Chapter 24 The Dying Man

Hugo Tower Master finally succeeded in persuading Annan.

If he didn't want to imprison Salvatore in the Black Tower, but to let him recharge his energy and sublimate him into a god...

In any case, Annan has no reason to refuse such a good thing for Salvatore.

Although after the torch is handed over to Salvatore, he will temporarily stay in the Black Tower for a period of time. But this is not for a long time... It is not like becoming a prisoner of the Black Tower, like other tower masters, who will be locked in the Wizard Tower for the rest of their lives.

With the blessing of the holy fire, he can eventually become a god.

And this kind of future is not far away... Three or four years at the most, Salvatore, who no longer endures the "long-term insomnia" debuff, will be able to digest the income after becoming a golden-rank transcendent.

With his quality, he will definitely be able to obtain the Book of Truth.

When Salvatore is sublimated into a god with the help of the holy fire, he will be able to graduate from the status of "Tower Master".

When the time comes, Salvatore will leave another part of the holy fire for Zedi Hei Tower, and the inheritance of Zedi Hei Tower will not be cut off because of this.

As long as the holy flame is burning, the Zedi Black Tower can operate normally even without the protection of the tower master. Just like Maria doesn't need to look at the Tower of Storms all the time, as long as she can regularly absorb the violent power that the Tower of Storms cannot control, the rest of the time is very free.

Of course, the Tower of Storms is also extremely special among all wizard towers.

The Tower of Storms has not recruited new apprentices for a long time.

After all, strictly speaking... this place is no longer a teaching institution for cultivating wizard apprentices, but a "front line" for fighting against large-scale natural disasters.

The environment here is too dangerous, so parents dare not send their children here. Those wizards who work in the Tower of Storms also don't want to recruit bratty children with hands and feet.

Every time new people are recruited here, they have to go through thousands of selections. In most cases, they are the successors of a wizard or tower master... so they will experience the extremely high treatment of "many tutors only teach one student" that is difficult to see in other wizard towers.

That's why Maria grew up so fast.

As a local extraordinary person in this world, she also maintains the attitude of "If you can't enter the nightmare, you won't enter the nightmare". She was able to be promoted to gold at the age of sixteen or seventeen without gaining experience from killing people and basically not doing nightmare dungeons... Part of the reason is her talent, and the other part is the ultra-high standard education she received.

And if the concept of the Tower of Storms is "storm", the concept of Howling White Tower is a "gate" formed by two symmetrical white towers connected to each other at a high place. The "brilliance" of the show.

Then, the core concept of Zedi Black Tower is a raging fire.

And that is the case with fire—the fiercest fire, the brightest light, is not the oldest, nor the most holy.

Just like the flames worshiped by those sacred fire platforms in the past. Those flames are much stronger than the original fire guarded by Zedi Black Tower in terms of scale and power.

The primordial fire preserved in the Zedi Black Tower only has a certain sacredness in concept.

The holy fire placed on the holy fire platform can cover a radius of up to twenty kilometers; but the holy fire kept in the Black Tower of Zedi only has a radius of one-tenth.

Fire is fair and does not pay attention to authority. Only where there is the most fuel and the strongest wind can there be the most violent fire.

Fire is always burning and always new. The fire after each change of fuel can be said to be the previous cluster, or a new fire.

— Just like Salvatore.

But Annan was also a little curious...

With the character and talent of the senior, what type of book of truth will he get? Or was it directly targeted by the ownerless holy skeleton before that?

"Did you ask me to come here just to let me keep the secret for you for Salvatore?"

"That was just incidental.

The main purpose is to hope that His Majesty Annan will not interfere. "

The slender ghost controlled by Hugo tower master shrugged: "I once read such a sentence in a book called 'fate is the rut of the sky'. Probably your every move will have a 'fate' Bonus. I don't think I can fight against fate."

"So, what about the truth?"

Annan didn't care about this answer, and continued to ask.

Of course he wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense—just like he wouldn't believe those bosses who called themselves "mengxin". This is probably just a kind of self-effacement that is not humorous enough.

If the tower masters think that they are vulnerable to the so-called "fate", most of them will not be able to advance to the gold rank.

And Hugo Tower Master just smiled in a low voice.

Seeing Annan's dismissive attitude towards "fate", he became much friendlier instead: "Then stop joking, Your Majesty.

"Simply put, it's just that I've lost my vigor."

This is more prosaic, but at the same time more real words.

"If I were still young, even if I was twice as old as you are now, I'm afraid I wouldn't bother to explain to others, let alone win over allies so humbly—even if it's the Duke of Winter? I'm not People from Rinwinter don't need to earn Rinwinter's money, and they don't have any relatives and friends in Rinwinter Principality.

"But it's different now. I'm old and dying...I can see through the rest of my life at a glance. Any unexpected situation will disrupt my plans and keep me from getting things done."

Hugo's voice was so peaceful that it was almost humble: "If we fight, no matter whether we win or lose, the time I can stay in this world will be greatly shortened. Rather than having heart-to-heart talks after the meaningless battle is over, I would rather Before, a dispute was resolved through talking.

"It's like our conversation today, and it does have an effect, doesn't it?"

"really."

Annan nodded in agreement.

He has already understood the train of thought of Hugo Tower Master—this may also be a kind of "a person who is about to die, his words are good."

Hugo Tower Master has about two months of life left, but this is the remaining time when he does not engage in any high-level battles and does not use the power of elements at all.

He is indeed a proud man.

It's like Hugo defeated the master "Isaac" of a certain generation of the Jade Tower who was subdued by the Lingling Monk head-on. Even though Isaac was the pioneer of the profession of modern transformation wizard, Hugo fought against him without the slightest fear.

But now, facing a Grand Duke like himself who is only fifteen years old and has not advanced to the golden rank, he uses honorifics from beginning to end.

But Annan didn't really think that this was because Hugo's death was approaching and his heart was weak. Being able to calmly let go of dignity and pride in the face of mission may be another kind of greatness.

Also worthy of respect.
