The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 26: Can, can I bounce the ticket?

Hard to understand.

Unbelievable.

After Salvatore urged Annan and asked him to show the four spells he had in turn, he sat in his seat without saying a word and stared at Annan in a daze.

How... did he do it?

An uninitiated wizard apprentice spent two days learning four spells without anyone's guidance.

The teacher said that Don Juan was very talented, but Salvatore didn't believe it at that time...

Now it seems like this is a level of "very" talent? !

Teacher, what are you doing? Didn’t you teach him a single spell?

Salvatore could see that the traces of these four spells were very faint. This means that after their lord learned these four spells, he almost never used them.

This can only be because Annan really just learned these four spells.

As a spell is released repeatedly, the corresponding curse gradually becomes symbiotic with the body, and the spell becomes more and more powerful. Until it becomes completely instinctive, it can be used without casting spells or consuming mana.

This is why in most cases, the old wizard is always stronger.

Although this does not guarantee that the old wizard will be powerful - after all, he may not have learned his first spell until he was forty or fifty years old - but the young wizard must not be powerful enough.

...damn it.

Could this guy Don Juan be the illegitimate son of the mysterious lady?

Such blasphemous thoughts suddenly appeared in Salvatore's mind.

He almost doubted his previous thirty years of life.

He still remembered that when he learned his first spell and successfully became a wizard apprentice, it took him a total of three weeks. When he solidified the flame on the candle into a red crystal, his teacher from the Transformation School praised his talent and introduced him to Benjamin.

Under Benjamin's guidance, it took him ten days to learn the second spell - to detonate the crystal and turn the fragments into iron pieces. Benjamin kept watching him after that, and only allowed him to learn the next spell when he turned the large pieces of iron into fine and numerous steel needles.

That is the guidance spell, [Magnetization]. It can control steel needles to fly in the air.

His next spell is the very difficult [Thunderstorm Field]. It took him two months to finally master this spell.

It can use magnetized metal products in groups of two as materials to summon high-voltage lightning that links two steel needles. Using the crystals prepared in advance as materials, he could summon steel needles and then summon large swaths of electricity.

Salvatore was not allowed to advance to Bronze until he held a full cycle of real-time tactics. Become a wizard of the Transmutation School.

Every bronze-level transcendent must possess a considerable degree of combat effectiveness. This is to prevent them from being easily killed by ordinary people.

This is a responsibility for one’s own life, and also for other people——

Because the body of the extraordinary must be disposed of as soon as possible.

The specific way to deal with it is to have another transcendent perform a ritual to absorb the former's curse and inherit the former's curse - this is one of the fastest shortcuts to gain power, and is usually evidence of killing others.

And if no one absorbs the curse of a transcendent for a long time... nightmares will be born from it.

Just the nightmare of the birth of a bronze-level transcendent is enough to easily kill ordinary people - after all, before becoming a transcendent, human beings cannot maintain their conscious selves in dreams. If you continue to die in nightmares, you will gradually be infected by the curse and gradually turn into a twisted monster...or die a lucky death.

Even if you become a transcendent, you can barely stay awake, knowing that you are in a dream, and you may not even be able to recall your original identity.

Only those with magical talents can stay awake in dreams.

Even for those priests, the malice, despair, pain, and anger held by the nightmare master will infect them all the time, interfere with their decisions, and make them make decisions that are "impossible to make on their own." choose.

It's not that you can be far better than ordinary people if you gain extraordinary power... but if you can't defeat ordinary people independently, no matter how talented you are, you won't be allowed to advance to an extraordinary person.

Every time you advance, you must share your curse with the world under the witness of another transcendent. And this person is their secret keeper, usually their mentor, parent or senior or sister.

In other words, without the trust and affirmation of at least one extraordinary person, a mortal can never advance to become an extraordinary person.

"Can I advance now?"

Annan asked Salvatore seriously.

"Yes..."

Salvatore felt that his throat was dry and hoarse.

No, no, no, this must be because of being roasted by the fire outside...

He tried to suppress the jealousy and despair in his heart. As a transcendent, every negative emotion is a time bomb.

"Since Don Juan is willing to trust me and choose me instead of the teacher as his secret keeper, I can't do anything immoral to him."

Salvatore advised himself in his heart.

Because every transcendent needs a trustworthy secret keeper.

The reason why they must be trustworthy is that after the secret keeper obtains their spell, they can naturally kill them easily.

If no one knows about the curse, then the curse will not be bound and will corrode itself every time the supernatural power is used. On the other hand, the more secret keepers one has, the stronger the power of this oath becomes.

This curse is not only a rope that binds the owner's behavior, but also an armor that protects the owner from being eroded by the curse.

Oath and curse, this is the duality of this world.

"So, when can we have the ceremony?"

Annan frowned slightly and asked with some urgency: "Viscount Rossburg is trying to do something against me. I must get enough strength to protect myself as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, since I chose to be your secret keeper, I can be regarded as half of your mentor. I will definitely settle all your problems before leaving."

Salvatore promised: "As long as I am alive, you will not suffer."

As he spoke, he explained to Annan what a secret keeper was, as well as the relationship and obligations between the secret keeper and the bound person.

One of the obligations is that the bound person has the obligation to collect the body of the secret keeper. Of course, there are many bound people under Salvatore's name, and it may not be Annan's turn. But as a legacy, he still has to make this clear.

After listening, Annan nodded.

"Yes."

Annan replied readily: "I can trust you."

There is nothing you can do if you don’t believe it.

Annan was also very helpless. At least until his identity is revealed, Salvatore must be credible.

He has only seen one extraordinary person who is temporarily considered a friendly camp... and he must have a sufficient level of strength and prowess when the player arrives.

Otherwise it would be difficult for him to suppress them.

If the identity is exposed, the worst possible thing is to change the secret keeper... No, forget it.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and rejected the idea.

It's better to be simpler and choose a curse that is really difficult to break. The most important thing is not to contradict yourself. For example, Benjamin's first curse is actually quite difficult to break.

Of course, the most important thing is to see what kind of curse you will get.

According to Salvatore's previous introduction, the permanent curse received during advancement was not one's own choice, but it was not forced upon others. Instead, he chooses one of several targeted curses based on what he did in the advanced nightmare.

The better the nightmare is completed, the stronger the power of the curse and the broader the curse itself. On the other hand, if the nightmare completion level is low, the curse will be very clear and the power it brings will be very poor.

"Since you are eager to advance, I will stay up all night again tonight."

Salvatore sighed, reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes, and muttered in a low voice:

"Don Juan, bring me the cold-proof clothes. I will go to the basement to analyze the black fire sample to see who sold this thing to Viscount Roseburg. This thing must be soundproofed and cooled when handled, otherwise there will be The possibility of explosion..."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"It's pretty fast, about seven or eight hours. Anyway, it's not even time for me to go to bed when it's done."

The young mayor with two dark circles under his eyes, who looked like Gaara, took over the cold-proof clothes, sighed again, and said angrily: "Don't disturb me! I'm going to work - you Don’t disturb me either~IndoMTL.com~If you have anything to do, we’ll talk about it tomorrow morning!”

Soon, Salvatore entered the soundproof and temperature-proof basement.

Annan looked at his watch, it was not yet seven o'clock. So he had dinner first and then came back to continue reading.

He planned to stay awake today to see what would happen at twelve o'clock in the morning.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the morning that some reminders suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Seeing such a long list of prompts, Annan was completely confused.

...What does it mean?

I have traveled through time, do I still want to continue to be a game planner?

Am I the mastermind of destiny?

And you still have one hour left to launch the game... but you haven’t started writing the copy yet? Didn’t you even do the UI?
