After the bones disappeared, Annan noticed something extra on the ground.
It was a small, irregularly shaped piece of pure white bone slag.
Although he knew it was dangerous... Annan still couldn't help picking it up.
Fortunately, it does not seem to be a trap.
The moment he touched it, Annan felt a burst of warmth. The touch is like a jade pendant that has been worn for many years.
And somewhat unexpectedly, it still has attributes, although it is very strange:
[Temporary Asylum of Skeletal Lord]
[Type: Jewelry (Golden)]
[Description: The god of skeletons and betrayal, "Skeletal Lord", has no intention of being your enemy for the time being.]
[Effect: When you enter any nightmare left by "Skeleton Lord's Follower", the attack failure will not increase the erosion rate; "Skeleton Lord's Follower" cannot kill you.]
"… Hello."
You are too cowardly, right
Annan was speechless.
Although Skeleton claims that he only took one book...
But for the sake of his disdain, Annan was not quite sure if this sentence was true.
He checked the books and carry-on luggage in his bag again, called out the attribute panel to take a look, and then groped around his body, only to be able to temporarily confirm that He really only took one book...
It is the "Comprehensive Research on the New God "Skeleton Lord"".
"He... what exactly is he covering up?"
Annan murmured in a low voice.
Could it be that he could discover some of his secrets from this book
But if the existence of this book threatened him, couldn't he have taken it from Joseph earlier
Or…
Annan looked at the "Comprehensive Research on the New God "Rotten Man"" that obviously matched it.
"...are you hinting at me something?"
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He began to think seriously.
If he is really "Annan Rinwinter", what should he do now
After being threatened by Skeleton Lord, he was forcibly taken away from the research report on Skeleton Lord, which Annan hadn't read yet. Then of course he would be curious about what was recorded in the book that Lord Skull took away.
So where can Annan learn about it
Mysterious knowledge cannot be communicated through language, and Joseph has lost the carrier now, so he cannot teach Annan directly.
Therefore, Annan can only carefully study the book about the rotten man, trying to find the corresponding "knowledge that he should have obtained".
"He's hinting at me... to get to know the rotten man right away?"
Annan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Indeed, if it hadn't been for such an announcement, Annan would probably have read the book of the rotten man last.
The book of Lord Bones must be the first one to read. And the remaining four are all reference books, only the rotten one... is of no use to Annan for the time being.
Whether it is a human being or a god... as long as they are conscious and have a clear purpose, then their many behaviors will definitely reveal some of their true purpose.
Whoever walks will leave traces.
The same is true for Skeleton Lord.
And for Annan, the traces and information exposed by him are too clear...
Here's very simple reasoning:
First of all, a fundamental question, what is the purpose of the bones
Are you going to kill Annan
If so, why didn't he do it himself, but came here to read the name of the old grandmother, and came here to give Annan the mysterious knowledge
You know, the bone bone knows Annan's name. Then He should naturally know that there are only two healthy direct descendants left in the Duchy of Winter... It is impossible for the old grandmother not to value him.
But at the moment of meeting, the bone bone directly read the name of the old grandmother's god, leaving Annan with only 1% health - but after that, he didn't make up the knife.
Yep, that's why the Heart of Winter has triggered.
It is true that Annan will not be killed due to frost damage... But this special effect comes from the reverse inscription. Ordinary Winter people, or according to his words - Frostborn, don't have reverse inscriptions, and after a while after Annan has 1% of his health left, he should be dead.
And after Annan started to lock the blood, Skeleton Lord did not rush over to make up the knife, but stood aside.
It was revealed unconsciously that Lord Skeleton knew from the very beginning that Annan had reversed inscriptions.
Moreover, his purpose was not to kill Annan, he even gave him an amulet to ensure that Annan had no hostility towards him for the time being.
So, is the purpose of Mr. Bones to befriend Annan? Or was he sending word for the old grandmother
But no matter what the possibility is, there is no need to come up and beat Annan to the brim.
If Skeletal Lord really didn't want Annan to know his relevant knowledge, then he should take away the book of the rotten man; even before that, he should have killed Joseph, taken away or destroyed the book.
In summary.
All the actions of Mr. Bones can only have one purpose.
He wanted Annan to pay attention immediately and collect information on the rotten man.
But why
Is there some kind of conflicting relationship between them
"... I still have to read this book."
Annan sighed.
This is a conspiracy.
If Annan didn't see the intention of Lord Skeleton, he would read the book of the rotten man first in order to confirm "what Lord Skeleton is hiding"; but if Annan saw this intention, in order to confirm the deeper purpose of Lord Skeleton , he still has to read this book.
—Because Annan did offend the rotten man.
Think about it, Klaus, the captain of the guard who killed Don Juan, is a rotten man; and Viscount Barber, who was killed by Annan, is also a rotten man...Klaus is looking for Don Juan's Book of Skycart , and Viscount Barber himself has an unactivated Book of Skycart.
The two remaining pages of the Book of Skycart that Annan now has are related to the rotten man. It can even be said that they are all predators.
Does this mean that the Church of the Rotten Man is looking for the Book of Cranes
If it is considered from this point of view, Annan must also deepen his understanding of the rotten man.
Because it is obviously impossible for Annan to give up this power.
No one knows the horror of "players" better than him.
If the Church of the Rotten Man really wants the Book of Skycarts...then He and Annan will become sworn enemies sooner or later.
Moreover, Annan may not be able to escape the royal conspiracy of Noah's kingdom.
"... When I think about it this way, I feel a subtle sense of discomfort."
Annan looked at the starry sky, held a sledgehammer, and sighed softly.
Although I got a bunch of good things, there is always a sense of déjà vu that I am taking my own life money.
Fortunately, although the first round of confrontation was a bit passive, at least it wasn't muddled...
Things have become very clear, "Annan Winter" seems to be entering the arena as a pawn of the gods. Although I am still in a very marginal position, it is obviously because I am still very weak...
Annan didn't quite resent this feeling.
It has the value of being used by others, and in some cases it is also a kind of luck.
But the problem is...
"Boss, which side am I on? Who are my teammates? Who am I going to fight now?"
Annan Lindong, who unfortunately lost his memory, asked three questions of his soul: "I'm a Mengxin who bought an account. Is someone in charge and nobody in charge?"
Holding the hammer, he looked around in a daze.
