Chapter 57 Inheritance of Fire
Annan looked at Hugo complicatedly—with his naked eyes, he looked at this young man who was as bright as the sun from the material world.
Even if he didn't need to peek into his soul, Annan could still know what kind of burning soul was hidden in it.
"...Now, do you know the curse handed down from generation to generation by Zedi Black Tower?"
Annan couldn't help but asked the young Hugo.
Hugo was a little surprised: "The future me, did I even tell you this?"
He couldn't help showing a bright smile: "Then it seems that you are also a good person.
"There's nothing hard to say, isn't it [a fire that was not kindled for oneself]. There's nothing difficult about it, it's better to say...that's why I came here."
Hugo's eyes were as bright as stars.
He raised his head and looked at "Bernardino", his pupils were so clear that they seemed to be shining: "I believe in passing the torch from generation to generation. The mission of our Zedi Black Tower is to make life convenient for the most people...
"One day, people may be able to escape plague and disease, and even death. Their lives will eventually become more and more convenient... People will no longer die of disease, poverty, and accidents, and they will no longer need to spend time On a meaningless rush. There will be no more people who freeze to death in this world, and no one who starves to death..."
Hugo said very confidently: "Even if I can't do this, as long as our Zedi Black Tower is passed down from generation to generation, we will be able to do it one day.
"I believe that most of the suffering in this world is caused by poverty and backwardness. People with money can live better than those without money, isn't it because they can get more things?
"So, if we can greatly reduce all costs and greatly improve efficiency...then everyone can live a rich and happy life like the richest people. Those who can be eliminated with money Suffering, those misfortunes born of poverty, will all disappear without a trace.
"And we happen to have the ability - Zedi Heita has always taught students how to improve the efficiency of transformation products and reduce the cost of transformation products; how to use our technology and knowledge to eliminate suffering and solve difficulties for the most people .
"Then as long as we exist here, the world will gradually become better and better.
"Even if I as an 'individual' cannot do it temporarily, my successors will be able to do it one day—because [the fire that was not kindled for myself] is always burning, because the [fire stealer] is still combustion."
When Hugo was a teenager, he said something that shocked Annan.
From the very beginning, he never considered "self".
He lives for others, for the world...for those ordinary people who are powerless to fight against fate.
Annan suddenly understood.
Why... Bernardino would feel jealous of Hugo.
Because no matter who Bernardino is, he can't understand Hugo's motivation to move forward "for the sake of others" from the heart.
A estrangement arises because of ignorance. Because of estrangement, conflicts arose.
It's like Julius' jealousy of Bernardino in the old days.
Julius has no hope of advancing to gold,
Therefore, for him... Bernardino's innate talent is something so far away that he cannot touch it in this lifetime.

He does have a better and better way to make everyone happy.
However, that fiery jealousy covered his eyes. He would rather give up the possibility of going up completely, but also knock down the star-like Bernardino to the ground.
Back then, after Bernardino restored his memory in the spirit body resonance cauldron experiment... the tide of hatred in his heart flooded his heart.
He finally killed these enemies he hated.
But the tide of hatred did not recede because of this, on the contrary, it became more violent. Bel Andino realized that hatred had overwhelmed his sanity and that he was losing control.
——And at this time, Bernardino met Hugo.
A seventeen-year-old silver-rank wizard, the tower son of Zedi Black Tower. A genius who will succeed to become the tower master within a few years.
He was moved by Hugo's personality as bright as the sun... I'm afraid he was also impressed by the beauty of Hugo's radiant soul.
Bernardino would rather erase the memory that allowed him to regain his talent with his own hands, but also calm the tide of hatred in his heart. He doesn't want himself to hurt other people.
But this was not discovered by Bernardino's conscience, but an impulsive move after being shocked by Hugo and in a situation similar to the time of a sage.
This is because Bernardino desperately hopes that he can walk calmly under Hugo's "sunlight".
This is also reasonable.
Hugo's brilliance in his youth was better than anyone Annan had ever seen.
So Bernardino put on a prosthetic eye again, restored the vision of human beings, and sealed the vision of the spirit body; he chose to forget the nightmare that once awakened him, and returned to the sluggish "weak" posture again.
Everything I got from the spirit body resonance cauldron experiment... was completely discarded.
Anyway, his enemy had already been killed. Then, once awakened, this hatred that cannot be appeased... like a vicious dog, is no longer needed.
Bernardino trusted Hugo extremely. Believe that Hugo can help you return to the sun and return to the bright world.
He then conspired with Hugo to kill his "hating self".
Just like the black Annan in the past...choose to kill himself.
Bernardino was right.
Hugo is indeed trustworthy.
But he also overlooked one point...
That is, the person who cannot be trusted - is himself.
When Bernardino, who forgot everything and turned back into a useless weakling, met Hugo again... he and Julius also became inferior.
Bernardino, who had reached the ceiling of his talent, saw the dazzling and brilliant Hugo moment. In his heart, finally, the fire of jealousy enough to burn out reason was ignited.
— Just like Julius back then.
At this time, Bernardino actually has a bright future. Just like Julius actually has the chance to change his destiny.
As long as Bernardino obeys Hugo's guidance, he, who has made a clean break with his past crimes, can completely change his face, and live a life that is much darker than Hugo's but equally bright under the sun again.
After all, he has the element of soul.
The fully awakened soul element can make him the best doctor in the world—even if the person is dead or even cold, as long as the time has not passed, he can forcibly revive the person again.
What a noble future this is.
This is also the future that Hugo painstakingly planned for him.
By saving countless people who didn't deserve to die, he made up for the crime of murder that he didn't know about.
...But Bernardino's fiery jealousy made him unable to bear the possibility that he was under the sun and his fate was all arranged by Hugo.
This is probably related to the fact that his fate has been changed by others since he was a child.
Even though Hugo was trying to save him this time, he still chose to refuse.
——Or, only this time, he has the courage to resist and control his own destiny.
Just because... Hugo is a good guy.
A good guy who wouldn't hurt him.
