Chapter 1256 - 500: God of Food Set_3
"Are you collecting these towers because of the instructors’ commission inside them?"
Bref looked at Alka and asked.
Alka nodded: "Indeed, these towers are scattered all over the world, but I need to gather them together."
Upon hearing Alka’s answer, Bref nodded.
"Is it related to the return of the Divine?"
After all, those instructors could be regarded as Saints of the God of Trial or the God of Progress.
It’s only natural for these Saints to wish for their Divine’s resurrection or return.
Just like the Flower Children under the Flower Fairy’s leadership.
Such occurrences are common in the Endless Sea, and Alka was even involved in the Flower Fairy’s resurrection.
This reasoning is the most likely outcome deduced by the Church when gathering this information.
After all, the Tower of Trial is no great secret to the Church; they just haven’t specifically sought it out.
Alka shook his head.
If he didn’t know the reason, he might think the same way.
"The God of Trial... has no possibility of returning."
Although he doesn’t know why Alka said this, Bref nodded and chose to believe.
Only Divines who have left a fallback and were powerful before their demise have a chance at resurrection.
According to records, the God of Trial likely doesn’t belong to this category.
"If you want to collect these 12 towers, I must remind you that some towers have already been occupied by certain forces.
Collecting them... won’t be that easy." Bref briefly reminded.
Alka nodded, having already gained a general understanding from the information he reviewed earlier.
Many Tower of Trials are like the one they stayed at before.
Not occupied by any forces, but known to many, prompting them to send people for trials from time to time.
However, if a major force goes for occupation around such a tower, it’s entirely feasible.
It’s a foreseeable situation.
In fact, due to the capacity of the Tower of Trial, time passing by helped build a force centered around it.
In this situation, if Alka wants to take them away, he will undoubtedly face these forces.
Thinking this through, Alka suddenly thought of something and stared at Bref.
"Once the 12 towers are gathered, let me be clear, it will absolutely benefit the whole world.
Any force will gain unimaginable benefits from it."
Hearing Alka’s words, Bref looked at him.
"So... do you want us to help?"
Alka nodded.
Given the information from the guidebook, he already knows the general location of these 12 towers around the world.
Collecting them one by one and negotiating with the local forces would be quite troublesome.
Frankly, Alka doesn’t want to resolve tower collection through brute force.
If they take on the job entirely, counting in travel and negotiation, it might take over ten to twenty years to complete.
Let alone conflicts with these forces during the process.
The time spent, frankly, exceeds Alka’s expectations.
"I hope the Holy Mother Church, and even the Four Gods Church, will assist me in collecting the 12 towers.
As a concession, once collected, the placement will be decided by the Four Gods Church collectively."
Hearing this, Bref couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
"This is beyond my decision-making power, but I must remind you that the Four Gods Church cannot collide with local forces for any particular tower.
It would significantly impact the reputation of each church and tarnish the Four Gods’ esteem."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, having already expected it.
What he wants is the name of the Four Gods Church, not their oppression of others.
The Four Gods Church functions as leadership and coordination rather than as some significant military force.
Although military force is indeed the strongest in the world.
The reason why so many forces are willing to accept and trust the leadership of the Four Gods Church is mainly due to their restraint.
They don’t invade, force, or launch attacks without reason.
Every such action comes with a clear rationale, and the opposition could harm the world or a large spectrum.
The process and reasons are always public.
Simply put, the Four Gods Church is the justice in the Endless Sea that most people can agree with and trust.
"I only need the Four Gods Church to negotiate in the name of the church; many forces will likely concede.
After all, to avoid offending the church because of the ability of these Towers of Trial, right?
And if the church finds certain cases unlikely to concede, with a low chance of compliance, then I’ll personally undertake the collection," Alka said.
Though this still implies Alka is somewhat the enforcer.
Yet it’s far better than having the Four Gods do it.
Moreover, Alka’s name has already spread, and as a Treasure Hunting Team, sometimes using force to seize a Treasure in the Endless Sea is not uncommon.
It boils down to whose fists are stronger.
"Now I will tell you about the potential functions of the 12 towers once gathered.
I believe these functions are enough to make even the Four Gods, along with other forces, willing to assist."
Alka smiled and said.
Bref nodded, waiting for Alka’s explanation.
Upon hearing Alka detail the 12 towers’ functions, Bref’s eyes widened.
"This... this is simply incredible. If things are as you say, I believe every church will offer their support."
Alka nodded and replied: "I’ll wait for your good news."
Saying this, he took his leave, exiting the church.
Walking towards his quarters.
Thinking as he walked.
Lately, plans have surfaced in his mind, which he plans to combine to accomplish his goals.
Whether these plans and goals collide with the Holy Mother’s plans, Alka intends to return and pray to the Holy Mother, and meet face-to-face for discussion and coordination.
He believes his ideas might play a crucial role; it depends on the conversation with the Holy Mother.
The Holy Mother is unlikely to reject dialogue, and he hopes his ideas can be realized.
