Chapter 155 How important it is to know a foreign language
Just looking at Him, Annan felt it became difficult to breathe.
He clearly felt that a strong sense of trembling was traveling around him, a sense of laziness was injected into his brain through his eyes, real fear was like shackles locking his limbs, and an almost real sense of despair was immersed in the air around him...
——Trembling, fear, laziness, despair.
But unfortunately...
These things happened to be useless to Annan.
Even so...Annan can make judgments based on common sense.
This is an extremely tall weirdo.
It should be the Skeleton Man that I and the players talk about every day...
If the person who appeared in front of Him was not him, but anyone else, the best outcome now would be to run away in a mess.
If your perception were sharper, you might even see Him go crazy in an instant...
It wasn't even a look.
The sight of Lord Skeleton was completely blocked by his own golden mask. Annan only roughly saw his existence in reality, and was immediately affected by multiple negative halos.
Annan suspected that if he really looked into the eyes of Lord Skeleton, even if his talent could resist negative emotions, his soul might not be able to withstand this mysterious impact.
After a very short silence, Annan bowed respectfully to Him.
"...How can I help you?"
What An Nan is most afraid of now is that Mr. Skeleton replied indifferently: "No, go to hell."
Then slap yourself to death.
But fortunately, Mr. Bones is not so ruthless...
"You seem to be the frost descendant of [Ligredo]..."
A low, old voice with a heavy echo sounded in Annan's ears: "But are you... a descendant recognized by her..."
The moment Annan heard the name [Ligredo].
He suddenly felt that his body could not move.
The freezing sound of crunching sounded in my ears.
He could clearly see that the surrounding buildings suddenly began to freeze in large areas.
Traces of frost, like ice flowers on the windows, appeared on the ground and on the walls around the alley.
"call……"
Annan slowly exhaled a breath of white air and felt that his spine began to become stiff and unable to move.
That's not heat, but cold...
He could clearly feel that his blood was suddenly stirred by that name, and there were waves of bone-gnawing chills like insects and ants.
He looked down and saw that his skin suddenly bulged high, moved a certain distance, and then sank again, leaving traces of frost. It was like countless tiny ice beetles traveling rapidly under the skin and then melting.
Although Annan's sense of pain was very dull, he could vaguely feel an uncomfortable feeling of extreme cold.
After that, a line of prompts suddenly appeared in front of Annan's eyes:
[Health: 1%]
Annan's pupils shrank slightly.
But the strange reaction in him was still intensifying.
Strong cold air oozed from his body, and the ground was frozen. Annan's skin became paler and even almost transparent. If a strong light hit him from one side at this time, it might even penetrate to the other side.
Frost crystals quickly appeared on his body... just like scales.
Yes, it's like scales.
At this moment, a low, vague and cold female voice sounded softly in Annan's ears.
"...Annan...Maria...Annan..."
She seemed to say a lot of things.
Hearing this voice, Mr. Bones stopped talking.
He just stood aside silently, looking at Annan without saying a word.
But Annan doesn’t understand that language at all…
He could barely make out two names——
Annan twice, Maria once.
Finally, the voice gradually disappeared.
And some data appeared in front of Annan again:
[Activated: Old Bloodline Road]
[The talent "Heart of Winter" is evolving——]
[After meeting the requirements of "Old Grandma" Ligredo, "Heart of Winter" (reversed) will evolve to the next stage: Winter's Abundance (reversed)]
[Winter Abundance (reversed): You will not feel any negative emotions; the damage of the "frost and cold" elements you emit will be permanently increased by 50%; you will be completely immune to all "frost and cold" below the truth level
Elemental damage]
[Acquire mysterious knowledge: the true name of "Grandma", the god of frost and tradition]
[This mysterious knowledge can be used as "divine descending ritual: calling 'grandmother'", "golden spell (incapacity school): freezing cold", "legendary material: core of frost", "high-level influence: extreme cold
"Remnant of God" use]
[This mysterious knowledge will be forgotten after being used "1" time, and you need to "listen to the voice of 'grandma'" before you can obtain it again]
--etc!
I did guess that the cold-sounding elder sister's voice seemed to come from the righteous "grandmother"...
But what does the old grandmother want?!
Annan looked confused.
That's not a problem with the dialect or the language of the Principality of Winter...that's not a human language at all!
Annan was 100% certain that human vocal cords could never produce such a weird and deep sound.
Damn, wait... something seems to be going wrong!
Although he obtained a body with the blood of winter and became the descendant of the old grandmother...but he did not obtain the language knowledge needed to talk to the old grandmother.
Then the old grandmother seemed to use this as a medium to give Annan a task at the moment when Mr. Bones read out her name.
But the problem is... Annan didn't understand at all what task she gave Annan.
This ghost system doesn’t know whether it’s because it doesn’t display the tasks in the real world, or it doesn’t understand them... In short, Annan only knows what the task rewards are, but has no idea what he wants to do.
...Forget it, he couldn't suddenly remember it anyway.
In the future, I will try to collect some ancient knowledge quickly... mainly about linguistics, but also about the old grandmother and the Principality of Winter.
I hope that the next time I call my grandma, I can urgently tutor this foreign language to the point where I can roughly understand it...
By the time Annan felt the presence of his body again from the gradually dissipating chill, three minutes had passed.
At this time, Annan's health was still 1%, which would kill him if touched.
He didn't even understand what the old grandmother said to him.
——But Annan just felt courageous.
He looked at Duke Bones again without fear, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Excuse me...is there anything else you can do?"
But Mr. Bones suddenly laughed.
Yes - Annan heard Him chuckle very clearly!
"That's fine, Frostborn. Since you have chosen this path, we will meet again..."
After Annan woke up, Mr. Bones also started talking more.
Moreover, his tone was not as cold and distant as it was at the beginning, and he could even feel that he had become friendlier: "Your name is... Annan, right? Annan Frost Whisper..."
...What is this surname that sounds like a lich?
Annan paused slightly.
He suddenly realized that Mr. Bones seemed to understand what the old grandmother said.
...No, this guy is too realistic, right?
He was definitely going to come here to cause trouble at first.
But knowing that I was the blood descendant of my grandmother, I immediately changed my mind on the spot...
An Nan was a little uncomfortable with being so decisive.
So he made some insinuations and said in a deep voice: "My name is... Annan Lingdong."
"Sooner or later it will be Shuangyu..."
Lord Skeleton just chuckled, and a low, hoarse voice with an echo sounded in Annan's heart: "If you are not afraid... when you advance to the truth, you can also try to use my ritual... If you have any problems, you can also hold a call.
My ritual...I know, you know the ritual of touching me..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand wrapped in steel and pointed at the package behind Annan: "But I took that book with me..."
As he spoke, Mr. Bones pointed at Annan's package.
Annan understood immediately - which book Mr. Bones wanted.
It must be the one that records the true name of Mr. Bones!
"I'm going to—"
Annan followed his kindness and immediately took down the package, intending to take it out to see the guests off.
"No need..."
The low voice of the Bone Man sounded.
When Annan looked up again, the Bone Man had disappeared.
And in his package, the book disappeared without knowing when - the entire box was missing.
Annan didn't even feel when the weight was reduced...
...Or maybe He had already secretly taken the book away while he was frozen?
