The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 145 Lani’s Divine Grant Tower (Additional update for the leader [Foxes do not eat the plow])

The reason why Lani's followers care so much about the Upside Down Statue is simple. It is the indispensable key to Lani's Grant Tower.

Although this Divine Grant Tower has long been abandoned, Lani's discarded body is still there.

Since her death concealed certain secrets, and clues could easily be found from the corpse, and because it was a treasonous sin to fight against the Two Fingers and the Supreme Will, the road to the Divine Grant Tower was hidden, and a study was built outside. Cover your eyes and ears.

And Miriam is the caretaker of the study.

With this 'own man' guiding the way, Li Ang quickly arrived at his destination.

The front half of the study looks like a church, with a carpet in the middle and benches on both sides, but there is no statue of any god, only a giant astrology.

Li Ang, who pretended not to understand, placed the upside-down statue on the square stone platform in front of the astrology device under Miriam's guidance.

The next second, the planetarium began to rotate on its own, as if some mechanism had been turned on.

The sound of rattling gears sounded, and the entire study trembled. The chandelier above kept shaking, making a harsh sound.

"Don't worry, it's normal." Miriam comforted.

Although Li Ang was not worried, he still politely said thank you.

After a few minutes, the world returned to calm.

"Let's go." Miriam asked him to walk back.

Without the use of an inverted image, the back half of the study would have been a circular library, but now it is completely turned upside down, with the roof below and the floor above.

(In fact, it is not the study that is upside down, but the player himself)

Because only in this way will the gate of the Divine Grant Tower appear.

Li Ang originally thought that he had to find the right path through the complex terrain like in the game, but Miriam told him that there was a simpler route, commonly known as the employee passage.

And because he was leading the way, other guards along the way would not attack him, and would even greet him warmly.

This made Li Ang a little flattered.

The last time I came here, I didn't get such good treatment.

Arriving at the bottom of the study, stepping on the arc-shaped roof, and pushing open the upside-down door, a long stone corridor appeared in front of Li Ang. At the end of the corridor was the towering Divine Grant Tower.

Probably because it was too close to the clouds. It rained here all year round, and there was a lot of water on the grass-covered ground.

"Lady Lani didn't invite me, so I won't accompany you on the next journey."

Miriam stood at the door and said humorously.

"What a pity." Li Ang expressed regret: "Then we will see you later, Professor."

Miriam smiled and said, "See you later."

"By the way, this Divine Grant Tower has Lady Lani's terrible past. I hope you won't deny her future after reading it."

The female mage said it very implicitly, but Li Ang could understand its meaning.

Lani never hides her past, let alone regrets what she has done in the past. If you want to stay with her forever, you must learn to accept this.

Simply put, it is a test.

If the test passes, Lani will officially accept Li Ang. If she fails, or cannot accept her past, there will be no need for the two to contact her from now on.

As for the Dark Moon Ring, it is just a ring.

After thinking about it, Li Ang stepped onto the corridor, observing his surroundings vigilantly as he walked. He remembered that there should be an enemy here.

As a result, I didn't see anything coming out until I finished the whole journey.

I don’t know if it’s because Miriam has been watching him from behind.

Taking the elevator up, it was clear that it was still raining just now, but the circular platform at the top of the tower was filled with sunshine.And in the center of the platform, a body as black as a lump of coal lay quietly.

The texture is like a stone, and the ravine-like scars on the back are as deep as the bones.

Fragments of clothing were scattered around the body. Although it was burnt black, it could still be seen that it was expensive silk cloth.

There are golden jewelry on the neck and wrists, with exquisite patterns and inlaid with precious stones.

Only a few strands of long red hair remain, telling of her heroic bloodline.

This is the body abandoned by Lani.

Since it was his first time to climb the Divine Grant Tower, Li Ang walked around first and found it empty, and finally came to the stone corpse.

I reached out and poked it. It was cold and hard, not as good as a puppet.

Can't take advantage of the heat
While he was thinking wildly, suddenly, half a gray-white halo appeared on the stone corpse.

Many branches stick out from the edge, like scars or centipedes.

The Centipede Wounded Ring, like those born out of luck, does not belong to the original Elden Ring, but benefits from chance.

According to the provisions of the Golden Law: there is no such thing as death for gods, demigods, and nobles.

Only civilians will live, grow old, sick, and die. After death, their souls return to the golden tree and are reincarnated.

As a demigod and one of the gods, Lani had to die once if she wanted to escape the control of the Golden Law, so she stole part of the power that could kill gods - the death of destiny.

But killing yourself is not enough. If you want to avoid Two Fingers' pursuit, you must divert its attention.

In the end, Lani set her sights on the highly respected Crown Prince Godwin.

She divided the [Death of Destiny] she got into two parts, one part was used to assassinate Godwin, and the other part was used to kill herself.

The plan went very smoothly. On a gloomy and cold winter night, Godwin was assassinated and died. The golden dynasty was instantly in chaos. Lani herself also managed to escape and get a chance to breathe.

It was the death of two people who did not deserve to die that gave rise to the Great Rune, which represents the law of death.

However, this big rune does not grant death. Its actual effect is to make up for the death-related bugs in the Golden Law.

Use it to repair the Ring of Elden. From then on, all living things in the border area will die, including gods and demigods, which is one of the endings of the game: The Age of the Hidden.

Because everyone is going to die, they have to hide.

But for Li Ang, this thing is really useless and has no use. It is a pity to lose it. After all, it is a big rune.

The only option is to put it away first and figure out how to deal with it later.

In addition to the centipede wound ring on the stone corpse, there is also a talisman called [Legend of the Stargazer Girl], which tells the story of the mother-in-law Lenara's pursuit of the stars. It can increase intelligence and be stored away.

There's not much left.

After sitting with Lani's body for a while, Li Ang planned to leave.

He wasn't really a pervert, so there was no way he could do anything to a petrified corpse.

Before leaving, Li Ang dug a hole in the mud at the center of the tower and buried the stone corpse in it. Regardless of real death or fake death, it is always better to be buried in the ground.

"Help you again, don't forget."

Patting the dust on his hands, he turned and left the Divine Grant Tower.

Returning to the study door, I found Miriam still waiting there.

Looking at the darkening sky, Li Ang suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have told him to go back before dark, otherwise his third leg would be broken.
