Chapter 447 Isaac Flamel

Once Annan started thinking about it.

His wisdom turned into a sharp blade, cutting through the gaps in memory. Many hidden truths are revealed in front of your eyes——

The god who modified the memory of "Nicholas II" but did not delete it was Javon's obedient stone father.

So here comes the problem.

—Why him?

Father Shi was a sculptor before his death. In the era when there was no "Idol School", what he mastered was the "magic power in sculpture", and he could be regarded as half an idol wizard.

But he has never mastered the skills of the Soul Seizing School, nor has he ever possessed powers related to memories and dreams.

So, why is it up to Father Stone to carry out this task?

Could he really be unable to clear the memory of Nicholas II?

Or……

Hermes send poisonous dust, can it really only be made by him?

Annan might have recognized this reason before.

But now, Annan has peeped into the memory of Nicholas's heart, and finally knows one thing.

Why was Nicholas called Hermes II? Why is he the only one who can manufacture many ancient products of the Hermes School?

This is not because of his extraordinary talents.

It's because...the stone slabs that record these products happen to be things that only the top "Tower Master" can view and learn!

"... Nicholas Flamel ignited the soul and advanced gold more than a hundred years ago. But at that time, he did not succeed the master of the tower... It was more than a year later, he It was only then that he suddenly became the son of the tower, and succeeded to the position of the tower master at an extremely fast speed."

This is the story about the "Hermes II" that Salvatore told Annan a long time ago.

Looking back now, Annan should have noticed the real problem as early as this time...

The so-called son of the tower is the one with the highest talent among all the apprentices, and its talent must surpass the master of the tower himself. All wizard towers maintain their own renewal through this method.

At that time, why wasn't he the master of the tower?

This can be seen from the elements of his awakening.

He wished he had awakened the elements of [wisdom] or [understanding], but he didn't.

This is actually unreasonable.

Because he is from the Jade Tower... The Jade Tower itself is a tower of knowledge, and all wizard towers hold the most orthodox inherited knowledge:

In the formal method of inheritance, it is possible to "dye" one's own soul and modify one's natural element tendency by accumulating a large amount of high-level mysterious knowledge in the same field when advancing to gold.

Because the aborigines in this world don't have system panels like Annan and can see their own elements.

Before they change jobs, they cannot be sure what elements they will awaken.

If it is a warrior with compassion elements, or a wizard with courage elements, then there will be a big problem.

And if there is no artificial dyeing.

——Then the attribute of the element they awakened is the "desire" itself that pushes them to advance to gold.

It can be seen from here.

When Nicholas was promoted to gold that year,

He didn't discuss it with anyone at all - especially his mentor. His extremely strong desire for "victory" can even push him to promote gold and finish dyeing.

At that time, his talent was not enough to make him a son of the tower.

But later, he suddenly became the son of the tower—and succeeded the tower master.

There can only be one reason for this.

I'm afraid he used the elements of victory... to attack the tower owner.

As for this speculation, Annan searched Nicholas' memory a little bit, and he was able to confirm——

At that time, there were only two golden-rank transcendents in the Jade Pagoda.

One is Nicholas.

The other one is Nicholas Flamel's teacher and adoptive father - Isaac Flamel, the tower master of the previous generation.

Although Nicholas didn't like his father, his father had already taken care of him. The reason why he was sent to the Jade Tower instead of other places is because he has a relative with the same surname as "Flamel", who is here in the Jade Tower.

After Nicholas expressed his talent in the third year of entering the Jade Tower, he was accepted as an apprentice by Isaac Flamel. But in fact, before that, he was also secretly taken care of by the tower master.

Nicholas has been deeply thoughtful since he was a child.

He never exposed his unlikable side to the outside... He concentrated on absorbing all the knowledge he could get his hands on, and kept the ideas passed down by the Jade Tower in his heart.

Therefore, he has gradually been recognized by Isaac.

Things changed when he communicated with Isaac not long after he advanced to Silver——

"...First I must tell you."

Isaac replied: "There is no 'perfect thing' in this world."

When he was young, Flamel replied firmly: "That's why we want to sublimate everything in the world to a perfect state - this is the concept that our Jade Tower has passed down to this day, isn't it?"

"Maybe it used to be."

Isaac sighed: "But I don't think so anymore."

"……why?"

Flamel asked in disbelief.

Isaac turned around and replied calmly: "Because this world needs ordinaryness.

"Not everything has to be perfect, it's a goal that can never be achieved... because there is no 'perfect' in this world, only 'better'."

"Even the Philosopher's Stone that is being taught, can't it be called perfect?"

"That's right."

Isaac's emerald green pupils shone with the brilliance of reason: "Even the immortal gods, with the boundless starry sky above their heads, and the land under their feet that bred many lives and buried many dead bodies, are far from being perfect.

"We follow perfection only because of our own imperfections. We consider everything that is 'more perfect' than us to be great... Only by walking in that direction can we continue to sublimate ourselves.

"It's like walking towards the lighthouse in the dark wilderness. But we don't really want to reach the lighthouse... because wandering in this dark sea of ​​truth is a kind of happiness in itself."

"However," Nicholas subconsciously retorted although he was shocked by the idea that "the gods are not perfect." "If perfection is a trend, then as long as we keep going forward, we can reach perfection."

"But we can't keep going forward because we will go backwards one day."

"Then... what if they regress and fall?"

"Then get up again. After awakening from failure, we will become stronger... One day, they will forget the lesson learned from this failure and enter a darker night. But they will eventually wake up."

Isaac shook his head and said calmly: "History is like this. History is an upward spiral. It has a rising period, and there must be a falling period; just like the sun rises, it will set.

"What we have developed, the truth we have discovered, may one day be lost in the future. But in the farther future, people will continue to move forward in our corpses... This is what it means to be human, and this is history meaning."

Hearing this from my adoptive father and respected mentor.

A vague idea came to Nicholas' mind.

But at this time, he hasn't realized... what he is aware of.

He just asked subconsciously.

"So... what if we stop history from falling?

"If the world keeps getting better, can we reach 'infinite perfection'?"
