Yes.

Evelin concocted this nightmare out of desperation.

It is exactly the prototype of the idea of ​​the sublimation ceremony that the Eye of Time will later perform in the White Tower of Cold Wind!

Michelangelo, who mastered magic from many schools of thought, such as prophets, sculptures, and idols, had a keen and super-intuitive judgment. Based on the time element he mastered, this is not so much a "judgment" as a "prophecy"

”.

He believes that Benjamin does have extraordinary talents, strong and unending desires, and a sincere heart for others. He has the qualifications to advance to gold before the age of fifty.

Michelangelo also believed that the ritual based on this idea had a considerable degree of executability.

In an era when no new fragments of truth have been born in the past hundred years, he must find another way to advance.

The Bone Master is a successful example, while Fufu is a failed counterexample.

Michelangelo believed that although he didn't know how he compared with Skeleton King's talent, he was definitely stronger than Fufu - since Fufu could succeed one-seventh of the time, then it's not too much for him to succeed half the time, right?

So Michelangelo and Benjamin, two outstanding wizards, signed a contract.

Michelangelo will begin to concentrate on optimizing this sublimation ritual, and Benjamin will keep it secret. He will cooperate with him in performing this ritual in the future to help Michelangelo complete his sublimation.

And if Michelangelo could become a god, he would choose him to be the pope. He would grant Benjamin enough time power to save Evelyn from that endless cycle of nightmares.

...This looked like "I am Qin Shihuang, I am not dead yet, give me money" or something like that. It sounded like a blank check, but Benjamin agreed without hesitation.

Together they perfected the specific content of this ceremony.

In order to help Michelangelo accomplish this goal, Benjamin must suppress his own power; Michelangelo cannot give way to the Lord of the Tower, or even allow himself to possess the Son of the Tower.

Therefore, Benjamin must continue to accumulate his strength, but cannot advance to the gold level. Because by then, Michelangelo will recruit many silver level wizards to serve as witnesses and sacrifices for this ceremony.

In order for Benjamin, the "actor", to be able to "match this ceremony" in a reasonable manner, Benjamin must maintain his silver soul.

In other words... high-scoring actors "press down their rank."

By the way, the "Rafaelo Santi" who had hired someone to paint the portrait of the crane under the volcano in the Principality of Winter was also the student of the Eye of Time during that period.

His parents were followers of Stone Father and Paper Girl respectively. His father was a well-known architect in the United Kingdom, and his mother was a painter of Noah. He originally came to the Twin Towers to learn sculpture from Michelangelo.

He actually has the qualifications to become the son of the tower, or in other words... the son of the tower originally selected by the White Tower of Cold Wind was him.

The name "Rafaelo Santi" is also written as "Raphael Santi".

In the history of another earth, he did learn techniques from Michelangelo for a period of time. And probably because of this subtle fate... Michelangelo had some hesitation towards him.

According to the safest move, Michelangelo should kill him directly. This would ensure that the Son of the Tower would not be born and would not affect his plans.

But his plan was to kill four innocent wizards.

He really couldn't bear to kill other young talents...not to mention, Rafaello Santi was his own student.

People always have to separate the close and the close - Michelangelo did not shy away from this.

His own good students are indeed more valuable than the lives of strangers.

Therefore, he risked his plan to be exposed and revealed part of his plan to Rafaello Santi, allowing him to graduate on his own and leave the Howling White Tower. For this reason, he gave Rafaello a considerable amount of money.

compensate.

Rafaello Santi also does not covet the inheritance of the tower master.

When he was in his thirties, he took one-third of Michelangelo's net worth savings and began to concentrate on art.

The network resources he accumulated allowed him to get to know Count Felix. This is why they began to try to excavate ancient ruins under the volcano, and Michelangelo, who mastered the prophetic magic, did not stop them.

Michelangelo succeeded in the end.

His sublimation ceremony was far more successful than that of Fu Fu, and even more successful than that of Lord Skeleton. He successfully became the "Man in the Mirror", and Benjamin indeed became his Pope.

And when Benjamin found Evelin again, he finally understood her painstaking efforts.

——The reason Evelin set up this paradox was not because she could only do this. It was to ensure that her soul would not deteriorate over a long period of time...

What she can be sure of and believe is that Benjamin does love the person he once was. Since his appearance has been destroyed, all he can love is his own heart... In this way, she must protect herself even more.

The integrity, purity and cleanliness of the soul.

But if she died too many times in nightmares, or was trapped for too long with a clear mind...how could she get Benjamin's love if she was so twisted and frustrated?

Therefore, the reason why Evelin created this nightmare that kept torturing herself before she died.

Just so that the Evelin that Benjamin finally rescued must be the innocent Evelin in Benjamin's impression when she "just died".

Deep down in her heart, she always had low self-esteem.

To take a step back...if she held Benjamin and cried loudly because of the uncontrollable pain and fear in her heart after being rescued, it would also make Benjamin feel uncomfortable.

She doesn't want that kind of future.

If Benjamin could save himself, then at that moment, the two of them would definitely be laughing.

——With this last thought, Evelin waited for the day when she could smile again.

Apparently, she succeeded.

Taking different influences as keys, Benjamin searched every nightmare he could encounter. And finally found Evelyn.

He prayed directly to the power of the man in the mirror, and with the help of magic and elements, he cut off this paradoxical nightmare of infinite reincarnation - Evelin, who was trembling on the guillotine and whose time had stayed more than forty years ago.

Pulled it up.

Just as Evelin expected.

The eyes of both of them were shining with the same joy.

"it's all over."

Benjamin, who was already in his fifties and very old, looked at Evelin whose face was covered with burn marks and had no hair at all. He suppressed his excitement and said calmly:

"Although it's a little late...I still found you, Evelin."

"I know. I always believed that you would definitely come."

Evelin touched Benjamin's old, wrinkled face and whispered affectionately: "It's never too late."
