Chapter 398 Bernardino as a Child
Denton looked around.
...He was a little impressed by this place.
This very familiar hot and humid sea breeze made Denton immediately recognize... This must be the Field Islands of the United Kingdom.
But which island exactly?
The Fields Islands are made up of seven islands of varying sizes. The largest Yongquan Island is about 12,000 square kilometers, and the smallest Treasure Island is only 6,000 square kilometers. The population is basically only a few hundred thousand people, not as many as the number of residents in Noah's capital.
And every island in the Fields was once a kingdom or a principality... As the losers of the bloody battle, after dedicating all their property to the Denisoans, they were mercifully divided into small places by Javon. island.
So the laws vary from island to island.
Even each island has its own wizard tower - from this perspective, the United Kingdom may have the highest density of wizard towers.
Denton's illusory body outlined by icy blue lines was suddenly painted with a layer of flesh and blood and turned into a middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat with a slightly red and cracked face.
- The question is simple.
Just look for the iconic buildings on the island.
The icy blue halo in Denton's eyes lit up slightly and then went out, and a thick layer of cloudy clouds quickly accumulated on the island.
With the wet and cold sea breeze blowing by... Soon, the gentle drizzle fell.
His perception range immediately spread to the entire island.
Therefore, the huge dark blue lighthouse in the north was clearly seen. And at the top of the lighthouse, a huge hemispherical diamond with thousands of facets reflecting the iridescent aurora.
This is a building that is too iconic to be copied.
"azure blue diamond tower..."
Denton murmured: "It turns out that the 'Pure Spirit Medium' is a person from Treasure Diamond Island."
This surprised him a little.
People from the Thriller Island... aren't they all edict wizards or guardian knights?
How could he go down the path of the traditional reincarnation wizard?
Denton is actually from the United Kingdom.
But he was different from those country folks. He's a pure-blood Denisoan.
——Even though they are both nationals of the "United Kingdom of Denisoya and the Fields" in name, they themselves tend to call themselves "I am from the Kingdom of Denisoya" or "I am from the island of such and such" .
Because they are actually the countries that were forced to unite at the end of the cruel world war - "blood slavery". To the Denisoans, the Fields were nothing more than many villagers conquered by their ancestors who had lost their own country in bloodshed.
If it hadn't left them the Field Islands, so that some of them could rub Javon's Great Barrier, they would have been completely defeated in the blood battle - either rolled into the underground world, or exposed to the gray fog.
But for the Fields, they never lost their country...just no people, no money, no army.
So far, they still retain the inheritance of the throne of many kingdoms and principalities, and the royal blood has not been completely cut off. It can be said that each island is a small kingdom... but these kingdoms are too virtual to be recognized by anyone.
After all, the formulation and implementation of laws depend on what the Parliament and the Prime Minister say.
"Kings", speaking in Jaon's kingdom doesn't necessarily count.
In the United Kingdom, the royal family is only a slightly larger noble.
"Original from Treasure Diamond Island..."
Denton frowned slightly.
Azure Tower is not known by the School of Reaper. Could this be why he took a different approach?
- Go ask yourself.
He has already located the position of the master of the dream through the drizzle of the drizzle.
Denton stepped out, and his body instantly turned into a blurred phantom.
He reappeared beside a little boy with dark skin and a thin body.
The boy was about ** years old and had very rough skin. Wearing mud-stained slippers, khaki shorts, and a somewhat worn shirt, he was squatting on the beach, his head bowed, and he was sketching from the ground with branches.
How to see... they are ordinary fishermen's children.
...This is how Bernardino Treschau, the "purifying medium", looked like when he was a child?
The one who pushed himself into a desperate situation can be considered a top-level powerhouse in the golden rank?
Denton was speechless in surprise.
But there was no delay in his movements.
Although the passage of time in the dream is very slow, it cannot be delayed arbitrarily.
As the icy blue flames in Denton's eyes trembled slightly, his image was completely replaced from his feet up.
In the blink of an eye, Denton had turned into a stern-faced middle-aged man in a purple robe.
The purple robe is the characteristic of the clergy of Javon. It's like the clergy of the Silver Sirs would wear long white suits.
Denton read his mind roughly and learned that this is the person that little Bernardino respects most, a well-known sculptor and a priest of Javon.
"Bell."
Denton made a commanding voice behind Bernardino.
When Bernardino heard the words, he immediately raised his head, stood up, flicked the soil on his body, and replied vaguely:
"Yes, Father Ludwig."
"Have you done your homework today?"
"Yes... I'm done."
Little Bernardino didn't look up, he just lowered his head and muttered vaguely, "I came to play after I pinched the clay sculpture."
"You should try harder, Bernardino."
Denton skillfully applied the memory stolen from Bernardino's heart, and solemnly advised: "Have you finished reading "On the Human Body" and "The Beauty of Solidification" I gave you?
"Practice your skills well. You are very talented... Even if you can't become a well-known sculptor, even if you sell some dolls, you won't live like your father..."
According to the gentle character of the real "Father Ludwig", he certainly would not have mentioned this matter.
Bernardino's father was a fisherman.
When he was fishing at sea, he was buried at the bottom of the sea by a sudden wind and waves. The only remnant of him left in the world is the somewhat worn bucket hat on Bernardino's head.
But Denton's fundamental purpose is to hit Bernardino's self-confidence without a trace.
This is what Bernardino subconsciously thinks is the most important scene in his life - as long as Denton destroys the positive effect of this scene on him, and even causes him to have suicidal impulses and suicidal **, these memories will be destroyed. Covered and implanted in Bernardino's mind.
After Denton left his dream, it was easy to detonate the emotion, causing Bernardino to commit suicide on the spot.
It's not the first time he's used this technique to kill someone.
Even a superhuman of the golden rank, he used this tactic to kill one person and seriously injure one person.
The only disadvantage is that he exists as a spirit body in the other party's memory. If the opponent is a soul-reaver, an idol, a wizard of the edict school, or a cleric with purification ability, once he realizes that something is wrong, he may launch a fatal counterattack against himself.
But Bernardino was too late to fight back.
Denton's skill is too skilled - he did not destroy all of Bernardino's self-defense anchors, but cleverly avoided the past.
This is equivalent to sneaking in without triggering any alarms. As long as his modifications are not too bizarre, Bernardino is not even aware of them.
Unless Bernardino actively realizes that he is now in the depths of his consciousness... or he will not be on guard at all.
But facing the "Father Ludwig" played by Denton, Bernardino suddenly raised his head.
"But Father Ludwig...I don't want to be a sculptor."
he whispered.
"Bullshit!"
Father Ludwig frowned slightly: "Are you tired? You can rest when you are tired, but you can't do it without studying.
"We are not related, so I can't support you for the rest of my life. Bernardino, I also have children of my own. I take care of your room and board because you are my apprentice.
"If you don't study sculpture, I don't need to support you. Do you understand?"
"No, I'm-"
Little Bernardino's voice suddenly rose a little.
But he looked at the priest, and his words suddenly stopped.
Looking at the rustic face without any features at all, Denton showed a bit of disgust and annoyance at the right time: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to study natural philosophy, my lord."
Bernardino said seriously: "I want to read."
"Who will feed you?"
Denton asked back: "I won't support you."
His ruthless and rational words did not surprise Bernardino.
He just hung his head and said nothing. After a long time, he replied in a low voice, "Yes, I will study hard..."
At this moment, Denton's heart moved.
The moment he just said this line, Bernardino was a little shaken and opened up more defenses. Denton also dug out more and deeper memories from Bernardino’s heart:
This familiar conversation happened four years later in the memory of little Bernardino. At that time, after thinking about it, Father Ludwig said that he was old and mature, and he could recommend studying at Denisoya Theological Seminary in Bernardino.
If all goes well, he should become a priest of Javon, a philosopher, a natural scientist.
...But the letter of introduction that Father Ludwig wrote to Bernardino, along with the priest's token and tuition fees, were lost along the way by him.
Bernardino was disheartened at the time, but did not dare to go home. He can only wander in Denisoya and become a scavenger in the art capital, relying on half-baked sculpture craftsmanship to make a living.
And it was at that time that he met a Soul Reaper from the Tower of Black Glory. The other party took a fancy to his sculptural ability that seemed to possess a soul, and wanted to invite him to become a school worker.
Maybe in this place, modify his memory——
