Chapter 37 The School of the Prophets really doesn't have many good things
But when Dmitri and Annan first started to implement their next plan...
Ivan Rendong discovered the two brothers who were secretly doing something.
——So Dmitri was beaten twice by Grand Duke Ivan.
The first meal was because, as the eldest son, he dared not ask his father's opinion on such a big matter; the second meal was because he failed to set an example as an elder brother and stopped his younger brother Annan from messing around - then this third meal
I'll take the beating for Annan after the second beating.
Although Dmitri didn't care about his fertility, he didn't think about having children.
But he doesn't care about this. As the first heir, the fact that he is infertile will make the principality unstable.
At that time, Maria had already decided to take the path of the Storm Daughter.
The only person who can inherit the position of Grand Duke is the young Annan.
This decision made Maria panic again. Unlike her brother Dmitri, Maria did not particularly trust the young Annan, but was very worried about him and took great care of him.
In the second year after Annan was born, their mother died in childbirth - they were supposed to be six brothers, but the sixth one died before he was born, and the remaining two died due to the power of the Heart of Winter before they were three years old.
He died before he could get his own name.
Annan is second to last.
Maria is the third.
She was taken care of by Dmitri, and Annan was taken care of by her as a child.
More like a mother than a sister.
Although she knew that Annan had outstanding talents, she did not trust the child who had grown up under her own care. Instead, she was infinitely worried. Compared with Annan and her father Ivan, she believed in Dmitry more.
My brother can become a good prince.
But because of Fufu——
Ivan's lifespan has not been successfully extended and he may actually die at any time.
——At that time, the three brothers will have to depend on each other.
Compared with ordinary people who just want to "live a good life", the three of them still have a country's people who need to be taken care of. The war has not passed long, foreign enemies are nearby, and the domestic nobles do not know whether they can
If you can suppress it, you must take care of and protect ordinary people...
Brother Dmitri, whom Maria trusted the most, also lost his inheritance rights.
The future Principality of Winter will fall into the hands of little Annan.
How could he bear it?
Maria, who was originally very calm and planned to live and die, inherited the Daughter of the Storm when she was in her forties or fifties, and made up her mind to become a powerful transcendent as soon as possible.
This is also the reason why she participated in the inheritance ceremony of Master Michelangelo.
She is an Order Wizard born in the Tower of Storms and the future Daughter of the Storm.
But the Storm Daughter is mortal...
Maria is not afraid of death, but she is worried about Annan.
Without her, can Annan really take care of himself?
She also felt that there must be a conspiracy when Michelangelo suddenly summoned eight young wizards. They were probably doing some ritual... But at that time, she could no longer care about so much.
Just like Dmitry and Annan acted privately without telling her and their father.
Perhaps it was revenge, or it seemed like a strange comparison - she didn't tell Ivan and Dmitri about going to the White Tower of the Cold Wind.
Maria has always been the kind of upright person who says whatever comes to her mind and does whatever she thinks.
Be perseverant, shoulder responsibility, and move forward silently.
Compared with girls of the same age, or the heirs of emperors and princes who grew up in conspiracies, they are more like ordinary men in winter who have a family business.
It is precisely because of Maria's calmness and integrity...
She almost died in the forbidden ritual of the Twin Towers [Superposition of Life and Death].
At that time, Maria didn't understand how this ritual took effect in the end. It was just that when they were fighting each other until there were four people left, she heard Michelangelo's message... He told them that this was the first half of a ritual.
part.
It wasn't until not long ago that they realized...this was a sublimation ceremony.
Michelangelo, the host of the forbidden ceremony, had successfully sublimated recently and became a true god.
That is, the "man in the mirror".
——So when Maria came back, Dmitri received another fat beating.
This is the unbearable weight of the eldest son...
No matter what, he was the one who got beaten.
But thanks to the beating, Dmitri remembered it very clearly. According to Maria, only four people survived the ceremony.
Except for Maria, the remaining three people are all very dangerous people... Of course, the ones who died are more dangerous.
Today’s Pope in the Mirror, Benjamin Foster;
David Gerald, a dark wizard born in the Black Tower of the Marshland;
...and the student of the Man in the Mirror, Ghirlandaio Buonaro of the Prophet School.
And this name...
...Ghirlandaio David Buonaro.
It happened to be the result of the names of the two survivors getting mixed up during this ceremony.
Although I don’t know why I added “David” in the middle of my name.
But judging from this appearance, it is undoubtedly the "Girandaio" that Maria described.
That harmless and meek prophet wizard... kept the peace until the end. Maria didn't know what he had done or what tricks he had done. He must have used prophet magic to affect his future.
Let's rewrite it.
The purpose of the prophetic school has never been just to "see the future."
What they practice is the skill of "based on the past and rewriting the future".
Dmitry once met a prophet wizard who was born in the Twin Towers.
When Dmitri asked him, "Your school of prophets can directly obtain the results of their studies through magic...so what exactly do they need to learn?", the other party asked Dmitri this
A question, or example:
"——If 'yesterday' reaches 'tomorrow', it will become two days ago. So is 'the day after tomorrow' 'today' or 'yesterday'?"
Dmitri was dumbfounded.
Although he didn't figure it out in the end, he was convinced - the wizards of the Prophet School were all very clever.
The most silent, low-key, and least noticeable prophet-shaman is definitely the "prophet" who uses the most tricks and has the highest level.
The most useful brains are constantly spinning every day, and everyone is so smart that they are scary. Everyone has a vision of the future, a prophet and wizard who can modify the future from the past... But from the outside, it looks so ordinary that people will forget it if they don't pay attention.
If you saw this, would you believe it?
Dmitry didn't believe it anyway.
His feeling at the time was, "There really aren't many good things in the prophet school."
The more low-key someone looks, the more likely he is plotting against everyone he can.
Dmitri glanced at the gentle and cheerful middle-aged man in front of him.
as expected.
From his hand, I saw a silver ring.
...Have I been plotted by these blabbering prophets again?
