Rudolph III and Grand Duke Loen obviously knew that time was running out. There was no time to send envoys to other countries to test the effect of the lifeblood on the Sunscorch Tower. This not only required a lot of troublesome diplomatic procedures, but also needed to explain the origin and function of the lifeblood to the neighboring countries. There was also the time for the test. After the test, they had to bring back the results, and if it was effective, they had to send the lifeblood to other countries. So, they had to make two trips back and forth. Optimistically, by the time the dust settled, the people on the mainland would already be dead.
Now that the forces of Chaos had sealed off the entire world, the various Kingdoms of Order were like isolated islands in the dark. All teleportation portals between them had been sealed, and communication via the Magic Net was intermittent. The only way for the kingdoms to communicate with each other was to send out thousands of soldiers and horses to rush through the Land of Chaos. There were very few lucky ones like Veronica who could cross the Land of Chaos with just over twenty people. Most of them would die in the middle of the journey. The king and his advisors pondered and felt that sending people to the neighboring countries to test this thing was too much of a test.
But obviously, they could not put aside the precious "ancient relic" contributed by the guardian. To be honest, even Grand Duke Loen was quite tempted by the lifeblood. What if it worked?
"Let me say something." At this time, Princess Veronica stood up. "The guardian has helped us more than once. If he has malicious intentions, he will have plenty of opportunities to make a move. As long as he doesn't make a move on Cassouin Sacred Mountain, Taros will lose the last bloodline inheritance, and the Sunscorch Tower will naturally be extinguished. So Uncle Loen, if you still doubt the thing he took out at this time, it will be really disgraceful. "
Grand Duke Loen frowned. "I don't doubt the guardian himself, but I have never heard of this thing called the lifeblood."
Hao Ren deliberately glared at them. "The Sunscorch Tower is a technology of the Sanctum. I have said that there is no problem. What other results can you come up with?"
After saying this, Hao Ren gave himself a thumbs up in his mind. This feeling of lying with one's eyes wide open was really cool.
"Why don't we give it a try?" Rudolph III stepped forward and interrupted the meaningless debate. "We don't have much time to think about it. To be honest, Veronica herself is not the best choice to light the furnace. I am not talking about her talent as a king, but she is more suitable to appear on the battlefield. She is a natural commander. If she lights the furnace, the kingdom will not have a wise king, but a future general. "
His Majesty was quite tactful when it came to evaluating his daughter …
Hao Ren saw that no one had any objections, so he didn't say anything more. He directly placed the one-meter-tall metal container on the side of the pool.
Before this, he had already learned about the process of the ignition ritual from Anina. He knew that the most important part of the ritual was to let the bloodline heir stand next to the Holy White Crystal and bleed into the pool. The various magic spells set up in the Sunscorching Tower would naturally complete the following steps of transformation and power extraction. During this process, the bloodline heir needed to always stand on the "altar of sacrifice." Not only to maintain the blood supply, but also to let the magic circle continue to draw power from the heir's body until the flames of the tower were fully restored.
But now he would directly pour the 'energy' into the pool, and the whole process should be simplified.
The container of the lifeblood was opened, and the fresh 'blood' surged like a mollusk, pushing toward the valve. When the liquid was about to fall into the pool, something suddenly came to Hao Ren's mind. "Oh, by the way, how much blood do you usually use for one ignition?"
"Only twenty drops," Rudolph III replied casually.
"What the f * ck?"
The 100% concentration of the lifeblood had been poured into the pool. This was the power inheritance directly from the goddess of creation, much stronger than the power in Veronica's bloodline. Hao Ren estimated that he would need to pour half a washbasin of such a powerful thing.
The last thing in his line of sight was a dazzling light. The light gushed out from the pool and swallowed the Holy White Crystal in the blink of an eye. Then, with a loud bang, the silver flame without any heat burst out. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind:
Holy moly, it blew up.
A flash of light from White City, the capital of Taros, was destined to be a mark in the history of Collow. This light, known as the Pillar of Dawn, not only illuminated White City but also crossed the boundaries of space and time. In an instant, its light was seen by all the kingdoms of Collow at the same time, as if symbolizing the end of the darkness, tearing the night sky.
In the Kingdom of Beacon Fire, Olaf, the King of the Desert, was standing on the balcony with his queen, looking at the vast desert that was gradually sinking into darkness, thinking about the equally dark and chaotic future. The "accident" of his children and the shocking conspiracy of the Cult of Armageddon had overwhelmed the valiant emperor. The towering shadow of the Sunscorch Tower was reflected in his eyes. The sacred tower of the Kingdom of Beacon Fire had dimmed, and the new igniter could not ignite its flame. It seemed destined to extinguish in a few days, causing the country to fall into complete destruction.
But at this moment, a beam of light shone into the eyes of the King of the Desert. He looked up in surprise and saw that it was in the direction of the Black Swamp and the Barren Wilderness. Across the vast land of chaos was the Kingdom of Taros with mountains and forests.
At the same time, the ruler of the Kingdom of Frost in the Neverwinter Continent had also left her throne. The crystal ball in the hands of the Queen of Witches, Constance, glowed brightly before it could not withstand the powerful impact and shattered. The queen saw an illusion in the surge of magic, and she almost sprinted down the stairs. This had completely destroyed her usual elegant and cold image. She stood in the hall and shouted at her servants, "Open the window! Open the window in the south! "
Light had already seeped through the gap in the hall, and the servants quickly pushed open the ornate window. Constance saw a beam of light piercing through the sky …
The mage emperor of the Violet Empire stood in front of the Sunscorch Tower's Sacred White Crystal. He had dismissed all the servants, leaving only his children standing before him. The old emperor had taken off his heavy crown and robe, and was only wearing casual clothes as he walked into the pool of silver flames. The surge of magic had caused a layer of blue light to appear on Hector the Great's hair. He took a deep breath and was ready to ignite all his life force.
His children who had lost their powers stood before him. Some bit their lips, some looked ashamed, and some had tears in their eyes.
"Remember, the Violet Empire has stood against the tides of Chaos for twelve centuries. We did not rely on living and muddling through to become the oldest and most glorious kingdom in the world." The old emperor's eyes were glowing with magic. "We have the most powerful magic in the world, and this power can be used to protect the kingdom and its people. So it is for my ancestors, so it is for me, and so it is for all of you."
The arcane power began to surge in the emperor's veins, and the remaining power of his bloodline was about to ignite. But just as the power was about to go out of control, the old emperor suddenly stopped.
He did not stop on his own, but the Sacred White Crystal was suddenly filled with energy, and the energy system of the Sunscorch Tower seemed to have been injected out of thin air, and the powerful divine power of Order cut off Hector the Great's magic.
The emperor was stunned, and his children looked at each other. No one knew what had happened.
At this moment, the gate of the Sunscorch Tower suddenly opened. The imperial guards guarding outside the tower had disobeyed the emperor's order and opened the gate ahead of time. But the emperor had no time to pursue the responsibility of the imperial guards.
Passing through the open gate of the tower, he saw a ray of light rising from the dim horizon. The light was bright and solid, as if it was close at hand, but also as far away as the horizon. This beam of light seemed to tear through the barriers of space, descending brilliantly at the end of everyone's sight.
All the facilities in the Sunscorch Tower began to operate, and its core was suddenly filled with energy from an unknown source.
The same scene was playing out in every corner of Collow.
The light released by the burning of the lifeblood had distorted some of the laws of Collow. It appeared in the eyes of everyone outside White City, and even in the distant space far away from Collow. From any distance, one would see a light source of the same size and brightness, which was exactly the same as the Star of Creation.
The dazzling light lasted for more than ten minutes before it gradually dimmed. Perhaps this level of energy release was not enough to dispel the corruption of Chaos that had spread throughout Collow. When the light dissipated, darkness reoccupied people's vision. But the light was a signal. When the light shone, all the kingdoms in the world were completely shaken.
On the southern border of Taros, Fort Raven had just recovered from the chaos.
Lily was discussing the Kingdom of Taros and the War of Chaos with Ulysses. The husky maiden felt that she had to figure out where she was before she could find her landlord. So she listened very carefully. But the sudden white light from the sky had caused a huge commotion. The entire fortress was in a mess. All the guards and beasts had witnessed the spectacle.
After the white light disappeared, the mages of Fort Raven found that the Spire of Flames on top of the fortress had inexplicably returned to its peak state.
Before Lily could figure out what had happened, her adviser, the high-ranking monk Calaxus, hurried over.
"Alpha, the monster we caught is not right!"
