Chapter 1274 - Communication Resumes (2/2)

Veronica was struck dumb.

“Ahem.” Hao Ren could not bear to hear the strange conversation at this time and interrupted. “Is this about the final affairs? Didn’t we agree that you will let me first take a look at the situation of the Sunscorch Tower? I am a priest at least. It wouldn’t be late to discuss the succession affairs only if I fail to find a solution.”

Loen, who had been standing silently behind the king, stepped forward. He looked at Hao Ren without any expression and nodded slightly. “The Guardian is right. The Sunscorch Tower is a Sanctum technology; perhaps the Sanctumese have a way to rejuvenate the system of the tower without using blood.”

Rudolph III took a deep breath. “If this is the case, Guardian, please.”

The king did not sound optimistic, but there was still a glimmer of hopefulness in his eyes.

Indeed, Veronica was the only one left in the Kingdom of Taros to reignite the flames, but the descendants of other kingdoms on the continent had lost all their power. If this situation carried on, the Kingdom of Taros would become the last sanctuary in the Chaos, but it was not a future that the people in the sanctuary would look forward to. The forces of Chaos would have all its strength to focus on this kingdom, and for the kingdom, any struggles were only futile effort to delay the inevitable. So however slightest the chances, Rudolph III still hoped to reactivate the Sunscorch Tower of every Kingdom of Order. It was not only for the continuation of the existence of the world but also for the sake of his kingdom.

Now when all contact with Sanctum was lost, Hao Ren had become the only hope.

Under the hopeful eyes of everyone, Hao Ren came under the huge crystal. He bent over and carefully observed the pool with a strange liquid.

The fluid was neither water nor blood.

The flames above the liquid were not normal fire either—it did not feel hot.

“May I put my hand inside?” He looked up and asked the king. “I have washed my hands.”

The king was startled by the guardian’s crude method. But after thinking for a while, there was indeed no such taboo in dealing with the Sunscorch Tower, the king nodded. “Yes, you may. But be careful, the liquid may look ordinary, but it contains a lot of energy. Most people could not have contact with it for too long.”

Hao Ren nodded. He then carefully dipped his finger into the silver-white liquid.

As soon as his finger came into contact with the liquid, he suddenly felt a power surge in his mind.

The feeling was brief, so short that it was as if an illusion. But still, Hao Ren was able to capture the slight moment of changes in his mind, and he knew it was not an illusion.

At that short moment, he felt that he had established a brief communication with the outside world.

He pulled his hand out of the liquid. The silvery white fluid on his fingertip gradually disappeared as if it was evaporating. The feeling of the previous spiritual connection was lingering.

Hao Ren’s brows knit together. This time, he was prepared. Concentrating his mind, Hao Ren dipped his finger back into the liquid again.

“The Petrachelys is calling the captain. Please answer if you hear this. I repeat. The Petrachelys is calling the captain. Please answer if you hear this…”

Nolan’s voice echoed in Hao Ren’s mind.

Hao Ren could not believe what he heard. After so long, it transpired that this Sunscorch Tower could function as a wifi adapter.
