The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 413: Is my head here?
Text Chapter 413: Am I here?
"But the premise of all this is," Victor said, "His Royal Highness Philip is really dead."
"That's right."
Annan nodded.
And if Philip faked his death, the situation would be completely different.
Whether Philip is really dead or fake, his political career is already dead - it is impossible for the people to accept a person who has "died once" to lead them, which is even more unacceptable than accepting a puppet king.
Because they couldn't even confirm whether this person was a king or a liar.
Ordinary people will not know the existence of spells and great-level spells.
They have no idea how backward the civilization of the Yasselans was before the elves arrived on the continent of Yasselan... All they can vaguely know is that "this continent was once ruled by elves."
But they certainly don’t know that it was only after the Great Barrier was broken and the imperial capital collapsed that the five major countries came into existence.
In Noah and the United Kingdom, the version they heard was, "After the Great Barrier was broken, the elves lost the power to rule the continent. Human beings, who were used as slaves, rose up and defeated the elves under the leadership of heroes. emperor".
They used this method to explain why the elves who were once the overlords of the continent could not be seen in human gathering places, and there were almost no elven-style buildings and artworks.
The Principality of Winter and the Theocracy, because they have a closer relationship with the True God and the people are more pious, are relatively more real - just a little. They believed that because the elves committed great crimes, the twelve righteous gods joined forces to sink the capital of the elves into the sea.
The only difference is that in this mythology, the images, words and... scenes of the righteous gods believed in by the two countries are different.
This version is quite close to the truth, but it was obviously made up by someone sent by the rulers at the time.
The version on the underground side is closer to the facts on the other side - they believe that the elves developed technology that can travel across the world and moved the entire country along with the continent.
——It is because of the loss of the protection of the elves that the eternal unified barrier was broken and turned into the divided barrier that requires the burning of the power of the righteous **** to continue to exist. This could explain why the great barrier was broken.
This version is closer to the truth in a sense. When put together with the Theocracy's version, it's basically 70% of the truth.
From the perspective of the Noahites, they would accept the rule of King Noah because they were "descendants of heroes." Their status was very underground a long time ago. It was King Noah who rescued them and asked Sir Silver to restructure the Great Barrier with a big deal.
So they had freedom, land, and safe air. The king's rule over them can be considered enlightened compared to the elves' "like slaves" attitude toward them.
Because of this, Noah paid special attention to the "bloodline" of the king. That is to say, it is claimed that King Noah was the hero who rescued them and the brave man who signed a contract with Sir Silver, so he could establish the kingdom and rule them. Of course, in official terms, it is "Let Future generations will always protect this group of people."
——If you change someone who has nothing to do with King Noah, what kind of thing can he be?
So, as long as the news of Philip's assassination comes out, whether he is really dead or fake, it can only be regarded as dead.
In the Kingdom of Noah, where extraordinary beings are just legends, people cannot accept such "too fantastic things" as "resurrection from the dead." It would have been offensive even for Philip to call himself "Prince Philip the Undead."
"And he obviously still wants to succeed."
Annan analyzed: "So, even if he faked his death this time... I don't think it was his own plan."
"But if it is done involuntarily, taking away the other party's head while keeping the other party alive. This becomes a lot more difficult."
Victor also whispered: "The key is that Philip is an ordinary person, not an extraordinary person...otherwise it would be much simpler."
At this moment, Maria also got up and asked Annan what happened.
Annan told her about the accident.
Maria was indifferent to this - but a little happy.
Because she always felt that Philip's smile was too kind and even annoying to look at. It's like melted toffee... so sweet that it sticks to your teeth and makes you physically nauseous.
While he was retelling, "The Hole Opener" Jacob also came over.
"...Wait a moment, Your Majesty."
Jacob frowned and made an argument: "I must say... I think you have made that ceremony complicated."
“Are you talking about the ‘unknown skull preservation ritual’ where you can still survive even if your head is beheaded?”
Annan complained casually: "Do you know how to do this ritual?"
"I can really do it."
Jacob replied very confidently: "It's not difficult."
As soon as he said these words, everyone around him immediately focused their attention on him.
Mary reminded him: "But Philip is an ordinary person.
"As an ordinary person, his soul has not taken shape, and as long as he dies, he can never be saved. Unlike a silver-level transcendent who is as determined as he is, even if his head is cut off and his heart is penetrated, You can still survive for a while..."
"And even a Silver-level transcendent will die suddenly if his brain is severely damaged."
Annan added.
He remembered again the "Shaping Jude" whom Dove said "I got up, and I was dead in one shot." As a shaping school known for its defensive power, Jude was instantly killed by Dove without even casting a spell.
"No, not cutting it off."
Jacob quickly explained: "If you really want to cut off a mortal's head and then preserve it to make him immortal...a ritual of that level would probably only be possible by a clergyman at the level of the Pope. You can do it."
"...not to cut it off?"
"Yes, from the very beginning, His Highness Philip's head was not chopped off by anyone."
Jacob replied with great certainty: "But it was [stolen].
“This is the ritual of the ‘Snatcher’, the **** of lost things and return, a very niche ritual.”
——Stealer. Also known as the "Thousand-Hand God", he is a false god. ~IndoMTL.com~ Annan has heard of this name.
He is the protector of righteous thieves and divine thieves. At the same time, if you accidentally lose something important, you can pray to Him for its return.
A considerable number of his followers are "gold fingers", and they also control an important channel for selling stolen goods - that is, the "return house". If followers of the Stealer steal something, they will sell it or give it to the return house.
If the owner urgently needs to get his lost property back, he either needs to pay money or need a favor. The only advantage is that if it is stolen again or is really lost, the return house will find the item for free for the owner, so a customer will not be caught raking in the wool.
One item, one price.
But the reason why they are not evil gods is because they also accept some commissions from "lost objects".
For example, if something has been taken away from someone...if the Return House is willing to stand up for them, it will help them steal back what was taken away. The only and biggest restriction the "stealers" have on them is "not allowed to sell someone's things to others."
You can only take it in your own hands, or sell it to the owner, or to the "original owner". It cannot be sold to people who have nothing to do with it.
"——According to my experience, His Royal Highness Philip's head was stolen."
Jacob said with great conviction: "His head was taken away directly by magic, rather than being chopped off and then preserved.
"Of course, this means..."
"...Someone announced a mission with 'Philip's head' as the designated lost object?"
Even Annan was a little confused.
Could it be that Philip's head...can't be his own?
