On the other side, the players on the forum have already turned upside down:
"—I knew that Annan's identity was not simple!"
"—Don't be an afterthought, Annan is a descendant of the true god, no one has guessed it..."
"—Don't make trouble, the fact that Annan is 'Annan' instead of 'Don Juan' was made public only last night. Where can you guess..."
"—oooh, I want to pinch Annan's face too..."
"Wait, Lord Skull said dragon blood? Is Annan a descendant of a dragon? Will he become a dragon in the future?"
"—Then I want to change my job to Dragon Knight!"
"—Don't make trouble for now, has Annan really beat a rotten man?"
"—I must have been able to fight, because Annan is the protagonist. In the end, the plot will definitely kill me..."
"—No, no, no, I'm more worried about Sister Gangzi and the others. If there is a real fight, they will definitely be caught in seconds. How do we watch the live broadcast here?"
"—Let Sister Gangzi run away! Go hide in the house, it's safe there!"
"--one-one-quick-run-ah-"
"--one-one-quick-run-ah-"
How the hell am I running
Lin Yiyi couldn't help but want to scold her when she saw the posts on the forum that made her run away as if she was swiping the screen.
If he ran away at this time, wouldn't Annan's goodwill be wiped out
Even if I die here without stopping, or even revive a street, I will never run—
"Senior, old goose, Yi Yi, you guys go hide in the house first."
Annan saw the post on the forum and thought it made sense.
If these two players were to die continuously, the screen would definitely be terribly shaken.
He also wants to change the live broadcast they recorded and make it into a promotional video...
So Annan injected the Philosopher's Stone into his deltoid muscle, and warned them softly, "This is not a battle you can participate in... Protect yourself and Master Michelangelo."
"... yes, my lord."
Lin Yiyi responded immediately.
Since you told me to run, then I can run away
Without any hesitation, she and Delicious Wind Goose pulled Salvatore aside and retreated into the mansion at No. 44 Qingshui Street.
Salvatore still hesitated.
He wants to help Annan.
Although he was surprised that Annan was actually familiar with Sir Silver... he was also amazed by the arrival of the Skeleton Lord and the Rotten Man, and even that he was about to witness the ceremony of becoming a god.
But Salvatore did not forget because of this, Annan was only a Bronze Rank Transcendent.
Even if he uses the Philosopher's Stone... he only temporarily gains the power of the golden rank.
This is not to say that he can truly master all the abilities of the golden rank.
Salvatore, who had just used the Philosopher's Stone, already clearly felt this truth.
"Annan..."
Salvatore was dragged into the room and stared at Annan.
He bit his lip, with some regret in his eyes.
In Salvatore's view, Annan's coming out at this time is entirely because of his own reasons—
He once told Annan that he hoped that a master like Michelangelo would survive;
Now, the source of Annan's confidence, the semi-finished Philosopher's Stone, was also made by Salvatore and given to him.
If something really happened to Annan...
— Then there is no doubt that it is my responsibility.
Salvatore stood there like a wooden stake, silent for a moment.
He suddenly said in a low voice:
"Teacher... are you here?"
"—yes, I'm here."
Benjamin's old and steady voice sounded: "That's a good guess."
Only then did the players suddenly realize that there was an old wizard sitting at the table in the living room.
Salvatore looked at Benjamin with a complicated expression.
"... did you really know Gerald?"
"certainly."
Benjamin nodded calmly: "He was enrolled in the Black Tower at the time, and I took care of his daily life. The relationship between me and him is quite good."
"So, it's also fake that Gerald was expelled from the Black Tower for stealing the magic item and killing the students?"
"Half-truths, half-truths."
Benjamin looked at the slightly trembling Salvatore with a relieved expression.
"That's just a deal."
He calmly said some cruel words: "I let him kill my students, as a price - I will help him steal the bone blood trigger from Lord Skeleton."
These words shocked Salvatore like a thunderbolt.
He looked at Benjamin in disbelief and asked, "Why?"
"For the ingredients, of course."
Benjamin sighed: "You don't think that such a powerful Philosopher's Stone...it doesn't need any expensive or troublesome raw materials?"
Hearing this, Salvatore shuddered.
"One of the main raw materials of the Philosopher's Stone is the wizard's bone marrow extract."
Benjamin spread his hands: "But now it's a peaceful age, where can I find the wizard's bone marrow? Can a person live if their bone marrow is emptied
"Gerald, he looked directly at the Skeletal Lord during the ceremony. The erosion is too high, and he is hopeless. He wants to take the cursed object and study to see if there is any possibility of survival... I will naturally help him. But It is impossible for him to stay in the Black Tower any longer, and my group of students... heh. They are not the same as you. They are just a group of ignorant people who have no talent and are trying to learn to transform spells for profit .”
The old wizard said flatly: "When they ran over to me jokingly and asked me, 'Teacher, is there any formula that is cheap and can make a lot of money', I had the intention to kill them.
"The way of transformation—it's definitely not for these idiots to make money!"
His voice was not loud, just low.
But the players and Salvatore seemed to be blown by an invisible hurricane, and they were almost unable to stand still and fell to the ground.
Salvatore sighed deeply.
He temporarily put aside his random thoughts of asking about the Philosopher's Stone, his seniors, and other things in the Zedi Black Tower, and just followed his initial thoughts, and continued to ask slowly: "After that, Jela Erd is wanted... because you want to officiate the ceremony?"
"Yes. I think so, and so does he."
Benjamin smiled: "I sent three waves of chasers, and he used various means to assassinate me four times. But we all failed.
"As for what we want, it's very simple..."
When he said this, his expression became slightly serious: "When the soul rank is promoted, it will get a new curse.
"Then naturally a keeper is needed to keep the secret of the curse. In this way, the curse can be restrained with the power of the oath...
"The new curse that a person gets after being promoted to a god - naturally also needs a secret keeper. And this secret keeper is usually the 'pope' of the gods."
Benjamin said slowly.
At this time, Annan outside the house also felt that strange burning sensation that made the blood all over his body start to boil.
But that's not pain.
The curse on his body was the same as that of Salvatore, crawling and spreading all over his body. But it wasn't black, but golden runes, shining with dazzling brilliance.
That seems to be the function of the Book of Skycar...
[Level increasing, currently level 19]
[Level increasing, currently level 26]
[Level increasing, currently level 31]
…
The subtitles flow by at a very fast pace, eventually slowly stalling:
[Level increasing, currently level 41]
[Element extraction—]
[Bloodline element: Frost (100%)]
[Soul elements: brilliance (63%), wisdom (45%), understanding (10%), beauty (3%), strictness (1%)]
[Element manifestation: frost, brilliance]
[The truth is appearing—]
[Book of Crane 2/6]
[Usable Truth: Immortals, Paths to Ascension and Transformation]
After that, a strange coolness suddenly hit.
All the clothes on Annan's body were completely torn apart by the surging force—
A strong cold air leached from his body, and the ground was frozen. Annan's skin became paler, almost transparent.
Behind him, a pair of wings protruded from his shoulders and waist.
A pair of hands pointing to the sky.
A pair of drooping shades.
— Covering the runes that shone with brilliance all over the body.
All the runes on Annan's body were covered by wings.
All of a sudden it was all tiny cracks.
The shining golden sphere quietly shines in the crack.
It looks like eyes!
— There are forty pieces in total.
