Chapter 50 Heart Binding

On Julius' old face, a convincing and kind smile emerged: "[You are completely bored with making sculptures], even before you were depressed to the point of going crazy... Oh, shouldn't I tell you this ? Then please forget these words... well, you will forget this sentence later."

"Is this something I'm not supposed to know?"

There was a little panic on Annan's face.

But in his heart, he just remembered the details calmly.

... Although I didn't think about it specifically, there are too many details.

Annan didn't want to think for himself, but he still guessed everything easily.

Julius did not use hinting to force "Bernardino" to forget this sentence. Moreover, Doctor Julius had hinted at "Bernardino" from the very beginning.

In other words, this is a specially arranged lie trap in order to prevent "Bernardino" from realizing that the hint of amnesia has been planted for him from the very beginning.

Dr. Julius, not really a doctor.

In other words, he didn't hope from the bottom of his heart that "Bernardino" could recover...but hoped that he would give up this path.

——Father Ludwig gave up his life to pave the way to heaven for Bernardino.

I'm afraid that even Bernardino himself underestimated his talent in sculpture.

If Annan understands correctly...that is even the level where he has a chance to become a god.

He possesses such artistic talent, which means that he can easily reach the position of bishop and even enter the rank of cardinal. That's true "power" status.

For the fisherman's son, if he missed this opportunity, he would never find it...an opportunity to completely change his destiny.

Father Ludwig was sincere to Bernardino. It is impossible for him to agree to Bernardino's entry into the seminary, which means the waste of his talents. It is even more impossible for him to write any recommendation letter for Bernardino——

Because at this time, Father Ludwig is dead!

It was even killed by Bernardino himself!

Annan, as an elite ceremonial master,

It is very clear that...the process of Father Ludwig killed by Bernardino was a very complicated compound ceremony. This is obviously the product of Father Ludwig's careful design for a long time.

He specially imposed unreasonable restraints on Bernardino, making himself the "shackles" for Bernardino's pursuit of freedom.

Statues made by Bernardino in which there is a soul. Because he remembered the soul of what he saw and copied it again.

In other words, he was a sculptor of the "photographic memory" type. As long as you take a look at someone, you can carve an appearance similar to his soul without looking at the picture. Even if he used a disguise in front of Bernardino, he couldn't hide his true nature.

There is a basic requirement for the destruction ceremony... Only the "objects" one loves can be used for the destruction ceremony. That's why the priest asked him to make a large number of stone statues like himself, so as to confuse the difference between "killing" and "destroying rituals" in Bernardino's mind.

It is not "killing" the adoptive father, but "destroying" the shackles.

He used this method to turn himself into a "limiter" that restricted Bernardino's talent. Break all the constraints of Bernardino's background, education, character, morality, and imagination.

In this way, Bernardino's soul is no longer bound.

This is not just a simple destruction ceremony, but also a substitute ceremony using the "Law of Similarity"... just like burning "filthy things".

As long as Dr. Julius strips away Bernardino's guilt, fear, and confusion, Bernardino may even hope to become the next "stone father" and Yavon's follower of God!

... The whole process was like the priest's evaluation of Bernardino.

It's not about carving the stone into the desired shape; it's like the rough jade in the stone, and he just chisels away the rest.

The peerless sculptor, Father Ludwig.

He is not retiring, and wants to pass on his mantle to Bernardino.

Instead, it took several years... to sacrifice his own life to create a peerless sculpture.

——Bernardino itself is the last work of Father Ludwig!

The process of the ceremony itself is quite complicated, but it is very easy to understand if it is disassembled. As the professor of the Tower of Black Glory, Julius couldn't possibly be ignorant of this. Rather, he is the last link, a step to blow off the floating dust on the sculpture and polish it to shine.

But the old wizard Julius gave Bernardino another answer.

He erased the memory of Bernardino killing Father Ludwig, keeping him away from the path of sculpture. He even tricked him into entering the "Denisia Theological Seminary", claiming that Bernardino had already received a letter of recommendation from Father Ludwig.

This is naturally what Bernardino is looking forward to.

So he believed it.

In other words, after losing the most impactful and personality-reshaping experience of "Ritual: Great Destruction", Bernardino wants to believe this is true.

And what happened after that can be imagined...

——Of course Bernardino didn't lose any letters of recommendation.

Because there are no letters of recommendation at all, not in the first place.

It's just that he himself thought that "this letter of recommendation exists", because this incident clearly existed in his memory. And the reason why he kept on not going home or even contacting the old priest after he ran out of money was exactly the same.

He hopes to escape the fact that he "killed his adoptive father", and this kind of mentality is amplified and distorted by his psychiatrist-it becomes [You swore that you must become an outstanding big shot to go back to see Ludwig] such bondage.

This is not a curse, but a bondage of words.

It is the bondage of the heart.

After that, he couldn't make good sculptures anymore.

He was beaten back to the "apprentice" stage, and because the shackles were never broken, but bored instead, his work was worse than when he was an apprentice.

Annan even guessed...the one who invited Bernardino into the Tower of Black Glory in the end was probably Professor Julius.

Why would he invite a passerby to enter the Tower of Black Glory?

I'm afraid part of it is pity for his situation, and part of it is curiosity about the fate of this reunion...but more of it is to completely cut off Bernardino's sculpture path so that he will never go home , no more sculpture, no more epiphany.

Thus, Father Ludwig's sacrifice became meaningless.

——But it is by no means a well-planned trap.

Because it's filled with too many holes and too rushed. It was because Father Ludwig didn't want him to be distracted and overprotected, and Bernardino didn't understand the world of extraordinary people, so he accepted Julius's hints not vigilantly.

Bernardino's fate has come to this point, and he has embarked on another path.

But at its root...

"Hey……"

Annan sighed deeply and raised his head.

He stared at Julius quietly.

At that moment, a moment of astonishment flashed in Julius' eyes.

"...It's jealousy, right?"

He sighed softly: "I can see jealousy in your eyes.

"Jealousy of Bernardino, and... jealousy of your friend, Ludwig."
