The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 22: School of Incapacity
Me?
Annan sneered.
Just kidding.
You may not believe it, but I don’t even know who I am.
But Annan knew how to answer this question: "I am Don Juan Geraint, that's all."
"That's it?"
Salvatore looked at him suspiciously.
"I am nothing but myself - since my father cannot save my life, then I naturally have no obligation to continue according to his arrangements."
Annan glanced at the direction the militiamen were leaving, and replied calmly and calmly: "So, why don't you invite me in for some breakfast?"
This is the information he got when he entered the dungeon for the first time.
What he said to Salvatore was naturally true.
But who said...the truth cannot mislead people?
Hearing Annan's words, Salvatore looked at him again in surprise.
Most of his vague hostility towards Annan has finally dissipated.
"It seems that you have indeed grown up."
He sighed in a low voice, turned around and walked towards the manor.
Annan also followed closely behind.
The manor of the young mayor is not very big, that is, it is the size of a small or medium-sized villa. The building area on the first floor is probably only more than 100 square meters.
But the decoration inside is quite tasteful. After entering the back room, Annan immediately noticed the glass bottles containing colorful liquids placed in the half-open wooden cabinets.
What surprised Annan the most was that there was even a white mist of air-conditioning coming out of the wooden cabinet.
It's almost like wine refrigerated in a wine cabinet.
"Are you interested in this?"
Noticing Annan's gaze, Salvatore raised the corner of his mouth and hummed proudly: "This is the pre-transformation agent I prepared for the teacher. You can't use it."
"Preconversion agent?"
"Yes, you are not an official wizard of Zedi Black Tower. The teacher probably didn't teach you the knowledge of the Transformation School, right? I don't know if the teacher has ever mentioned to you why...the reason is the pre-transformation agent."
Salvatore explained: "The fundamental technology of our transformation sect is to change the form of the curse, so as to transcend the limit of the 'quantity' that it can hold, and use the curse flowing out of itself as an introduction to Control more curses in nature.
"But the disadvantage is that the transformation school always needs a transformation process in order to continue to use small things to borrow big and form leverage. Once the cycle is interrupted, it has to start all over again."
Understood, it means breaking the cycle.
Annan nodded, expressing understanding.
The Transformation School seems to be the kind of stationary profession that will lose tons of output once the skill cycle is interrupted...
Annan doesn't like this very much.
"Personally, without assistance, I can complete a complete cycle starting from any starting point in three hours, and the teacher's shortest is thirty-five minutes. If you need to use the spell supported by the last curse, Then the conversion time will be too long, and the final mana consumption will be astonishing... The meaning of the pre-conversion agent is to allow us to start the cycle from any node."
The young mayor sighed: "Teacher, he didn't bring a pre-conversion agent with him, so the practical spells behind the curse position cannot be used, which would be very inconvenient. For example, 'Wide Area Detection of Hostility', 'Group Void' Restraint', 'wide-area disintegration energy' and the like..."
...In fact, if your teacher could really use "wide-area detection of hostility", maybe he wouldn't be dead.
Annan was silent for a while, but still didn't say anything.
Salvatore asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what school of magic did the teacher teach you? Maybe I have a book here that can teach you a few."
Hearing this, Annan stretched out his right hand, and the palm of his hand turned blue-black in an instant, and then returned to its normal color.
"Cold Contact... Incapacity School. You are quite skilled in using it."
Salvatore sighed: "It seems that the teacher can't teach you much. He is not very good at the spells of the incapacitation school. He can only teach you to the bronze level at most."
"...Senior Salvatore, teacher, what kind of spells does he know?"
Annan's heart moved, and he asked sincerely and humbly: "He has never answered me directly about this question."
This is still an ambiguous truth.
However, Salvatore also didn't realize anything was wrong.
Seeing that Annan had such a good attitude, he felt much better: "It's normal, you asked me the right question. I may not know as much about the teacher's other students.
"The teacher is best at the transformation school's spells. Because he took the oath of forbidden magic when he advanced to the Silver level, the teacher's four series of spells, including incapacitation, edict, destruction, and prophet, cannot be used. He can only use the remaining four spells of 'Soul Seizing', 'Transformation', 'Shaping' and 'Idol'. Among them, only Transformation and Shaping are close to the gold level.
"So he definitely can't teach you anything... If you have any questions, I can only let you read the book."
After finishing speaking, Salvatore sighed: "It's not because the teacher is indifferent to you, it's because he really can't teach you. After all, your talent in any school cannot be distorted by personal will. To you, As an apprentice who has not yet entered the level, it is better to learn whatever he can."
Hearing this, Annan was stunned.
Salvatore’s words revealed some deeper facts.
He must have heard some rumors about "Don Juan", so he had such a cold attitude towards him in the beginning. He also knew that Don Juan studied magic with Benjamin, but he did not know about Don Juan's school.
But now it seems...as Benjamin's student, he doesn't even know if Don Juan has entered the ranks?
Could it be that the fact that Don Juan is a wizard is actually kept secret from the outside world?
So why does Don Juan put on his ring before attending the party?
If Annan understood it correctly, these extraordinary beings would not be able to exert their extraordinary power without their own curse carriers.
On the other hand, since Don Juan Geraint took the initiative to put on the ring. It means that he plans to use extraordinary power...
If this hadn't happened, who would he have used it on?
"Can you tell I haven't advanced yet?"
While his mind was spinning, Annan showed no reaction at all on his face. Instead, he smiled gently: "Didn't you see the silver ring on my hand?"
"I was really shocked at first sight. Such a strong curse... It's really thanks to your body that you can bear it."
Salvatore glanced at Annan and said rudely: "But if you want to scare off the assassin, I suggest you buy a new charm and wear it - this is obviously a women's ring. , do you think I’m blind? Or did you steal your mother’s ring and wear it?”
"That's right. This is indeed a relic."
The smile on Annan's face faded slightly.
Hearing this, Salvatore was also startled.
"...Sorry."
"It's okay, you're welcome."
Annan replied sincerely.
It’s not my mother anyway.
The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while. In order to break the deadlock, Salvatore was silent for a while, and then suddenly raised his voice and said: "How long have you been learning spells? How about I take charge of your advancement?"
"...Are you okay?"
Although he didn't know what the content of the ceremony was, in order to maintain his persona of a young male **** who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, Annan still looked cold, and by the way, he calmly ignored the first half of the question that could easily reveal his secrets.
"As long as your level is high enough ~IndoMTL.com~ I'll be fine! It's not like I haven't advanced my juniors! It'll be fine for sure!"
Salvatore became so angry that he went straight into the back room: "Don't leave yet, wait a moment——"
...Hey, when you said that, I got a little panicked.
Annan's scalp suddenly felt numb.
And he also realized that it was okay to fool those militiamen before. But once he came into contact with someone who was his equal, he immediately found that he didn't dare to say anything.
There is still a problem with too little information... I still need to find a book as soon as possible.
At least add some common sense.
He originally planned to borrow Don Juan's identity in order to gain access to more information - with the identity of an ordinary person, it would definitely be difficult to investigate the family and political issues at the highest levels of neighboring countries, or even the enemy's country. And if he takes on the identity of Don Juan, at least reading will be much easier.
It doesn't matter if the secret is revealed, the worst case scenario is that he will run away.
Anyway, the identity of Don Juan Geraint is just a human skin mask temporarily applied by Annan. He could always be someone else if the conditions were right.
Even becoming Annan himself... is just Annan's role-playing.
This is a role-playing scene in a role-playing game——
"Actually, you don't have to panic, Don Juan."
Fortunately, Salvatore didn't bring out any mysterious device.
He just came over with a pot of brewed black tea and two tea bowls and poured a cup for Annan: "Have you met Priest Lewis?
"Do you know why such a powerful priest would come to a remote place like Frozen Water Harbor where birds don't shit?"
"Why?"
Annan's heart moved, he held the teacup and asked in a low voice.
