The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 23: Steady as I am

"Do you know about Nightmare Fragments?"

Salvatore also held a cup of black tea and sat opposite Annan.

His eyes, which were always sleepy and had thick eyebags caused by staying up late, opened slightly and whispered: "It is said, just said... that the foreign trade activities of Frozen Water Port are banned, it is probably not because of the relationship with the north. The reason for the intensification of conflicts in the Winter Principality.

"It's because the Frozen Water Port has been cursed."

"...tell me more specifically."

Annan's heart skipped a beat and asked: "What kind of curse? Who placed the curse?"

Of course he would not believe it before that a certain place was cursed. But he had also learned before that the extraordinary power in this world was composed of curses, and he even saw with his own eyes the fate of those who suffered the backlash of the curse.

So, it is not impossible to say that a region is cursed...

"It's a false god," Salvatore also lowered his voice, as if he was worried about disturbing something, "The real god..."

"Gods..."

Annan repeated this word, and his heart skipped a beat.

Although he didn't know the difference between false gods and real gods, or what the difference was, he was involved with such a big shot before he even entered the rank, which always made him a little flustered.

Damn it, why!

I just found a vest to make a transition, and I got involved in such a troublesome matter?

"To be specific, as long as someone within sight of the Frozen Water Port pronounces or silently recites the name of the false god, they will be dragged into the nightmare."

Salvatore said slowly: "I won't tell you his priesthood because I'm worried that you will unconsciously think of this name and be unable to restrain yourself from pronouncing it subconsciously.

"This is a set of puzzles composed of multiple nightmare fragments. Its chain feature is 'replay'. That is to say, if you die from this nightmare, you will lose all the memories in the nightmare and start from scratch.

"It's fine in shallow nightmares. But if you fall into a deep nightmare unconsciously, the mortality rate will rise sharply... After all, you don't know how many times you have repeated the same mistake. Just It will be easy to fall into an endless cycle of death. Until you are completely eroded by the curse and become an out-of-control monster."

The young mayor took a deep breath.

His expression was very serious: "Sir Silver's church sent people here to purify the nightmare here.

"Because this nightmare cannot accommodate multiple people. No matter how many people the church sends, there will only be one of them in their nightmare. In order to prevent someone from dying in the nightmare and becoming the nourishment of the nightmare, the church only sends Someone came over.

"He is Priest Louis. Although he is just the most ordinary priest, not even a priest. But he is actually the agent of the Silver Hand and has rich experience in purifying nightmares.

"He has to perform at least three hundred effective purifications in the nightmare before he can weaken the entire nightmare and cut off the chain. So his main purpose of coming here is not to encourage trade or treat people's injuries. His duty is to continuously enter the shallow nightmare and escape immediately after completing the purification... It is a very dangerous job."

When Salvatore said this, he yawned, took a sip of black tea from the cup, and emphasized: "And I am here to control this secret and not spread it. On the one hand, it is to Responsible for the safety of people’s lives; on the other hand, it is also to prevent Priest Louis from desperately purifying it for a period of time, only to find that the nightmare here is getting stronger and stronger..."

...In other words, is Priest Louis sent to refresh the copy?

Salvatore did not see that Annan's expression became slightly strange.

He was still worried about this before.

If players come to Frozen Water Port, but there is no dungeon for them to grind, will the energetic players cause trouble...

After all, there are really few people here, and there are no monsters outside that they can kill. And Annan is not sure whether the NPC can give players some tasks or something.

If players enter the game and can only do farm work, catch fish, build houses, etc., then this foggy continent might as well be renamed "Longing Life Simulator".

It's fine now.

Annan planned that if the players were energetic, he would directly throw them into the difficult tier.

It’s possible to develop a tremolo...

But Annan was very curious about another thing, even wary:

"...Senior, why did you tell me this?"

"Because Frozen Water Port doesn't need two mayors. The person mainly responsible for purifying nightmares is Priest Louis. I don't have the Holy Light, and I can't use spells in nightmares. What can I do if I go in? It's not nice to say , my duty is to write a letter to the royal capital asking for support after Priest Louis loses control or dies."

Salvatore said with a smile, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood: "In other words, after you take over this job, Lord... I will return to the Black Tower and advance to Silver."

Annan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

...You're not going to **** run away, are you?

Comparing his feelings with others, Annan suddenly began to wonder if Salvatore had discovered some huge danger, so he looked for an opportunity to run away...

Seeing that Annan seemed a little unhappy, Salvatore immediately said: "I'm not leaving right away. Before I leave, you can come over and read my books at any time... If you can't understand, You can also tell me at any time. After all, I was the chief and a prefect, so I should have no problem teaching you."

That's pretty much it.

Hearing this, Annan's complexion became much better.

He is not the real Don Juan Geraint anyway. If there really is a big problem that cannot be solved, just run away...

Compared with future risks, the benefits you can get now are the most real.

The most important thing is that he can finally read some books - hoping to catch up on the common sense of this world here in Salvatore.

Annan is also very tired just relying on her acting skills to communicate with people. ~IndoMTL.com~So Annan quickly responded.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Anan then asked again.

Looking at Annan's expectant and sincere eyes, Salvatore coughed slightly and turned his head away unnaturally.

"I will probably stay in the Black Tower for a long time... I want to work directly in the Black Tower, teach as a professor, and do some research when I have time. It will be quite comfortable."

Having said this, he glanced at Annan and sighed softly: "Of course, if the situation in the Royal Capital continues to be chaotic, I guess the Black Tower will not be comfortable for long.

"Once the war breaks out..."

He didn't say anything else, but Annan didn't ask any further questions.

The inheritance rights of the royal family, the issues at the top of the Principality of Winter, and the false **** who is eyeing the Frozen Water Port...

These things are all intertwined. The deeper Annan went, the more he felt that he was outnumbered.

"The following advancement ceremony may cause trouble for you, senior."

Annan stood up and said to Salvatore seriously.

Salvatore nodded slowly.

His tired eyes opened slightly and warned: "Go read a book first and adjust your state. The advancement ceremony needs to be carried out in a nightmare. I will go to Lewis first to get some information and summarize it for you. Some key points of nightmares.

"Be sure to remember not to do unnecessary things. If you fall into a deep nightmare, no one can save you - understand?"

"No problem."

Annan nodded and replied with certainty: "I will definitely not be mean."

Others say that he is as stable as a defensive tower, so he must be a very stable person.

Annan has always had a very positive opinion of himself.
