The ninth floor of the Star Tower.

The masked freak looked at Balatu in front of him and said, "You go, I won't recruit any more apprentices." "Master, his relatives are dead, and he is the only one left, so it's pitiful, just accept him." The brown-haired star officer hurriedly pleaded.

Baratu on the side didn't speak, his expression was a little indifferent. It seems that he has lost interest in the things around him. The masked monster stared into his eyes for a long time and said, "Kid, what do you want when you come to the Star Tower?" ”

Balatu lowered his head and pondered for a while before he spoke: "Honorable Star Official, I hope to be as powerful as you, and one day, I can shelter my own people. ”

His answer made the young brown-haired star officer unmoved. There was an excited look on his face, and his heart was settled, even if the teacher would not take Balatu in. He also wants to teach ideas privately.

The blonde star officer, who was originally lazily shrunk in his seat, couldn't help but straighten his waist. He looked at Balatu with a strange expression. The expressions of the two disciples were all looked at by the strange man, and he let out a long sigh and said, "Child, come forward and let me see what your potential is." ”

Baratu stepped forward, and the strange man said, "Help me remove the mask." His words made the two disciples frown. Baratu answered, reaching out to remove the stranger's mask.

How terrifying this face is, even if the two disciples have seen it no less than ten times. It was difficult to hide the feelings in their hearts, and they subconsciously avoided their eyes. Baratu looked at the face, but there was no hint of evasion, his eyes were as eternal as an ice field.

The strange man asked, "Son, what do you think when you see my face?" Balatu bowed his head and replied softly, "My lord, you have suffered a lot. His words made the stranger laugh, and his face became even more hideous.

After a while, the strange man stopped laughing and said, "If you go through the end times, you will know how lucky I am." He paused for a moment, as if searching for the past.

"It's a blessing and a curse. Everyone died, including the last nine who hid in the tower, and I was the only one who survived. In the strange man's voice, there was indescribable sadness.

Baratu's eyes fluctuated slightly, and the two sides couldn't help but look up and look at each other if they were telepathic. Like two lone wolves running thousands of miles, they finally found the eyes of their companions in the dark night.

"I've waited a thousand years, will you be the one I've been waiting for. The strange man reached out and pressed it lightly on Baratu's head. A light lit up from Balatu, and the strange man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Very good, your talent is even better than I thought." Your Excellency also made a great effort, you two go out first, and I have something to say to this child. ”

The brown-haired star officer chuckled and walked out, but the blonde star officer who followed him had a gloomy face. "Senior brother, it's okay now, I also have a junior brother. I'm kind of living up to my promise. The brown-haired star officer laughed.

In the narrow staircase circling, the blonde star officer forced himself past the brown-haired star officer, and he said stiffly, "You are a fool, one day, you will regret what you did today." ”

After saying that, the blonde star officer walked straight down and left quickly. Only the brown-haired star officer with a blank face was left standing there.

The masked freak flicked his right hand, and the shield rose again. Even so, he lowered his voice and said, "Child, don't you hate me very much, blame me for not making a move to save your people." ”

"No, my lord, it's all the fault of the beasts. Balatu's eyes flashed with a hint of panic. The strange man didn't ask any further, he closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "You go down, from today onwards, you can read the books on the first to third floors of the Star Tower." When you're done, come back to me. ”

Baratu nodded, turned and left the room. The strange man opened his eyes, looked up at the sky and sighed, "After all this time, I still can't deal with you." Isn't it very proud, after all, I'm still a coward. I'm really sorry everyone, but in the end, I actually survived. ”

As soon as Balatu reached the door, he heard a deliberately suppressed cry inside, and he froze for a moment, but closed the door gently.

Balatu had barely taken two steps when he saw the blonde star officer still standing there. He hurriedly beckoned, "My lord, why are you in a daze here." The blonde star officer turned around, scratched his head and chuckled, "Alas, there are some things that I can't think clearly. Forget it, leave him alone. By the way, don't call me an adult in the future. Call me brother, what did the master say to you? ”

Balatu and the blonde star lived in the official residence, and after a few days of getting along, he got to know each other's personalities roughly. He is genuinely good to himself, and he doesn't have too much scheming. He hurriedly replied, "My lord, you haven't confiscated me, but I just said that I can go to read the books on the first to third floors." ”

"Well, that's fine. The master will definitely accept you, he has never let outsiders read the book of the Star Tower. Let's go, I'll take you to see your room first. The blonde star officer smiled and patted Balatu on the shoulder.

"Thank you, senior brother, I will rely on you to take care of it in the future. There was a hint of warmth in Balatu's eyes, and the warmth and kindness of the other party were like a ray of sunshine, warming his somewhat frozen heart.

Early the next morning, Baratu walked into the stacks on the first floor. He was stunned by what he saw, it was full of books, the horizontal and vertical bookshelves rose directly to the roof, leaving only a narrow aisle in the middle, and the walls were also piled with all kinds of ancient books.

There are also many types of books, such as astronomy and geography, animals, birds, insects, plants and flowers, characters and poems, almost everything. The style of the book is also strange. There were metals, there were animal skins, there were bamboo slips, and Balatu even saw a book made of bones, stained with blood.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "There are so many books, when do I want to see them." Senior brother, have you finished reading this layer? The brown-haired star official on the side couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I, I've seen it almost, but Senior Brother has really seen the fifth layer." ”

At this moment, the blonde star officer walked in the door. When he saw Balatu, his face changed, and he immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, the little junior brother is also here, if you don't understand anything, you can come to the fifth floor and ask me." ”

"Thank you, brother. Balatu and the brown-haired star officer hurriedly responded. The blonde star officer nodded, and walked out into the books. The brown-haired star officer on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I thought that Senior Brother didn't like you very much, but now it seems that I think too much." ”

When Balatu heard this, he said in a somewhat muffled voice: "Senior brother, you have never known me, how can you target me." "Yes, too. I'll take you to some enlightenment books first. The brown-haired star officer nodded and smiled.

The two walked forward together, and Balatu casually glanced back with an indifferent expression. In the middle of the books, the blonde star officer also turned around, and he said hatefully: "It's really damned, the old guy is actually tempted at this time, what should I do." ”

A few days later, under the Star Tower.

It was late at night, and Baratu came out of the tower alone. He looked around at the tents and sighed. The herdsmen are like wild grasses, and it has only been a long time since so many people have gathered.

Balatu stepped forward, and when the herdsmen saw him, they fell to the ground. Baratu was accustomed to this situation. He didn't stop, he didn't stop until he walked outside the tower guard, and only stopped when he stepped on the thick snow.

"It's snowing so much, and I don't know how many more animals will die this year. Balatu sighed, reaching for the flakes of snow flying outside. "Senior brother, come quickly. A voice exclaimed enthusiastically.

"It's so early. Balatu sighed, a hint of sadness on his face. He looked up and saw that the blonde star officer was standing in the distance, waving to him. Balatu wrapped up his clothes, stepped through the snow with some difficulty, and headed towards the blonde star.

Although Balatu was opened by Zhenhaizi, he did not go through any cultivation. In the wind and snow, he stumbled a little. The blonde star officer looked at this side, but there was no hint of help.

It wasn't until Balatu came to his side that the blonde-haired star officer spoke: "Senior brother, no one knows that you came out." I also want you to enlighten as soon as possible, so that you can surprise the teacher. ”

"Thank you for your hard work. Baratu panted. The blonde-haired star officer pointed to the distance and said, "Senior brother, after a detailed investigation, the hill in front of me has a strong aura, which is just right for you to cultivate. The first time you open your pulse to practice, you can't be sloppy. ”

Balatu chuckled, patted the snowflakes on his body and said, "Senior brother, don't bother, I think it's good here." Dead here, the Star Tower can't even detect it. ”

His words made the blonde-haired star official's eyelids jump, and he took a deep breath and said, "Senior brother, don't blame me. We don't have a grudge, it's just that you didn't come at the right time. I know too much about the master, and there is no way back. ”

"yes, I can't go back. But what I know, my brother doesn't necessarily know. How should I tell Master? Baratu sighed as the snow behind him suddenly arched, and a terrible beast sprang out of the snow.

"Obediently, what have my followers brought me, little star officer, I have always dreamed of tasting you. The beast laughed smirked.
