When Annan first entered the pure white mask store.
It was very obvious that I felt a familiar and weird atmosphere, like entering a cemetery.
The surrounding air became colder, the noise disappeared... and it suddenly became very quiet.
If ordinary people came here, they would probably feel inexplicably uneasy. They would feel a chill in their bodies and leave as soon as possible.
And this feeling is probably something Salvatore cannot feel.
Because his soul has reached the silver level, this degree of curse pollution cannot shake his mind at all. On the contrary, he cannot feel the abnormality here.
In other words...
This mask shop is unlikely to have many "ordinary customers" in the first place.
Unless the purpose of the customer is "to buy a pure white mask", those customers who are just wandering around and looking around will probably want to leave as soon as they enter the door.
Annan suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart.
I'm afraid the senior hasn't realized yet... Mr. Chiron is not "hiding here and selling masks" at all.
Salvatore only guessed that Chiron used the [Intuition Rewrite] spell to lure him over. But he didn't realize that the mask shop itself was a place specially designed to communicate with Salvatore and Annan.
"Temporary Ceremony Plate".
Precisely because this is a store that looks normal from the outside, Salvatore walked in hesitantly after stopping at the door instead of turning around and leaving.
It was precisely because there were no real customers in this store that he could take Salvatore directly to the back after he came in without worrying about leaking the secret.
——I'm afraid Chiron's purpose in bringing Salvatore here is to let him bring Annan here now.
By the time the two of them leave, I'm afraid Chiron won't be able to stay here anymore.
"Sir Salvatore."
They stayed in the mask shop for less than half a minute when Mr. Kai's voice came from beside them: "And... Your Majesty Annan, this is not the first time we have met."
"Indeed. I haven't seen you for a while, Mr. Kai."
Annan turned around and stretched out his hand to shake Mr. Kai's hand.
He was at least two heads shorter than Mr. Kai, and the difference in the size of his hands was even greater. But Mr. Kai did not look down upon him at all. Instead, he bowed down respectfully and said, "That's what your Majesty said."

"It doesn't have to be like this," Annan said softly, "I am the Majesty of the Winter People, not your Majesty."
"No, you are indeed my Majesty."
Mr. Kai said seriously: "The holder of the three-color scepter is the emperor of the elves and centaurs."
Hearing this, Annan was also startled.
This was the first time he heard of it.
Although he had heard before that the three-color scepter was held by the Elf Emperor before, he only knew now that it was actually the symbol of imperial power of the Yasselan Empire.
"...I thought the three-color scepter was always held by the Duke of Winter."
But Annan said so.
Of course he knew that the tricolor scepter, a great cursed object, was only kept by the Grand Duke Winter after the empire was disintegrated.
He hoped that Mr. Kai could say more and induce him to continue talking on this topic.
Mr. Kai must have heard the hint in Annan's words, but he did not resist it.
He did not deal with it, but instead took advantage of the situation and said: "The three-color scepter... No, the [Three Sirens] were originally part of the emperor's authority. The emperor's ability to rule the country stably is closely related to the power of the sirens..."
Mr. Kai stopped here and bowed respectfully to Annan.
Then, he stretched his hand slightly backward: "Then, Your Majesty... how about we go in and talk?"
"good."
Annan nodded slightly.
Victor, who had been following them before, suddenly appeared in the store at this moment.
But Mr. Kai continued to lead the way down as if he didn't see the other side at all.
Salvatore looked back at Victor.
Victor just nodded slightly to him, taking it as a greeting.
Judging from the previous conversation between Annan and Mr. Kai, Salvatore also began to vaguely realize that this meeting seemed different from what he had originally thought...it seemed not that simple.
…But it’s not a big problem.
Anyway, Annan is by your side, so there is nothing to panic about.
If there was something he needed to know, Annan would always find a way to let him know.
So thinking this, Salvatore decisively gave up thinking, cleared his mind, and happily followed Annan into the back room.
Of course, Salvatore will not have any psychological pressure on this——
This is to allow himself to "know what he knows". Don't make random thoughts without knowing the truth and without any evidence, so as to create some wrong impression on others.
If there was something wrong with his initial judgment, then Salvatore would always be affected by this impression when he looked at this person and this incident. Just like at the beginning, he thought that Don Juan was a man with no talent.
People...and only later did they gradually realize Annan's talent.
It was then that Salvatore realized he was wrong.
Of course, he also learned later... that Don Juan and Annan were indeed two completely different people. But this did not change that Salvatore did misjudge others because of his own preconceived impressions.
Since then, Salvatore has been cautious about defining others.
Unless Annan tells him the answer directly, he will try his best to view a person in a less extreme direction.
Of course, Lord Chiron is also an exception.
Salvatore only needed to meet him once to know that he was indeed a good man and a smart man. So before Annan turned him against him, Salvatore was willing to believe him.
They entered the basement and saw at first sight the male centaur whose lower body was hidden in the painting.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to salute you."
This time it was not Mr. Kai, but the centaur Chiron who spoke: "I'm here to see you. I really need your help with something.
"On the other hand... I can answer any questions you have."
"Then, Master Chiron," Annan said without hesitation, "my suggestion is that you state your request first.
"And I will choose the questions to ask you based on the difficulty of the request."
The implication of Annan's words was that he didn't want to owe any favors, so that after he finished asking, Chiron would directly give him a very simple request - because this was not a transaction, and there was no saying that they had agreed to leave.
In that case, even if Annan took advantage, he would owe Chiron a favor.
But at his level...favor is the most precious thing.
Chiron nodded.
The horse sage said solemnly: "This request is closely related to your previous question.
"After you get the great spell [Smoke Mirror] later, I need to let [White Girl] use [Smoke Mirror] to relieve my current sealed state."
"...Then, should I ask, what is the use of the smoke mirror and the white woman?"
"This answer counts as a gift. It can be a deposit if you wish."
Chiron replied without hesitation: "If you have collected information about great-level spells, you will realize that except for smoke mirrors, all great-level spells have 'numbers'. Just like the [three] in winter.
The Sirens], Noah's [Fourth History], and the Theocracy's [Sixth Phase of the Past], these are the three great cursed objects that are easiest to know their names. But there are also three of them without numbers.
"This is actually a ritual. These six great-level spells form the [Manifest Triangle] and the [Hidden Triangle]. So there are three with numbers on their names, and there are also three hidden and better great ones.
Level spell.
"And they actually have another name that is not used, which also contains numbers from one to six. For example, [Smoke Mirror]... I think your Majesty, you must have heard of the principle of 'light comes from the mirror'
.”
After Annan nodded, Chiron quickly replied: "[Smoke Mirror] has another name that is not used.
"It is the [Ovule of the First Ray]. It is the earliest mirror in the world, used to reflect the first light of this world, the first ray of the sun.
"Thus, when its concept as a 'mirror' was established... it hatched the first rays of the sun."
