The moment he looked into Annan's eyes, Gerald realized something was wrong.
Contrary to what he thought, the other party is not without feelings...
In the field of vision of "Consciousness Judgment", he can see clearly...
There are not only positive emotions in Annan, but also neutral emotions.
Only all the negativity is missing.
At a glance, it looks like the sun in the sky, shining and brilliant.
Almost blinded Gerald's dog eyes.
you fucking-
He almost cursed out loud.
—Since you don’t have tension and fear in your heart at all, and you never feel such emotions, why do you see such expressions flashing back and forth on your face
And the timing is just right...
Who are you acting for?
And at this moment, Gerald has realized the true identity of the other party——
If not all emotions are missing, but only negative emotions are missing, it is theoretically possible to exist...
The direct descendants of the Grand Duke of Winter have the extraordinary talent called [Winter Heart]; while the church of Lady Silence, the god of darkness and veto, holds the ceremony of engraving the reverse inscription.
If these two abilities are combined, the effect of "lack of negative emotions" can be achieved.
But this may even be lower than the possibility of meeting a god.
Gods occasionally walk on the ground, but in this case, there is only one person in the whole world...
It is said that the blood curse of the Lindong family came directly from the old grandmother. Originating from the bloodline of the true god, the curse contained in it is difficult to resolve, and it is very difficult for newborns to live to the age of seven... That's why they even give their children names when they are seven years old.
Today, there are only one lineage and the last four who inherit the blood of winter—the contemporary Grand Duke and his three children.
… Now there may be only three left.
Among them, there is only one minor.
Ivan Rinwinter's third child, Annan Rinwinter!
Yes…
Gerald finally realized why he saw Annan so familiarly at first.
A few years ago, he was lucky enough to see the face of the "Daughter of the Storm"—except for the completely different temperament, Annan and his sister Maria Lindong looked almost exactly the same when they were young!
...but how could he be here
I don't know when a reverse inscription was engraved, crossed the gray fog, crossed the Black Sea, and arrived at the enemy's kingdom of Noah alone a thousand miles away...
…and pretend to be the son of an earl who is about to be wiped out
What is he planning
Why did you meet me
Gerald was filled with despair.
Fortunately, Annan was not killed, otherwise, once Maria found out... no matter where Gerald fled, she would catch up and kill him.
The more realistic problem is that he found that he couldn't beat Annan.
Although it was also due to the fact that his ability as a soul-stealing wizard was completely blocked, he did fall into absolute decline in front of the two young bronze wizards...
... However, it's not like there's no chance of a comeback.
"wait-"
Gerald opened his mouth immediately.
— Yes, he intends to surrender to Annan and offer his loyalty.
This is the best comeback strategy!
If you can't beat it, join them.
As a Soul Reaper, he can silently change the mind and will of others, and he will definitely help the other party... Whether the other party is expelled to seize power in the future, or plans to carry out some spy program in Noah's Kingdom, he is definitely better than Bronze The wizard Salvatore is much more useful!
Just let him complete the ritual, and you'll—
In the next moment, a strong sense of laziness filled Gerald's mind.
His thinking began to freeze, and his sense of time gradually weakened.
…to…advanced…level…yellow…golden…
"Ah."
Annan chuckled lightly. The gloomy light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and Gerald suddenly froze in place, motionless.
what a strange man...
Annan's eyes flickered.
If Annan guessed correctly, this guy actually wanted to surrender just now.
Maybe he recognized his identity. After all, he is more or less a silver-rank wizard, so he should have some self-esteem... The status of the son of an earl certainly cannot bluff the other party, but the son of a grand duke is different.
- This is not acceptable.
Annan swears that he interrupted Gerald the moment he tried to surrender, it was really not Gerald's experience.
Annan just felt from the bottom of his heart... This is not cool enough.
Even killing Gerald didn't feel exciting enough to him.
—This is the first extraordinary battle for players to officially demonstrate their extraordinary power!
So Annan will not accept surrender.
The possibility of revealing the identity is a trivial matter... This will only make players feel that Annan has clues and depth to dig, and it will also allow players to help them search for the background story of "Annan".
The most critical thing is "personal design". In order to ensure his benevolent, generous, cold-faced, kind-hearted, wise and decisive personality, Annan regretted that he could not let Gerald speak out about his surrender.
—You said that if he surrendered, you would kill him again, are you out of kindness
That's not okay, I'm a good boy now.
I have to hurry up and kill you.
Annan thought calmly in his heart, and the frosty breath swelled out of his body again.
The unmelted frost marks on the ground became obvious again. As Annan moved forward, they gradually soaked the ground and spread to Gerald.
This time, Annan easily pulled Gerald into the range of Frost Nova.
The body of a silver-rank transcendent is quite powerful. In other words, it is very resistant to curses.
Annan's frosty air failed to kill him instantly... So he had to use the extremely cold curse to grab Gerald's throat and seal his eyes, so that even if he woke up from the control of the lazy eye, he could not He couldn't open his eyes without uttering a word.
"—No matter what you want to say to me, whether you want to threaten me or bewitch me, my answer is the same."
Annan showed a resolute look on his face, and said in a cool and pleasant voice: "My answer is to refuse.
"For the people who follow me. For my friends, my seniors... for my subjects, and even more me. I cannot accept the possibility of collaborating with dangerous, cold-blooded and despicable people like you!
"I think you probably sold these black fires to the viscount! Those who attacked me were also sent by you—you are now buried in my ice and your own fire, this is what you should ending!"
Annan babbled forcefully, and put the charges on Gerald.
By this time, Gerald had woken up.
His first thought was:
—How did Annan find out
After that, his second thought was an extremely strong desire to survive.
Whether it is to control Annan, or to shout out his secret and make it public to force him to turn against Salvatore...
Just open your mouth!
But the ten seconds of frost had caused Gerald's internal organs to die, his mouth was blocked, his eyes could not be opened, and the previously announced attack time had already been delayed.
He had no chance of fighting back, so he could only silently stretch his neck in Annan's direction as much as possible, and there was a constant creaking sound from his body—it was the sound of bones gradually cracking.
It's a pity that I can't let you get up and talk to me...
Annan looked indifferently at Gerald, who stretched his teeth and claws, still not losing his vitality, trying to complain silently, and continued to maintain Frost Nova.
If it weren't for his mana value far exceeding that of ordinary people, he would have exhausted the mana in the safe zone by this time, and was on the verge of losing control...
Annan even had the strength to sigh in his heart.
The suppression of the silver rank on the bronze rank is also obvious.
Unless you can destroy all the curses that make the opponent, if you change to an ordinary wizard, you really can't kill the enemy even if you empty the mana...
And when wizards upgrade, they don't add physical attributes.
Would it be more difficult to deal with if he changed to a silver-ranked swordsman class
And Annan's talk is still non-stop, used to "supplement the spare time outside of the fierce battle", so that the picture and the plot appear richer, and there will be no gaps of a few seconds:
"... I didn't kill you just for the truth and justice. I did it for myself, but also for my friend, Salvatore. Although he didn't tell me why. But he told me that the relationship between him and you Only one can live. Then I choose to help my friend unconditionally."
What he meant was to hint to Salvatore: It's almost time to tell me your story later, my friend.
And Salvatore also obviously showed hesitation.
"I'll kill him, Don Juan."
He thought for a long time, finally made up his mind, and said softly.
Annan was suddenly shocked, and looked back with sharp eyes.
—Your kid has been fishing since you signed up for the book, are you ashamed of your experience
"... Do you have to kill him yourself?"
"No, that's not necessary..."
"I can just kill him, but not get the curse on him?"
Salvatore looked at Annan strangely: "That's natural. But, you have no hatred with him, and you won't get any benefit from killing him...
"Because I had to get his spell—this, and I'll make it up to you later."
"How can there be no benefit?"
Annan replied without hesitation.
I want experience - isn't that enough
But unfortunately, this reason cannot be told to Salvatore.
Fortunately, Annan had expected this a long time ago, so he opened the satchel on his waist and took out the "excuse for grabbing experience" that he had carefully prepared before.
— A bloody kitchen knife.
Seemingly realizing something, Gerald suddenly struggled faster.
