The deceased in the ceremony five years ago.
A pregnant woman who died of dystocia two and a half years ago.
Now, the newborn is about to...
"...if the Black Sea is used as a mirror."
Bishop Darryl pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "The positions of Fort Rose and Howling White Tower are almost symmetrical."
Obviously, the fat bishop was also convinced by Salvatore's speculation.
and…
Annan frowned slightly, thinking seriously.
The information he got was actually more than Darryl—
Noterdam's new house, "12 Rustwater Street," is actually next door to Gerald's dental office.
If he hadn't been murdered, the great wizard Benjamin should have arrived at Freezing Water Harbor. Frozen Water Port is only a few hours away from Fort Rose.
Plus... Annan who looks exactly like Maria Lindong five years ago.
-what does that mean
Annan's pupils shrank slightly.
According to Salvatore's intelligence, Michelangelo went wrong at the very end of the ceremony. And the news Annan got from the nightmare was... the ceremony will end when there are only four people left no matter what.
Then, the final survivors should be "Michelangelo", "Maria", "Benjamin", and "Gerald".
In other words...
When Michelangelo died five years ago, Maria, Benjamin, and Gerald were all beside him.
And now.
If there were no accidents... Annan, Benjamin, and Gerald should all be reunited here, except for Maria, who really couldn't be reproduced.
Annan's brain was spinning rapidly.
think about it...
If Annan was not the time traveler himself, and Benjamin hadn't murdered, what would happen now
—Benjamin and Don Juan will arrive when he is unconscious on the beach. And Benjamin, who has seen Maria, will immediately recognize Annan's identity and protect him.
—Knowing that Benjamin, a well-known great wizard, is guarding Frozen Water Harbor, the Viscount will naturally not take the shame of himself and launch an attack with Salvatore's black fire. But the viscount and the captain of the guard, Klaus, are in the same group, so he will know Annan's identity.
—In order to deter Don Juan from acting rashly and quietly complete his reincarnation ceremony, he will invite Benjamin, Don Juan and Annan to hold a banquet in the Viscount's mansion.
The Viscount's Mansion is adjacent to Notre Dame's old house.
Just as Noterdam's new home is adjacent to Gerald's dentist's office...
"Thinking about it now, there is indeed something wrong."
Salvatore looked at Annan with a serious expression: "His Excellency Noterdam told us before... If Gerald wins in our battle with Gerald, then Noterdam will go to Invite Gerald to make friends with him instead of the Viscount.
"But we overlooked one thing. Noterdamm is just an ordinary tax collector, not even a superhuman. Why did the viscount send such a person? Is it really just to cover the crime? Listen to him, he has been I have worked so hard for the Viscount, and I have not offended the Viscount... "
"He's telling the truth."
Annan took Salvatore's words and said seriously: "At least Noterdam was really at a loss when he said those words before.
"He doesn't know why the viscount is targeting him. But other than that, there is another possibility...
"That is, Noterdamm really knew Gerald. But in 'this period of time' he didn't know about it."
—If it is said that there are two tax officials Noterdamm at the same time, everything can be explained.
Annan remembered that when he was sending Annan and Salvatore back to the Viscount's mansion, he once mentioned inadvertently that his wife, Melis Noterdamm, was an apprentice of the Black Tower, and she knew what a soul-reaper was, and Know about supernatural beings.
Salvatore told Annan that the apprentices in the Wizard Tower are generally young people. Once they reach the age of twenty-four and have not learned their first spell, they are usually dismissed, because it means that they do not have the talent to learn spells.
In the normal stage, learning the first spell is the most difficult. This means that they perceive and control part of the curse, and sort out and absorb it according to complicated and non-contradictory rules. The whole process is roughly similar to programming with imagination.
And if they have mastered a spell, it is considered that they have obtained the profession of "wizard apprentice", called "apprentice". They may be allowed to study until the age of thirty-six.
They must have learned enough spells by then. If twelve years have passed, and they have not successfully advanced to the bronze level, then it means that they either have a deep understanding of the misfortune of stepping into the extraordinary road during the learning process, and they are afraid of becoming extraordinary...or their minds Too stupid to successfully purify even a single nightmare.
Only then will they be dissuaded. Before that, if any apprentice decides to give up the wizarding path, or no longer wants to step into the extraordinary through the wizarding path, he can leave at any time.
The only constraint is that once you leave you can't come back.
Melis Noterdamm is an apprentice at the Black Tower of the Marsh, which means she must have mastered one to four spells.
And the schools of magic taught by Zedi Black Tower only have three systems: Transformation, Shaping, and Soul Seizing. Before Salvatore entered the school, all the apprentices of the transformation school were killed by Gerald.
In other words, there is a high probability that Merris Noterdam knew Gerald.
Judging from her age, she is very likely to be an apprentice taught by Gerald.
It may even be a chess piece buried before Gerald left the Black Tower of the Marsh—
"If I'm not wrong," Annan said slowly, looking at Salvatore, "the key point may be that you closed all the 'doors'."
In retrospect, it was odd that all the doors were open from the outermost gate to the inside.
And Annan and the others walked in from the outside, barely touching anything.
The only thing that moved was that Salvatore, based on his habit, closed the doors... closed all the doors.
And after all the doors had been shut, "The Noterdams Two and a Half Years Ago" popped up.
"I suspect it might be the same on the other side."
Annan looked at Bishop Daryl and lowered his head slightly: "Please take a look. Is this ceremony related to the opening and closing of the 'door'? Then just to confirm... If our previous speculation is correct, then the two Can 'Noterdam' in different timelines appear at the same time?"
Bishop Darryl's real identity is the Cardinal of Sir Silver.
There is no doubt that despite his appearance, he must be the strongest person Annan has ever seen...or at least the strongest group of people.
For this kind of thing, you still have to ask the boss to find out the way.
This is not cowardice, this is prudence.
"These can be given to me."
Bishop Darryl nodded, and didn't feel anything wrong.
If Annan waved past desperately, he would have to worry about how to hold Annan and keep him from dying...
It is also very worry-free to have good teammates who don't like to give away.
"However, it sounds like..."
The fat bishop looked at Annan curiously: "You two have other plans?"
"Yes."
Annan and Salvatore looked at each other, and replied: "We plan to go back to the frozen water port and make some preparations. In the next few days, please check the information again to see if the day of difficult labor is the best The dividing line... Then the real date of birth, what day is it. Then you can send someone to notify us a day or two in advance."
"Oh, it's not necessary."
Bishop Darryl smiled, without too much tension on his face: "I just did some mental calculations, and the final day should be December 14th. You two just need to come back before the night of the 13th.
"If you two have any plans, go back quickly. I'll take care of the Viscount's affairs for you too...
"Sir Silver is right, things should be prioritized."
The fat bishop smiled, showing a kind smile:
"As it happens, those mortals who are greedy for profit, those petty power struggles... are the most insignificant group.
"If they dare to make trouble at this time, I will let them know the price."
