Will Dmitry and Maria come back together tomorrow?
Hearing the news, Annan was also a little surprised.
After all, the two of them are not on the same road at all. And with Maria's character, she will probably come back as soon as she completes her duties as the Daughter of the Storm.
Being able to transform into a storm, she could fly back to Frostwhisper from the Tower of Storms in just a few breaths.
She also had to go to Dmitri's side and come back with him. This was obviously taking care of Dmitri's feet and body. She actually carried Dmitri directly, and it was like "a black wind blowing"
Like "Tang Monk", Dmitri was directly trapped in the storm and returned quickly.
...But considering that Dmitri was not a supernatural being after all, his body could not withstand this level of torture. Maria probably had to hold back.
Now that Annan has just succeeded to the throne of the Duke of Winter, the brother and sister got together to rehearse in advance so as not to undermine each other when they meet Annan... This is also very understandable.
But before they come back, Annan can handle some other things.
For example, Saint Alfonso had just arrived in Frostwhisper Province.
Because Alfonso’s purpose was unknown, Annan asked Selicia to hide upstairs first, so as not to start a fight when the two met. Although Annan heard from Celicia that she and Alfonso had no grudge,
Just in case.
However, most of this vigilance had dissipated when he saw Alfonso, who was scornfully called the "Saint Thief".
...The reason is also very simple.
This man-made saint who holds the Holy Bones of [Courage] is also the "Fearless Saint" of this generation, Saint Alfonso. As soon as he saw Annan, he bowed to him very politely.
"I came to visit you unexpectedly without informing you in advance... It's really rude."
Alfonso's voice was unexpectedly young, as clear as a boy's voice that had not yet changed.
He has dark red hair that reminds people of rose petals, and beautiful red eyes that shine like fire.
Facing the cold gazes of the Hands of Winter, Alfonso had a helpless smile on his face.
As soon as they met, he spread his hands and raised them over his shoulders as if surrendering: "I don't have any hostility, Your Majesty. Otherwise, I don't think these wizards would have brought me here.
"From the time I revealed my identity to them until I got here, I have not shielded or protected my thoughts in any way... Although the soul-stealing wizard is not of a high rank, he must have seen it long ago.
Clear."
Hearing this, Annan looked at Shisanxiang calmly.
Shisanxiang nodded slightly with a serious expression, indicating that Alfonso was right.
...what a ghost.
Along the way, Shi Sanxiang never thought of using the soul-stealing magic to peek into Alfonso's thoughts.
On the one hand, it is because he is currently only Bronze and his level is too low. He is afraid of being discovered by this saint, so the green NPC directly turns to red; on the other hand, it is also because he has not been in this world for a long time and has not gotten used to various aspects.
The use of spells.
When encountering a sudden attack from the enemy, Si Anke was able to immediately shout out "Get away!" instead of running away or freezing in place. This is proof that he already has combat experience and knowledge of magic.
.
Among these new batch of recruited players, Huskies are the ones who have adapted the fastest to a different world...
This may be the instinct of spinal players.
"Anyway, please take a seat, Your Excellency Alfonso."
Annan nodded, clenched the scepter in his hand, and leaned forward: "You came to see me specially... What is the specific matter?"
"Ah, it's not a big deal."
Alfonso carelessly picked up the milk tea that Zoya poured for him, drank it all without hesitation, and poured himself another cup, obviously feeling a little thirsty.
"The main thing is that there are several things piled together. And if I write these things into a letter and send it, maybe the meaning I want to express will undergo some changes that I don't want to see..."
"I see."
Annan nodded: "The carrier of information will undoubtedly affect the expression of the information itself. It is even possible to change the content of the information."
"It would be great if you could understand, Your Majesty."
Alfonso smiled happily.
He then took out a box and placed it on the table.
"I heard my lovely sister mentioned that you are also one of the candidates who can inherit the [Fearless Bone]. Especially since your bloodline is superior and your talents are outstanding, the possibility of containing the holy bones will be much higher. Or
Said...it should have been like this."
"original?"
"Yes, Your Majesty... We have indeed discussed with you before that we will go to the bone raising ground for testing at the end of June. But at that time... we were not very clear about your identity. Now that you have succeeded to the Principality of Winter, we
Only then did I finally know, 'It turns out that Ghirlandaio is the Duke of Winter.'
"...But Your Majesty, the ritual of inheriting the holy bones is not absolutely safe. It was fine if we didn't know at first, but now we know that this is your fake body. We never dare to let the Duke of Winter risk his life.
Participate in the ceremony…”
As he spoke, he respectfully pushed the small box on the table in front of Annan: "This is an apology to you. Just pretend you haven't heard of the previous agreement... Naifei made this agreement with you without authorization before.
She didn’t know your identity at the time, so please forgive her.”
Annan reached out and opened the box.
Inside is a row of seven test tubes, which is the extract of [Fearless Bone]. It is a dark red colloid with white floc inside that can be seen with the naked eye, shining like ruby on its own.
"Let me ask you a little question."
Annan asked: "If I don't go...will someone go then?"
"...I'm afraid only those who go against the winter will go."
Saint Alfonso hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "The news that Ms. Selicia abandoned the treasure ship 'Silver' and returned to the Principality of Winter with you has spread in the underground world... She is no longer
The gold level must no longer be able to accept the [Fearless Bone]."
"Does that mean that if Vladimir the Winter Reverse can survive the ritual... he will become the new Fearless Saint?"
"Is such that."
"Very good, I understand..."
Annan pointedly said: "I don't blame you for this matter... Nefertari is also my friend, and she would bring this matter up with me for my own good and for your own good.
"My original goal was to find the [Heart of Justice], not the [Fearless Bone]. Since I am no longer needed now, I will naturally go back and look for the Heart of Justice."
"I will bring your reply to you truthfully."
Saint Alfonso nodded seriously.
The next moment, his temperament suddenly changed.
It was like a fire in his eyes suddenly ignited, and his whole body was suddenly filled with a strong aura that was indomitable.
"The next step is a private matter... I have a personal question, and I would like your Majesty to answer it."
"what is the problem?"
"My sister Nefertari's boyfriend, a man named Niousel."
Alfonso looked at Annan without fear and asked word for word: "Is he the person you sent to her?"
Annan was silent for a moment.
He brought the scepter in front of him and held it with both hands.
He gave a very positive reply: "Neousel is indeed one of ours, but we have not activated him yet... If you wish, we can never activate him again.
"I mean if [you] wish, it has nothing to do with your teacher."
"...I am so virtuous and capable."
The aura of indomitableness in Alfonso's body suddenly dissipated.
He smiled helplessly and shrank back into the sofa: "Although I have the holy bones, I am just a thief who stole the power of the saint. The meaning of my existence is to prove that the power of the saint is
It can be stolen...I am just a product display stand, a model."
"I know."
Annan said slowly: "I knew from the beginning... [Fearless Bone] was sold to Vladimir a long time ago, right?"
"..."
Alfonso was silent and frowned slightly.
"Nefertali didn't say it, and she probably didn't think of it. This has nothing to do with IQ, but intelligence. Because she didn't know that Vladimir has a treasure that can buy the 'Holy Skeleton'... and I
Know."
Annan said slowly.
Purchase the activated "Fearless Bone" from Bone Healer Seti, directly become a saint, and gain enough power to fight against the gods... This is probably one of Vladimir's plans.
And what he used to exchange for the holy bones, something of equal or even higher value, is already on the horizon.
It was the blood of the world that he squeezed out by using the power of worms to destroy the world!
With Alfonso's arrival as the final piece of the puzzle.
Annan gradually restored the truth of Vladimir's plan.
