No. 44 Qingshui Street has completely turned into a towering giant tree.
And with Benjamin's modification, the appearance of the giant tree that was just transformed from a house looks more and more real.
At the very beginning, the bark was still unusually white and neat, and it looked like a normal tree. It was impossible for the tree to still have such a smooth bark after reaching this scale.
But under Benjamin's transformation, the completely symmetrical giant tree gradually became distorted and inclined. The bark becomes lumpy and gradually reveals the traces of natural weathering.
Eventually, sparse grass even grew around the entire tree. There are traces of moss near the roots of the trees, and traces of dust can be seen on the leaves.
After sealing the ceremony, Benjamin turned around and nodded slightly to Annan: "His Royal Highness Annan.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
What he meant was obviously to let Annan explain the "giant tree that suddenly appeared".
But this is not difficult for Annan.
Residents in Qingshui Street were originally very sparse. This is not a wealthy area in the general sense, but the temporary residence assigned by the officials. No. 11 Clearwater Street is the Viscount's Mansion, and No. 1 to No. 10 Clearwater Street are Roseburg's centralized office spaces.
Just as Noterdam would have chosen to buy elsewhere... so have other officials.
Otherwise, it would be too simple for the Viscount Roseburg to send someone to search their house for contraband. And under the eyes of the viscount, many things are not easy to explain.
Now that the Viscount "died by accident", they dare not live near Qingshui Street. I was afraid that other colleagues would mistake me for something to do with this matter, or be chosen by Annan to throw the blame after being familiar with him.
There are not many families in this nearby street. When the time comes when they come back, Annan can just find an excuse to fool them.
"No problem, Master Benjamin."
Annan also nodded, and bowed politely to the new pope.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a gentle smile: "Or... should I call you the Pope?"
"It will be all right."
Benjamin nodded.
As time passed, the illusion that was burning in him all the time gradually subsided a lot. Although the sense of presence is still dazzling and can be noticed immediately at a glance... But it has gradually lost the shocking sense of brilliance when it first walked out of the house.
Annan was thoughtful.
... Is this feeling what it looks like when you ignite your soul and extract elements after you have a golden soul
Is this what a soul looks like when it's burning
"Then, I'll go first... Your Highness Annan."
Benjamin didn't look at other people, but said respectfully to Annan: "If you have anything to do, you can just call the person in the mirror.
"If there is still something that needs my help, my lord will contact me."
"Wait a minute, Lord Benjamin. I have a question..."
Annan grabbed Benjamin's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Benjamin interrupted Annan: "I know what you want to ask.
"I did see you then. But I don't know... why you were there."
Benjamin's vague words made Salvatore and the others unable to understand and were very confused.
But Annan already understood what Benjamin really wanted to express:
When Benjamin left the boat, he did see Annan who was unconscious by the sea.
But Benjamin didn't know where Annan was rushed over from.
Annan asked: "So, do you have any clues?"
"All I can confirm is..."
Benjamin pondered for a while, then slowly said: "At that time, there was a 'leviathan breath'."
"... Leviathan?"
Annan was taken aback.
A name I've never heard of.
Is this some kind of "influence"
Benjamin nodded and confirmed: "That's right, it's one of the three supreme monsters of the mysterious lady.
"Considering that you were not a Transcendent at that time... I removed the residue of this influence."
Leviathan breath.
Annan muttered, remembering the new name.
Finally got some new clues...
The reason why he didn't die after throwing himself into the sea may be because he was protected by the mysterious lady or at least "Leviathan". He carried himself to the vicinity of the frozen water port.
And the "reverse inscription" on the soul should have been engraved at that time.
Annan thought of this, and asked again: "The last question... do you understand the inscription?"
Hearing this, Benjamin paused slightly.
He nodded, then shook his head again.
"It can't be regarded as 'knowing', only 'heard'."
Benjamin said slowly: "Inscriptions are ancient knowledge that was lost in the second era, and it is also a type of mysterious knowledge. And it is the highest level of mysterious knowledge.
"The only ones who can still use inscriptions today are the ancient false gods born before the end of the second era, or the twelve righteous gods.
"The curses in this world all emerge in the form of certain ancient runes. As the highest level language, inscriptions can be inserted into any sentence pattern and have the highest priority for judgment... Therefore, inscriptions are also the means of 'changing the curse. Power'. Those superhumans who have the curse of mortal death can only hope in the inscription.
"Its existence itself is not a hidden thing. The price of using this extraordinary skill is not too high. The reason why many churches use the designated 'inscription' as one of the highest level rewards... is Because the inscription can only be etched by the pope or the god himself."
"The fragments of inscriptions mastered by different gods are different. The only one who masters all the inscriptions is the mysterious lady with the alias 'Sky Whisperer'."
Benjamin glanced at Annan, and added: "If you need an inscription, you can entrust it to the man in the mirror. He can learn from the mysterious lady."
"I don't have such a need for now..."
Annan shook his head slowly, and asked: "That is to say, every curse can etch inscriptions?"
"Yes, but this does not mean that the spell will definitely become stronger, or it may become weaker. The power of the inscription is reflected in the 'knowledge of oneself'. Each spell can etch an inscription, but at most it can only An inscription can be etched, and once it is etched, it cannot be modified. What kind of inscription is chosen will directly change the curse they have set."
Having said that, Benjamin paused slightly.
When he said this, he probably already guessed why Annan asked this...
So he immediately added:
"...all the superpowers in this world come from curses. So those 'special talents' that are born with are actually a kind of curse.
"It's just that the runes of these curses don't float on the surface, but are engraved in the soul. In other words, they are 'natural born extraordinary people'. Because when they were born, they had already obtained the first curse. The effect It's like setting up a curse that is 'always effective until death'.
"This curse will not attract the curses deposited in the gray mist, it will only accelerate their growth. Another advantage of it is that it can etch an extra inscription.
"Not on the surface of the body, but in the soul. This will also bring risks, but this is also an opportunity. Because the inscriptions etched in the soul will inevitably change the essence of the soul... This will directly change their talents.
"But what specific inscription corresponds to what effect, and what role it will play in different spells... I am afraid that only the mysterious lady can know."
I see.
Annan nodded.
He probably has an idea of how he got the reverse inscription...
Considering the residual influence of "Leviathan's breath", this is probably the inscription that the mysterious lady etched for herself.
That is to say, something may have happened between the time "Annan Cold Winter" threw himself into the sea and Annan himself woke up from the sea.
This incident allowed Annan to be saved, and he also got the reverse inscription engraved for him by the mysterious lady, which transformed the original "Winter Heart" into a brand new bloodline ability that no one had ever had.
Although Benjamin said very modestly that he didn't know much, but you don't know much...
"Thank you very much. I have no problem."
Annan came back to his senses and replied respectfully to Benjamin.
Benjamin hummed, and added in a low voice: "I heard your conversation with Sir Silver...
"If you want to come to the capital, remember to call the person in the mirror first. I can temporarily change your appearance. Also, if the fourth prince wants to return to the capital...
"Remember to remind him that no matter what, the Geraint family will and will only obey the king's direct orders."
And it doesn't matter who is doing it on the throne....
Annan understood the second half of Benjamin's unspoken words.
He nodded: "I see."
