GOR Chapter 656 "Unsolved Mystery"
The sudden darkness caused the Imperial Capital to fall into a state of panic. The citizens who were still immersed in the mourning atmosphere lingered on the streets for a long time and did not completely disperse. The sudden darkness caused the crowd to fall into a state of inaction for a short period of time. This kind of strange phenomenon caused the crowd to fall into a state of inaction for a short period of time, which quickly turned into panic.
Even the guards in the Imperial Capital were starting to panic. Although the Imperial Capital Guards were the most elite division and the officers were trying their best to control their subordinates, there were still more and more soldiers who forgot about their duties and stared at the sun that had turned into a black spot in the sky in bewilderment.
The sun …
The sun, disappeared!!!
The city began to fall into chaos. Although the current commander of the public security office was very capable and personally led a team to maintain order on the streets, he couldn't do anything about it. On such an important funeral occasion, all the big shots in the capital weren't in the city.
What made the guards and the commander of the Public Security Department depressed was that they couldn't find anyone to ask for instructions from the higher-ups.
All the higher-ups had gone to the Imperial Mausoleum. In the midst of the chaos, what made the commander of the security office smile bitterly and helplessly was that at this moment, the highest-ranking official in the Imperial Capital seemed to be himself and the division commander of the Royal City Guards.
But the most shocking thing was yet to come!
About a quarter of an hour after the total solar eclipse occurred, the solar eclipse still showed no signs of fading. It was as if the sun had been completely swallowed up and would never return …
But at this time, suddenly, whether it was the panicking citizens or the soldiers who were trying their best to maintain order, they all heard an earth-shattering sound at the same time.
Rumble …
That loud sound came from the direction of the Imperial Palace!!
The tallest building in the capital, the symbol of the Roland Empire, the center of the continent's most powerful magic array, the white tower that was once the pride of the Roland people for thousands of years …
More than hundreds of thousands of people witnessed a magnificent and spectacular scene at this moment.
A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sky above the towering white tower. The whirlpool seemed to be formed by countless storms in an instant, but the strange thing was that there wasn't even the slightest bit of wind!
In the center of the vortex, within the terrifyingly thick vortex, there were countless terrifying electric currents: black, white, gold, purple …
Those electric currents seemed to be gathering more and more, as if they were accumulating energy.
Then, after the deafening roar that almost deafened everyone in the Imperial Capital, countless people clearly saw a thick electric current descending from the sky from the center of the cyclone and violently hitting the huge magical gem at the top of the White Tower!
In an instant, the electric current spread all the way down the White Tower. In an instant, the White Tower seemed to be on fire. Under the weather of the solar eclipse, the surroundings were dark, and the White Tower was like a huge torch stuck in the ground!
The entire white pagoda was wrapped in a thick ball of light that was like a flame and also like an electric current. This light burned so fiercely that it could be clearly seen from dozens of miles away! Circle after circle of light quickly spread out in all directions. One, two, three …
More and more arcs of light spread from the White Tower to the entire Imperial City!
No one knew what had happened. They were all dumbfounded as they stared at the White Pagoda in the Imperial Palace. For a moment, the entire Imperial Capital had sunk into an extremely strange silence! No one spoke. Their mouths were wide open as they stared in shock at the huge torch in the distance …
White Tower … Magic array … Could it be that it was activated by itself?!
The silence lasted for a few minutes. Then, the ground began to tremble. The tremors seemed to spread out with the White Tower as the center. The tremors weren't violent and didn't seem to cause any damage to the building. However, the crowd standing on the ground could clearly feel the rhythmic tremors coming from beneath their feet!
The crowd was suddenly in chaos!
Push mulberry! Squeeze! Trample! When the hundreds of thousands of citizens who were originally on the streets to see off the funeral procession were in chaos, the few thousand Public Security Department soldiers were like small boats in the vast ocean. They were simply unable to stop it!
Even the Imperial Capital's City Guard only had 20,000 people, and they were also filled with panic.
It was at this moment that Du Wei arrived in the sky above the Imperial Capital. Beside him was Old Chris who had transformed into a Golden Dragon. One man and one dragon hovered side by side in the sky. Du Wei was also looking at the White Tower in shock. However, after a brief moment of shock, Du Wei stole a glance at Old Chris.
Even though he had transformed into a dragon, Du Wei was still able to see a trace of excitement and joy in the eyes of the Golden Dragon.
"Is this it?" Du Wei's voice was very deep. "You have been waiting for this day for a long time?"
Old Chris came back to his senses. He lowered his voice and said with a creepy smile, "Now is the time! Now! "Then, he raised one of his dragon claws and pointed at the White Tower in the distance." Over there! Over there! Over there!! "
Although Du Wei was shocked in his heart, but like a flash of lightning, he was able to connect everything he saw to the underground labyrinth under the White Tower. Vaguely, there seemed to be some strange connection with the Demon Temple from ten thousand years ago. Now that he thought about it, he was able to vaguely guess what was going on.
"Hahahahaha!!" Old Chris looked up to the sky and laughed. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!! The treasures left behind by my master have finally arrived!! "
After saying that, his huge body turned into a golden light and rushed towards the Imperial Palace.
Du Wei sighed and looked down. The Imperial Capital was in chaos. Above the sky, Du Wei could still faintly hear the sounds of turmoil in the city. He couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. However, he casually shook his head. At this moment, he didn't have time to hesitate. He could only quickly chase after Old Chris.
Quickly flying into the palace, Du Wei wasn't in the mood to enjoy the panoramic view of the palace from the sky. Old Chris was the first to land in the center of the palace, at the foot of the white tower, followed by Du Wei's side.
"What are you waiting for?" Du Wei frowned.
Old Chris finally transformed back into his human form. His face was full of awe. "Here …"
Following his finger, Du Wei saw the White Tower in front of him. Standing close to this "blazing" tall building, the dazzling light was almost impossible to look at. However, the direction Old Chris was pointing at was the gate at the base of the White Tower.
At this moment, the gate was unexpectedly wide open. The gate behind the light was filled with deep darkness, like an open mouth.
"Someone went in first?!" Du Wei also frowned because around the white tower, there were several people lying on the ground. All of them were wearing the red robes of a court magician. Although today is the day of the Regent's funeral, the palace still left some court magicians to guard this forbidden area.
These court magicians seemed to have fainted. Du Wei walked over and casually glanced at them. He immediately saw that these court magicians had been knocked unconscious by a powerful magic.
"They should be above the Saint rank." Du Wei judged. "To be able to knock down these court magicians in such a short time, their strength is definitely not ordinary."
Old Chris's eyes revealed a trace of murderous intent. "Humph, who dares to go in front of us and offend the treasures left behind by the Great Demon God?!"
Du Wei frowned. "I guess it might be an expert left in the city, so they went in one step ahead of us … Most likely it's the descending angel hiding in the Shrines! Maybe it's the Pope himself … "
Old Chris's face changed, but then he coldly said: "Humph, it doesn't matter even if these guys went in first! Do you think it's so easy to enter the treasures left behind by the Great Demon God?! Courting death! "
With that, he flung his robe and strode into the gate. Du Wei could only follow behind.
— — —
Vivian and Jojo's strength was far inferior to Du Wei's, so they fell behind by a lot. When they rushed back to the Imperial Capital and arrived at the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace, they were already a quarter of an hour late.
Standing around the forbidden area of the White Tower, the fainted court magicians were left on the ground in the formerly heavily guarded forbidden area. Outside, the Imperial Army was in a mess, but none of them rushed into the forbidden area. This was also thanks to the iron law of the Roland Royal Family for thousands of years.
"He … Could he have gone inside?" Vivian anxiously looked at her sister.
Jojo's face also showed some hesitation, but this straightforward girl quickly made a judgment. "That must be it! Such a strange scene, this is the center, Du Wei must have run here! Look, these court magicians on the ground, maybe it was Du Wei who knocked them out! "
"Then, let's go in and look for him." Vivian said and was about to rush inside. Jojo, after all, had more "Jianghu experience" than this naive little girl. Thinking for a moment, she first checked the weapons she carried. Because she was going to participate in the funeral procession, Jojo naturally couldn't wear her usual warrior outfit. She didn't even carry a sword. Fortunately, the green flute on her waist could be used as a weapon. Vivian, on the other hand, was dressed like a noble girl. She didn't even wear a magician's robe, but she wasn't afraid because her magic wand and other things were in her storage ring.
"Okay, let's go in." Jojo nodded: "But be careful."
In fact, she also understood that her words were a little superfluous, but at this moment, looking at this strange scene that she had never seen before, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
But just as she was about to pull Vivian inside, she suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing over. Then, a golden light fell from the sky and directly landed in front of the two of them on the road leading to the white tower's gate!
This was a tall figure. When he landed on the ground, he faced the white tower's gate with his back facing the two sisters. This guy seemed to have rushed over. His whole body was shining with light. He was wearing a black armor, but it was unknown what material was used to make it. On the surface of the armor, there were all kinds of hair-raising scratches. There were also many traces left behind after being repaired and forged. The most serious damage was left behind a long scratch on his back. It seemed that the back of the armor had been completely split open by something. After being repaired and forged, there was a trace that was close to half a meter long.
And this guy's body, with a rough look, was at least close to three meters tall, as if a giant was standing in front of them! He had an imposing figure and his shoulders were extremely wide. Looking at him from the back, he looked like a mountain!
What surprised the two sisters even more was that the skin that was exposed outside of the armor was completely black in colour. On the surface of his skin, there were strange patterns. It was unknown whether he was born with it or if it was tattooed on, but those patterns seemed to be some kind of totem.
His thick long hair was long and curly, but it was tied into a strange long braid. Looking at it this way, it was filled with a rough and wild aura.
More importantly, this guy had suddenly descended from the sky with his back facing the two sisters. He seemed to be lost in thought as he stared at the white tower's gate. He did not deliberately spread out his aura, but the two sisters felt a strong sense of oppression! This feeling was unprecedentedly strong! This person's body seemed to be concealing a profound and powerful aura that would cause one's heart to tremble!
Finally, this fellow slowly turned around. His eyes seemed to casually sweep past Vivian and Siqiao – just that one look was enough to make Vivian and Siqiao feel as though this fellow was looking at them like a dragon looking at ants.
It was not a deliberate look of contempt. Rather, it was a natural 'disregard'. It was as though in this fellow's eyes, the vast majority of the creatures in this world, be it humans or beasts, were no different from gravel.
To Vivian and Siqiao's shock, this person before them was actually … not a human!
His clear facial features allowed them to immediately see that he was an orc! That majestic and imposing body was like a mountain peak and it was filled with a majestic aura that caused others to look up at him.
When his eyes swept past them, Vivian and Siqiao felt their bodies stiffen – this was not fear or cowardice. Rather, it was an instinctive shudder! It was as though this orc before them could turn the vast majority of the creatures in this world into ashes with just a flick of his finger.
This intuition was very strong!
Finally, the orc opened his mouth and said, "Two humans? You two want to enter? "
He smiled. However, even though the orc was smiling, there was no sense of beauty to it. The trace of indifference and condescension on his face was not concealed at all.
Vivian and Siqiao instinctively felt that this orc's strength was likely at a level that they could not even imagine! This guess shocked the two of them even more.
For a moment, the two of them forgot to speak. Even the shrewish Siqiao was somewhat dumbfounded.
That gaze was like that of a God looking down on mortals.
His voice was rough and hoarse. However, his tone was exceptionally calm and gentle – this strange contradiction formed a special temperament.
"Then, let's go in." The orc continued smiling. "I am also going in. We can go together."
Pausing for a moment, the orc looked at the two sisters and sighed softly. "Humans … … could it be that this is how you treat a God?" Then, he raised his voice and said coolly, "Do not be afraid. I will not harm you two. In my eyes, you two do not have the qualifications for me to harm you. Oh, my name is … … Hector. "
After saying that, he strode toward the entrance of the White Tower. As he walked, he chuckled. "He he, after waiting for so many years, I have finally arrived … …"
Seeing the tall fellow walk toward the entrance, he stood within the radiance of the White Tower and turned to look at Siqiao and Vivian. "What is it? You two are not coming in? This is a miracle that is hard to come by in 10,000 years. "
Siqiao glanced at Vivian. At this moment, Vivian, who had always been gentle and weak, revealed a look of determination. "Let's go!"
"All right." Siqiao nodded. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the orc. Then, she whispered, "This fellow … …"
"I don't care!" Vivian was unusually determined. "Because, he, he, he went in!"
— — —
The most intriguing thing about this world was that many times, things would appear to be coincidences. However, in the end, people would have no choice but to wonder if this was fate.
After Vivian and Siqiao followed the mysterious orc known as Hector into the White Tower … …
They were not the last batch of visitors to the White Tower.
Moments after they entered the White Tower, another guest came to visit the forbidden area.
In the thousand years since the founding of the Empire, this forbidden area of the Imperial Family had received more visitors than all the previous thousand years combined.
An old man in white and a blonde haired woman appeared together. They descended from the sky and stood before the White Tower.
After the two of them landed, they looked at each other. The only difference between them was that the old man in white had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. However, his eyes were filled with wisdom. Naturally, he was Lan Haiyue.
As for the woman, she did not open her eyes at all.
Queen Medusa, on the other hand, had a slight frown on her face. There was a faint trace of unease on her otherworldly face. It was as though there was an aura of extreme dread lingering in the air – although she was unable to determine where that feeling of dread was coming from, standing before the White Tower, she could vaguely sense an instinctive warning coming from the depths of her soul.
It was as though there was an existence here, not too far away, that she was in awe of. If she were to continue moving forward, she would get closer …
More accurately, it did not appear to be a scent. Rather, it was an aura lingering in the air, an energy shockwave, or something else …
"Beautiful Miss Nicole, you are afraid."
Lan Haiyue sighed and said, "I can see the unease on your face."
Queen Medusa shook her head and replied in a cold and wooden voice, "I … do not know."
Lan Haiyue's smile was somewhat profound and his eyes were complicated. He said, "It seems quite a number of people have been here."
Next, he frowned and looked at the burning torch and the gate hidden within the light. He asked, "Do you want to … go in?"
This time, Queen Medusa did not hesitate and said, "Humph, they are already here!"
After the two figures, one old man and one young woman, disappeared through the gate of the White Tower, it was as though fate had struck the clock. It was as though the power of fate was causing mischief …
It was even more abrupt compared to the appearance of this strange phenomenon – it disappeared without any warning.
The sun in the sky, which had turned into a black spot, had yet to return to its original state. However, the huge cyclone in the sky above the White Tower suddenly dissipated at this moment!
The huge vortex transformed into countless streams of air. Then, they shattered and dissipated into the sky. The flowing streams of electricity also returned to their original state.
The White Tower was like a burning torch. However, at that moment, it seemed to have burned itself out. Finally, its light began to dim. After the last trace of light disappeared …
Hu!
A soft sound rang out and the gate automatically closed.
Next …
The base of the White Tower suddenly rotated slowly like a Rubik's cube. "Ka ka ka" sounds of stones rolling could be heard. After rotating a few times, the gate on the base remained the same. However, if someone were to enter the gate, they would likely not be able to find the way in!
It was as Old Chris had said to Du Wei:
"Special gates will only open at special moments."
Imperial History: On the day of the Regent's funeral, the magic array of the White Tower was activated. When the members of the Imperial Family rushed back to the Imperial Palace, His Majesty the Emperor personally entered the White Tower to investigate. However, nothing was found.
This incident was similar to the incident where Du Wei accidentally activated the magic array when he entered the Imperial Palace at night. With the exception of a few people involved, this incident became an eternal mystery to this world.
(Continuing tomorrow)
(The final climax … I assure you, from today's content all the way to the end of this book, the plot will be very tight. Because, from this point until the end, it is basically a climax. The final showdown, the unravelling of all kinds of mysteries, the trial of fate, and so on …
This is the stage of the final feast. Yet, I wrote it with extreme pain. The trial of the fate of the characters made me struggle repeatedly.
In the end, there are only a few tens of thousands of words left in this book. The ending is a bit later than I expected. It will definitely not end by the end of this month. It will drag on until around the 4th or 5th of March.
Don't worry about the hole I dug earlier. I will fill it all up! Hehe, my evil plan …
I know that I am guilty of not being able to update quickly. However, the ending cannot be written quickly. Also, it is impossible for me to write quickly.) (To be continued.
