The Righteous Player(s)

Vol 2 Chapter 22: Prisoner of the Black Tower

Burn your own soul... and turn it into a fire of inheritance.

Even Annan couldn't help holding his breath.

He quickly realized that the ceremony performed by the Hugo Pagoda itself was also a "fire that was not ignited for oneself."

He has burned out his wisdom-for a wizard, wisdom is basically the whole life.

As for his life that was about to end, his soul, elements, and magic are meaningless things that are about to die...but only at this last moment will they become extra valuable. thing.

It's like charcoal burned in a kiln.

But what really surprised Annan was the behavior of the Hugo Tower Master who planned to give the holy fire to Salvatore.

"...Sacred fire?"

Annan frowned: "If I remember correctly, Hugo Pagoda Master, you just mentioned... The Holy Fire is the energy source of the Zedi Black Pagoda, right?"

If the sacred fire is lost, it must be burned by the tower master. It's just like the Hugo nowadays-it's stuffed into a cabin, and it's just hanging on the top floor.

With the power of the "fire thief", the sacred fire is used to supply energy to the Zedi Black Pagoda. When Hugo got out of the device, the entire Zedi Hei Pagoda stopped spinning.

If the torch is also given to Salvatore... that probably means that Kaizisar will also lose his freedom completely and become a living battery.

Of course, Annan felt that Salvatore shouldn't hate this kind of life.

Because after entering that device, the mind of the tower master can control the Zedi Black Tower like an arm. For example, today this "thin and tall ghost" is a "physical illusion" created by the master Hugo tower using the power of the Zedi Black Tower.

Moreover, the power from the Zedi Black Pagoda can feed back the owner of the Pagoda and protect his body for him. There is no need to eat or drink water to sleep and excrete, just like falling into a dormant state in a space capsule.

In this way, Salvatore will not have to worry about lack of sleep, and will gain a stable spirit.

For Salvatore, who has been tortured by lack of sleep... it may be a relief. Because this can avoid his curse, and also make his mind sober.

He can also stay steadily in Zedi Black Pagoda and continue to conduct research in order to solve the difficulties of others. This seems to be a good result for everyone.

...But Annan still feels something is wrong.

"If the price of the sacred fire is to be given to him, Salvatore will always be the energy pillar of the Zedi Black Tower... I think this still has to be told to him."

Annan clasped his hands and ten fingers in front of his abdomen, leaning back on the chair slightly.

In a lazy posture, but he said serious words in a deep voice.

"Even though I think he would agree and rejoice. He was even prepared for it a long time ago-but it's not the reason I was able to make a decision for him.

"I think... you should understand me too."

What Annan said was just like the decision made by Pagoda Hugo at the time.

Should we sacrifice the mortal to save ourselves?

Even knowing that the victim may agree to let one's own life that will inevitably die is more valuable... But it must also be confirmed by the other party or someone who can speak for the other party.

Although it is a bit unlucky to say that... but the best example is like organ donation of the deceased. This is indeed a good thing. Most of the deceased will agree to it, but if this is done without the deceased and his family’s knowledge or consent...

Even if its result is for good, it is also an evil in itself.

There is no direct connection between evil deeds and evil consequences.

Annan doesn't want to do this kind of "incomplete goodness" anymore. After all, he now has the ability to do what he has to do to perfection.

Although the possibility is unlikely, if Salvatore really suddenly wants to go out and have a look instead of being sealed in the wizard's tower, then Annan is actually a kind of harm to Salvatore.

Maybe Salvatore doesn't care about it, but Annan must take this into consideration.

After all, people will change too-he may not care now, but he may regret it decades later. This kind of decision that will completely change his life is better for him.

Since his last life, Annan has already regretted this kind of "decision to others".

Of course...considering from another angle, it is precisely because Annan attaches great importance to his friend Salvatore that he is so cautious. If it was someone who Annan couldn't even remember his name, he wouldn't necessarily care so much.

"--So, if you want me to hide from Salvatore and determine his future without his knowledge...I think I will refuse."

Annan said seriously: "It has nothing to do with correctness, but he should have the right to know about this-anyway, the curse you signed with him is over now, right?"

"It was originally over. My wisdom has been completely burned out, and now I rely on the holy fire to think, but... if I want to follow this ritual and give all of me to him, this curse will still be maintained. ."

Pagoda Hugo sighed: "Originally, the soul cannot be given to others at will, so the sage stone is so necessary. The elements cannot be traded at will... But there is a loophole in this curse, and he did not restrict me. 'Only' to burn his wisdom. Since this ritual can burn the illusory concept of wisdom and talent, it can also be made into a new model."

"In other words, this ceremony may not be successful yet."

Annan concluded: "This is similar to the ceremony of the man in the mirror."

"...Yes, this is also an experiment. An experiment done with my own life."

The Hugo Tower master nodded calmly and said: "I won't hurt Salvatore. If something happens... at most I will have it. This is actually similar to what Michelangelo did. It was just that he decided at the time. Self ascends, and I decided to let Salvatore ascend for me.

"But ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it's not that he is selfish than me, nor is it that I am nobler than him.

"It's because the twin towers were originally [gate], a gap between the mirror and the reflection; while the black tower is [fire], emphasizing the inheritance relationship between the fire and the fire. Our roads are not the same."

The thin and tall ghost image knows what Annan is worried about, so he chuckles.

"Don't worry... Don't worry that Salvatore will be tied to the black tower of Zedi for the rest of his life because of the lack of the Holy Fire. Rather, the Holy Fire must be given to him-only in this way can he complete the [four rounds of rotation] ]."

The Hugo Pagoda said something amazing.

From the very beginning, his purpose was to create a god-but that **** was not himself.

Annan was startled slightly, then nodded slowly.

He already understood the idea of ​​the Hugo Tower Master.

Even though Salvatore has not yet been promoted to gold... but he himself is the only maker of the sage's stone. With the sage's stone in hand, he does not need to consider the issue of [the perfect essence of the element].

He can easily extract his elements into perfect form.

And as long as he can complete the sage’s stone, take over the work of Nicholas II, and completely complete the research and development of the new poisonous dust... he can use the identity of the "orthodox heir of the Hermetic school" to achieve [creative work] .

Nothing is more worthy of this achievement than "inventing the method of making the Stone of the New Sage".

With the death of Nicholas II, Salvatore is now the only alchemist-alchemists can also advance to gold. Then after Salvatore advances to gold, he will naturally complete the [Supreme Crown].

So, Salvatore lacks only two things.

——That is [Four Wheels of Operation] and [Prototype of Truth].
