The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 978

[Chapter 21 The Fire That Wasn’t Lighted for Himself]

“I know about this.”

Annan nodded and continued: “Later, in order to save his first love from the rift in time and space, Benjamin gave up it and chose the path of the Pope instead?”

“You are wrong.”

Unexpectedly, Hugo gave a negative answer: “Actually, it was after this. It was not that he voluntarily gave up becoming a fire thief… but at that time, he had lost his ability to become a thief. Qualifications of the Fireman.

“Benjamin’s character is a perfect fire passer… He can sacrifice his own happiness for others, and he will not feel pain for it. This is the quality necessary to obtain the gold-level profession of [Fire Stealer].”

…A profession that acquires the golden rank requires some kind of special character trait in addition to the element adaptability?

Annan was also a little surprised.

But he thought about the “Victory Knight” who also had skills at the golden rank, and he felt that he could understand.

“There’s only one reason why Benjamin didn’t inherit [Fire Thief], and that’s because we got Salvatore. He’s the perfect successor.

“That’s why Benjamin became his mentor.

“Before this, Benjamin was already disgusted with wizards who were full of ‘egoistic’ styles. He came to me and said that he didn’t want to take any more students… because he didn’t want to see the kind of people who were for his own benefit. researcher.

“He knew there was nothing wrong with thinking like that. But he just didn’t like it. I won his plea.

“But after that, Salvatore entered the Black Tower. It was for him that Benjamin became a mentor again.”

Hugo said seriously: “Your Majesty, you are Hugo’s most reliable friend. After I die, this secret will be handed over to you to guard.”

“…Keep secrets?”

“Yes, keep secret for Salvatore’s curse.”

“and many more……”

Annan frowned.

He realized the weight of the question: “Isn’t Salvatore’s curse [Reflection without sleep]?”

The reflection of the good is the scabbard of the devil.

The spell “Reflection that never sleeps” is one of the ten “Reflection” spells.

The person who can fit the reflection curse must be a person with a certain pure and good quality.

Because this was originally a ritual for hatching demons… It was only later transformed into a curse.

Hugo asked back: “We don’t want a demon to be born from his corpse. How can we give him such a dangerous curse when we don’t know that the skycar will come to this world?”

“…So, what is the truth?”

“Salvatore actually has a double bond. In addition to the Reflection Curse when he entered the Bronze Rank, he has another bond that he himself has forgotten… It is this bond that gives He has the qualifications to become the ‘son of the tower’.”

That’s why, Salvatore himself can’t remember exactly when he became the son of the tower.

He’s always thought he was lacking in talent — in fact, he’s right.

“This is a curse handed down from generation to generation by our Zedi Black Tower, and its name is [fire not lit for oneself]. This curse can be traced back to the old living desert, which stole the third radiance of the sun. The elf sage Prometheus.

“He engraved his will on this profession, and hopes that his successor can replace himself and become the eternal light.”

Hugo said solemnly: “Its requirements are that [you cannot profit from the knowledge taught by your tutor], and you cannot know this curse, and you cannot doubt your motives.

“It’s an ongoing spell… the longer it lasts, the more benefit Salvatore can get.

“As the ‘fire follower’ who conferred this spell on him, I’m actually just the custodian of the fire. The fire of my wisdom will gradually flow to him through this spell… That is the power of the third light – A bright fire that burns forever.

“Precisely because this power requires perfect goodness,

We will give him the ‘Reflection’ curse.

The intent is to ensure Salvatore’s ritual goodness—that is, we don’t expect Salvatore to always act for others.

“But if the spell of reflection is established, then it is no longer Salvatore who breaks the ritual, but his reflection. Then the spell will continue to be established.”

Annan finally understood.

It turned out that from the very beginning, the existence of the reflection was to “release” Salvatore’s psychological pressure.

She was a scapegoat to be angry for Salvatore, to be “selfish” for Salvatore.

As long as Salvatore can’t control the shadow… Then when the shadow comes out to vent, it can take away the pressure in Salvatore’s heart.

Because Benjamin told him that it was “another personality” and “the devil that destroys the world”, it was impossible for Salvatore to take the initiative to release it.

——It’s like he can’t take the initiative to fall asleep during the day, so he can only find someone to knock himself out.

This is actually the exact same idea.

As long as Salvatore is not willing to release the shadow, then the sin of the shadow does not belong to him.

But what they didn’t expect was… Salvatore used his kindness and reason to forcefully suppress his reflection.

Although they are all good people, they are still fundamentally different from them.

Salvatore…a pure good in the true sense of the word.

“Yes. The shadow called out by the reflection ritual is the dark side of the personality…it is an irreversible primitive instinct.”

Hugo nodded solemnly: “I didn’t expect that Thrall’s child could actually achieve this level…”

Amazing kindness.

With goodness and reason alone, without any “restriction”…you can completely suppress all your selfish feelings.

It’s like someone who doesn’t know how to think about himself.

Annan suddenly recalled… Theoretically, it should be “Sister Valtore” who is the complete opposite of Salvatore. Beneath that irritable and irritable personality, there is also a hidden kindness and kindness to others that are not easily noticed— – Generally referring to Annan’s goodwill.

At that time, Annan thought it was “the malicious intention of honest people buried deep in their hearts” that was turned into kindness by the reflection ceremony.

Annan is still strange… I can’t see that Senior Thrall has a level of malice in his heart that can make “Sister Valtore” have a “visible kindness”.

It was only now that he knew.

His judgment was correct.

Salvatore really did not have that kind of evil in his heart.

Because the kindness and humanity that Valtore’s personality holds… is not “reversal”, but “overflow”.

While Salvatore maintains 100% pure goodness, he can also part with the shadows.

It is precisely because of this that “Vatore-senpai” can not become a “very evil demon”, but has a complex personality more like a mortal than Salvatore.

“…I didn’t expect that he still hasn’t broken this shackle up to now. Among the tower masters of all dynasties, I am the only one who was spared by this shackle.

“I have always acted as the energy storage tank of the Zedi Black Tower…not because I have such an obligation as the tower owner, but because I don’t want Salvatore to perceive my intelligence Degraded. I’m afraid I’ll fall even while walking.

“If I leave the external thinking ability of the Holy Fire, I can’t even cast spells. Not to mention the fine-tuned transformation mixture.

“That’s why I have Benjamin as his mentor under my ‘master’. Because under the erosion of this curse, my wisdom is now inferior to that of a farmer, let alone teaching Salwar. Torre mastered the art of alchemy.

“That’s why I use myself as the core of the operation of the wizard tower – and use the endless flame that originally powered the Zedi Black Tower to assist my own thinking. I just use projection to appear in the tower and reduce the thinking load. At the very least. Only then can I remain rational.

“Of course… a large part of the wisdom flows into his shadow.

“But that doesn’t matter. Salvatore’s shadow, even human. I think, maybe it’s because Salvatore has some kind of ‘divineness’. He’s special – unlike me, he Should be a god.

“In that case, I intend to help him.”

Hugo said slowly.

Annan took a deep breath.

He vaguely realized that he was about to witness a miracle.

He said cautiously, “What do you want to do?”

“I’ve burnt out my wits, why can’t I burn anything? So, I decided to burn my soul and prepare for a big ceremony.”

The Hugo Tower Master said in a deep voice: “Give all my soul, elements, magic power – and the last sacred flame passed down from generation to generation in the Zedi Black Tower… to Salvatore.”
