On the Seven Towers

When the crystal was placed in the middle of the formation, several chains of energy appeared on the formation, tightly wrapping around it. Xiao Chen retreated outside the formation and gestured to Mei Tiantian.

Mei Tiantian took out a crystal ball from her storage ring. The crystal ball was filled with golden mist, which looked very sacred. She quickly placed the golden crystal ball on the small circular formation in front of her, and then asked all the magicians to activate the formation together.

Standing outside the formation, Huang Zheng issued an order to rearrange the position. The dwarf marines who were originally defending the formation turned together with the pneumatic cannons and aimed at the middle of the formation.

The surrounding spirit warriors also readjusted their positions like the marines under the command of Song Hongyang. The spirit servant mages began to prepare shields or stand in formation for joint casting. Everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

Roger and Evelyn brought the two forgers of the Fire Crystal Family, Lascano and Midros, out of the cave. Farrell and others followed them out without knowing what had happened.

"What's going on? Why did you force us out? We are still studying the problem of forging temperature!" Midros asked nervously. He felt that the atmosphere was very wrong when Roger suddenly brought us out.

"Yes. Your people also used force to pull us out. What does this mean? Aren't we here to help your allies?" Lascano said with an ugly expression.

Farrell said: "Don't worry, I think there must be some misunderstanding here."

Xiao Chen had already taken out the Thorn of the Heart and was preparing for battle. When he heard the two dwarf forging masters asking questions, he said: "Please be patient, both of you. This is not to do anything bad to you, but to protect you."

"Protect? Can you explain it clearly?" Lascano asked with a sullen face.

Xiao Chen said, "Wait a moment, it's not the right time yet."

On the other side, in front of Mei Tiantian, the golden crystal ball began to float on the magic circle and slowly rotated. All the people around who had felt the power of faith before felt that the golden crystal ball began to release the power of faith of the dwarves.

These powers of faith were collected and refined from the statue made by Xiao Chen using the method that Mei Tiantian, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling worked out together.

And this magic circle is naturally not a charging magic circle, but an energy extraction array. Whatever energy is put into the small magic circle in front of Mei Tiantian, this large magic circle will absorb the same energy of the target.

So now this is a magic circle that specializes in absorbing the power of faith, and the target of the play is the red and blue crystal of the Forging Tower.

Seeing that the magic circle had been activated, Xiao Chen said to the two dwarf forgers: "I'm afraid you don't know that the false god has planted a spiritual mark on you, right? Have you found that you will be unconsciously influenced by the false god and make some decisions that are not in line with common sense and your own wishes?"

"What? How is it possible?" Lascano was surprised.

"Do you understand why you are risking your life to come here? Do you really want to come here? Of course, I know Ansaldo hopes that you will come to help us. But great forgers like you can have your own opinions on such matters. None of the other great forgers of the six major families are willing to take the risk to come here, but why did you take the initiative to ask to come here? Think about it yourself, what kind of mentality did you have at that time."

Lascano was stunned. After Xiao Chen said that, he tried to think about why he came here, but he couldn't remember anything. He actually forgot what he was thinking when he made this decision, as if... he was sleepwalking.

Midros, who was standing by, grabbed his sleeve, his face was also blank, and he kept muttering, "What's going on? What's going on? I feel like I have lost my memory. The things I remember most clearly are what happened after I stepped into this portal."

"Is it really the false god who controls our spirit? But why does it have anything to do with us?" Lascano looked panicked, "How did you judge it?"

"In the king's basement, when I first met you, I felt the taste of the power of faith on you. We have been studying the role of the power of faith for some time, so we are very familiar with that breath. Except for the false god and us, no one in the Dwarf Kingdom will use this power, so the answer is obvious." Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and gently brushed Lascano, bringing a trace of red power of faith between his fingers. The power of faith used by Xiao Chen and others is golden, and only the power of faith of the false god is deep red, so it is self-evident where this power comes from.

"But how can we be controlled by the false god?" Lascano looked at his hands and asked in disbelief.

"I guess you have visited the Forge Temple recently and met the former high priest?" Xiao Chen asked.

"That's true. Many priests in the Forge Temple, including the high priest, are forging masters. When we have difficult problems that we can't solve, we often go to discuss with them. Sometimes when we encounter difficulties in making something, we will pray, hoping that the God of Forge can give us inspiration." Midros said.

Lascano said: "About half a month ago, we went to the Forge Temple. Could it be that time..."

"I guess that's it. Because you believe in the God of Forging, the false god can control you unconsciously with the power of faith." Xiao Chen said.

"Why did he do that?"

"I don't know, maybe he is secretly brewing some plans. You two are definitely not the only ones who have been marked by him. In the past so much time, God knows how many people in the Dwarf Kingdom have been marked like this.

I think it should be very aware of some of the things we do outside. Since the birth of the statue, the false god has lost the source of faith. This should be a fatal blow to him. It will definitely use you as eyes to find the reason.

As for why it wants to influence you in the end and let you run to this trial place, I guess it is to monitor our actions. He should have been using you to secretly observe what we do since we came in.

Xiao Chen glanced at the red and blue crystal trapped in the center of the magic circle. A trace of faith power was being extracted from the crystal by the magic circle. "But fortunately, we discovered this problem not too late, so I also observed it through you, and made a big discovery. "
