Located in the east of the Secret Tower Federation, there is a small city called "Gray Tower City". Its name is naturally because there is a magic tower called "Gray Tower". At that time, a high-level mage named Ronald Hart built this magic tower. Later, with the magic tower as the center, the residents slowly gathered and finally formed the city.

A city full of the characteristics of the Secret Tower of the Federation, with a similar origin to many other cities.

But it is also a little different. For example, the Hart family, the most prominent in this city, believes in neither the great Lord of Mysteries nor the human gods, but a slightly remote god - the God of Scholars.

The God of Scholars is the God of the Mystery, weak and other divine power. He does not have many believers, and the most important one is probably the City of Gray Tower led by the Hart family. In the past four hundred years, with the construction of the Hart family and the people who believe in the God of Scholars gathered here from all directions on the mainland, this city has gradually become a place similar to a holy city in the Church of Scholars.

Of course, a mere 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 either has gods inhabited, has a high historical status, or has a pure faith. The former example is the holy city of the Void Mask Church, the latter example is the "Supreme Tower", the capital of the Secret Tower Federation, and the last... many cities are like this, such as the former City of Garce and later Rem.

Although the Hart family has been working hard to build the city of Gray Towers as the holy city of the Church of the God of Scholars, at least we know that at present - or until more than a month ago, this effort has not yet been successful.

Then, it will never be possible to succeed again.

Because the God of Scholars fell in the war between the mysterious gods and the human gods.

The fall of a god is of course a shocking event. Although there are not only one god of scholars who fell in that war, and the god of scholars is not the most powerful god who fell in that war, for the people of Gray Tower City, especially for the people of the Hart family, it really feels that the sky is about to collapse!

How is it possible! Why did the great scholar God actually die?! He is so kind, so kind, so uncontested!

But no matter how surprised and angry they are, the fall of the God of Scholars is 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 magic circle, and brought a group of priests to hold ceremonies in the magic circle every day, hoping to get enough faith for the fallen God of Scholars and resurrect again through their prayers and wishes.

In theory, this is completely possible. Even if a god falls, as long as he has enough faith and some suitable opportunities, he can indeed be resurrected. In history, more than one god has been resurrected after his death, staged a living "return of the king".

But theory is just a theory after all. After all, there are so many gods falling, how many are resurrected?

At least, the people in Gray Tower City prayed for a long time, but they could not see any sign of resurrection of the scholar god.

In this case, they became more and more nervous and didn't know what to do.

Then, the church of the noble gods and the church of the knowledge gods came to preach.

The two churches have different attitudes and different doctrines, but one thing is the same... They both claim that the God of Scholars has completely fallen and there is no possibility of resurrection, and ask people to give up their belief in the God of Scholars that has lost meaning and turn to their arms.

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

It’s fine for ordinary residents, the Hart family is quite powerful, and the patriarch is even more advanced mage who controls a magic tower. After learning about it, he was furious and roared: “Who said that my lord cannot be resurrected! You tart dogs! Vultures!”

Then he led the wizard group and the city defense force to clear out the two churches. He drove them out who were still in stable positions and declared that they were unpopular in Gray Tower City, and prohibited them from entering the sphere of influence of Gray Tower City again.

This matter is small, not big. For the residents of Gray Tower City today, there is nothing big about it except trying to resurrect the God of Scholars...

Days pass by day, but the scholar God shows no sign of resurrection.

On that day, a junior from the Hart family was praying in the square.

"Master Irving, Master Irving!" An old voice interrupted his prayer. It was the old housekeeper who had been taking care of him since childhood.

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

The old housekeeper's expression was a little complicated, some nervous, some uneasy, some relief and relaxation. Seeing Owen Hart come out, he smiled and said, "The master told you to go home."

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

Not only that, many people from the Hart family are not here.

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

He was a little confused, but he said nothing. He followed the old housekeeper and left the square and returned to the magic tower.

As soon as he stepped into the magic tower, he was stunned again and felt keenly that the atmosphere was not right.

The Gray Tower is different from the ordinary magic tower. It is not only a magic tower, but also a holy object that condenses a large amount of sacred power. It is a treasure that is almost equivalent to a divine weapon of the Church of the Scholar God. Walking in this magic tower, you can not only feel the magic power that is everywhere, but also feel the warmth and kindness of the scholar God who is full of tranquility and distant temperament.

However, since the fall of the Scholar God, the divine power that permeates the tower has dissipated. This makes many people who have long been accustomed to this environment very uncomfortable, and they always feel empty and uncomfortable in their bodies.

Irving is one of them.

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

From the beginning of his birth, he grew up feeling the divine power of the scholar God and had long been accustomed to this power. Therefore, although he is not a particularly devout believer, he still prays seriously every day, hoping to help the scholar God resurrect and restore his past life.

And today, he once again felt the divine power of the scholar's god in the magic tower!

"His Majesty... has he been resurrected?" he asked in surprise and joy.

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

They soon arrived at the top of the Magic Tower, the Prayer Hall.

However, in the prayer hall, what Irving saw was not the resurrection of the scholar god, but a plausible figure.
