Denton looked around.

…… He had a bit of an impression of the place.

The familiar, hot and humid sea breeze was immediately recognizable to Denton...... This is certainly the Field Islands of the United Kingdom.

But which island exactly?

The Field Islands are made up of seven islands of varying sizes. The largest Yongquan Island is about 12,000 square kilometers, and the smallest Baozuan Island is only 6,000 square kilometers, and the population is basically only a few hundred thousand people, which is not as large as the number of residents in King Noah's capital.

Each of the small islands of the Field Islands was once a kingdom or principality...... As the losers of the blood service, they sacrificed all their possessions to the Denisoas, and were mercifully distributed to small islands by Jaon.

As a result, the laws vary from island to island.

Even each island has its own wizarding tower – and in that sense, the United Kingdom probably has the highest density of wizarding towers.

Denton's illusory body, outlined in ice-blue lines, was suddenly painted with a layer of flesh and clothes, and turned into a middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat with a slightly red and cracked face.

- The question is simple.

Just look for the island's landmarks.

The ice-blue glow in Denton's eyes lit up and then went out, and a thick cloud quickly accumulated over the island.

With the damp and cold sea breeze blowing by...... Soon, a gentle drizzle began to fall.

His perception suddenly spread to the entire island.

Therefore, it is very clear to see the huge dark blue lighthouse in the north. and at the top of the lighthouse, a huge hemispherical diamond with thousands of facets reflecting the rainbow aurora.

It's too iconic to be fake.

"Blue Diamond Tower......"

Denton muttered, "It turns out that the 'Purest Spiritual Medium' is from Treasure Diamond Island. ”

This surprised him a little.

...... from Diamond Island Aren't they usually edict wizards or knights of the guard?

How did you go the way of a traditionalist Soul Snatcher?

Denton: He is actually from the United Kingdom.

But he was different from those rednecks. He is a pure-blooded Denisoa.

- Even though they are nominally nationals of the "United Kingdom of Denisoa and the Fields Islands", they themselves tend to refer to themselves as "I am from the Kingdom of Denisoa" or "I am from such and such an island".

Because they are actually countries that were forced to unite at the tail end of the brutal world war - "blood service". For the Denisoyas, the Fields Islands were nothing more than a collection of villagers who had lost their original country in blood service and had been conquered by their ancestors.

Had it not been for leaving them with the Field Islands and allowing some of them to rub a touch of the Great Barrier of Jaron, they would have been utterly defeated in the Blood Battle—either rolling into the Underworld or exposed to the Grey Mist.

But for the Fields Islands, they never lost their country...... It's just that there is no one, no money, no army.

To this day, they still retain the throne inheritance of many kingdoms and principalities, and the royal bloodline has not been completely severed. It can be said that each island is a small kingdom...... It's just that these kingdoms are so ineffective that no one recognizes them.

After all, the formulation and implementation of laws still depend on the statements of the parliament and the prime minister.

"Kings", speaking in the kingdom of Jaon does not necessarily count.

In the United Kingdom, the royal family is only a slightly larger aristocracy.

"Born ...... Diamond Island"

Denton frowned slightly.

The Blue Diamond Tower is not known as the Soul Reaver School. Could that be why he took a different path?

- Ask me.

He had already found the location of the master of the dream through the drizzle.

Denton stepped out, and his body instantly turned into a blurred shadow.

He reappeared next to a little boy with slightly darkened skin and a thin body.

The boy was about eight or nine years old, and his skin was very rough. Dressed in mud-stained slippers, khaki shorts, and a somewhat worn shirt, he squatted on the beach, his head bowed and drawing from the ground with a tree branch.

What do you think...... They are all ordinary fishermen's children.

…… This is what the "purest medium" Bernardino Teleshaw looked like when he was a child?

The one who has pushed himself into a desperate situation can also be regarded as a top-level powerhouse in the Golden Rank?

Denton was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.

But he didn't hesitate in his movements.

Although time passes slowly in dreams, it cannot be delayed at will.

As the ice-blue flames under Denton's eyes trembled slightly, his image was completely changed from his feet upwards.

In the blink of an eye, Denton had become a middle-aged man with a serious face and a purple robe.

The purple robe is a characteristic of the clothing of the priesthood of Yaon. It's like the Silver Sir clergy would wear long suits that resemble white.

Denton read his mind roughly and learned that this was the man Bernardino the Younger respected most, a well-known sculptor and priest of Jaon.

"Bell."

Denton made a majestic voice behind Bernardino.

When Bernardino heard this, he immediately raised his head, stood up with a brush, flicked the soil on his body, and replied vaguely:

"Yes, Father Ludwig."

"Did you do your homework today?"

"Yes...... I'm done. ”

Little Bernardino didn't look up, just lowered his head and muttered vaguely: "I came to play with the clay sculpture after I made it." ”

"You should have worked harder, Bernardino."

Skillfully applying the memories he had stolen from Bernardino's heart, Denton exhorted majestically, "Have you finished reading both "On the Human Body" and "The Beauty of Solidification" that I gave you?

"Practice your craft. You are very talented...... Even if you can't become a well-known sculptor, even if you sell some dolls, you won't be like your father......"

If it were according to the gentle character of the real "Father Ludwig", he would certainly not have mentioned about it.

Bernardino's father was a fisherman.

When he went out to fish, he was buried at the bottom of the sea due to a sudden wind and waves. The only wreckage he left in the world was a somewhat worn bucket's hat on Bernardino's head.

But Denton's fundamental aim was to strike a blow at Bernardino's self-confidence without a trace.

This is what Bernardino subconsciously thinks is the most important scene in his life - as long as Denton destroys the positive effect of this scene on him, or even causes him to self-destruct and suicidal desires, these memories will be overwritten and implanted in Bernardino's mind.

When Denton leaves his dream, he can easily detonate the emotion, causing Bernardino to commit suicide on the spot.

It's not the first time he's killed someone with this technique.

Even if he was a gold-level transcendent, he had used this tactic to kill one person and seriously injure another.

The only drawback is that he exists as a spirit in the other party's memory. If the opponent is a soul snatcher, an idol, a wizard of the Imperial Decree School, or a priest with purification powers, once they realize that something is wrong, they may launch a deadly counterattack against themselves.

But Bernardino is too late to fight back.

Denton's skill was too skilful - instead of destroying all of Bernardino's self-defending anchors, he cleverly avoided them.

This is equivalent to him sneaking in without triggering any alarms. As long as his modification wasn't too bizarre, Bernardino didn't even notice it.

Unless Bernardino is aware that he is now in the depths of his consciousness...... Otherwise he wouldn't have been wary at all.

But in the face of "Father Ludwig" played by Denton, Bernardino suddenly raised his head.

"But, Father Ludwig...... I don't want to be a sculptor. ”

He whispered.

"Nonsense!"

Father Ludwig frowned slightly: "Are you tired?" It's okay to rest when you're tired, but it's okay not to study without studying.

"We are not related, I can't support you for a lifetime. Bernardino, I also have my own children, and I take care of your food and shelter because you are my apprentice.

"If you don't study sculpture, I don't have to provide for you. Do you understand? ”

"No, I'm—"

Bernardino Jr.'s voice suddenly raised slightly.

But he looked at the priest, and his words suddenly stopped.

Looking at the rustic, featureless face, Denton showed a slightly disgusted and bored expression at the right time: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I want to study natural philosophy, Father Priest."

Bernardino said seriously: "I want to read. ”

"Who will provide for you?"

Denton asked rhetorically, "I'm not going to provide for you." ”

His ruthless and rational words did not surprise Bernardino.

He just hung his head and didn't say a word. After a long time, he whispered: "Yes, I will study hard......"

At this moment, Denton's heart moved.

The moment he said this line, Bernardino wavered a little and opened his mind even more. Denton also took the opportunity to dig out more and deeper memories from Bernardino's heart:

This familiar conversation took place four years after the memory of Bernardino Jr. At that time, Fr. Ludwig thought about it and said that he was old and mature, and he could recommend him to study at the Denisoa Theological Seminary in Bernardino.

If all goes well, he should be a priest of Jaon, a philosopher, a natural scientist.

…… But Father Ludwig's letter of introduction to Bernardino, along with the priest's token and the tuition fee for him, was lost by him along the way.

At that time, Bernardino was disheartened, but did not dare to go home. Wandering around Denisoa, he became a scavenger in the capital of the arts, relying on his half-baked sculpture skills to make a living.

It was then that he met a Soul Reaver wizard from the Tower of Black Shine. The other party fell in love with his sculpture ability that seemed to have a soul, and wanted to invite him to become a school worker.

Maybe in this place, modify his memory-
