Ordinary poets and artists may think that "In Praise of the Name of the Sky Crane" is a story about a madman torturing himself with too lofty ideals, and then becoming enlightened and sublimated from the ideals.
Ordinary ritual masters and supernatural beings may think that the long poem "In Praise of the Name of the Sky Wheel" describes only the mysterious knowledge about "sublimation rituals".
If it were in the game, it might be expressed as... after reading this book, you would gain knowledge or skills about the "Sublimation Ritual" while losing Sanity.
But Annan knew that it was actually a prophetic book.
Zhi Ji didn't even know about it.
What it describes actually does not refer to the illusory image of the "Heavenly Car", but the book of truth that is predicted to be born decades later - the "Book of the Heavenly Car".
At this moment, Professor Gray recited this passage in front of Annan. Of course what he expressed was not the original intention... but a hint to Annan that he had seen through the essence of Annan's soul.
Annan thought silently.
In addition, Professor Gray may have other ideas.
As the saying goes, "Unfortunate people will die in the furnace of misfortune"...
Does this emphasize Justus' fate?
Could it be that Professor Gray had already seen the end of Justus as an "unfortunate person"? That's why he gave "hatred" to Justus.
Is this to make this hatred become the nourishment for him when he advances to gold?
"——I will make them pay."
Justus' voice rang in Annan's ears.
……Wait a moment?
Thinking of this, Annan was suddenly shocked——
Professor Gray seems to be... encouraging Justus to seek revenge!
Deliberately creating hatred and misfortune - could Ning really be Madara Uchiha?
Am I going to dance now too?
"Mortal things..."
Professor Gray chuckled and said without comment: "Just say yes."
The old man with gray hair and gray eyes turned to look at Justus: "What do you think, Justus?
"Do you want to be my student?"
"...Well, how should I put it?"
Justus scratched his head and showed a naive smile: "I'm actually not very interested in becoming a transcendent.
"I will be satisfied if I can become a wealthy businessman and spend the rest of my life stably."
"Ah, speaking of it," Ingrid said suddenly at the side, "I remember Alison and you were childhood sweethearts, right?
"That's so lucky... Alison is a real eldest lady. She is gentle and cute. I wish I were a boy——"
The girl with long blue-black hair showed envious eyes: "Ah ah ah, so envious! I also want a rich and beautiful girl to support me..."
she called.
When Justus heard this, his expression froze slightly and he hesitated: "Ah... um."
Annan watched quietly on the side, watching with great interest.
Hey, what kind of love triangle is this?
Ingrid and Frederick seem to like each other, while Justus is loved by the eldest daughter Alison and has a crush on Ingrid...
——It’s too twisted, too twisted.
Come more, come more.
He couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart.
Ingrid didn't know if she felt the embarrassment in Justus's heart, but she just showed a somewhat worried expression: "But, Justus... Alison's father Jon is a Silver-level transcendent, or is he in control?
Lian Neng Messenger is a family of this profession.
"The foundation of Mr. Jon's strength is that he inherited the curse passed down from generation to generation in his family. Alison does not have the talent of a transcendent, so he definitely hopes that his son-in-law can inherit this curse..."
She hesitated to speak.
Ingrid didn't finish her sentence.
Generally speaking, the curse does not have to be passed on. Let alone passed on to close people such as children or students.
After all, the essence of a curse is a curse...it doesn't feel right to curse one's own heirs personally.
But Mr. Jon’s situation here is special——
If he still can't find a satisfactory heir, I'm afraid he will have to pass this curse to an outsider. That means that there will be another person who is more suitable for the status of "Jon's heir" than Alison.
In this case, it would be better if the other party behaves and keeps to itself.
But if the other party tries to seize the family property, how can Alison make it with him?
Justus disagreed with this.
Without knowing what he was thinking, he argued vehemently: "When I met Alison, I didn't know she was the eldest lady. Alison is also a frugal and quiet child, and she is not very interested in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.
.
"The Lian Neng Messenger is so dangerous, and there is also intrigue within the Chamber of Commerce... If someone wants to inherit it, let him take it."
"You can't say that, Justus."
Professor Gray came over, touched Justus' hair, and said with a smile: "You can not want it, but you can't let Alison give it up. Because it is something that belongs to her, not you."
"Then let her make the decision."
Justus habitually retorted disapprovingly.
Annan on the side narrowed his eyes slightly.
...if he remembers correctly.
According to Nefertari, Justus, the "Immortal Shield", first entered Professor Gray to study in the hope of making his childhood sweetheart, the rich lady, happy. "Because he was not worthy of the one he loved.
With her status as a person, she has no capital to make her happy."
Look at Justus' performance now.
It seems that his relationship with Alison is not as deep as the legend. It seems that they are probably on the level of ordinary friends...
If he really likes Alison, then he should put himself in her shoes.
But looking at his reaction, he looked like a young boy who kept emphasizing to Ingrid, "I don't care about Alison's family's money at all."
Suddenly, Annan remembered it.
If……
"Because I don't have a status worthy of the one I love, and I don't have the capital to make her happy." The "beloved" in this sentence does not refer to Alison, but to Ingrid.
?
Therefore, after Justus married Alison, he would continue to work outside.
——It’s not because Justus is a fool who reverses the process and the result.
It's because he doesn't like Alison at all.
He was just using Alison's connections at the Chamber of Commerce...or maybe, he was trying to plot her father's curse to gain power.
"'Only hatred can give people lasting strength'...?"
Annan murmured.
He realized something else.
"Immortal Shield" Justus is already a gold-level transcendent. Even in the underground city, he is a great figure... Although he is not as good as Professor Gray - or the Bone Healer, his status is still the same.
Definitely much higher than the wise men. Not to mention, he is a guardian and has accumulated a lot of favors.
If his purpose was to take revenge on the wise men who killed Ingrid, then he would have accomplished it long ago.
...or in other words, he has already finished it.
So, in the last dream.
Justus said: "I'll make them pay."
Who does this "they" refer to?
Are they those wise men?
...or the Principality of Winter?
Today's "Professor Wolf" Frederick...is he really still Frederick?
Annan thought of this and looked at Professor Gray.
The old man nodded slightly towards Annan.
He picked up the book in front of Annan and chuckled: "Go out for a walk, don't stay in the room reading."
The moment Professor Gray spoke.
Annan smelled the familiar smell of alcohol from his mouth——
It was the smell of alcohol on Justus in the last nightmare.
It was also the smell of alcohol left on the ax from the attack on Annan.
——The magic wine that can make dragons drunk.
It's a poison that makes your cheeks feel hot just by breathing. It's a poison that can instantly make people unconscious just by touching their skin... It's a poison so powerful that even a silver body can't resist it.
There aren't many drinks of this strength.
Even absolute ethanol is absolutely impossible to have this effect.
Annan finally remembered what this was.
This should be the [Dragon Mian Mixture] that has not yet added the "active blood of adult dragons".
It is a magic potion necessary to store...or in other words, seal the holy bones.
