Chapter: 122

Hans quickly turned his gaze away from Cale.

�It is only natural for a great butler to inform their master about things that the master does not know.�

Hans started to speak about the ancient times.

�I do not know why this city fell out of the grace of a god. However, that is apparently when some of the people in this city started to gather together to build rock towers. It seemed to have been an act of worship to reach out to the god that had abandoned them.�

�Did it work?�

Hans sternly responded to Cale�s question.

�No.�

The god did not listen to them.

�Apparently, none of the prayers went through. That is why the present day Puzzle City does not have a single temple.�

�There�s no reason for me to worship a god who has abandoned me. Is that it?�

�Ding ding ding! Our young master truly is smart and does not need to study at all.�

��You want to get punched?�

Hans turned away from Cale to look at a far away mountain and continued to speak.

�Ahem. Anyways, they have rock towers instead of temples. The rock towers represent a promise that the people made after all of that. It was a promise between the people, as well as a promise with themselves.�

�What kind of promise?�

Hans started to explain an odd rule that was followed in Puzzle City.

�A human who has had their wish granted will destroy their rock tower.�

Cale started to smile.

�What an interesting city.�

�Isn�t it? Since they were abandoned by their god, they needed to achieve everything with their own strength. The act of destroying their rock tower represents, �overcoming the odds.�

Cale liked the act of destroying the rock tower very much. He then recalled the numerous rock towers in front of the houses.

�The rock towers are not created to seek help from a god.�

�Right. It is more of a representation of their own determination.�

This kind of rock tower held a lot of importance, even if you never got to destroy it. JrNovels.com
