Son of the Tower

Chapter 3 Courage
Seeing that the sage in front of him looked like a child not much older than himself, but it brought him an extremely dangerous feeling, Mars watched him retract the gun and sword hilt, and watched him walk towards the girl, and then he relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief—is this Mr. Sage? It really is a legendary figure.

But at least he left at this time. Thinking of this, Mars picked up the bowl again and drank the remaining delicious broth.

Mars, who is hungry enough, will never let go of any calories.

The girl was crying softly, and Mars turned his head, and saw a tall man with long ears hugging her, who seemed to be his father, comforting him in a low voice.

He watched the man come over with the child in his arms, watched the child whisper in her father's ear for a while, then watched him put her down, and she walked up to him, handing over a piece of paper with her little hand A note and a key card.

"This is the address and key card Uncle Sadajiro said, I think you are entitled to have it."

Mars took the note, glanced at the address on it, then crumbled the paper on which it was written and swallowed it.

"Why swallow it?" The girl was a little puzzled.

"Dad said that some secrets should not be left behind." Recalling what his father said, Mars wanted to cry, but he finally held back.

"...That's right, Uncle Sadajiro said the same thing." Sadness flashed across the girl's face, and she said goodbye to Mars and returned to her father's side.

Mars watched the father and daughter come to the door, watched him open the umbrella and carry her into the rain.

Is that man called Sadajiro... Mars thought so.

"Son, Mr. Ishikawa asked me to thank you for your help." The 1.2-meter sage returned to Mars again, and he put a chip card on the table: "There is a thank you gold from Mr. Ishikawa, That stupid apprentice of mine seems to have left his safe house to you..." At this point, this man looked Mars up and down: "Do you have anything to say?"

"The apprentice you are talking about is that Mr. Sadajiro...he said he has a mentor, is that you?" Mars asked courageously.

The sage in front of me frowned, then nodded: "Yes, he used to be my psionic apprentice, but now he can only die in a foreign country as a traitor of the Eastern Kingdom on the charge of kidnapping a thief. "

Mars' eyes widened: "How could that be? That gentleman was seriously injured, but he still protected the girl. Even if he was about to die, he would entrust her to me and ask me to lead her to find a way out... How could he It might be a kidnapper!" Mars didn't quite understand what happened to Sadajiro, but he really wanted to help that girl named Xiaochun, even in the moment when the light came back, he also wanted to find a way for her to survive.

"The child is not sensible, Mr. Sage, why do you have to explain it to him." The blond man over there spoke, and Mars glared at him-although he must not be able to beat this guy, but now, Mars really feels that he talkative.

"Children also have the right to know the truth, even if they don't understand what the truth is." After the sage refuted, he turned to look at Mars: "This apprentice of mine kidnapped the little Chun you protected three days ago. It is a fact, but it is also a fact that he died in that alley to protect Xiaochun, what happened in it is hard for you to understand now, and if you want to explain it, I am afraid you will have to hear the dawn." Having said that, the old man sighed.

Mars recalled the gentleman, the relieved smile on his face as he handed him the gun.

He still doesn't believe that gentleman is a bad person: "Master Sage, Mr. Sadajiro is a psychic sword user, right? Everyone says that psychic sword users are good people. The sword in their hands is to protect innocent people." The sword of good! He saved me from the killer!"

"Is that so... Did everyone also say that the sword in the hands of the psychic sword user is a lightsaber with azure blue light." The sage gentleman asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Mars replied of course.

Then Mars saw the sage pick up the hilt, and then a red light appeared, then orange, then yellow.

Mars stared at the colorful lightsaber in the hands of the sage, dumbfounded.

Putting away the lightsaber, His Majesty the Sage showed seriousness: "Look, the color of the sword does not represent the behavior of the swordsman, so my child, don't brand a person's past and future based on just one meeting, Sadajiro In your eyes, he is a good man, but in my opinion, his stupidity is that he failed to see the reality clearly. He naively thought that the sword in his and his companions could cut through the darkness of that emerging country, but he didn't think so. However, why the darkness becomes darkness, the power of him and his companions is too small, so small that he shed blood for his ideal, but because of a child's words, he can't change anything."

After speaking, he turned his head and prepared to turn around and leave.

Mars looked at the sage, and said like a ghost: "Master Sage!"

"What's the matter, kid." The 1.2-meter sage stopped when he heard the words. He turned his head, showing a trace of doubt on his face, but he was still kind.

Mars looked at him and opened his hand: "I, I also want to be a psionic apprentice. Mr. Sadajiro said that becoming a psionic apprentice requires talent. I have talent. You see."

With the efforts of Mars, the small ball of light danced at his fingertips.

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just a little trick." The damn golden retriever started again, which made Mars grin angrily.

Say one more word and kill him!

"Son, why do you want to be my apprentice? Do you know what it takes to be my apprentice?" the sage asked with a smile.

Mal wiped the tip of his nose, looked at the sage and shook his head.

"Being my psychic apprentice, you will lose the opportunity to face the sun. Every apprentice in the Sage Tower has a glamorous appearance, but they will all become walkers in the dark, just to let the innocent on this land Fortunately, child, if you take this path, from now on, maybe you can only walk in the dark, your hands will be stained with endless blood, even if you live like Sadajiro, beheading people in the middle of the night Aren't you afraid of a future like this..." When the sage spoke the last question, the power of psionic power overwhelmed the people around him and it was almost impossible to breathe.

Mars felt very uncomfortable, but thinking of that night, his father ordered him to live on before he died... Leopard Cub nodded vigorously: "I'm not afraid, I want to live! I want to let my father rest assured that without him, I will be the same Can survive!"

"Really..." The sage in front of him nodded, and he looked at Mars: "What is your father's name?"

"Found it!" A dwarf's loud voice resounded through the hall, and in Mars' vision, a dwarf came out from the darkness of the corridor holding a report card: "The father of that child has been found!"

Then he noticed that everyone was staring at him, so the big bastard smiled a little shyly: "Okay, I announced the answer, his father is Marley, a leader of the Dead Eye Group, who has been missing for half a year .”

Hearing the disappearance, Mars blushed: "My father was killed by them!"

"Son, your father, where were they killed?" The old man who picked Mars back here walked in front of Mars.

"Pier [-], District [-]." Mars will remember that pier until he dies.

"It's indeed a place where the Dead Eye Group often has activities, but your Excellency, unless there is solid evidence, the judge will not listen to the testimony of a nine-year-old child." The golden retriever stood up again.

"Shut up if you can't speak, kid from the Kennedy family." This time, Lord Sage spoke.

In the eyes of Mars, the sage raised his left hand, the whole hall fell into silence, and the report in the dwarf's hand spontaneously ignited.

After an unknown amount of time, the hall came alive again. This time, it seemed that no one noticed him, and everyone started to do their own thing.

And the sage looked at Mars: "Son, since you know that it takes talent to become a psionic apprentice, then you must have heard it from Sadajiro, right? Now, I want to know that you don't have the courage to hold a sword. "

"I can, my lord, I said that I want to live." Facing this weird scene, Mars finally mustered up the courage to reply.

"It seems that a young life has found his own path, come with me, child." The sage nodded, and while turning around, he threw the lightsaber hilt into Mars' arms. Li: "This is the path you chose, remember, don't regret it."

Mars caught the lightsaber hilt, threw it into his crotch bag, and followed the adult to the exit of the hall. When he was about to walk into the rain, a mechanical guard opened the umbrella for Mars.

"Thank you." Mars looked at the machine and expressed his gratitude, and then looked at his mentor, who clenched his fists when he was young.

As a cub, his instinct would make Mars fear death, but he understands that if he does not become stronger, every day will be like this rainy night, and his life will become a bridge to happiness in the eyes of murderers and villains .

200 million... After living for so long, it was the first time I realized that I was so valuable.

A person like Mr. Sadajiro whose wound burst out and finally died in order to save others may only meet such a good person once in this life.

Therefore, in order to survive, he must become stronger, and firmly grasp every opportunity to become stronger, and only by becoming stronger can he recover his blood debt for his father.

This is the motivation for Mars to live.

Letting the murderer pay with his life is the simplest concept in this era.
