"The most important things have been discussed," Hugo Pagoda Master said, his mind obviously relaxed a lot, "I still have some good things to share with you."
"Is it a good thing? Then take it out and take a look!"
Annan's eyes lit up and he teased Hugo half-jokingly.
Hugo and Chengling Monk were from the same era. Although he looked like a young man in his early twenties, he was actually about seventy or eighty.
From Hugo Tower Master's perspective, most of the things that can be mentioned to Annan specifically at this time are extremely rare treasures elsewhere.
Although Annan didn't have much interest in his inheritance, after all, he was "built into" the Black Tower in the Zedi when he was in his twenties. He was childless throughout his life, and all his inheritance had to be left to Salvatore.
For Salvatore, Annan can basically get whatever he wants.
"It's really good stuff."
This is not what Hugo said.
A somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar voice sounded outside the door.
As the "elevator" door was pushed open, a tall young man with white hair and green eyes walked out of the transparent pipe.
His milky white curly hair gives people a soft feeling, and his green pupils are reminiscent of cats. He is not wearing the iconic "black and red" robes of Zedi Black Tower, but is wearing pure white slim-fitting clothes, which will make people think of cats.
Reminiscent of the "Prince" in fairy tales.
The pure white jacket, pure white slim-fitting trousers, and pure white boots looked as if the whole person was sparkling. Apart from a small amount of silver runes rusted on his body, he was only decorated with many gemstones hanging on his body.
They are all made of thin slices of emerald, and the edges have even been specially polished to look like some kind of brooch.
Triangle, square, five-pointed star, six-pointed star, and seven-pointed star are based on these five shapes as templates. Many thin and thick gemstones about the size of breast pieces are hung on his collar, waist and right cuff with thin silver chains.
It's like the wind chime has become a spirit.
His whole body will make a crisp collision sound when he walks.
Annan looked at the young man's face, and after a few seconds he suddenly realized: "Are you... Sir Isaac?"
This was one of the trophies I got from him when I fought against the Spirit-bearing Monk in the past.
The spirit-carrying monk, who tore the body of remembrance from the grave of Isaac Flamel, the world's first transformation wizard, Nicholas' mentor and adoptive father, "Jade Record", used this remembrance body to construct an artificial spirit body.
"The real soul of 'Cuiyulu' has long since disappeared."
It was Isaac himself who was speaking and explaining at this moment: "I am just a false counterfeit. I have part of the memory of Isaac Flamel of the past 'Jade Record', filled with many worn souls... But
It's just a human skin doll stuffed with cotton wool.
"It just happens that there are still people who can make use of a funny doll like me. So under Mr. Hugo's skillful hands, I can still barely survive..."
Isaac commented harshly on himself: "Fortunately, the wizard who created my body is quite skillful. His life is not too ugly."
He unceremoniously crossed one leg and sat on Hugo's table.
Looking at Annan, Isaac felt a little nostalgic for a moment: "Looking at your Majesty, I think of Miss Zhiji..."
"Have you seen Paper Princess too?"
Annan raised his head and looked at Isaac sitting at the corner of the table to his right.
"Yes, I am her admirer."
Isaac smiled and his tone became gentler: "But I really have no talent in art. So I just admire him."
"……I have a question."
Annan was silent for a moment, then asked softly: "Sir Isaac...are you staying here voluntarily?"
"Don't call me Sir. I'm not Sir Isaac Flamel. I'm just a puppet with a part of his memory."
Isaac stretched out his index finger in front of his lips.
The corners of his mouth raised, revealing a charming smile: "I named myself Isaac II. Doesn't it sound a bit familiar?"
"...You look quite energetic."
Annan was a little helpless.
"That's natural. Doing some odd jobs in Zedi Black Tower is at least much better than living under His Excellency Chengling Monk. It's not so confusing, and you can also do some research... read books, and fiddle with some mechanisms."
Isaac sighed: "The times are developing so fast. More than a hundred years ago, I was the wisest person in the world... But now, I seem to be unable to compare with those children."
After he finished speaking, he organized his words before speaking softly: "Of course I stayed voluntarily. To be precise, I came to ask the owner of Hugo Tower to buy me a 'vessel' that can hold my soul."
."
When Isaac said this, he showed a somewhat melancholy and lonely smile.
"...Although it is meaningless, I still want to repay something for my son...for Nikolai."
He liked to call his adopted son Nicholas Nicholas.
Sir Isaac, like the owner of Hugo Tower, had no children.
In other words, many tower owners are like this. They can be selected as successors by the Wizard Tower. These "talents" are not just the difference in intelligence and talent. Passion, perseverance, determination... these are also part of talents.
To repay Nicholas' debt...
Annan was thoughtful.
"After you finish teaching this month's courses and give the children exams, you can follow His Majesty Annan first."
Hugo gave instructions to the puppet named "Isaac II".
Later, he explained to Annan: "The inheritance of Zedi Black Tower is not achieved overnight. He should need to sleep for a long time... at least half a month. And by this time I was already dead.
"As for Isaac II, he has the authority of a high-level teacher and can use the resources of Zedi Black Tower during this period; he also has the gold-level 'Jade Record' profession, which can protect you and Zedi Black Tower.
Tower, you can also teach Thrall how to use the ability of 'Fire Stealer' for me.
"If you need a trustworthy transformation wizard, you might as well try asking Isaac. He is not the real Sir Isaac, so you don't have to feel any psychological pressure... You don't have any objections, right?"
This last sentence was when Hugo turned to ask Isaac.
Isaac smiled and said: "Of course not...I'm honored.
"Your Majesty Annan is a good boy at first glance. Even if I risk my vain life, I will never let others hurt him."
He said with great certainty.
That was by no means an oath made out of courtesy and ceremony.
Annan couldn't help but take a breath and pursed his lips.
Is it an illusion?
I always feel that Mr. Isaac's initial favorable impression of me is a little high...
"One last thing...that's it."
Master Hugo Tower whispered.
The slender ghost bent down and reached out to take Annan's hand. He gently placed a strange gem in Annan's hand.
The moment he bought it, a prompt suddenly appeared on Annan's side:
[Unpurified Nightmare Fragments Detected]
[Level requirement: Silver level]
[Professional requirements: Hold a wizard profession]
[Special requirements: You must master soul-stealing spells and have your own spiritual servants]
[If the requirements are met, you will fall into a nightmare in ten seconds, ten, nine...]
Annan immediately put it on the table.
He recognized what it was at a glance.
This is why the right eye of "Spirit-bearing Monk" Bernardino is not an eyeball made of flesh and blood, but a spherical gemstone embedded in the eye socket.
"This is Bernardino's nightmare."
Hugo whispered: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. This nightmare has special properties. I can't enter this twisted nightmare... I can only use special skills to greatly reduce its difficulty. Now this nightmare is
Failure will not cause any harm. This is the limit of what I can do."
"It doesn't matter...it's better to say it."
The corner of Annan's mouth raised slightly: "I prefer to explore nightmares by myself. This will help me understand their lives better.
"I have always believed that the purifier of nightmares...are the tombstones with the life of the deceased engraved on them. I am willing to be such a tombstone."
