One of them is that his lifespan has actually been exhausted.
He seemed to be from Academy City, living in the life-saving tank of the Black Tower of the Zede every day, relying entirely on the Holy Fire of the Black Tower of the Zede to maintain his vitality. When he came out of it, he still looked like he was in his twenties.
A young man... However, this does not mean that his time has stayed in his twenties.
It's because Hugo is in the heart of the Black Tower in the Zeland and has deceived the whole world as a "cursed material".
When Hugo entered the Black Tower of the Marsh, although he retained his sanity and control over the Black Tower of the Marsh, his identity at that time was only the "Lord of the Tower" and the "Main Battery of the Black Tower of the Marsh"
, and is no longer a wizard...because he has lost control of his body.
If Hugo stays in there and doesn't come out, he can even stay in there for a long, long time. Until his mind is burned to the point of being completely blank by the holy fire... In that case, the inheritance mechanism of the Zedi Black Tower will automatically start.
However, once Hugo reconnects his body and voluntarily leaves the confinement state of the Black Tower in the Zeland, he will immediately lose the characteristics of the cursed material and thus break away from this equilibrium state. His theory has reached
As we age, our bodies begin to undergo rapid “compensatory aging.”
In addition, Hugo's soul has been burned to the limit and has become nothing more than an empty shell. Even his mind has become sluggish, just like a real old man, with slow reactions.
Hugo like this would not only be unable to continue his life with his golden soul, but would even accelerate the aging of his body due to the weakening of his soul.
But after all, Hugo did not die because his soul burned out... but because aging is a slow, powerless death.
He chose to burn all his soul now and pass on all his power to Salvatore. In fact, it was because he couldn't stand being so close to death... but he still had to hang his life and wait for a long time of torture.
In fact, Annan knew that even if Hugo entered the Black Tower of Zedi again, he would no longer be able to extend his lifespan.
Just like an opened can... even if you put the lid back intact, the food will start to spoil quickly.
The reason why he stuffed himself back in was just because he could no longer stand firmly. Only by saving the wisdom to control his body could he use the power of the holy fire to deal with some things in the end.
Otherwise, he might even be incontinent...
Annan did not want a truly good man to end up with such a miserable end after burning his whole life for this world.
There should be no inevitable death in this world. After all, even fate itself can be changed by Annan.
When Hugo took the initiative to sacrifice himself and handed over the position of the tower master and all the power to Salvatore in the grand ceremony... Annan could use the power of [Curse: Light of All Lights]
, resurrect Hugo!
Because this curse does not require "the integrity of the soul"... that is to say, the resurrection power of this curse has even higher priority than the player's resurrection ability.
The reason why players can be resurrected infinitely is because when they signed a contract with Annan, their souls were already stored in the Book of Heavenly Cars. And the bodies they use, whether they are on earth or in the mist world, are only Heavenly Carts.
The book stores only the projection of the soul.
It's a bit similar to the clone captain model.
In other words, the resurrection of the Book of Heavenly Cars is not a resurrection in the true sense, but the creation of a new body for a new projection - from the very beginning, the player is a "player" in the true sense.
The bodies they use are really their game characters.
It's just that they themselves don't know this...
But [Curse: Light of All Lights] gave Annan the ability to resurrect in a true sense.
...just like Hugo's expectations for Bernardino in the past.
He was born with the ability to understand the nature of human beings, and it happened that fate caused him to deviate from his original direction. He participated in the spirit resonance cauldron experiment and survived and gained the soul vision. Only in this case can he have "
The adaptability of "Element of Soul".
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
It was precisely because of his ill-fated fate that he was able to awaken the extremely rare element of the soul. At that time, Bernardino was probably the only extraordinary person in the world who could resurrect others at will.
More than 60% of the gods do not have any form of resurrection ability.
Those Grand Ritualists who are able to use resurrection rituals must also require that "the spirit body is 100% complete" and must be stored intact in the form of soul crystals as soon as they die before they can be resurrected.
Bernardino is the only resurrector who can directly resurrect regardless of the integrity of the soul.
Although Bernardino did not go down this path.
But after killing him, Annan inherited his power of resurrection... This can probably be regarded as a kind of atonement for Bernardino.
Although Annan has no obligation to atone for his sins, and his sins have been redeemed and cannot be redeemed...but at least for Hugo, this may be a comfort.
Hugo could have entered this nightmare.
Although it cannot be dismantled directly from the outside, and people with too high levels cannot enter... But if Hugo really wants to purify this nightmare, he can find a few students or mentors. It is nothing more than signing a contract.
The problem is actually not troublesome.
After all, before entering this nightmare, Hugo would not have known that the special nature of this nightmare was a "re-enactment". The experience could not be passed on to others.
The reason why he held this nightmare was that he had been hesitant.
In fact, it was because his attitude towards Bernardino was very complicated.
If Hugo really regarded Bernardino as his enemy, then of course there would be nothing to hesitate about.
So the situation is very simple.
Even if Bernardino tried to kill him, it really disappointed Hugo. They can no longer be friends...but they were still friends once. Hugo could not erase this fact, let alone calm his heart, and he could not
The most sensible way to treat Bernardino.
Just thinking about that time, Salvatore bid farewell to Hugo with tears in his eyes... Hugo, in a sassy yet firm manner, conveyed his final instructions and life warnings to his students, and said goodbye resolutely.
Then, at Salvatore's subconscious call, Hugo came back to life with a confused look on his face.
...Such a scene would definitely be interesting.
Annan chuckled, and the nightmare finally began to settle.
【The nightmare has been purified】
[Purify nightmares with a designated identity, and your evaluation will be improved]
[After knowing the whole truth, the evaluation has been greatly improved]
[Failed to repent of crime, evaluation dropped]

[Completed a powerful purification, the evaluation has been greatly improved]
[Comprehensive evaluation——B]
[Get 100 spiritual qualities]
[Based on the area where the nightmare belongs, you get the Holy Light Mark of Sir Silver]
Because Annan did not "apologize to Hugo" and "atone for himself" in the nightmare and fully satisfy Bernardino's wish, all the side tasks of the nightmare were not completed.
——But this is exactly what Annan wants.
"Although I completely understand you, we are still sworn enemies."
Annan whispered: "I don't have the position to apologize for you... let alone think that your sins can be redeemed so easily.
"You were indeed pitiful once. But now, you deserve it.
"You just die carrying this unexpiated sin, sinner——"
Annan's cold voice sounded in the void: "Sleep is the greatest gift to you."
