Chapter 400 The relationship between Annan and Salvatore
"Dreamstealer Denton is dead?"
Annan's tone was a little surprised.
But he obviously didn’t trust this frivolity: “Are you sure that the person who died was really ‘Denton’ himself? Don’t let him escape, right?
"Have professionals been dispatched to examine the corpse and traces of spellcasting?"
With the ability of a gold-level soul-stealing wizard, it should be possible to use another person as a replacement to modify the memories of all witnesses and make others think that they are dead.
But Eugene shook his head and denied this possibility.
"He is really dead. And he died very simply."
Although the enemy he planned to deal with died inexplicably... But Eugene frowned and was obviously not in a good mood: "His soul may have died in Bernardino's memory, or it may have been lost."
. Maybe he even escaped using some secret method.
"But at least his body is dead - his spine was ripped out by Bernardino. His soul has no way home at all."
From this perspective, it can indeed be considered that he is dead.
After losing his body, his only way to survive is to seek refuge with various false gods before his soul dissipates. See if any big boss can take a fancy to him and accept him as an envoy.
——But he could not survive.
Even the souls of extraordinary beings cannot parasitize into other people's bodies because their bodies and souls are simply not in harmony. Even if the soul only exists in the body, it will continue to cause harm to the body in an attempt to correct it into the shape of the soul.
But obviously, the human body cannot be pinched around like plasticine.
Unless a completely identical body can be created... or the soul can simply be put into the body of an unborn fetus, it can be used to accommodate the preserved soul that has lost its body.
For example, Don Juan Geraint.
His soul has been saved by Benjamin and sent back. But the Geraint family obviously does not have the technology and ability to rebuild his body...
Therefore, today's "Don Juan" has been re-entered into his mother's womb. And when he is born again, he will no longer be able to use the name "Don Juan".
——Annan calls this cutting off and retraining, reincarnation on the same spot.
But obviously, no one would do this for Denton.
He has offended everyone he could offend.
No one will try to find, carefully preserve his soul, or find a suitable fetus for him to resurrect him.
but……
"Spine?"
Annan asked in a low voice.
He frowned slightly, thinking of something.
For example, the Philosopher's Stone of the Hermetic School.
When he met Bernardino for the first time, when he was asked by Bernardino about the details of the "resurrection" ceremony, when he learned that his soul was about to be burned out...
At that time, Annan had speculated.
He might go get the Philosopher's Stone.
But later, as Annan gradually deepened his understanding of Nicholas II, he realized that this was unlikely. Because if Bernardino and Nicholas knew each other or could communicate, he should not risk being killed by Paper Princess
Risk to ask Annan.
As long as he gets the Philosopher's Stone, he can already maintain immortality.
Why bother with the unnecessary “resurrection”?
"Speaking of which," Annan thought of Bernardino and asked again, "Who killed Bernardino? Or did he escape?"
"He committed suicide."
Eugene simply replied: "Both Bernardino and Denton are very troublesome types. Denton can invade the consciousness of a gold-level transcendent from a distance of several hundred meters and modify the other person's memory;
And Bernardino couldn't kill him, and he didn't dare to kill him.
"So the high-level transcendent beings in the royal capital immediately started to wait and see from a safe distance after deploying rain-proof devices or abilities."
After all, the two of them are real dog-eat-dog... No one deserves mercy if they die. Rather, it would be a great good thing for everyone if they could die together.
"It's just a pity that Bernardino is definitely not dead."
Eugene sighed: "The resurrection ability of the spiritual monk is too stable. He must have soul fragments placed elsewhere."
"Can't you find the place where he was resurrected?"
"It can only be confirmed that it is in the royal capital. But the specific location cannot be found at all."
The ordinary-looking man shrugged and said helplessly: "There's no way to check.
"No one is willing to investigate the 'Pure Spiritual Medium'. After all, the curse on him is too troublesome... His own strength is not weak. If the [Soul-Leaving Demonic Eye] can hit directly, it can directly
Depriving others of their souls. Even a gold-level transcendent will die immediately."
"So even if it can be found... the result must be that it can't be found?"
Zhi Ji interjected.
Eugene spread his hands: "Yes, sir. That's it."
"What's the outcome of the accident, casualties?"
Annan asked with concern: "There must be many extraordinary people who have died, right? How do you plan to deal with the nightmares that arise?"
He seemed a little surprised that Annan would pay attention to this issue.
"Wait a moment, Your Highness."
Although it was a bit troublesome to query the data, the corners of Eugene's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sincere smile.
Annan caught this chuckle keenly.
...This guy is really a good person.
It's a pity that I was born in this kind of family and still have to work in this kind of industry...
Eugene carefully rummaged through the documents on the table, looked at several stacks of documents for a long time, and wrote and made calculations on the paper for a long time before he turned back to Annan and replied cautiously: "For now,
, the casualties may be more than 700 people.”
"so much?"
Annan was suddenly shocked.
"This is calculated based on the minimum situation. Because there are still some people who have directly 'disappeared'. Even their bodies have completely disappeared. Transcendents are much easier to locate - just through the increase in the amount of curses in the air,
Adding the corpses that have been found, we can calculate the exact death data, which is eleven people at the bronze level and fifty-one people at the silver level."
"...Why is there so much more silver than bronze?"
Annan asked doubtfully.
Eugene just read the document and explained slowly: "It is said that it is because of the 'soul-leaving evil eye'. Bernardino released his own evil eye once and killed everyone within a forty-degree field of vision in front of him, including
Including a silver wizard phalanx. Among those 'dead people with corpses', this single blow alone accounted for more than 60%.
"As for nightmares...the number of nightmares currently generated is zero."
"What?"
Annan was stunned.
"Because there is no extraordinary soul, Your Highness Annan."
Eugene sighed: "Bernardino captured all the souls of extraordinary beings... It has begun to become foggy outside. But without souls as anchors, no nightmare would be born.
"It's definitely not going to work like this. There are already examples of female officials and guards in the palace falling ill. Even if His Majesty's room is emergency sealed, if the curse really spreads, His Majesty's body may not be able to withstand it."
"What should we do?"
As soon as Annan asked, he paused slightly.
He nodded suddenly and suddenly understood something: "Do you already have a plan? Tell me about it?"
Eugene nodded slowly and asked seriously: "Do you remember...Don Juan?"
Hearing the name of the person he was impersonating, his second brother said it.
Annan didn't show any surprise.
He understood what Eugene meant.
Since there is only a curse and no nightmare...then create a nightmare.
This is what Benjamin once did.
"...You want to call Master Benjamin back?"
"No, no, no. His Highness Benjamin has a distinguished status..."
Eugene looked bitter and shook his head repeatedly.
He explained: "But he left behind the technology. It only requires a silver-level transformation wizard to complete it. However, considering that the person responsible for generating nightmares may tamper with the nightmares, it must be done by someone who can rest assured
People do it.
"Your Highness...is there anyone you can trust?"
Hearing such a cautious inquiry, Annan chuckled.
In the royal capital... we can't find a silver-level transformation wizard?
It's possible. But the greater possibility is that it was Eugene...or rather, it was a test by the Geraint family.
Although Eugene is a good man, he is really used to the roundabout way of talking.
What he was actually asking Annan was, "How is your relationship with the Sons of the Black Tower?"
Are they superficial brothers? Or real brothers?
Of course there is only one answer.
"Okay, leave this to me."
Annan responded calmly: "I will write to ask about my 'reliable friend'."
