Chapter 6: So what about the price?
Standing at the entrance of the tower, Mars turned to look at the big bald man. He said his name was Gao 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 you can't defeat now. If you can't even get revenge, what's the point of changing your destiny.
A good job, a good family, a good future, all these are affixes that you don't deserve in your life before you cut off the heads of all your 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 and sleep for a while - before officially becoming an apprentice, newcomers like Mars have enough free time, and this is also
Their last period of freedom before becoming formal apprentices.
Because after becoming an apprentice, according to the senior brother, the new apprentice will be involved in a very rigorous training schedule. There is only one day off a week. On that day, the new apprentice can go home to see his parents or go out for fun. Of course, you can also give yourself extra training
——Of course, the senior brother said that after six consecutive days of training, basically no apprentice would choose to train themselves extra.
This makes Mars look forward to it. It will definitely 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, Mars will never back down in order to achieve his wish as soon as possible.
.
I took a look at the detection tool on my wrist - the senior brother said that everyone must wear it for a day, so that the data will be more accurate, and all the data will be confidential, and even I can only know it in a long time.
own upper limit.
It is said that this is to prevent children with insufficient potential from degenerating themselves.
Mars didn't understand why someone would choose to give up, but as his father said, everyone has his or her own ambitions, so Mars decided to walk around, even if it was an adventure.
So we left the hall, followed the corridor extending from the awning, and came to the eastern square of the tower. We followed the steps to the high wall and looked towards the east. We can see the sea and some buildings here.
The wreckage emerged from the sea.
This is proof that the old era has remained in this world. It is said that a long, long time ago, the world was not shrouded in the clouds of great destruction. The people of that era were as prosperous as they are now, with prosperous technological power. Today's human beings are still there
Efforts were made to fly out of the planet, and at that time, humans were even able to establish colonies on other planets.
This is a story Mars heard from his father. In his childhood memories, his father always said that if there were not those madmen who summoned destruction from subspace, the world would not have experienced so much suffering, nor would there be so much.
Much sacrifice.
Whether it's my father or Mars, people today have actually been away from destruction for almost two thousand years. History has long become a story, and the story has the color of myth.
And just like the city in front of us that was swallowed by the sea, its name has long disappeared in history, and there are even fewer cities like New Hangzhou that can retain the names of the old era until now.
After looking at the sea in front of him for a while, Mars heard the sound of a bell - the bell from the 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 tower door. When the door closed, Mals heard the bell again.
That should be the bell for dinner. Mars quickly ran to the hall, where his senior brothers would take the new apprentices to the restaurant.
………………
Standing outside the gate, Lin Changshan was about to leave, but the Sage didn't think so. He stopped Lin Changshan: "You came today not just to take away this child."
"Of course I'm here for this." Lin Changshan's face darkened.
"Then you should know one thing. This child stayed in a dangerous place for the last words of a dying man. If Ximen was not the first one to come, this child might have encountered something evil." At this point,
, Your Excellency the Sage sighed: "He doesn't know how dangerous this world is. There are good and evil in people's hearts, 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.
"Changsugi, you left the Swordsman Corps. Your peers said you were a traitor, but I still forgave you because you just wanted to protect this land from another aspect. I can understand...
But this time you passed." At this point, Yu Xianzhe lowered his eyelids.
In silence, Gao Changshan lowered his head unconsciously.
"This time before Sadajiro came to find you, he told me his itinerary. He said that you were a trustworthy person, but the night after he contacted you, he met a group of killers... You betrayed him
, causing him to die on that rainy night, and until the end, only the child of the woman he loved most stayed by his side." After Yu Xianzhe finished speaking, he looked at Lin Changshan.
Gao Changshan behind him did not speak, only rampaging between master and disciple in deathly silence.
"Why did you betray him?"
Looking at his former apprentice, the sage watched as the tall man was held high by the throat with his psychic palm.
"He is your little junior brother. He has always regarded you as his goal in life. Even if you left the Swordsmen, he would not say anything. Even if he went to the Four Islands to become a human slayer, he would fight for their dream-like ideals.
Living on the road of blood... As a result, his youth lived on the road of blood, and he died because of his belief in you..." At this point, Yu Xianzhe looked at the door, and with just one thought, he could crush him to death with his spiritual palm.
This unscrupulous disciple: "Changshan, you disappoint me so much. You can leave the tower for your ideals, but you cannot betray your junior brother for your ideals."
Finally, Yu Xianzhe took back his power, and as soon as the former apprentice landed, he knelt on the ground and retched.
"It's been two hundred years. The Supreme Omnic Corps handed over all power to mortals two hundred years ago, but you are still guarding the tower two hundred years later. Not many of the fifty-one children this year have good talents.
I really can't bear to send them to die in the days to come..." Having said this to himself, Yu Xianzhe looked at Gao Changshan who stood up: "Go away, I don't want to see you, a betrayed junior brother, again.
You are a scum, the tower does not welcome you, this is the last time you can stand in this courtyard alive, from now on, stay as far away from this land as possible." After saying that, Yu Xianzhe walked towards the door that opened automatically.
Standing at the gate, Lin Changshan was silent for a long time. Finally, he turned around and walked into the sunshine. He walked through the streets until he got into a car that opened the door on the side of the road.
·Mr. Director, where are you going?
The automaton in the front seat asked in its unchanging electronic voice.
"Go back to the bureau."
When the car window automatically raised to block the sun, and when the car began to take off, Gao Changshan looked at the tall tower outside the car window, watching the place where he grew up gradually go away, until he picked up the cigarette case with trembling hands.
, struggled to light a cigarette for himself, and in the smoke, the melancholy on his face became deeper and deeper.
It wasn't until much later that he stuffed the burned cigarette ashes into the ashtray.
He clicked on the answering machine, and on the opposite side of the answering machine came a friend's inquiry: "Chang Shan, what did your instructor say?"
"He asked me to get out as far away as possible. I'm now considering whether to go to the Southern Islands to support the third line." Gao Changshan leaned back on his chair.
"Then do you want me to help you?"
"I can just do it myself."
After saying that, Gao Changshan turned off the answering machine.
The mentor has already served this land during the era of destruction. At that time, whether it was the people of the peninsula, the people of the four islands, or the people of the southern part of the country, everyone was struggling for survival. The mentor built towers and established swordsmen.
Team, that's no problem.
But things are different now. Times have changed. After all, the people of the Four Islands and the Peninsula are still as written in history. They... are becoming the enemies of the southern Thai people.
