Chapter 97: Wishes and Trade-offs (Part 2)

Aside from those gods, the "Bone Healer" Seti is basically the top of this world.

How many people want to be educated from him. And Seti recruits students not only based on the other party's background...... As a transcendent of the Golden Order, he is very aware of the power of "desire". We can also know what kind of terrible demons people will become if powerful desires are polluted.

Therefore...... As long as he is a person with strong and pure desires and upright views, even if there is no tuition, Seti will recruit him as a student.

This is also because of Seti's special profession.

He teaches his disciples in the process and at the same time strengthens himself...... Because idols can grow in power as long as they are worshipped. Whereas Seti is more inclined to extract the cult from the "students".

What Seti values most is their incomparably pure "wish".

The power of wish is the purest of the several powers that idol wizards can use.

He made a pact with the students who could not afford to fulfill their wishes – to give them the power to do so for free. Then, after they have fulfilled their wishes, they come back again and leave their stories behind.

But in the end, after graduating from Seti, the number of people who actually achieved their "wish" was zero.

Not to mention outsiders.

Even Seti himself sometimes wonders if he unconsciously took away their wishes because he was by their side.

Obviously, as long as they learn a little bit from Seti, they can easily achieve their wishes.

People who have a pure heart and strong desires will not have a complex and difficult thing to achieve.

But those students, after receiving Setty's teachings, understood the idea of "being prepared"; I also learned from other students what a great man their teacher was.

After all, the other golden levels are not like Seti like "teaching" and "cultivation" itself. If they take in apprentices, most of them do it to find an assistant...... It's like looking for a graduate student to help with the work, and naturally you have to be selective.

They realize that if they miss this opportunity, they may not get it next time.

No, you won't get it next time.

After getting the power to fulfill their wishes, they did not leave as agreed at the beginning. Wait until your wish is fulfilled before coming back.

Instead, continue to stay with the healer and continue to learn.

It's like a teacher who sees students asking questions between classes.

When Seti saw that the students were so motivated, he naturally didn't have any opinions.

It is better for them to learn a little more, grow a little more...... be "prepared".

And they really lived up to the teacher's expectations. The vast majority of these students of Seti have become big shots. At least a well-known celebrity in the circle. Still others have become Silver Tier transcendents.

They all have their own wonderful lives.

In the eyes of others, they are all happy.

…… But only Master Seti knows.

His students must have regrets.

Because their initial wishes were almost never fulfilled.

It is different from the immature "fantasies" that ordinary people had when they were children, such as "I want to be a king" and "I want to be a dragon", which were destined to be unrealizable. That is a truly pure and powerful desire.

Seti remembers them.

There was a child who was a genius swordsman.

He became an Overseer at a young age, but flinched because he was inexperienced in the face of underground monsters...... And exposed the innocent inhabitants to the monsters, killing many people.

At that time, if he fought the monster, although he would also die, everyone else would be able to evacuate successfully. However, as a protector, he was the first to flee...... This caused all the people he protected to die.

As a result, no one traced his responsibility.

He came to Seti and wept bitterly. I hope that I can become a person who has the courage and no longer retreats.

So he read a lot of books here with Seti, saw many big scenes, and was taken by Seti to come into contact with some big people. He has gradually become an outstanding young man with courage, knowledge and responsibility.

He relied on this relationship, and his already outstanding ability, to come to the United Kingdom and become the Chief of Police of the United Kingdom.

But in the face of politics, he has retreated more times than before...... As a foreigner with great power, the king was often suspicious of him, and other colleagues coveted this real power fat for a long time, and many traps were placed in front of him, tempting him to reach out beyond his authority, so as to anger the king.

In order not to let this seat be taken away by those with ill intentions, he had to back down in the face of justice. But as time went on, he gradually learned to turn a blind eye, gradually learned to kick the ball, and gradually mastered the art of non-stick pans...... And these are all from Sethi's brilliant teachings.

He saved many people and did justice many times, but he also concealed many crimes and let some sinners go.

The young swordsman who used to cry bitterly for his withdrawal ended up becoming a politician.

And there was a child back then, he hoped that his childhood sweetheart, the eldest lady of the rich family, could be happy, but he did not have the capital to be worthy of her status, let alone make her happy.

After training here for a long time, he eventually became a well-known powerhouse, and became a trusted guardian of the underworld. He guards the most dangerous mines, acts as a personal guard for the bigwigs, and in his spare time takes relief supplies deep into the exploration layers to save the pre-diggers who are stranded underground when they run out of supplies.

This legendary mercenary, known as the "Shield of Immortality", was once considered to be ...... If he can advance to gold, he may be recognized by the [Gritty Wrist].

Many diggers were saved by him when they were younger. This favor has accumulated and become a huge network...... In the end, he successfully married his childhood sweetheart who fell in love with him.

- But in order to maintain his life and for those who have something to ask for him, he still runs around every day after he gets married. I can't go home for a few days all year round...... Those who were saved by him would thank him, and some would ask him for more important things. Every day's life is an endless task, an endless rescuer - in the end, he died in the mission, not even leaving a child.

Nefertari remembers a very smart boy who loved to read, but could never afford to buy them. He wanted to be a well-read and wise man.

Eventually, after graduating from Seti, he went to work at his dream job at the Royal Library of the United Kingdom, one of the finest libraries in the world. After all, this is the sum of all the historical records of more than a dozen countries, and it is the library with the largest preservation of ancient books in the world.

Relying on his excellent ability, he rose through the ranks and eventually became the director of the library. And because of his extraordinary knowledge, he became the teacher of the three princes. It can be regarded as entering the upper echelons of the kingdom......

But he didn't have time to read anymore. The knowledge that I once learned in my head is gradually forgotten because it is too profound, and I don't usually need it and don't have time to review it; Because his status will be very high in the future, many people want to flatter him, and he is not so great at the moment, and he simply cannot refuse these big shots.

There are also some people, simply with bad intentions, who want to inquire about some royal secrets from him. Many of his friends were spies with hidden purposes. Discerning these people and fighting with them drained his mental strength.

As a result, he had to socialize every day, and his stomach became a swimming ring. Greasy food and alcohol destroyed his body, and the royal family's bear children and unspoken secrets exhausted his mind.

His mind gradually became drowsy...... I feel that the fire of wisdom in my brain is decreasing day by day, and the books that I used to be able to read through are beginning to become obscure. Memory also gradually began to decline.

Not to mention becoming the greatest wise man. It is even necessary to rely on rituals to temporarily restore one's body to health and not be so forgetful.

- None of them did anything wrong.

They just tried their best to learn and use their knowledge with all their might.

But if they haven't done anything wrong, why can't they fulfill their simple wishes?

“…… Nefi. ”

So the old man asked Nefertari, who was the only one to ask the question, "What do you think should be the purpose of attaining supernatural powers?" What would you do with your supernatural powers? ”

This question made Nefertari think about it for a year.

The answer she gave in the end was:

"I think that the transcendent path is the path to the right of denial, Teacher."

The young Nefertari replied so earnestly: "Attaining supernatural power is not to do what you want; It's so that when I don't want to do something, I can feel safe and bold not to do it. ”

"So, are you still planning to embark on the path of transcendence?"

"—no, teacher."

She replied.

Nefertari was born transcendent. But she doesn't need to be transcendent at all to live happily.

As the only student who rejected Seti's given path, Nefertari was steadfast in her answer.

She is also the only student who is eligible to return to the Bone Farm after graduation.

Because she is the only one, she has fulfilled her original wish - to become a wise man and live with the person she likes.

Having missed out on the path to transcendence, Nefertari has never regretted it.

Because she was really happy.
