The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 164: The 4th Exhaustion Hall

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Annan set off as promised.

Grand Duke Ivan originally wanted to give Annan a Hand of Winter, but Annan firmly refused.

Annan believes that the existence of the Hand of Winter will make Vasika Rasputin worried and unable to express his true thoughts.

It just so happens that Annan himself looks harmless and cute, but also has faint draconic traits. Whether Wasika will look down upon Annan extremely, or have great respect for Annan, it is possible, and this will expose his own position.

But if you add the Hand of Winter, both of these possibilities will disappear.

This actually became a "conversation under the surveillance of Grand Duke Ivan." On the contrary, it will make the other party hide something... which will be even less conducive to negotiations.

Annan is not afraid of his nonsense.

His left eye can detect betrayal.

An appropriate lie will reveal more information.

Why did he lie? Why here? What does he care about? What is he trying to hide? What did he want me to think? How should I deal with him?

And...which floor is he on? And what level should I be on?

As long as you can understand these things, the other party's lying behavior will reveal more information.

Although the only heir to the principality attended the meeting alone, it sounded too dangerous to face a transcendent and grand ritualist of at least Silver level at the opponent's home court...

However, considering Annan's ability and the Rasputin family's loyalty to the Winter family, Ivan finally agreed to Annan's plan.

Annan did not take the wolf girl Doreen with her. Instead, she was temporarily placed in the Grand Duke's Mansion... Because her appearance was too similar to that of the betrayer Bella, and they were both werewolves. The other Hands of Winter were very dissatisfied with her existence.

But based on the Hand of Winter's loyalty to Winter and the Hand of Winter's "silence" principle...even if they were hostile to Doreen, at least they would not rush into Doreen's room while Annan was away. She was hacked to death.

Then let Doreen huddle in her room and shut herself up.

It would be a good thing to have her frightened by the Hands of Winter and impress Doreen with their murderous intent.

Whether Annan wants to use these hands of winter to intimidate her later, or use "scammers and missionaries" to comfort her, it can achieve quite good results.

"The 'Fourth Exhausted Collection Hall'... is here."

Annan murmured.

This is exactly the address on the card.

He had already investigated it last night.

This is an art collection invested by the Rasputin family. It is divided into inner and outer halls. The inner hall is not open to tourists and can only be entered with a one-time invitation letter or a special identity card.

——The black card with a metal sandwich is a special identity card.

The outer hall contains various collected works of art; while the inner hall contains some rare magical materials and objects.

There are even handicrafts made by Yaweng himself, paintings painted by Zhiji, and fragments of Yingqi's armor.

Some items are for exhibition only, while others are available for rental. Some items are auctioned regularly.

Today, the inner hall will only receive Annan alone.

The tall guard at the entrance to the inner building, wearing thick black leather armor that almost covered his face, took Annan's card and inserted it into the jade hammer he held in his left hand, which looked like a long-handled ice cream. Then Annan stretched out his finger and wrote his name on the surface of the jade hammer that was shaped like a large ice cream slab. The jade stone glowed green.

...This signature ID card detection device is quite advanced. There's even a touch screen.

Annan thought.

The reason for not using fingerprints is probably that in this world it is much easier to change your fingerprints or palm prints than to change your real name.

After the green light came on, the tall doorman said in a muffled voice: "Dear guest, you can go in."

Annan vaguely saw that the other party's wrist was set with a silver bracelet that looked like handcuffs.

... Do all the gatekeepers use fully armed Silver-level extraordinary beings?

This is a bit big.

"Okay."

Annan nodded and tightened his cloak.

After all, this is Frost Whisper Province, not Noah or some remote town.

Put a destruction wizard on the street here, and among the people killed, at least eight nobles or ministers must be killed.

Those who know Annan here can say more or less.

Although Annan left from the Grand Duke's Palace. It's not difficult to get information about his travels... but at least Annan doesn't want to make the process too easy.

Otherwise, even if Vasika Rasputin really has no idea about Annan.

There is no guarantee that some local nobles will not suddenly have evil intentions.

So Annan not only covered his mouth with a scarf, but also put on a thick white cloak. This is a look unique to the "Winter Walkers" of the Principality of Winter... This outfit is probably equivalent to the camouflage clothes of Noah's hunters with leaves tied on them.

Winter Walker is a gray profession that collects supplies in the wild.

The reason why it is said to be a gray profession is because in the wilderness outside the small barrier, no matter what happens, the evidence will be buried in the heavy snow... And in the winter when supplies are scarce, the best way to collect supplies is The way is naturally through other people.

Sinners who were exiled outside the small barrier, travelers trying to cross the blizzard to reach the next city, and other winter walkers... anyone they meet can be killed. Likewise, anyone you encounter can be killed.

This white body is just to camouflage in the snow.

At least don't be attacked by others... Once you are injured in the winter wilderness, you will basically die. Whether you are hit by an arrow or a bullet, it is easy for the wound to be difficult to heal itself due to the lack of sufficient heat, leading to worsening of the infection.

Even if the wound is bandaged or fixed, it will almost certainly lead to a significant loss of body temperature.

So every winter traveler has a few lives in his hands - those of his enemies, his prey, and his companions. Although they may not necessarily be extraordinary people, they must be ruthless characters.

So Winter Walker rarely shows his face.

This is to prevent others from finding out your true identity and then taking revenge on your family...or from being targeted with poison in your food or drinking water by someone who has a grudge against you.

This cannot be formed in hunters in warm areas.

Disguising yourself as a Winter Walker is the best way to keep others at a distance.

So although Annan turned around and walked towards the inner building, other tourists were a little curious, but no one dared to follow him. ~IndoMTL.com~ Annan walked into the empty interior hall.

There are many glass cabinets here.

Although the glass craftsmanship of this era is more than a little better than that of the same period on Earth... the technology of bulletproof glass has still not been invented.

Instead of bulletproof glass technology, there are runes and ritual sites carved into the glass.

After all, everything inside is priceless treasure...

Of course... for ordinary people, everything is a dangerous item that they must avoid.

The ice-blue candle that has been burning with black flame forms a gray mist in the shape of a cat's head like a dark cloud, a man's right hand crawling around in the cabinet by himself, a human brain covered with dense eyes, She has no hair or eyelashes, but opens her eyes and looks at Annan's stone head with interest, and the bird's heart, which is still beating and made of rubies...

"How are you feeling?"

A voice that sounded elegant sounded.

Annan turned around.

What came out of the darkness silently... was a "human being".

If it can be called a human being.

Her pupils are dark golden vertical pupils that are close to orange, giving people a dangerous feeling; she has four ears - two human ones and two cat ones.

The dark brown ponytail on the back of the head is tied high and divided into two bundles. One bundle hangs loosely on the left side of the chest, and the other bundle is tied into a ponytail and hangs in front of the right side of the body.

Her left eye is dark green with strange eye shadow, while her right eye is black. The nails on her hands are also black and red respectively.

Her legs are still human legs. The right foot is wearing a boot, but the left foot is not. Her footsteps seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, silent.

She was at least a head taller than Annan, looking down at the cloaked white walker.

"Annan...Your Majesty?"

Catwoman said softly.
