Dawn of the Grey Tower

Everything seems to be developing as the mask man said, and every sudden accident confirms the credibility of this mysterious person. You know, it is possible to make and predict one or two accidents, but it is possible to describe the events and events of hundreds of people in a town like a few treasures. In the eyes of ordinary people, the term "prophet" may not be enough. Mayor Bender gradually believed in the mask man's words, and even rescued some of the tragedies that should have occurred based on the information he gave. By the fourth week, the mayor had also begun to change from a complete unbelief to the indecision that the "Mr. Smile" had always mentioned. The mask person's ability to predict is beyond doubt, but what he says is not necessarily true. So, is this terrible disaster a lie that the other party wants to defraud, or is it a real warning from the prophet. Mayor Bender had to think about this question all day and night.

When "Mr. Smile" appeared in front of the mayor for the fourth time, Bender had already made plans to recognize him. However, this time, the mask man regretted that because of the mayor ’s suspicion and sluggishness, the four children dedicated to the town were not strong enough to allow him to stay longer, his appearance continued It won't take long. Upon hearing this, Mayor Bender panicked at once, and the words of temptation that he had planned were cast aside. He hurriedly asked the mask man how he could get the Earl Lord to escape the plague.

"I'll guess what he said to you." At this point, the cheese interrupted the mayor's narrative and continued.

"I think the" Mr. Smile "must have told you that the destruction of the Earl's Collar is already inevitable, but he has a way to save Tianshui Town from it. Right?"

The mayor nodded and approved the mage's words.

"But I think he must also say that because the method of protecting Tianshui Town is very complicated, the time that he can still appear is too late. Therefore, if you want to know this method, you must pay the price again and extend his time. Right? "

The mayor nodded again.

"What? Did you give another child because of his words?" The boss lady heard that she had stood up here. If the death of the previous four children was to be counted on the devil's head, but the fifth child, but It was sent by the mayor himself.

The mayor shook his head quickly when he heard it, but he didn't wait for him to say that the cheese had pressed the boss.

"How is it possible, although the soul of a child is tempting, but the devil will not give Mr. Mayor the big fish that has been bitten. There is no chance of hesitation. So I think he must have proposed something relatively speaking A more "cheap" alternative. "

"Yes, that person said that the reason why the children's lives were needed was because he was forced to appear in front of me. If I invited him myself, the cost of calling would be much smaller." Bender Town Chang said.

"He did not lie, the devil was rejected by the bright side of the world, and he could not enter this world. But if someone invited them, it would be another matter." The mage nodded and explained. There is another word that the cheese didn't say, just a silent whisper in his heart-but those who invited them often paid a lot more pain than life.

"You don't need to describe the details of the summoning, as I know there are already more than ten kinds of summoning rituals. You just talk about the transaction with him." The cheese said.

"How do you know he proposed to deal with me?" The mayor asked, because of the knowledge shown by the cheese, he had unconsciously used a respectful speech to the mage.

"Oh, that guy has worked hard to get your trust. Is it really for doing good? Those devil want to get what they crave, and there is only one way, that is trading. If he does n’t do business with you, Instead, I felt strange. "The cheese sneered, and the mage had a personal understanding of the devil's actions.

So the mayor drank the wine from his glass and began to talk about the transaction between him and the devil. The transaction is actually very simple, at least in the eyes of the mayor. "Mr. Smile" taught Bender the way to save the residents of Tianshui Town, and Bender devoted ten years of his life. It can be seen from this that this mayor really loves Sweetwater Town, at least he is willing to sacrifice himself for this town.

"Anyway, if you can't escape the plague, you will definitely die. Now, instead of dying from the plague, you only need to give ten years of life. What do you think is a profitable business. Do you think so?" Monkey "Sneered.

The mayor nodded heavily, and the others did not feel wrong after listening to this passage.

"Since this is said, you voluntarily gave your life to the other party in exchange for asylum. Why do you hate the cheese so much?" Jack frowned, although the devil's actions were very abominable, but this seemed to be a The fair was a fair deal, and even if the mayor and the residents of the town regarded the cheese as a partner of the devil, there was no reason to be so hostile to him. This does not explain their attitude.

"I'll answer your question." The mage said.

"Because Mr. Mayor was deceived. The ten-year life-span that the devil said is not the ten-year life-span of the mayor. I'm afraid it is the entire tenant of Tianshui Town? And the so-called ten-year life should not only be It's just as simple as ten years of life. "

Mayor Bender listened to this, and the remorse on his face strongly distorted the facial features. He bit his teeth and knocked **** the table to vent his anger.

"This is wrong. Even if the mayor is deceived, the devil can't strike a town at once! They didn't deal with him." Elsa said doubtfully.

"This is why the devil is looking for Mr. Bender. Perhaps for us humans, the so-called official position, the class is just a method of dividing status, it is just a way of calling. But for the devil, words are power , The position is the authority. Because the mayor made this transaction, the people in the whole town of Tianshui have no choice in this transaction. I think the contract of this transaction should also emphasize the position of Mr. Bender as the mayor. It's just that he just took it as a respect and didn't notice it. "The mage explained.

"Is this possible?" The rest of the people exclaimed in a low voice, because in their view this kind of thing is even more difficult to understand than the devil itself.

"Of course, in history, the devil has always liked to start with those who are rich ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ There are just too many examples of the bewitched king who lost the entire kingdom." Qi Lan explained. Although others don't quite understand it, the mage already knows the devil's tricks.

"The next is the so-called ten-year life, it seems that its interpretation is not equal to ten years of life, but it is literally meaning, that the devil took away your ten-year life, right?"

"Yes, that liar stole from us for ten years!" Mayor Bender growled, tears gleaming in his eyes.

The cheese nodded and explained it to everyone.

"As we all know, our lives are made of stacking memories of the past. Every day, every year, every second we have experienced, these elapsed times make us the present ourselves. So human Life is like a tower that keeps building upwards. As we experience more, the height of the tower becomes higher. And our soul is like the material used to build the tower, and the strength of each soul is different, so the material The amount is also different, so the lifespan of each person is different. "The cheese said a pause.

"Of course, the method of building the tower will also affect the height of the tower. Smart architects can use the same materials to build taller towers, but that's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that in general we Refers to the loss of life, refers to the materials that have not yet become part of the tower, and the devil takes the weight of ten years from those materials, and our life is reduced by ten years. However, since that guy paid the soul of four children Such a big price also has to deceive the mayor, he ca n’t just want ten years of raw materials for hundreds of people. There is only one possibility for the ten years he wants-the ten years he has already become part of the tower itself. That is to say, he took away the memory of every townsman for ten years, "the cheese said.
