Annan realized that he might have underestimated the power of the "Book of Heavenly Cars".
It is more or less a fragment of the Book of Truth. Just by existing there, it should have some kind of passive effect.
I think back then, when Marquis Iris had not yet become a god, he could almost defeat all the invincible opponents in the world with his Book of Truth.
Of course, the power of the Book of Heavenly Cars is not as violent as that of Marquis Iris's Book of Truth.
The essence of "Crane" may be related to "destiny".
It is even higher than the concept of "fate".
When Annan first changed back to his own body, he felt a sense of relaxation.
The "Ghirandaio" form can indeed deflect the spells of the idol school below the gold level; but as a silver-level idol wizard, it cannot resist the fateful nature of idol wizards attracting each other and influencing each other. This shows that this nature
, is not included in the "golden level" level.
But after Annan switched back to his true body, the feeling of being bound by something immediately disappeared.
At first, Annan thought this was because his body did not have the level of an idol wizard, so he would not be affected by this sense of destiny.
But it wasn't until the morning after Annan met Pope Benjamin and got the "key" from him.
When he was about to restore the "Ghirlandaio" vest and use it to meet Nefertari... Annan suddenly realized that he was no longer aware of the feeling of being pulled by fate, as if he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Suddenly it disappeared without a trace.
It should have been completely erased by the Book of Heavenly Carriage.
Annan didn't even do anything.
He just changed back to his own body, and these threads of fate broke naturally without warning, just like being roasted by candlelight.
——The weak power of "destiny" cannot even get close to the holder of the Book of Heavenly Chariot.
This "destiny" should have been formed when Nefertari met "Ghirlandaio" and the wolf girl "Doreen" for the first time. After all, the form of "Ghirlandaio"
, which is the curse given by the man in the mirror.
The real "Girandaio" is itself a living stone statue made by the man in the mirror. In the timeline of the real world, it should still be in the White Tower of the Cold Wind.
It is only natural that the man in the mirror can interfere with this incarnation of Annan.
——And this destiny really emerged when "Benjamin also went to the same place." It was precisely because this condition was met that Annan realized the connection between these three idol wizards.
"The Idol School is really troublesome..."
Annan sighed.
You must sort out your own destiny and determine the starting point and end point of each cause and effect. You must even remember every "ancestral temple" and regularly maintain the cornerstone of your power. You must also be careful not to get entangled with the fate of other idol wizards...
This is a really troublesome profession.
Fortunately, Annan himself is not an idol wizard.
Hearing this, Nefertari just smiled and didn't know what to say.
——Aren’t you an idol wizard yourself?
She just changed the subject: "You just said... you have found the 'key'?"
Annan denied: "I didn't find it, but someone else sent it."
"……Sent?"
Nefertari frowned slightly, confused: "Who is it?"
Annan nodded: "The Pope of the Man in the Mirror, His Highness Benjamin. Do you know this name?"
"Ah, this..."
Nefertari was startled when he heard this name.
Her extremely smart brain quickly thought of the truth behind the matter.
"...I'm sorry, sir."
Without warning, Nefertari saluted Annan seriously and apologized in a low voice: "But I really don't know..."
This seems like an apology without any reason.
Annan just nodded silently and accepted her apology calmly.
——This was not originally what Nefertari wanted to do.
If the word "use" is to be used, it should be about her teacher "Bone Healer" Seti.
And strictly speaking, this cannot be considered "use".
...if I have to describe it.
It was like three people had a quarrel and then called the police to settle the matter.
The only difference is that Annan did not give them the obligation to resolve the case.
"But I'm still curious about this matter...so no problem."
Annan said this.
exactly.
He is somewhat interested in "Professor Wolf".
Frederick can be regarded as a sinner of winter. Trying to control the Hand of Winter is a capital crime in itself. And according to Annan's intuition, he may also have connections with Vladimir, the one who rebels against winter.
If we can start from this point, we might be able to figure out what happened back then and what their situation is like now.
as well as……
How to kill them smoothly - this kind of secret.
If we talk about utilization, it is also mutual utilization.
The Man in the Mirror wants Annan to cut off Professor Wolf's ritual to steal his "mirror image" power;
The Bone Healer most likely hopes that Annan can avenge his student.
They may have known for a long time that the "Book of Heavenly Wheels" can cut off the characteristics of destiny, and used this to attack their common enemy, Professor Wolf.
And Annan himself also wanted to attack Professor Wolf. So they can also be regarded as enemies of the enemy - that is, temporary comrades-in-arms.
...then here comes the problem.
Professor Wolf, why did he send Doreen to Annan?
Doreen found "Ghirlandaio", who was also directly assigned by Professor Wolf.
——What is he hoping for?
Could it be that he thought Annan would not kill him?
There's no way he thinks Doreen can really kill him, right? No way, right?
Or……
"Has his goal actually been achieved..."
Annan frowned slightly.
He felt a little headache.
——These idol wizards are all old Yinbi.
That's right, people have something to ask for, and when they ask for something, they do something. Whatever has been done, there must be traces.
But what these idol wizards want is too abstract...
Pope Benjamin left the key and left.
He clearly wanted Annan to take action against Professor Wolf, but he did not tell Annan any other information about "Professor Wolf".
It's not so much that he doesn't want to, or doesn't want to...
Annan had a vague feeling - maybe he could only do this.
I'm afraid Professor Wolf has some kind of curse that will be triggered whenever "someone learns his information" or "is told his secrets".
——Ningya Yoshikage Kira?
Moreover, Annan was also surprised by the key to this nightmare.
This made him more certain that he would come here - it must be based on the pull of "fate".
"I came to you because this key... cannot be entered by one person. The current information is seriously insufficient and it is impossible to carry out the next step of reasoning."
Annan said seriously to Nefertari: "I need your help, Nefertari."
"You don't have to be so polite, sir. I originally came here to find out the truth... You are obviously the guest. You have nothing to do with any party. I am very embarrassed to involve you here."
Nefertari also responded seriously: "So... what is the key? We might as well set off immediately."
...No, it actually has something to do with me.
Because I am Annan Winter. Professor Wolf and I have a direct grudge...
Annan muttered in his heart.
But he didn't say this out loud.
Because soon, Nefertari will know.
He just replied: "The name of this nightmare is [Phantom Heat].
"The key to entering this nightmare is... a silver-level idol wizard, and a non-wizard professional who is not familiar with himself, [exchanging three important secrets that the other party does not know in the Cinder Barrens]"
].
"The key point is that these three secrets must be directly related to oneself, cannot have 'weight', cannot refer to the same thing, cannot be a curse... and must be able to endanger one's own safety."
...It is indeed a very strange request.
It can even be said to be harsh.
However, the strange thing is that Annan can meet all conditions.
He was indeed unfamiliar with Nefertari... Counting this time, they had only met three times in total. Nefertari was indeed not a wizard, although she was supposed to be a wizard.
When Annan was "Girandaio", he could also be regarded as a silver-level idol wizard.
——From this point of view.
Annan had some doubts. Michelangelo gave himself this curse in the first place...perhaps just for this day.
And these three secrets are very particular.
If you don't want to silence the other party afterwards... you can only tell three insignificant secrets. But they must be important enough - this is a paradox.
But it's not entirely unavoidable.
As long as you say "the other party will know the secret sooner or later" or "it would be better to let the other party know this", you can minimize the loss of this information...
"I'll go first."
While Nefertari frowned in thought, Annan spoke warmly: "Let me demonstrate...
“[I can gain strength by killing enemies].
"[Members of the Hidden Eye can be resurrected an unlimited number of times].
