Chapter 23 Hugo, the Fire-bearer

[The archetype of truth] is the book of truth. This can only be seen from the face, and there is really no way to obtain it actively.

But as the new car Annan is Salvatore's only friend, so this is the least worry.

The rest is [the operation of four wheels]...that is, his perpetual motion machine.

Of course, although it is a perpetual motion machine, this requirement is as long as it is not "drawing power from the world" but owns its own independent energy source. It doesn't matter if the scale is not large, or it will still be exhausted in a long and distant future.

As long as it can be replenished manually.

For example, the energy generated by these souls is his [Four Wheels of Movement]; and the energy generated after they are saved becomes the [Four Wheels of Movement] necessary for the forgiveness of sinners to become gods.

But with Salvatore's path and mind, he wanted to complete the four-wheel operation alone... I'm afraid he would really be stunned to develop a perpetual motion machine.

This is what really stuck him. Because Salvatore really believes in the truth.

"So, the holy fire must be handed over to him."

The Lord of Hugo Tower replied, "The holy fire in the Black Tower of Zedi is the "unending fire" extracted by Prometheus using his flesh and blood as firewood and his wisdom as fuel.

"But just as two people exchange wisdom, they will not let their wisdom disappear; using wisdom to ignite the holy fire will not let their wisdom be lost... Instead, they can gain countless new knowledge.

"As long as I continue to study, think, and learn, the Holy Fire can be burned forever. Even if I have lost all my wisdom now, as long as I continue to extract the wisdom of my ancestors from the Holy Fire, I can add more wisdom to me.

"Just like firewood and firewood are close together, the fire will become stronger and brighter. This is the way of the black tower."

Speaking of this, Hugo gave a slight meal.

Then he said something that Annan had to pay attention to: "Your Majesty, what you may not know is that the holy fire preserved in the Black Tower of Zedi is the main energy for maintaining the unified barrier in the past."

"What?"

Annan was slightly surprised.

He really didn't know about this. What Annan knew was in the older past. In that era when the gray fog was still very thin, the elves had not yet built a great barrier, and the holy fire of the holy fire platform alone was enough to disperse the gray fog.

But he thought that the Great Enchantment was another more advanced technology... He never guessed that it was actually an optimization of the Holy Fire Station.

However, as long as he heard the Lord of Hugo Tower mention this, he quickly reacted: "So that's it... The reason why the former elves and wise men meditated in front of the Holy Fire Platform was to provide energy to the Great Barrier?"

“It’s not all.”

As the only mortal in the world who may be the only mortal who understands what the "holy fire" is, Hugo patiently explained: "The wisdom collection range of the holy fire is large, and the holy fire in the Black Tower of Zedi can collect the apprenticeship wisdom of the entire wizard tower as energy. The holy fire platform is a huge copper cup at least thirty meters high and up to eighty meters high. Its maximum radiation range can even reach a radius of twenty kilometers.

"Those great sages think under the sacred fire, but they don't think so that they can resonate with the wisdom of others and provide inspiration for themselves. Of course, it is impossible to be at their distance... This is just a superstitious self-comfort. If you want to gain wisdom from the sacred fire, you must at least immerse your whole body in the sacred fire."

“…Wait, is the collection range of the sacred fire so large?”

Annan keenly realized something: "Since that's the case, the collapse of the Great Enchantment back then..."

"You guessed it right. At least half of the reason is that the Holy Fire Platform is unsustainable."

The Lord of Hugo Tower sighed and told Annan the secret that only the Lord of the Tower of Zedi Black Tower knew: "It was not because the Holy Fire Tower, which lacked offerings, was extinguished during the bloody battle... This is just a rumor.

"Because even the wisdom of strategy, conspiracy and debate, can also be used as the nourishment of the Holy Fire. The Holy Fire does not only burn pure, philosophical and artistic wisdom... Although its color and smell will vary according to fuel, as long as it is wisdom, it can be used as fuel to maintain its combustion.

"Whether it is the wisdom of war, or the wisdom of farmers and fishermen, the wisdom of thieves and robbers, or the wisdom of adventurers to survive in the wild... As long as it is the wisdom of a gathering and political 'civilized race', it can continue the sacred fire, even humanoid races with low IQ. The minimum standard is to have written words of their own race."

As long as you think near the Holy Fire Platform, the "spark of wisdom" burst out will make the Holy Fire burn more vigorously.

"In fact, it was the collapse of the Great Enchantment that was first extinguished. Then there was that "bloody battle". Later historians used rituals to detect that the time when the Holy Fire Tower was extinguished was about the same time as the time when the bloody battle began, and then they judged that it was during the period of the bloody battle that the wise men were unwilling to take care of the holy fire, so that these holy fires would be extinguished.

"This principle is actually very simple. Think about it... If the thinking of the wise men can maintain the holy fire, then not everyone will actually defect to the great barrier supported by the righteous god."

Hugo said so.

……really.

Annan nodded.

If the debate and brainstorm of wise men can maintain the continuation of the sacred fire platform. They can move several sacred fire platforms, circle a piece of land and put the sacred fire platform to the four corners of the city gate, and then hold debates in the center of the city every day, and insert several university library research centers at four corners.

It can also dispel gray fog, why do you have to have a big barrier?

In that case, their purpose of war will change from fighting for the right to fighting for the Holy Fire Platform.

But the truth is... no one moved the heavy pyrotechnic platform at all.

No one even paid attention to them. To this day, these scattered pylon platforms are still tourist attractions in various places.

"It turns out that the Holy Fire Platform was extinguished earlier than the Great Enchantment..."

Annan murmured.

Before Annan could continue thinking, the Master of Hugo Tower continued: "With so many holy fire platforms, their lives all come from the Zedi Black Tower. Just a wise man of the ‘madman’ level voluntarily sacrificed his life, and he could transport the holy fire to other places.

"The specific method is to immerse yourself in the holy fire and hold a 'fire transmitter ceremony'. Then, their bodies will burn...but the flame will not make them feel hot, but will calm them down.

"And this flame will quickly burn their wisdom and the mysterious knowledge they have learned. All they have to do is to use the hiking method to rush to the target pyramid before they are burned out, and sit upright on the pyramid to hold the next part of the 'Firecaster's Ceremony'.

"They will quietly lose their lives in this holy fire. Their corpses can burn seven times the time they consume when they transmit fire. After the corpses are burned, the holy fire platform is completed, and the fire can be transmitted again... and the holy fire can be transmitted further.

"The root of all the holy fires comes from the 'primitive holy fire' in the Black Tower of Zedi. The former spiritual monk came to me to ask for the holy fire in the hope that he could become the 'fire transmitter'.

"He is the Stone of the Sage, and the Fire-Transferer, and there are many souls hidden in his body... Then he can use the Stone of the Sage to activate the elements of the soul, activate and awaken these souls; then use the wisdom of these souls as the fuel for the holy fire to burn forever; and heal himself with the endless power of the holy fire... so as to achieve an immortal body of immortality.

"The only requirement for consuming the Sage Stone is to be at the beginning. Once the cycle is completed, the system he invented can allow him to hold infinite life, infinite magic, infinite resurrection, and the only requirement for infinite element power is to hold the 'soul element' and develop it to the limit. If he has the Sage Stone in his hand, there are many 'scient souls'."

He first collected the souls of these wise men to use them to offer the holy fire.

This is the true path for the monk Chengling to become a god.

It was through this action of the monk Chengling that Hugo realized the value of the Holy Fire.

In addition to being the energy of Zedi Black Tower... it also has the possibility of becoming a perpetual motion machine.

It is impossible for him to himself, because he cannot do "thought all the time". As long as the holy fire leaves the black tower of the Zedi, without the wisdom of those apprentices and mentors as offerings, the holy fire will be extinguished when he sleeps.

But Salvatore is special.

He might sleep, but he would never stop thinking.

Because... while he was sleeping, there was another "Salvatore" still awake!

"I am not trying to make him the Lord of the Tower and the Prisoner of the Black Tower. Instead, I am trying to send him into immortality, not to create a god, but to make a pure and good man like Salvatore a god."

Hugo replied firmly: "I think we have passed on from generation to generation...it is probably for this moment."
