The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 52: Old news from 45 years ago
Annan is still not sure what the specific use of this oath number is.
So his idea is not too strong.
But if Annan discovers that this thing is really useful... he will definitely re-use and explore this idea.
"...such a simple spell."
On the other side, Salvatore was obviously choked when he heard Annan's curse: "Aren't there any additional requirements?"
"Yes."
Annan explained: "The kitchen knife must be the one that is being used, and it needs to be the one that has been used to cut vegetables a day ago."
"That's still too simple. There's basically no possibility of your curse being exploited. It's much stronger than me."
Salvatore smacked his lips, looking envious.
Annan was slightly startled and realized something.
He tentatively asked: "Can you tell me something? Senior, how did you choose?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you directly, you can probably guess it anyway."
Salvatore sighed: "The curse I chose at that time was [must go to bed after three in the morning and get up before nine in the morning]... But I actually don't want this curse.
“When I saw its shape was that of a sleeping person, I thought that the content of this spell was to make me sleep more every day, but I didn’t expect that it was going to make me sleep less. And I am a very fond of it. Sleeping people."
He sighed again with a frown on his face: "I just feel very annoyed now. Very irritable... These days are too hard, life is boring."
"I can understand..."
Annan nodded empathetically.
His colleagues continued to work overtime and when he came home from get off work early, his colleagues probably had a similar mood when they looked at him packing his things and going home.
But Salvatore was miserable.
He is considered to be forced to work overtime...
But...
It turns out that other people cannot see the specific content of the curse under normal circumstances?
In this case, there is an explanation for why the great wizard Benjamin chose the conflicting curse.
Because he could only see the general type of the curse - that is, the bubble. Through the bubbles, he could roughly deduce what type, what field, and what the curse was related to.
But he didn't know the specific content of the curse.
Annan suddenly realized that this might become an advantage for him. Although it may not bring any benefits...but at least it can ensure that you will not be cheated.
For example, if you cannot see the content of the curse. So between an eyeball, a kitchen knife, and a person stabbed in the back, to be on the safe side Annan would most likely choose the eyeball—the one that looks the least bloody.
But that eyeball is actually the biggest problem.
The curse above may not happen anytime. Once the enemy learns about it, a scene will easily occur where "several assassins take turns guarding Annan's eye-pain curse to trigger". Or maybe when he was doing something precise, the curse suddenly triggered and interrupted it...
"Then I'm pretty lucky."
Annan chuckled and said: "Even if others find out about the content of my curse, there is nothing they can do to me.
"If they could control me so that I couldn't get a kitchen knife or touch anyone for thirty days...then in fact, they could have killed me long ago. There was no need to do anything more. ”
"Yes."
Salvatore nodded in agreement.
He thought for a while and then asked: "Speaking of which, Don Juan...have you heard of the saints?"
Annan shook his head calmly.
Don't ask, you just don't know.
Anyway, you asked me in this tone, which means that this knowledge is not common. And according to Annan's behavior, even if he really knew, he would pretend not to know.
This is Annan’s unique chatting technique: using words like yes, yes, yes, yes, so awesome, so awesome, and so on, coupled with an adoring and serious expression, it is easy for the other party to brag to the top, and you can’t bear it. Revealing something that should not have been said...
When one's own social status is higher than that of the other party, the power of this technique will be doubled. If you have a good-looking face, you can double that again.
Under Annan's constant propaganda and deception, Salvatore quickly drank all this knowledge in a daze.
As expected, this is really a valuable hidden knowledge——
In this world, there is a special kind of extraordinary person called a saint.
They are what Salvatore said before, "those truly noble extraordinary beings who have a true heart of justice and whose motivation for obtaining extraordinary power is to help others."
They will make a public oath to disclose all their curses to everyone, and let the whole world be their secret keepers and supervisors of their conduct, so as to gain the most powerful power of the oath. In this way, even if they continue to die from the most twisted nightmare, the erosion will hardly increase.
In this way, they can travel through various nightmares and purify the most terrifying and dangerous nightmares.
Oaths and curses.
Order and distortion.
This is the duality of all the extraordinary powers in this world.
So it turns out that the meaning of the attribute "Current Establishment Oath" he just obtained is actually this.
Annan's expression became slightly serious.
Then he really has to start preparing for it. Even if you don't become a saint, you must at least find a way to tie the players to yourself...
"By the way," Salvatore reminded, "remember to improve the information in the nightmare. Write down the parts you still remember."
"...I get angry when you say this."
Annan suddenly felt a toothache: "The information you gave me is wrong at all!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Salvatore was startled.
"It's really wrong."
Annan explained: "I followed the instructions above, and almost died infinitely... It was only after I realized that I had died several times that I changed my mind and purified the nightmare."
"...It turned out to be like this."
Salvatore frowned slightly.
But after thinking for a while, he added: "But I still feel that the priest has no malicious intentions..."
"I know this."
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "I will also mention this to Padre Lewis later."
He can actually see that ~IndoMTL.com~ Padre Lewis is not trying to harm himself. Because he recorded a lot of dense information on the strategy for Annan, most of which were useless details. This is obviously a memory of his hard work...
But unfortunately, Padre Lewis still couldn't do much to help Annan.
Because he is not acting. He's the real deal.
Of course, there may be another possibility...
Judging from what Salvatore said, it seems that these people’s nightmares are limited to a limited time...
This means that it is very possible that Padre Lewis has not cleared the dungeon several times at all.
He just delayed the level selection process until the end of time... and then was automatically kicked out.
Can this also be considered purification? Probably not?
So could it be said that the purified part of the nightmare was not actually done by Priest Louis?
"Speaking of which," Annan suddenly remembered something very important. He asked Salvatore seriously: "Senior, have you heard of the name Amos? He should be Frozen Water Port. A painter who lived here and became famous about a few decades ago. His full name is Amos Morrison."
"...Wait a minute, it sounds familiar. I think I saw this name in that old newspaper a few days ago... Please wait for me."
Salvatore suddenly paused when he heard the name.
He flipped through it for a while, and finally found an old newspaper from forty-five years ago—it was even handwritten, and the pages were old and yellow.
There is a line of bold characters written on the front page:
"Famous Painter Accused of Serial Murder"
The following reads:
"Recently, Mr. Amos Morrison, a famous artist and painter from Frozen Water Port, was arrested by the security guards on charges of serial murder."
