Son of the Tower

Chapter 6 What's the Price?

Standing at the entrance of the tower, Mars turned his head to look at the big bald head. He said his name was Lin Changshan... Of course Mars understood that the chance to change his destiny was fleeting, but knowledge could not change the fact that he was weak. In this world, there are too many opponents that he can't defeat today, if he can't even get revenge, what's the point of changing his destiny.

A good job, a good family, a good future, all of these are unworthy affixes in one's life before beheading all the enemies.

Turning around and walking into the lobby on the first floor, Mars began to consider whether he should go to the restaurant to find something to eat first, or go to sleep for a while-before officially becoming an apprentice, a newcomer like Mars has enough free time, which is also Their last period of free time before becoming a full-fledged apprentice.

Because after becoming an apprentice, according to the senior brother, the new apprentice will devote himself to a very harsh training schedule, and there is only one day off in a week. On that day, the new apprentice will go home to visit his parents, or go out to play. Of course, you can also train yourself ——Of course, the senior brother said that after six consecutive days of training, basically none of the apprentices would choose to train themselves.

This made Mars look forward to it. It must be a very cruel training. Maybe he can only sleep six hours or even five hours a day, but as long as he has enough food, in order to realize his wish as soon as possible, Mars will never back down .

I glanced at the detection tool on my wrist - the brother said that everyone must wear it to live for a day, so that the data will be more accurate, and all the data will be kept confidential, and even I can only know it after a long time own upper limit.

It is said that this is to prevent those children with insufficient potential from self-defeating.

Mars didn't understand why some people would choose to give up, but his father had a good saying that everyone has his own aspirations, so Mars decided to walk around, which is an adventure.

So I left the hall, walked along the corridor extending from the canopy under the corridor, came to the eastern square of the tower, followed the steps to the high wall, and looked towards the east, where I could see the sea and some buildings The wreckage emerged from the sea.

This is the proof that the old age remained in this world. It is said that long, long ago, this world was not shrouded in the cloud of catastrophe. Try to fly out of the planet, and at that time, humans were even able to establish colonies on other planets.

This is a story that Mars heard from his father. In his childhood memory, his father always said that if there were no madmen who summoned destruction from the subspace, this world would not experience so much suffering, and there would not be so much suffering. much sacrifice.

Whether it is Father or Mars, people nowadays have been almost two thousand years away from being destroyed. History has long been turned into a story, and the story has more colors of myth.

And just like the city in front of me that was swallowed by the sea, its name has long since disappeared in history, and there are very few cities like New Hangzhou that can retain the name of the old era to the present.

After looking at the sea in front of him for a while, Mars heard the bell—the bell from the high tower, so curiosity drove Mars to the hall again.

While moving in the corridor, Mars noticed his mentor and the guy named Lin Changshan, and watched them walk out of the gate of the tower. When the gate was closed, Mars heard the bell again.

That should be the bell for dinner, and Mars quickly ran to the hall, where the seniors would take the new apprentices to the restaurant.

………………

Standing outside the gate, Lin Changshan was about to leave, but His Excellency Sage didn't think so. He stopped Lin Changshan: "You should not just want to take this child away when you come today."

"Of course I'm here for this." Lin Changshan's expression darkened.

"Then you should know one thing, this child is staying in a dangerous place because of the last words of a dying man, if the first one to come is not Simon, this child may encounter some evil things." , His Excellency the Sage sighed: "He doesn't know how dangerous this world is. There are good and evil in people's hearts, and right and wrong in events. The beauty and ugliness in this world cannot be easily distinguished by a poor child like him."

Lin Changshan closed his eyes, he already understood why his mentor stopped him.

"Changshan, you left the Swordsmen team, your peers said you were a betrayer, but I still forgive you, because you just want to protect this land from another aspect, I can understand... But this time you passed." Having said that, Yu Xianzhe lowered his eyelids.

In the silence, Lin Changshan bowed his head unconsciously.

"This time, Sadajiro told me his itinerary before looking for you. He said that you are someone who can be trusted, but the night after he contacted you, he encountered a team of killers...you betrayed him , made him die on that rainy night, and until the end, only the child of the woman he loved the most was by his side." Yu Xianzhe looked at Lin Changshan after finishing speaking.

Lin Changshan didn't speak, only rampaging between master and apprentice in deathly silence.

"Why did you betray him?"

Looking at his former apprentice, the sage watched the tall man held by the throat by the psionic palm and lifted up high.

"He is your little junior brother. He has always regarded you as the goal of his life. Even if you left the Sword Emissary Squad, he didn't say anything. Living in the bloody road... As a result, his youth lived in the bloody road, and finally died because he believed in you..." At this point, Yu Xianzhe looked at the door, and it only takes one thought, and the spiritual palm can crush him to death The unworthy apprentice: "Changshan, you have disappointed me so much, you can leave the tower for your ideals, but you can't betray your junior for your ideals."

In the end, Yu Xianzhe withdrew his strength, and as soon as the former apprentice fell to the ground, he fell to his knees and retched.

"200 years, the Supreme Omnics handed over all power to mortals 200 years ago, but you are still guarding the tower after 200 years. Few of the 51 children this year have good talents. I really I can't bear to send them to die in the days to come..." At this point, Yu Xianzhe looked at Gao Changshan who stood up: "Get lost, I don't want to see you, a scum who betrayed my junior brother , You are not welcome in the tower, this is the last time you will be able to stand alive in this courtyard, from now on, the farther away from this land the better." After speaking, Yu Xianzhe walked towards the door that opened automatically.

Standing at the gate, Lin Changshan was silent for a long time, and finally he turned around and walked into the sunlight. He walked through the street until he got into a car with the door open on the side of the road.

·Mr. Bureau, where are you going?

The robot doll in the front seat asked with its unchanging electronic voice.

"Go back to the game."

When the automatically raised car window blocked the sunlight, when the car started to lift into the air, Gao Changshan looked at the tall tower of the car window, and watched the place where he grew up go away, until he picked up the cigarette case with trembling hands , struggling to light a cigarette for himself, in the smoke, the melancholy on his face was getting deeper and deeper.

It was not until a long time later that he stuffed the burnt ash in his hand into the ashtray.

He clicked on the answering machine, and a friend's inquiry came from the opposite side of the answering machine: "Changshan, what did your mentor say."

"He told me to roll as far as possible. I'm now considering whether to go to the Southern Islands to support the third line." Gao Changshan leaned back in his chair.

"Then do you want me to help you?"

"I'll just do it myself."

After speaking, Lin Changshan turned off the answering machine.

The mentor has served this land in the era of destruction. At that time, whether it is the people of the peninsula, the people of the four islands, or the people of southern Thailand, everyone is struggling for survival. team, that's no problem.

But things are different now, times have changed, and the people from the Four Islands and the Peninsular are still as written in history after all. They... are becoming the enemies of the southern Thai people.

Therefore, whether it is the four islands or the peninsula in this era, in the eyes of others, they... really don't need young people like Sadajiro who are willing to walk on the road of blood for their dreams.
