Chapter 331 Human
Almost everyone inside the tower was silent, and everyone knew what Anastasia's words meant.
"What about the non-staff members?"
Someone started talking about something else, and Anastasia replied, "Let them leave while the tower's protective function is still functioning. Otherwise, these people will be affected by the black rain curtain and the situation may get worse."
Anastasia let out a long sigh. Once the tower was closed, these non-staff professionals would lose their restraints and would most likely cause huge chaos.
But it is impossible to imprison all these professionals inside the tower.
At this moment, the emotionless synthesized sound became urgent and resounded throughout the entire tower. Some places flashed dazzling red lights, as if warning that the tower was about to be closed.
"This rain curtain is just like what we have studied. Some information that relies on magic is difficult to transmit. But now, the situation of the tower must be made known to the outside world."
After saying that, Anastasia pointed out several younger professionals, who would convey the news to the outside world.
Of course, these people are also the ones who inherited the knowledge of the tower.
The other members of the tower looked at these professionals with complicated eyes, and it was hard to tell whether it was envy or some other emotion.
These people will no longer be bound by the God of Contract and can directly intervene in the secular world.
Anastasia was actually very hesitant, because the situation on this continent was now in quite a mess. Not to mention the countless small countries, the kings of Anjou and Capet were also at war. The conditions proposed by the Tower before were actually hoping that the two countries could temporarily cease fire and deal with the matter of super-level magic first.
Although it seems that the tower is more inclined towards Capet, that is mainly because Capet was directly affected by the super-level magic. Anjou not only took the opportunity to annex part of Capet's territory, but also dug up some things from the old empire.
Anastasia still thought that Anjou was still occupying Capet's territory, and had no idea that Capet had already recovered the territory at lightning speed and was planning to push it back. So when she asked Lind to pass the message to Alberto, it seemed that she was standing on Capet's side and making comments.
Although according to Deborah, Capet's steel creations were very strong, Anastasia did not have an intuitive understanding of this. On the contrary, in the eyes of outsiders, Capet had not only just experienced a civil strife and a coup, but the Governor of the North had directly sidelined the king and liquidated a large number of nobles in the royal capital.
Not only that, the East Territory was also directly hit by a mutated super-level magic and was subsequently occupied by the demons, not to mention that it was still at war with Anjou.
Apart from his good relationship with the elves, Capet can be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
In this situation, the governor of Capet not only promised the Tower that he would not use super-level magic until the last moment, but also actively established contact with the Tower. No matter what, his attitude was much better than that of Anjou, who was just pretending to be submissive.
So from Anastasia's perspective, Cape was more like a poor white lotus who had just promised the Tower that he would not use super-level magic, but was hit by super-level magic and had to go through a coup d'état before finally stabilizing the situation.
When everyone started to prepare, Anastasia called over those who were responsible for conveying messages to the outside world.
"The return of Eryx is probably just a prelude to war. After that, we may not be able to interfere in the situation on the continent for a while, and those non-staff professionals may make the entire continent even more chaotic."
"So while you are passing on the news to the outside world, you must also try your best to get the two kingdoms of Capet and Anjou to start cooperation. Even if it is not possible, you must work together to fight against the incoming dragons and the counterattack of the Avar Kingdom."
Afterwards, Anastasia left the person in charge who was about to go to Cape alone and said, "The situation in Cape must be stabilized. Tell Deborah who is staying in Cape that if the governor has further intentions, we can provide some support."
It is obvious that the demons have now completely sided with the dragons and the Avar Kingdom on the other side. In this case, if Capet's regime continues to jump back and forth, the worst result will be that Capet, which is caught in civil strife, will be divided up by the demons, the Avar Kingdom, and even Anjou, and the entire continent will fall into chaos again.
After a slight hesitation, Anastasia handed a tablet to the person in charge who was about to go to Cape: "Although the Holy Grail may not be able to connect to the equipment in the tower, the Holy Grail itself is still useful. If the governor can't hold on, let Director Deborah hand the Holy Grail to the governor. Cape can't fall yet."
After arranging everything, Anastasia sent away those who left with the fire, and then the floors of the tower began to slowly close.
On the level where Anastasia led the tower members, there were many human-sized containers filled with liquid.
"Please remember that we do not have the authority to enter the Ocean of Consciousness, so in the Ocean of Consciousness's program, we are also invaders. Therefore, we must be more careful and not be deleted by the Ocean of Consciousness's protection program while purifying the pollution."
At this moment, Eryx's voice rang out around the crowd: "Why do you have to stay? Who will remember your sacrifice? Who will care about you? This tower is about to become your tomb, but as high-level professionals, what can stop you? That old antique elf? Just take one step outside and you can step out of this tomb!"
Anastasia then noticed that the rotting and corroded pieces of flesh on Eryx's body had become a part of him. Not only did these pieces of flesh crawl on the outside of the tower which had not yet been closed, they could even grow mouths and speak for Eryx.
Eryx has turned into a monster. Although it cannot enter the tower due to the protective function, its several big mouths are like the devil of the abyss, and it begins to seduce the people in the tower.
"You are high-level professionals. No matter where you go, even the king will come out to meet you. Why do you have to be buried with this old antique elf? As long as you take a step forward, you can enjoy power, wealth, and everything in this world!"
The rotten flesh of Eryx could not corrode the tower, but the sound seemed to come not from outside the tower, but from everyone's heart. Perhaps this was just a collective auditory hallucination produced by everyone present, or perhaps Eryx had already connected to everyone's consciousness through the black rain curtain and the huge phantom that appeared above the rain curtain.
When hearing this voice, many people hesitated. Just as Eryx said, everyone present, as long as they go outside, can almost stand directly at the pinnacle of this world with their status as high-level professionals and the knowledge of the tower.
Next to the cold container, on one side is the fear that surges like a tide and from which you may never wake up again, and on the other side is the temptation that you can stand at the pinnacle of the world just by taking one step.
At this time, Anastasia looked at the crowd around her. The composition of the tower was very interesting. Most of them were humans with a small number of elves, and there were almost no other races.
"I will open the closed systems on each floor of the tower for the last time. If you want to leave, take this last opportunity to leave."
After Anastasia opened the closed system, the outside of the tower was filled with pieces of Eryx's flesh, but these pieces of flesh did not seem to have any intention of entering the tower or attacking these professionals.
And many people quietly retreated after seeing the closed system open.
"Hahahaha, that's really ugly, Anna. Without restraint, you people in the tower are just a bunch of mortals who are afraid of death!"
Several pieces of meat and several big mouths laughed at the tired elf in the black rain curtain, but Anastasia was the first to lie down in the container, and the lid of the container slowly began to close.
"Eryx, there have been many deserters in human history. It is normal for humans to be afraid, terrified, and desperate."
As Anastasia began to chat with the Eryx that were scattered all over the ground, those who were still in the tower seemed to have gathered up their courage and stepped into the containers one after another.
"But the world has never lacked people who stand up to change the world."
As more and more people step into the container, the tower's closed system is activated again, and the tower is about to be isolated from the world.
"Whether it's fear, terror, despair, or unity and resistance, these are human beings. In the best times, there will be a dark side among human beings, but in the darkest times, there are still believers of hope among human beings."
“Humans are very complex creatures.”
As if sensing that more and more people were entering the container, the pieces of Eryx said irritably: "Anna! Don't forget that you are an elf! You are not a human at all! You will never become a human!"
As the tower was about to be completely sealed, Anastasia turned her head to take one last look at the piece of flesh of Eryx and said, "No, I have always been human. We have always been."
