Chapter 347 - Place Your Bets

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was true that the Endless Tower’s special goal for trial-takers was to train them, not to take their lives.

In the first level of the Endless Tower, if the trial-takers were at a level of a tier two god king, and if the monsters in the first level were at the strength of a tier three god king, the trial-takers would die if they entered.

It was likely that the tier three god king in that cave had just broken through to the tier three god king realm not long ago. With the protection of the blood dissolving pool and the cave, it would be difficult to find the Bat King.

There might be some fish that slipped through the net in the swamp. Jerry looked around, and all he could see was the swamp.

No, based on the situation in the Ghost Swamp, there must be some terrifying creatures hiding there. It was not surprising that there were even a few tier four god kings.

After hearing the conversation between Simmons and Brada, Jerry finally understood that this was not a normal situation for the trial-takers.

It seemed like the manager was the cause of it.

“In other words, this had something to do with the two executors?” Jerry rubbed his chin. He had already decided to keep a low profile, why were they coming after him.

He had never come into contact with the manager or the executors of the second floor of the Endless Tower before. Logically speaking, there should not be any conflict between them.

Did the other party have to risk being punished by the rules of the Endless Tower to deal with him?

“Your Majesty! I heard about it in the Divine Spear Dynasty. Lu Zian’s elder brother, Clare, had a good relationship with the manager of the second floor of the Endless Tower. Moreover, Lu Zian had always been paying tribute to that manager on the second floor of the Endless Tower,” Simmons spoke abruptly as if he recalled something.

Jerry rolled his eyes at Simmons. He should have mentioned this earlier.

However, he did not blame Simmons because of this. After killing Lu Zian, Jerry was prepared to be avenged by Clare.

He originally thought that that guy would directly find trouble with the trial-takers on the second floor of the Endless Tower. He did not expect that this guy was even more ruthless. He approached the referee instead. He did not expect that Clare’s influence was so great.

Jerry had not expected that the manager of the Endless Tower would make some sort of deal with the trial-takers.

It seemed that the old saying was right. Where there were people, there would be such messy matters. Even the manager was no exception.

“How far could the manager go? I mean, how much could he control the maze?” Jerry questioned. He was most concerned about this right now. After all, the manager was a representative of the Endless Tower’s will.

The main concern was how far could he influence the maze in the Endless Tower. If he were to directly awaken all the creatures below the swamp that had reached tier four, then even he could only flee in a hurry.

“According to the rules of the Endless Tower, when there were trial-takers in the maze, the manager can not interfere with the maze. Even the manager did not dare to be too presumptuous, because if the manager’s actions became too obvious, he would be rejected by the Endless Tower itself,” Brada said in a deep voice.

“I think that someone must have used some method to wake the creatures up under the Ghost Swamp, and also removed your rookie protection. These should be the maximum extent of his influence.”

“The other party would not dare to do anything casually now. If he did, it would attract the attention of the Endless Tower’s will, and then the manager would be punished by the Endless Tower.”

“Weren’t the managers neutral?” Jerry was a little puzzled.

“No!” Brada’s expression changed from green to white. In the end, he sighed helplessly.

“This matter was a little complicated. In the beginning, the manager took a neutral stance. But now, it’s different. The trial ground had existed for so many years. There were countless powerful trial-takers and every manager had started to take sides.”

“Every manager had started to place their bets on the trial-taker who would be recognized by the Endless Tower through the training ground.”

Brada had complicated feelings. After all, he was also a trial-taker. When he thought about how the fair and neutral managers had started to take sides because of their selfish motives, they began to violate their obligations and responsibilities as managers.

A person with his strength would not be able to attract the attention of the managers, much less place a bet on him.

Almost all the managers already knew that the people who could pass the Endless Tower. It would be the few people whose names were rank at the top on the endless stone monument.

“However, don’t worry. Even if the managers favor a trial-taker, they would not be able to openly tamper with the maze,” after Brada mentioned this, he fell silent. Everything the manager had done in the Ghost Swamp had already crossed the line.

As long as they managed to get out alive and report this matter, the manager of the second floor of the Endless Tower would definitely not have a good ending. However, since the other party had already planned to make a move, how could they let them out alive.

Hearing this, Jerry secretly heaved a sigh of relief. From the conversation, he understood that the manager would not be affected by the level suppression of the Endless Tower.

This meant that even if the managers were at a tier four god king realm, they would not be able to reach the third level of the Endless Tower.

Even so, the managers had to maintain a certain balance in the maze. Once there were monsters that were stronger than the trial-takers, the managers would have to clear them out personally.

If the managers were not strong enough to clear the monsters, the monsters would wipe out the managers.

If the manager entered the maze, even Jerry wouldn’t be able to escape.

After knowing that the manager couldn’t enter the maze to deal with them, Jerry and the others felt relieved.

Despite that, the situation they were facing wasn’t optimistic. According to Brada’s observation, the creatures in the Ghost Swamp were gradually waking up. The longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be.

Time could not be dragged on any longer.

Thinking of this, Jerry was no longer in the mood to cooperate with Brada. He originally wanted to follow Brada quietly and see how long he could keep up with his pretense.

Up until now, almost everyone in the Sky Dynasty knew that something was up with Brada, maybe except for Ares.

Initially, it did not matter, but after hearing that the manager had started to attack them, he was no longer in the mood to play charades with Brada.
