Flashback to the Tower of Babel in the City of Steel.
“What’s going on? All the guardian angels in the Tower of Babel have retreated, and even the blessings engraved on the walls have lost their effectiveness. Is the Tower of Babel about to close?”
“Haven’t you heard? The Winter Nation’s army has invaded the border. It’s said that someone even discovered the traces of the Elven Kingdom’s army. The angels guarding the Tower of Babel have already returned to the border.”
A group of adventurers had gathered to chat at the Tower of Babel.
The City of Steel had become much livelier than it had been in the past few decades since the Tower of Babel’s appearance.
Every day, many elites would be there to challenge the Tower of Babel to gain fame, and their local adventurers could also obtain weapons and potions by challenging the Tower of Babel to become stronger at the same time. Challenging the Tower of Babel had become something that the people from the City of Steel had to do every day, and the number of levels one passed had also become a symbol of one’s status.
No one would pay attention to a gold-tier elite walking down the street. However, if one had passed the tower’s 50th level, even if one were only a silver-tier warrior, countless people would want to flatter them. A beautiful woman took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
“Are the Elven Kingdom and the Winter Nation invading simultaneously? Those two kingdoms are very far apart, alright? If they invaded simultaneously, the Holy Dragon Kingdom would not know about it. What is His Majesty doing?” one of them asked.
“I heard that the Winter Nation and the Elven Kingdom were invading our kingdom because of His Majesty. He had led them to invade the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”
“What did you say? How could His Majesty do that? Is he crazy?”
“For the throne? Previously, when all the priests in the kingdom lost their faith, the betrayal of the seven gods caused a stir. Some people said that His Majesty joined the seven gods to try to control Watson, but he failed. Because of that, His Majesty held a grudge against Watson and wanted to take revenge on him.”
“Is it really necessary to kill the strongest genius in the kingdom because of a small matter?”
“How is that not necessary? If you were the king, would you allow a genius in the kingdom that you could not control to appear and live in fear all day?”
A group of people was discussing, and some man interrupted them impatiently, “What’s the point of saying all that? The key is that the Tower of Babel is closed now. If Watson is killed by His Majesty, what will happen to us if the Tower of Babel is not opened in the future? It’s not easy to get a stable job. I don’t have to worry about being killed by the magical beasts in the underground city every day. My wife and children are waiting for me to earn money. If we don’t have the Tower of Babel, how will we live in the future?”
The Tower of Babel was in the underground city. There were no magical beasts in the Tower of Babel. Previously, many people died in the city each year due to the underground city’s exploration.
If the Tower of Babel were closed, they would have to go back and live a life of bloodshed. That was something that every citizen of the City of Steel was unwilling to do.
The man’s words made the adventurers shut up, one after another. In their hearts, they were complaining about King Landhar III. Watson created the Tower of Babel to make life better there. King Landhar III did not do anything useful for the City of Steel. Instead, he tricked them.
“Why are you guys still arguing about the Tower of Babel? Quickly, go out and take a look. Something big has happened outside! Originally, the border between the City of Steel and the border was a forest. Now, that forest has suddenly become a huge mountain. On the mountain, there is a tree that is similar to the World Tree. There are magical fruits that can turn a person into gold with just a bite! I’ve already picked a basket. You guys should go and pick one too.” A powerful adventurer who was emitting a gold-tier aura descended from the sky. His voice rolled in all directions under cover of his combat aura.
“What? Is that such a good thing? ”
“Everyone, go quickly.”
Many adventurers gave up waiting under the sky tower and walked out of the city upon hearing that. When they arrived outside the city, they saw that a huge sacred mountain had appeared on the distant city’s border. The mountain was so tall that it reached into the clouds. There was an equally huge tree growing on it. The river flowed down from the tree in all directions. The water from the river mixed with the clouds and formed a few rainbows. It was so beautiful that people could not tell whether it was reality or a dream.
“A holy mountain had appeared. Did Young Master Watson create it? ” Among the group of adventurers, a man wearing silver armor and holding two swords asked. Beside him stood a man with freckles on his face. He was dressed in flame feather leather armor, and there were two young men dressed in different clothes. The two young men each held a priest-specific book and a longbow.
All four of those four people were members of the Blood Rose adventurer team. The one who spoke was Captain Clyde. Watson had ordered them to challenge the Tower of Babel until the 100th floor continuously. However, after their efforts, they had already passed the 99th floor. They had wanted to challenge the 100th floor, but in the end, they discovered that the guardian of the 100th floor, the black dragon, had disappeared.
“Other than Young Master Watson, there’s no one else in the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom who has such an ability!” They had heard that Young Master Watson was at war with two kingdoms simultaneously, yet he was still able to do such a thing. He was worthy of his title. Then, Annie spoke with a smile. Her expression was much more mature than before.
“Young Master Watson is fighting. It’s not appropriate for us to continue staying here. Even though doing so might go against Young Master Watson’s orders, we can’t do anything even if the Tower of Babel is closed. We might as well go to the border and help.”
Leon, holding the book, pushed the monocle on his face. He had just finished speaking when Arthur refuted him, “Young Master Watson is fighting with the armies of two kingdoms. We should not disturb him at such a critical time. Otherwise, we’ll be of no help to him. ”
“Arthur, it’s not that you don’t want to disturb Young Master Watson. You’re afraid, right?” Annie curled her lips.
“Nonsense. Who said I’m afraid? I’m always brave.”
“Then why are your legs trembling?”
“My pants are too tight. Can’t I shake my legs? ”
Seeing the two of them arguing endlessly, Clyde frowned and said, “Alright, stop arguing. We’ll head to the border in a moment. Young Master Watson has helped us a lot previously. Now, it’s our turn to help him. At the very least, we can’t let the king harm him.”
“Perhaps we can help Young Master Watson win that battle?” Annie tried to say something but found that several of her companions looked at her with strange expressions. She scratched her nose awkwardly. “Why are you looking at me like that? I was just joking.”
“No, Annie, I think you made sense. Since we’re all helping, why can’t we defeat the king’s army? Anyway, the king is leading the two kingdoms’ armies to attack the border. Once they break through that, the City of Steel will be the first to be threatened. Obviously, he doesn’t care about us. If that’s the case, why should we still support him? Instead, I feel better when Young Master Watson becomes king.”
“I think so too.”
“Since everyone thinks so, what are we waiting for? Let’s go! Oh, right! Before we go, let’s ask the other adventurers if anyone wants to come with us.”
