The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 24: Revenge

"So that's it..."

Annan closed the book and whispered to himself.

Close your eyes slightly and digest the knowledge you have gained.

He has been staying at the mayor's house for two full days.

During the past two days, Annan has been reading. He gave full play to his learning ability and started emergency preparation when the final exam was one week away from the university...

He also learned an important piece of information——

Extraordinary people cannot sneak into other countries.

The world is much smaller than he imagined... In other words, the land area "in this era" is only slightly larger than Europe.

It does not mean that there is only one continent on this planet. It's because the world is filled with "fog".

In appearance, it is a ubiquitous gray-white thick fog.

Its essence is a materialized curse, so it cannot be blown away by the wind. If mortals live in dense fog, they will soon become ill and die within four to five years; animals and plants will also die on a large scale, and those few who do not die will become twisted monsters.

But ordinary people can live in the gray fog after all, and there will also be cross-border trade with caravans.

However, the extraordinary cannot.

The superior extraordinary beings are quite powerful.

But once they come into contact with the gray mist, the curse in their bodies will be rapidly activated, and the degree of erosion by the curse will increase rapidly, and they will fall into a forced nightmare every night. Moreover, as long as you die in the foggy nightmare, your body in reality will also die.

Basically speaking, extraordinary people cannot leave the country. Once they enter the fog, they usually lose control within three days or die before the sun rises.

Because the capitals and major cities of each country have a special barrier, and the range covered by the barrier is basically the scope of the country.

All the Orthodox Churches have mastered this barrier technology, which can effectively exclude the gray fog beyond the national borders.

If extraordinary people want to leave the country and enter other countries, they can only move through underground passages.

Unless you raise your level to above gold and get the Fragment of Truth. After all the curses in the body were transferred to the fragment of truth, he could barely move across the fog.

"So, even if I am indeed being hunted by an assassin, the assassin cannot leave the Principality of Winter."

Annan said to himself: "And I can cross the inland sea and drift here. It's because I am not an extraordinary person."

Is this why no pirates were seen at sea and there were so few ships...

——There are only five countries in this world.

At least within the current isolated range, shrouded in gray fog, there are only the last five civilized countries left...

The book mentions that the world five hundred years ago was much larger than it is now.

At that time, several countries were now under the rule of a large empire, and there were other races and countries in the southeast, northwest, and northwest... But three hundred years ago, the empire suddenly sank.

The entire island sank into the sea, and the glorious civilization came to an abrupt end.

After that, each country quickly became independent, and the churches of the Twelve True Gods also fell apart. The big barrier also moved with the church and was broken into five barriers of different sizes. Except for one country that accommodates two churches at the same time, and one country that is jointly ruled by the Seven Gods Church, each country is exclusively protected by one righteous god.

But small enchantments are obviously not as useful as large enchantments.

Since then, the gray fog has been getting closer every year... Every few decades, the outermost cities will be engulfed by the gray fog. The barriers that were originally close to each other also had a large gap between them - that is, the "neutral space".

When the crisis strikes, some countries begin to gradually move their civilization underground, while others try to lift their country into the sky. The contemporary king of the Kingdom of Noah made a heroic decision when he succeeded twenty-seven years ago:

He decided to unify the five countries by force... and rebuild the Great Barrier.

If he succeeds, then this can be called a "glorious and immortal" human epic. His ambition and great achievements are enough to leave a mark in history——

The author of that book predicted so.

...But obviously, he failed.

Although extraordinary beings cannot leave their country, they can at least defend their country. It was a stupid decision to let ordinary soldiers use their flesh and blood to fight against extraordinary power. No one knows what the source of his confidence was in his decision to do so.

Now nearly thirty years have passed, and the king has become old.

But his old goal was still not achieved.

His children have lost patience.

They were no longer interested in the old king's lifelong mission, and each had their own strategies to save the country. The king is still on the throne, but his children have begun to fight for the inheritance unscrupulously.

Annan can predict that the Kingdom of Noah will soon be in chaos.

But he can't leave Noah's Kingdom yet. At least he couldn't go to the Principality of Winter.

That is the territory of the righteous **** "The God of Frost and Tradition". She is respectfully called "Old Grandmother" by the people of the principality, and the "cold-blooded lady" by people of other faiths.

Under the influence of her priests, the Principality of Winter is autistic and conservative. People all over the country respect tradition and reject change. Even if foreigners want to enter, they will be strongly repelled... Therefore, it is difficult to infiltrate spies from other countries.

Every time there is a big change in the Principality of Winter, it is only slowly known to foreigners long after the incident is over. This time is no exception.

Annan could only learn from Salvatore that something big had happened in the Principality of Winter.

Because not long ago, the Principality of Winter announced an emergency closure of the port, prohibiting all ships from entering and exiting. Orders from several wizarding academies in the Kingdom of Noah are even stuck on the other side.

... To be on the safe side, Annan decided to wait until the dust settled before going back to take a look.

Looking at this posture, someone might have killed the king and usurped the throne. If he goes back at this time, he will definitely be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.

Not as good as a variety of Aida.

Wait until you gather a wave of players before considering it again.

"Get ready to advance."

Annan murmured in a low voice: "But which copy should I play..."

To be conservative, how about making another copy of Don Juan?

Should we wait for Salvatore’s information to come and try the difficult book?

The rewards for completing the difficult version are definitely better. But he is currently in a farming rhythm, and his need for his own strength should not be considered urgent...

As if sensing his hesitation, a line of characters burning with bright red flames suddenly appeared in front of Annan's eyes.

[06:00:00 before the start of the closed beta]

This line of text hovered for about three seconds and then disappeared.

Looking at this line ~IndoMTL.com~ Annan was silent for a while, turned to look at his watch, and checked the time again.

The time now is six o'clock in the evening.

......Early morning internal beta test?

Is it so cool?

At this moment, Annan suddenly heard the sound of the key turning.

Salvatore is back——

Yesterday, he made an agreement with Pastor Lewis to pick up the "dungeon guide" today. But he went out early this morning and didn't come back until the sun went down in the evening...

He quietly raised his head and cast doubtful eyes on the former mayor.

Salvatore's eyes were still very sleepy, but his steps were fast and urgent.

"Why did it take you so long to leave?" Annan asked.

"Stop talking," Salvatore frowned, "Let me ask you, Don Juan. Is the ship you came over on is the one parked in the fjord? About sixty meters, three masts That ship?"

"...What happened?"

Annan hesitated for a moment and answered ambiguously.

He felt a little uneasy.

I always thought this would be bad news...

Are there new risks of identity exposure?

Still...

"Your ship is on fire."

Salvatore glanced at Annan with pity and replied slowly: "Just last night, the ship suddenly caught fire at night and was burned directly to ashes. The fire was very violent, at least this morning When I went over to take a look, there was only a shelf left. There was nothing inside... I think you can't leave for the time being.

"If it weren't for the civil unrest among the guards you left on the ship, then I think..."

The young mayor paused, stared at Annan's face and replied softly: "This may be a provocation - or, in other words, revenge."
