Overturned Tower

"I think that no resurrection will be more valuable than this time.

"He could have easily fulfilled his destiny long ago, and then survived forever. But he has waited until now, until his body is old and decayed. It is to maximize the power of miracles...even chose to burn himself to death .

"It makes sense too. Because he's a 'chosen saint,' just like you."

Russell silently looked at the elf director beside him.

He suddenly thought of what he said when he saw Sal.

"—When you came into the world, I crossed ocean currents and mountains, and saw you in hallucinations. I knew from then on that you would come here one day.

"——He who is born to know."

He finally understood what the "fate" carried by the elves really meant.

It also seems to understand a little bit... why Karmasser claims to be "the forerunner, caretaker and guardian of mankind".

The supremacy of the name-bearing elves may come from this mission.

Consume the power you have accumulated over a long period of time to complete your destiny and pass it on from generation to generation.

Only some elves still remember their own destiny.

And some name-bearing elves have been corrupted over a long period of time.

They hope to fool this mission in order to gain gratuitous and eternal life.

……I see.

The sense of separation that Russell sensed from the directors of the elves, "seems to want something, but doesn't want anything", has finally been answered.

The elves may have died when they got their destiny.

They are innocent as children, rejoicing as youth, calm as old age, patient as fools, joyous as wise...

They are like living people.

As if still alive.

They just postponed their own death, waiting for the most suitable moment when fate finally appeared.

...Like a demon imprisoned in a reconstruction institution.

"As a ceremony, I would like to ask for your opinion."

Director Yachukas turned his head and looked at Russell, who was extremely small compared to him.

This middle-aged elf like a stone statue was silent for a long time before reaching out to Russell that generous and calloused hand, like a worker, like a farmer.

"You who were designated as a 'saint' by Saarqin, you who witnessed this heroic sacrifice that burned everything.

"Whether it is possible to accept this fate of doomed sacrifice and take over this mission passed down from generation to generation...

"—How about becoming this generation's 'SAIR'?"

That should be the answer without any hesitation.

That should be an urgent and passionate "I do."

But Russell fell silent.

Since the power of a "sage" is to cause miracles, not necessarily "resurrect others"...

Russell closed his eyes.

He remembered again what Alice had said before she died.

"Don't let others manipulate your destiny..."

I will do it, mom.

It doesn't matter whether it's the evening or the container.Be it a hero or a saint...

Regardless of whether it is a fate given by outsiders or not, I want to be what I want to be.

sorry mom.

It's the last time...

I will definitely do it in the future.

"I have no intention of rejecting this sacred mission..."

When he opened his eyes again, he finally spoke slowly and said very seriously: "It's just that I want to answer this question later.

"I want to save the covenant I made, the name of the miracle, for the future to decide."

If he still can't defeat the monkey-faced eagle in the end.

If you can't solve the problem of lack of resources.

if……

However, there are too many questions to be answered and too many difficulties to be solved.

This is a one-time miracle, and I don't know how to use it at all.

It's better to leave it until later to make sure.

He never lacked the determination and courage to devote himself.

That is not a future that is bound by the fate of the "sage", but that he wants to do it himself.

Even if he is destined to be "Twilight"...

——But if human beings are lucky enough to endure the dusk, can't they have the "dawn" beyond the fate?

Chapter 1 Brushing Teeth

12 month 17 day.

Happy Island, Tianen District, Tianen TV Station.

"If you want me to say, that group of untouchables are too lacking in consciousness."

The man with a big belly snorted, reluctantly accommodated his fat and bloated body into the sofa: "They obviously have a channel to buy guns, but they are unwilling to manage money and buy inside information; there are people who follow the group of lunatics from the Fuji Society everywhere." The time and energy for making trouble, but not willing to work overtime... Well, remember to stop broadcasting this episode."

The TV station's sofa is really too small for that man... The sofa that was originally enough for two people to sit on seemed to have turned into a single sofa at this moment.

It made a creaking sound and produced a terrifying deformation visible to the naked eye.It even made people worry about whether the spring under the sofa would burst and penetrate the body of the man above.

The host "Emperor" was originally tall.

But in front of the fat man who was [-] meters tall, he was as short as a dwarf.If he opened his mouth, he could even bite off the emperor's head with one bite.

Because this man has an extremely rare soul relative like a baleen whale.

The mouth on the face occupies a large part, and even painted with bright red lipstick, as bright as if it had just eaten a corpse.When he laughed, it was as exaggerated as an expression in a funny cartoon.

"We're live here, Mister 'Brush Your Teeth'."

The emperor reminded tactfully.

Combing his teeth, he just shrugged his shoulders and let out a loud laugh: "Oh, of course I know! It's a joke... well, it doesn't seem that funny. Do you think it's funny?"

"I think your jokes have a lot of upside. That's my comment as an industry insider."

Facing the emperor's unsalty sarcasm, Combing His Teeth just smiled.

He made a deep voice with reverberation, and raised his eyebrows happily: "Upside—ah, I like this word. People just need enough upside. If there is no upside, people will go crazy.

"A young man's ambition is like fire and vines. If the lid is closed and the ambition is suffocated, only black ashes will be left. I understand, of course I understand...

"I was self-made, you know—I think you've read it, Mr. Emperor. My two autobiographies."

"Of course. Me Without College and Clenched Fists and Clenched Jaws, I love them."

The emperor nodded calmly. The man with gray hair had the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He didn't care about this man's status as the chairman and founder of the "whale food company"... As the oldest hero and first-line host of Happy Island, he has such confidence.

The old emperor made a bitter and humorous comment: "I used the first book as a collection of sick sentences and gave it to my daughter who was in junior high school.

"In fact, it took her two full weeks to fix it. So much so that I was not willing to give her the second copy-I think the amount of training is enough. I feel a little bit sorry for her."

"Oh, seriously. That girl does a better job than my editor."

Fang Fang smiled disapprovingly: "You should really read my second book. You will find that it is completely different from the first book in terms of grammar, as if it was not written by the same person."

"So it's real?"

"Of course not. It's just that I paid a lot of money to hire a good editor."

Brushing his teeth and laughing, his red lips parted to show his comb-like teeth: "He complained to me that he almost rewrote the book for me. But I know that poor dog just wants to I asked for more money. So I gave him three times the remuneration—the original negotiated price was for an apartment building in the Luopan District. I gave him the opposite door. He immediately had no complaints and even wanted to hug me.

"He loves me more than his father. But I know he only loves my money."

Among the many challenges and obstacles encountered in the life of combing teeth, the contempt and irony directed at his education level are the weakest among them.

Rather, Comb Ya is not ashamed of this, but rather proud of it: ""Me Who Didn't Go to College"... Looking back now, I still wrote it too conservatively.

"It's not just that I didn't go to college? I didn't even graduate from a church elementary school.

"But I thought about it... the acceptance of stupid people is limited. If I write 'I haven't studied in college' in the title of my book, they will think: Ah, can I also do it? After all, they are almost at this level, or more I'm a bit taller. But if I write 'I didn't even finish elementary school', they'll laugh at it - what kind of retard is this, and dismiss it?

"It's like I wrote it in the book - just because I didn't go to college doesn't mean I'm retarded. I'm smart.

"Actually, I didn't graduate from elementary school. Just because I beat my classmates up."

He brushed his teeth and heard the words, showing a contemptuous smile: "He thought I would submit to the dogs of those teachers. But I won't, I knocked out at least one tooth of everyone. I also beat up the teachers one by one , the most ruthless one broke three of his ribs.

"Oh, yes. I was 1.9 meters when I was in elementary school... Actually I actually kept my hands. Because I calmed down after hitting the first guy, but I thought - since I hit one, Then it would be fair to beat them all. And after I beat all the students I saw, I thought since I was definitely going to be expelled, I might as well beat the teacher too.

"To be honest, it was quite a challenge. Especially our physical education teacher - although as a sports practitioner, he cannot hold high-intensity prosthetic body transformation. But he is indeed strong and agile enough, which is my life. The first challenge I encountered. It is said that the math teacher I beat up was his girlfriend, so the man wanted to beat me up angrily, but it was a pity that I beat him unconscious first. He Gave me three punches to the jaw, but unfortunately I held on. I didn't dare to hit his weak point, so I hit his ribs. One punch broke one, and when I hit the third one, it stabbed his ribs In the lungs. I saw pink foam coming out of his mouth, so I stopped attacking him.

"Really, I want to emphasize it again. I actually kept calm enough at the time... I didn't have any hatred with him, or maybe I owe him a little. After all, I also knocked out his girlfriend. If he If you don't do it, you will lose your dignity as a man.

"But it's a pity that our principal and school manager are never in the school. Otherwise, I really want to beat them up... but I just thought about it. Although I was only eight years old, no one would blame an eight-year-old child I beat all the teachers until they passed out with bare hands. But the big shots are unreasonable, so I am in a hurry, and their bodyguards will really shoot me... just like the assassin at the Aid Society a few days ago. "

While brushing his teeth, he patted his thick stomach.

It barely wobbles - that's almost solid.Muscle and fat are mixed together to form the best armor.

"To be honest, I wasn't that fat back then. If you really want to post it to me, maybe my stomach will explode.

"But now... Ordinary bullets may not be able to hurt me."

Seeing him bragging about his childhood again, the emperor's expression became a little more stable.

But soon, the expression on the emperor's face changed.

Because he combed his teeth with a low smile, he mentioned the name he was familiar with:

"But I have to say, talent——I think the difference in spiritual relatives can of course be regarded as a gap in talent. The gap in talent is irreparable, it is born with nobility... just like elves. Races are high or low , at a glance.

"—For example, the 'ultramarine' who is currently on fire. Do you really think this is a common hero?"

Combing his teeth, he grinned maliciously, "I don't think so.

"He is much luckier than me and you. In every sense.

"Do you know? He is not a commoner at all, but a close relative of the director of the head office."

Chapter 2 Breaking News

Hearing the words of combing teeth, there was silence in the studio.

Looking at the emperor who suddenly fell silent, Combs his teeth and blinked.

He couldn't help showing his iconic baleen mouth, and laughed in a low voice: "I thought the live broadcast would be cut off after I finished this paragraph."

"Is this a joke too?"

"No, I'm serious this time."

It's not so much fat, it's better to say that the strong baleen giant shrugged and made a low-pitched but loud enough voice that shook the hearts of others like a subwoofer: "Everyone knows that it doesn't cost anything to ridicule the untouchables. Because there is no One would consider himself a pariah, and no one would claim to be offended by it.

"But if it offends the director, it's different...Maybe I will be arrested in front of the camera, or I will disappear at home without a sound."

Combing his teeth laughed loudly, but this time, no one answered his words.

As he said, people were watching the show from all over Happy Island.With different emotions of contempt, expectation, or anger towards him, they waited for when the live broadcast would be cut off.
