Chapter 576: Dream Eater Trisino Seti
To wake Nefertari up and to alert her of who Bone Healer was, Annan didnt 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 Annans guesses.
Bone Healer Seti was Tragedy Writers pope, Trisino.
It was a recent event he served the Tragedy Writer either.
According to Benjamin, Seti had been Tragedy Writers pope, at least before Benjamin graduated.
At that time, I wanted to learn Idol Magic. Swamps Black Tower did not have Idol Schools mentor, I wanted to visit other wizard towers to learn it.
Benjamin sat at the table, glanced at the silent Nefertari, then turned to Annan and said, At that time, I got the corresponding authority to access the information in the wizard tower.
Its mentioned in it, the deeds of Dream Eater Trisino Seti. This is his Gold Ranks professions name Miss Nefertari, you probably dont know his profession name yet?
Benjamin calmly narrated the facts.
However, it gave off a feeling as if he was mocking something.
Because as long as you know the official name of the profession, Dream Eater, you can easily a.s.sociate it with what he did.
Trisino Seti was a demon who fed on the dreams of mortals.
The more brilliant the original intention the stronger the curse that erupts when people forget and abandon it.
Benjamin explained, People are used to abandoning unrealistic dreams 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.
This is the behavior of people exchanging valuable things for chance of survival. 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.
Sacrifice bright dreams in exchange for better reality.
Idol Wizards 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 deitys strength, they must first have the dietys mentality.
Idol Wizards, who wors.h.i.+pped deities, would have their powers declined by at least half.
Frederick was like this, and so was Trisino Seti.
Gradually becoming dehumanized was not something an Idol Wizard could stop.
Just using Idol Magic would keep the wizards going in that direction because that was their purpose 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 s.n.a.t.c.h 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 p.r.o.ne 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 curses.
Just like the wizards, who manipulated the soul and mind, it was likely to go to the point of modifying their memory and personalitywhether it was to absorb the memory of other peoples souls into the body or to finely remove emotions such as timidity or arrogance. The essence had no difference.
They offended the same taboo.
As 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 doing anything would be strayed toward a certain direction according to their beliefs
So, why didnt Seti get weaker?
Benjamin said meaningfully, Or, has he already weakened?
Nefertari got it wrong from the beginning.
She thought that her teachers purpose was to let them come back to announce their victory. However, the goal was to let them not coming back.
Trisino Seti was indeed trying to complete four rotating wheels. However, his approach was not the cla.s.sical model of being a wish-making machine 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 dreams of his students into sacrifices for a deity. His students gave him the dreams they cherished now, and he would fulfill their future 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 original wish 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 initial heart.
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.
Its not that the students didnt pay the price, but they paid a heavy price, while they become strong.
Thats why Trisino Seti only recruits young people as apprentices.
Benjamin pointed out the truth mercilessly, Its not like youth who likes to dream, as Seti proclaimed.
Its 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.
It is this kind of thinkingor 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.
However, there was no such curse in the world.
Benjamin sneered, Its all a conspiracy.
What 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 wont be able to get any benefit.
It was a brilliant conspiracy.
Or perhaps it had followed the trend.
The unique exception may be Nefertari yourself.
Having said this, Benjamin looked deeply at Nefertari, You are the only student whose wish has been fulfilled.
Since Pope Trisino didnt interfere with your actions, it means that you must have some kind of irreplaceable unique property.
