Son of the Tower

Chapter 197 Deep Dive
"Work?" Nie asked after watching Mars hang up the phone, his words were simple and horrified.

Mars nodded: "I'm working, but I'm fine. I'll leave after the deep dive ceremony is completed tomorrow."

Nie looked at Mars, her big eyes were full of inexplicable curiosity, she stood in front of her room door: "Sometimes, I see the shadow of my father from you, you, like him, always say I have a job, but I’m always homeless, and I’m always left alone at home.”

"...I'm sorry." After thinking about it, Mars could only speak in this way.

But Nie waved his hand: "Don't be sorry, men should be more ambitious, but you must remember that someone is waiting for you in this tower."

"I remember." Mars agreed, watched Nie push open the door of her room, and said good night to her.

Went back to his own room, hadn't been back in a while, but had his own omnic to clean it, so Mars came to the window, just at this moment, the moon was just able to filter its light through the gaps in the clouds.

The moonlight obviously does not have any aesthetic feeling, only the coolness reflecting the sunlight, Mars turned his head to look at the top of the cabinet, there was a photo of him and Tsubaki when they were young.

We are all growing up.

Thinking of this, Mars, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes.

Good night, Mars.

………………

Prince Ishikawa is waiting for news.

Since the Ishikawa Mansion became angry in the morning, the servants in the whole house heard about their master's situation from the housekeeper. The housekeeper also said, don't bother the master if you have nothing to do, or you will die for nothing if you are beaten to death .

"Master hasn't beaten a servant to death in 14 years, who wants to try?" The butler said so, no one dared to answer, for fear that the whip in his hand would hit him in a second.

As for what news the master is waiting for, everyone knows that the eldest lady is diving deep today.

Everyone knows that deep diving is a big deal, so everyone cherishes life even more, so as not to make themselves stupid.

………………

Ryan, who was sitting in the middle-earth bar, looked at the old TV in front of him, which was showing the morning news of southern Thailand. The old dwarf at the counter was carelessly wiping his wine glass while watching TV with him.

"It's not the first time for your daughter to dive deep. I think you've never been so nervous like today." The dwarf put down the wiped glass, then took a sip from the small bottle under the counter.

Ryan smiled. As a father, he has his reasons: "But this year is the first year of deep diving live in the tower."

At this time, a child pushed open the door of the bar and looked at him. The dwarf frowned: "Little bastard of the Niske family, get lost!"

"Are you here to see the deep dive ceremony?" Ryan stopped the old friend from shouting, and then stretched out to signal the child to come over.

He could feel that the child's spiritual talent was not low in this area, but compared with the gifted children in southern Thailand, this child's talent could not keep up at all... But look at his black Skin, look at his smart eyes, he wants to get a better future, this kind of thinking is worthy of recognition.

"Can I watch it?" the child asked, looking at Ryan.

Middle-earth is full of adventurous explorers, poor people who broke their homes to avoid taxes, robbers, thieves, and all kinds of people make up all kinds of towns.

This child may be the child of the explorer and a local woman, because his Thai language is relatively accurate.

So Ryan said yes and ordered the kid a glass of sweetened milk.

"Thank you, my lord." An adult who can drink and watch TV in a bar is a noble existence for a child, because in Middle-earth, old TVs are rare and rare.

"You've never seen this side of yourself. Before today, in my eyes, what you were best at was hanging other people's families from street lamps."

"That's because that family is all followers of Chaos. I won't do this, and there will be other legends about why Middle-earth is so chaotic. There is no unified government, so no matter whether it is a human or a ghost, they can live in this land." Show your talents on the damned land." Speaking of this, Ryan saw his daughter immediately after watching everything on the TV screen.

My daughter...wait a minute, is there any difference between my daughter and last year? Ishikawa's long-eared daughter has grown up visibly, and Mars' kid has obviously grown taller. What's wrong with my daughter.

Ryan covered his face with his hands at this point, as he heard the announcer describe his daughter as a 'super cute little sister' who will surely grow up to be a little beauty in a few years.

As a father, Ryan was desperate.

………………

Mars did not dive deep this time, but stood in the center of the circle, named Chief Apprentice, who must always pay attention to his classmates.

This was the idea of ​​the instructor, and Mars naturally followed suit. In the independent deep dive of the seventh grade in the early morning, Mars did not dive deep, and directly brought the seventh grade into the Psychic Sea, so this time, he directly took the ceremony of ten thousand people. See if you can bring everyone into the sea of ​​psychic energy. If you can, let the wrench try here next time.

After all, Mars dives deep into the sea of ​​psionic energy every month enough for those less talented guys to use them until they are 20 years old.

Fortunately, after the ceremony started, many people entered the Psionic Sea very quickly. Brother Colt, who was in charge of watching the instruments, said that this year was about [-] times longer than the average time spent diving into the Psionic Sea in the previous two years. second.

But compared to diving into the sea of ​​psionic energy, [-] seconds is nothing, as long as you dive deep into the sea, it is considered a success.

The rest of the time is to see if the children this year can stay in the sea of ​​spiritual energy for a while longer than in previous years.

And now it's time for the live broadcast, Mars can only look around with a serious expression—you see, deep diving is dangerous, and Mars, as the chief, stands in this most middle position, in the eyes of outsiders, Mars If Si is too lazy, it will be a little unreasonable.

If there is a new mutation and the chief reacts improperly, it will be a live broadcast accident.

So even if you are afraid of acting, you have to act well.

After 5 minutes, no one had withdrawn from the deep dive in the Psionic Sea, but the parents of the freshmen on the outer viewing platform could not hold back. Mars could understand, after all, diving into the Psionic Sea for 5 minutes, this kind of time usually only appears in the on the protagonist of the novel.

But they also know that if they rush into the arena now, if they just move their feet, they will be held down by other parents and omnics as mental illness.

At the 7th minute, a kid finally woke up, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand as soon as he sat up - this is what he said before the deep dive, if he entered the Psionic Sea, he would raise his hand.

He should be very proud because he woke up at 11 minutes and 7 seconds. In the hearts of the public, [-] minutes, this is a dreamlike time.

So his pride was justified, and Mars smiled and walked to his side: "Go to the rest area."

Only then did he realize that he was the first child to wake up in the entire ceremony area.

The so-called ups and downs in life can be seen in the ritual area at this moment. Pride and regret, happiness and sadness are sometimes separated by a thin line.
