[The Prototype of Truth] is the Book of Truth. This can only be seen in appearance, and there is really no way to obtain it actively.
But as the new Nintendo, Annan is Salvatore's only friend, so this is the least need to worry.
All that's left is the movement of the four wheels... which is his unique perpetual motion machine.
Of course, although it is a perpetual motion machine, as long as this demand is not to "extract power from the world", but to have its own independent energy source, it doesn't matter even if the scale is not very large or it will be exhausted in the long future.
.
Just add it manually.
For example, the energy generated by these souls that drives the Bones Lord's action "Death of a Nation" is his [Four Wheels]; and the energy generated after they are transcended becomes the [Four Wheels] necessary for the Sin Absolver to become a god.
operation].
But with Salvatore's road and stubbornness, if he wants to complete the operation of four wheels alone... I'm afraid he will really be stunned to develop a perpetual motion machine.
This is what will really kill him. Because Salvatore really accepts death.
"That's why the sacred fire must be given to him."
Hugo Tower Master replied: "The holy fire of the Zedi Black Tower is the 'endless fire' extracted by Prometheus using his own flesh and blood as fuel and wisdom as fuel.
“But just as two people exchange wisdom, it will not make their own wisdom disappear; using wisdom to light the holy fire will not make their own wisdom disappear...On the contrary, they can gain countless new knowledge.
"As long as I continue to study, think, and learn, the Holy Fire will burn forever. Even though I have lost all my wisdom now, as long as I continue to extract the wisdom of my ancestors from the Holy Fire, it will add more to me.
Much wisdom.
"Just like firewood and firewood close together, the fire will become stronger and brighter. This is the way of the Black Tower."
Having said this, Hugo paused slightly.
Then he said something that Annan had to pay attention to: "Your Majesty, what you may not know is... the sacred fire preserved in the Zedi Black Tower was the main energy source for maintaining the unified barrier in the past."
"What?"
Annan was slightly startled.
He really didn't know about this. What Annan knew was in the more ancient past. In that era when the gray fog was still very thin, the elves had not yet built a large barrier, and the holy fire from the Holy Fire Tower alone was enough to dispel the gray fog.
But he thought that the Great Barrier was another more advanced technology... He never guessed that it was actually an optimization of the Holy Fire Tower.
However, as soon as he heard Hugo Pagoda Master mention it like this, he quickly reacted: "So that's it...the reason why the elven sages in the past meditated in front of the sacred fire platform was to provide energy for the great barrier?"
"Actually, not entirely."
As the only mortal in the world who may understand what the "holy fire" is, Hugo patiently explained: "The wisdom collection range of the holy fire is very large. The holy fire of the Zedi Black Tower can collect the wisdom of the apprentices of the entire wizard tower as energy. And
The Holy Fire Tower is a huge copper cup that is at least thirty meters high and can be at most eighty meters high. Its maximum radiation range can even reach a radius of twenty kilometers.
"Those great sages think under the sacred fire platform, not all for the purpose of providing energy... They just think that this can resonate with other people's wisdom and provide inspiration for themselves. Of course, it is impossible with their distance...
This is just a superstitious self-comfort. If you want to get wisdom from the holy fire, you must at least be immersed in the holy fire."
"...Wait a minute, is the collection range of the Holy Fire so large?"
Annan was keenly aware of something: "In this case, when the great barrier collapsed..."
"You guessed it right. At least half of the reason is because the Holy Fire Tower cannot be sustained."
Hugo Pagoda Master sighed and told Annan this secret that probably only the Zedi Black Tower Tower Master knew: "It was not because during the bloody battle, the Holy Fire Tower was extinguished due to lack of support... it was just a
rumor.
"Because even the wisdom of strategy, conspiracy and debate can also be used as nourishment for the holy fire. The holy fire does not only burn pure wisdom of philosophy and art... Although its color and smell will change according to the fuel,
But any wisdom can be used as fuel to keep him burning.
"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 surviving in the wild... As long as it is the wisdom of a gathering, political 'civilized race', it can be used
The Holy Fire can be continued even by humanoid races with low IQs. The minimum standard is that they have written texts of their own race."
As long as you think near the Holy Fire Tower, the "sparks of wisdom" that burst out will make the Holy Fire burn brighter.
"In fact, it was the Holy Fire Tower that went out first, which led to the collapse of the Great Barrier. Then there was the 'bloody battle'. It was later historians who used rituals to detect the time when the Holy Fire Tower went out and the start of the Bloody Battle.
When the time was almost up, it was concluded that during the bloody battle, the wise men had no intention of caring for the sacred flames, and these sacred flames were extinguished.
"This truth is actually very simple. If you think about it...if the thinking of wise men can maintain the holy fire, then not everyone will defect to the great barrier supported by the Righteous God."
Hugo said so.
……really.
Annan nodded.
If the wise men's debates and brainstorming can maintain the continuation of the Holy Fire Tower, they can move several Holy Fire Towers, circle them around the four corners of the city gate, and then hold debates every day in the center of the city.
Just insert a few university library research centers into one corner.
It can also dispel the gray fog, so why do we need a big barrier?
In that case, their war purpose would change from fighting for occupation rights to fighting for the Holy Fire Tower.
But the fact is... there is absolutely no one to carry those heavy torches.
No one even pays attention to them. To this day, these scattered torch towers are still tourist attractions in various places.
"It turns out it's because the Holy Fire Tower was extinguished earlier than the Great Barrier..."
Annan murmured.
Without waiting for Annan to continue thinking, the master of Hugo Tower continued: "With so many sacred fire towers, their lives all come from the Black Tower in the Zeland. As long as a wise man of the 'madman' level voluntarily sacrifices, he can
Move the sacred fire to other places.
"The specific method is to immerse themselves in the holy fire and perform the 'Fire Bearer Ceremony'. Afterwards, their whole bodies will burn... but the flame will not make them feel hot, but will make them calm.
"And this flame will quickly burn away their wisdom and the mysterious knowledge they have learned. What they have to do is to use the method of hiking to get to the target holy fire platform before they are burned out, and sit on the holy fire platform.
Perform the next part of the 'Firebringer Ritual'.
"They will lose their lives quietly in this holy fire. And their corpses can burn seven times the time it takes for them to pass the fire. After the corpses are burned out, the holy fire platform is complete, and the fire can be passed again...
Spread the holy fire further.
"All holy fires originate from the 'original holy fire' of Zedi Black Tower. In the past, the Spirit-bearing Monk came to me to ask for the holy fire, hoping to become a 'fire bearer'.
"He is both the Philosopher's Stone and the Fire Bearer, and he also has many souls hidden in his body... Then he can use the Philosopher's Stone to activate the elements of the soul, activate and awaken these souls; and then use the wisdom of these souls
Use it as fuel for the holy fire to keep it burning forever; and use the endless power of the holy fire to heal yourself... In this way, you can achieve immortality.
"The real need to consume the Philosopher's Stone is only at the very beginning. Once the cycle is completed, the system he invented will allow him to possess unlimited life, unlimited magic power, unlimited resurrections, and unlimited elemental power.
The only requirement is to possess the 'Soul Element' and develop it to its limit. With the Philosopher's Stone in your hand, you will have many 'Sage Souls'."
He first collected the souls of these wise men in order to use them to support the Holy Fire.
This is the true path for a spiritual monk to become a god.
It was through this act of the spiritual monk that Hugo realized the value of the sacred fire.
In addition to being the source of energy for the Black Tower in the Swamp... it also has the potential to become a perpetual motion machine.
It is impossible for him, because he cannot "think all the time". As long as the holy fire leaves the Black Tower of the Zeland, without the wisdom of those apprentices and mentors as support, the holy fire will go out when he sleeps.
But Salvatore is special.
He may sleep, but he never stops thinking.
Because... while he was sleeping, there was another "Salvatore" who was still awake!
"I don't want him to become the master of the tower or a prisoner of the Black Tower. But to send him into immortality is not to create a god, but to make a pure and kind person like Salvatore a god."
Hugo replied firmly: "I think we pass on the fire from generation to generation... probably just for this moment."
