Annan's first reaction was...fortunately, he found Vasily before.
The four sets of buffs that appeared on him were the powers that Annan had discussed with Vasily before and were sure to be blessed in nightmares.
Mr. Yao is the enemy of nightmares. As long as his power is used to fight nightmares, he can respond to almost any ritual.
In fact, the morning light that forcibly ends all nightmares at six o'clock every morning comes from the power of Mr. Yao. He will regularly eliminate nightmares for everyone every day, whether they are his followers or not.
Unless they are priests of other gods.
Then they may be working...that is, purifying nightmares. In order not to interfere with the purification work of the priests of other gods, only the nightmares of the priests will not be forcibly awakened at six in the morning.
Sir Silver and the old grandmother are both righteous gods that Annan is sure can lend him power. As for the mysterious lady... as long as it is a complex and grand ceremony, and all the details are correct, he will be happy to come.
The Mysterious Lady loves all those who are proficient in rituals, as a teacher loves his bright students.
Without these four buffs, the difficulty of this nightmare would have to increase...
In real history, both Annan, Dmitry, Elizabeth and Kafni all survived successfully. Even the old Merlin who followed Annan survived at least a few months later... except
In the end, a trade agreement was not reached, and there was no further war between the two countries.
And Annan remembers it very clearly.
The exact time of Master Michelangelo's death was November 30, 1498.
And now it is August 8, 1498.
In other words, this nightmare happened three months before the timeline of "Nightmare: White Tower". This means that even the attendant beside Annan was not dead... because Merlin Manning was born three months later.
Died during the White Tower Ceremony.
That's really a heck of a lot.
——In the original history, who solved this incident?
There's no way it's really nine-year-old Annan, right?
This shouldn't be the case, because I'm just a child.jpg
Annan was thinking wildly, and was led by the maid through the side hall and into the palace garden. The "right index finger" of Heart of Winter's predecessor, Merlin Manning, was like a ghost, silently hanging behind Annan,
Always protect his safety.
Under the protection of old Merlin... Under the surveillance of this possibly the best Silver-level incapacitated wizard in the world, Annan didn't even know where he was "able to move freely".
Do I still have to trick Merlin away first?
But that doesn't work either.
Because Annan remembers it very clearly...
The wife of Prince Albert, she and her cousin Denton are both believers of rotten husband. And her cousin is a powerful "dream stealer".
A gold-level soul-stealing wizard who can directly modify other people's memories, feelings, and preferences in their dreams!
He is now disguised as Silver and lurking next to Prince Albert.
If Annan leaves Merlin's sight, he might really be kidnapped suddenly...
Although Merlin is only Silver-level, he is a "Hand of Winter". After the personal blessing of the Grand Duke of Winter, his emotions and speech functions were sealed by the ritual... This may come from the talent of "Heart of Winter"
Other uses.
The Hand of Winter, whose emotions are sealed, can perfectly restrain the soul-stealing wizard. Even if the opponent is a gold-level wizard, he will never dare to appear in front of Merlin.
Thinking of this, Annan noticed another thing:
Annan at this period should have not yet reversed the Heart of Winter. In other words, he should be in a state of "not feeling positive emotions" now.
Annan needs to adjust his acting skills a little.
You have to look a little sad in front of acquaintances...at least you can't reveal your secrets.
Annan's side mission requirement is that "the identity must not be exposed".
But this is too vague... Annan is not very clear. It refers to "it cannot be discovered as a ritual that Annan destroyed" or "it cannot be exposed that this is just someone's nightmare".
But in short, as long as you are cautious, you won't make a big mistake...
What's more important is the "Great Hunting Ceremony".
Annan currently doesn't even know what this ritual is or where it is, let alone how to break it... This is the primary issue he needs to pay attention to.
And although the main mission is not mentioned.
But Annan knew in his heart that this task must be time-limited.
After all, Annan and Dmitri cannot stay here forever. They are going back to winter. But Annan currently knows nothing about this ritual, and he doesn’t even know how much time is left...
Based on the urine in the previous nightmare, Annan guessed that this ritual was on the verge of being started.
——There is not much time left for Annan!
Wait until Annan is led by the maid and passes through the side hall.
But he was shocked for a moment by the miracle in front of him——
It was a sea of extremely gorgeous white and purple flowers.
This flower is very strange - its appearance is similar to that of a rose, but its petals are almost transparent and pure white. Its branches and leaves are the color of violet... This pure ocean of white and purple is swaying and reflecting in the wind.
With the dazzling brilliance of summer noon.
In the garden, there are cobblestone paths. The paths in the garden extend in all directions, leading to three pavilions of different sizes.
"This is it, Your Highness Annan. This is the garden blessed by Sir Silver. Here your spirit will gradually improve."
The maid coaxed softly: "Please go a little further...Iced juice has been prepared for you at the pavilion. If you need anything else, please tell me. I will prepare it for you."
Annan would have paid attention to the iced juice - seeing something delicious and delicious, Annan's first reaction was to taste it first.
But his attention was drawn away by something else.
In the sea of flowers, I saw a girl wearing a black gauze dress made of the same material as Elizabeth, sitting quietly in the flower field. Her black curly hair hung down to her shoulders, and her appearance was delicate and cute.
The black high heels were taken off and placed neatly on the roadside, while she was stepping on the ground with her bare feet.
There was a small drawing board on her knees, a crayon in her hand, and she looked up at the sky, wondering what she was thinking about.
Her crimson pupils shone like glass in the summer sun.
Like a lifeless doll.
…That’s Kaifni?
Annan quickly recognized this girl who was too close to him.
A thought suddenly came to his mind:
Could it be that Annan and Kafni...were already familiar with each other at this time?
The maid noticed that Annan's steps paused, and she also followed Annan's gaze.
She was suddenly a little surprised.
Why is Your Highness Kafni here?
"who is she?"
Annan asked in a cold voice.
Noticing that Annan was actually curious, old Merlin, who was following Annan, raised his head and silently looked at the maid.
His meaning is simple: speak quickly.
The maid's smile froze slightly, and then she explained to Annan with a gentle expression: "This is His Highness Kafni...the daughter of His Highness Albert."
"Can I play with her?"
Annan asked politely.
The maid gave an embarrassed smile: "Of course, Your Highness Annan. It's just that Your Highness Kafni is... a little quiet."
Out of politeness, she swallowed the word "isolated."
Annan gently broke away from the maid's hand - obviously because the maid allowed him to break away - and then walked towards Kafni who was sitting in the flower field, looking up at the sun.
"Looking directly at the sun is bad for your eyesight."
Annan walked over and adjusted his tone a little.
Finally, with a straight face, he said something more like what a slightly more mature child would say: "It will hurt your eyes."
"Will not."
Kafni's tone was erratic and dreamy, her voice was very light and soft: "Mr. Yao has a very good temper..."
At this moment, Annan noticed the drawing board in her hand.
It seemed to be the sea of silver-purple flowers in front of me.
But it's different from what Annan saw...
Kafni used a dark red crayon.
Like blood, like fire.
Color like the setting sun——
...Could the clue be in Kafni's place?
Annan suddenly remembered that Kaifni seemed to have some kind of spiritual vision... able to see some traces of destiny.
He asked softly: "Are you painting?"
At this time, Kafni turned her attention to Annan.
She was silent for a while and asked coldly: "Who are you?
"You have the colors of winter...but now it's summer."
"My heart is like ice."
Annan read seriously - this is the motto of the Winter family, and it's not surprising that he knows it.
He stretched out his hand to Kaifuni and said friendly: "My name is Anan Rendong. My last name means winter. What about you, what is your name?"
Kafni looked at Annan who looked calm with some suspicion.
She always suspected that after she put her hand up, Annan would suddenly pull it back and slap her in the face happily...some of her brothers and sisters would play this boring game.
But she looked at Annan's outstretched hand, then looked at the smiling maid in front of the pavilion, and then looked at the frightening skinny old man staring at her from a distance, and vaguely realized something.
It didn't take long before she tentatively reached out her hand and gently placed the letter on Annan's hand with hesitation.
That was not the "warm palm" mentioned in the story, and Annan did not have a "warm smile" either. Her fingertips even touched a low temperature that was so cold that it made people shiver...
But she didn't know why, but she vaguely felt some inexplicable peace of mind.
"Kafni."
She whispered: "Kafni Noah... Kafni means running your fingers through your hair.
"...can I call you Anna?"
"It's Annan."
Annan corrected Kaifuni's pronunciation and held her hand.
