Chapter 16: Desire
Winning and losing, I feel bored after a long time. I collected my ingots and looked for the figure of the scholar.
"You're looking for a scholar." The banker guy saw me looking around.
"Well, where is he?"
"He's waiting for you on the third floor." The guy said leading the way.
The layout on the third floor is clear and cold, and it is much cleaner, "Wait a minute, I'll call Master Shuru." Without waiting for my nod, the man disappeared into the darkness.
The third floor is deserted, not nothing, the third floor is in the shape of a staircase, there are four stairs, at the top of the stairs is placed an official table, on the table are placed two things, an official hat, a brush.
I wanted to go up and see what was going on, but when I stepped on the first floor, there was a chill from under my feet, and I quickly collapsed, what happened? I looked down to see a thin layer of ice on the soles of my shoes.
"Young man."
"Who? Who's talking. I looked around in alarm.
"I am you, and I am your desire." The voice said unhurriedly.
"My desires? Don't pretend to be a ghost, get out of here. I shouted up the steps.
"I am your desire, **, the desire for money, the desire for officials. And I am your official desire. The voice answered me unhurriedly.
I was stunned, "Official desire? I don't want to be an official? ”
"That's because you don't know the benefits of being an official, as an official, you can kill all the negative people in the world, as an official, you can avenge your brother, and as an official, you can let Su Su marry you. Don't people live for fame and fortune? ”
"Fame and fortune? Save my brother? Is it true? I asked urgently.
"Yes, not only can you save your brother, as long as you walk to the last step, pick up the phoenix feather pen on the table and write your name on the white paper, and then bring up the dragon scale hat, you are the overlord of this world."
"Has the Pavilion Master of Xunyi Pavilion also been here?" If he's been here, I'll have to be taller than him, even if it's just a step.
"Xunyi Pavilion? You're talking about the fiery kid? ”
I don't know who the lord of the Xunyi Pavilion is, but his surname is Huo, so he can't run. "That's right, it's that kid."
"Hehe, he has walked three steps, and he can be regarded as a strong one."
It turned out that he had only gone up three steps, so wasn't that easy? "Come on!"
"Yes, bold. The first step is the Ice Terrace. ”
I stepped up the first step, and a chill rushed through my body, and I suddenly felt like I couldn't move. After a few seconds, the field of vision opened up, and there were icebergs all around.
"This first step is a test for you to climb the highest mountain in this icy and snowy land, and pick the red snow lotus, good luck."
"Hey, how do you go back?" I shouted towards the voice. No reply was received.
I looked at the snow-capped mountains high into the clouds, when the hell did I climb to? I spat and walked up step by step, each step sinking deep into the snow, and after climbing for more than an hour, I only climbed more than a thousand meters.
