Chapter 684: Chapter 17: Lost Tower, Library of the Lost World

Not long ago, while interpreting knowledge fragments with Gulwige, Gulwige suddenly told Lynch that he had applied for a spot in the Lost Tower for him and told him to prepare.

Lynch didn’t know what the Lost Tower was, nor had he heard of it before. However, judging from Gulwige’s tone, it seemed this valuable spot required the Truth Wizard to apply personally.

What exactly was it… even the Truth Wizard had to apply personally.

Lynch couldn’t help but feel curious.

Upon hearing Lynch’s inquiry, Kong’s eyes lit up: “Does this mean the rumors are true? Did Lord Gulwige really apply for a spot in the Lost Tower for you?”

Lynch nodded. Seeing Kong’s strong reaction, he was even more convinced of the place’s extraordinary nature: “The spot is real. But I know nothing about it. What is it exactly?”

Kong took a deep breath, seeming to calm her excitement before explaining: “The full name of the Lost Tower is actually ’Library of the Lost World’… But how should I say it…”

She organized her thoughts, “It is not an ordinary tower, nor is it a library as we commonly understand. It is a place where the rules are extraordinarily special, or you could say, twisted by special rules.”

“Special rules?” Lynch asked further.

“Yes,” Kong’s expression turned serious, “There exists a peculiar law there. Wizards can search for ’knowledge fragments’ within, and these fragments will be forcibly… yes, forcibly imprinted into your Spiritual Sea through that twisted Rule Power.”

She paused, looking into Lynch’s eyes, and said in the most straightforward way: “Simply put, there you can directly ’acquire’ knowledge, instead of learning and comprehending.”

Upon hearing this, Lynch’s pupils slightly contracted, and his long-composed expression finally broke, raising his eyebrows incredulously: “No need to learn? No need to comprehend? You can directly… obtain knowledge?!”

This completely overturned his understanding of the path to the knowledge for a wizard.

“Yes, precisely that amazing, or perhaps… defying nature,” Kong affirmed with a nod and then shook her head, “The exact principle, I fear no one can fully explain, as it already touches upon the rule-level, perhaps even a… more transcendent rule level that we cannot comprehend. There’s a vague rumor it might be related to some peculiar rule that transcends the world’s conventional laws.”

Lynch was deeply shocked; if this were true, the value of the Lost Tower would be immeasurable.

Kong went on to explain in detail: “The inside of the Lost Tower is divided into many levels, from bottom to top. The level of knowledge fragments you can find on each floor differs and is directly related to how deep you can go in the tower.” She paused intentionally, her tone becoming heavy, “And you must know, the Lost Tower contains… Domain Level knowledge fragments.”

Lynch’s heart skipped a beat as an incredible thought flashed through his mind, his eyes suddenly brightening, with a hint of unconcealed urgency in his voice: “You mean…”

“That’s right!” Kong’s eyes also shimmered with the same fervent glow, “There, it’s possible to directly acquire Domain Level Knowledge Law! Although what is obtained are mostly fragmented, not complete inheritances, their value…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Lynch already fully understood.

The preciousness of Domain Level Knowledge Law he had experienced fully during these years of cultivation. It is truly a step to heaven, each advance as hard as ascending to the sky!

Even though he possessed a system defying nature that could solidify each comprehension and skill level increase, ensuring every effort would yield returns, each step forward was still a long and arduous “mortar work”.

He could imagine that for those wizards without system assistance, who solely relied on their perception to explore, the path to Knowledge Law would be utterly desperate and long, with a bottleneck trapping them for decades or even centuries being common.

And this “Lost Tower” could bypass this process and directly “acquire” knowledge?

This single point in itself was worthy of being called “defying nature”!

Kong continued, “Since Lord Gulwige has told you to get ready, you should prepare quickly during this period.”

She paused for a moment, then said seriously: “Although the Lost Tower can provide knowledge, it is not a quiet library. On the contrary, it’s quite a dangerous place. To obtain knowledge, you need to fight for it with your own strength.”

…

Meanwhile, in the Land of Freedom, deep in the Tower of Order.

Cyrus appeared at the end of a secret stairway leading underground. The lighting here was dim, the air cold and stagnant, filled with the scent of ancient stone and some powerful preservative magic potion. The walls were engraved with twisted, seemingly constantly writhing shadowy runes, emitting unsettling energy waves.

He pushed open a heavy door made entirely of polished obsidian, stepping into a spacious yet unusually dark underground palace.

In the center of the underground palace, the only source of light came from a few clusters of cold flames burning faintly in crystal basins, emitting a ghastly green glow. The light barely illuminated a figure sitting back to the door on a gigantic bone throne.

The figure was shrouded in a broad dark purple robe embroidered with writhing tentacles and unnamable symbols, showing only a slightly hunched outline and sharp, bird-claw-like fingers resting on the throne’s armrests. An indescribable, mingling of extreme ancientness and a certain spiritual distortion pressure permeated the entire underground palace.

Cyrus took a deep breath, gathered all his external anger and arrogance, quickly stepped forward, and stopped about ten meters behind the throne, bowing with extreme respect, his voice carrying a faint hint of tension:

“Teacher.”

The figure on the throne seemed to move slightly, and a dry, hoarse voice, like two rough grinding stones rubbing against each other, slowly sounded, resounding directly in Cyrus’s sea of consciousness: “Hmm…”

After a pause, the voice sounded again: “Our implanted informers report that Fran has recently increased their excavation efforts in various underground cities regardless of cost, especially those ruins containing ancient space knowledge. The resources invested far exceed any past academic research projects.”

Cyrus raised his head, showing a trace of confusion, not understanding why his teacher had suddenly mentioned this.

“Moreover,” the hoarse voice continued, carrying a hint of inquiry, “energy fluctuations fed back through some special channels indicate that the Space Law activity in the core area of Fran has been unusually increasing of late. They seem to have made some critical, perhaps even breakthrough progress in the Space Domain.”

Upon hearing this, Cyrus’s face was instantly filled with astonishment: “How is this possible?! The Space Law is elusive and profound, especially those lost Arcadia knowledge, shattered beyond any systematic deciphering! How could they…”

“Under normal circumstances, naturally impossible.” The figure on the throne interrupted, voice carrying a cold insight, “But what if… they have found some method that can effectively interpret, or even ’repair’ those ancient fragmented knowledge?”

This guess sent a shiver through Cyrus. If true, it meant that Fran’s knowledge accumulation in the Space Domain would enter an era of explosive growth, with far-reaching impacts beyond estimation!

Just then, the hoarse voice shifted like a snake stealthily probing: “I heard you mention in previous reports… the young man that Fran went to the lengths of using the Council rules to forcibly take away and protect… seems to have started excavating the underground city a long time ago?”
