The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 394: Lu Xiucai directly calls the expert (2 in 1)

"Player Super Justice ()"

After a while, Philip gradually recovered.

But even so, he looked several years older. The moment the dejected look appeared, the carefree and optimistic smile disappeared from his face.

"You... look familiar."

Philip no longer denied his identity.

He acquiesced to Victor's words, raised his head and asked: "Then, who are you?

"You can know me, know my real surname; you even know Master Chiron, know what crimes Master Chiron has committed, know the information about great-level curses, and know that Master Chiron may know the secret of the sinking of the imperial capital... …who are you?”

Not waiting for Victor to answer, Philip replied calmly: "You should have met me before. But I don't remember you at all, so there is a high probability that you are not an elf of the same age as me.

"You have gray eyes - but pure-blood elves should all have green eyes... If I remember correctly, as long as the elf's eye color turns metallic, it is proof that the taboo has been violated many times."

Philip narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and leaned back slightly: "You have sucked in curse energy for a long time. This will make the clear and pure condensed soul of the elf become like metal.

"And you are still alive today despite being guilty of a serious crime... It means that you have made great achievements, which can even make up for your sin of sucking the blood of the world. In addition, as the Hand of Winter, you followed His Majesty Annan from Lin Come with us from the Winter Principality..."

His voice became lower and lower.

Prince Philip frowned and thought.

And Victor did not interrupt his thoughts, he just stood behind Annan wearing a butler uniform and smiling. His hands were behind his back, and his posture was elegant and upright.

"...who are you?"

After a long time, Prince Philip frowned and asked: "It's such a long memory... I can't remember it anymore."

His memory loss is too serious.

Every time he uses the Fourth Theory of History, he will lose a quarter of his memory - and these memories are of course not the memories of his first life, but all the memories he had when using the Fourth Theory of History. .

And this quarter of the memory is not a quarter of the entire section. And like data loss, it will destroy some details of all memories.

He has been reincarnated so many times that the memory of his earliest life has become fragmented.

He can still recognize Chiron and know his own name... which is already very difficult.

——It’s almost like Alzheimer’s.

Annan thought.

Facing Philip's performance, Victor didn't seem surprised.

He just shook his head slightly and said calmly: "I am Victor, Victor Frostwhisper...do you remember?"

"You..."

Philip frowned.

Victor continued: "I live in an era before 'Winter' was born. I am the founder of the profession of [Frost Whisperer], the first Frost Whisperer scholar in the world.

"I simplified the Dragon Language, which is complex and has extraordinary power, and is difficult for mortals to chant and understand. I removed some masculine words that were too strong, modified some sounds that elves cannot say, and modified He invented grammar... and invented a frost language that even elves can speak and dragons can understand.

"I am the first elf who does not have dragon blood at all and can be given the name 'Frost Whisper' by my old grandmother. Because my word 'Frost Whisper' is not my family's surname, nor is it 'Frost Whisperer' Dragon's race, but a title that belongs to me... just like you were named 'The Orator' by the emperor.

"My wife was once a giant dragon. She is the biological sister of the contemporary Grand Duke Frost Whisperer, and she is also the promoter of 'Frost Whisper' in the dragon clan. She is not only my lover, but also my teacher, At the same time, he is also the partner who helped me create the language 'Frost Language'..."

At this point, Victor suddenly paused.

Then he spoke again: "Of course, for mortals...my other identity is more worthy of their memory.

"I am the fourth generation tower master of the Storm Tower...also known as the 'Eldest Storm Daughter', the biological father of Altaster Frostwhisper, and the guardian of the fourth to tenth generation Storm Daughters. , and is also the initiator and advocate of the 'Quit Curse Energy' activity.

"I've said so much...do you still remember me? Or, do you still remember what happened when you were an elf?"

Victor's words made Philip remain silent.

The elf with frosty hair and gray eyes sighed and looked at Philip, who was still a little confused.

There was some nostalgia and some pity in his eyes: "Framel - this surname is called 'the wise man' in the Elvish language. Your most outstanding descendant, Nicholas Flamel once An improver of the Philosopher's Stone.

"The Philosopher's Stone can extend the lifespan of gold-level extraordinary beings and greatly enhance their power. And I think he will not know... how ugly his ancestors have become in order to 'survive' Appearance."

Annan raised his eyebrows.

He has realized the crux of the problem.

After so many reincarnations, the memory of Philip's first life has long been incomplete. In addition to remembering that he had been tricked by the first King Noah, and who he was... he had almost completely forgotten his common sense as an elf.

Perhaps even Philip himself began to doubt his original memories. Those memories were in tatters, and it was inevitable that some details might have been forgotten... Then Philip could only repair them through logic and imagination.

From this point of view, what he told Annan about the information about "Chiron"... was not necessarily intended to mislead Annan.

——The truth is, maybe he himself can’t remember clearly.

So he subconsciously modified the memory in the direction he wanted.

The remaining memories of his first life are simply not enough to support his personality as "Philippe Flamel".

Or...

Every time Philip used the Fourth Theory of History to reincarnate in the future, he was actually erasing his old personality.

This was certainly what Philip did not want to see at first.

But now that he has done it, it is impossible for him to stop.

Once it stops, it will be tantamount to denying the significance of the existence of the previous "Philip".

...Perhaps he plans to stop reincarnation now because he has forgotten his obsession with reincarnation in the first place.

"...I won't lie to you. I really...can't remember what you said."

Philip finally spoke.

The carefree smile no longer hung on his face, and his voice became deeper: "But there is one thing you said wrong.

"I am not looking for a blank book of truth from Chiron...I have lived enough. No, to be more precise...I no longer know the reason for continuing to live.

"I...forgot very important things. I also forgot people who were once very important to me. But I even forgot, what exactly did I forget."

Philip said slowly: "I just feel that I have lived for so long, and my life has lasted for hundreds of years... If it ends ugly, my life will be in vain.

“I still remember a long, long time ago, someone asked me: ‘If you had three more years to live, what would you do?’ I don’t remember who asked this, and I don’t know what I was doing at that time. How did you answer?

"But if I answer this question now...then I just want to have fun. I don't want to think about anything anymore, I want a peaceful and happy life, I want the final sleep...

"I'm very tired."

Philip raised his hand again, put the cold honey barbecue that he had been holding in his hand to his mouth, bit off a piece of it hard, and chewed it slowly.

The meat that has cooled down will naturally lose its flavor. The honey is mixed with the fat, and a thin layer of grease condenses on the outside. You can tell at a glance that the taste is not very good.

But he seemed to have no feeling at all, chewing carefully as if the food in his mouth was a peerless delicacy, devouring it with a very delicious look.

He said in a vague voice: "I don't want to think about that kind of thing anymore.

"You really misunderstood me... Sir Victor. I don't want the lost curse that sank in the deep sea, nor do I want to become a god. I may have been a gold-level transcendent, but I... …I no longer have such a strong desire.”

Not that strong of a desire - is that all?

Annan could sense that this was indeed the truth.

In other words, these are all true. But not all the truth.

Looking at Philip eating meat, Annan vaguely captured another meaning.

Each reincarnation also requires a quarter of the desire as a cost. So, why does Prince Philip look like a glutton and a lustful person every day, eating meat and drinking wine wherever he goes, and chewing his special devil's blood toffee whenever he has nothing to do?

I'm afraid the answer is that he has long lost his true desires.

Even pleasure itself may not be his desire.

——He is forcing himself to enjoy himself.

The memories of the first life that remained in Philip's mind were like wounds that had healed.

Normally, you can no longer notice it, but occasionally there will still be a momentary phantom pain... If you take the initiative to touch it, you will notice the scar very clearly.

Annan suddenly remembered what Philip said to him when he first met Philip in his nightmare.

Whether Annan was the first life in reality or the second life in the nightmare, at that time, Philip had not been affected. In other words, what Philip said to Annan in his nightmare at that time should basically be what he said when he met Annan in Zhouma.

——I can see that you have an unfettered soul that pursues pleasure.

——If you feel depressed one day and want to break free from the chains that bind your destiny...you can come to me.

If you think about it carefully, you will realize that something is wrong.

This can be said if it is a concubine who is not valued by a certain noble, or a commoner who comes from a poor family.

But as one of the future heirs of the Kingdom of Noah, he is even a very high-ranking prince... He has lived a privileged life since he was a child, so where did he get the "chain that binds fate"?

Does he regard his mission to become a king as a chain that binds his own destiny?

——Of course it won’t be like this.

Now Annan finally understands the meaning of this sentence.

As the blood of Flamel (the wise man), it still affects Philip. Even though his wisdom had been weakened to the level of a mortal, Philip's vision and experience immediately judged the fact that Annan was "not a person of this world."

In other words, he did not judge that Annan was a time traveler.

But "at least a reborn person", that is, a reincarnation with a "first life". That's why Annan has such a mature way of dealing with things at such a young age.

——Just like he did back then.

The so-called "chains binding fate" refer to the memory of past lives. In other words, it is the conflict between the memory of the past life and the identity of this life.

"——Humans are machines driven by desires."

Annan opened his mouth and whispered: "How is a life without desires any different from a human doll?"

Hearing this, Philip's body stiffened again.

This is what Philip once said to Annan.

This is indeed his heartfelt emotion.

It was precisely because he thought that Annan "may be the same kind", and at the same time Annan looked like a child; based on this complicated mentality, he subconsciously said this sentence.

Generally speaking, the heirs of this kind of royal family...especially when the relationship between the heirs is not good, it is not so easy to say what is in their heart.

Because this may often reveal their true desires. may expose their purpose.

"You once said to me... what you are pursuing is [youth]."

Annan slowly said: "You should still remember, right?"

"...Yes."

Philip nodded in response.

He recalled: "At that time, you asked me...'If you had to choose one from youth, would you choose immortality or immortality?'"

Annan remembers that Philip's response was a standard adult response.

——I want them all.

However, the questions asked by Annan and Zhoumu Annan are not exactly the same.

Nowadays, Annan will consider other people’s ideas~IndoMTL.com~ and become more tactful when speaking, giving people room to “adapt”...or “escape”.

However, Annan was not so easy to get along with during the week.

His attitude towards most people who are of no use value is cold and indifferent - even an acquaintance like Bella can be discarded without hesitation if necessary, let alone a stranger he has never met. .

It is precisely because of this that Selicia felt such a strong sense of oppression back then.

And his question to Philip naturally did not give him any room to escape.

"I also said, 'I want them all'... This is indeed my true thought. But you pressed me further at that time, 'What if I can only choose one?'"

At this point, Philip showed a self-deprecating smile: "I must thank you.

"It was at that time that I finally vaguely realized... what I really thought deep down in my heart."

"What you want is to be 'not old'."

Annan replied softly.

This is an aberration in history.

He did not pursue the answer further at that time. Of course, there are also reasons why he is not as sharp as his other self, and there are also reasons why he does not care about Philip that much.

For Annan, Philip was not special enough, but could "be kind to others".

But even so, just based on his profile of Philip when he talked with Philip here, we can judge what kind of person Philip is.

He can only and will only choose at that time - "not growing old".

"Yes."

Philip replied: "It was at that time that I realized...

"Maybe, I actually want to die."

"——Then," Annan looked at him, "why don't you die?"
