Chapter 499 Tower

Lin Yu was glad that Buyetian Huo Le did not let him go to see her mother alone, but chose to go with Lin Yu.

He did not know where the head of Buyetian family was now.

And the facts also proved that...

Buyetian Huo Le's mother's place was indeed not easy to find.

After the two left the teahouse, they walked straight to the deepest part of the entire Buyetian manor - walking along the corridor for nearly half an hour.

Lin Yu and Buyetian Huo Le passed by the kitchen where the servants were busy, the winding artificial stream and the landscape waterwheel, the Zen garden, and the ancestral hall with more than ten white jade statues...

The long corridor became more and more silent and straight, and the buildings on both sides gradually became tall, magnificent but monotonous.

From the beginning, the quaint wooden courtyard and single-family building gradually became like solemn and tall palaces.

Finally - Lin Yu gradually saw a tall, gray-black hexagonal tower standing at the end of Buyetian Manor.

Its shadow covered the corridor and other surrounding buildings, as if it had swallowed up other buildings and grown step by step.

What puzzled Lin Yu was that...

He seemed to have never seen this building before - or rather, he had never noticed it.

"Is it some kind of cognitive interference method, or is the design of the entire Nevernight Manor simply too clever?"

Lin Yu was full of curiosity, but he had no way to ask.

After all...Fu Luo might have asked and understood the truth.

However, fortunately, the two summons sitting on Lin Yu's shoulders were well aware of this.

"Gua... Mr. Director, this building was probably built with some kind of 'illusion' material, so after a certain distance, it will interfere with the correct cognition of its existence."

"I guess this is probably a design for some kind of defense against external attacks. It is not only effective for the 'cognition' of life, but also can interfere with the recording and cognition of objective objects... I'm afraid it's difficult to do it with video or positioning."

"Gua, I've seen this phenomenon, but it's the first time to see something this big!"

Lin Yu nodded: "Sure enough, there is something wrong with the tower itself. Is it the same type as your ink?"

Hannah hesitated: "Gua, it seems to be different. My ink is based on the principles of optics and appearance, and this is more like a 'concept' level creation..."

Old Zheng took over Hannah's words.

"It's miracle alchemy... In the 'wasteland world', although it seems that the world is dominated by technology companies and various new technologies are the most critical, the cornerstone of this world's technology tree is still 'alchemy'."

"Every noble can survive to this day and obtain a lofty status, relying on the alchemy of 'equivalent exchange' and 'creating miracles'."

"The company decoded the 'equivalent exchange' part of alchemy into repeatable experiments and theorems that can summarize the rules, forming the 'new alchemy' and continuing to develop, but the 'creating miracles' part is still firmly in the hands of the nobles."

"Even without 'miracle alchemy', the previous 'equivalent exchange' is nothing but a castle in the air."

"And the core of 'Miracle Alchemy' comes from the gods - this is why the wasteland seems to be the world least affected by the gods, but in fact it is the world most affected by the gods."

"Because in other worlds, gods are usually directly connected to a specific creature through religion, spokespersons, and divine selection - and in the wasteland, especially in this city that never sleeps, the power of the gods is passed down through the pyramid structure."

"It is precisely because the power of the gods is passed down that the power structure of the wasteland world is constructed - although it is just my guess, the natural high position of the princes and nobles is probably derived from the gods."

Old Zheng spoke his analysis of this world in a fluent manner.

Lin Yu understood what Old Zheng meant.

"So, the existence of this building means that I have finally reached the top, only one person away from the gods, right?"

"Yes... So I suggest you put both me and Hannah away."

Old Zheng suggested cautiously.

"Normally, Hannah's disguise is absolutely effective, but facing a person who may be a spokesperson for God, it is best to be fully prepared."

"This head of the Nevernight family is likely to be similar to the Lord of Kirishima or Hannah's uncle."

Lin Yu exhaled after hearing this.

"Anyway, [Mask] should still be reliable, after all, even God can be deceived..."

The effects of [Props] from the 'Death Game', especially [Professional Props], still have the highest priority.

However, Hannah's own abilities are indeed not so reliable.

"So, the two of you are really not suitable to stay outside."

Lin Yu put away Hannah and Lao Zheng, and let them return to the [Props Space] again in the form of [Little Chef Apprentice] and [Active Brain of the Wise].

"Fu Luo, you really gave me a big surprise... You are almost 'reaching the sky' in this Nevernight City!"

"You are not even 'first level', but you can be related to God..."

Lin Yu really felt a little headache.

Indeed, the more noble and upper-class Fu Luo's status is, the more convenient and easy it is for him as an imposter to act - if it was Lin Yu himself, how to sneak into the birthday party of Nevernight Huoxing and contact Art Mercury would be a thorny problem.

Now Lin Yu can not only attend as a guest, but even pull Art Mercury into a small room for a private chat when he sees him!

But Fu Luo's current status is too "prominent", which has created new problems.

The quality of his social circle in Nevernight City is a bit too high.

Paris, Nevernight Huoshu, Nevernight Huole...

These three people are more difficult to fool and deceive than the other, and now there is even a head of the Nevernight family... and he is the chosen one by God!

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot, and Lin Yu can't care so much.

What's more, although Lin Yu has a headache, he still has some confidence.

"What are you daydreaming about again."

The voice of Nevernight Huole came.

"I'm just thinking about the opening remarks for a while," Lin Yu came back to his senses and said nonsense, "It's not an easy job to please your mother."

Buyetian Huo Le sighed.

"That's true..."

The two walked to the end of the corridor and the foot of the hexagonal tower.

The long and spacious stone steps of a hundred steps led to the bottom of the tower - there was a closed metal door.

On both sides of the door, there were two guards in heavy armor standing tall.

Rather than saying that this is the place where the head of the Buyetian family lives, it is more like...

A prison for dangerous people, or a demon-locking tower to suppress demons.
