Upon hearing this, Annan suddenly understood Philip's thoughts.
His life so far has been all mistakes, and he has long deviated from the original path.
But he is not a fool who knows nothing about it.
Philip was not as ignorant as Bella...even so clumsy that he didn't know what his actions meant to others, nor what impact his actions had.
Philip already knew everything from his third life.
When Philip clearly understood his mission and realized that he had embarked on the wrong path... he resolutely chose to escape from this mission.
——He took the initiative to betray his original mission that he had forgotten. Instead, he chose to live for himself and live the current life.
This in itself can indeed be regarded as a pragmatic behavior.
But this was inconsistent with the fact that he had deduced that he "held an important mission" in his first life. It was precisely because of this... that Philip felt uneasy.
...just like forgetting to turn off the gas when going out, or forgetting to close the door, feeling uneasy all the time.
What caused this uneasiness was precisely his desire to "want to live a peaceful life." This conflict of fate was probably the reason why the tragedy writer fell in love with him.
- But this is not the whole truth.
After understanding Philip's way of thinking, Annan's eyes became pitiful.
He realized very clearly that Philip had overlooked one thing. And this thing was exactly what Philip was unable to realize...it was important information that only Annan knew and that only Annan could relate to.
If I guessed correctly...
Annan has learned all the truth again.
"...Did you think of something?"
Philip was keenly aware of the change in Annan's eyes.
Annan nodded and said slowly: "Yes.
"But the question is... do you really want to hear it?"
"...What is it about? Can I listen?"
Philip asked cautiously.
He suddenly had a vague hunch in his heart - the answer to this question was very important, so important that it might affect many things.
The safest thing is not to listen. Then nothing will change.
but……
"...I don't want to miss anything anymore. Instead of regretting it when the time comes, it would be better for me to be miserable for a while."
Philip took a deep breath: "Please tell me, Your Majesty."
"What I want to say is exactly what you have forgotten."
Annan said slowly: "That is...the part about your mission."
Hearing this, Philip was startled.
He obviously didn't quite understand Annan's words.
"Are you afraid and anxious because you have forgotten your important mission? Are you dissatisfied and confused because Noah has erased all traces of your existence?"
Annan whispered and closed his eyes slightly: "Philippe Flamel is an extremely smart wise man, a half-elf wise man known as the 'Orator'. He is an extraordinary person with a dyed soul, and he
His friend, the first King Noah was the guardian of the great curse.
"Noah undoubtedly understood the side effects of [The Fourth Historiography], and since he would use it for Philip, he would probably tell Philip about the fourth side effect hidden in it. Even if he didn't really say it, Philip
Even if you don’t know the fourth rule, you must also know the third rule.
"What he wrote at that time, 'The Future Is Determined'...how do you know that it was not completed?"
Annan said slowly: "In other words, how can you be sure that... you have lost the key memory of the first life, and it is not the 'future' written by you in the first life?"
——This is a possibility that only Annan can think of.
Because he himself has walked this path.
Annan in the first life abandoned his memory and self, and made arrangements at the cost of self-erasure, allowing Annan in the second life to unknowingly grow into an adapter of the Heart of Justice and a contractor of the Book of Heavenly Cars.
Of course, Annan would not be so arrogant as to think that this was his only situation.
Not to mention that the rituals he used were all existing things...the only difference was that even if he cleared the "memories that belonged to this world", there were still "memories that did not belong to this world".
This is also the way the Annan Society uses this ritual.
But is there anyone who thinks the same thing as Annan?
Of course it is possible.
King Noah happened to not warn Philip, Philip happened to be completely unprepared, and the lost memory happened to cover the entire truth, and King Noah still didn’t know why he erased Philip’s existence in history to anger him... and it has been
Until Philip succeeded to the throne, no one paid much attention to "Philip's reincarnation".
——Compared with the superposition of many "tiny possibilities".
Philip had already anticipated everything, which is a more reasonable guess.
And if Philip "forgot his mission", it was his purpose.
So what could this help Philip do?
"If everything went well...you were supposed to be a mirror."
Annan sighed.
Hearing this, Philip's pupils suddenly shrank.
He vaguely realized something...
"Think about it, if Klaus could have searched more comprehensively... and even taken away the Book of Heavenly Wheels from Don Juan Geraint, you would have been my first mirror."
Annan said slowly: "The light of the first ray is [the simplest, most powerful and bright]. In front of the bright light, the darker light is darkness. Different fates are drawn here...
"I was also a little surprised at the time. Although Don Juan is similar to me, the degree of similarity is too great compared to Denton the Dream Stealer, Henry VIII, Bernardino the Spiritual Monk, etc.
It's insignificant.
"But I later learned that Dream Stealer Denton escaped his fate of becoming a mirror and gave the fragments of the Book of Sky Wheels to Viscount Barbour of Roseburg.
"I was just thinking... maybe Don Juan's mirror shouldn't be on him in the first place?"
Annan looked at Philip.
His pupils were as bright as a mirror, reflecting Philip's fearful expression.
If the first mirror was supposed to be that of Philip... everything would be correct.
He is also a confused person who "forgot the first life", but Annan embarked on the right path because of his "simplest strength and brightness"; Philip was only pursuing a peaceful and unconscious death.
"Why did King Noah erase the historical records of your existence? Because he didn't want you to find out about yourself and notice the memories that you had voluntarily forgotten. Your original destiny was to become one of the seven mirrors of the Book of the Sky.
"
...In other words, [Philip] was a tool from the very beginning.
——He is a "spare Annan".
A "protagonist candidate" that only needs to be activated "in case Annan does not arrive".
