Chapter 158: Why Did You Help Me?
Although there are countless information sellers in the galaxy, the locals know that the closer to the tower, the more capable the seller, the more accurate the answers they give, and of course, the higher the reward they demand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Now that we have the money, we can go to the most expensive ones." Arthur's proposal is approved by his companions, but what the companions don't know is that Arthur has a tower in mind instead of the most expensive shop.
Arthur asks passers-by what is in the tower, but passers-by seem to be taboo about the tower, which is the tallest and most eye-catching building in the city, but no one wants to talk about it. Arthur didn't even ask a few passers-by to no avail, and just when he saw someone waving to him, it was a merchant who sold "destiny" and "future".
Just like following the locals, or buying souvenirs, Arthur buys information from this merchant for a small sum of money, and learns that the tower is inhabited by real time walkers, unlike them, who can only stand in the distance, vaguely peeking into the corner of fate, those people are real prophets, too powerful to have a normal life, cannot leave the tower, and their power can only be used by the state.
Arthur immediately thought that their problems could not be solved with money, despite being in a place where money was exchanged for answers. When the companions saw Arthur's expression, they knew that their next destination would be the Tower, and that it was foreseeable that they would encounter conflict, and perhaps that would be good.
But no one advised Arthur not to go, for they could all sense that the answer they wanted might only be given by the tower.
Just as Arthur was leading the group towards the tower, the boy happened to glance at a corner of the street, and saw a tall, slender old man in a long purple dress reaching for something, looking very difficult, Arthur looked up and saw that the old man was trying to reach the purple turban on the treetops that matched her long purple dress.
The branch was not high, and the old man's hand was less than half a meter away from the turban, but this distance of less than half a meter was difficult for her, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach it.
Arthur didn't think about it, walked over and raised his sword, picked off his turban with it, and handed it to the old man.
"Thank you so much!" The old man smiled in surprise, "Just now a sudden gust of wind blew it into the tree, and I'm still in a quandary, thank you so much, young man." ”
Arthur was a little stunned. He had never seen such a beautiful old man.
Despite the clear wrinkles on her face and the graying of her hair, she smiled like a violet bloom, and her pale purple pupils had weathered depth.
When she put back the turban with beautiful rusty stripes and gold threads, simply arranged her long dress, and really looked at Arthur, Arthur felt his heart flutter, and the slender old woman in front of him was loving, wise, and exuded an indescribable sense of majesty, Arthur subconsciously took a step back for the first time in his life.
Seeing that Arthur was stunned, the old man smiled and asked, "What, is it the first time you heard the old man say thank you?" ”
"I don't remember." Arthur replied casually, "It's nothing, anyone can do it." ”
When the old man smiled, Arthur felt that he could smell the faint aroma of violets.
"But no one else did it, you did it." The old man was still smiling, and said softly, "Young man, forgive me for my presumptuousness, can you tell me why you helped me?" ”
Arthur still replied casually, "Because I can." ”
This answer surprised the old man a little, and she quickly asked, "Is it just because you can, and there is no other reason?" ”
Arthur pouted and shrugged his shoulders, "No." ”
"I see." The old man nodded slightly, thanked him again, and then turned to leave.
Arthur didn't think much of it, and continued to walk with his companions to the tower.
As everyone expected, the tower was heavily guarded, and as you could tell from the equipment of the guards, the guards were from at least three organizations. One side is the most common soldier, one side has the church emblem on his armor, and the other side is a magic swordsman.
The tripartite guards make the already magical tower even more mysterious, exuding an aura of resistance to the world's bans.
Because the tower was completely surrounded and protected by the guards, the young people could not find a breakthrough, and in the end, Arthur stepped forward directly, ignoring the presence of the guards to enter the tower.
As he approached, the astonished guards immediately raised their weapons.
"Stop! It's strictly forbidden to enter here! ”
"Why? I just wanted to go in and have a look. Arthur responded casually, looking for an opportunity to force his way through the guards and break through.
"Where did the little ghost come from so much nonsense! Go away! ”
One of the guards pointed Arthur with a spear, Arthur was disappointed on the one hand, thinking that such a knowledgeable city, but the guards were still the same, and on the other hand, he was happy, so he waited for the guards to take the lead, and he had a reason to do it.
When the spear was about to touch Arthur, Arthur immediately turned sideways, stepped on his feet and suddenly sprang out, jumping less than a meter between the two guards, and after jumping behind the two guards, he jumped quickly, dodging the spear heads stabbed by the guards, and then lowered his body and rushed to the entrance of the tower.
"Hey! Someone broke in! The two guards shouted, but to the surprise of Witt and Salina in the rear, although the guards were surprised, they didn't look in a hurry, but instead had an expression of waiting to see a good show, and Witt subconsciously read out: "Oops! ”
As soon as his words fell, Arthur was trapped by magic due to the triggering of the enchantment, and his whole body floated into the air.
Fortunately, since seeing the magic swordsman, Arthur has been mentally prepared to encounter magic, and after levitation, he quickly ordered Nayin in his body, Nayin got out of Arthur's body and launched spiritual power in the air, Arthur suddenly blew a whirlwind around him, and Arthur began to return to the ground under the impetus of the wind.
Discovering that Arthur is a contractor, the playful expressions on the guards' faces disappear.
The guards belonging to the church and the magic academy all gathered, and a magic swordsman saw that Arthur was still young, and that the companions behind him had no intention of breaking in, and their demeanors were quite friendly, so he took the initiative to disarm Arthur's magic, and politely persuaded Arthur that this is a forbidden place, please leave.
The magic barrier is ten meters away from the entrance of the tower, such a distance, so Arthur thinks that there may be other magic barriers, so he asked Naine in his heart, can she use her power to break through the magic to break in, although Naine can't magic, but she can feel the strangeness of the tower, and feel that the guards around it are the weakest part of its defense.
"Although this tower looks like it's just a tower, I can feel that it's not, maybe the defense on the outside is nothing, and the inside is the real deadly part. Arthur, this tower gives me a bad feeling, it doesn't smell raw at all...... Instead...... Instead, it is full of the gloom of death...... I don't think we should go in. ”
