Chapter 174 - 75. Belief
After yesterday, Mr. Fisher didn’t continue to research the "Soul Completion Manual," which he found somewhat peculiar. From certain perspectives, his recent situation indeed seemed somewhat dangerous. He began to doubt Caleb Wuz, the author of the "Soul Completion Manual," and the real purpose behind leaving the manual.
If he harbored ill will towards the reader, then what was the purpose? To drain the reader’s Magic Power? To bewitch the reader with those bizarre and peculiar pieces of knowledge?
Mr. Fisher reflected on his recent associations with that bizarre knowledge and suddenly felt that much of it seemed extremely dangerous from a human point of view, but to a seeker of knowledge, expanding on those ideas seems like an utterly ordinary affair.
If one were to follow the path of that bizarre knowledge, Mr. Fisher was unclear what kind of end he would reach.
Mr. Fisher suddenly thought of the eccentric Philone and recalled his strange ideas of using living souls as fuel and energy...
If one were to set aside traditional notions, Philone’s knowledge had brought significant changes to him: wealth, power... even Mr. Fisher’s Magic Power quantity and quality had seen tremendous changes because of it, everything seemed to be developing in a beneficial direction for himself.
But ultimately, Mr. Fisher didn’t continue reading. His attitude towards this knowledge still required scrutiny, so he redirected his focus to the academic conference with Schwali that was to take place on Monday.
In the morning, having dressed in the suit gifted by Renie, Mr. Fisher stood in front of the mirror and examined his reflection. The suit, in terms of style and fashion, was exceedingly fitting for him, as if it had been tailor-made, and it was exceptionally comfortable to wear.
Renie was always a headache to deal with because of her mischief, but once you were apart from her for a while, these omnipresent little things constructed the image of a mischievously smiling Witch even more vividly, making you miss her quite a bit.
Like fine wine, when one wakes from drunkenness, one still cannot help but yearn for that deep flavor, even if it can intoxicate you.
