"There is only one Philosopher's Stone, and I can only go."

Annan said seriously: "If you want to help, hurry up and help me make some good potions." Silver Sir was able to teleport me instantly, and our time was not so tight...... You can wait until I'm done with the ritual and everything is ready, and I'll wait until sunrise tomorrow to kill it.

"Until then, I'm going to ask you to stay up all night to help me prepare the logistics."

When he learned that what he could give was not enough for Sir Silver to take action personally, Annan had already made up his mind to try to kill.

He is now a silver rank, different from his former bronze rank, and he has also gained a new truth.

If you inject the Philosopher's Stone again, you will definitely be able to burst out with stronger combat power than when you fought the rotten man that day, and you may not be able to defeat Bernardino.

Just right...... There is only one last bottle of the Philosopher's Stone left.

And this is also Annan's excuse to reject Salvatore.

Salvatore, who does not use the Philosopher's Stone, simply does not have the ability to go head-to-head with Bernardino.

If Annan didn't know about this, Salvatore would definitely have the idea of beating the bottle of the Philosopher's Stone.

Although he was a little sorry for his new students, he treacherously broke his promise when he entered the school and couldn't give him the orthodox Black Tower inheritance...... However, Salvatore's desire to go to Zediheta to seek his destiny was extremely firm.

If only Salvatore knew about this, in order to prevent Annan from wading into this troubled water, which had nothing to do with him, Salvatore would definitely sneak over by himself.

But he learned about it together with Annan.

Then the situation is different.

During the battle with the rotten man, he was very clearly aware that it was a waste of things to let himself use the Philosopher's Stone compared to Annan. Even if she completely surrendered her body to Shadow, she was probably limited in what she could do.

But Annan was even able to tie with the rotten man when he was in the bronze rank!

At least three minutes without losing!

…… Although the rotten man is not much stronger than the transcendent of the truth level.

And at the same time, Annan also has the protection of the righteous gods.

Salvatore still doesn't know what Sir Silver wants to do with Annan. However, for the righteous gods, if they have malicious intentions, they don't have to go around this circle...... It is not a complicated technology for this world to modify the mind, modify the memory, or even directly enslave the mind.

Then, with the protection of the Silver Sir, even if Annan fails, he will not die.

Salvatore is not a suicide lover.

He wanted to save the tower master and take back the senior's soul - and better yet, take revenge on Bernardino. Instead of rushing straight up and letting Bernardino kill.

Annan is much stronger than himself, and even has security guarantees.

Then he can only give up this opportunity to Annan.

Thinking of this, Salvatore regretted it very much.

- Why did you only make three bottles of the Sage's Stone at that time?

If it's four bottles, I'll be able to fight side by side with Annan!

"I ...... I see. ”

Salvatore nodded reluctantly.

When he first advanced to the level of alchemist, he thought that he could help Annan even more.

But he never expected that there would be a time when he encountered something and needed Annan to stand up for himself......

Something happened to my family, I could only watch from the sidelines, and my friends were working hard for themselves - how can this work?

How can this work?

At this time, Salvatore regretted his career choice.

If he advanced to the exclusive class of the son of the tower at that time, "Holy Flame Messenger", then he can fight side by side with the tower master, and he can use his soul as fuel to support and heal the tower master, even if he does not use the philosopher's stone, he may not be able to fight with Bernardino.

"Go back, Sal."

The shadow's cold and hoarse voice came: "Don't waste time, go straight back to Geraint's house and borrow their family's best transformation room."

"Then give me your body - I will personally refine the potion for Annan."

“…… Good. ”

- For the first time, Salvatore agreed to the Shadow's request to borrow his body.

"If you still have anything you want to say to Annan, just tell him first."

Salvatore said in his heart and closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, he fell asleep on the spot.

As dense black runes emerged from his body, filled with an evil aura, steaming with an unsettling thick black smoke that directly enveloped him, and his eyes turned into two blood-red crescents, faintly glowing in the black smoke.

It seems that it is more suitable for the name "Shadow Fiend" than Kaphne.

"What is the need, Annan?"

"Salvatore" asked bluntly.

"Potions that can increase willpower, potions that improve constitution attributes or increase damage resistance, don't be the kind that can increase strength and agility, and it's best to suppress strength and agility appropriately. These are the two requirements for the first priority.

"The second is a potion that temporarily increases the perception attribute, and then there is something that increases my ability to kill spirits - I'll give you my matching sword, and I can add this function to my sword if I can. After that, there are more healing potions...... To what extent can this be done? ”

"Don't underestimate me, this level of demand...... Twelve hours, no, ten hours for you. ”

Salvatore sneered and said coldly, "I'm not that piece of waste. Bring the sword...... It's okay to suppress the requirements of strength and agility attributes and put them in a potion that improves willpower, right? Need anything else? ”

"No, that's all."

Annan nodded.

"Then there are two original custom potions, one is to increase willpower while reducing strength and agility slightly, and the other is a potion that greatly increases survivability. After that, I will make you a bottle of Spirit Resistance Elixir, a bottle of Stone Skin Elixir, a bottle of Psychic Perseverance, three vials of Whisperer Mixture, one Soul Purifying Potion, one Mind Deflection Ring, one Combat Spirit Enchantment, and a dozen powerful healing potions...... That's the requirement, right? ”

"Salvatore" recounted Annan's order with a blank face.

After hearing this, Annan was a little worried: "Why are there so many things?" Are you done? ”

"Heh, don't underestimate me. I am a shadow of Salvatore. ”

Salvatore sneered and replied coldly, "Hurry up and do your ritual." I'll be sure to come with something before you go. ”

With that, she bit her thumb.

Annan had absolutely no idea how she did it.

I saw that "Salvatore" directly turned into a black wind, and flew away whistling like a monster in Journey to the West.

At least Annan can decide that Salvatore will not do this......

"They're not very happy."

Sir Silver said slowly.

Annan nodded and said nothing.

What will happen to Zediheta in the end has nothing to do with him. What tower master, what senior...... Annan didn't know either.

— but they were Salvatore's relatives and friends.

If Annan didn't stop Salvatore, he would definitely go to his death. Annan knew his senior, and he knew his shadow - Salvatore was a rational and weak man who would realize that his resistance would mean nothing to the enemy and would not save anyone at all.

But the shadow is different.

What the shadow does is never "what should be done", but "what you want to do". She was Salvatore's most primitive hope, the embodiment of his pleasures, his revenge, his fury, the source of all his drives.

Salvatore's own actions are governed by morality, law, rules, and reason, and what he does must take into account the perceptions of others. The relationship between the shadow and Salvatore is similar to the conflict between the "id" and the "superego" at the level of personality.

Salvatore acts with reason and will to contain the shadows...... But now, his reason and will are on the verge of collapse. At this time, he will inevitably follow the Shadow's train of thought in the end.

This is the essence of his spell, the reflection that never sleeps.

An ever-present mirror that reflects oneself. At the same time, it is also a self-protection mechanism born based on Salvatorina's way of doing things, which even has a little divinity.

When Salvatore encounters a difficult problem that he can't handle, the shadow will come out to solve it, because Salvatore is a person who won't give up easily; And when he is faced with something that is contrary to law and morality, irrational and logical, he must do it anyway...... The shadow will come out and take the blame to dominate the body to fulfill its will.

- also known as "being seduced by demons".

I'm afraid it's not just Annan.

With Pope Benjamin's wisdom, he should have understood the nature of Salvatore's spell long ago.

That's why he taught Salvatore to strictly control himself, to constantly strengthen his self-discipline, and to do his best to resist the possibility of "shadows" taking over his body.

In fact, this is to strengthen the wildness of the "shadows...... In order to ensure that at the critical moment, the shadow can do what Salvatore does not dare to do and does not want to do.

Because the shadow is his reflection in the water.

The more rational Salvatore is, the more crazy the shadow becomes; The more naïve Salvatore is, the darker the shadow; The more Salvatore thinks about others...... The more selfish the shadows are.

Pope Benjamin placed the seal to protect him as a student.

It's not just about keeping his life safe.

It also gave him an excuse to have to make when faced with his own choice—and a freshly cast pot tailored for Shadow.

And this is to preserve the integrity of Salvatore's personality, so that he does not regret it.

“…… Pope Benjamin was really fond of him as a student. ”

Annan sighed.

Sir Silver looked at Annan, smiled softly, and shook his head silently.

He didn't say anything more, but simply said, "It's time to do your ritual." Two hours later, the ice may not melt. ”

"Then you can ...... Give me a ride? ”

"Why not."

Sir Silver laughed, and raised his hand, revealing a freshly created silver coin between his fingers.

He casually threw the silver coin at Annan, and said casually: "Then let the silver coin clear the way-"

At the moment when he was hit by the silver coin, Annan was in a trance, as if a bridge composed of pure silver coins had appeared in front of him, standing in the void.

Before he could go any further, the bridge began to flow on its own.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived on the other side.

When Annan opened his eyes again, he was already in the Tower of Frost.

- and the Geraintes and Salvatore were not yet home.
