"So, have you figured out anything?" Clovis asked.
lody was staring at her screen for a while before answering, "Well, I can’t tell you much right now. However, there are two things I’ve discovered. First, these are indeed codes creating this world.
"I don’t know how it is hidden in the tower. It might be the tower that keeps the structure of this world intact, or sothing. Or the thing only we can see might have co from this tower. Unfortunately, I can’t give you anything else about this yet.
"The second thing I’ve found is the fact that I might have participated in the creation of this world."
"What is going on?" Christina asked while squinting. Only Clovis and lody knew sothing, so she wanted to be included as well.
It looked like the others were quite curious as well.
"..." Clovis paused for a mont. He was contemplating whether to reveal this piece of information or not.
On the one hand, letting them know would definitely give them a sense of relief. On the other hand, they were worried about what they would think about the players.
As such, Clovis planned to reveal a portion of the information for the ti being.
"Well, Erwin. Do you rember the first ti we t Mara?"
"Mara Leverstrike? Yes. At that ti, I got knocked out just by exchanging glances with her. It was not my proudest mont, but it was definitely unforgettable. What about it?" Erwin tilted his head in confusion.
Clovis asked another question. "Do you know why Mara Leverstrike chose to talk to ? Do you know why she ended up agreeing to my proposal to join the Libation Fiesta?"
Erwin shook his head. "You tell ."
"The truth is..." Clovis sighed. "I can see the system that makes this world."
"!!!" Erwin widened his eyes. The others couldn’t contain their shock either.
"What do you an by ’system’?"
"What does it look like?"
"What’s going on? You’ve been hiding it the whole ti?"
Clovis raised his hand, stopping them to give him a chance to talk. Once they settled down, Clovis continued, "Yes. I can see the system. Back then, when we accidentally t, I could see the system error, as if we weren’t ant to et.
"I don’t know the reason either. Not long ago, lody also encountered the system when talking to .
"Right now, I also have questions like you. This tower might hold a clue to what’s actually going on.
"However, we now know that it’s because both of us have seen the system that we are able to see those codes hidden within the tower.
"This tower is most likely the pillar that maintains the entire world running.
"And so, if you think about it, the system exists, and there was once an announcent about this world being a simulation world, right?
"So, there might be another world beyond this world. It may be like our world, just more advanced.
"And there are so clues that lead to believe that we have our own bodies outside this world.
"Looking at the clues right now, lody cos to believe that she is also living in that world and is a part of the creation team of this world.
"Unfortunately, we need to have her crack the codes first to know what’s going on."
They were stupefied. They had never thought the situation would be so bizarre.
"So, am I just data?" Kanaria looked at herself.
"I can’t say for sure. As I ntioned before, lody found out about the system when we visited the tower to et my father before the hunt."
This ant they also had the chance to et the system. However, there was no telling whether it would happen or not and when they would et the system.
The best way was to figure out the code.
"This is... I don’t know what to say. Knowing my entire being is nothing but code..." Christina shook her head helplessly. "I don’t know what I should do right now..."
"Well, you do know what you should do. We all do. We have to run away from here first and figure out the codes. We can figure out the rest after we calm down." Clovis shook his head helplessly.
"That’s easy to say since you have t the system." Erwin smiled wryly.
Clovis nodded. He had expected this reaction before deciding to give them the information.
Fortunately, he didn’t ntion anything about them being the players. He couldn’t imagine what would happen to them.
Clovis raised two fingers. "There are two things that we might do next. First, we can find Mara Leverstrike. She is quite interested in the system and has been traveling the world to figure out what’s going on. This will be the best bait to get her to join our team.
"Second, we will have to get into the other six towers to figure out this world. I’ve always been searching for the truth about this world. And I believe the seven unique towers are the answer.
"I know how hard it is to accept. Even I feel scared about what will happen after learning this truth.
"However, I can confidently say that I’d rather find the harsh truth than live in an illusion."
Clovis wasn’t really saying nonsense. If they were just codes, they would rather live knowing completely that they were nothing but re codes than be curious about their existence for the rest of their lives.
Although it was a bit hard to push forward, they had to.
And as Clovis said, they had a high chance of succeeding, especially if they could invite Mara Leverstrike to their team.
With Angelina on their team, the Libation Fiesta was finally completed.
Jay might have been shocked but soon cald down after knowing that there was nothing he could do.
Hence, Jay said, "In that case, what we are going to do now is rather straightforward. While running away from here, we should aim to evolve to the next tier. Then, et Angelia, our new mber. We can find Mara while searching for the rest of the towers."
Clovis nodded with a serious expression.
