The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 193: One page missing from “Ode to Storms and Hearts”
But on the other hand...
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The existence of "Eternal Daughter" Ingrid is very important.
Not just because she is a "hidden mirror".
And it is precisely because of her existence that it confirms some of Annan’s previous conjectures...
You must know that Annan's "Book of Heavenly Chariots" is a book of truth with only six pages. There is a truth hidden in every page of the Book of Truth.
According to the normal sublimation ritual process, Annan must choose one or two of the six truths during sublimation, and then return the remaining truths from the Light Realm to the Pillar of the World for use in making other books of truth.
These one or two truths will eventually be solidified in the sublimated soul and become a priesthood.
So, according to the theory of "light emerges from the mirror". Annan must break the six mirrors in order to collect the complete book of truth and obtain all the "Truth of the Sky Chariot".
But in addition to these six mirrors, there is a seventh mirror.
——A mirror that should not exist in the first place.
Because the Light of the Heavenly Carriage was originally the Seventh Light, and the book of the Heavenly Carriage only has six pages. Therefore, Annan habitually believed that in order to hatch the light of the sky car, he only needed to gather the first six rays... that is, find the six mirrors.
But now it seems that his ceremony did not end immediately after "collecting six pages of truth".
And this reminded Annan of another thing...
The legendary "eldest daughter of the storm" Altacete Frostwhisper was the one who collected the "Hymn of Storms and Hearts", the founder of the career of storm daughter and the third in the Tower of Storms. The fourth generation tower owner.
At that time everyone thought she would become the Storm God.
But in the end her sublimation ceremony failed.
Combined with Annan's unexpected discovery of the seventh mirror, an astonishing fact was placed before his eyes - just collecting all the fragments of the truth might not be enough. There should be one last hidden ceremony similar to "consecration" to truly complete it.
This consecration ceremony should be completed unconsciously in the process of collecting the fragments of the whole truth. Like the law of touch of the idol wizard, this is a fateful connection.
Just like Annan has not found the sixth mirror so far, he has already found traces of the seventh mirror half a year after he obtained the Book of Truth...
That's why other gods don't understand this concept.
Otherwise, Paper Princess or the Faceless Poet will definitely remind Annan to slow down and pay attention to his surroundings; it is precisely for this reason that Altaster died suddenly for no reason despite being so strong.
Not because she is too weak, but because she is too strong.
She collected the Book of Truth too quickly.
After she decided to ascend to the gods, she directly used her ability to fly across the civilized world in three breaths like a dragon, and collected the Book of Truth in less than half a year.
And there is no need for her to use "Ode to Storm and Heart"——
Her supreme crown at that time was "the strongest extraordinary being in the world."
She is still the strongest without using the Book of Truth.
As a result, she directly ascended after collecting the Book of Truth, causing her to lack a certain key.
Just like the "Mirror of the Seventh Sun" in the Book of Heavenly Chariot - light comes from the mirror, how can the light of Heavenly Chariot not have its own mirror?
So, that is to say...
——In fact, the "Ode to Storm and Heart" from back then was not completely collected at all! Because after collecting the pages, there is still one last step——
In this way, Maria's future fate will definitely not be death!
As long as Annan can help her find the key to the last step, Maria can become the real God of Storms——
In this way, the Storm Tower can be freed from responsibilities that were not originally its own and become a wizard tower that can recruit disciples and impart knowledge normally.
As long as the God of Storms can be born, the sky over winter will no longer be haunted by endless storms - now as long as the Tower of Storms is removed from the sky over winter, the storms that have accumulated over the past few hundred years will finally explode. When it comes out, its power will even tear apart the great barrier and flatten half of the winter.
But it is a "storm" after all. If Maria can become the God of Storms, then it can in turn become one of Maria's powers.
Once the Tower of Storms is re-established on the earth, it will be able to normally control the celestial phenomena of the entire continent. Then there will be no more tragedies of magma being pushed back into the depths of the earth and pouring into underground cities, nor will out-of-control typhoons and tsunamis kill fishermen in the United Kingdom.
That way, everything will be fine instantly.
Maria is safe, the Principality of Winter is safe, the underground world is safe, and the fishermen and coastal cities in other countries are also safe.
Even...
If all the wizard towers can be restored to normal use, gathering the power of the twelve righteous gods... it may not be impossible to rebuild the great barrier.
A bright light gradually lit up in Annan's eyes.
——That is the light of finding the right path.
It is the light of hope that is pure and full of joy.
Come on!
Annan clenched his fists and muttered secretly in his heart.
Investigating Ingrid, finding evidence that the Northland Alliance is colluding with demons, and finding Captain "Celicia" in the stone... these matters must be handled by the players.
"Then, I have to work harder..."
Annan murmured.
He couldn't just watch.
The Northland Alliance is still waiting for the evidence they found.
At this time, he might as well go to the Fourth Exhausted Collection Hall again. Contact Vasika about further training in ritual science... If everything goes well, Annan can set up a landing point at their house.
The current third batch of players are still logging in one after another.
The system's speed of retrieving players is quite slow... After Annan released the login permissions at once, it has been almost two weeks and only half of the new players have logged in.
In addition to the character issues set by Annan - Annan also noticed that players who can be summoned by the Book of Heavenly Cars seem to have some kind of "shortcomings" and strong "desires" .
They have excellent talents and character, but their lives are not so smooth, and they still have something in their hearts.
Maybe... I can help them too.
It was only then~IndoMTL.com~ that such a thought came to Annan's mind so clearly.
Before, Annan actually didn't take the players too seriously... because his own talents were outstanding. And he has long been accustomed to acting alone. Only in trivial matters, he would ask players to help him.
So starting from the frozen water port, exploring the path in the royal capital, and the teleportation point in the underground world, plus the current ship-chasing adventure - Annan has always been the most troublesome, not the most difficult. Leave it to the players.
Essentially, players are Annan’s useful tools. Moreover, he is still a tool person who cannot handle any troublesome matters.
——Until now.
Because of the appearance of the seventh mirror, Annan was forced to start changing.
When he is unable to interfere with the actions of the players, he will be eager for the players to do something to help him - and after this feeling appears, the players will completely enter Annan's field of vision.
They are not "masters and servants" who give one-way, but truly become "friends" who can help and rely on each other.
Annan also began to pay attention to the existence of players - so he realized the rules of summoning players.
"Is there anyone who has longings and shortcomings in your heart..."
——Help is mutual.
Annan hopes that while the players help him.
He can also help these friends... a little bit.
