Located in the eastern part of the Mifata Federation, there was a small city called "Grey Tower City." The reason it got its name was naturally because of a magic tower in the city called "Grey Tower." Years ago, a high-level wizard named Ronald Hart built this magic tower. Later, with this magic tower as the center, the residents slowly gathered and eventually formed this city.
A city full of characteristics of the Mifata Federation, similar to many other cities.
However, there were also some differences. For example, the Hart Family, which had the most prominent status in this city, did not believe in the great Master of Mystery, nor did they believe in the human gods. Instead, they believed in a slightly more obscure god — the God of Scholars.
The God of Scholars was a follower of the Master of Mystery, a weak Divine Power. He did not have many believers, and the most important one was probably the Grey Tower City led by the Hart family. Over the past 400 years or so, with the construction of the Hart Family and the people who believed in the God of Scholars gathering here from all over the continent, this city had gradually become a place similar to the Holy City of the Church of the God of Scholars.
Of course, a city with less than half of the residents believing in a certain god was not qualified to be called a Holy City — the so-called Holy City was either inhabited by a god, had a high historical status, or had a pure enough faith. The example of the former was the "Void City" of the Church of the Void Mask. The example of the latter was the "Highest Tower" of the capital of the Mifata Federation. As for the last example … many cities were like this, such as the former Garth City and the later Rem City.
Although the Hart family had been working hard to make Grey Tower City a Holy City of the Church of the God of Scholars, at least for now, or until more than a month ago, this effort had not been able to achieve success.
After that, it was no longer possible to succeed.
This was because the God of Scholars had fallen in the war between the Mystery God System and the Human God System.
The fall of a god was, of course, an earth-shattering event. Although the God of Scholars was not the only god who had fallen in that war, and the God of Scholars was not the most powerful god who had fallen in that war, for the people of Grey Tower City, especially for the people of the Hart family, it really felt like the sky was about to fall!
How could this be! Why would the great God of Scholars fall?! He was so kind, so kind, so aloof from worldly affairs!
But no matter how shocked and angry they were, the fall of the God of Scholars was still an indisputable fact.
Even so, the people of Grey Tower City did not give up on their faith in the God of Scholars because of this. They continued to pray every day. The members of the Hart Family had even built the square in front of the Mage Tower into a large-scale sacrificial array. Every day, they would bring a group of clergymen to hold rituals inside the array, hoping that through their prayers and blessings, the fallen God of Scholars would receive enough faith and be resurrected once again.
In theory, this was entirely possible. Even if a god had fallen, as long as there was enough faith and some suitable opportunities, he could indeed be resurrected. Throughout history, there had been more than one god who had been resurrected after his fall, putting on a vivid "return of the king."
But theories were just theories after all. There were so many fallen gods, but how many of them could be resurrected?
At the very least, the people of Grey Tower City had prayed for a long time, but they did not see any signs of the God of Scholars coming back to life.
Under such circumstances, they became more and more nervous and didn't know what to do.
Then, the Church of the God of Aristocracy and the Church of the God of Knowledge came to preach.
These two churches had different attitudes and doctrines, but they had one thing in common … they both claimed that the God of Scholars had fallen completely and that there was no possibility of resurrection. They wanted people to give up their faith in the God of Scholars, which had already lost its meaning, and to switch to their embrace.
This statement was not necessarily wrong, but it was a little hateful.
The ordinary residents were fine, but the Hart Family was not a small force, and the patriarch was a high-level mage who controlled a Mage Tower. When he found out, he flew into a rage and roared, "Who said that our Lord can't be resurrected! You bastards! Vultures! "
Then, he led the group of mages and the city defense army to wipe out the two churches. He chased them out, who had not yet gained a firm foothold, and declared that they were not welcome in Grey Tower City, forbidding them from stepping into the sphere of influence of Grey Tower City again.
This matter was not a small matter, but it was not a big deal either. For the current residents of Grey Tower City, other than finding ways to resurrect the God of Scholars, there was nothing else important …
Days passed, but there was still no sign of the God of Scholars being resurrected.
On this day, a junior of the Hart Family was praying in the square.
"Young Master Owen, Young Master Owen!" An old voice interrupted his prayer. It was the old butler who had taken care of him since he was young.
"What's the matter?" Owen Hart first bowed respectfully to the statue of the God of Scholars, as though the aura on the statue had yet to dissipate. After that, he stood up, walked to the outside of the sacrificial magic array, and asked in a puzzled tone.
The old butler's expression was a little complicated. There was a little nervousness, a little uneasiness, but also a little relief and relief. Seeing that Owen Hart had come out, he smiled and said, "Master wants you to go home."
Owen was stunned for a moment. Only then did he notice that his grandfather and father, who used to spend more than ten hours a day praying here, were not here.
Not only that, many of the Hart Family were not here.
(That's strange. Where is everyone?)
He had some doubts in his heart, but he did not say anything. He left the square with the old butler and returned to the Mage Tower.
As soon as he stepped into the Mage Tower, he was slightly stunned again. He keenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.
The Gray Tower was different from ordinary Mage Towers. It was not only a Mage Tower, but also a holy object that had condensed a large amount of Divine Power. It was a treasure of the Church of the God of Scholars that was almost equivalent to a divine artifact. Walking in this Mage Tower, not only could one feel the magic power that was everywhere, but one could also feel the warmth and kindness of the Divine Power of the God of Scholars, which was filled with a tranquil and distant temperament.
However, since the fall of the God of Scholars, the Divine Power that pervaded the Mage Tower had dissipated. This made many people who had long been used to this kind of environment feel very uncomfortable. They always felt empty in their hearts and uncomfortable in their bodies.
Owen was one of them.
He was not a devout believer, but believing in the God of Scholars had become a part of his life, a habit that was engraved in his soul.
From the moment he was born, he had grown up feeling the Divine Power of the God of Scholars and had long been used to this power. So even though he was not a particularly devout believer, he still prayed seriously every day, hoping to help the God of Scholars resurrect and restore his old life.
And today, in the Mage Tower, he once again felt the Divine Power of the God of Scholars!
"Has His Majesty … been resurrected?" he asked in surprise and joy.
The old butler's expression was a little complicated. He did not say anything and just led him forward in silence.
They soon arrived at the top floor of the Mage Tower, the prayer hall.
However, in the prayer hall, what Owen saw was not the resurrection of the God of Scholars, but a vague figure.
"Hello, young Holy Son," the figure said with a smile. The figure smiled and said, "I am the successor of the God of Scholars, the God of Knowledge and Culture, Wall."
