Chapter 120 "Dream Eater" Trisino Seti
To awaken Nefertari...and to remind her of the true identity of the Bone Healer.
Annan didn't tell her everything directly.
Instead, he brought Nefertari directly to Benjamin.
Not as expected by Annan.
In other words, his previous intuition was really accurate - Benjamin personally confirmed Annan's guess.
"The Bone Healer" Seti is indeed the Pope "Tricino", a tragic writer.
And he's not been serving tragic writers for a day or two.
According to Benjamin, Seti was already the Pope of Tragedy writers, at least before he himself graduated.
"At that time, I wanted to learn the magic of the idol school, and Zedi Black Tower did not have a tutor from the idol school... I wanted to visit other wizard towers to learn."
Benjamin sat at the table, glanced at Nefertari who was silent, and turned to Annan and said, "At that time, I got the corresponding permission to call the information in the wizard's tower.
"It was mentioned inside, the deeds of 'Dream Eater' Trisino Seti. This is his golden rank occupation name... Miss Nefertari, you don't know his occupation name yet, right? "
Benjamin's tone spoke the facts calmly.
But it always gives the impression that you are mocking something.
"Because as long as you know the official name of the 'Dream Eater' profession, it's easy to associate it with what he does."
——Trisino Seti is a devil who feeds on the dreams of mortals.
"The brighter the original intention... When people forget and abandon it, the more powerful the curse will be."
Benjamin explained: "People are used to 'throwing away unrealistic dreams' as a means of survival. It's like someone who is out in the wild throwing money and jewelry out of their luggage to lighten their load.
"It's the act of exchanging 'something of great value' for 'the chance to live' - so it can also be seen as the greatest sacrifice. Made to live, to survive, to reach the goal with all one's heart and soul sacrifice."
Sacrifice "bright dreams" in exchange for "better reality".
The wizards of the idol school, all their lifelong desires are to compare themselves to gods.
This is probably the most spiritual school of wizards - they have to believe a thousand percent in themselves and think they can do anything. In other words, they must have a "god mentality" before they can have "god power."
Begin to worship an idol wizard, and his power will decline by at least half.
Frederick was like that, and so was Trissino Seti.
Gradually become "dehumanized", which all idol wizards cannot stop.
As long as the magic of the Idol School is used, they will continue to move in this direction...because that is their "purpose" itself.
Just like the wizards of the incapacitated school will gradually lose their feelings and become indifferent; the wizards of the prophetic school will gradually lose themselves in countless future possibilities and cannot distinguish the present, the past and the future; the wizards of the deprivation school will eventually go to modify their self-memory and The point of character; the wizard of the plastic school will change his body.
This is not the cost of the spell itself.
Rather, it is a curse based on fate.
Just as the body is strong, it is easy to be hungry, and the wisdom is doubtful.
In fact, a large part of the modern school of wizards is to unify similar "curses".
Like wizards who manipulate souls and minds, it is very likely that they will modify their own memory and personality-whether it is sucking the memories of other people's souls into the body, or finely cutting off emotions such as timidity or arrogance, the essence is the same. There is no difference.
They all touched the same taboo.
"As long as the idol school believes in gods, it means that they no longer fully believe that they are omnipotent. Their power to do almost everything will have a 'direction' according to different beliefs...
"Then why didn't Seti get weaker?"
Benjamin said meaningfully: "Still,
Has he become weak already? "
Nefertari got it wrong from the start.
Trissino Seti is indeed trying to get "four wheels in motion".
But his purpose is not to take the completed wish back to himself, the classical model of the "wishing machine". Nor did he fail all the time.
- He's been drawing power all the time.
He likened the students' "dreams" to sacrifices and himself to the gods who accepted the sacrifices. His students entrust themselves with their "now" treasured dreams, and he will fulfill their "future" wishes.
This came and went, and it seemed that no one was at a loss.
Benjamin got strength and his students got a good life. The only regret is the "original wish" that can never be forgotten in my heart and is always engraved on my heart like a scar.
Just like first love, it cannot be forgotten.
But in reality, what his students sold... was his original destiny.
Their dazzling wishes, if they follow their own path at will, they will naturally run into a wall, but it is even more likely that this fiery wish will be fulfilled after all.
However, Trisino Seti is deliberately changing their "original intentions".
--Yes.
It seems like an impossible paradox to exchange "dream" itself for "realization". But there are very simple shortcuts.
Just change a dream.
"It's not that he didn't pay the price, it's that he's still so strong, even with a painful price.
"That's why Trisino Seti only accepts young people as apprentices."
Benjamin pointed out the truth mercilessly: "It's not like a boy who likes to hold dreams, as he himself said.
"It's because the world subconsciously thinks that young people are immature and the dreams they hold are naive. People want to believe that as they grow up, one day their dreams will be changed... just like the ones that changed their dreams in the past. mess with yourself.
"It's the kind of thinking -- or the prayer that makes them think there's nothing strange about 'all of Trisino Seti's students have changed their minds in the process'. It's just a quirk at best. There will be two sentences, 'Seti is a monster that devours dreams', 'Seti has a curse on him' and so on."
——But there is no such curse in the world.
Benjamin sneered: "It's just a conspiracy.
"What kind of conspiracy is the most difficult to detect? That is a conspiracy that benefits everyone. Even if a keen person already feels that something is wrong, because they have a soup on their side, they will be safe and keep their mouths shut. ——Because once this tacit understanding is broken, let alone meat, maybe even soup can’t be kept.”
This is a clever conspiracy.
Or you can say "the general trend".
"The only special point may be Nefertari yourself."
Benjamin said this and looked deeply at Nefertari: "You are the only student who has fulfilled his wish.
"Since Pope Trissino did not interfere with your behavior... it means that you must have some irreplaceable speciality."
