The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 218: I always keep my word

...the man in the mirror?

Annan felt that his mind was still a little hazy, as if he had slept for too long.

He shook his head slightly, walked over and asked Sir Silver in a low voice: "I remember... there is another **** named 'Mirror Dragon'. But I don't know his priesthood."

"You saw it from Gryaznuha's book, right?"

Sir Yin chuckled lightly and turned around to expose Annan's more euphemistic words.

"...Yes."

Annan nodded.

Hearing this, he was a little confused.

Why can the source of the information be directly identified just by mentioning this name?

"The dragon in the mirror is a less commonly used alias because it can be misleading... He does not have the authority of the mirror and is not exactly a dragon. It is like the old grandmother who is occasionally called 'cold-blooded'" Madam'; and some people will call me 'businessman in white'."

Sir Silver explained.

Only the names the gods give themselves during the sublimation ceremony can become their true codenames. Calling this name near them will be heard. But even if the name "Cold-Blooded Lady" is called in the Principality of Winter, the old grandmother will not hear it... because it is not the name the old grandmother gave herself at all, but a nickname.

That is, an alias.

This is a taboo method used when "you don't want to be discovered".

"As for Gryaznuha using this name as a nickname, the reason is also very simple, because the skeleton is being hunted by Yaweng. The 'Dragon in the Mirror' actually symbolizes the god, which is the **** of painting and illusion. 'Zhiji', Yaweng's subordinate god.

"But I guess you don't know...He is actually a painting, a painting that has life."

"A painting?"

Annan was a little surprised.

He had indeed heard of the name Zhi Ji... When he first knew Amos, he had looked up similar information. She is a kind and silent goddess.

She is the patron and idol of many poor painters.

If their paintings really cannot be sold, they can be sacrificed to Paper Princess through rituals. Paper Princess will give them some silver coins based on the effort they put into painting, rather than the value of the painting itself, so that they will not starve to death... But what makes Annan remember this name is that these silver coins are not made of paper. What Ji conjured up with her magical power was not something she asked Yinjue...but something she earned herself.

Yes, she is a legendary painter herself, traveling around the world and on the streets.

"Yes, it's Paper Princess."

Sir Silver nodded.

"But I think you may not know... Paper Princess was the earliest painting painted by Ya Weng, and it is almost his best work.

"The content of the painting is a silver-white giant dragon, which is lifelike. Under Yaweng's magical power, it can even move, roar, and fly in the painting... Its power can even affect the real world. ."

Speaking of this, Sir Silver glanced at Annan in a subtle way.

Then he continued: "Later, this painting was obtained by a real dragon.

"Unfortunately, he fell in love with the dragon in the painting. It can even be said to be an obsession...

“He completely gave up everything he had gained in reality, just to spend more time with it. For hundreds of years, he only chatted with it, got close to it, and watched it infatuatedly among the snow-capped mountains. Flying on top.

“But it is just a painting after all... it has no mind or soul, it just responds to others according to Ya Weng’s preset settings.

"——In the end, the dragon got the title page of the Book of Truth, which was called "False and Truth."

"But he was deeply stimulated by the power that book gave him, almost becoming angry. Because the 'truth' in "False and Real" told him very clearly that the dragon in the painting could not be Real. But by using his own truth, he can turn it into a 'more real illusion', so real that it is almost indistinguishable.

"The dragon rejected this seemingly good proposal.

"He would rather believe that the dragon is completely real, and would rather believe that the soul of a dragon is sealed in the painting. He is afraid of, even hates the truth he has obtained, and finally makes a decision - he decides to abandon his own truth .

"Or to be more accurate, he forcibly proved... that there was indeed a dragon's soul in that painting.

"He used his knowledge and financial resources to construct a complete sublimation ritual, igniting his soul... But what was at the center of the ritual was not himself - but the painting."

The dragon exchanged his soul, truth and everything for a chance to force falsehood into reality.

"So, Paper Princess became a god?"

Annan blinked.

...What is this?

Is the alternate world version of papersexuality?

However, considering that the painting can move, speak, and even chat with people like an artificial intelligence... it seems, it is not, it is completely incomprehensible... right?

Sir Silver obviously doesn't know the subtle emotions in Annan's heart.

Annan asked: "So, did he succeed?"

"He should be considered successful. Although the original **** of falsehood and truth lost his soul, the painting did possess intelligence and gained a true soul."

Sir Silver just smiled gently: "Just like what he had imagined, it was a cold, elegant and kind little female dragon. She is now the God of Painting and Illusion, Paper Princess..."

It's just that he can't see it himself.

Sir Silver did not say this. Annan also understood His meaning.

Hearing what Sir Silver said, Annan suddenly recalled the paint that Duke Skeleton gave to Amos.

There seem to be some similarities between the two...but also some differences.

In this way, "Dragon in the Mirror" is indeed an almost insulting nickname for Zhiji. It also accurately symbolizes His location.

"Why do you have to tell me so much?"

Annan was keenly aware of something.

Yinjue nodded slowly.

"Zhiji lives in the Kingdom of Noah now," He told Annan, "He wants to see you."

"See me?"

Annan was a little surprised.

Why?

I don’t know you either...

"...Because that painting is actually a portrait painted by Ya Weng for his grandmother."

Yin Jue raised his eyebrows, not feeling embarrassed, and just said with a smile: "But you also know the temper of the old grandmother. He doesn't want to see Zhi Ji... and he doesn't think Zhi Ji has anything to do with him. relationship.

"Don't ask any more questions, you will know when you get there. You can just satisfy Zhiji's homesickness, Annan. It will be good for you to get to know other gods more. And there is Zhiji By protecting you, you will be safer in the capital and move around more easily."

Safe? Is there anything safer than the shelter of Sir Silver, in the Kingdom of Noah?

And does Zhi Ji want to see me...or do you want me to see Zhi Ji?

Annan gradually figured out something from these words.

No, why do I need Paper Princess to protect me?

Is Yin Jue...not planning to come forward?

"Do you want me to see Paper Princess...or do you want me to go to the capital?"

Annan blinked and realized the implication of Sir Silver.

He asked directly and straightforwardly, without making any guesses: "If you want me to return to the royal capital, should it be as Don Juan or as Annan?"

This is Annan's age advantage - if he follows the rules, he is called sensible, if he does not follow the rules, he is called straightforward, and no one will care.

... Of course, it may also be due to appearance.

"Of course as 'Don Juan Geraint'. Come here when you have time and do me a favor... It's not urgent. I'll come back during the spring hunting period at the earliest. May at the latest Just before."

Sir Silver chuckled, squatted in front of Annan and whispered: "But you don't have to be too afraid~IndoMTL.com~In these few months, I will let little Henry arrest all the Fu Fu believers. In In the Kingdom of Noah, there will be no more followers of Rofu."

"...Can I ask, what is the general work? I can also prepare in advance to avoid clumsy and messy things in the past."

Annan asked politely.

"It's not a big deal."

Sir Yin gently hugged Annan's waist, raised the corner of his mouth and whispered:

"I just want you to attend Little Henry's funeral instead of Don Juan...

"By the way, in the name of the Geraint family, I would like to warn those who are not stable. The Kingdom of Noah is very chaotic... Fufu thought his plan was secret and sound, but he didn't even know why. Henry will turn a blind eye to him."

Sir Silver grinned and smiled kindly: "I promised them that I would not directly interfere in the internal affairs of the royal family and nobles...

"You know, I always keep my word."
