Seeing that Albert's expression was not right, Annan found an excuse, grabbed Salvatore and hurriedly retreated, and handed over the rotten assassin to Albert for interrogation himself—
After all, the information he spit out of his mouth may also include parts that cannot be known to "Annan Rinwinter". And Albert and Annan are now solid allies, and if there is anything, they will tell Annan.
After Annan and Salvatore left the church, they immediately assigned new tasks to the players.
Then he set off without hesitation.
It's like absconding in fear of crime.
Annan asked them to go to No. 12 Rustwater Street in the East District.
It's next door to Gerald's Dentist's office.
Noterdamm's "present" residence.
He lives with his new wife.
His "reserve" wife was not yet officially married to him, let alone pregnant.
Annan and Salvatore went to check the situation in person at No. 44 Qingshui Street where Merris Notterdamm, who was actually pregnant, was located.
The players were specially entrusted by Annan not to make any changes. Just observe and record to see if there are any abnormalities.
Annan is going to do an experiment with Salvatore.
He wanted to try it out, if the door of No. 44 Qingshui Street in the West End was closed...
Will the door of No. 12 Rustwater Street also be opened
In other words, are the two rituals interlocking
Because Annan remembered that when they first went to No. 44 Qingshui Street, the door was opened—and there was no one inside. It was after all the doors were closed that the "past" of three or four years ago was turned into reality.
If the two sides will be interlocked, then Annan must re-determine... If the "past" side is turned to the opposite side when giving birth, will it be regarded as the failure of the "non-existence" ceremony or the "hidden" side? "And success
If it is the former, then Annan must deploy two defensive points, and both sides must defend at the same time... while the latter can only be deployed on Rustwater Street.
But if, the rituals of the two sides are not interlocked.
That's great fun.
Don't say anything else.
Annan only wanted to know one thing—
"Two 'Noterdams', if they meet... what will happen?"
Annan analyzed with a serious face: "Aren't you curious, senior?"
Even though his identity is exposed now, he still habitually calls him Senior Salvatore.
And Salvatore still used to call him Don Juan.
But now, Salvatore looked at Annan's expression a little wrongly.
"...Honestly, Don Juan—do you know Her Majesty Cafney?"
Salvatore looked curious, and asked in a low voice: "You just tell me alone, and I promise not to tell outside."
Annan looked helpless: "I really don't know..."
"real?"
Seeing the senior's persistent questioning, Annan couldn't help sighing: "It's really true..."
Regardless of whether Annan knew him in the past, anyway, Annan now really doesn't know him.
Annan didn't dare to accept this kind of kindness without reason.
Annan does not shy away from deceiving others, and he has no obsessive-compulsive disorder about injuring teammates or temporary teammates—as long as the goal can be achieved, Annan will let weaker teammates block the gun.
The purpose is to allow more important teammates to be temporarily retained.
All for efficiency.
But just like a thief like Salvatore is easy to deceive, Annan doesn't want to deceive him anymore...
Kafni came to his door and claimed to protect him, and Annan didn't want her to sell blood.
And I really don't need your protection. On my side, there are tool people who can be resurrected at any time to sell blood...
If there is an enemy, Annan's resurrection authority will be fully extended, and the four bronze players will continue to sell blood infinitely, so they should be able to stop them no matter what. The four of them couldn't stop them with their lives, and adding a Kafni would probably be for nothing.
There will also be experience.
"However, with Her Highness Cafney here, our previous preparations seem to be of little use."
Salvatore sighed: "I don't know if it's a pity or a blessing... The Philosopher's Stone is no longer available."
"It's better not to use it."
Annan said without hesitation: "Believe it or not, after we take this thing out, we will be in trouble again after that?"
"Of course I do."
Salvatore shrugged: "The Philosopher's Stone... This is what all transformation wizards are after. Even if they are not transformation wizards, there will be a lot of big shots who want to get it."
"...Speaking of which, senior."
Annan felt that the timing was more appropriate, and he could ask this question more naturally, without appearing to have ulterior motives: "Even if you suddenly dreamed about the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone... But where did the inspiration come from?" ?”
"I do not know either… "
Salvatore choked on this question, and replied vaguely with a wry smile: "Dreams... are just dreams."
"—Idiot. I don't know how to predict spells, so how can I predict the future."
At this moment, Shadow made a low and hoarse voice: "It's Teacher Benjamin's notes, the one you saw before leaving the Black Tower... Your memory is getting worse, Thrall."
And it's not because you're keeping me from sleeping—
Salvatore almost cursed out loud.
But he still endured it and went back.
"—Oh yes, it's Teacher Benjamin's notes!"
Salvatore pretended to remember it suddenly, with a dazed look on his face: "I saw it before leaving the black tower!"
Annan stopped suddenly.
"—Benjamin too?"
He turned around and asked in surprise.
Seeing Annan's reaction, Salvatore blinked.
"… What's wrong?"
"I forgot to tell you some information before, senior."
Annan whispered and said quickly: "Your Excellency Benjamin is indeed not dead... He even came to the frozen water port ten days ago;
"I saw from a nightmare that Gerald, who was hunted down by you, had a very good relationship with Benjamin a few years ago... At least they can be called mutual trust;
"And Gerald and Benjamin were both witnesses to the ceremony of Master Michelangelo, and they are all together now. So I'm thinking..."
"—Do you want to say that the fact that I made the Philosopher's Stone... is also one of Teacher Benjamin's plans?"
Salvatore quickly understood what Annan meant.
In a daze, he almost thought it was the truth—because he was familiar with Benjamin's style of acting. Benjamin also knew that he had a shadow, and probably making the Philosopher's Stone at this time was also one of his arrangements.
"Mr. Benjamin is indeed the kind of person who takes one step at a time..."
But he quickly denied: "But this is impossible. Because Mr. Benjamin does not know the spells of the divination department..."
"But Master Michelangelo would."
Annan replied.
From the moment he heard the name Benjamin, he suddenly realized one thing.
There must always be an executor for a ceremony, right
Annan originally thought that this ceremony was personally arranged by "Michelangelo of the past". But if everything goes according to Michelangelo's plan... Benjamin and Gerald are pawns.
Why in the nightmare, when Benjamin heard that Michelangelo was going to be resurrected, didn't he have the slightest anger to be used
If…
Are they themselves the performers of the ritual
"What would have happened if Gerald hadn't died?"
Annan murmured: "He can immediately control the situation when he meets the Viscount. Bronze-rank hunters cannot resist Gerald's mind control, especially the Viscount and those rotting believers.
"As the master of the ceremony, he is undoubtedly the most stable choice. After Gerald's death, Benjamin is the executor of the ceremony..."
"What are you trying to say, Don Juan?"
Salvatore asked.
He vaguely had a vague idea in his mind, but he couldn't remember it.
"-madness."
Shadow cursed in a low voice.
"—very simple."
Annan replied.
The next moment, Annan's and Shadow's voices almost overlapped:
"—Suppose the conflict (hate) between Benjamin (teacher) and Gerald was caused by this incident?"
That is, the resurrection of Michelangelo!
Because Annan clearly remembered that Gerald killed all of Benjamin's students a few years ago, but the relationship between them was pretty good at that time.
But after that, as Benjamin's new student, Salvatore didn't seem to know the relationship between them... thinking that Gerald and Benjamin were old enemies for many years. The Black Tower also issued a warrant to Gerald, "to get that hammer back."
But what use is that hammer to Zedi Heita
And Gerald is also trying to use Salvatore to advance to gold.
Salvatore is the son of the Black Tower. If Gerald killed him, he couldn't please himself.
But why is he in such a hurry
Perhaps it was because Benjamin was competing with Gerald for the right to execute the resurrection ceremony!
