The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 110: 2 directions

After Annan self-sealed his spellcasting ability, the atmosphere did relax.

After the atmosphere calmed down slightly, everyone subconsciously agreed with Annan's previous idea: why not sit down and have a good talk.

After all, Annan took the initiative and suffered a loss in front of everyone.

Although no one will benefit, people will always feel that they should feel guilty at this time.

The level of this guilt is not deep. If Annan really made any request to them that harmed their interests, they would probably reject it immediately.

But Annan just made a proposal that is good for everyone at this time...at least there is no harm to everyone.

At this time, they will subconsciously obey Annan's harmless command.

This is an opportunity.

If Annan can seize the initiative in the next conversation, then Annan's words will still have weight in the next step.

Although "Gerald" has no fighting ability, low status, poor background, and even less attention-grabbing appearance. But people will still subconsciously follow his instructions.

This is because of the lazy nature of human beings.

An instinct that cannot be realized unless specifically pointed out.

Because it takes a lot of energy to discern "whether a new leader is trustworthy" in a group and to stand up against authority, and to risk being isolated.

Especially when this leader actually does not have so much power that it can shake their fundamental interests. That would be even less worthwhile.

This model is somewhat similar to class committee elections during student days.

Students can often find that in the election of most class committees, adjustments are allowed in principle. But often people don't choose the best answer, but continue with the original choice.

So before encountering huge setbacks and temptations that shake the authority of the temporary captain, people tend to continue to follow the command of the temporary captain... even if everyone is convinced that this person is not the best choice.

What Annan has to do is to be this "useless temporary captain" and let them form a habit of thinking.

If they are used to following Annan's instructions, then when they hear an instruction that is harmless to them, they will subconsciously think about "is it good to do it" instead of questioning "can it be done".

Then Annan mixed some private work into the decision-making, and they would not be able to detect it.

Led by Uncle Gilandaio, everyone came to a teahouse.

Although the disciples have been dismissed, the tea leaves in the teahouse will obviously not be taken away... They have not fallen to this level.

With the help of the transformation wizard Benjamin, they quickly made black tea. True to Annan's words, they sat down and decided to talk calmly.

"Ugh..."

Claire took a sip of warm black tea and breathed a sigh of relief.

She lay lazily on the table, as if she had melted into a ball.

Maria’s emotionless ice-blue pupils were still scanning the crowd quickly.

"Speaking of which," she suddenly faced Benjamin and asked, "I remember you are the famous mentor of Zedi Black Tower..."

"You want to question why I was selected, right?"

Benjamin easily saw through Maria's meaning and directly started talking to her.

He looked at Gerald with a somewhat complicated expression, and was silent for a while, as if he was trying to organize his words.

On the other hand, the wizard of the Idol School, Eugene Melvin, spoke for the first time after entering the White Tower:

“Because all four of his students died.

"They were all killed by this... dark wizard David Gerald."

His voice was distant and ethereal, as if it had some kind of divinity.

But his words once again made people look at Annan.

There are many wizards who know this. But there are also some who don’t know, or only know roughly.

Annan also touched his nose and thought about what expression he should use at this time...

——So he just lowered his head with a wry smile and said nothing more.

That’s it.

He thought to himself.

Is this the reason why Gerald must be killed that Salvatore was talking about before?

According to the time, Salvatore should have entered the Zedi Black Tower by this time, but he has not yet become Benjamin's disciple. And it was precisely because Benjamin's disciple was killed by Gerald that the dark wizard Gerald was removed from the Black Tower and wanted...

But looking at Benjamin like this, it seems that there are other stories here.

Looking at the strange looks of the two people, the other wizards also had a look of interest on their faces.

——Want to hear stories.

——But it would be too unreserved to say it directly.

"Speaking of which," Claire raised her head from the table, looking at the thin old man with sunken cheeks, deep eye sockets, and a lack of energy with some confusion, "If Her Highness Maria is a wizard of the Imperial Order School...then This one has been silent..."

"His name is Merlin Manning."

Maria glanced at him and introduced softly: "He was... the 'Hand of Winter' of our country."

...Hand of Winter!

Hearing this title, everyone's eyes froze.

The legendary incapacitated wizard who completely froze his inner feelings, the emotionless monitor... the secret intelligence department of the Principality of Winter - or in other words, the elite thugs of the spy agency.

Hearing Maria introducing herself, the old man raised his head, stood up slowly, stood up awkwardly, and bowed deeply to everyone.

He pointed to his mouth and shook his hand.

Maria added: "Of course...he retired five years ago because of a leg injury. He has no tongue, so he can't speak."

Without a tongue, it means it is not easy to leak secrets.

After all, the old Winter's Hand knows too many secrets.

Even if the new generation of Winter's Hand can prevent documents and envelopes from being sent back and forth, the oral transmission of information still cannot be prevented.

Information can be encrypted, cannot be written down, and can only be communicated verbally a limited number of times. But there are soul-stealing wizards in this world... When they can directly control the mind at close range, cutting off the tongue is a simple, convenient and low-cost way to keep it secret.

Of course, they don't have to cut off their tongues, but then they can only live within the designated range.

Consciously cutting off your tongue also reduces the work pressure of your descendants. Let there be fewer people watching over you, and your retirement life can be lighter.

...But even the retired Hand of Winter, no one dares to underestimate him.

This is a wizard who can hunt wizards.

Many spies are soul-stealers.

It is not easy to defeat the soul-stealing wizard in a one-on-one battle. Although there is also the premise that they are extremely resistant to mind control... The Hand of Winter, which completely freezes the soul, can almost be said to be the exclusive kill of soul-stealing wizards.

But being able to work until retirement without any obvious disability is enough to illustrate the terrifying fighting ability of this mute old man named Merlin.

"Now that everyone knows each other."

Eugene Melvin, a white-haired boy with a calm but divine voice, said: "I just had an idea that I wanted to share with you.

"I think everyone may not have noticed it before. There is a detail in the master's suicide note...that is, 'The murderer cannot kill.'

"——Have you ever thought that the place of death of Master Michelangelo might not be inside the White Tower? If this is the case, then the murderer should be able to kill because he did not trigger the curse.

"But if Master Michelangelo died in the tower, then there are only two possibilities... The first is that the murderer has taken away the master's curse, so he should have advanced to gold; The second is..."

When he said this, he paused slightly.

Everyone already understood what he meant.

In the silence, Annan was the first to speak.

He looked directly at this white-haired, white-eyed young man with a strange and divine look on his body: "You mean...

"Are we all now in Michelangelo's nightmare?"

As soon as Annan said this.

Everyone’s eyes changed immediately.

"...This is entirely possible."

Miss Claire said slowly.

The red-haired boy Jin Ye nodded silently.

Maria's brows were still frowning, and she crossed her arms and fell into thinking.

Ghirlandaio scratched his hair in confusion.

Benjamin looked sad and sighed deeply.

The mute old man Merlin suddenly raised his head, his eyes first aimed at Annan, and then at Eugene Melvin.

Melvin's words gave everyone two directions to think.

As we all know——

The dead extraordinary person will turn into a nightmare if no one collects his body.

So what if Master Michelangelo has become a nightmare.

How can they be sure that they are not in a nightmare now?

If Michelangelo had not become a nightmare in the tower...

This shows that there is something wrong with the method of killing someone to prove innocence. ~IndoMTL.com~ Because Master Michelangelo died outside the tower.

So the murderer was not cursed.

And if they are indeed in a nightmare...

Then killing and dying in nightmares... wouldn't be a problem, right?

Annan frowned slightly.

These two directions of thinking lead to the same result:

They have no sure way to win.

Must think about who might be the murderer...

—and kill him.
