Banner of the Evil God

Located in the eastern part of the Mystic Tower Federation, there is a small city called "Gray Tower City". The reason why it got its name is naturally because there is a magic tower called "Gray Tower" in the city. Back then, a high-level wizard named Ronald Hart built this magic tower. Later, with this magic tower as the center, residents gradually gathered and eventually formed this city.

A city full of the characteristics of the Mystic Tower Federation has a similar origin to many other cities.

But there are also some differences. For example, the Hart family, which has the most prominent status in this city, believes in neither the great Lord of Mysteries nor the gods of mankind, but a slightly more obscure god - the God of Scholars.

The God of Scholars is a subordinate god of the Lord of Mysteries, with weak divine power. There are not many believers in him, and the most important one is probably the Gray Tower City led by the Hart family. In the past four hundred years, with the construction of the Hart family and the gathering of people who believe in the God of Scholars from all over the continent, this city has gradually become a place similar to the Holy City of the Church of the God of Scholars.

Of course, a city where less than half of the residents believe in a certain god is not qualified to be called a holy city. The so-called holy city is either inhabited by gods, or has a high historical status, or has pure faith. The former example is the holy city "Void City" of the Void Mask Church, and the latter example is the capital "Supreme Tower" of the Mystic Tower Federation. As for the last one... many cities are like this, such as the former Gars City and the later Rem City.

Although the Hart family has been working hard to build and want to make Gray Tower City a holy city of the Scholar God Church, at least until now - or until more than a month ago, this effort has not been successful.

Then, it will never be successful again.

Because the Scholar God fell in the war between the Mystic God System and the Human God System.

The fall of a god is of course a world-shaking event. Although the God of Scholars was not the only god who died in that war, and the God of Scholars was not the most powerful god who died in that war, the people of Gray Tower City, especially the people of the Hart family, felt like the sky was falling!

How could it be possible! Why did the great God of Scholars fall? ! He was so kind, so benevolent, and so indifferent to the world!

But no matter how surprised and angry they were, the fall of the God of Scholars was still an indisputable fact.

Despite this, the people of Gray Tower City did not give up their faith in the God of Scholars. They still prayed every day. The members of the Hart family even built the square in front of the magic tower into a large-scale sacrificial array, and held ceremonies in the array every day with a group of clergy, hoping that through their prayers and wishes, the fallen God of Scholars would get enough faith and be resurrected again.

Theoretically, this is entirely possible. Even if the gods fall, as long as there is enough faith and some suitable opportunities, they can indeed be resurrected. In history, more than one god has been resurrected after falling, performing a vivid "return of the king".

But theory is only theory after all. There are so many fallen gods, how many of them are resurrected?

At least, the people of Gray Tower City prayed for a long time, but they did not see any signs of the God of Scholars resurrecting.

In this situation, they became more and more nervous and uneasy, not knowing what to do.

Then, the Church of the God of Nobility and the Church of the God of Knowledge came to preach.

The attitudes and doctrines of these two churches are different, but there is one thing in common... They both claim that the God of Scholars has completely fallen and there is no possibility of resurrection, and they want people to give up the belief in the God of Scholars, which has lost its meaning, and turn to their arms.

This statement may not be wrong, but it is a bit hateful.

Ordinary residents are fine, but the Hart family is quite powerful, and the patriarch is a high-level wizard who controls a magic tower. After learning about it, he became furious and roared: "Who said that my Lord cannot be resurrected! You bearded dogs! Vultures!"

Then, he led the mage group and the city defense army to wipe out the two churches. They were driven out as they were still not firmly established, and they were declared unwelcome in Gray Tower City and forbidden to enter the sphere of influence of Gray Tower City again.

This matter is not small, nor is it big. For the current residents of Gray Tower City, there is nothing big to do except trying to revive the God of Scholars...

Days passed one by one, but there was no sign of the God of Scholars reviving.

On this day, a younger generation of the Hart family was praying in the square.

"Master Owen, Master Owen!" An old voice interrupted his prayer. It was the old butler who had taken care of him since childhood.

"What's wrong?" Owen Hart first saluted respectfully to the statue of the God of Scholars, as if the aura on the statue had not dissipated, and then stood up, walked outside the sacrificial magic circle, and asked in confusion.

The old butler's expression was a bit complicated, with some tension, some uneasiness, and some relief and relaxation. Seeing Owen Hart coming out, he smiled and said, "The master wants you to go home."

Owen was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that his grandfather and father, who used to spend more than ten hours praying here every day, were not there.

Not only that, many people in the Hart family were not there.

(It's so strange, where did everyone go?)

He was a little confused, but he didn't say anything. He followed the old butler to leave the square and return to the magic tower.

As soon as he stepped into the magic tower, he was slightly stunned again, and keenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

The Gray Tower is different from ordinary magic towers. It is not only a magic tower, but also a sacred object that condenses a lot of sacred power. It is a treasure of the Church of the God of Scholars that is almost equivalent to a divine artifact. Walking in this magic tower, you can not only feel the magic power everywhere, but also feel the warmth and kindness, and the power of the God of Scholars, which is full of tranquility and distant temperament.

However, since the fall of the God of Scholars, the divine power permeating the tower has dissipated. This makes many people who have long been accustomed to this environment very uncomfortable, always feeling empty in their hearts and uncomfortable in their bodies.

Owen is one of them.

He is not a very devout believer, but believing in the God of Scholars has become a part of his life, a habit, and engraved in his soul.

Since he was born, he has grown up feeling the power of the God of Scholars and has long been accustomed to this power. So although he is not a particularly devout believer, he still prays seriously every day, hoping to help the God of Scholars revive and restore his past life.

Today, he once again felt the power of the God of Scholars in the Magic Tower!

"Your Majesty... is he resurrected?" He was surprised and happy, and asked in a lost voice.

The old housekeeper's expression was a bit complicated. He said nothing, but just led him forward silently.

They soon came to the top floor of the Magic Tower, the prayer hall.

However, in the prayer hall, Owen saw not the resurrection of the God of Scholars, but a figure that seemed to be true.

"Hello, young son of God." The figure smiled and said, "I am the successor of the God of Scholars, the God of Knowledge and Culture, Woer."
