The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 203: Great spell: Siren 3

Putting the tableware on the table, Annan followed Grand Duke Ivan into the secret room of the Grand Duke's mansion.

This is not to avoid outsiders, but to avoid the Hands of Winter.

Even the Hands of Winter who own the ring are only allowed to know at most that "the Grand Duke's three-color scepter is itself a great-level curse" - this will help them help the Grand Duke protect this treasure.

But the deeper secrets...including the true name and effect of this curse are not allowed to be known to them.

This is necessary to maintain rule and tradition.

"And another reason... is actually to protect them."

Grand Duke Ivan's pupils looked at Annan calmly: "Last year, I was actually not sure whether you could inherit the position of Grand Duke.

"It's not because of anything else. It's because you reversed the power of the bloodline curse of the 'Heart of Winter' - this is indeed a must for you to use the Book of the Sky. But it may cause you If you can't pick up this scepter... at least half of its abilities cannot be used by you."

The "Heart of Winter" is indeed a cruel curse.

But it is also a kind of protection.

Not for anything else - but to protect yourself from being deceived by the curse of this great curse.

Annan suddenly realized.

In an instant, the many subtle oddities that lingered in his cognition were connected in his mind like lightning.

So that's it...

No wonder the old grandmother would maintain this curse rooted in her bloodline, and watch her descendants wither away and suffer all the time in the world; no wonder they would lose this curse immediately after their death. .

No wonder the power brought by this curse is not that powerful, as if it is just to prevent people from dying; no wonder Grand Duke Ivan still has the highest level of [Winter Blood] talent, but still makes an extremely firm choice Don’t become extraordinary.

I'm afraid it's different from Annan and the other three...

Ivan should have known the secret of this three-color scepter at a very young age.

Then Ivan never said anything, maybe because...

"...The price of carrying this curse is terrible?"

"That's right."

Ivan said slowly.

He removed his hand from the scepter.

“It’s useless to talk too much.”

He simply replied: "Feel it for yourself."

...You just let me try?

Then if something goes wrong with me, with your current body, can you kick me away from this scepter...

Annan cursed.

But he was too smart to say anything.

Annan was just tentative - cautiously, imitating Ivan's movements and gently pressing his hand on the scepter.

Because I was worried that it might be charged with electricity or have similar effects, which might cause Annan's muscles to twitch. Annan did not reach into the inside of the ring to prevent it from being "sucked", but gently held the outside of the ring.

Completely different from what I imagined.

The properties of this cursed object did not even appear before his eyes.

And Annan didn't feel any pain - on the contrary, he felt an extremely strong sense of comfort.

As if being touched by an invisible warm hand, an almost peaceful feeling of peace, joy and laziness comes over my heart. Annan squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep immediately, as if everything had reached final perfection, as if nothing in the world needed to be cared about anymore...

"——Wake up, Annan."

Suddenly, Annan felt a gentle push coming from in front of him.

Annan did not resist at all.

It wasn't until Ivan pushed him away from the scepter that Annan suddenly woke up as his hand left the scepter.

That sleepy feeling made him feel alert.

This even reminded him of the extremely reassuring and slow-responsive aroma that came from Fufu when he first met him.

"...What is that?"

Annan asked warily: "Is this the effect it has...or a curse?"

"Both."

Ivan replied briefly: "This is one of the forms of this scepter.

"Turn it upside down and try it."

"...inverted?"

"That's right. Place the cross and ring at the end, and change the three branches to the upper end - that is, hold it upside down... Try it and see if it can be used like that."

Ivan said seriously: "If I can, I will tell you its name. If it still doesn't work, I can only pass it to Dmitri.

"Even if he is infertile... there is no other way. Only in this way can the existence of this 'great thing' be hidden. But Dmitri is too simple and can easily be taken advantage of. That way If so, I will find a way for you to get rid of him...and let you give birth to a child quickly and adopt his name to become the heir."

"...No need to say so much, let me try it first."

Annan felt a little scared when he heard about the urge to get married.

He interrupted Ivan's statement, took a deep breath and looked at the scepter solemnly.

Then he suddenly picked it up and used his last wisdom to turn the scepter upside down.

"...Huh?"

At that moment, Annan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

A breath of extreme cold came out of the scepter and flowed throughout the body in the blink of an eye.

It is different from the sleepy and peaceful warmth before. This cold current instantly washed away all the sleepiness Annan had.

But that did not make Annan feel the pain of the cold, but made him shiver, as if all the blood vessels in his body were connected, and his mind became extremely clear in an instant.

"...It seems that you are more suitable for the posture of [tyrant]."

Ivan glanced at Annan's eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tyrant?"

"It is one of its two forms."

Ivan explained: "The real name of this great thing is [Three Sirens]. It has two different forms, namely the [Faint King] that makes people feel infinite joy, and the [Hairy King] that makes people feel infinite rage. [Tyrant]..."

In fact, there is no need to say the following words.

The moment Annan heard the name [Three Sirens], the system panel finally appeared in front of his eyes:

[Three Sirens: Tyrant]

[Type: Supreme Certificate (Orange)]

[Description: Proof of the authority of the former Elf King, made with the lives of innocents, the souls of sinners, and the will of saints. Those who try to obtain the power of this curse will only become a coward or a tyrant. 】

[Description: The reversed Siren will turn you into a tyrant. 】

[Effect: The holder will be cursed with "suspicious heart", "infinite rage", and "mad blood"]

[Suspiciousness: You will always doubt and be jealous of others until you summon "Zhenyin"; but if you don't do this, then you will get three times the learning, training, and growth efficiency (your experience gain and attribute growth speed increased to three times)]

[Infinite Fury: You will always be trapped in irresolvable rage until you summon "Qing Tiao"; but if you don't do this, all damage you cause to others will be unconditionally tripled (when holding the scepter) , your total damage increases by 200%)]

[Crazy Blood: You will fall into madness from time to time, and random negative emotions will be extreme until you summon the "White Woman"; but if you don't do this, then you will be able to permanently control the will of three extraordinary beings ( It can only be used three times, and can only be used on extraordinary people; each time it is used, it can permanently rewrite the mind of an extraordinary person of gold level and below, but there is a one-third probability of turning it into a fallen person of the same level)]

"...Is this a great curse?"

Annan's mentality is a bit complicated.

Is it powerful?

Indeed, very powerful. Undeniably powerful.

But it seems that it is not so...irreplaceable?

Compared with the power it carries, the curse it possesses is even more unbearable. If Ivan picks up the "Tyrant" form of the Three Sirens~IndoMTL.com~, I'm afraid he will immediately transform into a terrifying tyrant.

That is, Annan possesses the "reversed winter abundance" in order to nullify its negative effects.

... By analogy, its "upright" posture should have a completely different effect. But Annan couldn't pick it up at all - the moment he touched the upright position, he almost immediately turned into a peaceful and happy fool.

"Actually, you can think of it as a [seal]."

Ivan said slowly: "You should also feel that its power and curse are all based on 'not releasing the siren'. But in fact, it also has another use, which is to release the scepter.' One of the three colors, summons a siren. But no one knows what will happen if the siren is summoned..."

"Have the Sirens been summoned?"

Annan couldn't help but ask.

He did know what a siren was - when he saw these three names, he guessed that this was indeed the "siren" he knew.

It’s just that Annan is not sure whether the sirens in this world are consistent with what he knows.

——After all, in this world, even Master Michelangelo has become a god.

"Actually, the Sirens were summoned once."

"When is it?"

"That was the year the Yasselan Imperial City sank."

Ivan frowned and said in a serious voice:

"...just in case, you'd better not be curious."
