And it is completely different from the education and information I have received... It can even be said to be completely opposite.
Whether Nefertari cannot accept it and becomes confused, or is so desperate that he is hysterical because he has been deceived so far, or he simply does not believe their words - it is all understandable.
Annan and Benjamin have already made corresponding preparations.
But they didn't expect...
Nefertari accepted it all calmly.
"...Is that really the case?"
She murmured quietly.
There was a bright fire in his eyes.
"You expected this?"
Annan asked with interest.
——That’s not what you said before.
Nefertari just shook his head.
"No," she looked at Annan and replied seriously, "To be precise, it was after we came out of the nightmare... From that time on, I suddenly felt a sense of dissonance.
"Although I didn't directly become a supernatural person because I gained power from the nightmare. But I seemed to get something from it. It greatly strengthened my intuition."
Nefertari stretched out the slender index finger of his right hand and pointed at his temple with a calm expression, just biting his lip slightly: "Although the teacher has lied to me a lot...but the talents I have developed have not been in vain.
My mind will not become stupid because of this.
"And after I woke up, I took the potion to strengthen my thinking ability as soon as possible. Although I almost forgot all about the scene in the nightmare, I instinctively had some doubts about the teacher... I believe that I
own intuition.
"I must have seen something."
Nefertari said solemnly: "If it can make me doubt the teacher, it means that it must be strongly contrary to something I know. Even if I have forgotten that thing, since this feeling
It remains in my heart...that is the 'trace' left by the past me, and the 'clue' that gave me doubts."
"That's the power of [understanding]."
Annan replied.
He said slowly: "This nightmare does not give people the power of curse, but it can directly give people the adaptability of the [understanding] element. In other words, it can directly allow a person who does not have extraordinary talents to directly obtain
Tickets to the Golden Level.”
"I see."
Nefertari nodded: "Not everyone can extract elements from their souls. Strong and pure desire itself is also a talent.
"This represents people's 'directivity'... This is also the result of the teacher's research. Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier..."
Human thoughts are scattered and desires are changeable. People are ordinary people who are distracted and unable to control themselves... Exuberant desires themselves will cause them to lose control.
The ability to always solidify desire in a certain direction, and to rely on desire to continuously move in a certain fixed direction, is the adaptability of elements.
For example, those who are "painting demons", "harp demons", or "people who are obsessed with power", "people who will do anything for justice", the "desire" of such people is the qualification to advance to gold.
It can indeed be formed later.
But most of them cannot be cultivated artificially.
No matter how weak a mortal is, as long as someone gives them a complete strategy and a ritualist or a priest stabilizes their mind, they can clear the nightmare and become a transcendent. After that, as long as they continue to feed "nightmares with strategies", they can easily
Upgrade along the way.
At least up to the silver level, they can all be piled up through resources.
Those little wizards who study in the wizard tower basically hope to become great wizards and change their lives.
But there are some people whose lives don't need to be changed by the power gained by extraordinary beings.
——Not all powerful people will become extraordinary.
It's just that they know a little more than ordinary people.
They knew from the very beginning...the gold level requires talent.
Whether you have this kind of talent can be called "whether you have extraordinary talents."
For example, Annan’s brother Dmitry.
He has known for a long time that he is unlikely to have the elements to adapt; no matter how strong his desire is, he will only become a madman.
Since it is impossible to advance to the gold level, there is no possibility of sublimating into a god.
Then there is really no need to become an extraordinary person.
"Directivity...?"
Thinking of this, Annan was silent for a moment.
He and Nefertari looked at each other, and their eyes became heavy.
He finally figured it out.
"Dream Eater" Trissino, what are the "bright dreams" that he swallowed as sacrifices...
——That is the "talent of awakening elements" itself.
Those children, their original bright dreams were changed. They also became mediocre because of it... The biggest difference here may be that their original "element adaptability" was robbed by Trissino.
That is indeed an extremely precious "sacrifice".
Although the chance that a child with this kind of talent might embark on the extraordinary path is very small - only one out of ten of them would choose this path, and it would be even rarer for them to survive to the Silver level. By then,
Those whose original intention has not changed will have to be screened out... After all, even if Trissino doesn't take action, the "original intention" itself may change.
And if they can go through these many ups and downs, they can reach the dyed position and become true extraordinary beings.
"In this case, the reason why Justus suddenly upgraded from a mortal to a gold level within five years has been found."
Nefertari said seriously: "It is impossible for normal people to advance so quickly——"
Hearing this, the silent plate of Longjing tea suddenly raised its head and silently glanced at the cat sitting on Annan's lap.
Annan's face does not change color, there is nothing strange about it.
"And there was almost no obstacle for him to go from the silver level to the gold level. At first, I thought it was Justus who was outstanding. Now it seems that he may be like an older brother..."
Having said this, Nefertari paused.
Annan understood what she meant.
If we say that the "Saint Thief" Alfonso is a "man-made saint".
Then Justus may be the "artificial golden level".
Annan had already seen it from his nightmare.
Lian Neng Messenger is not Justus' family profession at all, nor is it a job transfer controlled by "Gray Professor". It is Justice's childhood sweetheart "Allison", the eldest lady who married him.
Profession mastered.
Justus himself also has the talent to become a transcendent, at least he cannot be looked down upon by his father-in-law. In fact, his father-in-law has even begun to prepare to find a mortal son-in-law... How could such a person treat Jia Si?
Justus picks and chooses? Not to mention that they are childhood sweethearts, and even Justus is the one Alison pursues.
Alison's family even has a powerful curse passed down from generation to generation. In other words, they don't actually need a "powerful son-in-law", but an "heir".
This shows that they must have the corresponding training knowledge of extraordinary beings.
——Then, here comes the problem.
Since Justus didn't go to see Professor Gray for some vulgar reason like "not worthy of his childhood sweetheart's family".
Why does he go to Gray Tower to study?
What can he learn?
Professor Gray is not a stalker at all, nor is he a courier. He is even less likely to have a gold-level career inheritance that can directly lead to a courier... And Allison's family only needs a successor, and the silver-level one is
Best case scenario.
If you advance to gold, your life may be short-lived and you may not be able to leave more heirs.
Therefore, it is impossible for Alison to want Justus to advance to the gold level.
——Then the answer is self-evident.
What Professor Gray gave him was some kind of "element power" that had been hatched.
Just like the [understanding] that Annan and Nefertari gained.
It directly adds a talent to people out of thin air.
Just like [understanding] sharpens the intuitions of Annan and Nefertari.
The elements that Justus obtained will definitely change his behavior and thinking habits——
"Everything fell into place."
Annan looked at Nefertari.
Only Nefertari is special.
There are two possibilities here.
"...Or, it's because you refuse to become a transcendent. You may not have the talent for the power of 'elements'. After all, your reaction after getting [understanding] is much greater than mine. This possibility is not too low.
"
Annan narrowed his eyes: "But this means... your specialness was decided before you entered school.
"Then, there is a second possibility——"
"——My value is because I don't have this talent, and I don't want to be an extraordinary person."
Nefertari continued.
She made a low and slightly magnetic voice: "I am an 'anchor'.
"——This is the proof that Seti, the Bone Healer, truly exists in the world."
