The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 363: The former Annan
Half a minute passed until the faceless poet disappeared completely.
The slight trembling feeling that filled the air and made the skin slightly numb finally gradually dissipated.
Even after it completely dissipated, Annan still felt a crackling vibration on his skin.
Just like after hearing noise continuously, you will have auditory hallucinations in your ears from time to time when you come to a quiet room——
After being soaked by the cold wind, you can't help but shiver when you return to a warm room. It's not that the skin is cold, but that the bones and flesh are injected with liquid "chill".
——This is "residue".
That is the origin and original meaning of those "influence" names.
If large-scale extraordinary power is used, it will leave a mark on the world and have corresponding effects. This can be regarded as one of the prices of extraordinary power. Just like Annan's only distortion spell...as long as it is used, it will be affected.
Just like the grooves carved with stones on the bottom of the river... although it will gradually dissipate over time, it will continue to affect the surrounding world until it dissipates.
Similarly - those existences that hold truth are themselves manifestations of concepts.
Just by their existence, they will cause the world around them to be alienated by the truth within a certain range. This kind of influence based on the soul level can only be felt by extraordinary people with keen intuition and specialization in perception.
The older and more powerful the gods are, the more they can restrain their influence on the outside world; and the more new the gods are... powerful beings that have not even mastered the truth yet, the more they will cause damage to the surroundings.
It is precisely for this reason that the abnormality caused to Annan when the Faceless Poet appears is weaker than that of the Skeleton Man. It can even be completely retracted and hidden if you pay a little attention; Sir Silver will not be disturbed when he walks on the street. Anyone's inspiration can be detected.
And like the "remnants of Leviathan", they will still exist on the beach even long after she leaves.
There is a problem here.
That is...
Annan himself can also make an impact.
He remembers it clearly.
When he saw Salvatore's magic mirror that could reveal the nature of the soul, he was directly affected by observing his own soul...
Even a high-level influence.
Does this mean that... Annan's soul has been alienated to a certain extent?
But Annan's soul has indeed not been sublimated.
It’s not just a matter of not having something to carry.
Annan's level was so low at the beginning... and when he advanced to silver, he did remove a lot of impurities.
——Even if Annan is actually in his second week, he can’t be “refreshing his skills and practicing again” in the true sense.
Considering what the Faceless Poet said, "knowledge has weight" and "you don't need to carry the weight forward yet."
Could it be...
Annan, who is in the first week of the week, is actually following the path of a ritualist?
This thought came to Annan's mind.
If this is the case, then everything is explained clearly.
——Vasily Manning mentioned to Annan that as early as a year before the attack of the rotten husband, the thirteen-year-old Annan had left the winter alone. And very few people know about this.
Annan is so weak and has no bodyguards, so why can the Grand Duke rest assured that he will leave the Principality of Winter alone?
Unless Annan is not alone at all.
There is indeed "no one" around him, but there is God.
The ritualist's power comes from extraordinary knowledge. As the heir to the name of Winter, Annan is more suitable to learn this kind of knowledge than the Manning brothers... At the same time, Annan is a time traveler, and his enlightenment time is much earlier than ordinary people. When he was three years old, he gained the ability to protect himself through rituals and got to know many gods - it was not impossible.
That's why Annan was able to forcibly hold the "Ritual: Fragments of the Prophet" when the materials were missing, and completed a small part of it without any side effects... He did see the fragments of the future at that time.
Because Annan himself is a ritualist who has lost his memory!
Although he lost his memory about these rituals... it was like he had forgotten all his skills.
But his affinity and proficiency in rituals still exist!
"So that's it..."
Annan murmured.
Old Nolan walked up to Annan with a smile: "Do you have any questions now?"
"...You have already guessed that I have lost my memory?"
Seeing his reaction, Annan raised his eyebrows and asked unceremoniously.
The kind and gentle smile on this ordinary-looking old man's face has not changed at all.
"It's just speculation...I wasn't very sure before.
"You said when you were a child that you would marry Kaifni when you grow up - although I was not present, old man, I heard it from my eldest son."
...Is it true or false?
Annan hesitated for a moment.
But thinking about it carefully, this seems to be something I can say...
Just like he is now playing a beautiful boy of thirteen or fourteen years old to win the favor of players... If he is asked to play a **-year-old child, Annan will also consider what he can gain from his age and identity. benefit.
Relying on the innocent banner of "child talk without restraint", taking advantage of the situation to win favor with her, preparing to find a wife with good appearance, status and character for herself in the future... It is indeed something Annan can do.
If this is really the case, then it can explain Kaifuni's attitude towards herself...
In this way, you must adjust your attitude towards Kaifni.
Although I don’t remember it now, this is what I once did.
Of course I have to take responsibility now.
...What's more, Kaifuni is indeed cute.
Just...
Annan gave Old Crow a sideways glance.
Although he had no objections to the Geraint family, Annan still felt a little awkward with his attitude of clearly telling himself, "I'm going to take advantage of you next."
Perhaps this is one of the subsequent effects of losing the memory of the fourteen years he lived as a superior.
The former Annan must have adapted to the situation of being taken advantage of anytime and anywhere.
"The Faceless Poet was also invited by you?"
"No, that's not the case."
The old man immediately defended: "He found out that you came to Noah, so he came here temporarily. Before that, I didn't know that you and the Faceless Poet were acquainted.
"Of course, I didn't know you were connected to so many true gods..."
——In the name of the Faceless Poet, I will keep this strictly confidential.
Nolan promised Annan so.
Eugene Geraint on the side also took advantage of the situation and swore an oath of secrecy to the faceless poet.
"Then I would like to ask," Annan pondered for a long time and asked, "How much do you know about 'Nicholas Flamel'?"
"The one from Denisoa Kingdom?"
Old Crow replied calmly: "His actions have always been under our surveillance. Including his route of action, transactions with everyone, the apprentices and assistants he recruited, and the experiments he conducted.
"He tried to avoid our surveillance. But he soon discovered that Noah is all over our 'eyes', and even a great sage cannot do this."
"No, I mean... do you know anything about what he has done?"
Annan added.
Nolan and Eugene looked at each other.
Eugene took over and asked, "Is it because he was the master of the Jade Tower?"
"No, it was he who betrayed all mankind... and almost caused the epochal disaster."
Annan looked at the expressions of the two people carefully and suddenly smiled: "It seems that the crow doesn't know something either."
No wonder...he can travel freely in the royal capital. ~IndoMTL.com~ It seems His Majesty the King really doesn’t understand what happened to Nicholas.
Although there is no stone hammer yet, it must be just in case.
Feeling Annan's harmless ridicule, Nolan also smiled helplessly: "We only know what we know."
While he was talking, Eugene took down a bottle of wine from the top of the wine cabinet.
The old man stood up and poured a glass of wine for Annan himself.
This is wine as green as jade... The color looks like poison, but it has no taste.
"This is the 'Gift of Spring', one of the gifts of the Church of the Bone Burial. It is just to moisten your mouth, not as a price for information."
Nolan explained briefly, and then said seriously: "In addition to selling information, we also purchase information here.
"Please give me more details, Your Highness...the price is negotiable."
