After making a date with Nefertari, Annan left the Ashwood Forest alone.
Of course, Annan could not immediately put aside all his arrangements and rush directly to the bone raising ground with Nefertari without saying anything.
That would seem to be too diligent.
That would make people feel bad.
Maybe you will feel like "Am I being plotted against?"
Even if it does not actually happen, this kind of thing only depends on the "person who had such an idea" himself. As long as he has such an idea, whether he has spoken it out or told others, the resentment and suspicion will also
It keeps growing in my heart.
…And Annan actually can’t go at all.
Because he hasn't reached the gold level yet.
Both his true body and his substitute "Girandaio" are of the Silver rank. Although Nefertari cannot determine his specific rank, Seti the Bone Healer can definitely tell.
But it's okay.
After all, Annan has the blessing of the Book of Heavenly Cars, and it is very simple to purify the nightmare.
After all the players have arrived in the underground world, Annan can explore the path through the players. If you find a nightmare that is simple and easy to fight, go there and fight it once or twice to quickly raise your level.
Fortunately, Nefertari's brother, the "Saint Thief" Alfonso, is in relatively strong physical condition.
He can survive for a while longer.
It's currently mid-February.
Nefertari told Annan that he should come to her in mid-June.
They will arrive at the bone raising ground at the end of June and undergo testing three or four days before July 1.
At that time, Vladimir, the one who goes against the winter, will also come.
On July 1st, which is Miss Good Luck's holy day, "Big Lucky Day", they will hold a ceremony to replace Alfonso's spine in batches and transplant the power of the holy bones.
From July 1st to July 7th, a total of seven days of long surgery.
This kind of surgery is completed in seven days, which is obviously much more difficult and dangerous than completing it quickly.
This is to make up for "seven".
Just as "three" is a mysterious number, the effect of the ritual can be enhanced by superimposing the number of "three" in the ritual; "seven" is a lucky number.
In rituals where the outcome is uncertain, the success rate can be effectively increased by stacking the number of "seven" in the ritual venue.
For example, there are seven ritual masters and seventy-seven participants, using a ritual array with a seven-pointed star as the main base to perform rituals, using seventy-seven kinds of ritual materials, seven kinds of small rituals, seven kinds of mantra materials, etc.
wait wait wait.
Determining the level of a ritual master often depends on how many "powerful numbers" he can incorporate into a fixed ritual. And how he can add the required spells without affecting the effectiveness of other spells and without damaging them.
Mess with the "numbering method" you planned.
Therefore, rituals that have been optimized by skilled ritual masters often have some strange and complicated details. And the effect of the ritual is often determined by these details.
According to Seti's calculations, only by extending the inheritance time to this extent... can Alfonso be "lucky" enough and have a chance to survive with the remaining power of the holy bones.
It's just a chance.
Even though Sethi was helping him survive, the spine was taken out piece by piece without anesthesia. It was a test for both him and the "successor".
If Alfonso cannot survive and dies, Annan's side will be easier. Because then there is no need to delay for seven days and the battle can be won quickly.
But if Annan cannot hold on, then Alfonso will also be buried with him... Without a soothing "pool" to gradually release his power, Alfonso will explode directly.
It's like the difference between slowly releasing the air from the balloon's mouth, or directly popping the balloon's mouth.
Therefore, the selection of qualified candidates must be rigorous enough.
There are no second chances for Alfonso.
It can only be tested one by one by those who are qualified before the ceremony begins.
Although it is possible for Annan to directly give his blood or hair to Nefertari and ask her to take it for remote testing... but that would be too dangerous.
In this world, just by knowing the other person's true name, you can try to kill him with a curse.
Just like the blood of a dragon, the blood given to the other party has its own special significance at the ritual level. This is equivalent to getting the key to the back door, and even a substitute with the same name may not be able to block it.
Although Annan's clothes can block quite a few malicious rituals.
But he doesn't want to use his own life to test the other party's ritual level...
Everyone heard it, he asked me to fight.gif
And don’t say anything else.
Just the exposure of the true identity will also disturb Annan's plan. Using a ritual to directly locate the true name is much more convenient than testing DNA.
Even Annan can use this simple ritual.
"...four months."
Annan murmured.
enough.
It took him about four months to come into this world and ascend from a mortal to a silver level.
It will not be a problem to upgrade to the gold level in another four months.
The teleportation point at Delicious Wind Goose was successfully opened not long ago.
Here at the Sporadic Mill, it will be over in another week at most.
After that, Annan will give the players a mission... asking them to disperse from the underground city to various towns to open teleportation points.
And by that time, it will almost be time to recruit new players.
March 1st.
This is the opening time for a new round of testing.
The best way to give new players something to do when they arrive is to let the old players guide them. Form a 4+N mercenary group model where the old players guide the new players, and lead them to purify the nightmare and interact with the underground city.
The diggers and the wise men battled wits and courage.
As for the main storyline for new players...
Although Annan actually came after Nicholas II.
But according to Zhiji, the more he insists, the harder it will be. Then it is better to set the initial boss to "Vladimir, the Defying Winter".
Anyway, four months later, Annan was going to have a run-in with the other party.
Solonik is still missing, and Professor Wolf should theoretically be within the scope of the Principality of Winter... But as a wizard of the idol school, he is so good at hiding that even Maria, the Daughter of the Storm, cannot listen.
to the sound of his voice.
No need to think about it.
He is definitely planning some conspiracy.
But you know this kind of thing is meaningless.
Because he is a believer in the tragedy writer, the person who benefits from the conspiracy he plots may not necessarily be himself. As long as the conspiracy is "wonderful" enough, his goal will be achieved.
It can be said to be completely chaotic and evil.
He just wants to cause trouble, but he has no idea whose side he will side with or what he will do. He can't even guess.
Annan has also asked Dmitri. There really is no clue on Winter's side, so he can only play it safe and wait for work. This is a more elegant way of saying it.
In other words, just wait for him to gank.
It's okay to just wait.
And compared to the Wolf Professor Frederick whose purpose and position is unknown, the Winter Defying Vladimir is the more important and direct enemy.
This is true whether it is for the current Annan or the Principality of Winter.
The old grandmother is about to wake up, which means chaos is coming.
Although everything seems calm at the moment... it might just be the moment of calm before the storm.
"...Let's develop for a while first."
Annan slowly closed his eyes.
Over there in the cold winter... I don’t really want to go back yet.
After summoning the players on March 1st, he will conduct a secret inspection. Because the number of players this time is huge, even if the Book of Heavenly Cars is very good at selecting people, if hundreds of people come in at once, it is inevitable that some people will be beyond control.
.
At that time, Annan will first send away all the restless players.
Then wait until mid-March and go back to the Principality of Winter... and let the Hands of Winter create a set of legal and verifiable false identities for these players.
As for the two weeks before March…
It's better to just stay nearby, clear a few nightmares in difficult levels, and level up yourself first.
Soon, these two extremely quiet weeks passed like this.
There is still one update today, and I will continue to adjust my schedule. There may be another update tomorrow, because I have to leave the house before 7 o'clock for my physical examination on Monday... so I can resume updates on Monday at the latest, and maybe there will be additional updates (do Pokémon Dream.

Also thank you to the leader of ZEROKNIGHT for the reward! Thank you very much!
I owe you more, I’d like to add two... but am I really still moving? (I’m in self-doubt)
It’s better for cats to go to bed early. It’s better to go to bed early. Life is important. Life is important...
