Although the belief in the Gate Tower has been spread in the Old Continent a long time ago, for a long time, other churches did not recognize the existence of the Gate Tower, because the Gate Tower Church’s classics contain references to the Gate Tower.

The description of the tower is beyond ordinary people's understanding.

As the name suggests, the Gate Tower is a tower. No one knows how high the tower is, and no one knows how big the tower is. They just know that there are countless doors in the tower, and these doors can lead to any place. These places

Not only can you go to real places, you can even go to dreams, and even more exaggeratedly, you can also go to the residences of other gods.

This statement completely puts the God of the Gate Tower above all gods. Naturally, all churches will not recognize the existence of such a god or place as the Gate Tower.

However, with the emergence of the thief Wood, even if those churches still deny the existence of the Gate Tower, in the hearts of the people at the bottom, the Gate Tower is a real god. The tower with countless doors does exist and can

arrive.

Thief Wood was a slave in a remote kingdom in the Old World. The slaves there only had numbers but no names. The name of Thief Wood came from the writer of the article that first reported on him. That person was called Wood.

There is not a lot of information about the thief Wood in the world. Except for the fact that his origin as a slave can be determined, most of the other information comes from folklore that cannot be confirmed.

In the legend, the thief Wood accidentally entered the Gate Tower when he was a slave, and got a key in the Gate Tower. With this key, he can open a door to anywhere. With the ability of the key,

He escaped from the slave camp and began his legendary life.

No one knows how many things the thief Wood stole, and no one knows how many treasures fell into the hands of the thief Wood. People just know that at that time, not only nearly 80% of the secular kingdoms in the Old World were looking for him, but also all the churches.

To arrest him, they even sent out terrifying people like the Inquisition.

However, even if people all over the world arrest him, and even use the power of the gods, they are still unable to catch him. He is always able to mysteriously escape from various sieges and traps in a place of death that is considered impossible to escape.

However, although the thief Wood escaped capture, he could not escape the hearts of the people. In the end, he was betrayed by his most trusted lover during a leisure trip that he thought was just a vacation. He was completely naked without any preparation.

They fell into traps carefully laid out by several big churches.

Knowing that he could not escape again, he knew exactly what would happen if he was caught by the church, so he took the poison that had been prepared long ago. When the church people found him, he was already a corpse.

Although the thief Wood is dead, his legend has not disappeared because his body is still there, and some churches have the ability to find out his secrets from his body.

For example, the churches that quickly obtained the body of the thief Wood found several treasure troves of the thief Wood. No one knew at the time how many treasures there were in those treasure troves, but later the diaries written by the clergy who participated in the treasure hunt were leaked.

came out, and the most common words on it were "This is a treasure house that even the gods covet." This shows that there are so many treasures in it that even the senior clergy at the time couldn't help but write such blasphemous words.

This is only one of Thief Wood's treasure houses. There are more Thief Wood's treasure houses that have not been found. Many people are still looking for Thief Wood's treasure house. There is even a speculation that Thief Wood passed through the door.

The power of the Tower came to the New World, and he hid most of his treasures in the New World, so no matter how he searched in the Old World, it was impossible to find those treasures.

However, unlike the common people who focus on the treasure of Thief Wood, the church not only pays attention to the treasure of Thief Wood, but also pays more attention to the secret of the door tower on Wood, especially the weapon that can lead to the door.

Key to the tower.

According to the records left by the clergy who participated in that year, several people who mastered the highest divine skills in the churches at that time joined forces to look for the Gate Tower through the body of the thief Wood. They all saw the Gate Tower, but were blocked by the Gate Tower.

The Tower of the Gate was expelled, and afterwards they only remembered a towering tower and nothing else. However, this also confirmed that the Tower of the Gate was real, and the Church of the Gate Tower also became recognized.

True God Church.

When those churches continued to dig out the secrets of the thief Wood and gained huge benefits, other churches and secular kingdoms were not willing to just watch those churches take everything, so they jointly attacked those churches

They launched an attack and demanded that the body of the thief Wood be shared. Naturally, the churches did not agree, and conflicts arose between the two parties.

However, just when the conflict between the two sides reached its peak, news came that the body of the thief Wood was missing. Naturally, no one believed this news. Everyone only thought that the churches were lying. Therefore, the conflict not only did not subside, but became even more serious.

It got big, and eventually a war broke out.

The result is very simple. The churches that obtained the body of the thief Wood were naturally unable to resist the joint efforts of other churches and secular kingdoms in the Old World. The holy places were breached, the churches were destroyed, and there were even rumors that the gods of these churches had fallen, and only some priests were

The personnel escaped.

Previously, the treasures found through the body of the thief Wood naturally fell into the hands of the coalition forces of the church and the kingdom. However, the most critical body of the thief Wood was not found. Later investigation found that the claims of those churches were correct at the time. The body of the thief Wood was not found.

The body is indeed missing.

After that, there were different opinions about the whereabouts of the body of Thief Wood. Some said that the body of Thief Wood was taken away by the remaining clergy of the destroyed churches. Others said that the body had actually fallen into the first few churches that broke into the church.

It was in the hands of the forces in the Holy Land, but they deliberately hid it.

However, the most mentioned of all the rumors is that the Gate Tower Church stole the body of the thief Wood, because after the war caused by the body of the thief Wood, the Gate Tower Church publicly claimed that the thief Wood

Wood is a saint of the church, and he is called Saint Wood, and some high-ranking clergy hold sacred objects made from the relics of the thief Wood.

The Gate Tower Church also became more secretive after that. Although other churches were often able to capture the believers and clergy of the Gate Tower Church, they were never able to capture its core members. The Gate Tower Church also seemed to avoid the Old World Church.

surrounded and actively participated in the great migration to the New World.

In the New World, although things like searching for Thief Wood's treasure and the keys to the Gate Tower are not as enthusiastic as in the Old World, there are still many churches and the country has set up special departments to handle related matters.

There is a similar department in the Outer Federation, which is under the Ministry of Education. When something strange happened to the manor villa in Leo's hands, they also sent people to investigate. The final result of the investigation is unknown.

, I just know that the Ot Federation does not seem to take this matter seriously, otherwise this manor would not have fallen into Leo's hands. Of course, Bachelor Longenus must have played some role in it.

Because, while Leo and Sylvia were studying this manor villa, Longanus' people in Josh County rushed over and took Longanus's letters and some of the information Longanus had investigated in the past.

It was handed over to two people.

Judging from the content of the letter, Longenus had been curious about this manor villa more than 20 years ago. Initially, he was because of the strange things that happened in the villa, but when he came to the villa and saw the hanging hanging in the study

After seeing the shield on the fireplace, his focus shifted to the Belmont family crest on the shield.

With Longenus' knowledge, he quickly discovered the secret hidden in the badge like Sylvia, and judged who the badge belonged to, and like them, he also used the manor itself as a clue to find the world.

The Belmont family.

Longenus has much more resources and time than Leo and Sylvia currently have, so the depth of his investigation naturally far exceeds the information collected by the fifteen boxes of stewards, and even some from the Ministry of Education.

He can also find investigation information that is not publicly available.

During the investigation, he discovered that the owner of the manor who donated half of the manor to the Gate Tower Church to build a church was not the original owner of the villa. Through various collected information, he judged that this villa appeared very early.

, may have arrived early or even before the Great Migration to the New World, which means that this villa, like the ancient ruins he discovered, is a product of the native civilization of the New World before the Great Migration.

The first recorded owner of this villa was named Ross Schneider. This name appears in textbooks in almost all countries in the New World. He is considered one of the greatest adventurers in the New World. The first species encyclopedia in the New World is

From his hand.

According to Longenus' investigation, when Ross Schneider acquired this villa, he did not think that the villa was a product of New World civilization, but that it was a secluded residence built by a powerful man from the Old World who lived in seclusion.

It was abandoned, so he renovated the villa, lived there for a while, and then sold the villa to his friend.

After that, the villa continued to be transferred to different people. Basically, everyone who got the villa would only live in the villa for a few years before changing hands. What's interesting is that no matter who got the villa in the end,

, which country they come from, which religion they believe in, and which customs they have, they will not make any modifications to this villa, they will only renovate it. In other words, the style of this villa has changed from the first occupant that year.

From the beginning, it has not changed until now.

In addition, Longenus investigated and found that the reason why the Gate Tower Church set up a church here was because they felt that there was the aura of God in the villa, and they also performed some religious rituals in the villa at that time.

The strange things that happened in the villa occurred not after the church of the Gate Tower Church was destroyed, but after the servants' room in the southwest corner of the villa was renovated. At that time, the renovation staff wanted to transform the servants' room here into a bathroom, and planned to turn the mountain spring into a bathroom.

Water was diverted here, so a window in the servant's room was demolished and a water reservoir was dug next to it.

After the renovation was completed, strange things happened in the villa that day. The investigators of the Ministry of Education at the time also discovered this, so they restored all the places that had been renovated, but the result still did not prevent the strange things from happening.

Longenus was not able to investigate the cause of the strange things, nor did he find anything related to religion, mysticism or other supernatural powers inside and outside the villa. However, during the investigation process, he had two outstanding

A student also lost his life due to an accident, which also made him feel very sad. Although it was not a heartache, he always remembered it.

When Longonus discovered that Leo and Sylvia had also come to this world, he had the idea of ​​​​letting Leo investigate this villa, so he secretly took charge of this matter. Leo

During that time, he was able to learn about Mount Troubo and its mysterious power that promotes rapid plant growth from other people's mouths because of Longenus. He believed that Leo would definitely be curious about Mount Troubo and the Black Mountain.

Due to the relationship with the forest, in this case, Leo would definitely go back to Mount Trub, and he would just transfer the villa to Leo.

What happened after that was indeed as he expected. Leo became interested in Troubo Mountain and obtained a property in Troubo Mountain through trading, and Longenus happened to insert the villa into the traded property.

middle.

"It seems that we were all tricked by that old guy!" After reading Longenus' letter, Sylvia looked unhappy and couldn't help cursing.

However, Leo didn't have any idea. He was more suspicious of Longanus' intentions for this villa. He asked the angry Sylvia: "What do you think, Longanus?

Or is Old Rembrandt the kind of person who would be brooding over the deaths of several students?"

"Of course it's impossible. Many of his students died when he was in Velen, and I didn't see him feeling sad at all." Sylvia gave the answer without hesitation, and also thought of what Leo discovered.

With a doubt, he said: "You are saying that the reason why Longnus has been paying attention to this place for many years is actually because of other reasons."

"There is also information that the cause of the accident here was because the house was renovated, but if you look carefully, the rituals performed by the Gate Tower in the villa should be the source," Leo analyzed carefully and said, "And the villa

Over the years, it has passed through so many people, but the main architectural style has not changed at all, which is also questionable."

Sylvia pondered for a moment and said: "Do you think it is possible that the key to the Gate Tower in the hands of the legendary thief Wood is in this villa?"
