Son of the Olden Days

Sol was able to tell at a glance that he was on a certain level of the tower at the moment because of the sky outside the window.

This room is surrounded by masonry walls. There is only a wooden window frame on the front wall. There is no window lattice or crystal window surface, so the transparent vision can be seen far away at a glance.

Outside the window, there is a vast blue extending far away, occasionally dotted with some white clouds drifting by.

On the continent of Salvinia, the sky is invisible, or even if you look up, there is only a constant pitch-black sky.

People can only rely on the descriptions in those ancient books to imagine the once blue sky. This has led to Sol's personal interest in the scenery, but looking at the clear sky outside at the moment, he still has to sigh with emotion.

Near the window, as his field of vision widened, Thor thought he would see the horizon in the distance, but he didn't.

There is still only the boundless blue, and sometimes the gentle wind, pounces from outside the window frame and hits his face.

Sol didn't give up. He stepped on the blue-gray bricks and climbed onto the window sill, adjusting his sight to the maximum angle of view from the top. He originally thought that he would be able to see the land around the base of the tower, but he still had only blue in his eyes.

This made Saul a little shocked. He couldn't see the horizon. There were roughly two possibilities.

One is that the tower where he is located is so high that it is indescribably high, which violates architecture. The other is that the land supporting the foot of the tower may be just a small island, which is obscured by the visual difference caused by the height of the tower.

In the end, Sol gave up the idea of ​​building terrain in his head, which was clearly out of the scope of logic.

And even if he had racked his brains to figure out where the tower was, whether it was the magic tower beacon or some other tower, in the final analysis it would not be of any help to his journey of promotion.

In fact, think about it carefully, I came to this place after a deep sleep, maybe this is just my own absurd dream.

It was obviously daytime at this time, and the sufficient light made the environment within the entire tower layer clear at a glance.

Looking closer, you can see dry vines attached to the surface of the outer wall outside the window, and some have climbed near the window.

The whole environment is full of an ancient sense of desolation, as if no one has set foot here for hundreds of thousands of years.

The room I was in had only three walls in total. The left and right walls were at right angles behind him. The front wall was a large semi-arc, and there was a small window on the semi-arc wall.

Go back to the currently available path again.

At this moment, there are wooden stairs up and down in the room, and then there are old wooden doors on both sides of the wall. That is to say, if you want to start moving, you have four choices: up, down, left, and right.

Sol estimates that if he chooses a door from both sides and opens it in sequence with the same direction of advancement, he will probably eventually return to the original room after a round of the tower, provided that no weird changes occur in the terrain. .

Of course, everything is just speculation, and Sol began to take steps to verify.

The bare feet stepped on the ancient wooden floor, making a rotten crackling sound, which was amplified in the silence.

Sol first walked to the wooden door on the right wall. The whole wooden door was not high, with a square bottom dome, and there were no locks on the door, which was not much different from the wooden doors he had seen in reality.

The only interesting thing is that the door can be opened either outwards or inwards.

Continually opening the door in one direction and moving forward, Thor quickly made a circle around the tower.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that my judgment was basically correct.

There are a total of nine rooms in the entire tower, or nine rooms of different sizes by the ‘well’-shaped brick wall. The surrounding eight rooms form a circle, and there is another room in the center of the tower.

In terms of environment, except for the one in the center of the tower, each of the other eight rooms has a small window overlooking the distance. Some of these rooms have two wooden doors, some have three, and the center of the tower has four doors.

This should be a vertical maze built with the tower as the main body, and the way out should be in a certain direction between the top and bottom. As for the doors that can be opened on the surrounding walls, it is just to increase the complexity of the maze.

After reaching the conclusion, Thor was relieved, because the maze might be easier than he thought. The way out is nothing more than choosing between up and down, that is to say, if you choose a random direction, you have half the probability of going right.

The only worry is that once the wrong choice is made, it takes twice as long to correct the mistake.

For example, taking the tower where Sol is located as the starting point, suppose the exit of the labyrinth is on a certain level below, and the distance between the two levels is ten.

But if Saul chooses to go upward and after walking ten distances, he feels that he is wrong or wants to change direction, he must turn around and walk ten and ten to crack the mystery.

In other words, for every wrong step, you will end up with double punishment.

Recalling that when I was promoted to Tier 3, I spent more than a month in the underwater labyrinth.

Now, even if you choose the right direction to advance to Tier 4, the estimated time may take two to three months, even three months.

A better result, if you choose the right direction at a time, you can return to reality in three months. The worse result, if you go in the wrong direction, you will be able to return to reality after three months plus the double time to correct your mistakes for six months.

Of course, this is just my own optimistic estimate, maybe this maze is more complicated.

After having a rough guess, Thor no longer hesitated and began to climb the entire tower.

There is no specific reason for choosing the upward direction. Most people may choose, because the closer you are to the bottom of the tower, the psychological aspect may be easier. After all, people live on land. Although I yearn for the sky, it's still scary to climb to the sky.

Another reason is that Sol remembered the first vast maze of infinity. According to common sense, people might think that the exit of the maze is at the boundary of the maze, but in fact the last exit is in a certain area in the center of the maze.

If you are stubbornly looking for the boundary, maybe you are still stuck in the first maze and haven't come out today.

So Saul felt that these mazes might be out of common sense logic, and the exit of the tower might be in the sky.

Of course, it is also possible that all of Sol's speculations are meaningless, and everything is just coincidence. Anyway, in the final analysis, you always have to choose a direction. Since there is a half chance of success, then go up with your heart.

With the movement of footsteps and the silent passage of time, Thor gradually entered the state.

This so-called entering state does not mean that the mental state becomes better, but that the whole person is numb and forgets time.

In the first few days, Sol still enjoyed the quiet in his heart while moving upwards.

He can calm down and think about some questions about life and the future.

Later, I started to fear, what if I can't go out anymore, what if the whole tower suddenly collapses.

Later, the frenzy and irritability passed and returned to the original calm or numbness. The whole person is almost too lazy to think about anything, only going up, layer after layer, forgetting where he is and why he is climbing.

Something different from Saul's initial judgment is that he doesn't just go straight up.

He must walk through all nine rooms on each tower, first circle around the eight rooms, and finally open the middle one to take a look. He must make sure that the exit will not be hidden in one of these rooms.

In addition, we still encounter some troubles from time to time in the process of climbing. For example, we often encounter a certain door that cannot be opened, nor can we use force to break and knock it open, or suddenly find that the wooden stairs are broken when I want to go up.

So Saul could only go around, looking for the exit that might appear in the next moment, or that might never be found.

Time can no longer calculate how long has passed, maybe one or two months, maybe longer.

In order to slow down the speed at which his will was consumed, Saul had to begin to recall. Think back to anyone I met in my life, where he said what was said, and what he did.

So although others are climbing numbly, but the soul may be sitting on the tree in the new town, enjoying the night view with Kletty, or lying on the edge of a certain wall with Shuggs, peering at a certain The slim lines of a bathing nun.

Later, he couldn't think about it anymore, he could only fall back to the reality before him.

Count the number of steps on the wooden stairs of each tower and talk to get by.

Sol had imagined more than once, if only a monster suddenly appeared in a certain room. That way, you can kill him yourself, or just have a fight, and it's fine to talk a few more days.

However, it did not.

The tower of the sky seemed to have no end, it was so quiet and extended.

After crawling for a long time, Thor suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he found that he still wanted to be simple.

Since there is no end to the upward path, there will be no chance of correction at all.

Whenever you want to look back, the voice in your heart will tell you that it's not far away, and you will be up one level higher. And when you go one level higher, another voice will tell you that you are in the wrong direction, and one day you will have to return to the old place and pay a higher price.

This mental torture was only vague and minor at first. Then it was enlarged as time went by, and it began to be everywhere, gnawing at your nerves all the time.

In addition, there are unchanging scenery around, including the room, including the weather. From the window in the tower, it is always daytime, no night, only blue sky and white clouds.

And Saul's mood also changed from the initial appreciation, to later ignoring, and then to the present, as long as he sees the blue sky, he will be inexplicably grumpy.

It won’t be hungry, sleepy, or rested. This kind of silent attrition is obviously the most terrifying. People who are not strong enough in their hearts might have chosen to end in situ.

Sol suspected that he had climbed above the sky a long time ago. What is above the sky? There is no answer. This is very good. It is obviously lucky to be able to get a new question without answer, or it is lucky to be able to think.

I don't know what day it was. After counting the steps of the wooden stairs below his feet, Sol habitually moved to the right to open the wooden door on the wall, but he subconsciously raised his hand and felt empty.

It shouldn't be, the various spacings of each layer have long been familiar to myself, and I have never missed it. Why...

Suddenly raised his head.

Sol stood there and trembled suddenly, because he found himself in an aisle at the moment.
