The Guardian looked at Darius and made sure of his sincerity before saying

  This information is the only reason you took these precautions, and no one did or did you find out anything before the assassination was carried out, right

  I swear by this, your honor, everything I knew was just a notification warning me of the danger of the trip, nothing more or less. Darius said

  The Guardian leaned on the back of the chair and began to think about what he was going to do and said in a faint voice that Darius could not hear

  Did you notice anything strange while he was talking, Bolton

  No, your honor, his tone was completely serious . A low voice answered him, which only the Guardian would not hear

  The Guardian raised his head and said

  This explains a lot, before you came, all those involved in the incident were questioned and all of them denied knowing you before this meeting, as well as telling you about the assassination attempt

  So did you ask me to come, your honor, just to check on me. Darius said with a surprised look

  Not so, but I'm giving you a reward for your sacrifice to save my granddaughter. The Guardian said that and clapped his hands some short time the gate opened and the Butler entered and was holding in his hand something wrapped in a black cloth

  Master Darius, this sword is called the edge of the moon, a famous blacksmith from the Royal region made it and presented it to the former regent in appreciation of saving one of his sons.I hope you will accept this modest gift. The Butler said Dales removed the piece of cloth and put a hilted sword engraved with red and purple stripes and covered with a black scabbard

  This time it was a much bigger surprise than the last time Darius said

  Please excuse me, but I can't take this precious gift, I don't deserve it

  Do you refuse, boy, a gift offered to you by The Guardian of the harulgan family. The Guardian said his words in a threatening tone

  After Darius found himself in a situation with no way out, he was forced to accept the gift and said

  Your Excellency, I still have some questions, please answer them if you will

  What are these questions, you see. The Guardian said and looked towards Darius

  Ms. Yellin has told me that you have announced the presentation of this award only four times in your long history, and that was before there was a major war or a catastrophe threatening the union, is your sovereignty right. Darius said and there was an expectant look in his eyes

  I understand what you're aiming for, boy, I can tell you some details, take it as advice no more, now listen carefully

  There is a strange movement of the forces of the graphene Empire at the eastern borders, in addition to reports that the alert status of the thirteenth fleet is being raised, ready to fight the war, and all this is happening near the Sagar-07 system, which is a major Center for the supply of stellar fuel to ships

  This has not happened for seventy years, which suggests the intention of the Empire to seize the system, even if it means entering an open war, and the harulgan family is responsible for securing that system by virtue of its pledge to the ancestor of the void Orion, he must prepare the younger generation ready to fight the battle

  Do you understand now why I announced the award, boy. Mr. Kodak said and put a blue card in front of Darius

  Is this an entrance card to the mysterious tower. Darius took the card and is in disbelief from what he sees

  This card allows you to enter the tower five times and for no more than one week at a time before losing its validity, consider it a small roll that may be used to increase your experience. Mr. Kodak said

  A short while later Darius left the Regent's Palace, holding in his right hand the blade of the moon sharpener and boarded a boat with which he flew towards the city

  The Guardian was watching the boat as it turned away and turned to look at both Bolton and Dales, who were surprised by his sudden generosity in giving him a pass to the mysterious tower and said:

  I understand what you are thinking, but I saw something special in this boy's eyes, who knows, the day may come when we need to ask him for help, that's why I wanted to connect him with us from the very beginning

  On the way back, Darius finally felt at peace, relaxed his whole body and said

  'I felt like I was being psychologically tortured by The Guardian's aura. it's really scary.'

  This trip was really fruitful, he got a new weapon and an entrance card to the mysterious tower, which is almost impossible for him to get by official methods

  Inside Darius ' consciousness, Pyrrhus was watching what was going on before he turned to Dayun and said

  What do you think the trustee is trying to earn by offering us this valuable reward

  Dayun was silent and thought about it for a while before saying

  Maybe he wants to include us in his family if Darius manages to achieve an achievement during practical training next year and add another qualification to his family

  Suddenly Darius remembered something and said

  Who is the black sergeant, Pyrrhus

  Pyrrhus looked at Dayun, who was smiling, and said

  Someone you will get to know in the near future

  And would you agree to this. Pyrrhus asked

  If that helps us, why not. Daewon answered, turned to Pyrrhus and continued

  Have you completed the alternative nervous system we will need to use soon

  Elsewhere in the city

  There was a person practicing in his yard before his body began to tremble violently and fall to his knees on the ground trembling after that there was a Weak Aura flowing from his body before his body looked like a hungry monster and absorbed energy at an insane speed from his surroundings

  After a while the speed of energy absorption subsided and the person kneeling on his knees regained his strength and began to get up slowly from the floor after that he waved his fist several times and his movement accelerated with each wave until his fist became unclear because of its rapid movement, then he stopped and said

  Finally, I got my spin system back. it's really refreshing. I need to get my strength back as fast as I can

  Congratulations to you, Mr. Eugene. Hayden said

  Thanks. Eugene said

  After that Eugene started another training run using his legs until he reached the extreme

  Before he stopped and remembered something he said

  Hayden, what do you think about Darius, don't you think he's a little weird

  I haven't noticed anything strange, don't forget that you make some changes to some events, the more you retreat, the more these effects begin to appear clearly, maybe this is one of the changes that I experienced because of you

  Eugene was silent for a while before saying

  Maybe I'm starting to go crazy because of the otherworldly horrors

  After these events calm returned to Darius's life and continued his daily routine in this vein for several weeks until the time came for another breakthrough

  Darius was condensing the energy in the crystalline body before releasing it, targeting the valves of the stellar nodes that spread in his four limbs, torso and head after several hours, he lay on the ground panting, feeling a clear change in the amount and intensity of his energy before saying

  I reached the second level in the world of parity in a month and one week, this is amazing, I think I'm ready to use this thing now

  Take out Darius with a blue card from his pocket and touch it with his fingers

  Two days later

  In the grassy foothill area south of the city there was a huge tower looming on the horizon and extending in diameter for several tens of miles and consisting of several rings interconnected with each other and at the bottom of this tower stood a young man and said

  This is really something unbelievable how the mysterious civilization that was ruling this system managed to build it

  It is a pity that this method is still unknown, otherwise humanity would have reached other Heights in the method of harnessing stellar energy

  After that, Darius walked to the front gate, and he had barely taken several steps until he felt a cold aura descending on him from above, so he raised his head to see who he was, but to his surprise, he found no one, moments later the aura disappeared as quickly as it appeared

  There was only one explanation for what happened, and Darius thought and said

  To think that the harolgan family has assigned a fighter from the world of orbit or higher to guard the mysterious tower really shows how important it is

  Darius arrived at the reception Department and found the employee responsible for registering adventurers when entering the tower, he extended the card towards him and said

  Excuse me, Can you give me a pass to the second level of the first floor

  The employee took the card from Darius and scanned it seconds later he returned it to him with the entry permit and said

  Take the right lane and go to the third gate from the right and enter the permit and it will open for you

  Darius walked to the right lane and entered his pass into the third gate before the gate started to move and opened wide after that Darius stepped inside

  In the city, Eugene was practicing to raise his level until the sun reached the middle of the sky, then he stopped his training and walked inside the House, took a can of juice from the fridge, sat down on the sofa and opened the screen to see if there was anything interesting on display now

  After browsing for several minutes and when he was about to turn off the screen, a report about the mysterious tower appeared and the announcer began talking about the history of its discovery and how it is considered one of the most important surviving traces of civilization that existed and went on to list a lot of details Eugene was not very interested in the report

  Hayden do you remember that incident inside the tower at this time

  Yes, it will be a terrible accident and will leave a large number of victims in a short period of time. Hayden said and continued

  I remember that it was a strange monster and no one could deal with it until the tower supervisor, Mr. medren, a fighter with the orbital world, paid attention to this matter and dealt with the monster himself, however, he got some wounds during the fight, imagine only if he was a little late and the Monster managed to escape from the tower what would have happened

  Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Eugene said

  The copycat nightmare. Hayden said
