After Annan and Nefertari arrived in the Cinder Barrens, they did not go out to explore immediately. Instead, they first found Longjing Tea and his party who were resting at their residence.
Husky and Ah Dian have been put back by Annan and others, allowing them to continue working as they should and play as they should.
Although the two girls were very interested in Annan's purpose of coming here, he didn't want to take them around for the time being.
He's not even a transcendent, so he goes straight to the world BOSS.
Aren't you just making a mess?
Although players of this level have no pressure to resurrect, and they are dead when they die... but they will still get in the way.
At least for the time being, it seems they can't help with this matter.
But Nefertari... Annan noticed that she was very friendly to the girl named A Dian, and even asked where she lived.
Maybe he wanted to send her to his teacher.
——It’s also pretty good.
So Annan asked Nefertari to go with Ah Den and the others to another residence of the players. Just when Annan was peeking at Shisanxiang and Husky from the background, he saw that there was an empty room there.
Annan felt that one of the two girls was a fool and the other an idiot - maybe they could inspire Nefertari's maternal instincts and gain some favor or something. And Shi Sanxiang was particularly good at talking, a serious social person, and even a host.
He is born well and can speak well, which creates a strong sense of contrast around Husky and Ah Dian.
If everything goes well, these three people should be able to increase Nefertari's favorability.
At that time, when all three new players have become extraordinary, Annan can send them all to the bone raising ground through Nefertari's relationship.
Apprenticing to a gold-level wizard—this is not an easy task. It will definitely require an exam.
But if it were for Nefertari's sake, maybe the threshold for entry would be lower.
From Nefertari's point of view, the old man seems to have a pretty good temper, and his greatest advantage is that he is a good teacher. Moreover, he is older and has more experience, so he should be able to understand the students' choices.
Very open.
At least there won't be a situation like Benjamin's, where he thinks a student is "not pure enough" and just gives the student away...
After all, most extraordinary people still hope that when they advance to the Silver level, after their personal talents have been sublimated, they can change their destiny and achieve a life of glory, wealth, ease and enjoyment.
There are only a few extraordinary people who have a strong desire to upgrade to the gold level.
——If you can't see clearly, the old man will be angry to death.
He definitely won't live that long.
However, now that Nefertari has gone to the other side.
Annan was finally able to recover from his identity as "Ghirandaio" and take a short break with his true body.
Before Annan advanced to Silver, he still liked to use the "Girandaio" action. At least there was no disease or disaster, and the body of a healthy and strong adult was much easier to use than the body of a fourteen-year-old child.
It's not because "Ghirlandaio" is stronger or stronger... Annan mainly feels that it's easier to walk and do things with longer arms and legs.
But after Annan got the will profession of "Victory Knight"...or in other words, after his will attribute exceeded 40 points, Annan felt that his soul had a clear sense of fit with his body.
This sense of fit is the key to fighting the curse. But it also makes Annan feel vaguely awkward when using the cursed substitute "Ghirlandaio".
Although not very obvious.
Roughly speaking...it's the feeling you get when you put on the new shoes you just bought.
The moment you just switch, you will feel a little uncomfortable. Then you will get used to it quickly, and nothing will happen if you don't think too much. But if you focus your attention again, you will feel that something is not right again.
And I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Annan always felt that the closer he got to the Cinder Barrens, the more he felt panicked. It was as if something was pulling him here...
...It's like forgetting whether you locked the door when going out or whether you turned on the valve when turning off the gas stove.
It was as if he was thinking about something but had forgotten about it. As if he would miss something important if he didn't go to the Cinder Barrens.
Annan attaches great importance to his intuition.
As I said before, his intuition has always been very accurate. And now that he has been blocked from some emotions, his intuition seems even more accurate.
especially……
After Annan returned to his original form, the strange pulling feeling in his soul suddenly disappeared.
This abnormality aroused Annan's vigilance.
——Before going to actually investigate, it is better to maintain this state and wait quietly for a few days.
Annan made up his mind.
When Longjing Tea and the others opened the door and saw Annan in his true form, they were immediately startled.
You know, the news that Annan Lindong is the heir to Grand Duke Lindong has already spread last month.
Until then, Dmitry's loss of inheritance was only a secret among the upper echelons of each country.
The patron saint of the Principality of Winter is the god of "tradition". If it were not an accident, it must be the primogeniture system - in this case, everyone will focus on Dmitri.
If Annan and Maria were walking on the street, as long as they were not followed by a few Hands of Winter, no one would notice that "this is the child of the Grand Duke of Winter." But no matter where Dmitry appeared, he would
He was immediately recognized as "His Royal Highness Dmitry".
So when Dmitry met Ghirlandaio for the first time, he was not surprised when Ghirlandaio called him by his name.
But now, with the news that Annan is about to succeed to the throne...
This attention was transferred to Annan.
Ordinary people at the bottom certainly don't care who the next generation heirs of other countries are. They may not even be able to tell who the other country is, and they may not even know what the political system of other countries is and whether there is a king.
Just like when they were in the frozen water port, they themselves didn't know what "Don Juan Geraint" looked like. The most they knew was that "he might have blue eyes" would give Annan the chance to impersonate him.
But later Annan discovered... the people of Fengshui Hong Kong didn't even know what King Noah looked like! Even more than 80% of the people of Fengshui Hong Kong didn't even know the Viscount of Roseburg from the next city!
In this era without civilian copy machines or the Internet, even if the price of paper has become relatively cheap, it is by no means an easy task to transmit a large number of "high-resolution" accurate portraits of a person.
But the extraordinary beings and ritual masters, as well as the nobles and intelligence dealers who have easier access to the upper-level information, have now received Annan's portrait.
Just like wherever Dmitri goes, there will be intelligence agents following him in real time... It's like a reality show. No matter where he goes, there will be prying eyes behind him.
In this world, it is indeed not easy to deliver accurate information quickly, but it is very simple to track a person.
If Annan's face is seen by such an information dealer or a ritual master... within a week, the portrait of "Annan Winter in the Cinder Barrens" will be sold directly to the capital of Noah.
Annan didn't care much.
But the players were more nervous than him——
The Delicious Wind Goose suddenly shushed and poked its head out the door nervously.
He opened his eyes, and his pupils were extremely sharp, filled with sword energy, and he glanced around.
——Then he lifted Annan up and ran directly into the house. He slammed the door shut instantly.
"Seal the windows!"
He immediately whispered instructions to the child behind him.
The child nodded seriously.
Several pots of vines placed next to the window suddenly grew in size, sealing the window to no light in the blink of an eye.
If a passerby saw Annan's back, they might mistakenly think that this family kidnapped a passing child; if they didn't see Annan and saw such a big battle, they might have thought that there was some underground organization here, doing secret transactions...
