The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 278: The real man behind the scenes

The sunshine in the Principality of Winter is already dim.

Although the small barrier covering the city can keep out the blizzard... the barrier itself has no lighting function, and the blizzard roaring above still blocks the skylight.

So in the Principality of Winter, the streets are always dark.

The office of the Grand Duke's Palace is also so dark - only by turning the switch on the table can the green fire burn and illuminate the room.

Although it is burning with green flames, it emits a light yellow bright light. This is also the characteristic of green fire.

The green flame lamp on the table is much brighter than a candle and can effectively protect eyesight.

In terms of brightness, this green fire lamp is about the same as an eye protection desk lamp, maybe even weaker. Because there is a lampshade on the outside to make the light less dazzling.

It started from the moment Annan entered this room and closed the door.

The whole room was suddenly filled with light.

Neither harsh nor burning. On the contrary, it makes people feel obviously comfortable, as if they were basking in the sun on a soft sofa in the afternoon when the temperature is just right.

Even the glow of the green light in the room became dim after Annan entered the room.

It becomes as weak as a candle lit under the sun at noon.

This faint light even gives people an inexplicable "well-behaved" feeling.

——Just because all lights are tame in front of Annan.

After Annan closed the door, he lazily leaned against the door behind him.

Annan raised his head with a smile, revealing a smile that was so beautiful that it shocked people's hearts.

There is no doubt that it belongs to the field of elemental power.

With just a movement, a look... or even just his presence in this room, Annan poured endless light into the consciousness of Demetri and Earl Melvin.

Yes, in perception - not in the eye.

It is useless even if you close your eyes. It's useless to cover it with your hands.

Every drop of light in the room is like a tiny drop of mist, which can even be felt with the skin, breathed with the mouth and nose...can smell the fragrance, and taste with the tongue.

It's like burning rosin, and like a slightly sweet and slightly bitter oil.

As long as you meet Annan once, you will never forget——

Earl Melvin seemed to have some fear in his heart.

But it just seems.

Because these messy emotions were completely dispelled by the light in my heart the moment they occurred. Just looking at Annan, Earl Melvin's mood became extremely peaceful...

Earl Melvin has lived for decades, but his mood has never been as peaceful as it is today.

All the disturbances outside disappeared. The whole world becomes silent and harmonious, and all worries and even tasks that need to be dealt with are thrown away.

It's like having a full, sweet sleep and waking up refreshed and happy. The whole world became clear.

Therefore, even though Count Melvin knew in his heart that he had to be wary of Archduke Annan, he still unconsciously developed a liking for him.

Earl Melvin immediately calmed down.

Then he used magic to check... and found that there were several more influences on himself that he had either seen or not seen before.

——Low-level impact: A bright spot.

——Low-level influence: warm happiness.

——High-level influence: flowing light.

Among them, Earl Melvin only knows the influence of [Flowing Light]. This is the purest and most universal influence in the field of aura.

The remaining two new influences are new influences unique to Annan.

——No spell required.

Just existing will change the minds of others, and even just a "look" will have an impact.

There is no doubt that this is a characteristic only possessed by gold-level extraordinary beings.

It's not even the golden level that makes up the numbers.

Judging from the density of this influence, it is even one step away from the sublimation ceremony and the complete construction of the sublime false body... the only legendary "Stage of Truth" that exists!

The truth level is not a real level. Compared with the gold level, it has not completed a completely reborn upgrade. The soul is still the solid soul of the gold level.

This word is usually used to describe the intermediate state between "having completely surpassed the golden level" and "but not yet becoming a god".

This means that Annan basically only needs one ceremony and formalities to become a **** - he has even been able to recruit believers and establish a church!

...By this time, it was already too late to stop Annan from sublimating.

But when this thought flashed through Earl Melvin's mind.

He suddenly felt something was wrong——

Under Annan's half-smiling gaze, an inexplicable and invisible chill penetrated his body.

It was like an extremely cold breeze blowing in front of him... And he had just walked out of a warm room wearing a sweater full of holes. The feeling of fatigue and happiness he had felt not long ago was dispelled in an instant.

That is not an illusion.

It is a field filled with the elements of "understanding"!

Although Annan does not understand the magic of the soul-stealing school, the "understanding" element he has mastered can also be used to read minds.

It’s not about “stealing ideas”, it’s about “understanding ideas”.

Just like the elements of understanding can be used to communicate with animals, plants, and even the sky and the earth... Even if a person's subjective consciousness wants to keep a secret, his body will honestly reach a consensus with Annan.

"That's it."

Annan said with a smile: "You want to interrupt my sublimation ceremony.

"Then let's talk about it——"

As Annan’s voice fell.

Earl Melvin felt that the surrounding environment suddenly became dark.

Only he, Annan, and the ground were glowing... Even Dmitri and the table behind him disappeared without a trace. It turned into pure darkness.

The sounds outside the window also disappeared, and the whole world instantly became silent. Only his heartbeat increased several times louder, rumbling like a drum. The shock made his eardrums hurt.

...Is this an illusion? Am I in a dream?

Or is it some kind of special field? Or did it pull me into another dimension?

The expression of the patriarch of the Melvin family suddenly became stiff.

With his level as a silver-level transcendent and a great ritual master, he can't even tell the details of Annan's move...

Anan, who was opposite Count Melvin, stretched out an index finger and drew a line in front of him in a hurry.

Looking from the earl's side, it's really just a line.

But Annan stretched out his hand and gently twisted it a few times, just like cutting paper money, cutting the line into a circle.

Annan then reached out and held the disc of light, as if it really had a physical body - it glowed like the sun, but when Annan took it away, Earl Melvin clearly saw it again There is no "thickness" at all!

Annan put this "CD" under his body.

It just hung in the air, and Annan sat down gracefully and crossed his right leg. Cross the fingers of both hands and rest them on your chin.

I don’t know when Annan’s eyes turned back into a pair of blue pupils, and suddenly turned into a deep blue like the starry sky. Two complex runes emerged from the depths, looking like illuminated constellations.

"Tell me, Earl Melvin," Annan's voice was gentle and non-hostile, "Who is behind the Melvin family? Or rather, what?"

There is a huge gap in the "volume" of existence between the two. If Annan is a star, Earl Melvin is just a hyena on the planet.

Earl Melvin is now completely unable to move.

It's not that I'm restrained, nor that I'm shocked... To use a metaphor, it means that my authority over my body has been reduced to the point where I can't drive it.

...Is the gap between gold level and silver level so big? !

——Impossible.

Earl Melvin immediately rejected his idea.

He also saw the "god on earth". That is the senior gold level passed down from generation to generation - and when the God on earth is angry, Earl Melvin just seems to see natural disasters such as avalanches, earthquakes, and mudslides.

Although he was so scared that he could only run away~IndoMTL.com~, he was not completely unable to escape.

And now...

Despite his best efforts to restrain himself, his thoughts still unconsciously drifted to the most secret corner.

A name that is familiar to Annan but has not been heard for a long time:

——Gryaznuha.

His former name was Gryaznuha Rindong, and he was a person who was "removed".

The expelled member of the Winter Family...and the Pope of the dead **** Bones.

"...It turned out to be him?"

Annan muttered in surprise: "I thought it was a worm..."

Or is it that Gryaznuha is the agent of the worm, and Melvin is just a tool?
