"Come and buy it, come and look, come and smell it!"
"Dear guest, I see that you don't look well. I happen to have a handful of rare herbs here, do you want to try it?"
"A fried egg that will grow and split! Buy one and you'll get countless of them! "
"…"
This was a … bustling street.
"Why is this happening …" The Scholar hovered above the medieval street and looked down in surprise. On the street, many Voidfolk were busy. It was very similar to the bustling city from before … But the vehicles made of metal had been replaced by large creatures pulling wooden carts. The hawkers by the side of the street were pushing small carts with straw huts. The street lamps had been replaced by lanterns hanging from the eaves. The towering steel buildings had been replaced by low wooden houses.
It seemed that a medieval Voidfolk city had suddenly appeared here. What was the reason for this?
Was it because a large group of 'specters' had flown into a tower? Was that why such a phenomenon had occurred?
The Scholar noticed that the medieval Voidfolk here did not … appear out of thin air. Instead, the people of the 'modern city' had been moved here.
Because it could zoom in on the scenery below, it could see that a few of the Voidfolk looked very familiar. It remembered that it had seen these Voidfolk in the city before.
"We can call this a phenomenon of atavism." Cryopteris said to the Scholar, "They have been affected by the ghosts, so they have been living a severely degraded life here."
"… Let's be serious." The Scholar said, "What do you think is going on?"
"I don't know." Cryopteris said, "It probably has something to do with the creator's simulation device. Maybe this device suddenly wanted to create … a medieval Voidfolk ecology."
"Anyway, let's first find out what's going on with those ghosts." With that, the Scholar flew in the direction of the central tower.
A large group of Voidfolk below looked at the fighter in the sky with an extremely surprised expression. They were not afraid, but they were very curious and kept following there.
After approaching the top of the tower, the Scholar adjusted the fighter to autopilot mode, then opened the cockpit and jumped to the top of the tower.
"A strange Voidfolk jumped down from that strange animal! What is that strange Voidfolk trying to do? It has invaded the Highest Tower! "
The Scholar heard the screams of the Voidfolk below, but it did not care. At the top of the flat wooden tower, the Scholar found an entrance on the ground.
Entering the entrance, the Scholar walked down the wooden stairs and came to the top floor of the tower. It found that the top floor was a very empty place.
There was no furniture here, but the floor and walls were filled with densely packed words. Although these words could be understood, they did not form any vocabulary.
"This is strange." Cryopteris said, "I know these words. They are the words that you used in the past to … seal the spirits. That's what it said in a movie called 'Old Spirit in the Mountains'."
"So, there must be some secret in these words?" The Scholar walked to the wall and reached out to examine it.
"This is …" The scholar soon discovered that the words that seemed to be carved on the wall were made up of a strange material.
It was neither metal nor wood, but …
Whoosh! Suddenly, the Scholar heard a sound, and the words on the wall lit up.
Amidst the glowing words, a large number of transparent … ghosts emerged and surrounded the Scholar in an instant.
"Ah! You broke the seal! "Cryopteris shouted." That doesn't seem to matter, these things are not very powerful. "
"… That seems to be the case." The Scholar looked at the ghosts around it. These ghosts did not approach the Scholar, they just surrounded it.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, the Scholar reached out to grab a ghost beside it. This time, the ghost did not evade, and the Scholar successfully … touched it.
"This … What is this?" The moment the ghost was detected, the Scholar realized … it seemed to be made of a very special material, a material that it had never seen before.
This material was like a gas, but there was something wrong with it.
But overall, this was not … a 'ghost,' but something with a physical body. However, it seemed that this was the only information they had, so they could only call them ghosts.
The ghost that was touched by the Scholar retreated, and the other ghosts did the same at the same time. They all crawled into the words on the wall and disappeared.
"Could it be?"
Even though the Scholar did not know why these ghosts did that, it realized … these ghosts did not actually crawl into the words.
They just spread out.
The material that made up their transparent bodies dispersed like mist the moment they touched the words on the wall, and it spread into the surrounding air.
Even though it looked like they had crawled into the words, they actually dispersed into the air.
However, he still didn't understand why they were doing this. Perhaps they were imitating the effect of being sealed in the words. Perhaps these transparent ghost-like things were also a kind of creature, and under the influence of the simulation system, they were playing the role of ghosts.
They looked like Voidfolk, but they could actually change into various shapes. They were now forced to play the role of the Voidfolk's souls.
That made a lot of sense. If that was the case, then …
"How dare you trespass here!"
Following a series of shouts, the Scholar saw a Voidfolk coming up from the bottom of the stairs. This Voidfolk was dressed in black and held a wooden stick. He shouted at the Scholar, "How dare you trespass into our Highest Tower?"
This seemed to be … a character like a priest? The Scholar remembered seeing this kind of Voidfolk in some past information.
"Get out!" The priest suddenly shouted and pointed the wooden stick at the Scholar. The Scholar felt something hit him in the chest.
The previous information did not mention that the priest had this kind of ability, even though it did not seem to be very powerful.
"You are … so powerful! But how about this? "The priest rushed up and hit the Scholar with the wooden stick.
With a snap, the wooden stick broke. The priest looked at the Scholar in shock and said, "You can … Then there is no other way. We can only ask for the true power of this tower to defeat you!"
After that, he ran down the stairs.
"True power? What is that? "The Scholar asked in confusion, but he did not get any answer.
"Strange …" The Scholar looked at his shoulder and realized …
