Chapter 35: Tovatus's Price (Ask for the first order!) )
Paradise Bird looked at the barber with wide eyes.
She originally thought that this person was just a pervert who simply killed people without blinking......
She could tell it was from the barber's heart.
Such a compassionate and rational man is enough to discern the truth...... Why is the behavior so contradictory?
…… Could it be that he is so cruel to his "lovers" because he has a heart of punishment and punishment for "real evil"? With such tenderness in his actions and attitude towards his "lover", is it because he has a kind of compassion for his fellow uncensored people in his heart?
Paradise Bird was confused, and seemed to feel that he had come into contact with the essence of a barber.
He seems to be a good guy...... Even if the barber is a mage, he is indeed a good man.
It's like what the barber said.
The people of the upper city are indeed discriminating against the people of the lower city; The people of the lower city are also hating the people of the upper city.
Paradise Bird couldn't have understood it all the better.
Remember the URL
Because she herself is the best example......
Her parents are from Uptown, her father is no-code, and her mother has a chip. Both of them are old enough to have lived through times of drastic change.
When Paradisebird was born, her father was able to return to Uptown; And when Paradisebird was seven or eight years old, he didn't dare to go back...... Because from then on, as long as the uncensored person is caught, he can be exiled directly to the ground, regardless of whether the other party has committed a crime or not.
On the other hand, the "cave house", which she considers a "second family", is friendly to the birds of paradise and respectful to their mothers...... But once the group is expanded to include "uptown residents," each of them has a deep hatred for those people in their words.
There are good guys and bad guys in Uptown; It's the same with Downtown.
But they hated each other—not because of what they had done, but because of where they lived, because they didn't have a chip the size of a fingernail in the back of their head. The most ridiculous thing is that the mother's former relatives ...... It's just that they moved to Downtown twenty years ago, and they didn't do anything, so they inexplicably became enemies with each other.
Discrimination has become justice. Hate is right.
If someone puts forward a different opinion, no matter where he is, he will be quickly divided, isolated, and bullied by the group around him.
Paradise Bird vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
It wasn't until today that she finally realized the problem:
It is the companies that cultivate hatred for each other. If Uptown and Downtown see each other as their worst enemies, they ignore the presence of the company.
It's like a hamburger that was originally stacked up, and it originally looked layered. But it was just cut a few times vertically, and it turned into a mess and became garbage.
“…… I really didn't expect that. ”
Tovatus looked at the barber with a sparkle in his eyes.
He boasted almost admirably: "In the past twenty years, you are the first to think of this layer." And that's when you haven't been to school, you've never read a book. ”
The mages are all born uncensored, and they are the natives of the lower city district. In this age when books are not kept in paper media, this means being insulated from knowledge.
The barber sneered: "It's not that no one thought of it, but no one would dare to say it in front of you." ”
"Then how dare you?"
"Because I'm more carefree and careless than they are."
The barber said, and without hesitation, he reached out and put his hand on Tovatus's shoulder.
He looked down at Tovatus and smiled gently, "You said yes. ”
Even though he had such a gentle smile, the shadow cast when he lowered his head, but his squinting and smiling face became as eerie as a demon.
Tovatus was a little surprised: "You should know that I am the same as you. ”
"Of course."
"So you can't beat me."
"I know."
"Then you dare to threaten me?"
"Because if I succeed in killing you, or if I fail, I destroy myself, it's the content of a threat."
The barber said leisurely, rubbing Tovatus' messy short black hair: "Of course...... Maybe I misunderstood what you meant, and mistook killing intent for appreciation? ”
“…… You were not mistaken. I'll admit it, your threat is in effect. ”
Tovatus took a deep breath and nodded helplessly, "There's no way I'm going to kill you." And if it's just to take you away, there's no point. ”
"What are you talking about...... Discordants? ”
At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded.
Strangling the body that was always hunched over the waist, and at some point appeared in front of them: "What do you want to do?" ”
The lion with a white mane met the eyes of a child, who was no taller than his thigh.
"You want to poach my people?"
His tone grew deeper and deeper, but his voice grew louder and louder. The sound was enough to shake the hearts of ordinary people, and just hearing it was enough to feel tightness in the chest.
"You don't think you can really keep him, stupid lion?"
Tovatus' expression froze.
He didn't even look at the strangulation, and looked eagerly at the barber beside him.
His burgundy pupils erupted with unprecedented, undisguised greed: "Strangulation can't hold you, barber." The Way of Wrath is too narrow for you, the scum of Downtown can't understand your thoughts, and the company will see you as a mortal enemy - come with me, barber.
"The world is like a birdcage to you. And I'm the one who can give you the key. ”
The barber listened to the wild words of the discordant, and for a moment did not know what to say.
The opening was sprayed in all directions, and he didn't know how to pick it up.
The barber could only smile helplessly, and put his hand back in his pocket.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at Tovatus: "It's not Downtown, it's not a company. So what position do you want to take to win me over? ”
"Stand?"
The immature elf boy smiled.
He finally stopped hiding it, or opened his eyes like a half-sleeping demon god.
This sickly childish man said lightly: "I don't need that kind of thing."
"—I am the position itself, and it should be the people of the world who cater to me."
"And if I promise you, what will you think of me?"
The barber raised an eyebrow: "Brother? Friend? Like-minded people? Someone who can tell the truth? Inheritor? Teacher? ”
Tovatus, on the contrary, was a little surprised.
"Why do you think that?"
Without hesitation, he replied, "Of course, my most precious collection." I'll protect you. ”
“…… The key you promised to the caged bird was another cage? ”
The barber even laughed angrily: "Do you treat me like a pet?" ”
"You're laughing at that. What is the difference between this floating island, or even this planet, and a giant birdcage? If it weren't for the needs of your work, I'm afraid you wouldn't be far away from your hometown for the rest of your life, and what does it matter to you how big the world is? The place that you can never get to is just the scenery map of the game.
"Look at you now, the free food every day is taken when you are hungry; does not create value or engage in creation; The scope of the activity is only a little; It has beautiful feathers and only makes some chirping sounds. But everyone but the owner will see it as a noisy noise......"
Tovatus clasped his hands to his chest and said as a matter of course: "What can you be but a bird?"
"But don't be afraid, I'll take care of you...... No one understands your worth better than I do. At least I'm not trying to have a bird fight with a lion. ”
Russell finally understood.
If it is said that strangulation only treats the "mage" as the same kind.
Then the elves even go one step further - even mages are not a special identity for them.
"First of all...... I am human. ”
The barber said word for word: "If you don't recognize this, then we have never seen it today." ”
"And secondly? By the way, are you talking to me about terms, little bird? ”
Tovatus smiled and took a half step back: "Okay, then I'll talk to you about the conditions." If you still don't want to hear this, I will never be wronged. ”
Hearing this, the high-level members of the organization present, as well as the ordinary members on the more margins, gathered their eyes one after another.
Join in the fun, care about the care, curious about the curiosity.
But whoever it is, they wonder what kind of heart-warming price Tovatus can offer as the leader of the Curtain of Ignorance, as an elf.
But people soon realized that they were underestimating Tovatus.
Because that child, in front of everyone, said lightly:
"So—how about eternal life like a dragon?"
