Denton's heart moved slightly.

The surrounding scene rippled like water waves, and in the blink of an eye, Bernardino rose to the level of a down-and-out young man of seventeen or eighteen years old—although he was still a teenager, his stubble and face were enough to make one recognize a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen.

He himself became a kind-faced, white-haired old man.

“…… How, Bell? ”

Denton smiled and said in a kind voice, "Do you want to go to the Tower of Black Shine with me?" ”

"But, but I'm seventeen...... Is it okay? ”

Bernardino's eyes were shaken.

Denton saw in his eyes a familiar, first-lit flame of hope—

And he is also very skillful, snuffing it out:

"Of course—"

He dragged out his voice and smiled: "As long as you have money." I'll be able to give you a referral spot.

"Five hundred pounds, a chance to change fate, isn't it expensive? So, do you have the money? ”

Bernardino naturally did not.

Not to mention five hundred pounds, his entire fortune was only three pounds.

The smile on Bernardino's face faded and the flame of hope in his eyes was extinguished and turned gray again. Denton just patted him on the shoulder and whispered devilishly, "But don't worry...... You don't have a chance to be an apprentice, but an anonymous apprentice can. ”

“…… Anonymous apprentices? ”

"Yes. Our Black Shine Tower is a place where the main idol and soul snatcher schools are located, and many spell practices need to be cooperated. If you wish, you can also audit some of the lessons, and the price you have to pay is just to accept the spells of other students and be the object of mind reading. ”

Denton said with a smile: "Not only do you not want money, but you also need to eat and live, how about it?" ”

In other words, experiments.

Soul Snatcher Spells and Idol Spells are both types that cannot be used without targets.

Naturally, it was impossible for them to let these students experiment on the teacher.

But they also won't allow apprentices to experiment with each other.

Then it is natural to hire some people to be used as "course props".

Of course, in principle, if an "anonymous apprentice" can learn any spell while being cast, he can directly become an ordinary apprentice. Not only is there no tuition fee, but pocket money is also given.

But Denton's goal was to destroy Bernardino's memories and plant the seeds of self-destruction in his heart.

So naturally he wouldn't say that.

If only he could know that Bernardino had a desire for self-destruction at a precise moment in his life.

He will be able to detonate it precisely in the future.

This is just the "burying" phase.

Looking at the decadent "youth" who was struggling violently and thinking, Denton patted him lightly on the shoulder, and added some material in a low voice: "Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it."

"—I just think, you're so young. You should always learn something, or you will waste a lot of good time? ”

He pretended to be casual and asked, "Ah yes, speaking of which, do you have ideals?" Is there something you definitely want to do? ”

“…… Ideal. ”

Young Bernardino muttered in a low voice, "Of course I have. ”

"What is it?"

Denton said gently, "If I can make me feel good, maybe I will hire you exceptionally?" ”

- This is, of course, a lie.

The aim is to give hope and, further, despair.

But Bernardino didn't excitedly ask "Is it true?" or something like that.

He was just silent, shook his head, and looked at the sky.

The eyes are as vicissitudes as an old man.

"I used to want to be a philosopher, I wanted to go to seminary. I want to know what the world is really like. I used to think I was smart, and I wanted to feel the reality of the world, and I wanted to know how the world, this universe, was made. ”

He muttered in a low voice, "But I'm ...... after all Not done.

"—I didn't do anything. I deserved to end up like this. ”

"What's going on here?"

Denton asked in a warm voice of concern, "Can you tell me about it?" ”

"It's me who is too incompetent."

Bernardino shook his head silently and whispered, "This is fate, and I have missed it."

As written in "On Fate and the Mystery of Half of the Dice", "Fate is the wheel of the chariot". Once you've done it, there's no turning back...... Thank you.

"Let me finally let go of what I once couldn't let go of and couldn't forget."

Denton listened, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran.

Ice blue flames rose from his skin, like a dreamy, crystal-made thrush, and it took off in an instant. The scene around him changed rapidly, and he flapped his wings once and fled backwards for a year.

But at this moment, behind the young and decadent Bernardino suddenly rose a translucent black giant composed of countless black spirits, and in its belly there was a golden bright one-eyed that slowly rotated like a nebula.

The giant raised his hand, and as if he had crossed the time interval slowly, he held Denton in his hand like a real bird.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! ”

Denton apologized without hesitation: "I can sign a contract with you, whatever conditions are up to you!" ”

Joke......

If Bernardino had shown this thing in the first place, he would have run away immediately.

As an old-qualified Gold-level transcendent, he certainly knew what it was.

- This is a trait that has already obtained the [Supreme Crown] and the [Perfect Essence of the Elements]!

The so-called "sublime prosthetic".

The five essentials for the Ascension Ceremony.

[The operation of the four wheels] - no longer has the weaknesses and loopholes in the body and soul, and has a perpetual motion machine that can generate infinite power.

[Creative work] - to complete the great cause that only can be achieved by oneself, and change the times with the power of one person.

[Supreme Crown] - to reach the "absolute world first" in a certain field.

The Archetype of Truth - Find and collect a complete set of books of truth.

[Perfect Essence of Elements] - Awaken at least one element to the deepest level.

Of the five conditions for becoming a god, the first two are the most difficult. Each god chooses a different path.

The latter three are much simpler...... The Book of Truth is a direct selection and does not need to be forced. The other two, as long as they have talent, just have to wait.

Of the latter three, satisfying the "perfect essence of the elements" and any one or two of the remaining ones can be called "sublime prosthetics".

That is, "demigods" in the true sense of the word.

If all three are present, it should be a well-defined djinn - its form, which will reveal the essence of each person's inner desires, and the true nature of the soul.

Bernardino did not have a book of truth, so his noble pretend was covered in mud and obscure.

But even so...... This is definitely not an enemy that Denton can resist.

"I don't have a conflict with you, do I? The Purest Medium...... What exactly do you want? ”

"What I want......"

Bernardino muttered in a low voice, the corners of his mouth raised: "I don't think you will give it to me."

"—because what I want is your spinal cord."

With that, he threw Denton's soul into the belly of the "sublime prosthetic" behind him.

When Bernardino opened his eyes again.

The crowd that had been attacking him in a steady stream was already stunned.

They reacted quickly.

Screaming, shouting, running or attacking, thousands of people were in disarray.

And no one can stop Bernardino.

Soon, an elven spirit walked out of the palace with a string of bloody backbones.

Feeling the approach of several powerful auras, Bernardino smiled and did not panic.

"Want to see us dog-eat-dog...... That's fine. This body will be given to you......"

Bernardino muttered under his breath.

He summoned his sublime fake once more, tossing his spine into it.

He then sucked all of the spirits into his right eye.

Then he tilted his head and lost his breath in a wheelchair.
