Flower Tower...

He didn't pronounce anyone's name before leaping, but he still reached the finish line.

There is no one to respond to the end point, as if the prosperous towers can be adjusted through some mechanism to correspond to the starting point and the end point one by one.

He fell to the bottom of the patio and landed on a soft cushion, which seemed to have been prepared for those who leapt from the beginning.

Although Victor was caught by the cushion, he was still dizzy from the fall. He saw several double images of the Blood Rose believers approaching him.

"You must be the gentleman from the Anti-Suppression Department! Your Minister William has already paid for the transportation."

Victor communicated with the believer No. 2 in a daze, stood up and saw the bill he was holding.

"The price of transporting humans is relatively expensive and not something ordinary people can afford, but the Defense and Suppression Department is our partner, so we gave it half the price."

After listening to the other party's story, Victor discovered that 300 faraka was written on the bill...

Good guy, half price is equivalent to more than three months of Victor's income. His salary is already very high, and ordinary people simply can't afford such a gift service.

He didn't know how long he had been floating, but Victor walked out of the flower tower and looked at the city at the end of the road.

William didn't give him any information before asking him to set off. Now he didn't even know where to start. He could only go to Sanfran's branch first and find Tony Carlos before discussing.



Just half an hour before Victor arrived at Sanfren, at the opposite corner of the city, a train from afar slowly entered the platform of Sanfren.

The whistle blew and the whistle was crisp, and passengers from the south got out of the carriage one after another.

In the sixteenth car, there was a stout middle-aged man sitting. He put down the newspaper in his hand, threw away the half-smoked cigar, took off the soft felt hat from the shelf above his head, and then put it on.

Wearing a pair of sunglasses and a cane, he stood up from his seat and left the carriage slowly.

He was the last passenger to get off the bus, and the area around the platform seemed less crowded.

A child came to sell handmade maltose to him, but was frightened away by the fat on the man's face and his serious expression.

The man ignored all the passers-by around him and sat on the bench beside the platform to wait.

He remained motionless. After the train in front of him left, the next one came, and more passengers crowded on the platform, but the man ignored the crowds of people walking back and forth.

Until two equally mysterious people approached him, and when they arrived in front of the man, they took off their hats and saluted him.

"You are finally here, Your Excellency Arushi..."
