Chapter 481 Curse the Twin Towers

In the distance, I saw two tall towers, all black, with straight spires.

The roads are lined with parents with their children, the rich will drive a hovercar, the poor will carry their children on foot, and the neither rich nor poor will drive a horse-drawn carriage or drive a hoverbike.

The closer they got to the Twin Towers, the more pedestrians came, and their goals were the same, their eyes full of anticipation.

"These kids were taken to excite them for abilities at such a young age?" Xia Fei asked with some surprise, there were many children under the age of one who were seen along the way, the oldest was only two or three years old, and many of them were still in infancy.

According to the general rules of the Alliance, the cultivation of the star must wait until the child is seven years old, and the age of twelve has not yet developed the ability to use the child-type genetic optimization liquid that does little harm to the body, but there are not many such examples, and most parents will wait until the child is an adult before trying the yào thing.

The reason why this is done is for the sake of the child's health, and in the Blood Candle Empire, the child who is a few months old is sent to open the ability, and it is also a way to use the body to extort it, even if he gets the ability, he will lose some of his body functions, in Xia Fei's opinion, this is tantamount to pulling out the seedlings to help grow.

Konstantin said helplessly: "Blood Candle is a wild place, many children have to earn money to support their families as soon as they learn to walk, and the pressure of life is unimaginable to outsiders, so the sooner you develop your abilities, the sooner you can learn to use them, the sooner you can earn money for your family, in exchange for necessary food and daily necessities, even the children of the royal family are required to be sent to the Tower of the Damned before the age of two." ”

Xia Fei nodded, in the face of pressure, there is no distinction between young and old, even immature shoulders must carry the burden of life.

The terrain began to get lower, and the twin towers were located in a basin, like a crater smashed by a meteorite.

The tower is surrounded by an alloy wall, of course the most common red Thai alloy, and countless tents are lined up outside the wall, where many parents live with their children in the open air, surrounded by a few stones for a simple stove, and the weeds and dead wood in the wilderness are firewood.

"Since there are a lot of people who want to enter the Tower of the Damned, it doesn't matter, people who can't afford to pay for the worship will line up here, if it's fast, you can enter in three or five days, and if you're unlucky, you have to wait for ten days, or even a month or two." Konstantin explained.

A road leading to the wall, where Konstantin and Xia Fei swaggered in amid the salute and gaze of hundreds of people.

After getting out of the car, Xia Fei found that there was a long queue in front of one tower, and the other was inaccessible, with a thick layer of dust on the steps to enter the tower, and it was obvious that no one had visited for a long time.

"You never said there were two towers of the Damned, why didn't this one have any people, while the other one had a long queue?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard excited cheers from there, and a child who had just turned one year old threw out a fireball in his hand, directly burning his father's hair, but the father did not have any angry meaning, holding the child and dancing, proudly shouting to the surrounding crowd: "This is my son!" He's got a fire-based ability! ”

Not to mention the excitement, there were a pair of envious eyes around, in the eyes of everyone, the father strode out with his son in his arms, and he bowed very politely past Xia Fei and Konstantin, Xia Fei found that his son's left ear had disappeared, as if he had undergone surgery, and was cut off by the roots.

Konstantin said with a smile: "Another lucky guy, his son has a combat ability, he can enter the army in the future, if he is lucky, he can become an officer, the fate of the family will be completely changed." ”

Xia Fei shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, he studied it carefully, and found that the Blood Candle Man could indeed reach a very good height by exchanging his body for ability, Star Domain level warriors abound in Blood Candle, but unfortunately the entire Blood Candle can't find any legendary warriors, their level will end when they reach the galaxy, and the higher eternal level does not exist at all.

Every few years, the alliance will give birth to an immortal powerhouse, but the blood candle does not even have a legendary level, which shows that the radical exchange ability can give the blood candle the highest ability popularity, but at the same time, it also greatly reduces the output of masters, and it can even be said that they don't have masters at all, and they only rely on team combat.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Xia Fei asked again.

Konstantin said: "One of the two towers can excite āo for abilities, and the other can excite āo for technology, you can only choose one of them, if you enter the tower of ability, there is no way to enter the tower of technology, in the eyes of the blood candle man, of course the ability is more important, so this tower of technology has not been opened for many years." ”

"The Tower of Technology? Entering this tower also requires the use of the body to do the excitation? Xia Fei said curiously.

"That's right, no matter which tower is not 100% rewarded, it's one thing to get an ability, it's another thing to cultivate one's ability to a level, if you choose the tower of technology, and you can't get any technology, it will be a disaster for the poor blood candle people, and the child's life will be wasted."

"After all, even if it is a weak ability, even if it is one percent of the seventh brain domain opening level, it will make a person a little smarter, live a little longer, and have better physical strength, don't underestimate this little bit of improvement, surviving in the barren blood candle, this little bit is enough to decide people's fate, so few people will be willing to risk becoming a waste person to enter the tower of technology."

Xia Fei nodded, the cultivation of ability is not simple, most people in the alliance have abilities and have opened the seventh brain domain, but the degree of development is high and low, it is absolutely a miracle to completely open it like Xia Fei, most people have obtained dispensable abilities, and they will not be able to reach the height of the level in their lifetime, if the ability is so easy to cultivate, the alliance would have been full of ability warriors.

"Your maintenance skills are quite good, you must have obtained it from this technology tower, right?" Xia Fei asked.

Konstantin said: "Yes, although there are few people entering this tower, but it is not nothing, once a family sent their children in, and turned out to be an expert in repairs, my skills came from a book he wrote before he died, but unfortunately my father did not like anything other than fighting, and I was scolded by him for studying this book." ”

The two of them said as they walked towards the tower of the Radical Ability, according to Xia Fei's estimate, the tower was more than two thousand meters high, and it looked majestic.

Walking along the periphery of the tower, Xia Fei found some strange places, the material used in this tower is not the common red Thai alloy of blood candles, but the more precious clowe alloy, the original material of the moon god is this clowe alloy, he has the function of strengthening the transmission of thoughts, which is most suitable for spiritual abilities, the amount of clowe alloy consumed by such a huge tower is very terrifying, but I have not heard that the blood candle has a large amount of this alloy output.

There are many textures on the body of the tower, these complicated lines of patterns are dizzying, and I don't know what I want to express, but it is by no means a common pattern of blood candles, the local wilderness, and the blood candle people like nothing more than horses and cheetahs, this kind of chou elephant lines Xia Fei has never seen in the imperial city.

"Who built these two towers?" Xia Fei asked with a frown.

Konstantin said: "No one can answer this question, it is said that the two cursed towers appeared overnight, and then people gradually discovered the beauty of the towers, in the era when there were no twin towers, the mortality rate of those prisoners exiled by the alliance was extremely high, and even cannibalism was not uncommon, but after the appearance of the twin towers, ordinary people gained a large number of abilities, so more people survived in this barren place, and finally gradually evolved into a country independent of the alliance, from this point of view, the twin towers are the real saviors of the blood candle." ”

After stepping through the thirteen steps, Xia Fei and Konstantin walked like inside the Strange Tower, there were no stairs or elevators leading to the second floor, and there were ninety-nine egg-shaped utensils in the empty hall, and the people placed their children in them, and then the egg-shaped utensils would automatically turn off, and the children's cries would disappear.

People waited anxiously, Xia Fei thought it was interesting, so he lit a cigarette and chatted casually with the waiting parents, and learned from the excitement that these people came from other planets, traveled a long distance, and came here with the last savings of the family, just so that their children could get a good ability, and in the future they could fill their stomachs and not be bullied.

The Blood Candle Empire is made up of three living planets, and the cost of each interstellar voyage is not small for these poor people, so some villages will have the village chief come forward and bring all the newborn babies at a time to reduce the cost.

The children who get the ability will be brought back to the village to be carefully cultivated, and those who don't get it will be discarded directly in the wilderness, after all, it costs money for a child to go back, and not far from here there is a concentrated dump for babies, where groups of jackals gather and wait for their lunch.

Konstantin shook his head a little ashamedly and said, "Vice, the darkest side of the Blood Candle Empire has been seen by you. ”

Xia Fei, as a relatively civilized earthling, naturally can't bear to abandon children and the elderly, but he also understands that the weak and the strong have always been the eternal and unchanging law of the universe, and human beings can do a lot of unbelievable things in order to survive.

After a few moments, the egg-shaped vessels were opened, the children were either missing arms or eyes, and there were cheers and sorrows in the hall.

Walking out, Xia Fei looked at the two-thousand-meter-high giant tower, "Why does this tower only have the first floor, and what will it be if it goes up?" ”

Konstantin shook his head and said: "The Tower of the Damned is sacred, it is said that in the early years, many curious people tried to go to the tower to have a look, but unfortunately none of them came back, they were either killed or disappeared into thin air, and since then no one has dared to try to climb the tower." ”

The two of them walked to another tower, and Xia Fei suddenly felt that someone behind him was staring at him condescendingly, as if there was someone on the tower!

"There are energy fluctuations on the tower, intermittently, and this energy fluctuation increases every time the children are sent to the tower." The ghost shadow said to Xia Fei in a deep voice.

Xia Fei nodded, "I also feel that someone is staring at me from the tower." ”

The ghost shadow was slightly stunned, "No, there isn't even a window on the tower, who will be staring at you?" ”

Xia Fei smiled: "It doesn't matter who it is, we'll find out if we go and see it tonight." ”

"This is the Tower of the Damned! It's going to be cursed! The ghost hurriedly dissuaded.

Xia Fei straightened up and said stubbornly: "I only believe in what I see in my eyes, gods, curses, I don't believe in any of these things." ”
