21. Climb to the top
We embarked on a journey to find the path to Soul Calling Pearl.
Although it was a bit unexpected, it was a blessing for Zhuang Mingge. If the wind elves who had the help of a far higher ability than ordinary elves, the possibility of obtaining the Soul-Calling Pearl suddenly increased a lot.
As a free wind spirit, no one knows the situation above the 99th floor of the Tower of Babel better than this lady named Goer. Zhuang Mingge feels very lucky.
"Ah~ It's great that you are willing to help me. Thank you very much for your help."
Zhuang Mingge also patted his chest and said that in the next battle, he would sacrifice his life to protect the wind and water elves.
So, everyone set out.
According to the explanation of the water spirit Sisi, the reason why the 99th floor of the Heavenly Ladder prevents people from reaching the top was entirely because the 100th floor was actually not another place, but the palace of His Majesty the Emperor.
Ordinary people are not qualified to meet His Majesty the Emperor, so they use trigger magic on every step of the Ladder of the Heaven to prevent others from breaking through.
If you want to go up, you must have the order from His Majesty the Emperor.
"So we're looking for other ways to reach the top."
Just when Zhuang Mingge was depressed, the wind spirit Goer said something that surprised her.
“Other ways to reach the top?”
"That's right, the emperor's palace does not allow ordinary people to break into it. Let's just skip the emperor's palace and go to the next level." Goer said confidently.
Although she said so, Zhuang Mingge still had some doubts.
Regarding this, Feng Elf Goer was quite angry and snorted coldly that he was not paying attention to Zhuang Mingge. Water Elf Sisi had to comfort Feng Elf and ran over to explain to Zhuang Mingge.
"Gol is very good, don't underestimate her. Although she has a bad personality and likes to tease people, she is indeed a real elf."
Oh oh oh. Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but scream in such a panic.
Just like the classification of demons, elves must also be divided into lower, middle, upper, big elves, and elves. Each elves will have different changes.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a world-changing one.
It was the first time that Zhuang Mingge saw the superior elves. He couldn't help but look at the other person a few more times. He didn't notice any difference with other elves. It was probably the first time he saw the superior elves.
Zhuang Mingge thought so.
Having said that, if a superior wind elf helps him, the chance of getting the Soul-Calling Pearl is indeed several times higher. Offending the elves who help him is not a wise thing, Zhuang Mingge quickly apologized.
Of course, if adults don’t remember the mistakes of villains, and if you don’t know Mount Tai, these words should be quite fresh for the elves. Although some of them are still not clear, the other party finally forgave Zhuang Mingge.
"Well, this time, I will forgive you for your sincerity. But there will be no next time."
Zhuang Mingge nodded and promised, swearing to the sky.
"Very good." Wind Elf Goer nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are many mechanisms in the Tower of Babel. Because it is the emperor's palace above, a random door is specially established on this floor. Connect it. As long as you find any door, we can skip the emperor's palace and arrive at the next floor."
"I see."
Zhuang Mingge suddenly realized that he guessed that the place where any door must be hidden would be very secret, so no one discovered it until now, but soon he realized that his thoughts were too superficial.
"It's here!"
Under the leadership of the wind spirit Goer, after walking for half an hour, Zhuang Mingge avoided countless monsters along the way. After arriving at the destination, the other party pointed to an inverted triangle building for himself.
Zhuang Mingge is embarrassed...
"This is..."
"Ha? Are you idiot? Didn't you just say it, any door."
This is it?
Zhuang Mingge's mouth twitched. No matter how you look at it, it wasn't an arbitrary door. There are three inverted triangular buildings on the 99th floor. One of them is a treasure house, which is the so-called Imperial Third Military Control Commission.
Of course, the other two should be similar things. But I didn’t expect that they were any door...
Is this really a scam? If so, it would be scamming my father to death.
No matter what, since Feng Yin said that this is any gate, it should be correct, but...
"How should this be used?"
"Of course it was activated with magic. Are you idiot?"
Zhuang Mingge stared at Feng Yin Ling Goer's expressionless face, and the corners of his mouth twitched here, wanting to complain but not knowing where to start.
Sighing, he was about to use his magic to activate the inverted triangular building.
"Wait a minute." The wind spirit suddenly stopped him.
"Is there anything?"
"Do you know how to activate it?" Before Zhuang Mingge could retort, the wind spirit Goer pointed to the sharp vertex at the bottom of the inverted triangle, "It's where, input your magic power in, and then recite the corresponding spell, and this arbitrary gate will be activated."
Zhuang Mingge couldn't help frowning, "I don't know the corresponding spell."
"I've thought of this a long time ago. I've seen several steps to open any door. I'm very clear about the spell. There's nothing left to you."
"Thanks."
"But I have a condition."
It sounds like he is taking advantage of others' danger, but Zhuang Mingge does not have such a feeling. There is no free lunch in the world. The other party is doing his best to help him and put forward a request. It is reasonable.
So Zhuang Mingge promised, "As long as I can accomplish it, I will do my best."
With the advancement of the Tower of Babel, it was completely unavailable here with the current magic. Zhuang Mingge, who died all the way, knew very well that without the help of the Wind Elf, he would not have reached the top.
So Zhuang Mingge is very grateful to this wind elf.
Even if she is not interested in her, she is very rude, but it doesn't matter. Zhuang Mingge is a person who is grateful for his kindness, so when Feng Yinling said that he has the conditions, he agreed without hesitation.
“You are a little different from the humans I know.”
Perhaps Zhuang Mingge's approach satisfied Feng Yin, and she was not so harsh next time, "I will teach you how to open this arbitrary door first." She said.
The method to open any door is actually very simple, and the most difficult part is the spell.
It took Zhuang Mingge more than ten minutes to remember a few short spells. It was too confusing. Once he pronounced a wrong pronunciation, he could not open the arbitrary door. Therefore, Zhuang Mingge studied very carefully and only started trying to open the arbitrary door until there was no problem.
During the attempt, Zhuang Mingge failed once, but the second time was successful.
The huge building with the inverted triangle began to shake. The moment Zhuang Mingge landed, he saw the huge building suddenly disintegrated, neatly split into more than a thousand huge stone bricks, rumbling on the ground, forming a huge semicircular stone arch.
The wide stone gate can allow an army to advance, with a blue light curtain in the center, which is completely different from any door that can only allow one person to pass through. It should be any military-type door.
No wonder it's so huge.
Zhuang Mingge had an idea in his mind, and the wind spirit flew from behind him to the Yimen Gate, and said to Zhuang Mingge dissatisfiedly, "What are you still standing there? Come in quickly."
"Ah, oh, here, here!"
Zhuang Mingge took a step and rushed into any door.
The scenery behind any door was completely different from what Zhuang Mingge imagined. I originally thought it was like the ninety-ninth floor, with various scenery, but what appeared in front of Zhuang Mingge was... desolate.
Yes, it is very desolate, very desolate, and it is also desolate except desolate.
There is nothing, no mountains, no rivers, no jungles, no ice and snow, no mazes, no buildings, no monsters, no...life.
Is this the Tower of Babel?
Zhuang Mingge was shocked and looked up. The false sky had collapsed, with shocking cracks everywhere. The stairs that reached the sky broke in the middle, and a huge hole above it.
"What's going on?" Zhuang Mingge murmured.
"I can't even think of this? It's a war. Don't forget what the Tower of Babel does?" Feng Yin said in a sad tone.
Zhuang Mingge suddenly remembered that the Tower of Babel is the Tower of Heaven. Legend has it that once it is built, it will break through the gate of heaven and enter the Tower of Heaven. It is the ambition of human beings on earth, trying to allow everyone in the empire to enter the Tower of Heaven.
The Lord said that those who believe in me will live forever, those who are good will enter heaven, and those who are evil will go to hell.
The ultimate goal of the Tower of Babel is only one, whether it is the evil, the good, the brave, the mediocre, the powerful, the warrior, or the king, everyone can enter heaven and live forever.
Therefore, God could not tolerate human greed, so he sent angels to destroy the Tower of Heaven, cut off human ambitions, punished the Babylonian Empire, and allowed this ancient civilization to disappear into the long river of history.
As a battlefield for humans and angels, the Tower of Babel completely destroyed this place by a grand war.
The high priest died in battle, and the soul-calling bead was lost.
The ladder of the sky was broken, but with the help of the wind spirit, Zhuang Mingge went upwards, crossing layers after layer, each layer was very desolate. The war completely destroyed the place, and you can still see the prosperity at that time.
But unfortunately, life withered, mechanisms destroyed, buildings destroyed, and turned into a desolate land.
Zhuang Mingge felt that the ninety-nine floor could still be preserved, which was so lucky.
After spending a day rushing, Zhuang Mingge finally arrived at the top of the tower.
No, it should not be considered the top of the tower, it can only be said to be the top layer, because the blue sky above it seems to be connecting another dimension, and Zhuang Mingge vaguely seemed to see a magnificent golden gate.
But if you look carefully, you will find nothing.
Under this real blue sky, Zhuang Mingge discovered a huge square, with white corpses and various armors everywhere in the center of the square.
These were obviously all army that died in battle. No remains of the angel were found during this period.
Perhaps the difference in combat power between the two sides is too huge.
