The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 457: I want to be the driver of the sky chariot
Annan just shook his head silently.
"I cannot deny your doubts."
He said softly: "But your doubts are meaningless.
"Because you have no evidence, no way to verify it, and no way to change it. This is something beyond your knowledge, and all questions raised are meaningless."
This is like a farmer who has never been exposed to scientific knowledge and suddenly plans to study the origin of the universe and perpetual motion machines.
"You think that all this is doomed, which is actually conjecture that you are living in a grand nightmare. It's just that you can't detect the truth of this nightmare, let alone see through its rules, or escape from it. ."
And Vladimir, the Winter Defender, does not object to this statement.
On the contrary, he nodded, holding the cane in front of him with both hands, and said calmly: "That's right.
"I am not a wizard of the prophet school, nor do I understand the rituals in the field of destiny. What I have learned are all what others have told me. I do not fully understand, and I do not fully believe it.
"I'm like a fanatic who thinks 'reality is a nightmare'. I don't know why I'm here, or even whether the world I live in is real."
The young Winter Defender looked at Annan and said slowly: "But if this nightmare has a [protagonist].
"——Then it must be you, Annan."
"...Do you want to kill me to end this nightmare just because of this suspicion?"
Annan looked at Vladimir calmly.
He sneered and backed away slowly: "If this world is really a nightmare, and I am really the protagonist of the nightmare... Then if you kill me, you won't be able to jump out of it, you will only let the world Destruction.
"Or - if everything is destined, how can you judge that killing me is not a part of fate? Just like the old man who divined for you said..."
"——Please do not act rashly, Your Majesty."
When Annan just wanted to move.
Vladimir immediately raised his voice and interrupted him: "I have some more words, I hope you can listen to them. I don't want to use elements to attack you again... I am not sure about the remaining light in you, Can you still recover from that kind of injury?"
Hearing this, Annan understood something.
"...You attacked me in the first place just to make me stop and listen to you?"
Compared with Vladimir, he is undoubtedly the weaker side.
The only way to win is a sneak attack.
Vladimir was worried that he would suddenly attack him while he was talking... so he took action in advance and slightly injured himself.
"That's right."
The corner of Vladimir's mouth raised slightly: "I have watched you grow up, Your Majesty. Of course I want to... chat with you again."
"...ha."
Annan sneered and indeed stopped.
It is indeed not a smart move to start a war with Vladimir rashly.
——Because he really can’t beat it.
He had just finished the battle with the demon dragon Nicholas, and his transformation into a dragon was quite stressful. He has even used up his once-a-day [Brilliant Sword] and has no extra silver coins on hand.
Now, he can't even change his sword.
Whether it is using a brilliant sword, constraining "brilliance" to make a sword, or using silver coins to use the magical "sharp object"... it cannot be done.
The only means he has to make a comeback is the mental control brought by "Crazy Heart", which has been used once by the "Three Sirens".
As long as Vladimir has not entered the stage of truth, he should not be able to resist this mental control.
But that ability is not instant.
Dragon-shaped Annan can release it in the form of light in a short period of time. But if you are holding a scepter, you probably have to at least hit the opponent with the scepter or make the other person stare at the scepter for a few seconds.
Annan is waiting for his only chance.
Since Vladimir wants to chat... then chat with him more.
At worst it can delay time.
If you're lucky, you might be able to chat him to death - probably.
However, it is also possible to make the opponent angry and directly summon his fist to attack Annan...
"Your Majesty, what you just said is right. I really don't know what the world will be like after killing you. I'm even less sure whether you can really change the fate of others."
Vladimir continued: "After all, in the prophecy, I did kill you in the end - and if I was killed by you in the end, it was probably the sky wheel that changed this fate."
"So what are you struggling with?"
Annan asked calmly.
The voice of the Defying Winter gradually turned cold: "I'm not struggling. I'm just wondering...are all the misfortunes I've experienced so far because of this fate that has been sealed?"
“Have you already begun to complain about the injustice in this world?”
"No. If I am really too weak to overcome the crisis, then I really can't blame others. But due to various 'coincidences', the crisis came early when I was unable to resist, and it changed from a crisis to A tragedy.
"And this is destiny - a determined destiny. It is false to say that as long as you work hard, you can defeat destiny...it is all false. Destiny has already been determined, and even whether you choose to work hard and to what extent you work hard, it is not a matter of fact. Just a part of fate."
Vladimir looked deeply at Annan: "As we all know, destiny is a rut of a heavenly carriage. In other words, the heavenly carriage has the possibility to change the determined destiny. Even when he is weak, he can face irresistible obstacles. Crisis can always be resolved...
"——So, why am I not a crane?"
He asked from the bottom of his heart: "Why am I not the 'protagonist' of this world? Why is it that only the crane has the ability to change destiny?"
Vladimir smiled silently.
His lips were raised quietly, cracked like a crescent moon - as if he was sneering at something, but in the end no sound came out.
"I can't become a crane, but I think... I can probably control the crane. Since [fate is the rut of the crane], then as long as you control the direction of the crane, you control your destiny."
Hearing this, Annan's heart suddenly tightened.
He suddenly had a premonition.
Next, he should hear what Vladimir really wants to tell him.
"Because I desperately want to see my destiny...the worm gave me this ability."
He murmured in a low voice: "I did see it."
The jewel-like eyes shine brightly.
"Then I saw the old Viscount of Roseburg. He was not originally killed by you, but successfully completed his rebirth ceremony... But the dream stealer Denton passed the ceremony, He threw the fragment of truth that originally belonged to him on the old Viscount.
"——So he died. His destiny was indeed changed."
Vladimir said calmly: "And this plan and this method are exactly what I gave him. He is my first experimental subject.
"The original Solonik will die underground... No matter how long, Selicia is just his mask, he will always be Solonik. But after getting involved with you, he completely becomes I killed Selicia and survived - I wanted to correct this fate, but when I tried to kill her, I was interrupted.
"Solonik would not attach so many elements to 'death', and he would not try to find value in 'death'. When I realized that he had become Selicia. I gave up. In order to kill her, and left...
"——You have changed his destiny. He can no longer die as Solonik...or in other words, the former Solonik has been killed by you.
"His Royal Highness Dmitri's original destiny was destined to be miserable throughout his life. But you reversed his destiny... and rescued his daughter.
"Her Royal Highness Maria would have died when she was thirty-two years old. And her fate now has become unclear..."
He made a low voice: "Then, why not me? Why is it that their destiny is reversed~IndoMTL.com~ and not me?"
"Because you betrayed me."
Annan looked at him and replied calmly: "Because you are my enemy now."
"Why are your enemies doomed to misfortune? Does it mean that just by becoming your enemy, you will become the enemy of the world?"
Vladimir raised his head.
He was not looking at Annan, but looking up at the sky.
He asked word for word: "Why is this?"
Of course, there was no response.
But he didn't wait either.
"That's what I want. I want to be your enemy, and then defeat you - I just want to be your enemy, and then prove that you can't change my destiny... Or, I can change mine myself Destiny."
Vladimir just said to himself: "If this is the so-called destiny - if knocking down the unfortunate fate of others and then standing on it, it will be a mistake..."
He looked at Annan again.
But he was not looking at Annan, but looking at something behind Annan.
"Then I won't make the overhead crane. Mirrors and other things are not appropriate.
"I want to be—a chariot driver."
He said word for word: "I want to hold in my hands the power to rewrite the fate of others."
