The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 75: Curse you with everything I have
Hugo's singing did not stop.
What he sang was the secret about Sui's father and his brother "Jin".
【Ember is the name for something that has been burned but cannot be re-ignited, and charcoal is the name for something that has been burned but can still be re-ignited. Both embers and charcoal were born before the appearance of fire, and even before all combustible things]
[The charcoal will eventually light up again, flying in the sky and leaving the earth. So the charcoal rises from the first fire, and the embers fall into the abyss——]
Grandma is the mother of all dragons, she was born before the birth of light and fire.
Just like the secret about winter given to Annan by the old grandmother: "The word [winter] was originally used to describe the silence of the sky like a dying old man when the earth was first born; and the earth's love for all things that will pass away but will not die. of hatred."
She is the eldest daughter of the earth.
That’s why December and January are right next to each other, just like the mysterious lady in February and the silent lady in March.
The "mother of embers and coals" is a metaphor for "the story of the birth of flame".
Suifu’s real name is [Charcoal]. However, it was not spoken in the language of Yaslan, but "Charcoal" recited in dragon language. His brother Jhin became a demon and still remains in the east of the Living Desert.
——Before the elves entered the living desert, they lived in a kingdom ruled by Jhin.
As the supreme ruler, "Incombustible Dragon" Jin established a military government with strict hierarchies and disciplines, and divided the demons into very strict racial classes and hierarchies... Among the same class, the elders are respected, and those of the same generation are respected. Military merit is respected among the people.
The later you become a fallen person, the lower your status will be due to your junior qualifications; but even so, the demons have always respected "gods"...or "lords", "living pillars", and "elders" , "King" and other great people.
Because they are older.
In the devil's moral concept, as long as a living thing is alive, the older it is, the greater, more powerful, or wiser it is.
A young man who has lived for two hundred years is not as good as an elder who has lived for more than a thousand years; and an elder who has lived for more than a thousand years is not as good as a king who has lived for more than five thousand years - for those who do not need to exercise, their strength will change with time. This is very simple and clear logic for a growing and increasingly stronger Fallen.
It is precisely because they cannot fall and are therefore discriminated against that the elves choose to leave their homes and enter the living desert.
Father Sui was promoted to "King" and had the body of the Light Realm because he had previously plundered the heart of the virtual world for the world and brought the power of elements to the world. He decided to protect those elves... As a result, Sui's father and his brother Jhin had a big conflict.
As the "kings" left Jhin's empire, Jhin, who was not a "king" himself, could not have his own "guards" - what Yasselan called the apostles.
Because he did not have a reliable team at hand, the demons who eventually lost all their "kings" fell into separatism. Jhin became the most powerful warlord at that time...after all, he was the former "Emperor".
The demons who missed the "predecessor kings" established the "Blood Coal Church" to worship their three most respected gods: the Red Knight, the Cup Girl and the Sui Father.
The grand ceremony Hugo is using now is taken from the "Blood Coal Church" in the Eastern Continent.
It's called "Blood Coal Ritual".
Using charcoal stone impregnated with "powerful and precious" blood and therefore incombustible as a medium to forcefully burn it.
This is actually a BUG.
Because when the precious blood is soaked into the carbon stone, the concept of the cup-holder woman has already been soaked into the carbon stone. She will protect the carbon stone until it becomes the charcoal soaked in "blood" and when the blood dries up. Previously, it was impossible to burn; however, using Suifu's divine power - for example, the creation-level knowledge related to Suifu, one can forcibly ignite "wet charcoal".
The conflict between the cup-bearing girl and Sui Father evokes the red knight, the **** of war. And if the red knight's divine power appears, then Sui Fu will not be able to use divine power to ignite incombustible objects, and the cup-holder girl will not be able to use divine power to protect blood-stained objects. But if the divine power of the cup-holder girl and Sui Father disappears, then the red knight's divine power will lose its target.
In this way, a Trinity paradox is formed.
The divine power of the three righteous gods did not appear, so it was not consumed, but it did have an impact - the conflict and collapse between the divine powers of the same level and the same proportion would produce gods that did not belong to any god. The masterless divine power.
This ceremony is the foundation of the "Blood Coal Church".
Through the blood charcoal ritual, you can directly use divine magic without the god's permission without the **** responding or even knowing about it.
It is essentially a sacrilegious ritual.
Hugo used this ritual to build a furnace that can "calcin elements" and "calcin souls" - the cup-holder girl is the **** of desire, and the Sui Father is the ancestor of the elements. Their divine power can indeed do to this point.
The reason why Hugo called Annan was not because he wanted him to blow some wind or cool down the furnace.
But if the ritual fails and is discovered by the righteous god, you can at least use Annan to brush your face to ensure that the ritual is completed...
But fortunately, Hugo seemed to be a little worried.
The power he stole was not that much, and none of the three righteous gods seemed to notice it.
The ritual he constructed to burn souls, desires and elements has been completed; and because the flame is mixed with the holy fire that can burn wisdom, it can also burn wisdom at the same time.
The eternal fire burning inside the Zedi Black Tower is enough to split the light.
"Saar...my student..."
It was a dry sound.
What appeared in front of the silent Salvatore was Hugo's true form.
The skin all over his body was cracked, like Sui's father.
Bright flames are like snake letters, rising from under the cracks in the skin.
And his eyes were as bright as the scorching sun, and the shadows behind him were burning with fire. Hugo's sublime avatar stands behind him.
Under Salvatore's gaze, Hugo's sublime falsehood is disintegrating.
No expression could be seen on Salvatore's expressionless face.
But his vision suddenly blurred... Tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes.
He did not wipe it, but looked at Hugo in the furnace with his eyes open.
It's like, it's not because of sadness... but because the light that bursts out when Hugo burns his soul is too powerful.
"...Teacher, why are you doing this?"
Salvatore asked softly.
It may be different from what Annan and Isaac deduced before.
Salvatore did not persistently want to prevent Hugo from committing suicide and refused to accept the reality like a child having a tantrum. Instead, he quickly understood and accepted the matter.
——The mentor burns his soul, hoping to give himself some kind of gift.
He realized that he had no position to stop Hugo.
But he still hopes to know the reason: "Is it because I... am not strong enough?"
“I once dreamed of doing my best to change the world for the better and let the fire bearers after me follow my path...to create as many things as possible and make people as happy as possible.
"But I soon realized that this was my wish that would never be fulfilled. Just like the sun cannot shine on the earth forever, the world cannot only exist with light."
Hugo ignored Salvatore and just said to himself: "However, this realization is painful. When I realize that this is the dream of a fanatic chasing the sun... No matter It is extremely painful to continue to hold on to this tragic wish or to give it up.
"I think, since it will be painful no matter what, I would rather choose to protect it and suffer."
Hugo, whose burning flame became more intense, subconsciously wanted to touch Salvatore's hand.
But he soon realized that his body was on fire, and he slowly retracted his raised hand. ~IndoMTL.com~ I have dedicated my life to serving others, Sal. At the end of my life, I decided to be selfish...I will no longer consider your opinion and devote everything to you. ”
"...In this case, don't I have to follow your path?"
Salvatore muttered.
Under the scorching flames, his tears did not dry up.
The corners of Hugo's mouth seemed to be raised slightly.
But under the flames, it seemed to be just an illusion.
"Yes, it's a curse, Thrall."
Hugo's voice gradually deepened: "I curse you—curse you with my elements..."
In the forge where even the flames would be burned out, Hugo murmured lowly.
"...Salvatore Heita, you must become a good person and follow my path."
His voice fell, and the noble false body behind Hugo collapsed.
Hugo's head began to turn gray and gradually collapsed and shattered.
His voice gradually became distorted, and the raging fire gradually became as dim as coal.
"Thall, I will curse you...curse you with my soul and life."
As soon as Hugo finished speaking, his raised right hand turned into gray-white ashes and collapsed as fragile as a cigarette butt.
"Salvatore Black Tower, you want to...
"——Live happily."
