MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 998 target
No longer relevant, in other words, there is nothing to say. Cheese didn't know what Sleeper and Wynette were going to say. One of them was Gray Robe, who majored in dreams, and the other was a psychic professor from the City of Ten Thousand Laws. There would be many intersections in both knowledge and interests.
It wasn't accidental that these two met, like you're always hanging out in the forest and sooner or later you'll meet a genie, or a wild boar and something. As a dream walker who is not restricted by geographical factors, the sleeper should have many friends like this. Even though she may not leave the room for a week, she may not even be very awake, but she is never blocked when it comes to seeing and hearing. Those distant scenes, from the dreams of others to her eyes, came alive.
Without the sleeper, Cheese had no intention of lingering in the dream. He walked out of the room and jumped down towards the bottom of the tower over the fence of the spiral steps. In the next second, he woke up from his seat of reality. Severe emotional fluctuations such as falling, severe pain, and fear in dreams can easily wake people up. In fact, the mage also has other gentler self-awakening methods.
However, jumping from the middle of the steps has always been one of the things that Cheese wants to do. It's like a kind of impulse. When you see a cliff, you can imagine yourself falling from it. Fear is born from this, but when you know for sure that you won't be hurt, fear may turn into the pursuit of excitement.
The expression on Cheese's face is not sure whether it is heart season or pleasure. This feeling is similar to when he deliberately folded his wings and swooped down from the air when he turned into a bird. There is a different place to experience it with the human body.
Shaking his head lightly, he shook off the summary of his whereabouts. He got up and looked at Mrs. Winette, who was still dreaming. There was a smile on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that she was very satisfied with the current dream. Gray robe silently bowed and exited the room. It was night, and the candles in the empty laboratory were not fully lit. The dim corridor reminded him of the Grey Tower, where there were also many such times. Walking in this darkness, Cheese was not afraid.
Coming out of the research institute, the stars in the sky are dim, and the moon is not very bright even though it exists. That's because the flickering lights and fires from the summit and other major areas overshadow the natural skylight. The City of Ten Thousand Laws may be the most civilized city in the Pan-North Continent. The civilization here does not have the meaning of praise or criticism, it is a reference to the degree of humanity.
Different from the rushing seas and rivers, Wanfa presents a highly developed humanistic style, and it has a clear theme and core. Although the six schools are different, they are still six branches on a big tree. all around this city. If magic develops in the future, it is not impossible for schools to merge, split or re-establish.
Cheese turned his head and looked in the direction of the platform on the top of the mountain. In addition to the light, there was a faint sound of people's voices. The previous ten thousand methods were not so lively. Mages are also human beings, and they also enjoy the noisy side, but they are more natural than others in their living conditions. These existences influenced by books and knowledge require different occasions. Now that they have created the occasion themselves, it is conceivable that this day will become a festival that repeats year after year throughout the city.
"Hidden away from the crowd, independent from the world, and gathered in the mountains and forests, now it seems that a new option has emerged. A country created by spellcasters, different from the secular regime. It seems that this part will be taken into account when teaching students in the future. It has been corrected, so I am indeed witnessing history." Cheese chuckled lightly, retracted his gaze, and looked beyond the mountain peaks, where there is no distant scenery, only a little mountain fog.
The smile on Gray Pao's face was fleeting, he thought of the sleeper's words, and his thoughts returned to the home where the snow and ice were flying. There will never be a day like this for the Grey Tower, which was determined when it was completed.
That tower and its inhabitants were doomed to be alone, mages and others. The frozen wasteland is indeed not suitable for anyone to live in for a long time, which is not in line with human nature, especially after they know that the world outside is not like this.
"Perhaps the Gray Tower really shouldn't have a second owner." Cheese frowned slightly and whispered. In addition to being the owner of the gray tower, the master of the gray tower also has the ability to be recognized by other gray robes.
This is not a hard requirement, but a practical need. If the same sect cannot be convinced, the gray robes are bound to go their separate ways. At that time, what really distinguishes them from other mages will also dissolve. Maybe the symbol of gray robe will disappear in a few decades, and it will really become a legend that the old man can't remember. It is true that fame is not what they need, but everything the first gray robe has done is so scattered, and they do not want to see it.
So disputes arise. Cheese instantly understood another meaning of this conflict. It was not only due to the anxiety and confusion of the gray robes, nor was it simply due to the pursuit of the teacher's legacy. It is also a dispute that determines the future of the entire gray tower and all gray robes. Each gray robe has its own set of logic, and they will have different expectations for the future of themselves and their colleagues.
The problem now is that the abilities of the gray robes are too strong, and their ability to achieve their expectations is too complete, and there is no need for the ancients to complete the construction of the city little by little. As long as he becomes the next master of the gray tower, then the person who has the support of his peers can easily fulfill his expectations.
These include expectations, breakthroughs in personal research, ambitions for secular power, or the construction of systems of knowledge transmission. Now the Greys have returned to their tower because it symbolizes that.
"If they realize that this will not be satisfied, the people who have lost the flag will no longer be nostalgic." Cheese stepped forward and habitually muttered to himself. There seemed to be a scene of the gray tower collapsing in front of him. In the distance, the tower that was like a beacon of his life was gradually tilting and collapsing, crumbling. Without the gray robe, the gray tower is nothing but a magical building.
"Ah, power. I thought we didn't have to be limited by this. From now on, it might just be an illusion. The self-proclaimed sensible spellcaster didn't build this pyramid by himself."
Cheese suddenly felt very anxious, and wanted to return to the gray tower in the next second, turning his disappointment into words and questioning his fellow students. But on second thought, he seemed to have seen the expressions that everyone didn't listen to.
Empty accusations are unconvincing. If you want to change the situation, you must either join a certain faction or come up with a convincing plan yourself. And also have the responsibility to make them a reality.
Do you have this responsibility yourself? There is no doubt that Anleena wishes he had, and her actions have almost made her position clear. But is what she wants also what Cheese wants?
What if Cheese didn't want to be the next Clark, lead all the Greys, be their advisor, or even mentor? Without the moon, every star would have to find its place, even in the boundless universe with no reference.
"Anyway, the sleeper is right. To make your voice heard, you need to demonstrate feasibility. Feasibility comes from strength, and no one will listen to a ragged, sickly, incompetent person. Isn't this a matter of course? Oh, if I'm the most inconspicuous one in the gray robe, why should I make irresponsible remarks?"
