Salvatore certainly knows.

The original tower owner of Zedi Black Tower was Prometheus the "Fire Stealer".

In the endless desert, the most dangerous thing is not the scorching sun.

It's the endless darkness of the night when night falls.

That living desert will devour the people inside when night falls. Other words...... As long as you lose your Light in the desert, you will be swallowed up by the sand beneath your feet.

Therefore, if you want to pass through the endless desert over there, you must have enough lights and ...... Fuel.

The most difficult part is in the fuel.

Because ordinary flames can illuminate the range in that desert is not far. The darkness there is like something with texture and weight.

In order to solve this lightless dilemma, an elf named Prometheus chose to advance to become a "fire stealer".

He stole the "Third Ray" of the Sun.

-- that is, "the bright light that burns forever".

He used his own flesh and blood as firewood and wisdom as fuel to extract the "endless fire...... It is also known as the "holy fire". As long as people are still thinking, a bright white flame that will burn forever.

The people carried torches burning with a blazing flame before rushing out of the living desert.

By then, Prometheus's whole body had withered like a walking corpse. He looked like a lanky ghost with an extremely thin waist, and his legs and arms were so thin that they could be held by an eight-year-old girl with one hand.

At that time, the Mysterious Lady asked for twenty-four wizarding towers to be built throughout Yaseran to support the Great Barrier.

And in addition to the first duty of "just exist".

Each wizard tower has a different meaning, a different mission.

The meaning of Zedi Black Tower is to produce the "Holy Flame".

The Holy Fire is one of the top incantation materials...... It is the flame necessary for the flint to build the supreme treasure; It can gradually transform mortals within the range of the firelight, making them clear-headed; It can also be used as a flame of order, protecting the transcendent from the enchantment with a torch in hand.

Within the range of the flame, the grey mist is not to enter.

In the heyday of the Yaseran Empire, there were cauldron towers all over the empire. Each cauldron is a huge statue of a hero.

Elven sages sit in front of statues of sages in meditation or debate. Offer your wits to keep the flame burning - but by then the Great Barrier had been built, and the flames were no longer needed to resist the mist.

More significance lies in the remembrance of people who do not forget the sacrifices of the sages of the past.

But at the time of the blood, all the cauldron was extinguished.

War has drained people's minds, and the more important mission of wise men is to assist the lord and monarch in plotting to conquer the world, rather than to study knowledge.

Today, the flame can only be obtained from the fire stealer.

And Hugo is currently the only fire-stealer.

Of course...... There will be Salvatore in the future.

"Why does Bernardino need the flame?"

Salvatore blurted out subconsciously.

Why does a Soul Reaver who has advanced from a necromancer need to use the Holy Fire to complete the "work of creation"?

But he quickly reacted: "No, it doesn't matter...... Teacher! Did the teacher also be killed by him? ”

Salvatore's emotions were a little out of control: "How can he defeat the teacher? The teacher is the most powerful transformation wizard in the world! ”

His fingers were shaking.

Annan suddenly reached out and silently and firmly grasped Salvatore's left hand. Feeling the warmth of Annan's palms and the pain of his finger bones being pinched by Annan—Salvatore calmed down a little because of the pain.

Truth be told, there was no sorrow or pain in Salvatore's heart.

Only dazed, panicked and incredulous.

Suddenly hearing this, he really didn't feel anything.

"I don't know what he's going to do."

Sir Silver replied calmly, "As for Hugo Blacktower...... He's alive. And completely dominating. Even the entire swamp had been dried by the aftermath of the battle, and there was not a single living thing left in the surrounding swamp for miles.

"Until Hugo's soul burned out, he probably managed to suppress Bernardino all the time. Because Zedi Black Tower will provide him with infinite order mana...... But the Wizard Tower can't give him elemental power after all.

"Bernardino completely abandoned his body and refined his flesh into an unfinished version of the Philosopher's Stone. And when he attacked Denton before, he obtained the Philosopher's Stone of extremely high purity...... He also constructed an automatic transformation circle, which automatically transformed the people he killed into philosopher's stones, and in doing so, he completed the great feat of [Four Wheels].

"If Hugo had made a quick decision and burned all the wizards of the tower, he might have been able to defeat Bernardino thirty-seven hours later. But he didn't do it until the end...... So the wizards couldn't help anything, but they could only help Bernardino.

"He also brought with him the souls of Isaac and Denton the Dreamstealer, as well as the souls of the twelve Frostwhisperers—all of his reserves, all of which were used to defend against Hugo. Bernardino's preparations are also protracted...... And with the addition of the wizards of Zedi Black Tower, Hugo can no longer defeat Bernardino. ”

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Hugo was defeated.

Sir Silver calmly uttered the cruel truth: "In about fifty-two hours, Hugo's soul will be completely burned out.

"However, with the 'Soul Inheritance Spell' of the Soul Monk, he can probably still retain his consciousness. With Bernardino's soul-making skills, it is possible to resurrect at the soul level by filling it with other souls as nourishment. If you can defeat him one day, you may be able to take Hugo back.

"-Oh yes, Bernardino still retains Clarence's soul."

Sir Silver said slowly.

It was as if he was hinting at something.

Salvatore gritted his teeth.

"I ......"

I'm going to—he wanted to say that.

But Salvatore's reason told him that if even Hugo could not defeat an enemy in the wizard's tower, he would not be able to defeat him at all.

He is an "alchemist" in his own right, the weakest of the transcendental.

And the other party is someone who can kill even his own teacher......

Even if he went, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't do anything at all—

"—Go, Sal."

But at this moment, the shadow's extremely serious voice sounded hoarsely in his heart: "You want to go."

"What about dying? You are the son of the Black Tower! If the Black Tower is gone, your last name ...... Don't you feel absurd and shameful? ”

"But I ......"

Salvatore gritted his teeth, his fingers no longer shaking, just a little tightness in his chest.

That's when it happened.

Annan turned to look at Sir Silver.

"If I want to ask you to help......"

He looked at Sir Silver and asked slowly.

Sir Silver picked one of Annan to tell Salvatore about it when he was here.

It's nothing more than trying to tell him about it.

If Salvatore himself had learned about this, he would have secretly left in order not to involve Annan.

However, since Annan knew about it...... He would not have allowed Salvatore to die on his own.

Seeing Annan ask like this, Sir Silver showed a smile on his face.

It was as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time.

In a clear voice, he asked word by word: "So, Annan-

"At what cost?"

"Is it a cost......

"Yes, we will keep your life safe, and we will even make mirrors for you to speed up your birth.

"But I'm not going to kill your mirror for you, it's your own mission. We can give you tuition, we can teach you knowledge, we can help you revise...... But we won't help you with the exam. I don't want to, I won't, and I can't. ”

Sir Silver said calmly, "He is your mirror, Annan.

"Your first mirror is Don Juan Geraine. The boy with the same outstanding talent, outstanding intelligence, and gentle personality, who is also about to become the heir of the family, but was murdered by the rotten man in the embryonic stage, is also a swordsman and a disabled wizard, and even has a similar bloodline...... There is no doubt that you are similar to Him.

But your talents are far superior to his, and your heart is stronger than his. The most simple powerful and bright, divided into different destinies, this is the first light. ”

"Your second mirror was Denton. But he was afraid of the confrontation he would have with you in a supporting role, so he fled his fate and placed his unhatched fragment of truth into the soul of the Viscount of Roseburg.

You are all people who have suffered from thousands of failures, but you have never given up hope. The hope that will never be extinguished and will always be renewed, this is the second light. ”

"Your third mirror is Henry VIII. You, like him, have never felt love since birth...... But you have a family you hold dear, a kingdom you value, and he hates his blood and his mission. You are more like him.

You are both people who do not know how to love from the beginning of fate, but the love in your heart for the world and others will never be extinguished. The fire that burns forever is the third ...... And what you're about to get, the third fragment of truth. ”

“…… But you say, the price. ”

Annan said slowly: "In other words, there is still room here...... Right. ”

"Yes, I'm the god of trade, after all. As long as there is a price, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated. ”

The corners of Sir Silver's mouth raised slightly, he patted Annan's shoulder, stood up with his back to Annan, and said flatly: "Go to the funeral first, this is what you promised me." We'll talk about the rest later.

"We still have a lot of time."

- At least, fifty-two hours to go.
