"—Wait, you said 'His Royal Highness'?"
"—Did you hear me right?"
Seeing the title of Lin Yiyi's post, the players clicked in one after another, shouting excitedly.
Although they are deeply skeptical of this "shocking" post title. But since they will click in, it means that they are obviously curious about this matter...
Facing the doubts from the players, Lin Yiyi released a short video without hesitation.
The video is only about ten seconds long, and it is the section with the largest amount of information that she has just intercepted from the live broadcast she recorded:
"About you, I haven't told His Highness yet."
I saw that maybe it was because of being too fat, or because of the bald head—or it might be because of simply not being good-looking, the old Daliyuan Bread, who was "not quite a good guy" in the comments of the players, had a face of Said to Annan seriously.
So Annan bowed to Prince Albert and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness."
His voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and his thin and straight upper body looked a bit stubborn.
Immediately afterwards, the players saw clearly that Albert was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "You are, Your Highness Annan? Why are you here?"
The short video ends here.
"... Annan?"
After watching the video, Meimeifeng Goose murmured thoughtfully: "I remember the super administrator of our forum, who seems to be called Annan..."
"That's right!"
Lin Yiyi slapped her thigh and made a crisp snap.
The wine next to him covered his legs in pain.
The wandering child was thoughtful: "That's right... It's impossible for the super management to give a name that has nothing to do with the game for no reason."
"Actually, at first, I thought 'Annan' was the name of some great god."
Delicious Wind Goose said in a low voice: "Then I thought, maybe there will be a few managements in the future. They all use the names of other gods... After all, I didn't think about the possibility of 'Don Juan is a fake name' at the beginning."
"... You seem to have a point in saying that."
The homeless child couldn't help but nodded.
"Speaking of Uncle Goose, what do you think of Don Juan... oh no, where is Annan's 'His Royal Highness'?"
Jiu'er asked curiously.
"No guess," Delicious Wind Goose said bluntly, "We know too little about this world. But first of all, we can be sure that it can't be Noah's Kingdom—otherwise they wouldn't be so divided.
"But Albert must have met Annan not long ago. After all, His Highness Annan is not very old. If he saw him ten years ago, when he was four or five years old, he might not recognize him now."
"So I guess, Annan should be next door. Considering that he is now in Frozen Water Harbor... I guess blindly, he may be the son of the Duke of Winter."
Delicious Wind Goose slowly replied: "This possibility is not small. It's just that I don't know exactly what Annan's motive is, and... where did the original Don Juan go."
The next moment, a light curtain suddenly flashed in front of the four of them:
[Half a month after crossing the sea of gray mist... you gradually recovered some of your lost memories, and finally realized the contradiction of your own identity]
[You have recalled your mission and the true identity of "Don Juan Geraint" whom you swore allegiance to—]
[—Annan Cold Winter. The youngest son of the Duke of Winter, the first heir of the Duke of Winter]
[But you have added a lot of doubts in your heart]
[You... why are you here? Why in the Kingdom of Noah? Why stay in this remote frozen water port?]
[Where is the real Don Juan Geraint?]
[During the period when you lost your memory... what happened?]
[The lord you serve, why did you protect you in silence? And... Are you weak mortal guards really capable of protecting the son of a Grand Duke?]
[Acquired the main task: Embark on the extraordinary road]
[Task Requirements: Obtain the Bronze Soul, Advanced Extraordinary (1/1)]
After the four realized Annan's identity, a large amount of data streams suddenly flashed in front of them, and they got a new main line.
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for them to think too much, the flow of light continued to flow downward after a brief pause:
[Completed the main mission: Embark on the extraordinary road]
[Get 1000 favors from Don Juan Geraint]
[Up to now, you have finally obtained the overdue extraordinary power]
[No matter what Annan is burdening or fighting against, you have already made up your mind and are ready to help him]
[You will serve him, protect him, and be loyal to him with your immortal body—]
[Even in the face of God, still unwavering]
[Acquired time-limited main task: Guardian (remaining access time 7:22:03)]
[Task requirements: In the coming disaster, protect the person you want to protect; and ensure that Annan does not die]
The four of them froze for a moment and looked at each other.
Afterwards, Lin Yiyi's hand was ill, and she went to the forum to take a look.
The other players who saw Lin Yiyi's post also got the main line of "embark on the path of the extraordinary". They all looked confused, and went to inform those players who didn't read the forum to "go to the forum to accept the task".
But they didn't get the next time-limited main line because they didn't have enough levels.
"… so close!"
Lin Yiyi exclaimed: "If we didn't realize this, would we have missed this time-limited main storyline?"
"But they are aware of this and have missed the main thread."
The delicious wind goose said slowly: "Because their level is not enough.
"If you want to receive this main story line... you must get excellent or higher ratings in 'Black Flame Calamity' and 'Roseburg Calamity', and clear the first few levels in the subsequent Nightmare Raiders.
"—That is to say, the main lines in front actually play a screening role. We have been in the calculation of the system from the very beginning."
Delicious Wind Goose seriously analyzed: "It is to screen out players with excellent abilities in both 'reality' and 'nightmare', rather lack than indiscriminate.
"I speculate that next we may have to fight the world boss in team mode... This may be a door-opening task for a large instance."
"...like Ahn'Qiraj opening the door?"
Lin Yiyi couldn't help asking.
She also didn't expect that one day she would be able to participate in this kind of large-scale world mission that promotes the progress of the world's main line...
Delicious Wind Goose nodded: "Look - we happen to be four people, including Annan, it is a five-member team. In the previous dungeon, we have already formed a team once, and we have a general idea of the behavior styles of both sides...
"Judging from the description of this main mission, I judge that this may be a protective mission. That is, the type of mission that is delayed by us and Annan makes the final decision."
He analyzed with reason and evidence.
The other three nodded their heads.
And in fact.
These two main quests were edited by Annan in advance.
They did find out a little too late...
Annan planned from the beginning that whenever the player began to doubt his identity, he would throw out the first mission. In this way, players will only suddenly realize that this is part of the "game mechanism" and "game content".
But Annan didn't know whether his acting ability was too strong, or these players were too brainless, and it was surprising that no one had proposed such an idea...
Fortunately, the fourth prince was honest enough to reveal this matter.
Otherwise, Annan will have to seriously consider how to flop, forcibly lower his intelligence to make a mistake, and feed the information to the players...
