Chapter 96 Seti's Curse

Husky tilted his head.

She glanced at the man curiously, but her mind hadn't turned around yet.

Why does he know my name?

The Husky thought of this and subconsciously looked up.

...and there is no ID floating in the air?

Ah Dian, who was beside him, suddenly realized something.

She wondered if this might be the big man who "will come tomorrow".

So Ah Dian turned around, looked at the man respectfully, and greeted tentatively:

"Ghirlandaio... my lord?"

The middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes turned his head and nodded calmly at Ah Dian: "Long time no see, Ah Dian."

"……Hey?"

The husky made a silly, confused sound again.

Ah Dian, who was beside him, put his hand on his face helplessly.

She actually doesn't think she's very smart... But standing with the husky, she becomes the smarter one instead.

Husky opened his mouth wide and blinked.

She gradually realized that something was wrong.

——She now wants to make an urgent post on the forum: I didn’t recognize the big boss who came to the grassroots for inspection, and even asked him if he could take over private jobs... In this case, if it was a girl If so, can you sneak in with cuteness?

"...I was just joking, boss."

The Husky tried his best to show a naive smile.

Fortunately, Gillandaio did not take her words seriously.

Although they have no memory of each other, Gillandaio seems to have known them well: "Where's Shisanxiang?"

"Well, he's... sleeping."

Ah Dian just wanted to say that he was offline, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say it.

So he can only euphemistically say that he is tired and sleeping.

Unexpectedly, Gillandaio just said clearly: "He should go back to your world.

"When can I come back? It should be the early morning at your place, right?

"Did Longjing Tea tell him that in this world, your body is regarded as sleeping?"

"……Hey?"

The Husky once again showed a dazed expression.

Although they already have a general concept of this world "not a game, but a different world". But hearing the aboriginal people calmly talking to them about "another world" made the Husky stunned for a moment.

Seeing that the "wise man"'s brain was again in a state of "running in the background", the girl with burning eyes suddenly laughed out loud.

She extended her hand to the two of them generously and introduced herself: "My name is Nefertari, hello... Braves from another world."

Having been in contact with Annan and the players for so long, Nefertari's initial misunderstanding of the players has naturally been resolved long ago.

She is a real "wise man" after all.

She also learned from this that the cost of players fighting nightmares was not as big as she thought; after they were eroded by the curse in nightmares, there were ways to save them.

Unfortunately, this is because of their special physique and cannot be popularized. The main members of the Hidden Eye are all otherworldly spirits who entered this world from the dream world and obtained artificial bodies. Maybe it's because when they entered this world, their spiritual bodies had been in deep contact with the dream world, and they were better at purifying nightmares than people in this world.

They seem to call this "the next book".

But as she said to Nieusser.

The achievements of the Hidden Eye should not be discounted just because the danger they encounter is not so great.

She still thinks they are all heroes.

From a young age, Nefertari firmly believed that an ordinary person who would be burned to death by fire, and an extraordinary person who was not afraid of flames, both rescued an innocent from the fire, and their achievements should be Are the same.

Although the former road of doing good is more difficult.

But neither should it therefore be assumed that the latter does less good than the former.

Even more should not be scolded for not doing his best because the latter only saved one person. I think the other party should save a few more.

For the rescued people, their mood when they see someone extending a helping hand has nothing to do with what the other party has given up.

What they care about is the fact that they are saved.

Only bystanders will comment on "what has this person sacrificed?"

It seems that only the hero who uses all his strength to defeat the Demon King is worth moving.

That's just a bystander's margin.

A person who only has ten silver coins donates nine silver coins to the victims, which is naturally worthy of praise; but if a person with a hundred gold coins comes out at this time and only donates ten gold coins to the victims, someone will scold the person in front of him. he.

Nefertari deeply understands... This kind of scolding is not beneficial to the situation, but will make other people with a hundred gold coins reluctant to shoot.

Even knowing, the people of the Hidden Eye will not be destroyed by nightmares.

She didn't hold grudges against them either - she had more confidence in Ghirlandaio's career.

If it was another person, it might be thought that "then what they did is no big deal".

But Nefertari would never do that.

Those who do good things should at least not be rebuked—

This is the life philosophy taught by Nefertari's teacher, Seti the Bone Healer:

The greater the power, the more one should do good and orderly.

But this kindness should be spontaneous, not forced by others. If you do it for the expectations of others, you will only usher in an increasingly heavy burden.

Because foolish people will always be stronger than themselves, and have almost blind faith expectations. Once the other party fails to meet them, they will be disappointed on their own accord. So, if there is no special need, never come forward and show your power at will.

"—The so-called prudent and self-preservation, this is the way of a wise man. If you have ten strengths, you can only give seven points at most; the remaining three points are the margins for your actions."

And Nefertari, who was only a teenager at the time, asked Master Seti a question:

"If we get power, we should also hide it.

"Then why did you pursue this power in the first place?"

Naturally, it is for the use of strength when encountering difficulties - Seti originally intended to answer this way.

But he was silent for a long time in the end.

Because Seti, the Bone Healer, has always been considered to have some kind of "curse".

He is the greatest idol wizard, the strongest healer in the underworld, and a ritualist with great power. Many children of great men, many geniuses and eccentrics, have learned from him.

but.

Anyone who becomes a student of Seti...

In the end, they did not fulfill their original dream.

not a single one.

Some even wondered if... Seti sacrificed the dreams of these children in exchange for their talents. But only Seti knew, he did nothing.

The moment he heard Nefertari's question, he was in a trance and vaguely realized something.

perhaps……

Is there something wrong here?

Maybe it really is a curse.

It's just that Seti didn't realize it...

That's... a curse called "Knowledge drives people away".
