"...So just like that, I inherited the position of Grand Duke and basically sorted out the mess in Winter.
"But in general...that's [roughly] this level. There are still a lot of troublesome people and troublesome things, and I can't get out of them for a while.
"But the jar of Azoth I got from Jacob, the hole-opener, is indeed a good thing. I remember that this all-purpose solvent is a must-have in some of the high-end formulas in your transformation sect.
Required level of precious materials.
"Of course, this is not robbery, and I have given Jacob a fair price. For a ritualist like him, who is used to living a frugal life, Azote, who has an overwhelming effect, is just
It's just money to buy life at the bottom of the box. Even if it is broken, he will not use it unless it is really necessary.
"I was able to successfully launch a surprise attack before, thanks to the powerful group teleportation ritual he initiated with Azote. As for the result, it has nothing to do with Jacob... He has done the best he can. It's just a pity
Unfortunately, more than half of this jar of Azote was wasted... I hope the remaining part can still be regarded as a gift.
"I bought all the remaining Azote and stored it in a closed, low-temperature environment. Either you come over and tell me in advance before you come, and I will send someone to receive you. After all, this may be your last trip in this life.
Go abroad; or wait until the king-selection ceremony in Kafni is over. I just happen to drop by Noah so that I can give it to you.
"When you wake up, write me a reply. Arrange the ceremony venue and send me your special sign. Remember to ask my senior sister for her opinion when you reply."
Annan wrote this in the letter.
After he finished writing, he placed the letter into the ceremonial flame that had already been lit.
"[The end of light is a deep well without sanity]."
Annan casually recited a piece of mysterious knowledge in Mr. Yao's field. As for the special letter paper that was still unburned in the firelight, it suddenly began to burn violently, suspended in the fire, blooming with golden flames... and decomposed into golden light spots on its own.
, dissipated in the fire.
Because it's half past one in the morning.
By this time, Salvatore should have been asleep.
The senior's sleep time was very precious, there were only six hours a day, and Annan didn't want to wake him up... So he didn't use the ritual of the man in the mirror to initiate a "video call" to Salvatore, but used another method.
A relatively old method, sending the letter directly to Salvatore.
Of course, Annan didn't know the specific location of Salvatore, nor did he know if there was a ceremonial ground for receiving ceremonial letters in Salvatore... but there must be one at the owner of Hugo Tower.
Moreover, Annan knew Hugo's name and appearance, so he could send the letter directly to the owner of Hugo's tower.
Generally speaking, the owner of Hugo Tower will be in the Black Tower of the Swamp to provide energy for the Wizard Tower... so the letter will be received by Salvatore, the son of the tower.
Through this roundabout method, Annan was able to send letters to Salvatore across borders. Many rituals were not transnational.
The Great Barrier seems to have blocked the "signals" of these rituals. Only high-level rituals can penetrate the Great Barrier... such as the message delivery rituals used by spy ritual masters.
The reason why the ritual of the Man in the Mirror can easily cross borders is because He itself has taken advantage of a big loophole, just like His divine name, "The Man in the Mirror." The Man in the Mirror itself can be regarded as some kind of symbol of the Man in the Mirror...
…thus projecting one's own influence as the person in the mirror, appearing to the other person on the other side of the mirror.
This is equivalent to using the divine essence of the person in the mirror to connect point A and point B respectively as the center for information exchange. Instead of directly letting point A and point B penetrate the two layers of barriers and forcibly connect.
In other words, the person in the mirror is a base station.
...It can only be said that it is not easy to start a business.
In fact, the principle of the ritual "Reflecting the Friend's Mirror" is to save one's own image and words in the mirror. Then the person in the mirror appears from the other side, becomes another person, and speaks to the other person.
If so...send the message here simultaneously.
Because the delay is very low, it looks like the two people are talking directly through the mirror. But in fact, the content of the conversation is clearly known to the person in the mirror.
This was something Annan figured out later.
That's why he was able to use this magical technique to interact with Ai Lei in the nightmare at that time. In a nightmare of this level, only gods can intervene. In fact, this was the case.
Although the decoration style of the Grand Duke's Palace is relatively frugal and low-key, it has all the functions.
The ritual venues and magical materials required for various rituals have been prepared in advance and stored safely and reasonably.
Even if you just say hello, the Hand of Winter, who is good at rituals, can come in from the outside and perform the ceremony on behalf of the Grand Duke... This was the case with the previous Grand Duke Ivan.
But Annan is better at using rituals than Ivan.
At least you don’t have to be like now, where you have to find someone to help you take photos when sending a “telegram”…
There was a lack of mirrors capable of using the Man in the Mirror ritual before, but that was also due to a lack of understanding of this new god. As early as when Annan went to the north, the mirrors in the Grand Duke's Mansion had been replaced.
Another reason for not using the "Mirror of Friends" ritual... is because Annan doesn't want the person in the mirror to know about it.
The man in the mirror is indeed a friendly unit. He has indeed helped Annan a lot.
But Annan still remembers that before the man in the mirror was sublimated, in the nightmare of the White Tower, he expressed strong disdain and dissatisfaction towards the Hand of Winter.
The Principality of Winter is indeed suspected of persecuting independent wizards... Because these wizards have a higher level of vision, and their extraordinary abilities are among the highest among extraordinary people of the same level. This makes the extraordinary crime rate of wizards always the highest among all extraordinary people.
is the highest.
Among the wizard "staff" serving local nobles, there are also dark wizards wanted by the Wizard Tower. They often participate in special operations such as destroying evidence, assassinating political opponents, and plundering resources.
...Of course, there may be a more realistic reason.
It's just that wizards are usually very pampered, and they are basically from academies. They really lack "experience in the world" and have poor ability to close things down after troubles occur, so they are always discovered.
For example, stalkers and hunters, basically if they want to kill someone, they will not be discovered. When they become extraordinary, they are already the best in their profession, so they can become extraordinary.
But wizards, otherwise the corresponding mortal profession of wizards is "Wizard Apprentice".
Basically, there are no wizards who become monks halfway... The enrollment coverage of the Wizard Tower is quite wide. Anyone with talent will be recruited into the Wizard Tower starting from the age of twelve or thirteen, and no later than eighteen
age.
They stay in the wizard tower until they graduate, and then they can be released... Basically, they either have experience problems, emotional intelligence problems, or both. In a high-pressure environment like winter, problems are more likely to occur.
.
There is only one type of "legal" wizard in the cold winter.
