"Compared to the replica of the King of Absurdity, the version of the King of Late Bell is more... direct, and far more dangerous."
"It records all knowledge about ’Endings’ - the mysteries of death, destruction, and finality."
The old professor quickly put the book away, and the oppressive atmosphere in the room gradually dissipated:
"I rarely open it nowadays. Each time I read, I draw closer to the truth of ’Endings’, but it also consumes the essence of my life."
"The replica is not a simple imprint, but can only be granted by the Witch King?" Ron keenly captured the key information.
"That’s correct."
Uther sat back down in the chair:
"The original ’Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide’ has been revised and perfected by the strongest ruling Witch Kings throughout the ages."
"From the King of Revelation in the Second Era - later known as ’Apocalypse’;
to the King of Late Bell in the Third Era - later known as ’End of Death’, each generation of Witch King has left their own crystallization of wisdom within."
"The original is now stored in the deepest core of the ’Court of Truth’."
The old professor’s voice became pious and reverent:
"It is itself an existence beyond measure, a living cosmos of knowledge.
It is said that no language can accurately describe the true form of the original.
It is both a book and a life; both a recorder and the recorded content itself."
"Great Wizards are qualified to enter the Court of Truth and admire the external manifestation of the original."
Uther continued to explain this hierarchy-ridden knowledge system:
"And at the Wizard King Level, one is qualified to ’imprint’ their own replica from the original."
"But this process is not a simple reproduction; rather, it is resonating with the original using one’s own will, downloading a portion of knowledge and rules in a way one can comprehend."
"Thus, each replica carries the strong personal will and philosophical imprint of the imprinted individual.
They are not merely carriers of knowledge but extensions of the imprinting individual’s thoughts."
Ron nodded thoughtfully, which explained why his replica had such a ’character’."
"The replica of the King of Absurdity is particularly special."
Uther’s expression became even more serious:
"He imprinted not the pure content of knowledge, but the process of ’acquiring knowledge’ itself."
"He believes that knowledge untested is cheap and dangerous, and true wisdom can only be acquired through speculation and adversity."
"So, his replica is more like an eternal puzzle, a stern master, or an enemy constantly joking with you."
The old professor’s tone carried a sense of helplessness:
"It tests not your memory or reading ability, but your way of thinking, values, and choices when faced with challenges."
"Then how should I use it correctly?"
Ron asked eagerly.
"Do not attempt to use brute force to ’read’ it, that would be like directly commanding a Monarch, you would only receive sarcasm or even punishment."
Uther patiently guided:
"You need to ’communicate’ with it. Use your Spiritual Power, not to demand, but to ’inquire.’
Demonstrate your qualifications, present your questions, and then... be prepared to pay the price."
"Every acquisition of truly valuable knowledge requires a corresponding price.
This could be the consumption of Spiritual Power, the re-experience of some painful event, or accepting a seemingly absurd challenge."
"But remember, the King of Absurdity never does anything meaningless.
Every test he sets is to ensure that the person acquiring the knowledge truly possesses the qualification and wisdom to use it."
Having listened to this detailed explanation, Ron nodded, somewhat eager to return to his room and make an attempt."
