The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 261: Just stay here and don’t move around

Looking at Vasily, who had his hands free again and was leaning on Annan's desk writing a letter to Maria, Annan emphasized again: "Remember to read it to me once you finish writing."

"I understand, Your Highness."

Old Vasily didn’t even raise his head and just answered him obediently.

Annan nodded, indicating that he heard it.

He leaned back slightly, leaning on his seat and thinking.

Annan just learned about the order sent by Maria Winter to Vasily:

"Get ready to return home, Vasily. In ten days, a cargo ship covered with blue canvas will arrive at the frozen water port. You can leave by boat."

After that, Vasily immediately asked Annan - if he could reveal the news about his here to Maria?

Annan's answer was yes, but he must know what Vasily wrote.

Vasily Manning easily agreed to this request.

While waiting for him to write a reply, Annan thought silently.

...Vasily Manning.

Annan does know this surname.

He did meet his brother, Merlin Manning.

But that's because Annan had seen him in Nightmare: White Tower.

Merlin was involved in the first half of Michelangelo's ceremony. To be invited by Michelangelo, even if he is not the best wizard of the incapacitation school, it is basically the same.

Before his retirement, Merlin was a core member of the Hand of Winter - even trusted by Maria.

Annan still remembers him... He was a thin, tall, silent old man.

Merlin's curse is a silver tongue ring, and the location of the curse mark is in the mouth. When the wizards clashed, his first reaction was to stand in front of Maria.

...But Annan also knew it very well.

Among those who survived the White Tower ceremony... there must be no Merlin.

In other words, old Merlin should have died five years ago.

A little more calculation...Basically, the time when Vasily was sent by Maria to enter the Kingdom of Noah was basically after the White Tower ceremony. His first duty is to observe Michelangelo's resurrection...

…Yes.

Vasily’s initial mission was just to “observe”.

Although he accepted the employment of the Rofu Church, he was the one who finally released a large number of summoned creatures to disrupt the ritual. This level of intervention has obviously exceeded the level of "observation".

It can even be said that his behavior is somewhat contrary to Maria's orders.

Maria sent him alone and gave him no help. Then her purpose must not be to "destroy the ceremony", but just to observe.

The purpose of sending Vasily is because he has sufficient mysterious knowledge. Able to understand the ceremony.

At first, Annan didn’t quite understand the contradiction.

But after learning that Merlin was Vasily's biological brother... Annan already understood everything.

...That's it.

Did he blame Michelangelo for his brother's death?

Although Vasily received Maria's mission and knew that it was a sublimation ceremony for the gods, he still wanted to give it a try. Can this ceremony be ruined?

That's why Vasily planned to die together with "Don Juan Geraint" at the very beginning. If a direct descendant of the Geraint family dies here, it will inevitably cause turmoil within the Kingdom of Noah.

This is his last ripple.

After seeing Annan and Kaifni, he obviously realized something immediately. Only then did the idea of ​​"Vasily use the Big Bang" be given up.

No wonder...

Annan felt something was wrong from the very beginning.

You must know that the extraordinary power of the ritual master comes entirely from mysterious knowledge.

What determines the strength of a ritualist is their logical analysis ability, adaptability, memory, experience, rationality, courage... and most importantly, money.

The crux of the matter lies here.

Occult knowledge is not cheap.

Some ritual knowledge can directly give birth to ritual masters, so it is a banned book in most countries; and the knowledge about gods is itself a taboo that cannot be spread - that knowledge has weight and cannot be remembered by mortal brains .

Even if you hear or see it, you can only use it once at most.

Those secret books that record mysterious knowledge cannot be easily obtained by people without money.

Annan previously thought that this might be the direct sect of Fufu... because there were too many summons. It's not like this is a vast amount of knowledge that one person can master.

But it is.

This can only mean one thing.

Those idiot disciples of Vasily did not realize at all...that their teacher was definitely not some wild, impoverished ritualist. But an official of a certain country.

The "secret book" that has recorded the forbidden knowledge about the gods will not disappear after reading; it just needs to be read again to supplement it after it is consumed. And the knowledge about the rituals was confiscated by them in the forbidden library.

Whether it is King Noah or the Duke of Winter, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely try to create a ritualist.

Why did Vasily know so many kinds of forbidden knowledge?

Why can he be trusted by Maria to lurk alone in other countries to perform missions related to gods, and have been lurking for as long as five years?

The answer is simple.

He and his brother have basically the same profession!

His brother Merlin is a senior executive of the Hand of Winter, and is mainly responsible for the domestic espionage of dissidents; and Vasily himself can be personally ordered by Maria to carry out cross-border missions that last for several years... ...It can only show that Vasily is also an elite in espionage affairs.

After all, when extraordinary people enter and exit through underground passages, they must check customs clearance documents and strictly verify their identity. This makes it impossible for them to carry out espionage missions...but ordinary people are too weak to fight against extraordinary beings. Priests with stable extraordinary power cannot be directly mobilized by the royal families of various countries.

The only ones who can pass through the gray fog... are the ritual masters.

So Annan finally understood another thing:

Why do you arrest the ritual master when you see him?

Because every ritual master, no matter strong or weak... may be a spy for other countries.

"It's written."

Vasily said softly.

Then he put the pen on the table, reached out and pushed the letter to Annan.

I saw it said:

"Tribute to Storm and Wolf:

"New information: I have met with His Highness Annan, who has been missing for a long time. He is now in Noah, under the alias of Don Juan Geraint. He has completed the conjecture of the year, obtained the reverse inscription, and regained However, His Highness has become a transcendent and cannot return to the winter through the gray fog by boat.

"Another: His Highness Annan is now on good terms with His Highness Kafni the 'Shadow Demon' and has advanced to Silver Knight, so his identity may have been leaked;

"Ask, will I return to winter in ten days as originally planned?"

Watching Annan carefully reading the reply~IndoMTL.com~ Vasily took the initiative to speak and asked Annan in a low voice: "Your Highness, the second to last paragraph...should be deleted?"

"...No need."

Annan decisively refused: "That's it."

He believes that Maria needs more accurate information so that her actions will not deviate. The information must be conveyed accurately enough.

And there's nothing to delete...

Soon, Annan watched Vasily perform a simple sacrifice ceremony and "burn" the information to Maria.

Not long after, Vasily raised his head.

"I received your reply, Your Highness."

Vasily said respectfully: "The return plan is cancelled.

"'The Daughter of the Storm' ordered me to leave Noah to assist you. She will find a way to take you back and ask me to send you a message. Please don't try to cross the underground border and wait quietly. Noah, don’t run around and don’t interact with strangers anymore.”

...But I can't help but run around.

Annan sighed deeply.

In three months, I will go to the royal capital... This is a mission personally assigned by Sir Silver.

Annan reluctantly repeated the task and asked Vasily to pass it on to Maria.

...I always feel that Maria treats him as a child? ?

Tell him to stop where he is and not to run around or talk to strangers... just like what you would say to a lost child on your mobile phone.

No, Annan’s physical age seems to be that of a child...
