The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 977

[Chapter 20 Seeking a Possibility]

Hugo was not closely related to the gods.

The people who can know that Annan is the Tianche are basically the righteous gods, false gods, or people directly related to the gods.

Even gods cannot know things that have nothing to do with them.

Their ability to grasp Annan’s intelligence is related to the connection between “Black Annan” and the righteous gods during the first week.

It stands to reason that the owner of Hugo Tower should not know that Annan is the crane.

But Annan quickly realized…that this should be what Bernardino told Hugo.

There doesn’t seem to be a completely hostile relationship between them.

Just as Annan explained to Shisanxiang before – the friendships of young wizards are basically based on “talent”.

Because if the talent gap is too big, there will be almost no intersection in the lives of the two after graduation.

Considering both Hugo and Bernardino, both became the golden rank in the future.

And they are about the same age.

Maybe they had a good relationship when they were young… but as they got older they eventually took the opposite path.

“…Since the Book of Heavenly Chariot has been collected, it means that the Light of the Seventh Luminaries is finally coming.”

Hugo was silent for a long time before he whispered: “Unfortunately, I didn’t catch up.”

Annan knew what he was talking about.

With Hugo’s desire and ability, he was long overdue for approval from the Book of Truth.

But just like the reason why Annan came here – the old truths stored in the crane are no longer enough to be compiled into a book.

But…too late.

If he hadn’t had that fight with Bernardino, he might have waited until Annan completed the sublimation ceremony.

As long as Annan sublimates into a new crane, he will be able to get the fragments of truth immediately…and immediately be promoted to the rank of truth.

Even becoming a god and gaining eternal life and immortal authority is only a matter of time.

But it was too late.

“I have at most two months to live.”

The slender ghost said calmly: “This is a maximum value. Because the soul is transiently empty, after about forty days, I will gradually lose my mind because of the lack of soul.

“Even if you can instantly become the golden rank and soar rapidly…it’s too late. The rest of my life is not enough for me to collect all the books of truth.

“That is to say… I’ve been unable to catch up.”

Hugo is about the same level as The Man in the Mirror.

Whether it’s talent, desire, or something else, it’s the highest line.

The difference between them is that the person in the mirror can let go of the inheritance of the Howling White Pagoda – using the inheritance of the wizard’s tower as a bait to lure other wizards to help him complete the sublimation ceremony.

For the person in the mirror, it is undoubtedly worthwhile to use his life, future, dignity, inheritance of the wizard tower and everything he can give to verify whether his ritual is correct.

This ritual was originally invented by the Skeleton Lord and used once by the rotten, and the man in the mirror believes that it has room for optimization.

But this ceremony of replacing the book of truth can only be accomplished by the highest rank of the golden rank, who have completed all the deeds except the “prototype of truth”.

There is no possibility of his theory being put into practice.

The person in the mirror just thought – why don’t you experiment with yourself.

Fortunately, he finally succeeded.

If he failed at that time… I am afraid that his soul would have been floating in the gap between life and death, and be entangled in the pain of immortality and immortality for the rest of his life.

Until he was tortured to the point of forgetting everything and became a wraith that would never rest.

For the man in the mirror, he is first a wizard, a ritualist, and secondly the tower master.

But for Hugo, it was the opposite.

He was a tower lord first – a wizard second.

It was only later that Annan learned from Salvatore… The sacred fire passed down from generation to generation in the Black Tower of Zedi, and it even has characteristics similar to the stone of the sage.

It can be directly fueled by “wisdom”.

This means… if the Hugo tower owner at the time,

If you can be ruthless and burn all the wizards of the Black Tower of Zedi to death.

Not only will they not be the material for Bernardino to make the “Sage’s Stone”.

Instead, it can replace the soul of Tower Hugo’s owner and burn…to easily defeat Bernardino.

But Hugo Tower Master, in the end, still failed to be ruthless.

He would rather watch the wizards he taught, be killed by Bernardino, and then go to Bernardino desperately… He is reluctant to start burning them in advance as his “fuel”.

“Vatore-senpai” thought it was a senseless act of weakness.

She believes that it is human’s “feelings” that constrain the Hugo Tower Master, making him make judgments that are not rational and should not belong to the superior.

But Annan and Salvatore both believed that Hugo Tower Master was right.

Although in terms of results, you can undoubtedly get better results if you start by yourself… but not everything in the world can see results.

This is a classic trolley problem.

If it’s just for “better fruits”, take the lives of some people to save others.

In fact, it is to turn oneself into a balance and the supreme judge, to judge right and wrong instead of heaven.

That would undoubtedly be an act of arrogance.

The fundamental reason is that these students and tutors are not the “property” of the Hugo Tower Master.

He has no power to sacrifice what is not his own to save others.

They could choose to sacrifice themselves, but Hugo could not sacrifice for them.

Although consequentially speaking, it doesn’t make any difference… but killing someone to save someone is not the same as saving someone to kill someone.

It is precisely because of this that Annan will sit here calmly and discuss with the Tower Hugo owner “something that cannot be heard by Salvatore for the time being”.

“I’m sorry I can’t help you.”

Annan said slowly: “It’s too late… it’s too late.”

There was no guilt in his voice, just real and rational regret.

It wasn’t because of Salvatore’s mentor that he lost the chance to become a god.

It is this world that has lost a reliable “living pillar”.

Annan is pity for this world.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Hugo just shook his head and took his own death indifferently: “To live is to die. Even if I cannot become a god, it does not mean that my life is meaningless.

“The fire is passed on – as long as the initial flame is still burning until the end, those of us who are halfway ‘firers’ have value.

“I asked you to come… to seek a possibility.”

He said seriously: “Do you know, Your Majesty. The next generation of [Fire Stealers] should have been inherited by Benjamin Foster.”
