"It turns out that Sister Gaius can glow." In the ruins, Ceci hugged San Gaius next to him with great satisfaction.
"That's right, that's right. This is the greatest use of this guy." Li Huailin said as he surveyed his surroundings. This wasn't the first time he had encountered such an underground palace. It seemed like the ruins in the game all liked to have such a theme. There would be an underground palace at every turn.
The underground palace here was similar to the one he encountered in the north last time. Both were small, dark caves. The difference was that his companion last time was the super reliable fighter, Anthony. This time, it was the super unreliable Ceci who was a burden.
"Strange …" San Gaius murmured as he looked around.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked when he noticed San Gaius's situation.
"It feels like there is another god nearby, but it doesn't feel like a god … Anyway, I haven't encountered it before," San Gaius said.
"You can feel other gods?" Li Huailin asked.
"If they get close, both sides will feel it," San Gaius explained. "The other party should have felt me too, but … I feel a little strange. The other party feels like a god, but not a god at the same time …"
"This is the most troublesome …" Li Huailin said. "Anyway, there is a god-like existence here, right? Okay, let's look around."
San Gaius's illumination range was quite large. Basically, everything around him could be seen clearly. It was a little different from the clean underground palace last time. This time, the underground palace was very messy. There were all kinds of almost weathered pottery jars on the ground, and the walls of the underground palace were engraved with murals. It was just that because they had been weathered for too long, it was impossible to tell what they were.
"Ah … it's so hard to write," Ceci, who was taking notes, complained due to the lack of light. As he spoke, he moved closer to San Gaius, but San Gaius did not pay much attention to Ceci. It seemed that he did not have enough affection for Ceci.
"Let's go. Let's go forward and see." There was only one path ahead. In front of Li Huailin was a passageway, and then there was a door. The door was also made of stone, and it was closed. It looked like it would be difficult to open, but if there was only one passageway, then it should be possible to open it. It was probably some kind of mechanism. However, Li Huailin was confused. Wasn't this place very dangerous? Why didn't he see any monsters?
However, it was completely different from what Li Huailin had imagined. Li Huailin was still paying attention to the mechanism as he walked. As a result, when he reached the door, the door opened on its own without a sound. The sound of friction was especially irritating in this enclosed space. Li Huailin took out his weapon and prepared to fight.
When the door opened, there was a huge room inside. However, the room seemed to be empty. At least, there were no monsters in the place that Li Huailin could see.
"Eh? What the hell is going on? "Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Welcome … everyone …" Suddenly, a voice appeared, startling Li Huailin and the rest.
Of course, Li Huailin immediately looked left and right, but he still did not see any NPCs.
"There's no one here," Ceci said curiously. "Who's talking?"
"He's not here," San Gaius suddenly said.
"Everyone, don't be nervous." The voice sounded again. "My name is Wuornos. I am the owner of this Tower of Trial …"
"Tower of Trial? Isn't this a ruin?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Wuornos, I think I've heard of this name before," San Gaius suddenly said.
"Yeah, I think the name is familiar too," Ceci said. "I think I've seen it in a book somewhere."
"Really? Is it a famous person? Hurry up and think, "Li Huailin said.
"Sigh …" San Gaius hesitated for a moment, seemingly unable to remember.
"Hey, you're a god. Is it okay for you to have such a bad memory?" Li Huailin then looked at Ceci. "What about you?"
"Wait … I'm about to remember …" Ceci said very seriously.
Seeing that Ceci was still thinking, Li Huailin shouted to the surroundings, hoping to talk to him, "Hey, Wuornos, what is this Tower of Trial for?"
"Those who pass the trial can obtain the power of the Titans …" Wuornos replied.
"I remember!" Ceci suddenly said. "Wuornos, one of the twelve ancient Titans. I've seen him in a book."
"Oh, right!" San Gaius also remembered after being reminded. "No wonder it feels a little strange. This is the feeling of the ancient Titans, not the feeling of a god."
"Titan?" It was the first time Li Huailin had heard of this term. "What's the situation?"
"According to the records, the Titans are more ancient than all the current Gods. In ancient times, the Titans once ruled the entire continent. However, this race later disappeared, and until now, not a single true Titan has been seen. The highest organization of the Titans is called the Hall of the Clouds. There are a total of twelve Titans in the Supreme Ruling Council, and Wuornos is one of them. "Ceci briefly explained.
"Sigh … Why do I keep encountering such things recently …" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"It's all things that can only be seen in books. So interesting. I didn't expect to meet a real Titan," Ceci said excitedly. Ceci said excitedly, "This trip was so worth it. Mr. Wuornos, come out and let me see what a Titan looks like."
"Sorry, I'm not a living Titan …" Wuornos' voice sounded. "The Titans are indeed extinct … I only exist in the form of a spiritual body now …"
"Sigh …" Ceci sighed in disappointment.
"Alright, alright. Can we come back and talk about what's going on with the Tower of Trial?" Li Huailin said. "You just said that I can obtain the power of the Titan by passing the test? I'm just here to get the Thunder Sword. Did we go to the wrong place? "
"The Thunder Sword you're talking about, which is Saidit, and the Santos you have, these two are weapons made by the Titans," Wuornos replied. Wuornos replied, "You are not in the wrong place. Sadicht is waiting for you in the room downstairs."
"These two swords are weapons made by the Titans?" Li Huailin asked. "Are they that old?"
"In fact … what you see is not what it really looks like … Of course, if you reach the bottom floor, I will tell you everything …" Wuornos said. "Now let's talk about the trial. Although you already have Santos, it should be your first time here. Do you need me to tell you the rules of this Tower of Trial?"
"Oh, please go ahead." Li Huailin nodded.
"This Tower of Trial has a total of seven floors … You are now on the highest floor, which is also the top position. And my spiritual body is at the bottom of the seventh floor. The final goal of the Tower of Trial is to come to my side … "Wuornos said.
"Oh …" Li Huailin nodded. "How do I go down?"
"Don't worry … Child …" Wuornos said. "Other than me on the seventh floor, the other six floors have a guard. After passing their test, you can obtain the power of the Titan. Of course, you can also go to the next floor, but I have one thing to tell you …"
"What?" Li Huailin asked.
"The test is also life-threatening. You have already passed Santos' test, so you should know that," Wuornos said. "But I also know that you Chosen Ones won't really die, so there's a rule …"
"What is Chosen One?" Ceci suddenly interrupted Wuornos and asked.
"Chosen One is an ancient name for adventurers," San Gaius, who was beside him, explained.
"Oh, sorry, sorry. Please continue." Ceci had been writing frantically from the beginning, and when he heard this, he started writing again.
"Because you Chosen Ones will not really die, the rule here is that once a Chosen One dies once, he is not allowed to participate in the trial again," Wuornos said.
"Oh … that's true …" Li Huailin expressed his understanding. It was the Tower of Trial anyway. Of course, those who failed the trial could not come again.
"But this doesn't mean that you only have one chance," Wuornos said. "In fact, you have three chances to pause."
"Oh? What do you mean? "Li Huailin said in surprise.
"The difficulty of the Tower of Trial is not something you can complete now. You can go all the way down, but when you feel that you can't go any further, you can just say the word 'pause', and I will teleport you out. You can go outside to train until you feel that you can come back to challenge. There are a total of three such opportunities," Wuornos said.
"Hehe, how generous," Li Huailin said.
"There are two more things I have to tell you …" Wuornos said. "First, every time you pass a level, you can obtain a portion of Titan's power. However, you can't tell anyone about the source of this power. Your previous one probably didn't tell you about us, right?"
"That's true …" Li Huailin nodded. Weeden did not say anything about this. "No problem."
"Second, if you fail the trial and die, all the Titan's power you have obtained will immediately disappear. Because you are not the person we are looking for, we will take back all the power," Wuornos said.
"Oh, I see …" Li Huailin nodded. The other party meant that he could not die here. If he died, he would fail the trial. It did not mean that he could not die outside in the future. Otherwise, why would Li Huailin be here? He could just go back to the main city and become a normal second class advancement. If he did not die, Li Huailin would not be able to train at all.
"Alright, you have passed the first level in advance. Now go to the second level. Saidy Richt is waiting for you there." Wuornos waved his hand, and a staircase similar to the one below appeared in front of Li Huailin and the others.
