...This statement is not quite right.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.

If you put it this way, Henry Warden, the "man against himself", appeared at Saltpeter Ranch to deal with the Bloody Hand Brothers.

The mother of the Bloody Hand Brothers was obviously a demon related to "blood". Perhaps in addition to inheriting their mother's forbidden knowledge, they also inherited part of the demon's power. It was not surprising that Henry Warden found them.

However, the actions of saints are usually not so purposeful.

Once their "selfishness" is too strong, they will easily deviate from their original path. Since their original status when they were accepted by the Holy Skeleton has changed... they will be easily abandoned by the Holy Skeleton.

And Henry Warden's behavior was obviously very purposeful.

It can even be said that his actions were a bit anxious.

It actually didn't take long for Annan to leave Noah...and during this period of time, Henry not only ran to Noah to kill the "Blood Demon", but also quickly ran to the underground world to eliminate the Bloody Hand Brothers.

It's like he's in a hurry.

Combined with the purpose of this matter - he is preventing the "blood and flesh of the sacrifice" from falling into the hands of the fallen.

Does that mean that he himself has deviated from the path of sacrifice to a considerable extent?

You know, Annan had been paid attention to by the "flesh and blood of sacrifice" when he cleared the Sporadic Mill before.

At that time, Annan thought that the "flesh and blood of the sacrifice" had no owner for the time being, and he was selecting the next saint.

But since it still has the saint it belongs to...

That means it already has the idea of ​​​​"hopping jobs".

If someone with a more "sacrificial spirit" appears than the holder, it may betray the holder at any time. At this time, it is quite dangerous to continue to use the power of the holy bones.

Once the "flesh and blood" part deviates from the holder, it basically means absolute and immediate fatal injury——

But on the other hand, Henry Worden did not hesitate to take the risk that the Holy Skeleton might abandon him, but also used the power of the Holy Skeleton to handle his "future affairs"... This in itself is a manifestation of the spirit of sacrifice, but instead

It couldn't be that he was about to be abandoned by the Holy Bones.

——This is the "paradox of sacrifice".

Then, I'm afraid there is only one answer.

"...Is he about to die?"

Annan asked: "That 'person who is against me'."

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Salvatore was obviously a little confused: "I think... probably not? If he had the idea of ​​​​dealing with the aftermath, then what he should do is to leave the big barrier quickly and enter the depths of the gray mist.

"

When saints sense that they are about to die, they will enter the depths of the gray mist. On the one hand, this is to prevent the holy bones from falling into malicious hands and being forcibly controlled; on the other hand, it is to prevent themselves from

The nightmares created when you die harm others.

Although the types and personalities of saints are all kinds of strange, they are still saints who walk for the sake of the world.

"No...it's nothing."

Seeing that Salvatore was not aware of Henry Worden's intentions, Annan did not intend to involve him in such a thing.

"By the way," Annan changed the subject, "Isn't this what you wanted to tell me in the first place? What did you originally want to say?"

"Oh oh yes!"

Salvatore's attention was easily distracted by Annan: "With the help of Hugo Tower Master, Senior Clarence has been successfully resurrected!"

"What form of resurrection?"

"Preserve the soul and memory, and turn it into the type of fetus that is reborn."

When Salvatore said this, he added: "The situation is roughly similar to that of Don Juan. However, Don Juan was born from a branch family with Geraint blood... and Clarence, as a silver-level wizard,

The soul power is very strong. The tower master has found a good 'mother' for him."

"Which family is it from?"

"Um……"

After Annan asked this question, Salvatore's expression became a little awkward.

He coughed lightly and whispered: "It's... Gerald's house. You also know who it belongs to."

"...David Gerald?"

"Yes, she is Gerald's illegitimate daughter. She was raised in an orphanage invested by Hugo Tower owner... She also had some thoughts about the tower owner, so after learning about this, she

He took the initiative to come up with this plan - to have a child with Master Hugo Tower to resurrect Senior Clarence.

"She undoubtedly has the bloodline of a soul-stealing wizard, so she can bear Clarence's soul power without harming her body; and the other half of her bloodline is the Master of Hugo Tower, so her body's abilities must be quite good."

Salvatore's expression was a little strange: "But I still think this is a little strange..."

"Maybe this is fate."

Annan concluded: "But I'd better go back and take a look when I have time."

"...You do want to come back."

Salvatore sighed deeply: "Because one of Hugo's curses is 'not to have offspring.' He made an oath of annihilation when he was a teenager, in exchange for a healthy body that would remain youthful forever.

"When Senior Clarence's new body is born, this curse will be triggered. Originally, a counter-curse would not kill him, but when Sir Hugo fought to the death with Bernardino, his soul was almost exhausted.

It's over...according to my calculations, even if he is not killed by the counter-curse on the spot, Mr. Hugo may die of soul failure within half a year."

In other words... it can also be understood that this is Hugo using his own life like a candle in the wind in exchange for the resurrection of his beloved student.

"Is there still half a year left..."

Annan murmured.

Salvatore corrected: "It was six months after the child was born."

"When will the child be born? I will go back... I also want to name the child."

"I think it's okay," Salvatore laughed after hearing this. "Having a noble person like you as the godfather can give them names. I think it might make them luckier in the future.

.

"As for the specific time - the last day Don Juan was born should be early May. The senior meeting will be a little later, because the child was just conceived. It will be about eight months, which is around the end of this year."

"After Kafni ascended the throne...then I should be fine."

Annan nodded: "I will go back to watch the ceremony. I have also prepared the gift for Don Juan."

According to winter etiquette, the godfather should give the newborn a valuable gift that has a strong connection with the godfather.

The gift Annan prepared was [Annan's sword].

This was originally the noble sword of Don Juan Geraint. It accompanied Annan for a long time and helped Annan overcome the dilemma of lacking everything when he had just recovered his memory and entered the second round.

Annan used it to use frost sword skills many times, soaking the sword with frost elements. Later, Salvatore complemented it and made it into a cursed sword, with the curse of "extreme cold cutting".

[Extreme Cold Cutting: When it causes "cutting" damage to living enemies, it can cause additional frost damage that is difficult to dispel; when it causes "cutting" damage to ghosts and spirit enemies, this damage can be

Completely converted into frost damage]

Later, after Annan used it to use the "Brilliant Sword", it officially changed from dark blue to purple.

At the same time, a new feature is added:

[Sword of Victory: This sword was once used by Annan Coldong, and the glory of victory is soaked in the sword. Its nobility and respect are better than bright gold.]

Although there is no actual blessing, it seems to be regarded as a "noble thing" because of this. It can be used in similar ceremonies instead of scepters, rings, crowns, etc.

After Annan succeeded to the throne, this thing was of little use to him.

This was originally a temporary spell created to target spiritual bodies.

What he prefers to use is his "inexhaustible" boning knife.

This sword was originally Don Juan's sword.

Giving Don Juan a new reincarnation... This can also be regarded as a kind of reincarnation of fate.

"By the way, senior," Annan suddenly thought of what he wanted to ask in the first place, "Is your magic mirror still there? It won't be burned in the black tower, right?"

"That's not true, but it originally belonged to Teacher Benjamin. Later, the teacher took it away and seemed to use it for something very important... Because the teacher's expression was so serious that it was a bit scary, so I didn't

Ask more.”

Salvatore explained.

He asked: "Do you want to use it? I think you should tell the teacher and he will lend it to you."

"Well, let's talk about it then."

Annan nodded.

In fact, compared to the purpose of the magic mirror itself... what Benjamin wants to use it for is what Annan cares about more.

"First investigate this group of assassins whose information is two versions behind, and then ask Benjamin..."

As for the Bloodhand Brothers and Captain Stone...

Annan hesitated for a moment and decided to ignore it for the time being.

He really couldn't spare any time.

——He believes in the abilities of the players.
