The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 398: Bernardino as a child
Denton looked around.
... He has some impression of this place.
This extremely familiar hot and humid sea breeze made Denton immediately recognize...this must be the Field Islands of the United Kingdom.
But which island exactly?
The Field Islands consists of seven islands of varying sizes. The largest Yongquan Island is about 12,000 square kilometers, and the smallest Diamond Island is only 6,000 square kilometers. Their population is only a few hundred thousand, which is not as large as the number of residents in Noah's capital.
Each island in the Field Islands was once a kingdom or principality... As losers in the **** battle, they donated all their property to the Denisoans, and were mercifully distributed by Yavon. Small islands everywhere.
So the laws will be different on each island.
Each island even has its own wizard tower - from this perspective, the density of wizard towers in the United Kingdom may be the highest.
Denton's illusory body outlined with ice blue lines was suddenly painted with a layer of flesh and blood, turning into a middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat with a slightly red and cracked face.
——This question is simple.
Just look for the island's landmarks.
The icy blue halo in Denton's eyes lit up slightly and then went out, and a thick layer of clouds quickly accumulated on the island.
As the moist and cold sea breeze blew by... Soon, soft drizzle began to fall.
His perception range immediately spread to the entire island.
So I could clearly see the huge dark blue lighthouse in the north. And on the top of the lighthouse, there is a huge hemispherical diamond with thousands of facets that reflects the iridescent aurora.
This is such an iconic building that it cannot be copied.
"Azure Diamond Tower..."
Denton murmured: "It turns out that the 'Pure Medium' is a person from the Diamond Island."
This actually surprised him.
Aren't people from the Silmarillion Island generally command wizards or guardian knights?
How did you end up on the path of a traditional soul-stealing wizard?
Denton is actually from the United Kingdom.
But he is different from those country people. He is a full-blooded Denisoyan.
——Even though they are nominally citizens of the "United Kingdom of Denisoia and Field Islands", they themselves tend to call themselves "I am from the Kingdom of Denisoia" or "I am from a certain An island”.
Because they were actually countries that were forced to unite at the end of a cruel world war - the "Blood Battle." To the Denisoans, the Field Islands are just many villagers who were conquered by their ancestors and whose original country was lost in **** battles.
If the Field Islands had not been left for them so that some of them could touch the great barrier of Yaweng, they would have been completely defeated in the **** battle - either rolled to the underground world or exposed to the gray mist bingo.
But for the Field Islands, they have never been subjugated... they just have no people, no money, and no army.
To this day, they still retain the throne inheritance of many kingdoms and principalities, and the royal bloodline has not been completely cut off. It can be said that each island is a small kingdom...but these kingdoms are so in name only that no one recognizes them.
After all, the formulation and implementation of laws still depend on what the Parliament and the Prime Minister say.
"Kings", in Yaweng's country, words may not always mean what they say.
In the United Kingdom, the royal family is just a slightly larger aristocracy.
"Origin from Diamond Island..."
Denton frowned slightly.
The Azure Diamond Tower is not famous for its soul-stealing school. Is this why he found another way?
——Go and ask yourself.
He had already located the location of the owner of the dream through the drizzle.
Denton took a step forward and his body instantly turned into a blurry shadow.
He appeared again next to a little boy with dark skin and a thin body.
The boy is about ** years old and has very rough skin. Wearing soil-stained slippers, khaki shorts, and a somewhat worn shirt, he squatted on the beach, lowering his head and drawing outlines on the ground with branches.
No matter how you look at it... they are all ordinary fishermen's children.
...Is this what Bernardino Telesio, the "Pure Psychic", looked like as a child?
The man who forced himself into a desperate situation can also be considered a top-level strongman in the gold level?
Denton was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.
But there was no lag in his movements.
Although time passes slowly in dreams, it cannot be delayed at will.
As the ice-blue flames in Denton's eyes trembled slightly, his image was completely changed from his feet up.
In the blink of an eye, Denton turned into a serious-faced middle-aged man wearing a purple robe.
The purple robe is a characteristic of the priests of Yaweng. Just like the clergy of Silver Siren would wear long white suits.
Denton did a rough reading of his mind and learned that this was the person Bernardino respected the most, a well-known sculptor and the priest of Javon.
"Bell."
Denton made a majestic voice behind Bernardino.
After hearing this, Bernardino immediately raised his head, stood up quickly, flicked the dirt on his body, and responded vaguely:
"Yes, Father Ludwig."
"Have you done your homework today?"
"Yes...I've finished it."
Little Bernardino did not raise his head, but lowered his head and muttered vaguely: "I made the clay sculpture before I came to play with it."
"You should try harder, Bernardino."
Denton skillfully used the memory stolen from Bernardino's heart, and warned solemnly: "Have you finished reading "On the Human Body" and "Consolidated Beauty" I gave you?
"Practice your skills well. You are very talented... Even if you cannot become a famous sculptor, even if you sell some dolls, you will not live like your father..."
If he were to follow the gentle character of the real "Father Ludwig", he would certainly not have mentioned this matter.
Bernardino's father is a fisherman.
While he was out fishing, he was buried at the bottom of the sea due to a sudden wave. The only remnant of him left in the world is the somewhat worn fisherman's hat on Bernardino's head.
But Denton's fundamental purpose is to undermine Bernardino's self-confidence without any trace.
This is what Bernardino subconsciously believes to be the most important scene in his life - as long as Denton destroys the positive effect of this scene on him, and even makes him have suicidal impulses and suicide, these memories will will be covered and implanted in Bernardino's mind.
After Denton leaves his dream, he can easily detonate this feeling and make Bernardino commit suicide on the spot.
This is not the first time he has used this technique to kill someone.
Even as a gold-level transcendent, he has used this tactic to kill one person and seriously injure another.
The only drawback is that he exists as a spirit body in the other party's memory. If the opponent is a wizard from the soul-stealing, idol, or edict school, or a priest with the ability to purify, once he realizes that something is wrong, he may launch a fatal counterattack against him.
But Bernardino was too late to fight back.
Denton's skills were too skillful - he did not destroy all of Bernardino's self-defense anchors, but cleverly avoided them.
This is equivalent to him sneaking in without triggering any alarms. As long as his modifications were not too bizarre, Bernardino would not be aware of them at all.
Unless Bernardino actively realizes that he is now in the depths of his sea of consciousness... otherwise he will not be wary at all.
But when faced with "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? You can rest if you are tired, but you can't do it if you don't study.
"We are not related, so I cannot support you for the rest of your life. Bernardino, I also have children of my own. I care about your food and accommodation because you are my apprentice.
"If you don't learn sculpture, I won't have to support you. Do you understand?"
"No, I am——"
Little Bernardino's voice suddenly rose a little.
But when he looked at the priest, 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."
Bernardino said seriously: "I want to study."
"Who will support you?"
Denton asked back: "I will not support you."
His ruthless and rational words did not surprise Bernardino.
He just lowered his head and said nothing. After a long time, he responded in a low voice: "Yes, I will study hard..."
At this moment, Denton's heart moved.
The moment he just said this line~IndoMTL.com~Bernardino was a little shaken and became more defensive. Denton also dug out more and deeper memories from Bernardino's heart:
This familiar conversation happened four years later in Bernardino's memory. At that time, Father Ludwig thought about it and said that since he was old and mature, he could recommend studying at Denisoja Seminary in Bernardino.
If all goes well, he should be able to become a priest of Yawen, a philosopher, and a natural scientist.
...But the letter of introduction written by Father Ludwig to Bernardino, along with the priest's token and the tuition fee given to him, were lost along the way.
Bernardino was disheartened at the time, but did not dare to go home. He could only wander around Denisoya and became a scavenger in the art city, earning a living by relying on his half-baked sculpture skills.
It was at that time that he met a soul-stealing wizard from the Black Glory Tower. The other party took a fancy to his sculpting ability that seemed to have a soul, and wanted to invite him to become a school worker.
Maybe he can modify his memory in this place——
