Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 175:
is located in the eastern part of the Secret Tower Federation. There is a small city called "Gray Tower City". It is named naturally because there is a magic tower called "Gray Tower" in the city. At that time, a high-level mage named Ronald Hart built this magic tower. Later, with this magic tower as the center, the residents gathered slowly and finally formed the city.
is a city full of the characteristics of the Secret Tower Federation, which has a similar origin to many other cities.
But there are also some differences. For example, the Hart family, the most prominent in this city, believes in neither the great mystery master nor the human gods, but a slightly remote deity—a scholar The god.
The God of Scholars is the subordinate **** of the Master of Mysteries, weak and other supernatural powers. His followers are not many, and the most important of them is probably the Gray Tower City led by the Hart family. In the past four hundred years, with the construction of the Hart family and the gathering of people who believe in the God of Scholars from all over the mainland, this city has gradually become a place similar to the holy city of the Church of the God of Scholars. .
Of course, a city in which less than half of the residents believe in a certain deity is not eligible to be called a holy city. The so-called holy city is either inhabited by deities, or has a high historical status, or is faith Pure enough. An example of the former is the Holy City "Void City" of the Masked Void Church, and an example of the latter is the "Highest Tower", the capital of the Secret Tower Federation. As for the last type... many cities are like this, such as the former Gal Sri Lanka, and later Rem City.
Although the Hart family has been working hard to build and want to make Gray Tower City also the holy city of the Church of the Scholars, but at least know that for now-or until more than a month ago, this effort has not been able to succeed. .
Then, it’s impossible to succeed again.
Because the scholar **** fell during the war between the mystery **** system and the human **** system.
The fall of a deity is of course an earth-shattering event. Although the deity who fell in that war was not only the God of Scholar, and the God of Scholar was not the most powerful deity who fell in that war, but for the people of Grey Tower City, especially for the Hart family. Said, it really feels like the sky is falling!
how is it possible! Why did the great scholar **** actually fall? ! He is so kind, so kind, so indisputable!
But no matter how surprised and angry they are, the fall of the scholar **** is still an indisputable fact.
Despite this, the people of Grey Tower City did not give up their belief in the God of Scholars. They still prayed every day. The members of the Hart family even built the square in front of the Magic Tower into a large-scale In the sacrificial circle, a group of priests are held in the circle every day, hoping that through their own prayers and blessings, the fallen scholar **** will gain enough faith and be resurrected again.
In theory, this is entirely possible. Even if the deity has fallen, as long as there is enough faith and some suitable opportunities, it can indeed be resurrected. In history, more than one deity was resurrected after the fall and staged a living "Return of the King".
But theories are only theories after all. With so many fallen gods, how many are resurrected?
At least, the people of Grey Tower City prayed for a long time, and there was no sign of the resurrection of the scholar god.
In this situation, they became more and more nervous and unsure of what to do.
Then, the Church of the God of Nobility and the Church of the God of Knowledge came to preach.
These two churches have different attitudes and different doctrines, but one thing is the same... They both claim that the **** of scholars has completely fallen, and there is no possibility of resurrection. The belief in the **** of scholars has been transferred to their embrace.
This statement is not necessarily wrong, it is just a bit hateful.
Ordinary residents, the Hart family is not small, and the patriarch is a high-level mage who controls a magic tower. After learning about it, he was furious and roared: "Who said my lord can't be resurrected!" You mustache dogs! Vultures!"
Then, he led the wizard group and the city defense army to eliminate the two churches. They drove them out, and declared that they were unpopular in Grey Tower City, and forbid them to step into Grey Tower City's sphere of influence.
It’s not a small thing, but it’s not a big thing. For the current residents of Grey Tower City, apart from trying to resurrect the God of Scholars, there is nothing serious about it...
Day by day passed, but the Scholar God still showed no sign of resurrection.
On this day, a junior of the Hart family was praying in the square.
"Master Owen, Master Owen!" An old voice interrupted his prayer, it was the old housekeeper who took care of him since he was a child.
"What's the matter?" Irving Hart respectfully saluted the statue of the God of Scholar, as if the aura on the statue had not dissipated, then stood up and walked outside the sacrificial magic circle , Asked suspiciously.
The expression of the old housekeeper is a bit complicated, some of which are nervous, a little disturbed, and some are relieved and relaxed. Seeing Owen Hart coming out, he smiled and said, "Master called you home."
Owen was taken aback, only to notice that the grandfather and father who used to spend more than ten hours praying here were not there.
Not only that, but many of the Hart family are not there.
(It’s strange, where did everyone go?)
He had some doubts in his heart, but said nothing. He left the square with the old butler and returned to the magic tower.
Just stepping into the magic tower, he was taken aback for a while, keenly feeling that the atmosphere was wrong.
The gray tower is different from the general magic tower. It is not only a magic tower~IndoMTL.com~, it is also a holy object that condenses a lot of sacred power. It is almost a treasure of the Church of the Scholars of God. Walking in this magic tower, you can not only feel the magic power everywhere, but also feel the divine power of the warm and kind, full of quiet and distant temperament of the scholar god.
However, since the fall of the scholar god, the divine power that permeated the tower dissipated. This makes many people who have been accustomed to this environment very uncomfortable with their roles, and they always feel empty and uncomfortable.
Owen is one of them.
He is not such a devout believer, but for him, the **** of belief in scholars has become a part of his life, a habit, engraved in his soul.
Since he was born, he has grown up feeling the power of the scholar god, and has long been accustomed to this power. So even though he is not a particularly devout believer, he still prays earnestly every day, hoping to help the **** of scholars resurrect and restore his past life.
And today, in the magic tower, he once again felt the power of the scholar god!
"Your Majesty...is you resurrected?" He was surprised and happy, and asked aloud.
The look of the old butler was a bit complicated, he didn't say anything, just led him on silently.
They soon came to the top floor of the magic tower, the prayer hall.
However, in the prayer hall, what Owen saw was not the resurrection of the scholar god, but a specious figure.
"Hello, young saint son." The figure smiled and said, "I am the successor of the God of Scholars, the God of Knowledge and Culture, and Wow." (To be continued.)
