Bart felt like he had a long dream in which he was a self-righteous ordinary man who thought that working in a particular direction would one day lead to the desired result.

But when he woke up, he realized that life was so weird, fate was so absurd, and he lacked both strong control and sufficient understanding of himself.

It's like everyone is saying that it must be great to be an alchemical scientist, and I'm going to learn alchemy too. I just stupidly followed, and then fell into a bruised and swollen face in the ruthless screening process.

Before he could see all this, he hurriedly tried to prove himself, and accepted the invitation of the tower and suddenly made a deeper mistake.

For idealists and perfectionists, the inability to modify and unwashable stains is more painful than physical shortcomings.

Bart thought more than once that if he hadn't lost his mind a few days ago, and had been able to muster up the courage to stand up regardless of the consequences and face his sincerity, would he not have been taken advantage of by the Tower Pathway.

"But I don't have that chance anymore, I'm like a clown, fooled by the crazy teasing of all kinds of enemies, hurting those who really want to help me, and self-righteous longing for redemption."

Bart is stuck in distress and remorse, his experience is shallow, and there are not enough people in his life to help him out of his predicament.

For the church, this is his punishment.

For himself, it was a flaw in his own heart.

Until nightfall, Bart falls into a strange but real dream, in which he sees Mr. Kidd Yasin again.

The real Mr. Kidd, not only was his house smashed and his store robbed, but he also heard that he was also a good person and had no good retribution, so he left the United Twin Cities.

And this Mr. Kidd, who claims to be a debt collector, wants to punish the cowardly and the betrayal.

Barthes at first tried to argue about what to explain, but his words were so pale that he could not even convince himself, for he had neither legitimacy nor legitimacy.

Even so, Bart longs for redemption and forgiveness, cheekily admitting his mistakes and immaturity:

"I don't want to be an accomplice of the Tower, I don't want to be at the mercy of the enemy, I am willing to accept punishment in order to regain the freedom I once had."

After all, he was a child with an immature mind, and it didn't take much effort for Ke Li to make him have the idea of voluntarily concluding a contract.

On the one hand, he wants to mess with Bart's fate, and on the other hand, he also wants to test his ability to control soul traits and soul gems.

The Tower path is based on the deck as the core of power, as long as there is no permission from Colley, Bart can't even build a deck, so no matter how insidious the tower operates, he can't use Bart to harm others.

In addition, Barth's own mind is too fragile, and although Corrie's cutting can cause damage and destruction, it can also be re-transformed into a stable structure, reducing weaknesses and constructing an outlet for the soul.

"When the soul contract is signed, I will stimulate your soul potential, because it consumes the power of your own origin, every time you use the power of the soul gem, death and annihilation will be one step closer to you, but correspondingly, I will provide you with assistance in the extraordinary realm."

"For example, the first rule is that if you want to defeat the Tower, you can't have inferior cards related to slashing and shields in your deck, and throw away all the blows and defenses in your head."

"If you only care about the immediate interests and can't resist the temptation to attack and defend, then you are back in the quagmire."

"As long as you continue to perform for me in shackles, I will support you in that regard."

"I—I accept it!" Bart stared at the hellblade with burning eyes, and the next moment, the sharp pain that pierced his soul caused him to break free from his dream, and he lay on the bed panting in white smoke.

At the same time, the soul gem belonging to Bart also appeared in his body materialized synchronously, which could be perceived and used.

[Multi-faceted Fool - Soul Gem: The endless path stretches under your feet, countless choices lead you astray, and after the endless journey, you return to the original point, this is the distorted expectation in your heart]

[Effect: You can drink any low-rank potion without losing control, but you will never be able to synthesize, promote, or obtain medium-rank or higher abilities]

[Each time you receive an extraordinary trait of a different path or sequence, your total ability efficiency will decrease by 10%, your lifespan and physique will decay, and when you obtain 10 sequence traits, you will be transformed into a mortal self-disturbance, release and lose all extraordinary traits, and turn back into an ordinary person]

"Is this the power of the devil, what kind of world do I live in, does the world of ordinary people really exist......" Knowing the specific location and power description of the soul gem, Bart shuddered.

It turns out that in the extraordinary realm, the lives of ordinary people are so worthless, and even a dream may inexplicably die violently.

Power and curse go hand in hand, power and price go with it.

The Tower Way is nicely said, but they never tell anyone what it costs to actually use the cards.

However, before using the soul gem, Bart's physical condition was still normal, and he seemed to be completely unaffected by the extraordinary power.

"Maybe as long as I'm not a tower pathway, they'll slowly forgive me and accept me?"

"Alas, this life of being targeted everywhere is indeed self-inflicted, but I really have enough of it, what should I do......"

Bart was thinking about his pact with the devil in a restless state, and before he could figure out whether he should confess it or not, he received a notice from the church.

The church suspected that there were people in some areas who were moving through the Tower, so they asked Bart to infiltrate the corresponding area and test it as a front-line personnel.

Bart in prison could not refuse, so he could only say goodbye to his family and accept the assignment of leaving his homeland while suffering from pain.

After dealing with the soul contract on Bart's side, Ke Li's side also received feedback on the extraordinary characteristics, and after using the curse of the Sinking Serpent, his work efficiency has improved a lot.

For Bart, who has a very shallow relationship, Ke Li also adopts the free-range mode.

After all, he is only sequence 17, he has his own sequence to be promoted, and his own troubles to deal with, so it is impossible to keep an eye on Bart around the clock, and it is impossible to control Bart to investigate all the time.

As for Bart's life, Colley didn't care very much.

Because this unlucky boy stepped on thunder too many times in a row, as an ordinary person, he still didn't die with his life, it was completely because all the forces ignored him after weighing his interests, and didn't specifically roast him on the fire.

A person like Ke Li who is targeted by the tower and the ancient is the one who must improve his strength, and if he is slow to be promoted, he will be beaten, and sooner or later there will be a battle.

"The ordinary level of soul contract provides me with very little feedback on the mysterious pattern, which shows that the value of this chip is not high, whether it is strength, soul uniqueness, or mystery, it is very average."

"Overall, 1500 gem energy is not a loss, but it is not profitable, so we can only wait for this chip to accumulate enough value, and then see if we can improve the income through follow-up operations."

"I still need to go on a special trip and design a good role for the 'chip evaluation'."

Colly reassessed the operation and the gains, resuming the details of the incident and the gains, and continued to embark on the trade route to Mammothhorn.

"Hmph, everyone in the Tower Road likes to play cards and calculate, right?"

"This time, I'm going to see how you can play your cards."
