âMaster Benjamin⊠Should I call you, Your Highness Benjamin, now?â Longjing Tea sat on the sofa and smiled at Benjamin who was sitting on the other side of the table, âHowever, you are my teacherâs teacher after all. In my tradition, I should address you as Grandmaster.â
âItâs just a title.â Benjamin put down the teacup and said in a low voice, âIâm not an Idol Wizard. You can call me whatever you want.â
Benjamin was different from other people.
Benjaminâs attitude towards Longjing Tea was unexpectedly good.
Benjamin placed the dark golden oval-shaped mirror he was holding in his arms on his table to the left. Benjamin also took off his papal robe.
Longjing Tea understood what Benjamin meant.
Benjamin was implying that his current identity was not a pope, but a wizard from Swampâs Black Tower.
After the destruction of Swampâs Black Tower, there were not many wizards from Swampâs Black Tower left. Salvatore was Benjaminâs most outstanding disciple, and Longjing Tea was Salvatoreâs eldest disciple. The relationship between them was still quite close.
âIdol Wizard⊠Do they care about titles?â
âYes. Very much.â Benjamin nodded.
âFor them, âtitlesâ are the root of all power. Whether it is name, position, title, alias⊠Idol Wizard can derive power from the attitude of others towards themselves. Similarly, their attitude toward others will also change due to the way others address them.â
He picked up a piece of snack and said casually.
Longjing Tea nodded, âAre you saying that if you were an Idol Wizard, your attitude toward me would be completely different depending on whether I called you Grandmaster or Pope?â
âNo. Itâs not âmy attitude towards you will be differentâ. Itâs that the one, who responds to you, is not the âsame personâ.â
Benjamin shook his head and gave an example, âYou should know that His Highness Annan is going to purify Justiceâs nightmare, right?â
âYes.. .but Justice is not an Idol Wizard, right?â
ââShield of Unfallenâ Justice is indeed not. But in his nightmare, âProfessor Wolfâ Frederick will inevitably appear⊠You know that Frederick was expelled from the Melvin family, right?
âFor Idol Wizards, the negative impact of being expelled is much more profound than for ordinary people â thatâs why it can become a punishment.â
In the Austere-Winter Dukedom, where âyou are born after you get your nameâ, being expelled was tantamount to being deprived of all rights as a human being.
But for Idol Wizards, being expelled would even damage their souls.
They would connect the âtitleâ together with the corresponding âidentityâ.
Benjamin explained, âWhen Frederick still had the surname Melvin, you could call out the divinity in his soul if you called him by the full name with the surname. When he was a Melvin, he is âthe Divine Child.â If one avoids his name and calls him by nicknames, only mortals can respond to him.
âThen, after he is deprived of the surname Melvin, he will no longer be able to use the power of âthe Divine Childâ. All the strength around âMelvinâ will disappear together.
âAlthough Destruction Wizard is recognized as the most dangerous profession, Idol Wizards are equally dangerous in my opinion. They are dangerous because they may lose themselves at any time.â
âI see.â Longjing Tea arrived at a sudden realization.
He had a vague understanding of it now.
To put it simply, if a regular person was like a game account that had multiple roles, then an Idol Wizard was like someone who would create a separate account for each role they played.
âIn other words, an Idol Wizard must plan his life well, right?â
âYouâre right. Idol wizards have no way of turning back. They have to keep going with the decisions they make. Once they give up a certain identity, it means that they give up all the strength they have acquired in this identity.â
âI see.â Longjing Tea murmured, âThen, I still have to ask Ah Dian to pay a visit to His Excellency Bone Healer.â
âAh Dian?â Benjamin asked, âIs that your friend?â
âShe is more or less my junior, and she has the affinity of Idol School,â Longjing Tea nodded, âSince Idol School has no way of turning back, it is natural to find the best teacher for her.â
âMy advice is donât go.â After a long silence, Benjamin frowned.
Huh?
Longjing Tea asked in surprise, âWhy?â
As soon as he spoke, he immediately reacted, âIs there a problem with the Bone Healer?â
âHis title before being âBone Healerâ Seti was âGray Professorâ Seti. Before that, he had another titleâŠ
âSeti is just his surname. His real name is âTrisino·Setiâ, the pope of the Deity of Murder and Conspiracy, Tragedy Writer.â
Benjamin said slowly.
How could mere mortals steal the power of the Man in the Mirror who âbecame a deity in the futureâ? Even the Man in the Mirror himself could not see through the futureâŠ
There was no doubt.
That would require Tragedy Writer to do it himself!
âTragedy Writer, also known as âthe Drunk Madmanâ, âthe Deity of Drama and Fableâ, âthe Lamenterâ. He is the author of âthe Law of Similarity and Prophetic Dreamsâ, âthe Law of Similarity and Drama Creationâ, and âthe Law of Similarity and Fableâ; he is the writer of the trilogy.
ââAt least on the path of the âLaw of Similarityâ, Tragedy Writer has gone farther than anyone else. They are also âthe creationâ and âsupreme crownâ of the Tragedy Writer when he ascended to a deity.
âAfter the Tragedy Writerâs ascendancy ritual was completed, His depth of research was far superior to that of everyone in the world. After His ascension until now, the law of similarity had not made any new breakthroughs. A family like Melvin, who studied the law of similarity, had been continuing the research back then.
âWhether itâs âthe Bone Healerâ or âProfessor Wolfâ, the law of similarity they master is directly inherited from the school of the Tragedy Writer.
âUnless you are learning occult knowledge from the Bone Healer, I donât recommend learning anything from him, especially Idol Wizardry.â
Their fate would be intertwined through the process of âteachingâ.
As Benjamin said, He looked in the direction where Annan was sleeping.
There were already points of contact or interaction between Annan and the Tragedy Writer.
Before Annan lost his memory, he escaped from Tragedy Writerâs conspiracy and made a bet with Tragedy Writer.
This fate seemed to be strengthened later. Annan should have seen the Tragedy Writerâs nightmare again or cracked His believersâ conspiracy.
The Tragedy Writer was not a paranoid power-holder.
He was an admirer of misfortune, fate, and coincidence⊠He was keen to watch the unfortunate fate of others and lament the tales. However, He also looked forward to a shining soul that could crush the overlapping conspiracies and achieve the epic of becoming a âheroâ against the momentum of âimpossibilityâ.
Whether it was the victory or the failure of the conspiracy, it would please Him.

After all, He was just a crazy âplaywrightâ.
âHe was just looking forward to more exciting stories.
In other wordsâŠ
As long as it was an interesting enough soul and fate, both were likely to be targeted by the Tragedy Writer.
ââAt that time, it is impossible to escape.â
