Volume 2 Chapter 157 The Woman on the Roadside

"Teleportation towers, what's the teleportation method?" asked Thor with a suspicious expression.

"As I said, this is the Twin Towers, which means that there are two towers that are exactly the same. When you use it, you can teleport through this tower to another tower in an instant, and with a 'whoosh' sound, it's as simple as that. ”

"It's not complicated to use, you can touch the tower with your fingers or your butt or your head, or any part of your body. Then, using mental power, the process of teleportation can be realized, no matter how far apart the two towers are. The stall owner finally spoke a little more.

"And where is the other tower?" After listening to the stall owner's answer, the suspicion on Thor's face was not diminished.

"That's what you have to figure out yourself, otherwise you think you can take something like this with a dragon's eye? If both towers were in my hands, I wouldn't have looked up at you if they were ten times larger. The stall owner replied.

If what the scar man said was true, then the Twin Towers were worth a lot of money, whether for adventure or journey. The problem was that the tower seemed to be only half a defective product now, and Thor smelled unknown danger in it.

"Then why don't you find another tower yourself and sell a pair of towers for a more satisfactory price?" asked Thor tentatively.

"Because I'm not sure if the danger is more than I can bear. ”

"At this age, I suddenly realized that the business part of my personality was greater than the adventurous part of me. So I'm going to sell it to a brave guy and get some pocket money for myself. The man with the scar watched as Thor spread his hands, blunt about his concerns.

This reminded Thor of a story he had once read, about a magic box.

A man was given a magic box, so he walked down the road with it. He didn't know what was in the box, but there were all sorts of rumors about it that were hard to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Some say that the magic box contains everything you want, while others say that the magic box contains only death and the greatest bad luck, which is the devil's trick.

What this person has to do is actually very simple, he only needs to open the magic box, and everything will be revealed.

But this person didn't have the courage to open the magic box after walking all the way, so in the end he gave the magic box to the next person he met on the road, and passed on this speculation and suffering to the next person.

The problem Saul is facing now is not that complicated.

The first is believe it or not, which is the whole story of the Twin Towers told by the stall owner. The second is whether to buy or not, which has been agreed with the stall owner on the price. In the end, whether you can find another tower and hold both towers in your hand at the same time.

So after thinking about it for a while, Thor returned to the first question.

"Then how do you convince me of all this you are telling? After all, you just keep talking. Thor continued to test the credibility of the story.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you to judge. But I think the most important thing is your courage, to verify the truth of what I said is very simple, you just have to put your hand on it and you can go to another tower. ”

"I'd love for you to use it for free, after all, the results have been bothering me for a long time, and I chose to back down. After you use it, I'll still be here, full of jealousy and gratification for your results. ”

"Jealousy is because you have the courage and the possibility of success, and when you get another tower, we have the same. The good news is that if you die on the other side of the tower, I'll be glad it wasn't me. ”

The stall owner looked at Thor and replied sincerely, and he did not hide the pros and cons of it.

"Have any other adventurers, or anyone else interested in this tower, used it before me?" Thor asked again.

"No, you may be the first, but not necessarily the last. The stall owner looked back into the distance, as if he thought that Thor had finished asking and that it was time to end the conversation.

The stall owner did go beyond his duty, and whether the story was true or not, he didn't really need to say so much. After all, believe it or not, whether you can buy or not, is a matter of the buyer's own responsibility, and no one forces you.

When it comes to this, it is indeed about the same, and Thor has his own judgment on the whole thing.

The stall owner is one order higher than his own, but he retreats in the face of the unknown, and Thor will not blindly laugh at other people's choices. After all, when it comes to life and death, how many brave people can there be?

People always want to do something with a certain degree of certainty.

But the world is like a wilderness, if you go to the first order, there will always be enemies of the second and third orders waiting for you. You go to the fifth order, and there are enemies of the seventh and eighth orders waiting for you. Even if you go back on the day you reach the top of the continent, do you think there will be nothing waiting for you?

And the world is so big, there are so many people, you never know what crazy and foolish people will do the same thing.

Thor admits that he has a madness in his personality, and that most of the idiots who can only shout slogans and hit their heads are dead.

The reason why 'naivety' is the biggest illusion in this world is because it can blur people's judgment. You may think that things may not be so bad, that the world may not be so sinister, and that you will not repent until the cold result is on your head.

It's a pity that there are some mistakes in this world that cannot be made, and if they do, there is no chance to correct them.

Overall, the whole thing is a lot like an unknown gamble, and Saul knows that he has a part of a gambler's personality, and he can go bankrupt and lose everything to gamble, but he won't gamble with his life.

From this point of view, it seems that he should not buy it, but it is because of this that Thor finally made the decision to buy the magic tower. Since he can go bankrupt to gamble when necessary, and now it's just a dragon's eye, what is it?

So Thor paid the money briskly and took the magic tower from the scar-faced man's reluctant and tangled expression.

"Okay, now I'm finally relieved, I don't have to go through the temptations and bewitchments of the unknown all the time, I hope you succeed. If...... You've backed down like me in the end, and maybe you can sell it to the next person. The scar-faced man finally said heartily.

Thor smiled slightly, then thanked politely, and turned to quietly tucked the magic tower into the ring.

It feels a bit like the person in the story who got the box, and even if he later finds out that the whole thing is just a hoax made up of stories, Thor won't pay much attention to it, and maybe even breathe a sigh of relief because of it.

Perhaps the biggest difference between himself and the scar-faced man is that he is not short of money at present, and what he has now is enough to support his satisfactory life. As for taking another tower and facing unknown dangers, that's for later.

At that time, even if you really cower and don't dare to take risks, it is good to leave a suspense for life.

Thor pondered along the way, and made a summary of today's trip to the market.

Suddenly, an abrupt gaze interrupted Thor's thoughts.

It was a rickety figure standing in the shadow of the low eaves, and it seemed to be a woman, who seemed to be staring at herself, and as she pursued her gaze, she immediately lowered her head to avoid it.

Thor subconsciously turned his head to look around him, and at this moment he had walked out of the bazaar and onto the ordinary street. The streets were scattered with pedestrians, separated by some distance from them, and the woman was clearly staring at her.

Was it because he had revealed his wealth in the bazaar, or was he trying to rob the goods, or was there something lurking in front of him? Thor pondered quietly, trying to find a possibility for the woman's gaze.

The woman didn't look at her again, and it wasn't until Thor was about to pass in front of her that she raised her gaze again and quietly glanced at her.

After the woman retreated from his vision, Thor finally paused, turned and walked back in front of the woman.

"Is there something wrong? Thor asked, looking at the woman, holding one hand horizontally, the other seemingly meaninglessly at the side of his face. This is Thor's defensive posture, his upright hand is very close to the sword behind his back, and he can draw his sword as quickly as possible in the event of a sudden situation.

This woman is about thirty years old, with an average appearance, and a face with the wind and frost of life, but not too old. Judging from the patched clothes on his body, it is obvious that he does not have a very spacious living environment.

However, Thor is well aware that sometimes what the eye sees may not mean anything, and the truth is always varied.

The woman heard Thor suddenly and politely address her as a lady, and hurriedly lowered her head in a humble and panicked manner, her tangled index fingers and thumbs tugging at the hem of her dress, and after a moment it seemed that something had suddenly decided.

"Lord Adventurer, please save my poor child!" the woman suddenly knelt down in front of Thor, and tears flowed down her face in an instant.

She cried so realistically, suddenly and so violently that at least Thor couldn't see any sign of disguise.

Thor's brow furrowed, the title Adventurer sounded a bit funny, and his age obviously didn't match it. Of course, this may also be the expression of this woman, a way in which she thinks she respects.

What Saul doesn't know is that, just like Anne Baez's impression of him, he is young, but his temperament can give people a sense of maturity and indifference, making it impossible to accurately guess age.

Coupled with Thor's current height and size, he dare not say that he is burly and powerful, at least he is also a well-proportioned tall body, and the woman in front of him is only near Thor's shoulder when she stands in front of Thor.

"Why me?" Thor didn't go to support the woman, just looked at her indifferently.

"I've been staying at this intersection for the past few days, hoping that the adventurers in this town will help, but they have refused because I have no money. I don't think you're a familiar face in the town, so I'm begging for help. The woman sobbed.

From the words, not to mention whether it is true or not, it seems that the woman's child has encountered some kind of predicament or danger and needs help.

Sol, who grew up in an orphanage, is actually very indifferent to family affection, and it can even be said that there is none, because he has always been alone. In addition, his consistent belief as an orphan is not to do anything beyond his ability unless he is forced to do so.

So Saul wasn't really touched by the cry of the woman in front of him, and as for whether to get involved in this matter, he fell silent for a while.
