200 Chapter 119: 'Tower'

"Honestly I should have expected it. Roselle's diary is messed up because no one can understand it, at the most they'll be like Old Neil and know the numbers but that's it."

Shaking his head, Adryan released the pages of the Diary and they hung in the air. Extending his hand he made the papers float to where he kept his things and caused the yellowish smoke to cover them.

"Flora should know more about this Tower..."

With that done he looked down at his hand and clenched his fist.

"Now only Pyromaniac remains..."

"It's time to start looking for the ingredients and formula of Conspirator"

"Let's see...."

"It was the Black Hunting Spider's composite eye and Sphinx's brain" Adryan muttered as he formed a fireball in his hand.

Those are the main ingredients of the Sequence 6: Conspirator potion.

"I need the other half even though it's not necessary. I can go straight ahead and consume the main ingredients to advance if I want..."

When he said the last part he shook his head.

"That would be stupid..."

"Maybe I could risk it if it was a potion of Sequence 9 or maximum Sequence 8."

"But I'm talking about Sequence 6!"

"That is the true Mid-Sequence during ancient times!!"

"It's a 99.99 percent chance that I'll lose control if I try to do it..."

"So I have to get the other part of the formula."

Adryan quickly began to consider the different ways in which he could get it.

Five options appeared.

"I can try in the Tarot Club to get it but I doubt it very much. The level of the other members is very low, although maybe Alger can get one or even all two main ingredients"

"Another way is at Teacher Isengard's party but it's the same as with the current Tarot Club, the level is too low."

"I also have the Church but I doubt I have enough points for them to give me the formula so I better rule it out for now."

"There is also the Hermits of Fate. The level of the meeting is considerable and it is possible to get the formula even if the meeting is a long time away, it is still a very good option."

"There's also Mr. A's meeting... I can use the fire soldiers to attend without attracting attention and get it so it's also one of, if not the safest options. Even if I don't get it I can still try to get the main ingredients there."

These were the four safest options that had a decent chance of success.

Now there was only one left and was the one with a 100 percent chance of success in getting the formula.

"Finally the most dangerous and difficult option..."

"Ambassador Bakerland" He squeezed the fireball making it disappear.

Bakerland is the ambassador of the Intis Republic and is also the head of intelligence for Intis.

But most important of all, Bakerland is a Conspirator.

"I can use his characteristics to get the complete formula of Conspirator and I can even use them as a replacement for the main ingredients but there is a problem."

"This bastard is always surrounded by guards and getting close without being discovered is impossible."

Adryan is confident that he can take on Bakerland one on one and win.

He just had to use Flora's ability to steal Beyonder's powers and the Ambassador would be defenseless.

"But the problem remains the same."

"He is never alone and even if I steal his powers he will still have other guards to protect him"

"Only if it is necessary I will make a plan to hunt him but for now it is not necessary. I still have options so for now Bakerland is at the bottom, I will focus on getting the main ingredients first."

With the idea of ​​what to do, he closed his eyes and began to form the sphere of light in his mind.

....

Returning to his body in the real world, Adryan opened his eyes.

He cleaned and hid everything he used for the ritual, and now he was sitting on the only chair in his room.

"Flora, do you know something called the Tower?"

The worm woman took a few seconds to respond.

"It is your Lord who asks about this, right?"

'Without a doubt, it was the best decision to say that I follow a real God' he thought as he nodded.

"My Lord is interested in this Tower. 'He' is willing to lower your sentence a little if you have useful information."

Flora was silent again for a few seconds.

"Tower is one of the many names given to a large structure hidden somewhere in the Spirit World or the Astral World, no one knows where it is or what its purpose is.

This name was born because it was discovered that it is divided into floors and each one is more difficult than the previous one." explained Flora.

"So no one knows what its real name is?" Adryan asked.

"Nothing is known about the Tower. The only thing that is known is that if you complete a floor you will get a good reward and that the floors go from lowest to highest."

Adryan raised an eyebrow.

'Again this reward, is it a dungeon like the ones of the manwhas and videogames? If you manage to complete it, will you get experience and materials?'

' Obviously, it won't give experience but the material thing can be. Maybe main or secondary materials but how does the Tower get these things? Wouldn't it end up empty after a while due to those who complete it?'

"Flora, how come the Tower can offer rewards? Shouldn't it end up empty after a while due to completion?"

"This is how it would normally be but this Tower is special. The oldest reports of its appearance are during the beginning of the Fourth Epoch.

Besides getting a good reward is very difficult"

"Why?"

"Because you have to complete the secondary missions on the floor to get them" Flora's tone turned annoyed, as if she remembered something she didn't like.

'Side missions? Is it really a Dungeon?' Adrian thought in amazement but he also noticed the annoyance in Flora's tone.

"Flora it seems you are familiar with this Tower. Do you have something you want to get off your chest?"

Flora snorted but still responded.

"I could never get past the third floor and just remembering having to find the entrance to the Tower annoys me"

"Why would finding the entrance be bothersome?" asked Adryan curious as he remembered how Roselle had also complained about this.

"The entrance never stays in one place. It always moves around the world making it very difficult to find."

"How would you find something that is constantly moving around the world?" Adryan asked.

"First I have to explain how this works."

"There are only two ways to enter the Tower. By accident or if someone brings you"

"The first way is obvious, you just have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time"

"The second way is if someone brings you inside the Tower"

"Once you enter the Tower for the first time you will get a <compass>, it doesn't matter if you manage to complete the floor or not.

This <compass> will tell you where the next entrance is and when."

"I'll assume there's no chance you'll help me into the Tower right?" Adryan asked with a smile but Flora gave a short laugh.

"Take you to kill us? No thanks"

"For your little brain to understand I'll make it simple."

"The Tower adjusts the difficulty level according to the level of the Sequences of whoever enters."

"If the Sequence is too high it will be suppressed to match the difficulty level of the current floor. It is unknown how the Tower does it but even Angels are not safe."

"You should know that the difficulty of the first floor is equal to Sequence 7, so most of my abilities will be suppressed."

"I can only use Decipher to keep us alive"

"I refuse to trust my life in your hands in that situation"

Surprise filled Adryan and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

'Even angels aren't safe? What the fuck is that Tower?!'

'Whoever created that Tower had to have been a King of Angels at least!!'

Knowing that his mind might start to wander to things it shouldn't, Adryan closed his eyes and slipped back into the Cogitation state.

After a few moments, Adryan opened his eyes, his mind no longer wandering.

"I will forward this information to my Lord.

'He' will be the one who judges its level" Adryan said serenely and Flora didn't answer.

He grabbed one of the goatskin parchment he had and began to write down everything Flora told him in Hermes.

After doing that he prepared another ritual and sacrificed it to himself.

He stayed a few minutes in the City of Calamities to keep up appearances.

When he considered that enough time has passed, he return to his body.

"My Lord is satisfied with the information."

"Flora Jacob your sentence has been reduced 4 months by the grace of my Lord." Adryan said as if he were an Apostle revealing the revelations of his God to the people.

"Praise the mercy of your Lord" Flora said reverently and this brought a soft smile to Adryan's face.

"Praise 'His' mercy" Adryan said as he closed his eyes hiding their mischievous glint and maintaining his soft smile.

Cheating with a False God is the best!
