BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243: 10 Years of My Life?
James smiled genuinely when he heard the word \'uncle\' and then followed her out of the room.
"Mum talked a lot about you uncle...She never thought you were a climber...She said you came from the future and saved her life. She didn\'t even remember how many times she died until the mission was over, how many times history repeated itself for her. You kept her from harm, you took a path that had never been travelled before and you fought for her." Elanor\'s daughter said as she walked.
With that, she turned around and bowed to James and then said, "The only reason I\'m here is that you saved my mother by not even thinking about your own life, unlike other climbers...I don\'t know what kind of structure the tower is, but I hope you can do something about the floor, it would be an honour to see you as my uncle."
James didn\'t know what to say. After all, there was not even a floor in the tower that passed without a battle, or rather, there was never such a floor after the tutorial floors. Which meant that there had to be a reason why he had come to this floor, why Elanor was alive.
The fact that she was going to speak to the tower self for the first time was a different story, she had heard stories before, she had even read about it in the imperial library.
Even reaching that self was very difficult, unless the tower was watching you carefully. In this case, James had a huge advantage, after all, the tower had given him a floor mission just because it was watching him carefully.
"Well, I mean, I did it out of duty, but we don\'t come from very different situations so I might have been a bit emotional," James said, after all, the only reason he helped Elanor was because the mission Emma had given him, the mission he had to accomplish to get to the next floor of the tower.
With these thoughts in his mind, he made it to the garden and sat down on the ground. The only thing he had to do to reach the tower self was to enter the profile section of the system and send a request from the settings section, then pour some blood into the \'window\' that appeared.
If your request is rejected, the window cracks and breaks, if it is accepted, the window grows and a passage is formed.
This is exactly why James went into his profile and clicked on the \'Tower\' option at the bottom of the settings section.
With that, a window with the most detailed patterns possible opened in front of him, James reached into his inventory and pulled out a knife, brought his hand over the window and then sliced his palm thinly and began to bleed into the window.
After only five seconds, the cut on his hand stopped due to his auto-heal ability and the blood that had already drained enough blood fell out of the window onto the floor.
James waited a few seconds and then the window began to grow as he expected. After only fifteen seconds, the window turned into a passage and James went through the passage without thinking.
When he passed through the passage, he was teleported to a dark area. More precisely, the place he was standing in was dark, he could see stars, black holes and galaxies in the distance.
In front of him stood a humanoid, white light, but not glowing.
"You knew I was watching you."
The person hadn\'t even moved its mouth, James couldn\'t tell if it was a man or a woman, he heard the voice in his head and then said, "Of course. First the floor mission and now Elanor, you know what I wanted to ask you."
After James\' words, the smile of the white person in front of him lifted and his teeth began to show.
Even if James shuddered a little at this image, he knew that this was not the question he wanted to ask.
"Before that, can you give me a little bit of a copy? Can you tell me what it was that followed us into the swamp?"
After this question, the white person shook his head and then James said in his mind, "A ghoul. They are not dangerous, they protect the swamps, or rather they protect the souls in the swamps, that is the task of this floor, the quest of it, you help them protect the souls. Unless you take ownership of the floor, you will have to do this task." he heard a few sentences.
After these words, James shook his head and asked, "I will help a monster? And who will I protect them from?"
"From who? Of course from humans."
As these words churned in James\' mind, James paused for a few seconds and then shook his head and said, "Alright, it\'s going to be a bit of a challenge, but I choose to trust you. Now...you know why I\'m here, is there any possibility of that?"
After James\' question, the white person\'s smile grew wider and then the following words churned in James\' mind:
"It is possible, but at a price."
"What is the price?" James asked, and with that, he heard the thing that would shake him where he was and make him sit on the ground:
"Ten years of your life."
"How many years do I even have?" James asked as he sat there brooding, suddenly remembering that he had swallowed and assimilated Vladimir\'s core and had a pure-blood element.
The white person put a hand to his chin as if thinking for a few seconds and then James learnt the answer:
"You can live to see your great-grandchildren\'s great-grandchildren, after all, you have absorbed a Sun Vampire core, and on top of that Chaos himself is watching over you, you are not someone who will die that easily, unless in battle. And trust me, this is a one-time chance, only 10 years, even for Nyx I take half of her statues."
James got up from his seat after all these words and then came in front of the white person and said, "Nyx and the others are going to kill me, but I accept, my ten years are yours."
The white person had a purer smile after these words, grabbed James\' hand tightly, created a gate behind him, threw him through the gate, and then sent a message to James\' mind, "You are lucky, I owe a great debt to your ancestor, otherwise, I would make you my slave for this ownership."
James was back in reality before he could even ask what had happened. Another secret about Desmond seemed to have come his way.
