Dawn of the Ash Tower

Everything seems to be developing as the masked man said, and every unexpected accident proves the credibility of this mysterious man.You know, it is possible to create and then predict one or two accidents, but to be able to know all the big and small things that happened to hundreds of people in a town, in the eyes of ordinary people, the title "prophet" may not be enough to describe it.Mayor Bender gradually believed in what the masked man said, and even saved some tragedies that should have happened based on the information he gave.By the fourth week, the mayor's initial disbelief in the plague that "Mr. Smile" kept mentioning became hesitant.There is no doubt about the predictive ability of the masked man, but what he said is not necessarily true.So, is this terrible disaster a lie that the other party wants to defraud, or is it a real warning from the prophet.Mayor Bender had to think about this issue all day and all night.

When "Mr. Smile" appeared in front of the mayor for the fourth time, Bender was ready to recognize him.However, this time, the masked man expressed regret that because of the mayor's suspicion and slowness, the strength of the four children who dedicated themselves to the town was not enough to allow him to stay for a longer time. It won't be long.Mayor Bender panicked when he heard this, and put aside those tentative words that he had planned. He hurriedly asked the masked man how he could save the Earlland from the plague.

"Let me guess what he said to you." At this point, Cheese interrupted the mayor's narration and continued.

"I think that 'Mr. Smile' must have told you that the fall of the Earldom is inevitable, but he has a way to save Sweetwater Town. Right?"

The mayor nodded and approved the mage's words.

"But I think he must also say that because the method of protecting Tianshui Town is very complicated, it is too late for him to appear. Therefore, if you want to know this method, you have to pay the price again and extend his time, yes Bar?"

The mayor nodded again.

"What? Did you sacrifice another child because of his words?" The proprietress stood up when she heard this. If the death of the previous four children should be blamed on the devil, but the fifth child, It was delivered by the mayor himself.

The mayor shook his head quickly when he heard this, but before he could say anything, the cheese had already pressed the proprietress.

"How is it possible? Although a child's soul is very tempting, the devil will not give Mr. Mayor, a big fish that has already bit the bait, any chance to hesitate. So I think, he must have proposed something relatively A more 'cheap' alternative."

"Yes, that person said that the reason why the children's lives were needed before was because he was forced to appear in front of me. If I invited him myself, the cost of summoning would be much smaller." Bender Town Long said.

"He didn't lie. Devils are rejected by the bright side of the world and cannot enter this world themselves. But if someone invites them, that's another matter." The mage nodded and explained.Cheese didn't say another word, but just murmured in his heart - but those who invited them often paid a more painful price than their lives.

"You don't need to describe the details of the summoning too much. As far as I know, there are no less than ten kinds of summoning rituals. You can just talk about the content of the transaction between him and you." Cheese said.

"How do you know that he proposed to trade with me?" The mayor asked, because of the knowledge shown by the cheese, he had unconsciously used honorifics for the mage.

"Oh, that guy has worked so hard to gain your trust. Is it really for doing good? Those devils want to get what they crave, and there is only one way, and that is a deal. If he doesn't make a deal with you, Instead, I feel strange." Cheese sneered, and the mage had a personal understanding of the various behaviors of the devil.

So the mayor drank the wine in his glass and began to tell the content of his bargain with the devil.The transaction is actually very simple, at least in the eyes of the mayor. "Mr. Smile" taught Bender the way to save the residents of Sweetwater, and Bender dedicated ten years of his life.It can be seen from this that the mayor really loves Tianshui Town, at least he is willing to sacrifice himself for this town.

"Anyway, if you can't escape the plague, you will definitely die. Instead of dying from the plague, you only need to give up ten years of life. No matter how you think about it, it's a profitable business. Do you think so?" "Monkey " Said with a sneer.

The mayor nodded heavily, and the others didn't think there was anything wrong after hearing this passage.

"Since you said that, you voluntarily gave your life to the other party in exchange for a way of asylum, why do you hate cheese so much?" Jack frowned. Although the devil's behavior was very hateful, it seemed to be a It was a fairly fair deal, even if the mayor and the residents of the town regarded Cheese as an accomplice of the devil, there was no reason to be so hostile to him.This doesn't explain their attitude problem.

"Let me answer your question," said the mage.

"Because Mr. Mayor was deceived. The ten-year lifespan that the devil said is not the ten-year lifespan of the mayor. I'm afraid it belongs to everyone in Tianshui Town, right? And the so-called ten-year lifespan should not only be It’s as simple as ten years of life.”

After Mayor Bender heard this, the remorse on his face distorted his facial features strongly. He gritted his teeth and slammed on the table to vent his anger.

"That's not right. Even if the mayor is cheated, that devil can't attack a whole town at once! They didn't make a deal with him." Elsa said doubtfully.

"This is why the devil is looking for Mr. Bend. Perhaps for us humans, the so-called official position and class are just a way to divide the status, it is just a way of addressing. But for the devil, words are power , The position is the authority. Because the mayor made this deal, the people in the entire Sweetwater Town have no choice in this deal. I think Mr. Bender's mayor position should also be emphasized in the contract of this deal. It's just that he just took it as an honorific and didn't notice it." The mage explained.

"Is this possible?" exclaimed the rest in low voices, for such things seemed to them more incomprehensible than the devil himself.

"Of course it is possible. Historically, the devil has always liked to attack those rich and powerful people. There are countless examples of bewitched kings losing the entire kingdom." Cheese explained indifferently.Although others don't quite understand, the mage already knows the devil's tricks.

"The next thing is the so-called ten years of life. It seems that its explanation is not equal to ten years of life, but its literal meaning. The devil took away your ten years of life, right?"

"Yes, that liar stole ten years from us!" Mayor Bender growled, with tears in his eyes.

Cheese nodded and explained to everyone.

"As we all know, our life is made up of stacked memories of the past. Every day, every year, every second we have experienced, the time that has passed has made us who we are now. So people's Life is like a tower that keeps going up. As we experience more, the height of the tower will be higher. And our soul is like the material for building the tower. The strength of each person's soul is different, so the material The number of people is different, so everyone's life span is different." Cheese said and paused here.

"Of course, the method of building the tower will also affect the height of the tower. A good architect can use the same materials to build a taller tower, but that is not what I want to say. What I want to say is that in general we It refers to the loss of lifespan, referring to the materials that have not yet become part of the tower. The devil took ten years from those materials, and our life span was reduced by ten years. However, since that guy paid the souls of four children Such a huge price has to be used to deceive the mayor. It is impossible for him to just want ten years of raw materials for hundreds of people. There is only one possibility for the ten years he wants-he wants the ten years that have become part of the tower itself. That is to say, he took away the memory of every townsman for ten years." Cheese said.
