Son of the Tower

Chapter 22 The Oath
"Good morning, Mars, you are late today."

As soon as Mars entered the restaurant, he saw Pine Cone sitting at the door greeting him.

"Good morning, Pine Cone, and everyone." Mars smiled, patted the little squirrel on the head, and then went to pick out his favorite barbecue set.

Back at the long table of his grade, sitting next to Nie, looking at the newly promoted doctor, Mars noticed the cauliflower in her bowl.

"You actually eat this thing!" In Mars' leopard life, this thing is not something a leopard should touch at all.

Because no matter in terms of appearance or taste, it is no different from poison.

"Yeah, you will gain weight if you only eat meat." Nie said this, and looked at Mars: "I see that you eat fish and meat every day, why don't you gain weight?"

"It should be because I exercise a lot." Mars also explained this.

At this moment, a piece of news was interrupted on the projection TV on the wall. In a car accident last night, the ambassador of the Four Islands stationed in the southern part of Thailand, who had changed clothes and disguised himself, had an accident during a night cruise, and the car ran off the highway. cliff.

It is said that even the people and the car fell hard and couldn't make it back.

"Several unlucky people died last night. I think this one should be the worst one today." Zhao Guangcheng, who was eating dumplings, commented.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone here saw a new episode, and saw that the young female anchor of the Kadir ethnic group in the new Hangzhou No. [-] TV channel mentioned Lin Changshan's name in a heavy tone.

Mars was taken aback for a moment, while the other children all wowed.

According to the news, Lin Changshan, the former director of the New Hangzhou Education Bureau in the south of Xintai, has just been transferred to Antai Province in the southern archipelago on his own initiative. He drank a lot of alcohol at a colleague gathering last night and met him on the way home. The murderer, the other party perfectly combined the pursuit of wealth and death. Mr. Lin was stabbed seven times, and the knife was fatal. It was four hours later when he was discovered. The poor Mr. Director and his Life fell together in a pool of blood.

"Okay, it's my fault." Zhao Guangcheng sighed with a wry smile after glancing at the classmates who were looking at him at the long table.

"Brother Guangcheng, you are really crow-mouthed." His sister Zhao Guangyi was speaking next to him.

She is a super cute little human girl. Although she is a powerless person, it is said that Yu Xianzhe is developing a device that may enable the powerless to activate psionic energy. Zhao Guangyi is the first to get the moon.

But Mars thought for a while, and still swallowed the words that he knew him.

………………

In the next period of time, Mars continued his training sessions, but Mars took the initiative to reduce physical training.

One is because the instructor said that too much is too much, too much training will prevent Mars from growing taller, which hits Mars' weakness, because the previous medical examination showed that Mars is not a pure snow leopard species, and there is a current in his body It is still impossible to know the bloodline of his true identity. This bloodline is the reason why Mars' spiritual power is so high.

I can't be 1.2 meters for the rest of my life.

After Mars saw Nirvana, his doubts turned into a sense of crisis.

The second is because the instructor started to teach Mars independently, and Mars was quickly accepting all kinds of knowledge. A few days ago, Mars even learned a small technique to eliminate the noise caused by his actions.

After the extra training at night, Mars met Nie in the corridor in the back room. The girl was not with her friends this time, but was alone watching the flat-screen TV on the wall of the corridor.

Over there, there were news of the city-states of Middle-earth being at war.

"Do you also watch these news?" In Mars's memory, Nie never watched these contents. What she and her friends like most are brand-new TV series, online shopping platforms and cheap second-hand gift shops.

"Of course, I have a lot of cousins ​​who either serve in the army at Fort Carter or as a mobile police commando in Middle-earth, wherever it is, it's a world that bleeds all the time, Everyone is struggling to survive." Nei looked at Mars and sighed: "You should know too, right."

Mars did tell Nir his story, so he nodded.

"I hope we can face peace, but there is no peace in this era. You have seen sacrifices, and I have seen them too. I have a cousin who died in Middle-earth. He fought for the ideals of Northernism..." It seems Thinking of her cousin, Nirvana wiped the corners of her eyes.

Mars nodded, Northernism, Mr. Sadajiro is said to want to fight with his companions to change the fate of the four islands, and what they believe in is also Northernism: "Nie, do you know what Northernism is? .”

"I'd love to tell you that I know, but I don't know either, but I heard from that cousin of mine who said that Northernism would one day end all suffering and injustice in the world and create a world Southern Tainan was a better world when the sages of the tower ruled the world." Speaking of this, Nie suddenly snorted again.

"I don't think this is possible. It is said in the history books that when the sages of the tower ruled the world, southern Thailand was already like heaven. Although the doctrine my cousin believed in has always performed well in history, people's hearts There are selfish desires in the end, and the northern countries in the West and the North, where Northernism was born, have repeated this, so how confident are they that they feel that they can be more just than omnics."

"...But I believe that someone will be able to do this after all. After all, the sage was once a human being." Mars argued with reason.

Nie frowned at first, but soon she nodded again: "Your words make me want to refute you very much, but when I think of my cousin who said the same thing in the end defending this doctrine with his life, I feel that you also You are right, the world lacks everything, but there is never a shortage of lunatics who sacrifice for their ideals."

Nirvana's exclamation made Mars frowned: "They are moralists and idealists, they are not lunatics."

"Why is he not a lunatic, my cousin sacrificed everything for his ideals, even his lover and family were left behind, even my father's advice was ignored, and finally died in a battle to liberate slaves, those slaves were rescued He is dead, but he is dead...he is a lunatic." When Nie said this, tears welled up in her eyes.

Mars was also silent. He didn't know the meaning of that dead cousin in Nie's heart before, but now it seems that this must be one of Nie's favorite cousins.

So, Mars lowered his eyebrows: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't argue with you."

"...No, I should be the one who said this." Having said that, Nirvana stretched out her hand: "I'm a little hungry, let's go have some snacks."

"My treat." Mars said so.

"No, I have a treat, I have a request." Nie looked at Mars.

"What request." Mars asked with a hint of curiosity.

"You must not become like him. Remember, this world is bleeding all the time, and there is no shortage of you showing your wounds to this world." When Nie said this, she was like a little adult.

Looking at her expectant eyes, Mars thought for a while, and finally nodded seriously.

"I swear to you, I will never become such a person."
