The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 405: Silver Siren in the Garden
Although I don’t know what Kaifuni wants to do...
But considering that he might not be able to come back immediately, Annan gave Eugene a few more instructions before setting off.
"Remember to take care of these corpses for me."
Eugene asked thoughtfully: "Can I just put it in the cold storage?"
"Yes."
Annan smiled and nodded.
Although Bernardino's attack did cause a lot of trouble. It even directly disrupted the original arrangement between Yinjue Church and Annan...
But on Annan's side, there were some unexpected gains.
When the One-Eyed Crow investigated the bodies of the extraordinary people who died unexpectedly in the shooting, they naturally found quite a number of extraordinary people whose identities were mysterious.
For those whose identities are relatively innocent and whose traces are traceable, the crows have notified their families to pick up their bodies.
Even if there are some extraordinary people whose families are not in the royal capital, the "One-Eyed Crow" has already sent the letters.
——After this, there were still more than forty corpses left. They were all stored in the icehouse of Geraint's house, and they were prepared to verify their identity in the future and then invite a ritualist to perform the next ceremony.
There are some rituals that can lock some information through corpses.
For example, the "Forgotten Eye" can trace a certain memory of the deceased during his lifetime, or the "Sniffing Resentment" can track the location of the murderer.
The body may also be used in special rituals. For example, turning a corpse into a sprouting tree man, or using the back and ribs to hatch a bird of bones, or turning the head of the deceased into a magic eye for peeping...
Corpse is a highly sought-after non-cursive material. The corpse of an extraordinary person is much more valuable.
It is not because of large consumption, but because of low output.
There are too few corpses that can be purchased legally.
But not all extraordinary beings or ritual masters dare to kill people at will.
And Annan asked Eugene to help him leave twelve corpses because he still had a ritual yet to be performed.
That is, the ritual spell [Winter Breath] that he has not yet activated.
Annan can easily find the influence of the frost domain required for this ritual; and Kafni can also make the "light-sealed ice cube" spell.
Annan was also able to successfully complete the ritual environment where "the outdoor temperature can cause water to freeze naturally" - he was able to do this forcibly with the silver-level spell [Tower of Frost] he had just obtained.
The only conditions necessary for the ceremony are "twelve intact corpses that have completely lost their temperature".
Under normal circumstances, this condition is still very harsh.
"Complete corpses" are rarer than regular corpses.
If nothing else, the ceremony cannot be fooled.
A "complete corpse" in mystical rituals refers to a corpse that has not lost any parts - whether it is fingers, eyeballs, ears, skin, or internal organs, brain, and bones, all must remain intact.
There can be wounds, so the death can be bled. Blunt trauma with appropriate force (referring to intracranial hemorrhage) is also possible, but not if the brain is shattered; frostbite is also possible - but the skin cannot be torn by more than half a slap; or death from poisoning, and then Or being scared to death in ordinary people's nightmares...
In addition, it is really difficult to ensure that the body is intact... let alone a black market. Unless it was murdered, it is basically unlikely that such a dead body would be dragged out and sold.
Annan didn't have any special methods.
His plan was to go back to the cold winter and look through the snowfields to see if there were any frozen corpses, and then pick them up.
...The result was unexpected.
Bernardino directly sent a powerful skill to Annan.
As long as Kafni makes the ice cube, Annan can use "Thoughts Like Rain" to create heavy rain weather, use "Frost Tower" to create a ritual environment, and directly complete the ritual spell.
It almost happened in the past two days.
The supernatural ability called [Winter Cold Breath] allows Annan to naturally breathe out extremely cold frost air - basically it can also be called dragon's breath.
...I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Annan always felt like he was gradually turning into a young dragon.
"Please come this way, Your Highness Annan."
Kafni skillfully guided Annan back from the backyard of the Geraint family. For the safety of the two of them, Zhi Ji still followed them.
For some reason, Zhi Ji has been very silent since Kaifuni appeared.
She had been looking at Kafni carefully, frowning slightly. But she didn't chat with Kaifuni...and Kaifuni, apart from the necessary and polite greetings, didn't say a single word to Zhiji, or even looked at Zhiji.
In this regard, Zhi Ji did not get angry...
"Soon after, Annan saw the huge fountain that looked like an artificial lake."
This was the fountain made entirely of silver metal that he first saw when he got off the carriage.
"I thought Sir Silver would hate this act of casting 'silver' into something uncirculated."
Annan complained.
But what surprised Annan was——
He heard a somewhat familiar cheerful voice~IndoMTL.com~ coming from beside the three of them: "It's actually not that annoying...
"It is better to say that when there are too many silver coins in circulation on the market, some silverware must be recycled and minted to keep its value basically unchanged."
The person speaking behind the three people was a young man with a slender face and curly hair parted in the middle, who looked to be less than thirty years old. He wears a monocle and a bright, sunny smile.
Wearing a white windbreaker and holding a top hat in his left hand, he greeted the three of them with a smile.
"... Salute Silver Coin, Sir Silver."
"Lord Yinjue."
Annan and Kafni immediately turned around and bowed their heads in salute to the Silver Knight. When the silver-armored guards around the fountain saw the Silver Knight appearing, they also half-knelt down in silence.
Zhi Ji had already set her sights on Sir Silver before he spoke.
She also nodded, raising the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a beautiful smile: "Salute to the silver coin, Yin Jue."
"You are also beautiful today, Paper Princess."
Sir Yin also smiled and nodded gently to Zhi Ji in response.
"Why are you here?"
Annan asked curiously.
It was Kafni who answered him: "Sir Yinjue, you usually study here. This fountain is made of holy silver that was personally blessed by Yinjue... not ordinary pure silver."
"I transformed it into holy silver, not that I made someone cast a fountain out of holy silver."
After Sir Silver explained, he turned to ask: "Where are you planning to go? To meet little Henry?"
"Yes."
Kafni nodded slightly.
"I want to ask His Majesty face to face... how far should I go before I can inherit the throne."
She said seriously: "And how does His Majesty view His Royal Highness Annan.
"This will determine my next course of action."
