Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 35: Torvatos' price tag

Bird of Paradise looked at the barber with wide eyes.

She originally thought that this man was just a pervert who simply killed people without blinking an eye...

She could tell that the words came from the barber's sincerity.

A wise man who is so compassionate and rational enough to penetrate the truth...why is his behavior so contradictory?

...Could it be that he behaved so cruelly towards his "lover" because he had a heart of punishment and sanction for "true evil"; his actions and attitude towards his "lover" were so gentle because he had a deep feeling for his compatriots without a code? compassion?

Paradise Bird was ignorant, and seemed to feel that he had come into contact with the essence of a barber.

He seemed like a nice guy... Even though the barber was a mage, he was a nice guy.

Like what the barber said.

People in the upper city are indeed discriminating against people in the lower city; people in the lower city are also hating people in the upper city.

Paradise Bird understands it all too well.

Because she herself is the best example...

Her parents are from Uptown, her father is uncoded and her mother has a chip. Both of them were old enough to have lived through times of drastic change.

When Paradise Bird was first born, her father could still go back to the upper city; but when Paradise Bird was seven or eight years old, he didn’t dare to go back anymore... because from then on, as long as he caught an uncoded person, he could directly Exile to the ground, regardless of whether the other party has committed a crime.

On the other hand, the "Cave House", which she regards as a "second family", although they are very friendly to Paradise Bird and respect their mother...but once the group is expanded to "uptown residents", they There is deep hatred for those people in everyone's words.

There are good people and bad people in Uptown; the same goes for Downtown.

But everyone hates each other—not because of what they have done specifically, but because of where they live, and whether they have a chip in the back of their head the size of a thumbnail. The most ridiculous thing is that my mother's former relatives... just because they moved to the lower city twenty years ago, they obviously didn't do anything, and they became enemies with each other inexplicably.

Discrimination has become justice. Hate is right.

If someone puts forward a different opinion, no matter where he is or where he is, he will be quickly divided, isolated, and bullied by the group around him.

Paradise Bird vaguely felt something was wrong.

It wasn't until today that she finally realized the problem clearly:

It's the corporations that are cultivating hatred among themselves. If uptown and downtown see each other as their worst enemies, they'll ignore the company.

It's like a hamburger that was originally stacked, and it looked like it had distinct layers. But after being cut vertically a few times, it became a mess and turned into garbage.

"...I really didn't expect that."

Torvatus looked at the barber with a sparkle in his eyes.

He boasted almost in admiration: "In the past twenty years, you are still the first one who can think of this level. This is still under the circumstance that you have never gone to school or read a book."

The mages are all born without a code, and they are the aborigines of the lower city. In this era when books are not kept in paper media, this means being isolated from knowledge.

The barber sneered: "It must be that no one has thought of it, but no one would dare to say it in front of you."

"Then how dare you?"

"Because I am more carefree and carefree than all of them."

As the barber said, he stretched out his hand without hesitation and put it on Tovatus' shoulder.

He looked down at Tovatus, showing a gentle smile: "You say yes."

Although it was such a gentle smile, the shadow cast when he lowered his head made his squinting and smiling face look like a demon.

Tovatus was a little surprised: "You should know that I and you are of the same kind."

"certainly."

"So you can't beat me."

"I know."

"Then you still dare to threaten me?"

"Because my success in killing you, or my failure to destroy myself, is the content of the threat."

The barber said leisurely, rubbing Tovatus's messy short black hair: "Of course... Maybe I misunderstood what you meant, and mistakenly took the killing intent as appreciation?"

"...You did not misjudge. I admit, your threat has taken effect."

Tovatus took a deep breath and nodded helplessly: "I can't kill you. And if I just take you away, it doesn't make any sense."

"What are you talking about... discordants?"

At this moment, a deep roar suddenly sounded.

Hang Shi's body, which was always hunched over, appeared in front of them at some point: "What do you want to do?"

A lion with a white mane meets the eyes of a child who is no taller than his thighs.

"You want to poach someone from me?"

His tone became lower and lower with each sentence, but his voice became louder with each sentence. That sound is enough to shake the heart of ordinary people, and just hearing it is enough to feel chest tightness.

"You don't think you can really keep him, do you, stupid lion?"

Tovatus' expression turned cold.

He didn't even look at Call Hang, but eagerly looked at the barber beside him.

Unprecedented and undisguised greed erupted in his wine-red pupils: "Strangulation can't tolerate you, barber. The way of anger is too narrow for you, and those dregs in the lower city can't understand your thoughts , and the company will see you as a sworn enemy—come with me, barber.

"This world is like a birdcage to you. And I am the one who can give you the key."

Hearing the wild words of the discordant, the barber suddenly didn't know what to say.

At the beginning, he sprayed a round in all directions, and he didn't know how to answer it.

The barber could only smile helplessly, and put his hands back into his pockets.

He lowered his head slightly, and looked at Torvatus: "It's not the downtown area, and it's not the company. Then what position do you want to use to win me over?"

"position?"

The immature elf kid smiled.

He finally stopped covering up, or opened his eyes like a half-sleeping demon god.

This naive child with a sick temperament said lightly: "I don't need that kind of thing.

"—I am the position itself, and the world should cater to me."

"Then if I promise you, who will you take me for?"

The barber raised his eyebrows: "Brothers? Friends? Like-minded people? People who can tell the truth? Inheritors? Teachers?"

On the contrary, Tovatus was a little surprised.

"Why do you think so?"

He replied without hesitation: "Of course it is my most precious collection. I will protect you well."

"...the key you promised the caged bird was another cage?"

The barber even laughed angrily: "Do you treat me like a pet?"

"Your words are a joke. How is this floating island, or even this planet, different from a giant birdcage? If it wasn't for work requirements, I'm afraid you will never be far away from your hometown in your life. The world is as big as you What does it matter? The place that can never be reached is just the scenery map of the game.

"Look at you now, the daily free food is taken when you are hungry; it does not create value or engage in creation; the range of activities is only a little; it has beautiful feathers and only makes some chirping sounds. But except for the owner , everyone else sees it as loud noise..."

Tovatus crossed his arms and said as a matter of course: "Except for a bird~www.wuxiahere.com~ what else can you be?

"But don't be afraid, I'll take care of you... No one understands your worth better than I do. At least I won't try to make a bird fight with a lion."

Russell finally understood.

If it is said that strangulation only regards "mages" as the same kind.

Then the elves go even further—even mages have no special status for them.

"First of all... I'm human."

The barber said word by word: "If you don't realize this, then pretend we have never met today."

"Secondly? By the way, are you negotiating terms with me, little bird?"

Tovatus smiled and took half a step back: "Okay, then I will talk to you about the conditions. If you are still unwilling after hearing this, I will never wrong you."

Hearing this, the high-level members of the organization present, as well as the ordinary members on the fringe, gathered their gazes.

Join in the fun, join in the fun, care about, and be curious about.

But no matter who it is, they are curious about what kind of exciting price Torvatus can offer as the leader of the veil of ignorance and as an elf.

But people soon realized that they still underestimated Torvatus.

Because that naive child said lightly in front of everyone like this:

"So—how about immortality like a dragon?"
