On the Seven Towers

The scene in my memory returned to that conference room again. It's just that there are fewer people present than before, and there are seven empty seats in the front row of seats.

The speaker on the podium this time was Ferre, the new tower master of the Tower of Spirits: "...Due to the sacrifices of our seniors, we finally made the Seven Sacred Towers into a weapon after paying a great price. Now we want to test it. function.”

Hasting said: "For this plan, we have lost too many great mages and seniors, including my teacher who also became the tower spirit of the Tower of Swords. You must give me something decent to be worthy of them. Lost souls!"

"Yes." Feyre said with a sad face, "We have conducted full calculations with the masters of the Forging Tower, the Tower of Source, and the Tower of Symbols. At least in our simulated situation, all of this is It’s effective. As long as we succeed in the next actual combat test, we can use it on the God of Nature.”

"But where are you going to find a god to conduct experiments on you? There is a fundamental gap between the strongest among us and gods." Hasting asked.

"Prophet." Feyre said the word slowly.

"Prophet?" Not only Hasting was stunned when Feyre said this, but other people who didn't know about it also started talking about it.

The prophet is the one who guides them to fight the gods. If she hadn't proved the terror and danger of the God of Nature in many ways, the mages of the Seven Towers would not have tried their best to prepare for this god-killing battle. It can be said that she is the most important ally of the Seven Towers mages.

"You must have all felt the divinity in her, right?" Fei Lei said.

"The prophet has explained this a long time ago. She is a remnant of the mythical era. It is not surprising that she has divinity in her body." Hasting said.

"I'm not doubting her identity, although she still has too many secrets that we don't know. What I'm saying is that we can use the divinity in her to test the weapon composed of seven towers." Fei Lei said, "Of course it is with her Without knowing it.”

Hasting asked in confusion: "How do you want to test the effectiveness of the weapon without her cooperation?"

"Sneak attack." Fei Lei said, "We set up a trap, invite her there, and then send a team of Seven Towers mages she has never seen before, pretending to be assassins from the divine city, so that we can test the power of the Seven Towers weapons."

"But isn't this weapon disposable?"

"We won't test the part that breaks the space and teleports her. As long as we make sure that the Tower of Dreams can confuse him, the Tower of Spirits can immobilize her soul, and the Tower of Swords can control her body, that's enough. The other towers "It's just some math about energy, and we've successfully verified it in other tests."

Hasting said: "I still don't quite understand, why don't you tell her directly?"

Fei Lei said: "First, to test the confusion effect, it is most effective only when the subject is unaware of it. Second... I just can't trust her, and I don't want her to fully understand the completeness of the weaponization of the Seven Towers. plan.

Through testing, she can know at most the effects of the Dream Tower, Sword Tower and Spirit Tower. We can tell her that this is a means to prepare for a decisive battle with the God of Nature, but we cannot let her know the functions of the other towers. , and our real plan is to banish the God of Nature. "

"All decisions against the God of Nature are made by ourselves through analysis. The prophet just put this matter in front of our eyes. Are you too suspicious?" said a female mage, she was obviously worried about Fei Ray's suspicion was dissatisfied.

"I know, but I still feel that this is the final trump card of the Seven Towers. This trump card should not be known to anyone except us."

"Okay. I agree, but this matter must be carefully planned, and try not to let the prophet find any clues." Hasting finally decided.

Adriana stopped the video and said: "I did not participate in that test, so I have no memory of that time. I only know that they set up a very secret trap, which also attracted the prophet. The prophet really thought that It was a sneak attack from the Divine City, but... the test still failed."

"I guess there was a problem at the very beginning?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the God of Time, also known as the Prophet, has no memory of how the Seven Holy Towers work as weapons. If the Sword Tower and the Spirit Tower are tested, she should have at least some impression. She only vaguely knows that the Seven Saints Tower is effective as a weapon. The Holy Tower is very powerful when they are together. This may be what I heard from others afterwards, so I guess the problem lies in the initial stage, maybe the confusing effect of the Dream Tower is not effective?"

"Yes, you guessed it right." Adriana opened a memory again.

It was still the conference room, and Feyre was still standing on the podium, but this time he looked haggard and looked much older. Hasting was still sitting on the seat below, but his face was very gloomy.

Feyre said in a slow tone: "I regret to tell you that our experiment failed. And it failed in the first link. The Tower of Dreams cannot allow prophets with divinity to enter the illusion. We want to use illusion to replace combat. In the scene, the wizard who uses the Tower of Sword and the Tower of Spirit controls her body and soul. However, the prophet's consciousness is almost impeccable, and she will not be deceived by the environment created by the Tower of Dreams. We tried it in different environments. Three times, none of them were successful.”

"Gregorio, is it the problem with the Tower of Dreams itself?" a mage asked.

"No." A tall Dream Tower mage stood up, "We have tried. The illusion mediated by the Dream Tower itself can deceive any saint present. However, the prophet's spirit has no loopholes. Just like you can soak any piece of cloth with water, but you can't soak a piece of steel plate. The problem is that the gods seem to be immune to illusions, not that our illusions are problematic."

Frey on the stage said: "That's it. The spiritual protection of the God of Nature may be even stronger. We have been deducing for three days and three nights, but we can't find a suitable method. I can only declare the plan a failure here."

"Then have the efforts and sacrifices to transform the Seven Holy Towers been in vain?" a mage asked.

Frey moved his lips on the stage, but couldn't speak.

"No, it's not in vain." At this time, Hastings stood up and said, "Even if the transformed seven towers are not used as weapons, they have enhanced their ability to evade pursuit. If we eventually fail in the God Killing War, they can also avoid the pursuit of the God of Nature through this strange ability now. He Jin thought of this a long time ago. This guy never has only one purpose in doing things."
