The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 101: Mr. An, an ordinary citizen

This answer was obviously completely beyond "Blackbird's" expectations.

"Blackbird", who was still a little sleepy at first, instantly became energetic after hearing Annan's answer.

——In other words, he was frightened by Annan's answer.

What does this probably mean? The police suddenly interrogated the top leader of another country on the street without any preparation...

The thing held by Blackbird seemed to be able to detect lies and recordings - that was why he immediately believed Annan's words. Of course, the entry record is there, and when it has already collected Annan’s voiceprint, there is no point in lying and showing off.

In other words, Annan is really the Duke of Winter who came to travel.

The sweat behind Blackbird fell off in a flash.

He didn't even sweat after being in the scorching sun for so long. But now he was soaked in cold sweat... even his fingers started to tremble.

This looks familiar to Annan. Maria had used it before in Nightmare of the White Tower, and the doorman at the Viscount Rossburg's house also used something similar.

Because this thing is a specialty of the Tower of Storms and can be used for continuous release to detect lies and detect true names. Just like the black fire of the Black Tower of the Marshland, the base plate of the Jade Tower, the gargoyles of the Twin White Towers, and the mini-games of the Thousand Faces Fantasy Tower... they are the most basic external income-generating projects of the Wizard Tower.

Annan also heard Maria say before that this thing is not troublesome to make.

Perhaps the most troublesome step is how to cut them into such standard sizes. In order to be able to make a large number of these small stone slabs that are one palm long, two and a half fingers wide, and half a finger thick, we have to use the Storm Tower...

The Storm Tower has a ritual similar to that of a machine tool, which is responsible for cutting and polishing the purchased stones into such a size.

Yes, it's not jade - it's an ordinary stone imbued with a curse. Just like the gray fog itself is a haze-like substance, after the curse is poured into it, the original properties of the stone will also change.

The curse was not provided by the wizard's apprentice, but by the never-ending storm above the Storm Tower. In other words, the process of making this kind of jade token is itself one of the ways to consume that power.

Other wizard towers are all worried about energy. Only the Storm Tower is worried about "how to use up these energy quickly"...

As long as you use a certain spell completely once during the process of pouring the curse... this spell will be pressed into it by the "machine tool" of the Tower of Storms.

The whole process is fully automatic, and every time a wizard apprentice releases a spell, he can engrave a set of twenty boards at the same time; if he is a formal wizard, because the spell effects are stronger and there are more types of spells, he can also Create more types of "spell tablets" at the same time.

No matter the cost or processing, it is not complicated.

But the "continuous infinite curse" that brings trouble to the Storm Tower is simply impossible for other wizard towers to have. The spells of the Imperial School also require a certain amount of talent to master.

And the designer of this machine tool ceremony...

It is the "Victor Frost Whisper" of the Annan family.

So this creates a strange situation where "everyone knows that this thing is cheap in theory, but you still have to buy it from me at a premium of several times."

Since the Tower of Storms does not accept ordinary apprentices, the one in the hands of the man named Blackbird, if it is not a used item from more than ten years ago, it can only be made by Maria herself.

In other words, "Blackbird" was using things made by Annan's sister and sold to Danny Sawyer in the country ruled by Annan, to interview and record Annan's words, and to determine whether Annan was lying.

"Blackbird"'s expression suddenly became very subtle.

He was silent for a while and bowed deeply to Annan humbly: "Sorry, I don't know..."

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Annan just asked with some curiosity: "You said, I have been in contact with wanted criminals? I am also very curious... I should not have contacted many people today, and Denisoya's people are even less. Which person? Is he the wanted criminal you are looking for?"

Seeing that Annan did not resist or mind, the stiff and pale expression on "Blackbird"'s face finally eased.

If Annan is angry because of his rude inquiry - even if Annan just expresses his dissatisfaction, even if he has not committed any wrongdoing and just follows the most standard procedures, the "Special Bureau of Spells and Ritual Crimes" Those leaders will definitely punish him severely as a sign of sincerity to apologize to Annan.

"Your Majesty, it's great that you don't care..."

"Blackbird" bowed to Annan again in an unusually humble manner.

Then he pinned the jade plaque back to his waist, took out a folded portrait from his arms, unfolded it, bent over and handed it to Annan with respectful hands.

And "Charlie", who was sitting majestically at the feet of the blackbird, immediately put on a smile on her face, came over and lay down softly at Annan's feet.

"Just ask me as if I were an ordinary citizen named 'Annan Lingdong'."

Annan watched "Blackbird" hand the painting to him. He did not straighten up, but remained motionless in the bowing posture. He smiled helplessly: "You are working after all. I That's understandable. Although I also know that some of our nobles in Winter don't have very good tempers... But I don't actually have that bad habit.

"If you met a noble from Denisoya, would you ask so respectfully?"

——What you said, how dare I ask when I meet a noble.

"Blackbird" muttered in his mind, but said nothing.

The main reason is that I dare not say it.

Because the recorder on my waist is still on.

The most terrible thing about that thing is that in order to prevent inducing questions or lying about answers, and at the same time to convince people of their identity and purpose, the lie detection effect of this jade card is two-way...

If he dares to lie, the jade plaque will turn red when this recording is played.

That way he will definitely lose the ball.

"...Okay, I get it."

Annan looked at Blackbird's reaction and smiled helplessly.

He probably has a deeper understanding of the political situation on Denisoya's side.

And Isaac, who was behind Annan, also frowned, looking at the "blackbird" who didn't even dare to raise his head and look directly into Annan's pupils, and remained silent without saying a word.

Annan looked intently at the portrait in his hand and recognized the man's identity at a glance.

"This person..."

He looked stunned. ~IndoMTL.com~ The painting shows a lean old man with dark skin, and his face is marked by the sea breeze. He was wearing a captain's hat, slightly stooped, holding a dagger in his left hand and a gun in his right hand.

But the most eye-catching thing is the silver bracelet on his right wrist.

The old man turned around, with a sinister and vicious look in his eyes. This portrait captures that look so vividly.

Annan was just about to turn around and ask Isaac, "Do you think this is so and so?", but he suddenly remembered that "Blackbird" only came over to ask him, and Isaac didn't speak after he started recording.

If at this time, you talk to outsiders and leave a voice.

Then after "Blackbird" returns, he may be scolded and asked: "Why don't you ask another person on the same trip instead of asking Grand Duke Annan?"

In that case, it will cause trouble for the "blackbird".

——This is really not necessary.
