The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 114: Pope Trissino
"Master Benjamin...should I call you His Highness Benjamin now?"
Longjing Cha sat on the sofa and smiled at Benjamin sitting on the other side of the table: "But, after all, you are my teacher's teacher... In our place, we should actually call you master."
"Just a title."
Benjamin put down the tea cup and made a low voice: "I'm not from the idol school. You can call me whatever you want."
Not the same as with other people.
Benjamin’s attitude towards Longjing tea is surprisingly good.
He placed the dark golden oval mirror in his arms on the left side of his desk. Benjamin himself took off his papal robes.
Longjing Cha understood what he meant.
Benjamin is saying... His current identity is not the Pope, but a wizard from the Black Tower in the Zeland.
After the destruction of the Zedi Black Tower, there were not many wizards from the Zedi Black Tower. Salvatore was Benjamin's most outstanding disciple, and Longjing Cha was Salvatore's eldest disciple. The relationship between them is still quite close.
"Wizards from the Idol School, do they care about their titles?"
"Yes. Very much."
Benjamin nodded.
"For them, 'title' is the root of all power. Whether it is name, position, title, nickname... Idol school wizards can gain strength from other people's attitude towards themselves, and they will also gain strength from others' attitudes towards themselves. If you call yourself different names, you will change your attitude towards them."
He picked up a piece of snack and said casually.
Longjing Cha nodded as if he understood: "That is to say...if you are a wizard of the Idol School, then if I call you Master and Pope, your attitude towards me will be completely different. Different?"
"No. It's not that 'my attitude towards you will become different'. It's that the person who responds to you is not actually the 'same person'."
Benjamin shook his head and gave an example: "You should know that His Highness Annan went to purify Justus' nightmare, right?"
"Yes...but Justus is not an idol wizard, right?"
"Justus is indeed not the 'Immortal Shield'. But in his nightmare, 'Professor Wolf' Frederick will inevitably appear... You know that Frederick was expelled from the Melvin family? Something?
"For idol wizards, the negative impact of being removed from the list is far more profound than that of ordinary people-that's why it can become a punishment."
In the Principality of Winter, where "one is not born until one is given a name", being delisted is tantamount to directly depriving one of all rights as a human being.
But for idol wizards, being removed from the list can even damage their souls.
Because they will bind the 'title' together with the corresponding 'identity'.
Benjamin explained: "When Frederick still had the surname Melvin, if he was called by his full name with the surname, it would call out the divinity in his soul... because in him As a Melvin, he is the 'Son of God'. If you avoid his name and call him by his nickname, the only person who responds will be a mortal.
"Then after he is deprived of the surname Melvin, he will not be able to use the power of the 'Son of God'. All the power of 'Melvin' will disappear together.
"Although destroying wizards is recognized as the most dangerous profession, in my opinion, idol wizards are equally dangerous. Their danger lies in the fact that they may lose themselves at any time."
"That's it."
Longjing Tea suddenly understood.
I probably understand.
If ordinary people use one character to work as a game account for multiple professions at the same time, then the idol wizard is the type who opens a separate character for each profession.
"That means that idol wizards must plan their own lives, right?"
"You are right. There is no turning back for idol wizards, and the decisions they make must continue to be made. Once they give up a certain identity, it means they give up all the power they have gained from this identity. ”
"So that's it..."
Longjing Cha murmured: "Then we still have to let Ah Dian go to the Bone Healer."
"Ah Dian?"
Benjamin asked: "Is he your friend?"
"She can be considered a junior, she has the adaptability of the idol school," Longjing Cha nodded, "Since there is no turning back from the idol school, then naturally we have to find the best teacher for her."
"...My advice is don't go."
After a long silence, Benjamin frowned.
Huh?
Longjing Tea asked in surprise: "Why?"
As soon as he spoke, he immediately reacted:
"——Is there something wrong with the Bone Healer?"
"His previous title as 'Bone Healer' Seti was 'Grey Professor' Seti. And before that, he had another title...
"Seti is just his surname. His real name is 'Trissino Seti', the 'god of murder and conspiracy' who is the pope of the tragedian."
Benjamin said slowly.
How can a mere mortal steal the power of the man in the mirror who "will become a **** in the future"? Even the man in the mirror cannot see into the future...
Without a doubt.
That requires the tragedy writer himself to do it!
"The tragedy writer is also known as the 'drunken fanatic', the 'god of drama and fables', and the 'lamenter'. "Writer of the trilogy.
"——At least on the road of 'Law of Similarity', the tragedy writer has gone further than anyone else. This was also the 'creative work' and the 'supreme crown' of the tragedy writer when he ascended to God.~ IndoMTL.com~ After the completion of His ascension ceremony, His research depth was far superior to that of anyone in the world. After His ascension until now, there has been no new breakthrough in the law of similarity... Like Melvin, who studies similarities Lu’s family continues his research results to this day.
"Whether it is the 'Bone Healer' or the 'Professor Wolf', the law of similarity they master is directly inherited from the school of tragedians.
"Unless you are learning arcane knowledge from the Bone Healer... I do not recommend learning anything from him. Especially wizards from the Idol School."
Because their fates will really be intertwined through the process of "teaching".
Benjamin said, looking in the direction where Annan was sleeping.
Annan has long been associated with the tragedy writer.
Before Annan lost his memory, he escaped from the tragedy writer's conspiracy and made a bet with the tragedy writer.
This fate seemed to be strengthened later... He should have seen the tragedy writer's nightmare again, or solved the conspiracy of his followers.
The tragedian is not a paranoid man of power.
He is an appreciator of misfortunes, fate, and coincidences... He is keen to watch the unfortunate fate of others and lament for them; but he also looks forward to having a shining soul to smash overlapping conspiracies and use 'impossibility' The momentum creates a 'heroic' epic.
Whether it is the victory of the conspiracy or the failure of the conspiracy, He can be pleased.
After all, He is just a crazy "playwright".
——He is just looking forward to a more exciting story.
In other words...
As long as it is an interesting enough soul and an interesting enough destiny. They may all be targeted by tragedians.
"——At that time, there is really no way to escape."
Benjamin said so solemnly.
