The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 23: Hugo the Fire Bearer

[The Prototype of Truth] is the Book of Truth. This can only be seen in appearance, and there is really no way to obtain it actively.

But as the new Nintendo, Annan is Salvatore's only friend, so this is the least need to worry.

The only thing left is [the movement of four wheels]... which is his unique perpetual motion machine.

Of course, it is a perpetual motion machine. But as long as this demand is not to "extract power from the world", but to have its own independent energy source, it doesn't matter even if the scale is not very large or it will be exhausted in the long future.

As long as it can be added manually.

For example, when driving the Bone Master's action "Death of a Nation", the energy generated by these souls is his [Four Wheel Movement]; and the energy generated after they are transcended becomes necessary for the Sin Absolver to become a god. [The movement of four wheels].

But with Salvatore's road and stubbornness, if he wants to complete the operation of four wheels alone... I'm afraid he will really be stunned to develop a perpetual motion machine.

This is what really kills him. Because Salvatore really accepts death.

"That's why the sacred fire must be given to him."

Master Hugo Tower replied: "The holy fire of the Black Tower of Zedi is the 'endless fire' extracted by Prometheus using his own flesh and blood as fuel and wisdom as fuel.

“But just as two people exchange wisdom, it will not make their own wisdom disappear; using wisdom to light the holy fire will not make their own wisdom disappear...On the contrary, they can gain countless new knowledge.

"As long as I continue to study, think, and learn, the Holy Fire will burn forever. Even though I have lost all my wisdom now, as long as I continue to extract the wisdom of my ancestors from the Holy Fire, I can give I add more wisdom.

"Just like firewood and firewood close together, the fire will become stronger and brighter. This is the way of the Black Tower."

Having said this, Hugo paused slightly.

Then he said something that Annan had to pay attention to: "Your Majesty, what you may not know is...the sacred fire preserved in the Zedi Black Tower was the main energy source for maintaining the unified barrier in the past."

"What?"

Annan was slightly startled.

He really didn't know about this - Annan knew about it in the older past. In that era when the gray fog was still very thin, the elves had not yet built a large barrier, and the holy fire from the Holy Fire Tower alone was enough to dispel the gray fog.

But he thought that the Great Barrier was another more advanced technology... He never expected that it was actually an optimization of the Holy Fire Tower.

However, once he heard Hugo Pagoda Master mention it like this, he quickly reacted: "So that's it... The reason why the elven sages in the past meditated in front of the sacred fire platform was to provide food for the great barrier. Can?"

"Not really."

As the only mortal in the world who may understand what the "holy fire" is, Hugo patiently explained: "The wisdom collection range of the holy fire is very large. The holy fire of the Black Tower of Zedi can collect the wisdom of the apprentices of the entire wizard tower. Energy. The Holy Fire Tower is a huge copper cup that is at least thirty meters high and at most eighty meters high. Its maximum radiation range can even reach a radius of twenty kilometers.

"The reason why those great sages think under the Holy Fire Platform is not to provide energy...but they think that this can resonate with other people's wisdom and provide inspiration for themselves. Of course, it is impossible with their distance. ...This is just a superstitious self-comfort. If you want to get wisdom from the holy fire, you must at least be immersed in the holy fire."

"...Wait a minute, is the collection range of the Holy Fire so large?"

Annan was keenly aware of something: "In this case, the collapse of the great barrier..."

"You guessed it right. At least half of the reason is because the cauldron cannot be sustained."

Master Hugo sighed and told Annan this secret that probably only the master of the Zedi Black Tower knew: "It was not because during the **** battle, the holy fire platform was extinguished due to lack of support... This is just a rumor.

"Because even the wisdom of strategy, conspiracy and debate can also be used as nourishment for the holy fire. The holy fire does not only burn pure, philosophical and artistic wisdom... Although its color and smell will depend on the fuel And change, but as long as it is wisdom, it can be used as fuel to keep him burning.

“Whether it is the wisdom of war, the wisdom of farmers and fishermen, the wisdom of thieves and robbers, or the wisdom of adventurers surviving in the wild...as long as it is the wisdom of a gathering and political 'civilized race', Anyone can continue the Holy Fire—even humanoid races with low IQs. The minimum standard is that they have written texts of their own race."

As long as you think near the Holy Fire Tower, the "sparks of wisdom" that burst out will make the Holy Fire burn brighter.

"In fact, it was the Holy Fire Tower that went out first, which led to the collapse of the Great Barrier. Then there was the 'bloody battle'. It was later historians who used rituals to detect the time and blood when the Holy Fire Tower went out. When the battle started at about the same time, it was judged that the wise men had no intention of taking care of the holy fire during the **** battle, so the holy fire would be extinguished.

"This truth is actually very simple. If you think about it...if the thinking of wise men can maintain the holy fire, then not everyone will defect to the great barrier supported by the righteous god."

Hugo said so.

... Indeed.

Annan nodded.

If the wise men debate and brainstorm, they can maintain the continuation of the Holy Fire Tower. They can move several Holy Fire Towers, place them in a circle at the four corners of the city gate, and then hold debates in the center of the city every day. Just insert a few university library research centers into the four corners.

It can also dispel the gray fog, so why does it have to be a big barrier?

In that case, their war goal will change from fighting for occupation rights to fighting for the cauldron.

But the fact is... there is absolutely no one to carry those heavy torches.

No one even pays attention to them. To this day, these scattered torch towers are still tourist attractions in various places.

"It turns out that the Holy Fire Tower was extinguished earlier than the Great Barrier..."

Annan murmured.

Not waiting for Annan to continue thinking, the master of Hugo Tower continued: "With so many sacred fire towers, their lives all come from the Black Tower of the Zeland. All it takes is a wise man at the level of a 'madman' to sacrifice voluntarily, He can carry the holy fire to other places.

"The specific method is to immerse yourself in the holy fire and perform the 'Fire Bearer Ceremony'. Afterwards, their whole bodies will burn... but the flame will not make them feel hot, but will make them calm. .

"And this flame will quickly burn away their wisdom and the mysterious knowledge they have learned. What they have to do is to use the method of hiking to get to the target holy fire platform before they are burned out, and sit upright on it. The next part of the 'Fire Bearer Ceremony' is held on the cauldron.

"They will lose their lives quietly in this holy fire. And their corpses can burn seven times the time it takes for them to pass the fire. After the corpses are burned out, the holy fire platform is complete and can be passed on again. Fire... spreads the holy fire further.

"All holy fires originate from the 'original holy fire' of Zedi Black Tower. In the past, the spiritual monk came to me to ask for the holy fire, hoping to become a 'fire bearer'.

“He is the Philosopher’s Stone~IndoMTL.com~ and he is also the fire bearer, and he also has many souls hidden in his body... Then he can use the Philosopher’s Stone to activate the elements of the soul, activate and awaken these souls ; Then use the wisdom of these souls as fuel for the holy fire to keep it burning; and use the endless power of the holy fire to heal yourself... In this way, you can achieve immortality.

"The only time you really need to consume the Philosopher's Stone is at the very beginning. Once the cycle is completed, the system he invented will allow him to hold unlimited life, unlimited magic power, unlimited resurrections, unlimited The power of the elements - the only requirement is to possess the 'Soul Element' and develop it to the limit, and have many 'Sage Souls' when you have the Philosopher's Stone in your hand."

He first collected the souls of these wise men in order to use them to support the Holy Fire.

This is the true path for the spiritual monk to become a god.

It was through this act of the spiritual monk that Hugo realized the value of the holy fire.

In addition to being the energy source for the Black Tower in the Zeland... it also has the possibility of becoming a perpetual motion machine.

It is impossible for him because he cannot "think all the time". As long as the holy fire leaves the Black Tower of the Marshland, without the wisdom of those apprentices and mentors as offerings, the holy fire will go out while he sleeps.

But Salvatore is special.

——He may sleep, but he never stops to think.

Because... while he was sleeping, there was another "Salvatore" who was still awake!

"I don't want him to become the master of the tower and a prisoner of the black tower. But I want to send him into immortality - not to create a god, but to make a pure and kind person like Salvatore Become a god."

Hugo replied firmly: "I think we pass on the fire from generation to generation... probably just for this moment."
