The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 21: A fire that is not lit for oneself

"I know 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 said it wrong."

Unexpectedly, Hugo gave a negative answer: "Actually, it was after that. It was not that he voluntarily gave up and became a fire stealer... but that at that time, he had already lost Qualifications to become a fire thief.

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

... To obtain a gold-level profession, in addition to factor adaptability, do you also need some special personality traits?

Annan was also a little surprised.

But after thinking about the "Victory Knight" who also had skills that could be used at the gold level, he felt that he could understand it.

"There is only one reason why Benjamin did not inherit [Fire Stealer], and that is that we got Salvatore. He is the most perfect successor.

“That’s why Benjamin became his mentor.

"Before this, Benjamin was already disgusted with those wizards who were full of 'self-interested' style. He came to me and said that he no longer wanted to teach students... because he didn't want to see that kind of wizard who was just for himself. People who study for the benefit of others.

"He knows that there is nothing wrong with such thinking. But he just doesn't like it. I won his request.

"But after that, Salvatore entered the Black Tower. It was for him that Benjamin became his mentor again."

Hugo said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are Hugo's most reliable friend. This secret will be handed over to you to keep after my death."

"... keep it a secret?"

"Yes, keep the secret of Salvatore's curse."

"Wait..."

Annan frowned.

He realized the weight of this question: "Isn't Salvatore's curse the [Sleepless Reflection]?"

The reflection of goodness is the egg sheath of the devil.

The curse of "Sleepless Reflection" is one of the ten "reflection" curses. A person who can fit into the curse of reflection must have a certain pure and good quality.

Because this was originally a ritual used to hatch demons...but it was later transformed into a curse.

Hugo asked: "We don't want a demon to be born from his corpse. How could we give him such a dangerous curse when we didn't know that the sky carriage would come to this world? ?"

"...So, what is the truth?"

"Salvatore actually has a double curse. In addition to the reflection curse when he advanced to the bronze level, he also has another curse that he himself has forgotten... It is this curse Binding gave him the qualification to become a 'Son of the Tower'."

This is why Salvatore himself can’t remember exactly when he became the Son of the Tower.

He always thought he had insufficient talents - and in fact, he was right.

"This is a curse passed down from generation to generation in our Black Tower in the Zeland, and its name is [Fire that is not lit for oneself]. This curse can be traced back to the living desert in the past, which stole the sun's first The elf sage Prometheus of Sanyao.

"He has engraved his will on this profession, hoping that his successor can replace him and become an eternal light."

Hugo said solemnly: "Its requirement is that [you cannot profit from the knowledge taught to you by your mentor], and you cannot learn about this curse or doubt your own motives.

"This is a continuous spell...the longer it lasts, the more benefits Salvatore will receive.

"As the 'Father of the Fire' who bestowed this curse on him, I am actually just the custodian of the fire. The fire of my wisdom will gradually flow to him through this curse... That is the third The power of Yao - the bright fire that burns forever.

"It is precisely because this power requires complete goodness that we put the curse of 'Reflection' on him. The purpose is to ensure Salvatore's goodness during the ceremony - that is, We do not expect Salvatore to always act on behalf of others.

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

Annan finally understood.

It turns out that from the very beginning, the existence of reflection was to "release" Salvatore's psychological pressure.

She was angry and "selfish" for Salvatore... the scapegoat.

As long as Salvatore cannot 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 a "demon 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 him out.

This is actually the 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 rationality to suppress his reflection.

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

Salvatore... is a pure and kind person in the true sense of the word.

"Yes. The shadow summoned by the reflection ritual is the dark side of personality... It is an irreversible primitive instinct."

Hugo nodded heavily: "I didn't expect that kid Sal could actually do this..."

Amazing kindness.

With kindness and rationality alone, without any "restraint"... you can completely suppress all your selfish feelings.

It's like a person who is born without knowing how to think about himself.

Annan suddenly recalled... Theoretically, it should be "Senior Salvatore" who is completely opposite to Salvatore. Under that irritable and irritable personality, there is also hidden kindness and kindness that is not easy to detect. Goodwill to others - generally refers to Annan's kindness.

At that time, Annan thought it was "the malice buried deepest in an honest man's heart" that was turned into good by the reflection ritual.

Annan is also surprised...it is impossible to tell that Senior Sal has a degree of malice in his heart that would allow "Senior Vatore" to have "visible kindness".

He only knows the result now.

His judgment was correct.

Salvatore does not have that kind of evil in his heart.

Because the kindness and humanity held in Vatore's personality... are not "reversed", but "overflowed".

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

Because of this, "Vatore-senpai" can not become a "very evil devil", but have a complex character that is more like a mortal than Salvatore.

"...I didn't expect that he has not broken this curse until now. Among the tower masters in the past, I am the only one who has been distracted by this curse.

“I have always acted as the energy reservoir for the Black Tower of the Zeland...not because I have such an obligation as the master of the tower ~IndoMTL.com~ but because I don’t want Salvatore to notice my intelligence Degeneration. I’m afraid I’ll fall even when I walk.

"If I left the Holy Fire's external thinking ability now, I wouldn't even be able to cast spells. Let alone the fine preparation of the transformation mixture.

"This is also the reason why he has me as his 'master' and Benjamin as his mentor. Because under the erosion of this curse, my current wisdom is not as good as that of a farmer, let alone a teacher. Salvatore 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 holy fire that originally powered the Black Tower of Zeland to assist my own thinking. I just use projection to appear in the tower and The thinking load is reduced to a minimum. Only in this way can I maintain rationality.

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

"But that doesn't matter. The shadow of Salvatore is even human. I think maybe this is because Salvatore has some kind of 'divineness'. He is special - and I Different, he should become a god.

"In this case, I plan to help him."

Hugo said slowly.

Annan took a deep breath.

He was vaguely aware that he would witness a miracle.

He said cautiously: "What do you want to do?"

"I have burned out my wisdom, why can't I ignite something more? So, I decided to burn out my soul and prepare for a big ceremony."

Master Hugo Tower said solemnly: "Give all my soul, elements, magic power - and the last sacred fire passed down from generation to generation in the Black Tower of Zeland to Salvatore."
