There is a highland in the north of White City. It is separated from all urban areas and is tightly protected by an additional city wall. Talos's most elite guards and the most powerful group of mages have sworn their lives and have been stationed around this highland for generations.
The permanent forbidden air force field has been operating over the highlands for three centuries. Neither a giant dragon nor a small bird can fly over the highlands. On the ground, there is only one avenue extending from the Royal District that can lead to the highlands.
The entrance is so tightly guarded just to protect one thing, which is the foundation of any country of order, the Tower of Sunburn.
This tall tower stands proudly on the platform. Its scale is larger than any other building in the White City. The top of the Golden Rose Palace is only half the height of the Sunburn Tower. The white tower is enchanted with the purest enchantment.
The moonstone is piled up, and its surface is engraved with ancient runes that can only be fully interpreted by scholars from the sanctuary. Blue and gold crystals are inlaid on the outer wall of the tower according to certain rules, forming a powerful energy field that makes the entire highland surroundings
The land is soaked in magic, and at the top of this streamlined white tower, three huge white crystals are constantly rotating around the "Sun Flame Crystal" at the top of the tower, bringing the powerful power of order from inside the tower day and night.
Spread to the sky.
Unlike other holy objects of order, the Tower of Sunburn does not emit such a strong and obvious beam of light. In fact, except for a circle of faint light, this sacred and powerful tower does not emit any additional light at all:
The Tower of Sunburn is not used to light up the order barrier. Its main function is to serve as the energy redistribution center and divine power hub for all order towers in the kingdom (including the Hearthfire and Fire Towers). In a national-level
Within the order barrier, all the towers are connected in some mysterious way, and their power forms a sea of energy in another dimension invisible to humans, and the true form of the Sunburn Tower is hidden in
In this sea of energy, it shines brightly and controls all the forces of order.
The above is the knowledge constructed by scholars in the world of Koro through various calculation models. In fact, in human eyes, the connection between the Sunburn Tower and other towers is completely invisible.
But Hao Ren could see it.
He followed Rudolf III, the princess, and the princes to the Tower of the Sun. When he looked up, he saw countless rays of light silver extending from the top of the tower. These rays of light criss-crossed the sky, intertwining into a large
The net almost covers the entire sky above the highlands, and these lights will gradually fade away from the Sunburn Tower and disappear at the end of the line of sight.
Rudolf III came to the gate of the Sunburn Tower. The old king put his hand on the door made of mithril and whispered the oath left by the ancestors of Kolo and the goddess of creation. Then there was a burst of
With a rumble, the door gradually slid open to both sides.
Inside is a space filled with light.
The beams of light crisscross in the huge space, refracted out of thin air or bent along the invisible medium, forming complex and changeable mysterious three-dimensional patterns, while a piece of pure white crystal is suspended in the center of all the light, and the crystal is constantly refracted during its rotation.
Various bizarre pictures, under the crystal, is a pool with a radius of about two meters. The pool is filled with crystal clear liquid that looks like condensed light.
Hao Ren looked carefully and found that there was actually a layer of something suspended above the liquid. After looking at it for a long time, he realized that it was an extremely thin and translucent silver-white flame that was almost invisible.
The flame burned quietly above the liquid, as if ready to go out at any moment.
"This is the Holy Fire of Order in the Tower of Sunburn," Rudolf III came to the pool and quietly looked at the phantom-like silver-white flames. "For the past seven years, my blood has continued to burn here, and its most vigorous
At that time, almost the entire holy white crystal could be wrapped in it, but now..."
Hao Ren thought for a while and decided to express his opinion in a more tactful way: "I think it should be destroyed at the first sight."
"Veronica will light these flames, and the inheritance of the Kingdom of Talos will continue," Rudolf III said, looking at his only descendant who still has the power of the Watcher, "Veronica, light this flame
At the moment, you will take over my scepter, and you will become the new ruler of Talos. As a queen, you should use your power carefully and never be as reckless and willful as before."
Veronica was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that the knight princess had never thought about it so much before: "Ah? Father, you didn't say anything before..."
"You should know what it means to light the holy flame," the king waved his hand, "I brought you here not for fun, but to let you see the next destiny of the kingdom. Veronica, darkness has fallen, this time
The Kingdom of Order on this continent, or even all continents, will be extinguished in the long night. Talos is very likely to become the last beacon in the long night. This is a difficult era, but we have no choice. Maybe our kingdom will eventually be
One day will be extinguished, but you, as the guardian of the kingdom, will at least let them spend the last century in peace."
Veronica moved her lips, and the strong knight princess also rarely flinched: "Father, I... don't think I can be a king well. In terms of ability, Aniya is actually much smarter than me. I can only
On the battlefield, I'm very stupid at other times."
Rudolf III looked at his eldest daughter quietly. For a long time, a smile appeared on the old king's face: "I know."
Veronica suddenly started coughing: "Ahem...Father, you can be more tactful."
Rudolf III sighed: "I thought about it for a long time, but I really didn't find that you have the potential to be a king."
Veronica: "..."
"Ahem," Hao Ren couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the father and daughter's increasingly weird conversation with two dry coughs. "Then what, we haven't settled the funeral arrangements yet, right? Didn't we agree before?
Okay, let me first take a look at this...the situation of the Sunburn Tower. After all, I am a clergyman. If I have no choice here, it will not be too late for you to discuss abdicating the throne in favor of someone worthy."
Grand Duke Lu En, who had been standing silently behind the king, also took a step forward at this moment. He glanced at Hao Ren expressionlessly and nodded slightly: "What the guardian said makes sense. After all, the Sunburn Tower is a technology from the Holy Domain.
Maybe the Sanctuary people have a way to reactivate the tower's system without using blood power."
Rudolf III took a deep breath when he heard this: "In that case, Guardian, please do it."
There was not much expectation in the king's tone, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
There is indeed one Veronica left in the Kingdom of Talos who can rekindle the flame, but the blood descendants of other countries on the continent have all lost their power. If this trend continues, the Kingdom of Talos will become the last refuge in chaos.
, such a future is by no means bright even for the people in the shelter: the chaotic power of the entire world will press on this border kingdom, and the result will be nothing more than a slight extension of the time of death. So even if there is a glimmer of possibility,
Rudolf III also hopes that every Sunburn Tower in the Kingdom of Order can be relit, not only for the continuation of the entire world, but also for his kingdom to have a brighter future.
Now that contact with the Holy Land has been lost, Hao Ren has obviously become the only hope.
With this hopeful gaze, Hao Ren came under the huge crystal. He bent down and carefully observed the pool filled with strange liquid.
The liquid was obviously not water, but it wasn't blood either.
The flame burning quietly above the liquid is not a normal flame. It has no temperature at all.
"Can I put my hands in?" He raised his head and asked His Majesty the King, "I have washed my hands."
His Majesty the King was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the technical method of the "Guardian" inspection device was so simple and crude. However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no such taboo in the use of the Sunburn Tower, so he nodded: "
Yes, but be careful when you put it in. The water may look like nothing, but in fact it contains very strong energy. Most people should not be exposed to it for too long."
Hao Ren nodded and carefully reached out his fingers to the silver-white water.
The moment his fingertips touched the surface of the liquid, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in his spiritual world.
This feeling was fleeting, as if it was some kind of illusion, but Hao Ren still keenly captured the changes in the moment, and he quickly made a judgment: it was not an illusion!
At that moment, he seemed to feel that his spiritual link with the outside world had become loose for a moment!
He pulled out his hand and saw that the silvery white thin liquid on his fingertips was disappearing little by little, as if evaporating out of thin air, but the feeling of establishing a spiritual connection before was still lingering in his heart.
Hao Ren frowned. This time he was prepared in advance. After concentrating, he dipped his fingers into the "water" again.
