Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Chapter 63 Hobbies can save a person's soul

However, putting aside the restricted content, this "wise glasses" itself seems to have some connection and interaction with "Midnight Rose"?

An Ruowang carefully put the two documents away and looked at Saint Anthony: "The complete dream required for 'Nourish the Midnight Rose' and the requirement for the user of 'Wise Glasses' to have deep sleep in a dreamless state every day, could they complement each other?"

Since it was Saint Anthony who recommended the combination of these two sealed items, he must have been very clear about the synergy between them.

Saint Anthony praised, "Yes, child, you are very perceptive."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes: "The 'Wise Glasses' were actually a sealed artifact I captured and named when I was young, and which I used for a long time afterward. But later, after I was promoted, I didn't need them much anymore."

An Ruowang was somewhat surprised.

Although the records of the sealed artifacts contain information about their origins, in order to reduce the amount of text and because some of the special effects of the sealed artifacts are generated through their names, the names of the parties involved are rarely recorded in the records.

If you want to find out the details of the event, you will need to use the index left in the records to look in other church documents and records.

Saint Anthony smiled and continued, "Those extraordinary individuals on the Sleepless Path have a strong resistance to this sealing artifact. When I used it, the side effects were much less than for ordinary people. But even so, I was extremely cautious."

An Ruowang nodded: "I understand."

Seeing Aleister nod solemnly in confirmation, Saint Anthony nodded and then explained: "The alienation and transformation of the user's body and mind by the 'Wise Glasses' never happens out of thin air."

"Child, can you guess how they influence you?"

"A dream?"

"That's right."

Saint Anthony looked at Aleister approvingly: "Its erosion begins and deepens gradually through the medium of the user's consciousness and dreams."

As long as you let "Midnight Rose" consume your dreams, and then use "Wisdom Glasses" sparingly, you can largely avoid its side effects.

An Ruowang seemed lost in thought, then casually asked, "What about 'Midnight Rose'?"

Upon hearing this, Saint Anthony's expression immediately fell silent.

Faced with An Ruowang's curious gaze, he sighed softly: "It—no, it's her."

Saint Anthony's gaze fell on the document about "Midnight Rose": "Elise was a friend of mine and my former captain. Growing flowers was her hobby."

An Ruowang immediately understood: "—I'm very sorry."

Saint Anthony waved his hand, his expression returning to normal: "That's all in the past."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and suppressed his emotions.

After setting down his teacup, he looked at An Ruowang expectantly: "However, child, as an elder, I have a suggestion, or rather, this is the experience of someone who has been through it all."

The problem with people is that they like to be teachers.

Even St. Anthony, a veteran of many years, couldn't help but feel some concern for the younger generation when he saw the young and spirited Aleister.

An Ruowang was quite used to this atmosphere.

During the Lunar New Year, some elders and relatives he wasn't very close to would like to pull him aside and engage in long, rambling conversations about everything from life ideals to marriage, offering no real help and more like showing off.

An Ruowang had long since learned to smile, nod in agreement, and then let it go in one ear and out the other.

But Saint Anthony is different.

At least they actually send you sealed items, and they're even relics from veterans and things they've personally used and highly recommend.

This kind of experience is quite valuable to hear about.

An Ruowang sat up straight, her face displaying just the right amount of solemnity: "Please speak."

"Find a hobby that you can fully immerse yourself in." St. Anthony's tone was casual, as if he were chatting with someone. "Gardening, music, painting, writing, fishing, or anything else—anything will do."

"It's not about competing with others or gaining a vain reputation, but rather the kind of thing that—when you're doing it alone—allows you to forget about time, forget your worries, and forget that you're extraordinary."

He exclaimed, "A hobby can save a person's soul. That's what she taught me, and now I'm teaching you the same thing."

An Ruowang paused for a moment, as if she had thought it over, before nodding: "I've got it."

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that he really doesn't have anything that can be called a hobby.

Leaving aside games, novels, short videos, and music, hobbies always seem to be a luxury for students in China.

Even if people really want to learn piano or guitar, most of them probably only attend training classes because their parents forced them to when they were young.

As for junior and senior high school, the academic workload is heavy, and there are even tutoring classes on weekends. There is not enough time to rest and relax, so what's the point of talking about hobbies? That's pure nonsense.

After that, Saint Anthony said nothing more, but immediately wrote two new documents in front of Aleister, namely the call files for "Midnight Rose" and "Wise Glasses".

The "Wise Glasses" are kept behind the Charis Gate in the church's crypt, but the "Midnight Rose" is a Level 1 sealed item.

As Saint Anthony wrote, he explained, "For Level 1 sealed artifacts, our church, as the headquarters of the Backlund diocese, can only keep one or two. The rest must be handed over to the Holy See, so we must apply to the Holy See."

An Ruowang did know this.

The two items from St. Samuel's Church, along with the sealed artifacts, appear to be "1-29" and "1-80." The former can erase specific memories of the target, while the latter can make those around them part of a dream between reality and illusion.

Together, they seal "0-17", which is Antigonus's sister "Mother of the Sky", a Sequence 2 angel "Hidden Servant", and also the vessel for the goddess of night's divine descent.

Saint Anthony continued, "According to church procedures, the 'Midnight Rose' will be delivered here in four or five days. Remember to come to the church with 'Wise Glasses' to collect it."

"I understand."

An Ruowang thought for a moment, then instead of asking if she could receive the "Wise Glasses" first, she asked with some curiosity, "What if, I mean, what if, I lose these two sealed items?"

He was ultimately going to consume them as extraordinary characteristics.

At most, out of respect for the Church and Saint Anthony, he would preserve the spiritual imprint of that predecessor in "Midnight Rose" and see if he could resurrect him when he had the ability in the future.
