Chapter 246 96 The Age of Chaos

Chapter 246 -96- The Age of Chaos

In the central hall of the Tower of Sanctuary, in front of the statue of the Moon God.

Priest Elder Enge, who was sitting in a wheelchair, faced the statue, closed his eyes lightly, and murmured a prayer.

The hall was extremely silent, you could hear a needle drop, until the respectful voice of the garrison soldier came from outside the door:

"Sir Elder, Halfdan the Wind Hunter wishes to see you."

Elder Enge opened his eyes and said:

"Let him in."

The warrior bowed and left, and the dusty Halfdan quickly entered the hall. He bowed respectfully to Elder Enge:

"Priest Elder, I'm back."

Elder Enge turned the wheelchair and nodded slightly:

"Just come back, my child. May the protection of the moonlight be with you."

"You did a good job on this hunting trip. Although you didn't bring back much prey, the significance of a benefactor of the Apocalypse is greater than a sacrifice. The Central Tower attaches great importance to every benefactor of the Apocalypse. Your Merit will definitely be rewarded by the tower."

After hearing what Elder Engel said, Halfdan looked surprised:

"Praise the Moon Goddess! What I said is that I am not wrong. Is she really the benefactor of Tianqi?"

Elder Enge smiled slightly and nodded:

"With such an outstanding appearance, and an extraordinary aura that even makes me feel the pressure, plus being able to enter the range of the Tower of Sanctuary without incident...she must really be the lost descendant of Apocalypse in the Kingdom of High Towers. "

Halfdan suddenly became even more excited:

"Then...then there is no need to adjust the worship level of our Beishan tribe? Lily and Hal also don't have to be taken away?"

This time, Elder Enge was silent.

"Sir Elder?"

Halfdan called urgently.

Elder Enge sighed and shook his head gently:

"I have no idea."

"Even if she is really the descendant of the Apocalypse who was lost in the Central Tower, we are not sure which ethnic group among the Apocalypse she is and which adult she is a descendant of."

"Halfdan, you have outstanding talent, and you are the first candidate to be the next Attendant of the Tower of Asylum. I will not hide some things from you..."

"Just like the status that we and the Apocalypse had before, different Apocalypse also have different statuses. If she is the descendant of those big shots, everything is easy to say, but if she is just a descendant of ordinary Apocalypse, I’m afraid... it still won’t work.”

"No, I believe she must be the descendant of those big shots! I have also seen the messengers from the towers. Even the most noble messengers do not have the unique temperament she has. Her bloodline must be very noble! That's right! That must be it!”

Halfdan insisted, recalling the elegance that was completely different from the wildness in Charlotte's every move.

Elder Engel sighed:

"This can only be determined after the messenger from the tower arrives. As for Lily and Hal, I think...even if this benefactor of the Apocalypse is really of noble birth, the tower will not let them wander outside."

"Why? Lily and Hal are just two simple children! They don't have the power of wild beasts, nor the threat of wild beasts! You know all this! Everyone in the tribe also knows it!"

Elder Engel sighed:

"But they are the candidates designated by the tower. The tower is omnipotent and omniscient. Since the tower believes that they have been infected by the power of the old gods, then they must have been infected by the power of the old gods. The tower has never The infected people are not allowed to wander outside the control of the tower..."

After that, he comforted:

"Halfdan, you don't have to worry too much. It's not a bad thing to send them to the central tower. The tower is omnipotent, and the infection may also turn into a blessing..."

"Once they go to the high tower, they will not only be able to get rid of the curse, but they are also more likely to become a noble chosen person and receive the gift of union with the benefactor of the apocalypse or even the apocalypse!"

Halfdan shook his head:

"No, I don't expect them to become the chosen ones. It is said that the chosen ones are the highest honor for us mortals. But once they are chosen, they will never be able to leave the tower again and will serve the gods all their lives. With Tianqi..."

"Lily is a free-spirited child who hates being restrained, while Hal is an introverted child who will only suffer in silence when he encounters grievances..."

"I don't want them to lose their freedom, let alone face those Apocalypse who have god-like power!"

"Halfdan! Don't be rude to the Apocalypse in front of the Moon God!"

Elder Enge's expression changed slightly and he quickly reprimanded.

Halfdan still looked unconvinced. Elder Enge sighed softly and said helplessly:

"Halfdan, please think about it carefully. Even if you lose your freedom, you can live a more privileged and safer life than our tribe by serving the gods in the central tower."

"Not to mention, without the power of the tower, how long can your child survive the erosion of the old gods?"

"Yes, they do not have the power of wild beasts, but I think you should be able to see their weakness. We are mortals, and mortals... cannot bear the power that they should not bear."

"Halfdan, go back and think about it."

"Is...is there no other way?"

Halfdan was still a little unwilling.

Elder Enge pondered for a moment and said:

"Actually, if you really don't want your child to leave, there is another way..."

"Sir Elder, what can I do?"

Halfdan suddenly became excited.

Elder Eng looked at him and said:

"If there is an Apocalypse or a heir of Apocalypse who accepts your children as followers, they naturally don't have to go to the tower to serve the gods, they just need to serve the master."

"But... you have to understand that becoming a follower of a heir of Apocalypse is equivalent to losing freedom in a sense."

Facing the meaningful gaze of the priest elder, Halfdan's heart moved slightly, thinking.

"There is no absolute freedom in the world. Everyone is just living with different shackles... Halfdan, I'm a little tired. You go back and think about it."

Elder Eng sighed slightly and ordered him to leave.

Halfdan opened his mouth and nodded slowly.

He bowed respectfully and then turned to leave.

However, just before leaving the hall, Halfdan stopped again.

He turned around, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Elder, the Apocalypse saved the world from the demonic disaster and is our savior."

"I have never doubted this matter, and I have always respected the Apocalypse. In my mind, they have always represented the most noble and noble existence in the world."

"But, even if we don't mention my child, our tribe has raised the offering standard three times in a row in the past three years, which has exceeded the ability of many of our tribesmen..."

"Elder, you said that the Apocalypse is a benevolent patron, but... can they really be like this forever?"

Elder Eng's face changed slightly, and he rebuked:

"Halfdan! Watch your words! This is the sacred tower of shelter!"

Halfdan quickly lowered his head and said:

"Sorry... Elder, I was impulsive."

After that, he turned around and left the hall.

Watching Halfdan's figure disappear from sight, Elder Eng put away his anger and looked complicated.

He sighed and said to himself:

"Mercy? Even if they are no longer merciful, what can we do?"

"After all... it is we who need to rely on the protection of the strong to survive..."

"This is a chaotic world where even gods will fall. We, the powerless mortals, are nothing but ants struggling to survive."

This chapter makes up for last night's. There will be another chapter in the evening.
