Son of the Tower

Chapter 5 Embrace the New Life

When looking at the courtyard on the top floor of the dormitory, I didn’t think it was very big, but when I walked into it, Mars only felt his own insignificance. The brother said that there were thousands of children who came to become sage apprentices every year. Every child, They all regard it as an honor to be a sage apprentice.

It's a pity that two hundred years ago, the Sage Tower closed its doors and no longer managed the world. Most of the sages who managed this land in the era of great destruction and the next thousand years have faded out of the mortal world. Among the old Japanese-level sages, only Yu sages and Chao sages are left to walk in the world.

The psychic swordsman team under the name of Yu Xianzhe who lashed out at Fang Qiu has gradually withered, and now there are only one or two teams left.

It is said that new apprentices must first test their potential, and Mars is also included-after all, awakening psionic power is one thing, but individual potential is another, and Mars is also very eager to To know your own potential.

After all, this is related to the future development of Mars, making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and it is a matter of life and death.

After a while, Mars noticed his own peculiarity, because he was the only one among the dozens of peers present, and apart from him, the group with the smallest number also gathered four people—that is, four elders There is a group of girls with small and horny horns. They look at Mars with wary eyes, which proves the difference between hunters and prey in ancient times from one side.

Mars ignored them, and he just stood in the corner alone until his senior brother and a group of mechanical guards came out.

"Children, I am your senior brother, Kurt Katov." The young man with the characteristics of Baiyu Bode stood there. After the mechanical guards set up the testing platform, he stood in front of the testing platform. Pick up something like a bracelet: "Come on, children, let me witness the path that fate has drawn for you."

While hiding in a corner, Mars watched his peers who were ready to move impatiently walked up to the testing table to put on the bracelets, while the senior brother helped Mars's peers put on the bracelets, while telling ancient stories, in the story Here, when children in the era of great destruction test their abilities, they need to drink extremely bitter potions, then press their hands on the testing tool called the Fate Slate, and then loudly report the talent strength of the subject.

It can be said that it is very social.

And in the era of underground shelters during the Ice Age, the Extraordinary Guild launched a bracelet-type reading spiritual power detection tool. There is no need to cultivate the herbs needed for the bitter potion - it is said that the raw materials for making this potion are extremely difficult to see in the wild due to long-term picking and the coming of the ice age.

In modern times, wristband-type readings and spiritual detection tools have been able to achieve an accuracy of [-] deviation. All data will be obtained by the medical center, and then the medical sages in the tower will arrange teaching and training according to the specialties of each child. train.

When it was the turn of the four girls with small horns to start testing, Mars, ruled by curiosity, still heard their surnames.

Surnamed Lu, the four girls are Yinzheng, Qingsi, Xinghui and Jiaping from oldest to youngest.

To be honest, the names of these four deer girls sound pretty nice, much better than Mars's bland name, which makes Mars very melancholy.

And the senior brother over there has already waved to Mars: "Mars, come here, it's your turn."

………………

"The children of the Katov family are telling bad jokes about their family again. He can still talk about the old rotten rice 2000 years ago so happily." Standing on the high wall in the distance, watching what happened in the yard Everything, the sage sighed and turned his head to look at the big bald man beside him: "Speaking of which, how did you find it?"

"The agents who came back showed signs of being disturbed in their thinking. When they went to the North Headquarters to see, all the police officers on duty, Superintendent Lin, Superintendent Nanfeng, and the two unlucky ones in my family were all stamped with thinking stamps. The memory of the same time period was erased, and the parking records of the North Headquarters were retrieved, and it was found that no vehicles had stopped at that time period. There was an unknown identity comparison message and a lot of data in the agent's mobile phone system were completely deleted. The Education Bureau system There is an alarm record about a missing child that has not been completely deleted... You see, there are so many problems, I can only come to you after thinking about it." Speaking of this, the bald man looked at the yard The situation here: "It seems that it should be that child, right, after all, he is the only one alone."

"You came here because you wanted him to go to school, right?" Yu Xianzhe asked, and this old Japanese-level existence asked blankly.

"That's right, let every child have food, education, and knowledge. Isn't it proposed by sages like you?" The bald man replied with a smile.

Faced with such a curious question, Yu Xianzhe raised his eyebrows, and then looked into the arena - his chief apprentice was putting a bracelet on the last little leopard.

"I'll give you a chance to ask him." Before stepping off the platform, His Excellency the Sage, who looked like a house elf, asked.

This time, the bald head nodded stubbornly: "Of course, no matter how talented he is, he is still just a child. If he doesn't study, it will be a loss to him..." But he still hesitated when he said this: "But , the talent is so good, I think you won't let me take him away immediately, let's see what this kid thinks."

Your Excellency the Sage snorted, and then walked down the stairs: "However, I believe the answer will not be as you wish."

"You said before that everything depends on human effort, so I have confidence." The big bald head followed behind him, and a group of old and young came to the scene. The elders who were sages announced the end of the test and announced that they would take the magic potion. The date is pushed back by one day.

After the other children had left, and the chief apprentices Colt and Li Shujun also pushed the trolley away, the big bald head came to the child named Mars, and he squatted down, showing a smile that he thought was very close to the child: "You Okay, I am Lin Changshan from the New Hangzhou Branch of the Education Bureau, my child, I heard that you are already nine years old, do you want to study with children of your age?"

In his memory, every time he asked such a question, those children who lost the chance to study would always nod desperately.

Reading books, gaining knowledge, and changing destiny are the truths that everyone knows in this era.

Knowledge is power, and this power is enough to change a person's destiny.

But this time, he saw the child wondering... child, what are you wondering about? Obviously, you should know the benefits of reading, but it seems that besides reading, there is something preventing you from making a decision.

So Lin Changshan wants to increase his bargaining chips. He wants to let this child know that choosing to study is the most correct choice in life.

Swordsman?Fight for justice?It's all too early for a child.

"Study, acquire knowledge, and you can change your destiny. I heard that you are an orphan. Don't you want to acquire knowledge to change your destiny? Don't you want to get a job that everyone envies? You need to exchange knowledge for all of this , child." Gao Changshan decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Think about it, child, a good job, a good family, a good future, don't you want it?"

The doubts in the child's eyes are disappearing, which makes Gao Changshan very gratified-you see, this is the beauty of the new era, so beautiful that a child can completely eliminate doubts.

But he still miscalculated, because the child's answer was not what he thought.

"Sorry, this kind of future is too far away for me, sir, what you said is really wonderful, but if I become a beautiful prisoner, then I will break my oath, as a psionic apprentice, I If I can't even fulfill my oath, then no matter what I do, I will be a coward who has broken my oath... So, I won't go anywhere until I fulfill my oath."

After speaking, the child bowed to his mentor and Lin Changshan respectively, and left without looking back.

"Sometimes, a child is more sensible than you." Your Excellency the Sage smiled.

And Lin Changshan was very puzzled - what kind of vows would such a child have? Doesn't he really know that the chance to change his destiny is fleeting?
