Chapter 321 Observer
Deborah followed the knights of the Third Army to the Eastern Territory. Facing the black cloud in the distance, Deborah quickly had the researchers at the tower analyze it.
"Director, the calculation results for the Holy Grail are in."
A researcher handed Deborah a report filled with charts and graphs.
Looking at the changes in the magical environment around the Eastern Territory in the report, it is clear that someone in the Eastern Territory used super-level magic. Not only that, this super-level magic seems to have undergone some kind of qualitative change, and it has now become even more troublesome.
But this wasn't what gave Deborah the biggest headache. What truly troubled her was the ocean of consciousness that the tower had been monitoring, because this transcendental magic had been corrupted in some way.
While the tower cannot solve the problem of the magical environment in reality, it can deal with the individuals who create it. However, when it comes to the ocean of consciousness, one must be extremely cautious.
So after receiving the investigation report, Deborah did not hesitate and quickly returned to the tower to report all her findings.
There have been many speculations about the tower, with some believing that it is an abstract concept or that it is actually a very tall mountain. But a tower is a tower, literally a tower that is so tall that it almost reaches the sky. However, due to some special reasons, ordinary people cannot observe this tower at all. By the time you can observe this tower, it is already within the tower's control range.
"In other words, Director Deborah, do you believe that this phenomenon was caused by the demons adding the flesh and blood of Outer Gods during their use of super-level magic, thus triggering some phenomena that had never been observed before?"
In the silver-gray themed room, an elven woman whose age was impossible to discern was intently staring at a tablet in her hands, confirming something with Deborah.
The elven woman's attire was not ornate, but rather a very simple and plain white robe. Rather than a white robe, it was more like a white overcoat, which looked quite capable, except that the overcoat had some embellishments that conformed to the style of this world.
"Yes, sir. According to the observations, around the time that the super-level magic was activated in the Cape East, there was a violent turmoil in the sea of consciousness. I don't think this is a coincidence."
After comparing the data, the elven woman asked, "Then, were the other gods in the ocean of consciousness affected?"
"It seems there isn't one yet, but my lord, my suggestion is to start verifying the gods born in the ocean of consciousness. However, the amount of calculation is too enormous. Verifying all of them would take decades or even hundreds of years. Even verifying only the gods of a few mainstream beliefs would not be completed in the short term, unless we can send someone to connect to the ocean of consciousness and go there to investigate directly."
Before Deborah could finish speaking, the elf in front of her interrupted, "Director Deborah, regardless of how much computing power is needed to enter the ocean of consciousness, we are merely observers and do not have the authority to enter the ocean of collective unconsciousness. Moreover, if even the slightest accident occurs in the ocean of consciousness, it will be a devastating blow to the entire world."
The elven woman shook her head and said, "This is far too dangerous. Let's first verify the contract god of our tower and ensure that it is functioning properly before we investigate the other gods. The tower is the last line of defense for the human race, and we must ensure that the tower itself will not be damaged. This is the most conservative strategy given by the Holy Grail."
The God of Contracts can be considered the foundation of the Tower's existence, as he bears the important responsibility of preventing the Tower's secret knowledge from being leaked. Even a small amount of the knowledge the Tower possesses would have a huge impact on the world if it were to spill out.
"At the same time, warn the secular kings and monarchs, drive away those who promote super-level magic, and use force if necessary."
“Tell those guys from the other side that if they don’t behave, the Tower won’t hesitate to kick them out again.”
After Deborah finished taking notes, she asked, "And what about the demons..."
Deborah looked somewhat worried, after all, this incident was caused by the demons, and its impact on the ocean of consciousness was something that had never been observed before.
"Since it has already affected the ocean of consciousness, we must take action. We should issue warnings while sending people to eliminate it, and control this race to the point where they cannot access super-level magic. We must also contain the demon god who is suspected to be an outer god's skeleton. This race has never given us any peace of mind from beginning to end."
The elven woman sat wearily on the chair behind her. The tower had always faithfully fulfilled its duty as an observer. This role had given the tower much knowledge beyond its time, but it had also brought it many constraints.
“My lord, there is one more thing. I suspect that the governor of the North in Capet has already mastered some secrets of this world, and it is also possible that he, like the old empire, has made some kind of pact with the goddess.”
"His attitude was really strange. He didn't seem interested in the fact that the Holy Grail could reveal the future, but he did react to the principles of the Holy Grail. Moreover, he was more curious than surprised. Even this curiosity was not because he was hearing about the technology for the first time, but more like he was curious about why we had this technology."
"Not only that, although the Governor of the North is deliberately concealing it and even forbidding us from entering or leaving those obelisks, the speed of their technological development is obviously abnormal, as if they had already planned their development path in mind."
Hearing Deborah say this, the weary elven woman didn't even lift her eyelids, but asked, "Oh? Is it the same as the old empire? After the old empire came into contact with the goddess, its technology also made a leap forward, and in some areas, including research on the soul and the ocean of consciousness, it even surpassed us."
The weary elven woman sighed and lamented, "I thought we could finally relinquish our heavy responsibility as observers, at least the old empire could share some of the burden with us. It's such a pity. If foreign enemies invade, we can still lend a hand, but when the empire is in turmoil, we, as observers, have no right to interfere."
"No, that governor gave me a different feeling than the emperors of the old empire, although I've never actually met them..."
"I'm sorry, sir, I can't quite put my finger on that feeling. I can only say that the technological development in the Cape North is not as extreme as that of the old empire."
After listening to Deborah, the weary elven woman finally sat up straight. But after careful consideration, she said, "Director Deborah, remember, once the Tower gets involved in politics, countless others will follow suit, trying to drag us into a certain camp. So we cannot be anyone's ally."
