"I have one thing, I want to confirm your opinion."
Annan's tone was soft.
He asked solemnly and earnestly: "You don't mind if we purify this nightmare, right?"
Although the two of them were "bakers" and "lords", Annan was his absolute leader. But as both extraordinary beings and wizards, Joseph Buckle was undoubtedly Annan's predecessor.
If Joseph is really unwilling, then Annan will try to respect his opinion... and at least leave him with some purification times.
Even if you get it so many times, you won't gain a lot of people; but for Joseph, it may be a "photo album" that he uses to remember the old days in his later years.
Although this photo album is a little cruel to him...
After hearing Annan's statement, Joseph glanced at him in surprise.
Then he smiled gently.
Annan noticed.
This was the first time Joseph showed a heartfelt smile after entering the house.
"Of course I don't mind. On the contrary, I will be very grateful to you."
Joseph just shook his head and waved his hands feebly: "I'm just a little tired...otherwise, as early as forty years ago, I would have purified it, and then sent a letter to the Silmarillion Island to lift the curse on me.
and left here.
"But now I don't know exactly what I have been busy with these years. I have seen too many life and death...either struggling in endless nightmares, or watching the suffering of others in reality.
"Now I don't want to continue. I'm really a little tired, a little confused, and a little... don't know what to do."
He said and looked at Annan.
Those dark green pupils are deep and tired.
"Lord, I no longer want to be a transcendent. If you find my carrying object, please don't return it to me.
"Of course, if you have anything to ask me or any questions about magic, just come and ask me directly. I have always been here, and I really like the life of ordinary people.
"And if you want to completely purify this nightmare... My opinion is that you must find the real cause of Amos' death. The cause of Amos' death and the whereabouts of my curse bearer are the only mysteries at present.
It’s a group.”
The cause of Amos' death...?
Annan immediately reacted to Joseph's words.
He thought of the gramophone charm of the Eye of Time.
Neither the police nor Joseph knew the effect of the spell, but Annan did.
The effect of that gramophone is that it allows the user to enter the past world and affect things that have already happened. Except that it cannot contact living creatures, it can do almost anything else.
Judging from Ailei's words, it must have been the second time he used the gramophone on the fourth floor.
If we say that when Amos used the gramophone for the third time, he used the last bullet to kill himself on the rooftop...then this wound is very reasonable.
But why on earth would he do this?
As soon as the effect of returning to the past ends, he will still die directly, and his lifespan will be completely drained by the Eye of Time Delay.
This bullet of his can probably be used to kill another person.
His actions are very unreasonable.
It's like there's a piece missing in the middle...
……etc?
An idea flashed in Annan's mind.
What if this is Amos’s purpose?
The trajectory of Amos' actions appeared in his mind:
If he wants to die on the rooftop, he must have reached the rooftop.
Then he returned to the fifth floor or a certain floor where the gramophone was stored, used the gramophone for the third time, and entered the past world.
Afterwards, he went to the basement and released Angelo.
Later, for some unknown reason, he returned to the rooftop... and shot himself from behind, killing himself shortly after arriving on the rooftop "in time backwards".
Because Amos was already dead, he couldn't leave the rooftop and go below to start the phonograph. That's why he died on the rooftop, shot in the back and killed by a single dirty blood bullet.
This can also explain who released Angelo who was sealed in wine, and why Amos was killed from behind by a dirty blood bullet.
But what are his motives?
Annan stretched out his hand and knocked on the table rhythmically.
He thought for a moment, then slowly asked Joseph: "I have a question, and now I think you should be able to tell me...
"What exactly was the advanced curse you used back then? I want to know both the taboos and its effects."
The curse obtained when advancing is stored in the carrying object.
Joseph lost his belongings, and there was no point in keeping it secret.
Joseph seemed not surprised at all that Annan raised this question.
"You are very smart, my lord."
He just said with a smile: "There is nothing to say about the curse that I advanced to the silver level. 'I can't kill people with a knife,' that's all. The effect is that when I use any blunt instrument, I can ignore 80% of its weight."
.For the path of wizard, it is quite a useless curse...
"But the curse of my bronze rank is that if someone greets me within a ten-meter radius of me, I must respond within ten seconds.
"And the effect is...within a radius of one thousand meters, if someone says my name, I can vaguely see his specific location and his general appearance."
Hearing this, Annan's eyes widened.
He realized something.
Could it be said that if you call "Skeleton Lord" in the frozen water port, you will be discovered by him, not because of the great power of the Bone Lord, nor because he is in the frozen water port.
Is it because the composition of this nightmare is related to Joseph's lost carrier?
The context of the events forty-five years ago gradually became clear in Annan's mind.
Annan nodded slowly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Bakker. You provided very important information..."
Speaking of this, Annan suddenly remembered something.
"By the way," he asked urgently, "what exactly is that two-handed hammer-shaped charm you held back then?"
Annan wanted to know its specific attributes.
In this way, whether Annan uses it himself or sells it to players, it will definitely be very useful.
Joseph shrugged.
A bright, even childish smile appeared on his face.
"Looks scary, doesn't it?"
Mr. Joseph Buckle shrugged and stood up: "Please wait a moment...I will take it out."
He said and walked into the back room.
About ten minutes later, he dug out a sledgehammer that was tightly wrapped in cotton. It was covered in dust and even had a weird smell like old clothes that hadn't been dug out in more than ten years.
Joseph handed it to Annan.
The less friendly thing is...this hammer is basically as tall as Annan.
A sledgehammer with equal eyebrows.
Annan laid it down silently.
A list of attributes appeared before his eyes:
[Obstacle-breaking right arm]
[Type: Weapons/Tools]
[Description: It can exert greater power when facing objects with "obstacle" attributes. 】
[Effect: When attacking "walls", "barricades", "shields" and other objects, you will gain a temporary +10 strength bonus; its shock-proof effect is "excellent" and will reduce the recoil force to a certain extent. 】
[Cost: It can only be held by the right hand with one hand; if held by the left hand, it will be particularly easy to break when attacking.]
The effect is very strong and the cost is very low.
A temporary strength bonus of 10 points is roughly equivalent to twice the strength of an ordinary person.
Annan's own strength attribute is 10 points. If he holds this hammer, his strength will be doubled when smashing the wall.
...what is this called?
Sledgehammer eighty?
"It's given to you."
Joseph said with a smile: "Anyway, I am just an ordinary baker now, and there is no use holding it..."
Annan was silent for a while, then stood up and obediently bowed to Joseph and thanked him.
Then he whispered: "Actually, I would rather have your collection of books..."
"What, a collection of books?"
When Joseph heard this, he nodded repeatedly and stood up again: "Yes, of course there is. I keep it. It is impossible to throw it away. Lord, wait a moment, I will get it right now."
