The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 444: The sleepless reflection

"There is only one copy of the Philosopher's Stone, and I can only go with it."

Annan said very seriously: "If you want to help, hurry up and make some good potion for me. Sir Silver can teleport me there instantly, and our time is not so tight... You can wait for me to complete the ceremony, everything When I'm ready, I'll wait until tomorrow's sunrise to kill you.

"Before that, I have to ask you to stay up late and help me prepare the logistics."

When he learned that what he could give was not enough for Sir Silver to take action himself, Annan had already made up his mind to give it a try.

He is now at the Silver level, which is different from his former Bronze level self, and he has also gained new truths.

If he were injected with the Philosopher's Stone again, he would surely be able to unleash a stronger fighting power than when he fought with Fufu that day, and he might not be able to defeat Bernardino.

Just in time... there is only one last bottle of Philosopher's Stone left.

And this was Annan's excuse for rejecting Salvatore.

Salvatore, who does not use the Philosopher's Stone, has no ability to confront Bernardino head-on.

If Annan didn't know about this, Salvatore would definitely have his eye on the bottle of Philosopher's Stone.

Although he felt sorry for his new student, he had treacherously violated his promise when he enrolled and could not give him the orthodox Black Tower inheritance... However, Salvatore went to the Black Tower in the Zeland to seek his destiny. The idea is extremely firm.

If only Salvatore knew about this, in order to prevent Annan from entering this muddy water that had nothing to do with him, Salvatore would definitely sneak over alone.

But he learned about it together with Annan.

Then this situation is different.

During the battle with Fu Fu, he realized very clearly that compared to Annan, letting himself use the Philosopher's Stone was undoubtedly a waste of things. Even if she completely hands over her body to Shadow, what she can do is probably very limited.

But Annan was able to tie with Fufu even when he was at the bronze level!

At least not lose within three minutes!

...Although Fufu is not much better than a truth-level transcendent.

And at the same time, Annan still has the protection of the righteous god.

Salvatore still doesn’t know what Sir Silver wants to use Annan for. However, for Zhengshen, if they have malicious intentions, they don't have to go around this circle... In this world, if you want to modify the mind, modify the memory, or even directly enslave the soul, it is not a complicated technology.

Then, with Sir Silver's protection, Annan will not die even if he fails.

Salvatore is not a fan of suicide.

He wanted to save the tower master and take back the senior’s soul—preferably, he wanted to take revenge on Bernardino. Instead of rushing up directly and letting Bernardino kill him.

Annan is much stronger than him and even has a safety guarantee.

Then he can only give this opportunity to Annan.

Thinking of this, Salvatore regretted it very much.

——Why did I only make three bottles of the Philosopher's Stone at that time?

If it were four bottles, I could fight alongside Annan!

"I... understand."

Salvatore nodded reluctantly.

When he first advanced to become an alchemist, he just thought that he could provide more help to Annan.

But he never expected that there would be times when he would encounter trouble and need Annan to stand up for him...

When something goes wrong in my own family, I can only stand by and watch, while my friends are working hard for me - how can this be done?

How can this be done?

At this time, Salvatore regretted his career choice again.

If he had advanced to the "Holy Fire User", the exclusive profession of the Son of the Tower, and fought side by side with the Tower Master, he could have used his soul as fuel to support and heal the Tower Master, even without using the Philosopher's Stone. It may not be impossible to fight Bernardino.

"Go back, Thrall."

Shadow's cold and hoarse voice came: "Don't waste time, go directly back to Geraint's house and borrow their best transformation room.

"Then give me your body - I will personally refine the medicine for Annan."

"...Okay."

——For the first time, Salvatore agreed to Shadow's request to borrow his body.

"If you still want to talk to Annan, tell him first."

Salvatore said in his heart and closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, he fell asleep on the spot.

As dense black runes appeared on his body, they were full of evil aura, emitting unsettling thick black smoke, directly wrapping him in it, and his eyes turned into two streaks of blood. The red crescent moon glowed faintly in the black smoke.

It seems that the name "Shadow Demon" is more suitable than Kaifuni.

"What is the need, Annan?"

"Salvatore" asked directly.

"Potions that can increase willpower, improve physical attributes or increase damage resistance, do not increase strength and agility. It is best to appropriately suppress strength and agility. These are the first two. request.

"The second is a potion that temporarily increases the perception attribute, and the third is something to increase my ability to kill spirits - I will give you my sword, and if possible, add this function to my sword. The next step is The more therapeutic medicines, the better... to what extent can these be achieved?"

"Don't underestimate me, this level of request... I can finish it for you within twelve hours, no, ten hours."

"Salvatore" sneered and said coldly: "I'm not that waste. Bring the sword... to suppress the requirements of strength and agility attributes, and put it into a potion that improves willpower. Is it okay? Do you have any other needs?"

"No more, that's it."

Annan nodded.

"Then there are two bottles of original customized potions, one is to increase willpower while slightly reducing strength and agility, and the other is to greatly improve survivability. After that, I will make a bottle of spirit resistance potion for you. , one bottle of stone skin potion, one bottle of mental fortitude potion, three bottles of Whisperer's mixture, one mind purification potion, one mind deflection ring, one part to combat spirit enchantment, one dozen powerful healing potions...this is the requirement, Right?"

"Salvatore" recounted Annan's order expressionlessly.

After hearing this, Annan became a little worried: "Why are there so many extra things? Have you finished them?"

"Oh, don't underestimate me. I am Salvatore's shadow."

"Salvatore" sneered and replied coldly: "Hurry up and do your ceremony. Before you set off, I will definitely come with something."

After saying that, she bit her thumb.

Annan has no idea how she did it.

I saw "Salvatore" turning into a black wind, whistling and flying away like a monster in Journey to the West.

At least Annan can decide, Salvatore may not be able to do this...

"They didn't look very happy."

Sir Silver said slowly.

Annan nodded and said nothing.

What will happen to the Zedi Black Tower in the end has nothing to do with him. The tower master, the senior's senior... Annan didn't even know him.

—But they were Salvatore’s relatives and friends.

If Annan did not stop Salvatore, he would definitely die. Annan understands his senior and his shadow - Salvatore is a rational and weak person who will realize that his resistance is meaningless to the enemy and will not save anyone at all.

But the shadow is different.

What the shadow does is never "what should be done", but "what it wants to do". She is Salvatore's most original desire, the embodiment of his pleasure, revenge, and rage, and the source of all his driving forces.

Salvatore's own behavior is restricted by morality, law, rules, and rationality. What he does must consider income and the opinions of others. The relationship between Shadow and Salvatore is similar to the conflict between "id" and "superego" on the personality level.

Salvatore acted with reason and will to contain the shadow... But now, his reason and will are on the verge of collapse. At this time, he will eventually act according to the shadow's ideas.

This is the essence of his curse, [Sleepless Reflection].

An ever-present mirror that reflects yourself. At the same time, it is also a self-protection mechanism based on Salvatore's even somewhat divine way of doing things.

When Salvatore encounters problems that cannot be handled and difficulties that cannot be solved, Shadow will appear to solve them, because Salvatore is a person who will not give up easily; and when he faces Even if you betray the law and morality, do something that is illogical and illogical, but you still have to do it anyway... the shadow will come out to take the blame and lead the body to complete the will.

——This is the so-called "temptation by the devil".

I'm afraid it's not just Annan.

With Pope Benjamin’s wisdom, he should have already understood the nature of Salvatore’s curse.

That’s why he taught Salvatore to strictly control himself and constantly strengthen self-discipline ~IndoMTL.com~ to do his best to resist the possibility of the "shadow" occupying the body.

This is actually to strengthen the wildness of "Shadow"... to ensure that at critical moments, Shadow can do things that Salvatore does not dare to do or is unwilling to do.

Because the shadow is his reflection in the water.

The more rational Salvatore is, the crazier the shadow becomes; the more naive Salvatore is, the darker the shadow becomes; the more Salvatore considers others... the more shadow becomes. selfishness.

The seal imposed by Pope Benjamin was precisely to protect him as a student.

Not just to protect his life safety.

It also gave him an excuse that he had to make when faced with his true choice - and a new pot tailor-made for Shadow.

This is to maintain the integrity of Salvatore's personality and to prevent him from regretting anything.

"...Pope Benjamin really likes him as a student."

Annan sighed.

Sir Yin looked at Annan, smiled gently, and shook his head silently.

He didn't say much, but simply said: "It's time to do your ritual. If it's two hours later, the ice may not melt."

"Then can you... give me a ride?"

"Why not."

Sir Silver laughed, raised his hand, and a newly created silver coin appeared between his fingers.

He threw the silver coin to Annan casually and said casually: "Then let the silver coin open the way-"

The moment he was hit by the silver coin, Annan was in a trance, as if a bridge made entirely of silver coins appeared, standing in the void.

Before he could move forward, the bridge began to flow by itself.

We arrived at the other side in the blink of an eye.

When Annan opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in the Frost Tower.

——Geraint and his son and Salvatore have not arrived home yet.
