The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 79: Fountain of Light
"This is also my first time to use this ability."
Annan frowned and carefully described the experience of using this resurrection ability: "My feeling is...it's not like reshaping your soul and body separately. It's more like holding an invisible rope. As I dragged your soul back from 'under the sea', your body emerged from a burst of light at the moment when my soul was dragged back."
"That should be the power of the light world."
Hugo raised his right hand while explaining to Annan.
Following a black-red refined brilliance, the black-red wizard robe was crafted from the air by Hugo, covering his body.
"In the final stage of the sublimation ceremony, you need to abandon the material body to achieve the complete sublimation of the soul; and there is a spring in the light world, which can give the soul a physical body of corresponding strength... In fact, I have done research, Your Majesty Annan, The method of resurrecting those followers is related to the ability of the light world."
"I know this."
Annan nodded.
Different from "night", "earth", and the children of night and earth who are born with divinity. It is almost impossible for a mortal to jump to that perfect form... The so-called way of sublimation is to use tricky methods to achieve this "impossibility".
Just like in side-scrolling games such as Contra, dense mechanisms may cause two people to die repeatedly. In this case, it is better for one person to die first and let the other person concentrate on passing the level. Wait until the difficult obstacles are overcome, and then resurrect the first person... This way, you can save lives to the greatest extent.
The sublimation ceremony is like the "body" carrying the "soul", sending the soul to normal circumstances in a posture of selling Yoshi - or in other words, a made-up "goral flying" posture. The highest level that cannot be reached. Then through the "resurrection" characteristic of the light world, a perfect body can be procured directly from the light world for free.
From this point of view, Annan's resurrection ability... is actually very close to the sublimation of a god.
"When I use the resurrection ability, the power consumed in the first stage is related to the length of returning the soul to the perfect form; it has nothing to do with the level of the resurrector itself."
After Annan used his resurrection ability, he summed up his experience: "I can actually hold off halfway and then let go... In this case, Hugo will be resurrected in the form of a middle-aged or older man, and I will consume more power. Less. It doesn’t matter whether the soul is damaged or intact... unless the soul is damaged not before death, but before. This seems to be closer to a time-level ability.
"But in the second stage, that is, when the body is reshaped by imitating the fountain of the light world, the power consumed is related to the rank."
This Annan is too familiar.
——Because the consumption in the second stage is exactly the same as when resurrecting the player!
But something strange is...
"The cost of shaping your body is about the same as resurrecting a Silver-level transcendent. But my resurrection ability should be to restore you to your perfect form... What you look like now as a teenager is Your 'most perfect' gesture."
"Indeed. At this time, my soul is still filled with the fire of hope that will never go out. There should be no problem with your ritual...because I am now a Silver Ranker."
Hugo, who returned to his teenage form, held his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully: "That's it. In the previous ceremony, I had resigned as the master of the tower... and lost Zedihei. If I was resurrected without the ownership of the tower, I would not be able to become a true 'Fire Thief'. Just like the 'Captain in the Stone' that your Majesty knows, she also needs the treasure ship's silver to be considered a gold-level Same...the tower master also needs a wizard tower in order to be called the tower master.
"Although I still have the power of the elements that have been awakened, I can't use it for the time being. My soul is now like a colored liquid... I probably won't have to choose a new spell when I advance, but You still have to advance again.
"And, because Salvatore will become the new 'Fire Stealer,' I have to find a new career."
"That's it," Annan suddenly realized, "But fortunately, I prepared in advance."
As he spoke, he handed Hugo a silver necklace: "I actually prepared gold necklaces, rings, earrings, belts, and bracelets. But I also considered the possibility that you might lose your career. , so I also prepared an extra silver necklace...is that okay?"
"It's good. I used a belt for my previous spell, because my curse tattoo was on my back before. But now, it seems that due to your influence, my curse tattoo has been transferred to my chest... This sun-shaped curse I already know its specific effects. To me, it’s not a big deal."
Hugo said, putting on the silver necklace and stuffing it into his clothes.
He did not hesitate at all and said directly to the people present: "The two curses that I advanced to bronze and silver will be handed over to you to keep secret.
"The first is, 'I will listen to the needs of anyone who asks me for help'; the second is, 'I shall not murder anyone who has shown no hostility to me.'"
After Hugo said this, the curse pattern gradually melted and shrank, and was re-bound into the silver curse carrier.
"Sounds good!"
Annan on the side praised: "It's not an easy-to-trigger curse."
"Indeed. Because my bronze-level curse only told me that I 'must listen' but did not say that I must do it, nor did it say that the other party was not allowed to interrupt on their own. So at most, they might be separated during the battle. To me, there are no side effects."
The young Hugo nodded and showed a gentle smile: "And my original gold-level curse was 'I cannot use extraordinary power to do evil'. This curse is almost the same as the silver-level curse, and To include it...that's the 'overlapping spell' technique that we wizards like to use.
"But now, I have lost this curse. When I advance to gold, I will choose you as the secret keeper."
"... Mr. Hugo seems to talk a lot."
Issac, who was watching the excitement with his arms folded, said abruptly.
When Hugo heard this, his smile became even brighter: "That's true, Sir Isaac!
"I must thank His Majesty Annan for the gift. A person starts from the starting point full of dreams and gradually moves to the end of abandoning his dreams. Finally, he has the opportunity to return to the original starting point. What kind of miracle is this?
"This is a second life for me. And I am no longer bound by the 'Black Tower of the Zeland' and can do what I want! It is rare to have such a miracle... I must seriously consider this. How can I avoid wasting my second life? How can I help others and improve the world to the greatest extent?"
The young Hugo said and bowed to Annan seriously: "I will never embarrass you. I will never waste this life..."
Salvatore on the side took "Vatore" back~IndoMTL.com~ came over a little awkwardly and said: "Then I have to thank you too, Annan.
"No, I really want to thank you seriously. I thank you for saving my teacher... When facing death, I was so powerless. But this time is different, because you are here By my side."
As he spoke, he handed Annan a dark gold ring entwined with two snakes.
He coughed lightly: "Don't take the angry words you just said seriously... If I remember correctly, you have to go underground this month. But now I have to start preparing to advance to gold and officially take over. Zedi Black Tower. If you are in danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to teleport over to help you..."
"Do you still want to teleport here to help me?"
Annan laughed instead: "I am already at the gold level, but you are still at the silver level. Do you want to send it here?"
"Since you can teleport me there, of course I can teleport you here too——"
Salvatore said unconvinced: "I just said that! This is a metaphor, a metaphor...
"——Anyway, in short, you have to face other gold-level transcendental beings this time. I don’t know if you will encounter any danger, so you should wear it first. Even if nothing happens to you, if If something really happens to you and I can't help you, I will feel guilty for it for the rest of my life."
Salvatore said seriously: "This is the highest masterpiece that Shadow and I have worked hard to produce during this period... Take a look at it. You will not be disappointed."
