The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 179: The upcoming resurrection of Don Juan and Clarence
...This statement is not quite right. https://
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
In this case, Henry Worden, the "opponent", appeared at Saltpeter Ranch to deal with the Blood Hand Brothers.
The mother of the Bloody Hand Brothers is obviously a demon related to "blood". They may have inherited some of the devil's power in addition to their mother's forbidden knowledge. It was no surprise that Henry Warden came to them.
However, saints usually do not act with such purpose.
Once their "selfishness" is too strong, they will easily deviate from their original path. Since their original status when they were accepted by the Holy Skeleton has changed... they will be easily abandoned by the Holy Skeleton.
And Henry Warden's behavior was obviously very purposeful.
It can even be said that his actions were a bit anxious.
It actually didn’t take long for Annan to leave Noah...and during this time, Henry not only ran to Noah to kill the "blood demon", but also quickly ran to the underground world, trying to clean up the **** hand. brother.
It's like he's in a hurry.
Combined with the purpose of this matter - he is preventing the "blood and flesh of the sacrifice" from falling into the hands of the fallen.
Does this mean that he himself has deviated from the path of sacrifice to a considerable extent?
You must know that Annan had been paid attention to by the "flesh and blood of sacrifice" when he cleared the sporulation mill before.
At that time, Annan thought that the "blood and flesh of the sacrifice" was temporarily ownerless. The next saint is being selected.
But since it still has the saint it belongs to...
That means it already has the idea of "hopping jobs".
If someone with a more "sacrificial spirit" appears than the holder, it may betray the holder at any time. At this time, it is quite dangerous to continue to use the power of the holy bones.
Once the "flesh and blood" part deviates from the holder, it basically means absolute and immediate fatal injury——
But on the other hand, Henry Worden did not hesitate to take the risk that the Holy Skeleton might abandon him, but also used the power of the Holy Skeleton to handle his "future affairs"... This in itself is a spirit of sacrifice. It shows that it is impossible for him to be abandoned by the Holy Skeleton.
——This is the "paradox of sacrifice."
Then, I’m afraid there is only one answer.
"...Is he about to die?"
Annan asked: "That 'person who is against me'."
"Why do you ask so suddenly?"
Salvatore was obviously a little confused: "I think... probably not? If he had the idea of dealing with the funeral, then what he should do is to leave the big barrier quickly and enter the depths of the gray fog. Where."
When saints sense that they are about to die, they will enter the depths of the gray mist. On the one hand, it is to prevent the holy bones from falling into malicious hands and being forcibly controlled; on the other hand, it is to prevent the nightmare caused by his death from harming others.
Although saints have various types and personalities, they are still saints who walk for the sake of the world.
"No...it's nothing."
Seeing that Salvatore was not aware of Henry Worden's intentions, Annan did not intend to involve him in such a thing.
"By the way," Annan changed the subject, "This is not what you wanted to tell me in the first place, right? What did you originally want to say?"
"Oh oh yes!"
Salvatore's attention was easily distracted by Annan: "With the help of Hugo Tower Master, Senior Clarence has been successfully resurrected!"
"What form of resurrection?"
"Keep the soul and memory, and turn it into the type of fetus that is reborn."
Salvatore said this and added: "The situation is roughly similar to that of Don Juan. However, Don Juan was born from a branch family with Geraint blood... and Clarence, as a silver-level The wizard's soul power is very strong. The tower master has found a good 'mother' for him."
"Which family is it from?"
"Well..."
After Annan asked this question, Salvatore's expression became a little awkward.
He coughed lightly and whispered: "It's... Gerald's house. You also know who it is."
"...David Gerald?"
"Yes, she is Gerald's illegitimate daughter. She was raised in an orphanage invested by the owner of Hugo Tower... She also had some thoughts about the tower owner, so after learning about this Afterwards, she took the initiative to propose this plan - to have a child with Master Hugo Tower to resurrect Senior Clarence.
"She undoubtedly has the bloodline of a soul-stealing wizard, so she will not be harmed by the soul power of Clarence; and the other half of the bloodline is the master of Hugo Tower, so the talent of this body must be quite good ."
Salvatore's expression was a little strange: "But I still think this is a little strange..."
"Maybe this is fate."
Annan concluded: "But I'd better go back and take a look when I have time."
"...You really want to come back."
Salvatore sighed deeply: "Because one of Hugo's curses is 'not to have offspring'. He made an oath of annihilation when he was a teenager, in exchange for a healthy body that will stay young forever. .
"When Senior Clarence's new body is born, this curse will be triggered. Originally, a counter-curse would not kill him, but when Sir Hugo fought to the death with Bernardino, his soul It is almost exhausted...According to my calculations, even if he is not killed by the counter-curse on the spot, Mr. Hugo may die of soul exhaustion within half a year."
In other words... it can also be understood that this is Hugo using his own life like a candle in the wind in exchange for the resurrection of his beloved student.
"Is there still half a year left..."
Annan murmured.
Salvatore corrected: "It was half a year after the child was born."
"When will the child be born? I will go back... I also want to name the child."
"I think it's okay," Salvatore laughed after hearing this. "Having a noble person like you as the godfather can give them names. I think it might make them luckier in the future. Maybe.
"As for the specific time - the last day Don Juan was born should be early May. The senior will be a little later, because the child was just conceived. It will be about eight months, that is, around the end of this year."
"After Kafni ascended the throne...then I should be fine."
Annan nodded: "I will go back to watch the ceremony. I have also prepared the gift for Don Juan."
According to winter etiquette, the godfather should give the newborn a valuable gift that has a strong connection with the godfather.
The gift Annan prepared is [Annan's sword].
This was originally the noble sword of Don Juan Geraint. It accompanied Annan for a long period of time and helped Annan overcome the dilemma of lacking everything when he just recovered his memory and entered the second week.
Annan used it to use frost sword skills many times, soaking the sword with frost elements. It was later supplemented by Salvatore, who made it into a cursed sword with the curse of "extreme cold cutting".
[Extreme Cold Cutting: When it causes "cutting" damage to living enemies, it can cause additional frost damage that is difficult to dispel; when it causes "cutting" damage to ghost and spirit enemies, it can This damage is completely converted into frost damage]
Later, after Annan used it to use the "Brilliant Sword", it officially changed from dark blue to purple.
At the same time, there is a new feature:
[Sword of Victory: This sword was once used by Annan Coldong, and the glory of victory was immersed in the sword. Its nobility and respect are better than bright gold. 】
Although there is no actual blessing, it seems to be regarded as a "noble thing" because of this. It can be used in similar ceremonies in place of scepters, rings, crowns, etc.
After Annan succeeded to the throne, this thing was of little use to him.
This was originally a temporary spell created for spiritual bodies.
What he prefers to use is his "inexhaustible" boning knife.
This sword was originally Don Juan's sword.
Given Don Juan's reborn body... this can also be regarded as a reincarnation of fate.
"By the way, senior," Annan suddenly thought of what he wanted to ask in the first place, "Is your magic mirror still there? Wasn't it burned in the black tower?"
"That's not true, but it originally belonged to Teacher Benjamin. Later, the teacher took it away and seemed to use it for something very important... because the teacher's expression at that time was so serious that it was a bit scary. I didn’t ask any more questions.”
Salvatore explained. ~IndoMTL.com~ He asked: "Do you want to use it? I think you should tell the teacher and he will lend it to you."
"Well, let's talk about it then."
Annan nodded.
In fact, compared to the purpose of the magic mirror itself... what Benjamin wants to use it for is what worries Annan more.
"First investigate this group of assassins whose information is two versions behind, and then ask Benjamin..."
As for the Bloodhand Brothers and Captain Stone...
Annan hesitated for a moment, but decided to ignore it for the time being.
He really couldn't spare any time.
——He believes in the abilities of players.
This kind of thing should be possible.
