Chapter 2529 The Story of Kolos
Angel motioned Little Tom to go aside and stay with other gifted people so that they could get to know each other in advance.
Little Tom suppressed his excitement and nodded with some trembling.
He was not excited because of his talent, he had no idea about his talent yet, but because he had understood what Angel meant at this time, that he was going to guide him to join the wizard organization!
This was a great opportunity for Little Tom! Because the blood and sea of hatred he carried was not just the little leader he flattered every day before.
The reason why he only took that leader as the target of revenge was that with his ability at the beginning, he could only reach the level of the leader at most, and that leader was just a pawn, and hidden behind him were the extraordinary knight guards, the huge princess castle, and the even more invincible Guman royal family.
Before, he had never thought of taking revenge on such a behemoth, but now it was different. As long as he joined the wizard organization, he had a ticket to enter the extraordinary hall. At that time, even if he could not shake the entire Guman royal family, he could kill a few more enemies to avenge his hatred.
Therefore, even if Angel had not consulted Little Tom from beginning to end, Little Tom was not only not uncomfortable with the restrictions, but was full of gratitude to Angel.
Little Tom bowed deeply to Angel. The other party not only saved him from the hands of the gargoyle and gave him the opportunity to revenge, but now gave him the opportunity to grow further. He could not express this kindness in words, and could only express his sincerity in his heart with a long and deep bow.
After Little Tom left, Dox took a deep breath and said with emotion:
"I was thinking about whether I could intercept him from you, but now seeing his expression towards you, it is probably difficult." Dox paused and looked at Angel: "You and I obviously came to the Royal Girl Town together. When and where did you kidnap this talent?"
Angel: "You are not a natural wizard, why do you intercept him? As for his origins..."
Angel did not hide it and roughly recounted the process of meeting Little Tom.
After listening, Dox couldn't help but sigh and said, "So you met him after we separated. He met the right person. If I had followed him at that time, he would not have been able to detect my existence."
Angel: "..." Although Dox didn't say it clearly, Angel felt offended.
Dox looked at Angel staring at him, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't say that your hiding ability is poor. What I mean is that my hiding ability comes from the shadows and the earth. Unless I use special perception methods, as long as I stand on the ground and blend into the darkness, I will be completely integrated with the surroundings. No matter how strong his inspiration is, he can't sense my existence."
So, even if he met Tom first and made the same tracking choice as Angel at that time, it is highly unlikely that there will be any follow-up.
Angel understood Dox's explanation, but he still felt that Dox said it on purpose, in fact, he just wanted to show off his hiding ability.
Looking at his smug face now, you know that this guess is basically correct.
Although Angel wanted to say something to suppress Dox's arrogance, he finally held back. The fact is that he was indeed noticed by Little Tom. Even if he explained that he used very simple illusions at that time, it would be better not to say it now.
Besides, he got the benefit after all. Little Tom became a gifted person in the Savage Cave, instead of being a wandering apprentice with Dox.
Thinking of this, Angel looked at Dox: "Didn't you comment on the gifted people in the Savage Cave one by one? Since you have done it, you might as well have a beginning and an end, and Little Tom should not be left behind."
How could Dox not understand that Angel said this on purpose, and it seems that his previous evaluation of this group of gifted people was still remembered by Angel. It's just that Angel may not care at that time, but now that Little Tom, a gifted person, has appeared, he immediately has the motivation to fight back.
This spirit is not much different from the rumored Sanders. No wonder they can become master and apprentice.
Dox complained in his heart, but nodded on the surface: "Okay, let's have a beginning and an end."
After Dox said this, Angel directly unlocked the sound barrier on their side, so that the voices of their conversations could be heard by the talents not far away again.
Dox rolled his eyes at Angel in annoyance, and then said: "Ahem, since I have commented on other talents before, I can't leave out this little Tom. Okay, I will also talk about his situation."
After saying this, all the talents immediately pricked up their ears.
Dox: "If nothing unexpected happens to little Tom, he will probably be the most likely person among your talents to be promoted to a formal wizard..."
Dox did not deliberately say bad things, but expressed his true feelings. After all, he had said before that he wanted to "intercept" little Tom's words, so saying bad things was equivalent to indirectly criticizing his own vision, which was obviously unwise.
After a few more compliments, Dox stopped talking, and then signaled to Angel with his eyes: Is it okay now?
Angell was straightforward and directly re-arranged the soundproof barrier in response to Dox's signal.
"How dare you let them listen." Dox looked at Angell: "Aren't you afraid that they will target Little Tom?"
Angel looked at the talented person over there who was already feeling a little turbulent, and said nonchalantly: "As I said before, being targeted is not necessarily a bad thing."
Doakes: "Okay, that's understandable. But aren't you afraid of little Tom's wandering thoughts?"
When Doakes said this, Ms. Mello also showed a hint of worry and whispered: "Hearing too many good words is not a good thing."
Seeing Doakes and Ms. Mello staring at him, Angel wanted to say: What does it have to do with me if he drifts away?
However, he still held back. After all, there were still Ms. Mello and Crouch beside him. It was a bit bad for him to be so ruthless.
After sorting out his words, Angel replied very officially: "Recognizing and overcoming mental barriers is also a kind of experience."
"Besides, little Tom may not be mentally disturbed by this." When Angel said this, he glanced at Little Tom in the distance. The other person may be a little at a loss at this moment, but at least he doesn't have too much baggage in his heart at this moment. .
Doakes: "Why do I always feel that your words are a bit irresponsible."
Angel: "Really? I'm looking at it from my own perspective. I've heard a lot of good things before, but I haven't reached this point yet."
When Angel said this, Doakes choked up instantly.
Angel is the fastest-promoting wizard in recent years, and he is also the most popular figure reported by major magazines in the past period. Because of this, Doakes knows very well what kind of public opinion Angel has suffered in the past two years.
After he came into contact with the mysterious level as an apprentice and became a member of the Research and Development Institute, almost all wizard magazines opened their titles with this topic, with all kinds of praise and almost no bad words.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is deliberate flattery.
But Angel was not dazzled by the public opinion at all. He quickly broke through the big barrier, became the referee of the Rising Stars Competition under the name of Super Dimension, and reappeared in front of people.
It can be said that Angel used his personal experience to prove what he said: mental obstacles can also be regarded as a kind of experience. The higher you hold it, the harder it will fall, and it may even soar into the sky.
But can Angel and Little Tom compare?
Doakes wanted to ask this question, but then he thought about it and wondered why they couldn't be compared? In terms of age, experience, and experience, Angel is not much better than little Tom.
Thinking of this, Doakes really had nothing to say. Angel has recounted his own experience, can he still refute it?
Obviously, no.
Moreover, Angel also made it clear that he viewed Little Tom from his own perspective. He can do it, why can't little Tom?
Therefore, Doakes could not refute.
On the other side, Ms. Mello was also convinced by Angel. Angel views Little Tom with his own standards, which is also a kind of respect. As long as Little Tom himself doesn't get lost, that's all.
"Let's stop talking about little Tom. What will happen to him in the future depends on him. It's just too much to speculate about his future now." Angel said lazily: "Let's bring the topic back. Well, doesn’t Grouch want to tell a story? Since Ms. Mero is already here, let him tell it.”
Gloss, who had been ignored, silently said in his heart: It's not a story... it's my experience...
"The story of Colossus? What do you mean?" Ms. Merlot didn't know what happened at this time.
Angel: "Listen to him yourself."
Everyone looked at Gloss, who took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
However, he did not immediately start to talk about his experience. Instead, he apologized again and placed the blame on himself.
Ms. Mello's reaction was almost the same as Angel's, and her thoughts were basically the same. Gloss has a certain amount of responsibility, but it is definitely not the main responsibility. It is actually quite good for him to face his inner guilt at this time.
Moreover, Ms. Melo even felt that her responsibility was greater than that of Gloss. After all, she represents the face of the Savage Cave, and it would be a breach of responsibility for her to be arrested. Moreover, since she became the leader of Colossus, she was neither able to protect him and other gifted people, nor did she make correct form judgments. This in itself was also her mistake.
After returning to the Savage Cave, Ms. Mello will also report the situation and take due responsibility.
"It's too early to talk about responsibility now. Everything will be decided accordingly when we get back to the Savage Cave. Let's talk about your own affairs first," Ms. Mello said.
Gloss nodded and then began to describe his experience.
After everyone listened, they understood why there was a relationship between Colossus and the princess.
To put it simply, the experience of Goros is somewhat similar to that of White Bear. It is also one of the various tragedies caused by the arbitrariness of King Guman and the cruelty of the royal family.
Colossi's father was once one of the deputies of the minister of discipline in the kingdom.
The so-called minister of ethics and discipline is actually in charge of the atmosphere and discipline of the kingdom, and the atmosphere includes the spread of literature and art.
And Colossi's father was in charge of literature and art.
Grosz's father was well aware of the situation in the kingdom and understood that King Guman was an arbitrary person and would never allow an open and free literary and artistic atmosphere. Therefore, he strictly controlled the art and literature aspects, and was therefore very popular with the Minister of Discipline. favor. It stands to reason that a person like him who regards ethics as his top priority and is extremely precise will not become a tragedy affecting the royal family.
But unfortunately, the opera performance approved by Golos's father was fine at first, but later the author of the opera was exposed to have had contact with dissidents in the kingdom. This behavior angered King Guman.
The opera author and all the actors and behind-the-scenes workers who participated in the opera were affected, and a large number of people died. Golos's father was also implicated and executed because he approved the release of the opera.
It can be said that what happened to Golos's father was an unpredictable natural disaster.
Fortunately, because Golos's father was smooth and trusted by the Minister of Discipline, the Minister of Discipline also gave him a break, and did not punish the whole family directly like other criminals. Golos's father took the criminal responsibility alone, while the rest of the family only collected their property and demoted them to a marginal province, and they could not enter the capital for several years.
The above is the current background of the Golos family.
Back to the topic, because Koros's father was once the trusted deputy of the Minister of Discipline, Koros had direct or indirect contact with many descendants of the royal family or ministers when he was very young.
It was also at that time that Koros met Modia, the daughter of the eldest princess and the current owner of the Princess Castle.
Modia was only three or four years old at that time, and she was already quite domineering. She would forcibly occupy anything she liked.
However, because Modia was very cute, many people just laughed it off at that time.
And Koros was also deceived by Modia's appearance at first, thinking that she was a cute sister, and often took the initiative to give her some things.
Later, Modia suddenly said that she didn't want other things, she just wanted Koros as a person!
At that time, Koros thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect Modia to be serious.
However, it is also said that good and bad are interdependent. It was also at that time that Koros's father had an accident, and Koros was demoted to a marginal province, which allowed him to avoid a direct conflict with Modia.
But so many years have passed, and Koros has been living in the marginal city. When he almost forgot about Modia, Modia came to him again.
At this time, Modia has become the owner of the Royal Town.
