Chapter 127 Clues to the Tower of Stars
At the end of the month of Frostfall, the allied forces of the Shining Territory and the White Tower Province finally completed preparations for war..
However, just as Key and the Marquis of the White Tower were preparing to launch the final attack, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door..
“Evans？”
In the meeting hall, Sunan couldn't help but be startled after hearing Keyi's words..
“That's right.”
Key and the Marquis of the White Tower looked at each other, their expressions a little strange..
“When we first received the letter, we also suspected that the other party was planning some conspiracy, but the people we sent there have investigated clearly and found that the person there was indeed Evans, the legendary figure in the royal family..”
The Marquis of the White Tower also nodded: "I have seen the portrait uploaded below. It is indeed Mr. Evans. His appearance is exactly the same as fifty years ago..”
Even a legendary knight with three rings is still difficult to defeat with a thousand hands..
On the territory of the coalition forces, Key can completely dispatch the Golem Legion and the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment to besiege Evans. As long as he does not care about the cost, he can also kill him with a sea of human tactics.！
After all, the legendary knight is not a wizard's apprentice. He is just a powerful warrior and does not have so many strange methods. Once he is surrounded, he will still die..
Not to mention that Sunan is here.
“We don't know his purpose, but I have sent an army of golems to surround the tavern where Evans is..”
Keyi looked at Sunan with a solemn expression..
“How about it, do you want to go see him, or should we just take action and take this opportunity to kill Evans?？”
As long as Evans is solved, the biggest uncertainty in this war will disappear and victory will be within easy reach..
Su Nan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go see him.".”
He originally planned to meet Evans to see how the other person extended his life..
Besides, he was also curious about the reason why Evans wanted to see him..
Seeing that Sunan had already made a decision, Keyi and the Marquis of Baita stopped talking..
They are all on their own territory anyway, so don’t worry even if Evans has any conspiracy..
Arriving at the tavern where Evans was, the place was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Everything you could see was densely packed stone golems, black rock cavalry, and even steel golems..
It can be said that Evans is already unable to fly at this moment..
Sunan became more and more curious about Evans' purpose. This legendary figure couldn't have come here to die on his own initiative, right?？
Pushing open the door of the tavern, the tavern was deserted. Except for an ordinary-looking man, about forty years old, sitting on the middle table, there was no one else..
When his eyes fell on the man, Su Nan's eyes flashed with surprise..
Under his perception, the life force in the man's body was vigorous and surging, as if he was in the prime of life. It was difficult to imagine that this was an old man who was over one hundred and thirty years old.’.
Obviously, Evans is far from the end of his life..
“I have long admired your name, Your Excellency Sunan, thank you for agreeing to my request for a meeting..”
Evans stood up, smiled slightly, and pointed to the seat opposite.
“Would you mind having a drink with me?？”
Sunan nodded and sat down opposite Evans. There were two glasses of ale on the wine table..
Judging from the color, it’s just the most ordinary ale in the pub..
Su Nan had no intention of drinking, so he got straight to the point and asked, "What do you want Mr. Evans to do with me?"？”
Evans didn't care and said with a smile: "I want to make a deal with you..”
“what deal？”
“I know that the royal family will definitely lose this war, so I come to ask you to preserve some blood for the Kessler family. In return, I can provide clues to the Tower of Stars..”
Tower of Stars？
Su Nan's heart skipped a beat, and she was really surprised now..
He never thought that Evans was looking for him for this matter, let alone that the other party actually had clues about the Tower of Stars..
Thinking of the identity of the Evans royal family, Su Nan felt vaguely aware of it..
“The Tower of Stars is indeed related to the royal family.”
Evans smiled slightly: "You can say that.”
“In fact, the wizard who built the Tower of Stars was the ancestor of our Kessler bloodline..”
“then why.”
Sunan didn't finish speaking completely, but Evans already understood his doubts and shook his head with a wry smile..
“Although our ancestors left us the key to enter the Tower of Stars, those who enter must have wizard qualifications or become a three-ring legendary knight. Unfortunately, after so many years, I am the only member of the royal family who has met the conditions to enter the Tower of Stars..”
Su Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "That's why you can still maintain strong vitality now because of the Tower of Stars."？”
“That's right." Evans admitted frankly, "I passed the knight trial in the Tower of Stars and got a bottle of Dawn Potion, which extended my lifespan by almost one-third..”
The lifespan of the three-ring legendary knight is about 1230 years. If it is extended by one third, it will be 1670 years..
Due to the high physical strength of the legendary knight and the infiltration of elemental power, the body of the legendary knight will remain in peak condition unless it reaches the last few years of his life..
It’s no wonder that the vitality in Evans’ body is so vigorous..
According to him, he can live another thirty or forty years at least..
However, potions that can extend lifespan by one-third are at least level four potions, which are already areas that only formal wizards can touch..
The Tower of Stars is indeed the inheritance of the official wizard. You can get such good things just as a reward from the Knight Trial..
“What exactly is in the Tower of Stars? "Su Nan asked curiously.
Evans shook his head with some shame and said: "You have to pass three trials to enter the Tower of Stars. I was not strong enough. I only passed the first trial the first time and failed the second trial. With good luck, I barely passed the second trial, but I still failed in the third trial. After taking the reward potion, I was teleported out. From the beginning to the end, I was not able to enter the Tower of Stars, so I didn't. Know what's going on inside.”
“The Tower of Stars can be entered multiple times？”
This is the first time I’ve heard of this Su Nan.
“As long as you meet the entry requirements, you can try the challenge as many times as you want..”
“However, the Tower of Stars only appears once every twenty years, and each time only lasts for two months. During this period, everyone has only one chance to challenge. Once they fail, they have to wait another twenty years..”
Sunan frowned secretly. He didn't expect that the Tower of Stars would have such restrictions..
However, the Tower of Stars is a wizard inheritance left by ancient wizards. Its original intention is probably to leave some hope for those with wizard qualifications in this elemental desert, so it makes sense to have stricter restrictions..
“Where is the Tower of Stars?？”
“I don’t know.” Evans shook his head, “The Tower of Stars does not exist on the Starlight Continent. Only the moment it appears, I can sense its location through the key, and the place it appears every time is random..”Not on Starlight Continent？
That's in a certain dimension.
Maybe it's a half-dimensional space created by official wizards.
As a result, it is almost impossible to find where the Tower of Stars is before it appears on its own initiative..
Su Nan sighed in disappointment, but quickly cheered up again..
No matter what, I finally got a clue to the Tower of Stars. This is undoubtedly good news..
However, overjoyed, Sunan did not let down his guard. He took a deep look at Evans and said, "You traded the key to the Tower of Stars with me just to let me retain some of the blood of the Kessler family."？”
Evans showed a somewhat complicated expression, sighed and said: "I don't like fighting by nature, I prefer to travel around. To be honest, I hate political struggles and wars. If possible, I don't want to pay attention to this matter at all..”
“It’s just that I once promised my brother that when the Kessler family is in danger of being destroyed, I will take action to preserve a trace of blood for the family..”
“In the current situation, even if I ask you to let the current Grand Duke and his heirs go, you will not agree, right?？”
Su Nan looked calm and did not answer, Quan acquiesced..
Cutting off the grass and roots is a quality that any qualified overlord should possess.
It was because Marquis Jinyan and Owen failed to kill Keyi and Sunan that they finally died..
Key has experienced this series of things personally, so it is naturally impossible for him to repeat the same mistakes and leave himself with huge consequences..
He will definitely get rid of the Grand Duke and all royal bloodlines that may directly threaten his dominance..
Of course, if Sunan opens his mouth, Keyi will agree, but Sunan has no intention of doing so..
Seeing Sunan's thoughts, Evans finally gave up his last thought, stopped testing, and said with a sincere expression.：
“So I just ask you to leave some blood to the Kessler family, even if it is a collateral line, it doesn’t matter..”
Su Nan said without comment: "I still have a question. You are not weak. Why don't you try to fight and surrender to me so easily?？”
After hearing this, Evans couldn't help showing a strange expression.
He seemed to remember something, shook his head and said：
“Forget it, I don't want to die.”
“You wizards are all a tricky bunch, with endless tricks and tricks..”
“I was already very surprised when Ovijiu was able to kill a wizard..”
“But even Oviejo died at your hands. I asked myself that I can't be your opponent. Instead of struggling to the death, risking my own life, and dragging the entire Kessler family with them, I might as well make a deal with you..”
“Wizards believe in the principle of equivalent exchange. In my opinion, Tower of Stars should still be somewhat attractive to you..”
Su Nan raised an eyebrow: "You know the wizard quite well..”
“I have been traveling over the years and have interacted with several wizards, and I have learned a lot about wizards from their mouths," Evans said with a shrug..
“oh? "Su Nan suddenly became interested, "Where did we meet them all?？”
Evans smiled and said: "This is also part of the deal.？”
Su Nan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you.”
“As long as you give me the key to the Tower of Stars and tell me the information about the wizards, I can make the decision to save a member of the Kessler family who is no more than five years old..”
Evans cheered up: "It's a deal, but you have to make an oath and a contract！”
“It seems you really know wizards well..”
Sunan took a deep look at Evans, but did not refuse..
It is also good for him to make an oath contract to ensure that the information Evans told him is true, especially about the Tower of Stars..
Any creature with a soul can make an oath contract.
After spending some time, the two of them made an oath contract.
The moment the contract was reached, Evans showed an expression of relief on his face, as if a heavy burden had been lifted..
It seems that he really rejects this kind of thing.
Think about it, otherwise with Evans, a legendary knight with three rings, as long as he is willing to stand up and support the royal family, there will not be so many careerists in the Principality of Stars in recent years..
A sufficiently powerful top combat force is no less important to a country than the Dinghai Shenzhen.！
After that, Evans took out a stone from his arms and placed it on the table in front of Sunan.
“This is the key to the Tower of Stars.”
Su Nan picked up the stone and looked at it carefully. It was actually a stone carved into the shape of a talisman. The material was a bit like jade, and it felt warm and slightly cool when held in the palm of the hand..
The surface is covered with dense enchanting runes, and their complexity is so mysterious that even Sunan, who has reached level 4 of [Magic Item Creation], seems to be dazzled and incomprehensible..
It can be seen that the person who made this 'key' is many times more accomplished in the field of [Magic Item Manufacturing] than he is..
“It's at least level six or seven..”
Sunan thought secretly.
“The first time I entered the Tower of Stars was forty-eight years ago, and the second time was twenty-eight years ago, so the next time the Tower of Stars appears will be twelve years later..”
Su Nan rubbed the talisman stone, glanced at Evans, and said with a playful look: "You don't have just this key in your hand, right?".”
Even with the promise to his brother, he did not believe that Evans would be willing to give up the only means of entering the Tower of Stars to him..
If you really value family ties so much, you wouldn't be able to ruthlessly sacrifice other people just to preserve some family blood..
Evans laughed and didn't admit it, but the answer was self-evident..
Sunan didn't ask further questions, but brought up the topic just now.
“Tell me about the wizards you have met.”
Evans nodded and spoke slowly.：
“In fact, I only met three wizards in total..”
“Two of them were met in the Cangjin Empire and the Principality of Jinghua respectively. Although they did not say it clearly, I could see the aristocratic demeanor in them. Those two were most likely to be from the royal family or the great nobility..”
“The third wizard was met in the underworld.”
“Have you ever been to the underworld? "A trace of surprise flashed in Su Nan's eyes..
“It was also a coincidence." Evans recalled, "I tracked a very rare beast during one of my travels, and ended up getting lost in the mountains. I accidentally entered the underground world and was attacked by a very scary monster. Thanks to that A wizard came to my rescue.”
“He said his name was 'Traveler'’.”
