Aaron didn't know how long he spent in the darkness, but he was just rolling around in the darkness. Fortunately, the activated soil was soft enough and it didn't cause much harm to him.

Eventually, he fell out of a crack somewhere, followed by Sartre, who also fell to the ground.

After falling to pieces, Aaron struggled to stand up, only to find that he was still in a passage in the sewer, but it seemed to be a small abandoned storage room, with all kinds of things piled up in a mess. Half-decayed wooden barrels and wooden boxes.

There was a half-broken chandelier hanging above his head. The candlelight was still weak, but it could at least provide him with light.

I don’t know which wealthy family actually threw a chandelier into the sewer?

Aaron suppressed his physical discomfort and thought drowsily.

"Damn Bars..." A hoarse voice came from not far away, and Aaron vaguely smelled a burning smell.

Subconsciously, he looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a figure standing quietly in the darkness.

It's Tog.

"Why are you arresting me?"

Although it was nonsense, Aaron had to bite the bullet and say it.

He heard an extremely subtle creaking sound coming from behind him. Even though Sartre did not explain it, he knew that Sartre was opening the spice box.

He had to buy time for Sartre, and he had to cover up his tinny voice by speaking.

"Baals broke the contract," Tog said angrily, "We clearly agreed!"

He seemed to be so angry that he even coughed loudly, and the sound of heavy breathing echoed here.

Although Tog avoided Baars' metal torrent, he still suffered part of the damage by being caught off guard.

At this time, only he knew that the lower half of his body had been severely burned. If he got closer, he could even smell the aroma of barbecue.

Of course, all this doesn't matter, he will be able to have a new body soon.

"What contract did you reach with Lord Bars?"

"Oh, if you want to know, I can tell you," Tog said disdainfully: "Baals killed Tien. In order to cover up this matter, he made a contract with me. He will let me complete the task of killing Tien." The hand chopping ceremony will also bring a group of extraordinary people to see me, and I only need to be responsible for Tien’s death.”

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched. Although he had vaguely guessed a little before this, he still felt a little incredible when Toge personally put such an exciting thing in front of him.

Good guy, he is indeed a scapegoat recognized by the whole people. He dares to take the blame to anyone who dares to give it.

As Bals said before, how could he, a dignified city lord and a noble from the Kingdom of Algrant, collude with the cultists?

If this matter spreads, then...

etc? !

We all know this...

Aaron was horrified, and seemed to be able to grasp the ins and outs of the whole incident.

Bars probably never thought that Tion's death would trigger an uncontrollable situation, right?

Because of Tion's death, the Iris family asked Alice and Ed to come to Leiden City to investigate the matter in person.

Sartre, the apprentice of the Star Tower who was passing by, was also inadvertently involved in this unexpected incident.

After the letter, which was a more symbolic request for help, was sent to the Star Tower, Bals did not expect that the white-robed Julian of the Star Tower would pay enough attention to this trivial matter and actually sent a person directly. Silver-level prophets investigate this matter!

No matter how you say it, Tien is only a bronze-level fortune teller, and has not even earned the title of prophet.

He entered the Tower of Stars three times to obtain the title, but was ruthlessly discouraged by the assessment each time.

For such a mediocre person to be killed by a cultist, it might be something worthy of attention for the Kingdom of Algrant.

But compared to an organization like the Tower of Stars, which is aloof from the three kingdoms, isn't this a small matter?

Before, Aaron thought that the Tower of Stars was indeed paying attention to Tien's death, but now that he thinks about it carefully, I'm afraid that the Tower of Stars' focus is not on this matter...

What made Star Tower pay attention to this matter?

Thinking of this, Aaron was thoughtful and forced himself not to turn around and glance at Sartre who was preparing for the ceremony, but he already had a judgment in his heart.

This second generation of the tower seems to be more important than he imagined...

"Mr. Sartre, I know you are stalling for time..." Unexpectedly, Tog said coldly, and his direct words made Aaron feel like he fell into the ice cave, "But why am I not the same?"

In the darkness beyond the candlelight, a few sporadic sounds sounded, as if a few mice were slowly approaching.

But Aaron knew it wasn't a rat at all, it was a creeping hand.

Tog knew from the beginning that Aaron was stalling for time and that Sartre was secretly preparing the ceremony, but he also needed time.

His creeping hands also need time to come.

And now, they've arrived.

"Mr. Sartre, I know you have a good teacher, so as long as you are willing to pretend that you cannot see what happens next, I can pretend that I cannot see you..." Toge softened his tone a little and said loudly, "You should know what does that mean."

Although he didn't get Tien's creeping hand, if he could sacrifice the rookie in front of him who had just entered the black iron level to the "creeping hand", then he would barely lose money.

At least he would survive until the next sacrifice.

This account will be settled with Bals!

After hearing these words, Aaron felt a chill in his heart, even though Sartre had protected him in every possible way before.

He can rely on his identity as the second generation of Tower Alice, or he can still protect him under Bals' explanation. Even facing Siosande, he can find a way to get Siosande to protect him.

But now?

Will Sartre stick to his choice in front of a Silver-level cultist?

Aaron didn't dare to think about it. He didn't dare to test human nature in the face of life and death, whether it was his own or others.

"No." Sartre's voice came from behind him, dry and hoarse, but revealing unquestionable determination.

"you sure?"

There was surprise in Tog's tone, and he couldn't help but ask again.

White-robed Julian's protection is as famous as the Star Tower's name.

Once upon a time, there was a gold-level cultist who accidentally killed a silver-level prophet and was hunted down by Julian himself.

At that time, Julian had just become the tower master, but he actually left the Tower of Stars alone and traveled across half of the continent to personally bring back the unlucky cultist from the other side of the continent!

The cultist was later placed at the top of the Tower of Stars, where he lived for another year under the light of the stars.

The wailing and screaming all day long are still fresh in the memory of everyone who came to the Star Tower to study during that time.

If Sartre is killed, God knows how many ways this protective Julian will find him and let him live a little longer!

Sartre had a good teacher, and Tog didn't dare to do anything.

Just because he is a creeping hand of faith does not mean that he has lost his reason and judgment.

Sartre was silent, but he no longer concealed the sound of the ceremony.

A thin voice came from behind Aaron.

This represents his answer.
