Like a true all-powerful butler, Victor immediately waved his hand and summoned Annan's clothes in the void after the very brief battle.
He helped Annan put on his clothes, but Annan was still frowning and thinking.
According to Vladimir's description, the "worm" born from the corpse of the chariot driver is probably something like a personified or deified concept of "entropy increase".
...If this is true, it is indeed a great force that is irresistible.
But how did Vladimir control the worms from harming himself? When did he first come into contact with the worms?
If Annan's deduction is correct, he was already a worm believer before he defected to the Hand of Winter.
If you think in this direction.
It seems that whether it is the frostbite disaster or the werewolf chaos... it has another meaning.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this first."
While Annan was thinking, Victor made a calm voice: "Please be careful, just touch it lightly... This is the coordinates of the dream world left by Vladimir. Don't fall into a nightmare."
His left hand was behind his back, and his right hand was firmly holding the phalanx left by Vladimir.
Annan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
He reached out and touched it lightly.
A curtain of light immediately appeared in front of his eyes:
[Unpurified Nightmare Fragments Detected]
[Nightmare fragments are bound]
[Level requirements: Gold level]
[Professional requirements: Only professions promoted from Frost Whisperer/Wizard (Inability School)/Hand of Winter]
[Special needs: Have you discovered it, Your Majesty?]
...Can you leave a message directly in the special request?
So rampant...
No, that's not right.
should say……
"——This is a trap."
Annan quickly realized Vladimir’s purpose: “This was a trap he deliberately left without any cover-up... This was an outright conspiracy.
"If I can't find him, and I have a reason to find him because of something, then using this dream world coordinate and entering this twisted nightmare that he arranged in advance is the only way."
But why is Vladimir so convinced that Annan will enter this nightmare in the future?
——Destiny is a treacherous road.
Prophecy-type spells are ineffective against Annan, which means that Vladimir can only obtain such results through judgment and reasoning.
"……interesting."
Annan moved his finger away and ordered: "Put it away first. It may be useful later."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"As for the creatures from the dream world...do you think that by transforming yourself into a creature from another world, I won't be able to do anything to you?"
Annan tightened his collar, took care of his somewhat messy clothes, and took a deep breath.
...Now that things have happened, he finally understands.
Why did Father Stone go around in a big circle and use the body of "Nicholas" to resurrect this legendary alchemist?
Perhaps only Nicholas himself can create a more useful and powerful "poison dust".
——What Father Shi and the others need is powerful poisonous dust specifically targeted at "worms"! And Nicholas seems to have an idea... But before Annan left for the cold winter, he had already disappeared.
"...The next goal is to find a way to find the missing Nicholas II?"
But if Annan took the initiative to look for Nicholas II, he would not be able to find him...
"But what if...this is Vladimir's purpose?"
Annan frowned deeply.
This is entirely possible.
It seems that Vladimir Annan did not cause any damage, but instead sent a bunch of intelligence and exposed himself. He was already at a disadvantage in this confrontation.
But then he suddenly left by sneaking into the dream world, exposing his trump card as a dream creature - perhaps to induce Annan to think of "poisonous dust" and thus develop a desire to find Nicholas II!
So the whole thing immediately became clear.
——Vladimir is preventing Annan from collecting all the mirrors!
Perhaps the disappearance of Nicholas II in the first place was also related to him!
His ability to appear and disappear without warning through the dream world... just matched the sudden disappearance of Nicholas II.
"if it is like this……"
Annan turned his head and looked at Selicia, who was kneeling in the cage and weeping silently with her eyes blank, like an abandoned dog.
——It is undeniable that Vladimir overestimated Annan.
The intensity of the one-week Annan tour was obviously higher than the current Annan tour.
Although Annan looks younger, he has been in this world for at least five or six years. On the contrary, Annan has been in this world for less than a year.
He may think that Annan has really completed a round of wits with him through "Vladimir appears here".
But in fact, Annan only just realized how Vladimir finally used the method of sudden disappearance to fight back against him.
Annan first operated the system backend, and sent a wave of generous compensation rewards to each of the more than 130 players who came to support immediately - one free resurrection privilege plus three teleportation scrolls.
At least don't let people come in vain.
When gathering to form a team, due to the lack of people, the team formation was too slow, and the BOSS was directly killed by one's own NPC... This is also very reasonable, right?
——Let’s use this excuse to play tricks on the players.
Then let the Hand of Winter arrange for them to find a place to stay nearby, and take them around for a few rounds, so as not to let Vladimir kill him...
As for after that.
"Celicia."
Annan walked over, looked at the pink-purple long-haired girl who seemed to have lost her soul, and sighed in a low voice: "How should I put it...I am not surprised by your ending."
Hearing this, Selicia's body trembled suddenly.
She looked up.
The boy with long silver hair and a gentle smile on his face gradually overlapped with the image of the devil-like black-haired child in the past in her vision that was already crying.
And the voice also sounded at the same time:
"'Because your life of no value was recognized by him, you decided to dedicate your future life and all your loyalty to Vladimir...right?'"
That is the result of extreme inferiority and being deceived into foolish loyalty.
He has a loyalty that can be called faith to Vladimir, but Vladimir does not care about his life or death - this can only be achieved by Vladimir asking him to cut off his future instead of following him into the underground world.
figure it out.
From then on, Selicia became a lucky survivor, but she still tried to return to Vladimir.
——From that moment on, her tragic ending was already doomed.
"There is a saying that is quite famous where we live."
Annan thought for a while and then said directly: "That sentence is... licking a dog will lead to a good death.
"But I decided to give you another chance."
She looked at Selicia like an abandoned dog, with watery eyes and despair written on her face.
Annan said calmly: "Not as a dog, but as a human...as my hand, the extension of my will. After completely cutting off all ties with Solonik, I have you... Selicia.
"——Are you willing to be loyal to me?"
"I...I am willing..."
Selicia, who had been severely deceived by the "teacher" once, sobbed and knelt down in front of Annan who was holding a three-color scepter: "It doesn't matter whether it's a human or a dog, please need me, Your Majesty...
…”
"Ah, yes."
Annan lowered his eyes gently and replied: "I need you."
