Chapter 160: Don't Bee Someone Else
Belissar turned to the two humans and narrowed his eyes.
“So…how do the Tower Lords train Tower Guards, especially that many…”
The augur tilted his head.
“Well, I suppose this may be a surprise for you, but the method is fairly simple. Once a recruit has been sufficiently trained in both mind and body, they are permitted entry into the Tower, where they challenge themselves against the monsters spawned within, as well as face their first battles with the Hunger in the forms the Tower permits.”
Belissar blinked.
“Wait…they fight the Tower monsters? The ones from the spawners we make?”
The augur gave Belissar a funny look as he nodded.
“Yes, of course. Such has always been the case, even before the Conclave codified Tower management methods. Humans challenge themselves to earn blessings and rewards from the gods, then fight to defend the gods’ Towers in turn.”
Belissar’s face fell and he made a dark expression.
