Overturned Tower

"...Before you kill Kamalse?"

The godfather laughed out loud when he heard this: "Isn't that today?

"Are you planning to be my loyal ally for 'one day'?"

"Isn't one day enough?"

Tovatus just crossed his arms and asked with a normal expression: "You originally planned to defeat him in this reincarnation.

"In this case, with one more elf obeying your command... from any point of view, your plan should be more likely to be completed.

"And once this purpose is completed - even if I say that I will still be your loyal ally, will you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it."

The barber's voice was low and slow, but it had some indescribable and convincing power: "If I show extraordinary ability this time, it would be very reasonable for you to come to me for help when you encounter problems later. thing.

"In order for me to be able to help you in the future... you will definitely continue our cooperative relationship with reasons such as 'happy cooperation' after killing Director Kamalse."

"Oh? Are you so sure that I will encounter trouble that I can't solve in the future?"

"yes."

"I'm still more or less a permanent director, and the trouble I'm having...how much help can you give me?"

"Because you are a rebel among elves. Because your goal should not be just to kill Kamalse - this is just the beginning."

The godfather narrowed his eyes slightly and said with certainty: "So sooner or later you will get into trouble. A trouble that cannot be solved as an elf. And the 'godfather' can solve that trouble for you."

Tovatus' "fun man" is just his facade.

It's just because he seeks greatness that he pretends to be crazy and acts foolishly, covering himself up with comedy and uninhibitedness.

The barber has no guarantee that he can stand with the Tower of Babel.

Tovatus's will and will are simply too strong...

He is the type who is unwilling to distort himself to adapt to the environment and lower his needs to fulfill expectations, otherwise he would have succumbed to the Elf's position long ago.

In this case, introducing him into the Tower of Babel would easily lead to conflicts.

It would be better to exist as an external reinforcement.

"We are all smart people, so it would be better to be more honest and cooperative."

The barber smiled and said: "First say 'ally for a day', and then at the end say 'please cooperate' and renew the contract... Please don't use this PUA technique on me."

"...So, I quite dislike a straightforward and smart person like you."

The black-haired boy sighed: "If you have a higher emotional intelligence, why don't you pretend that you have been deceived by me?"

"I'm not good at acting."

The barber said with certainty: "I always say what I have to say. That's why I said so much at the meeting that day."

--Yes.

The character "Sweeney" is not good at acting, because it is the actor "Russell" who is good at acting.

He understands this very clearly.

"...There was a saying in the previous earthly era that said, 'If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it.'"

Tovatus reminded: "You'd better keep a low profile."

He really meant what he said, even with good intentions.

This young elf is also a little worried that his valued collaborator will die because of being too ostentatious.

He has wisdom that transcends ordinary people, a vision that is as condescending as a god, a character and leadership that can lead others... and that indispensable inciting power.

His original target was the inferior—the rebellious son of Kamaltha.

Develop his abilities...or die with him to destroy Kamaltha's destiny. Or he could do the next best thing and drive him crazy - see if Kamalse's bloodline also inherited his coldness and ruthlessness.

Tovatus was thinking fine...until he saw the barber.

He was the one who came up with the name "Godfather", and the implication was that he hoped that the other party could become the leader of the lower city.

...But soon, he realized that this was impossible.

Because this "godfather" has great ambitions...

He is not an uncoded person, but he is helping the uncoded people unite.

It was precisely because of this that he felt that... he and his godfather might be able to become friends.

Their ultimate goals must be different. But until then, they may become temporary, mutually supportive fellow travelers.

So his feeling of not wanting anything to happen to his godfather came from the bottom of his heart.

But the godfather did not accept his warning.

"For the average person, that's true. But for The Godfather, it's a little different."

The barber spoke slowly.

His deep blue eyes are reminiscent of the bottomless and terrifying deep sea.

“I have to stand up and be a beacon for people to see.

“I must withstand people’s doubts, malice and attacks, and finally stand intact under the light, in order to show my strength and persuade people to gather towards me.

"I would rather be scarred than intact. Because I am not acting for myself, I have no room to 'preserve myself'.

“Compared with ‘success’, I need ‘victory’ more!

"As long as I walk on the path of everlasting victory, I will let people see hope. Even if I fall down one day, someone will stand up again and take over the fire and light in my hands.

“Because that means I’m on the right path. I’m able to win all the time, not because I’m strong, but because I’m on the right path – and I need people to realize that.

"So I will not pick the fruits of victory that can be obtained by using cleverness; I will not pick the power that can be obtained easily by inciting; I will not use the support that can be obtained by demagoguery.

"For me, personal success was within reach. But I wanted something beyond that."

This is what he said from the standpoint of a "barber" with great confidence and with his chest raised and his head raised.

But that's not entirely true...or rather, it was because he was using his identity as a barber that he could hold his head high and say these words that made him feel a little ashamed and unspeakable.

Russell certainly thinks so.

However, Russell didn't dare to say this...because he would be laughed at if he said it. Because Russell is just a human being, a social animal, a corporate dog.

...But barbers are different.

He is the godfather. He is free.

He is the ruler of Lower Town. He is the uncrowned king of the uncoded.

He is very smart and possesses rare wisdom. But he chose not to use this wisdom for his own benefit. Instead, he walked on the right path and won an indisputable and indisputable victory.

"...I now believe that you will become my loyal ally."

Tovatus chose to give in and took a half step back: "But I will no longer obey your orders. I will execute them selectively...Similarly, if something happens to me, I will need your help. We help each other. "

"That's how it should be. We are long-term partners, there is no need to compete for a moment."

The barber smiled calmly: "Those who cling to temporary power and fame and are blinded by it...are greedy, stupid and incompetent people."

"really."

Tovatus nodded.

He felt the power displayed by the barber...and became increasingly curious as to why Russell was active under this false identity.

What the barber said didn't seem like lies.

But that's nothing like what "Ultramarine" would say.

An identity is promoted as a maintainer of the existing order, a hero elected by capital, and the spokesperson of the company;

Another identity became the rebel king, the ruler of the lower city... and even dared to unite with an elf for this purpose.

Kind, well-behaved, gentle, helpful, hard-working, an idol who shines like a light without any flaws.

Deep and ruthless, his ability as a ruler can be recognized by new mages who are born without codes and have no idea what order is, and even make him, an elf, surrender.

——Which one is the real him?

Which one is his disguise?
