Dawn of the Grey Tower

The scene now is very delicate. This should have been a tense situation. Kailas had already prepared for the worst when he was recruited by this old man.

But the sudden appearance of the cheese and the conversation between the old man and the cheese suddenly changed the tense atmosphere. When the topic ended, the three fell into a weird silence. Cheese quickly recovered from the new news and glanced at Kailas.

"Talking to you has benefited me a lot, but I think you should be tired too. We will bother you another day, and we will go back today." Gray Robe said, leading Kailas to the door, and was about to leave. appearance.

Unfortunately, what he was facing was not a person who fooled the past. The old man in the pool put away his reminiscence expression and replaced it with another look.

"Don't hurry. I have friendship with Clark. It's true. But you are not him. Even if it is, I am no longer who I was at that time. I was still very young at the time, and now I have to Think about when you will bid farewell to this city. You are not lucky."

The implication of this sentence is that if the cheese were here a few years earlier, perhaps the old man would really put down the plan to let them leave because of his old relationship with the Lord of the Grey Tower.

However, there are not so many in this world. If, even if the cheese from the early years received an invitation, it would not have come here all the way, just for a courtesy. So this sentence didn't make much sense in Gray Robe's ears, it just showed that the other party didn't want to end the meeting like this.

"We have two people here. I don't know who you said you were unlucky, who is it?"

Since he couldn't leave, Cheese didn't waste energy trying to open the door. This room is full of vague magical aura, centered on the water in the pond, the magic in the whole room is integrated. He doesn't think that he can come and go freely in this kind of magical area of ​​completeness, and it is better to solve the problem head-on at the moment.

"Two people? Well, okay, just treat it as two. But they will come to me at this time, no matter who it is, it is very unlucky." According to the words, it is time to do it next, but No matter whether it was in the pool or standing on the ground, the three of the two parties showed no obvious hostility. Cheese even dissipated the magical aura from his eyes, far from looking like he was going to fight with others.

"Well, that's right. People who can perceive fear in fear are already rare brave men. Those who can force themselves to shed their defenses in this situation are either calm or arrogant. I hope you are the former, because the latter is Can't learn magic." The old man said calmly, seemingly satisfied with the cheese's performance.

Of course he knew the reason why Gray Robe put down his defenses, and that was because Cheese knew very well that he couldn't win with magic here.

"I think I probably understand it. When I heard about the system of the City of Ten Thousand Dharma, I actually had some doubts before. Can a small assembly centered on representatives of the so-called six universities really make the city work? It is obviously possible for such a system to allow the existence of all laws, but all laws are not a city in the conventional sense. Its survival is based on development. Without new development, the foundation of the city will be shaken. Although the parliamentary system is It is stable enough, but lacks efficiency. It will not only fail to reach agreement on some larger issues, but will also restrain each other. This is contrary to the idea of ​​the City of Ten Thousand Laws."

The old man nodded slightly, and the figure of cheese was reflected in his gloomy pupils, "Go on."

"When I saw you, I understood. In fact, the City of Ten Thousand Laws is not a six-member parliament system. In other words, the six-member parliament is not the ultimate power of this city. What they can govern is also part of the city’s problems. Just like the upgraded version of the school conference, the members participating at the same time are relatively fixed. Behind them, there are people who can really mobilize the power of the city, and even influence the general direction of research. That person, or conservatively speaking, among those people , There should be you."

This is not surprising, just like the high degree of autonomy on the surface of Runliu City. In fact, it is the mediation and counterbalance of several forces in secret, and it is normal for Wanfa to have such a trader.

"That's right. When I was your age, I didn't know so much about things outside of my own research. You are very strange. As a mage, you don't seem to be so pure, but this matter It’s not sure whether it’s good or bad. As for me, your inference is not wrong. I do have a greater influence than the so-called representatives of schools. There are also a few old guys similar to me in this city. We all look at it. To the rise of this city."

The old man swallowed and continued,

"Did you see my head? This is not a mutation or disease, it is heredity. In the place where I was born, the royal family practiced intermarry to ensure the purity of blood. Therefore, almost everyone in my family has this brain. Looks like. For the ruler, this is proof that we have the blood of God. But for me, it is just a sign that reminds me where I come from, just like the pyramids outside. They also come from my hometown. Those mausoleums almost accompanied me when I grew up. They were my enlightenment teacher, telling me what the world looks like, the relationship between life and death, of course, I realized later that it was not accurate."

"So now, have you got an accurate answer?" Cheese asked. This is not a provocation. He asked sincerely.

"No, UU reading www.uukanshu.com I gave up. I once gave up a lot of things, status, wealth, relatives, love for this answer, I went away from home and devoted myself to knowledge, thinking To build a city that only belongs to knowledge. But in the process, I had to give up more things. Now, I have even given up on the problem I was looking for at the beginning. I no longer demand the mystery of life and death, because it doesn’t matter whether it is What, I will eventually know. Now I just want to solve more practical problems and actually break through those difficulties. That's why you will stand here."

"We have become an obstacle to your problem solving?"

"Don't worry, it won't be anymore soon. I regret that it is a sad coincidence that you will appear here, but I have to wipe you out with the cat that mischievous. Because, in theory, I am dead. So the only ones who can talk to the dead are the dead."

When the old man finished speaking, he tapped the water with his finger lightly. In an instant, the magic power was transferred to the murals on the walls of the room in a way that was difficult for the mage to perceive clearly.

Immediately afterwards, the figures drawn on the plane in the murals came slowly to this world with more planes in a state completely contrary to common sense. They are not only decorations and words, they are also soldiers.
