To wake Nefertari up and to alert her of who Bone Healer was, Annan didnât tell her everything directly.
Instead, Nefertari was brought directly in front of Benjamin.
It went as Annan expected.
In other words, his previous intuition was accurate. Benjamin personally confirmed Annanâs guesses.
âBone Healerâ Seti was Tragedy Writerâs pope, âTrisinoâ.
It was a recent event he served the Tragedy Writer either.
According to Benjamin, Seti had been Tragedy Writerâs pope, at least before Benjamin graduated.
âAt that time, I wanted to learn Idol Magic. Swampâs Black Tower did not have Idol Schoolâs mentor, I wanted to visit other wizard towers to learn it.â
Benjamin sat at the table, glanced at the silent Nefertari, then turned to Annan and said, âAt that time, I got the corresponding authority to access the information in the wizard tower.
âItâs mentioned in it, the deeds of âDream Eaterâ Trisino Seti. This is his Gold Rankâs professionâs name⊠Miss Nefertari, you probably donât know his profession name yet?â
Benjamin calmly narrated the facts.
However, it gave off a feeling as if he was mocking something.
âBecause as long as you know the official name of the profession, âDream Eaterâ, you can easily associate it with what he did.â
Trisino Seti was a demon who fed on the dreams of mortals.
âThe more brilliant the original intention⊠the stronger the curse that erupts when people forget and abandon it.â
Benjamin explained, âPeople are used to âabandoning unrealistic dreamsâ as a means of survival. Just like people, who survive in the wild, throw away money and jewelry in their bags to reduce their burdens.
âThis is the behavior of people exchanging âvaluable thingsâ for âchance of survivalâ. So, it can also be regarded as the greatest sacrifice. It is carried out for the living, for survival, and wholeheartedly to reach the goal.â
Sacrifice âbright dreamsâ in exchange for âbetter realityâ.
Idol Wizardsâ goal for their life was to make themselves a deity.
Idol Magic was probably the most egoistic wizard school. They have to believe in themselves fully, thinking they can achieve anything. In other words, before they acquired the âdeityâs strengthâ, they must first have the âdietyâs mentalityâ.
Idol Wizards, who worshipped deities, would have their powers declined by at least half.
Frederick was like this, and so was Trisino Seti.
Gradually becoming âdehumanizedâ was not something an Idol Wizard could stop.
Just using Idol Magic would keep the wizards going in that direction because that was their âpurposeâ itself.
Just like the Energy Falteration Wizards would gradually lose their feelings and become indifferent; the Prophet Wizards would gradually lose themselves in countless future possibilities, unable to distinguish between the present, the past, and the future; the Soul Snatch Wizards would eventually modify their memory and personality; the Shaping Wizards would even alter their bodies.
This was not the cost of the magic.
Instead, it was based on the curse of their fates.
As the body grows stronger, it becomes prone to hunger; as the mind grows more intelligent, it becomes easier to doubt things.
In fact, a large part of the modern school of wizards was to unify similar âcursesâ.
Just like the wizards, who manipulated the soul and mind, it was likely to go to the point of modifying their memory and personalityâwhether it was to absorb the memory of other peopleâs souls into the body or to finely remove emotions such as timidity or arrogance. The essence had no difference.
They offended the same taboo.
âAs long as Idol School believed in deities, it meant that they no longer fully believed that they were omnipotent. Their power in the concepts of âdoing anythingâ would be strayed toward a certain direction according to their beliefsâŠ
âSo, why didnât Seti get weaker?â
Benjamin said meaningfully, âOr, has he already weakened?â
Nefertari got it wrong from the beginning.
She thought that her teacherâs purpose was to let them come back to âannounce their victoryâ. However, the goal was to let them ânot coming backâ.
Trisino Seti was indeed trying to complete âfour rotating wheelsâ. However, his approach was not the classical model of âbeing a wish-making machineâ in which he fulfilled wishes and gained powers. At the same time, he was not stuck in failures either.
Most importantly, he had been absorbing power all the time.
He turned the âdreamsâ of his students into sacrifices for a deity. His students gave him the dreams they cherished ânowâ, and he would fulfill their âfutureâ wishes.
It appeared as if no one was at a loss.
Seti had acquired power, and his students got a good life. The only regret was the âoriginal wishâ that would never be forgotten in their heart. The starting wish remained in the heart like a scar.
Just like first love, no one could forget it.
However, in reality, what his students were selling was their original destiny.
If they proceeded with their dazzling wishes along their paths, they might face setbacks, but there was a greater possibility that this burning desire would be fulfilled in the end.
However, Trisino Seti was deliberately changing their âinitial heartâ.
It was a paradox of paying their dreams to realize their dreams. The logic seemed flawed but there were simple shortcuts.
That was to change it to another dream.
âItâs not that the students didnât pay the price, but they paid a heavy price, while they become strong.
âThatâs why Trisino Seti only recruits young people as apprentices.â
A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.
Benjamin pointed out the truth mercilessly, âItâs not like âyouth who likes to dream,â as Seti proclaimed.
âItâs because people subconsciously think that young people are immature, that the dreams they keep are childish. People want to believe that as they grow up, their dreams will one day be changed. In a way, they want other people to be like in abandoning their starting dreams.
âIt is this kind of thinkingâor this wish that makes them not think that there is anything strange about [All the students of Trisino Seti changed their original intentions during the learning process]. At most, it will be mentioned in the chit-chat, [Seti is a dream-eating monster], [Seti has a curse on him], etc.â
However, there was no such curse in the world.
Benjamin sneered, âItâs all a conspiracy.
âWhat kind of conspiracy is the least likely to be discovered? It is a conspiracy that benefits everyone. Even if a keen person already senses something is wrong, he will stay quiet for his goals and benefits. Once this kind of tacit understanding is destroyed, they wonât be able to get any benefit.â
It was a brilliant conspiracy.
Or perhaps it had followed âthe trendâ.
âThe unique exception may be Nefertari yourself.â
Having said this, Benjamin looked deeply at Nefertari, âYou are the only student whose wish has been fulfilled.
âSince Pope Trisino didnât interfere with your actions, it means that you must have some kind of irreplaceable unique property.â
