Reina narrowed her eyes and looked at Horn as if she was looking at a monkey.
"Everything I said was the truth! It's up to you to believe it or not! And if you're not here to seek eternal life, then what are you here for?! "
Horn shouted in exasperation.
"I don't want any eternal life, I just want to find my master."
Hearing this, Horn froze for a moment, then said excitedly, "Hey! Come help me, I'll be your master! "
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly punched in the stomach, and his entire body flew out.
"You're really strong, kid! Haha! "
But what surprised Reina was that this uncle in ragged clothes actually flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground. He didn't even pant, as if nothing had happened.
"Do you want to fight?"
Mister Ball got into a fighting stance.
"No, at least he doesn't have any bad intentions." Reina said in a low voice.
"Hehe, I was just joking, but what I want to say is that if you leave now, you'll definitely regret it in the future, because you can only encounter the Tower of Eternal Life once in your life. It's not a place you can come and go as you please." Horn said seriously, then his eyes widened, looking a little scared, and said in a low voice, "But if you want to find someone, you can also reach the top. Even if you don't want eternal life, the Tower of Eternal Life can fulfill all your wishes. Rumor has it that the War God Anmihu was someone who went to the Tower of Eternal Life, and he obtained power that humans can't reach."
"Then, then recovering memories or finding someone …"
Reina's heart wavered, and Horn quickly seized the opportunity, saying, "Of course! This kind of small matter is nothing to the Tower of Eternal Life! But the prerequisite is that you have the ability to reach the top. "
Hearing this, Reina looked up at the bright top of the tower.
Wish.
Suddenly, there was an itch in her heart, like some kind of magic was attracting her, making her want to climb the tower.
"Wishes and whatnot are just daydreams of people who want to reap without sowing! What you want can only be obtained through hard work. Of course, hard work might not be enough, but little princess, you'll definitely be able to fulfill your wish. "Mister Ball said.
But Reina didn't listen, looking at the top of the tower.
"Little princess?"
"Why don't we go and take a look? We're already here anyway," Reina suddenly said.
Horn burst out laughing. "Yes!" he said, echoing, "Yes! Yes! Anyway, there's nothing to lose. Come, let's work together. We'll definitely be able to reach the top of the tower. "
"No, I can go up by myself."
However, Reina said something that Hoen did not expect. After saying that, she headed straight for the tower.
Horn hurried in front of her and waved his hand to stop her, saying, "Hey, hey! Wait a minute! You can't do it alone! This pagoda was not a place for sightseeing. It was very dangerous! If you're not careful, you'll lose your life. Moreover, I've said that there are many terrifying demons here. If you're alone, you'll definitely be attacked by them! "
Hearing this, Reina stopped and said with a frown, "Why don't you go up by yourself? Why do you have to work together with me?"
Horn smiled and said, "Because this pagoda can't be reached alone. I've already tried countless times by myself, but I've always failed. I've thought about it over the years and finally found the reason why I couldn't reach the top. That is, one person can't reach the top."
"Why?"
Reina asked in confusion.
"Because one person's eternal life is meaningless. That's just eternal loneliness. But if many people have eternal life together, then it won't be lonely. Therefore, the main purpose of this pagoda is friendship and mutual help. Only people like this have the qualifications to reach the top of the tower!" Horn explained.
Reina frowned.
"Alright then, I can work with you. But before that, you have to tell me what kind of mechanism this pagoda has … …"
… …
A huge snowstorm was howling. The snowy ground was covered with countless corpses, half buried in the snow. Among them, there was a huge monster with holes all over, lying on the ground like a snowy mountain. Not far away, a human flag was raised in the ancient city.
The humans had won, but they had paid a heavy price. More than half of the soldiers had been sacrificed. In addition to this sudden snowstorm, they were trapped in the city along with the corpses of the monsters.
Cold, hunger, and uneasiness. To the exhausted soldiers, this was simply torture. They didn't feel the slightest bit of joy from victory. Instead, they felt the uneasiness brought by the darkness.
At this moment, in a large hall, there were candles lit. There was even a pile of firewood burning at the side for warmth. An Luo frowned as he looked at the map on the stone table. General Suo Hu sat at the side with his eyes closed. The adjutant and commander didn't say anything, only sitting there silently.
"Cheer up, we won."
General Wei Long patted An Luo who was beside him. He couldn't stand this stagnant atmosphere.
"But fifty thousand of our men died. It's all because I wasn't strong enough …" An Luo blamed himself.
"You've already done very well. If you didn't defeat that monster, let alone fifty thousand, everyone here would probably be lying in the cold snow."
General Wei Long said.
Even though he said that, An Luo didn't feel much better. Those were all lives, and there were countless families behind them. Seeing his soldiers die one by one made him feel incomparably pained.
That scene was still vivid in his mind. Every night, he would dream of his soldiers being nailed to the ground.
If it was his great grandfather, such a tragedy wouldn't have happened.
An Luo clenched his fist.
However, at this moment, a sudden tremor woke everyone up. Suddenly, a strange whistling sound came from the bottom of their feet.
General Suo Hu immediately opened his eyes. An Luo also stood up abruptly. General Wei Long picked up his weapon.
"What's going on?"
"Let's go out and take a look."
"Are there still monsters that haven't died yet?!"
The three of them immediately ran out of the room and saw the soldiers who were also awakened by the tremor and strange sound. Their faces were filled with fear and their sunken eyes were filled with fatigue.
"Attention! Don't let your guard down! Light cavalry! Have you completed the mission I gave you?! "
General Wei Long shouted.
"Reporting to the general! We have indeed searched every corner! "
His subordinate replied. An Luo frowned. He felt a heavy feeling in his chest, as if something was coming.
"I know everyone is tired. Hold on a little longer. Find the source of the strange sound. Don't let go of any clues!"
An Luo shouted.
"Ah!!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard. The three of them looked at each other and immediately ran towards the source of the scream. Some of the soldiers also hurriedly followed.
On a corridor one floor below, a soldier covered in blood was sitting on the ground with bloodshot eyes. He was desperately retreating.
"What's going on?!"
An Luo was the first to run up. Suddenly, a nauseating stench came over. He followed the soldier's line of sight. The corridor was filled with rotting flesh.
