"Yes. Saint Mo Yu said that he would leave as long as the inheritance here is stable." Parado hesitated for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Losa, "Grandpa, if... I want to go to the land of the Chinese Tower, is it okay? I think Master Garo is right. What's the point of practicing so much skill just to hide in this place? Look at the masters of the Secret Sword Tower. Except for occasionally going out to do things, they stay in the Sword Tower most of the time. Aren't all their skills wasted
"I don't want to hide in this corner for the rest of my life after I become capable. Grandpa?"
"You're thinking too much now." Lothar said irritably, "By the way, how long have you been in the Berserker Tower?"
"Two and a half months. I'm already a low-level mad swordsman. Although I don't know any powerful swordsmanship, I'm not an ordinary person. Saint Mo Yu said that mad swordsmen are born to challenge higher-level fighters. If I were outside, I might be able to deal with a mid-level warrior. Look, grandpa!" Parado raised an arm that was already full of muscles. He shouted softly, and white madness overflowed from his body. He walked out of the house in two steps and punched the ground. With a bang, a hole was blown in the mud. Such a punch is enough to kill an ordinary strong man.
Losa was somewhat delighted, but thinking of what Mo Yu and the others had said, he did not praise Parado as usual, but said, "Just practice hard and don't worry about those messy things."
Parado did not give up and said, "Grandpa, don't you want to go to the Chinese Tower? We have talked with a wizard there several times through the communication array. People with skills like you will be very popular there. They will arrange for you to work in a place called a factory. The money you earn can live a good life. The house you live in is made of stone and metal, with transparent windows, meat to eat every day, and your home will have its own water, light and fire. When you go out, you will have a carriage driven by magic crystals. They all told us."
"You believe a kid's bragging?" Losa said disdainfully.
"Impossible! Even Saint Mo Yu said this is true. She said her previous home was like this!"
"Instead of thinking about random things, why not go to bed early and keep your spirits up so you can continue practicing tomorrow?" Losa was originally going to hit Parado on the head out of habit, but when he saw the big hole on the ground, he patted his head for some reason instead. "You can't think too much, or you won't be able to live a good life."
"But, Grandpa, you once told me that I should look further ahead, not just at the few steps ahead. Isn't that the way to the Tower of China?"
This time Losa did not reply, but returned to his room.

More than two months later, when Parado returned home, he brought a piece of paper to his grandfather. It was an invitation that read, "Welcome to the Crazy Sword Tower Achievement Exhibition at 10 am in two days."
Lothar was literate. In fact, most people in the village under the Sword Tower could read to some extent, but he was confused by the contents of the invitation.
He didn't really understand what the exhibition was in the first place, and the results made him even more confused.
Parado said, "The result is naturally our progress. Saint Gao Wen asked us to practice well and let us fight when the time comes. Recently, they have not only increased the amount of basic training for us, but also taught us a lot of practical experience. I think Saint Mo Yu's intention is to let you see what we have become after five months of training. Not only you, they seem to want to invite people from the Secret Sword Tower. It's just that those people from the Secret Sword Tower don't seem to like us very much. They have avoided us for the past few months."
"They have no idea what Saint Mo Yu is doing." Losa said. He did not tell his grandson that Elder Hain had come to him three times, always asking about what kind of training his grandson was receiving.
Although his family had a good relationship with Elder Hein, Lothar did not say everything. He secretly felt that the people in the Secret Sword Tower had become weird and did not do things uprightly since Mo Yu came. On the contrary, Saint Mo Yu would clearly say what he was going to do.
Therefore, he only told Elder Hain that Parado was training seriously, but he was unclear about the details.
"Grandpa, will you go?"
"Of course, how could I not go to your business?" Losa replied.

Two days later, in the morning, Parado arrived at the Sword Tower before dawn and built a wooden platform with his classmates in the small square in front of the Sword Tower.
Mo Yu now has more than a hundred apprentices under his command, and they have sufficient manpower. They started early in the morning and built the wooden stage in just three hours. There is also a white screen behind the wooden stage, which is a wooden frame with white cloth stretched on it. Under the wooden stage, they used long wooden strips to build long benches as the audience seats.
At around nine in the morning, the invited villagers started arriving one after another. Losa also arrived early, bringing his family with him and sitting with several neighbors.
Lothar was actually a little curious whether the big shots from the Secret Sword Tower would appear here.
At nearly ten o'clock, he saw the gate under the Secret Sword Tower opened. Saint Amaranto, Saint Ivette and several elders also appeared in the square. For some reason, they did not sit in the front, but in the middle of the audience area, right next to Lothar. Elder Hein saw him, greeted him, and sat down next to him.
"Losa, it looks like the kid Parado is going to be in the spotlight today," said Hein.
"His strength is very low now, but fortunately he has found his own way. But I still want to thank you, you helped me a lot before." Losa said.
"It's nothing. If the teacher were still here, he would be very happy to see this scene. The Secret Sword Tower and the Mad Sword Tower are both part of the Sword Tower." Hein said.
"Do you really think so?" Losa asked in a low voice.
"Why do you ask?"
"Many people in the village are saying that you don't like Saint Mo Yu and his people. Especially since they want to take away the entire Sword Tower, you must be very wary, right?"
"This..." Hein glanced at Amaranto and Yvette. The two saints must have heard the voices here, but they still stared at the front. "What are your thoughts, Losa?" (To be continued)
