Chapter 106 Claire and Kim

Obviously it's a ceremony to choose an heir...

But the main quest is "survive"?

Annan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He clearly sensed something deep.

And the other side quests attached to this main quest made him ponder even more——

【Do not fight with anyone】

[Learn everyone's real names]

【At least survive until the remaining four people】

Side quests are elaborations of the main quest.

——In other words, if you fight with other people, or if you don't know everyone's real names... Is it possible that you won't survive?

So in the beginning, what Gerald said, don't believe anyone...

"It's interesting."

Annan muttered, his eyes gradually brightened.

He felt a little excitement...and intense pleasure.

Although he is completely incapable of incapacitating magic, and this body cannot use Annan's own incapacitating spells... but it doesn't matter.

He had a hunch.

This dungeon... may be his home.

Annan no longer hesitated, and put away the bone and blood trigger of Duke Skeleton. Hold up your cane and move forward.

But he didn't move forward for too long, and his footsteps stopped.

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

He had just noticed an inexplicable danger without warning. It was as if he would be killed if he continued to take a step forward.

The perceptive ability of wizards is very good.

So he immediately chose to trust his intuition.

"……Hello?"

At the same time, Annan showed the same gentle smile as Gerald's, and asked tentatively, "Is there anything I can help?"

"If you're willing to turn around and go back, all the better."

The one who answered in a clear and tactful voice was a girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

She has short light brown hair and blue pupils. She wears a small white wool cape and a long-sleeved sweater with cuffs covering half of her palms. She looks very good, but her temperament is a little weak.

But commensurate with it was the snow under her feet—

She did not wear heavy non-slip boots like Annan, but stepped on small red leather boots like a noble lady. Long, slender khaki trousers flared out near the boots.

Strange fluctuations continued to spread from her ankles.

The snow under her feet automatically constrains and condenses into a solid stone pavement.

And beside her, stood a taciturn red-haired boy.

He has beautiful short red hair that is soft and smooth, but the white bandages are thickly wrapped around his eyes, and the sides of his mouth are left with traces left by the sewing thread.

He was wearing a pure white straitjacket that resembled a mental patient, and white bottomless cloth shoes. On his forearms, upper arms, chest, thighs, and between the calves, there are dense, black belt-like fixing belts. However, the buttons on the restraint clothes were temporarily undone, and at least he could walk normally.

He followed behind the girl, and the heat was billowing around him. Those snowflakes melted before they got close to him.

Even though Annan's face was harmless and his tone was gentle, the girl with short brown hair still looked at Annan vigilantly.

"--but I don't think you'd want to do that. Is it . . . Your Excellency David Gerald."

"There's no need to be so nervous, miss."

Annan sighed, his tone was calm and his voice soft: "Even if there is a competitive relationship between us... but now I am just a poor bereaved dog, everyone is yelling and beating. Now I am just your foil... You You don't really think I can win the election, do you?"

With that said, Annan smiled self-deprecatingly. Showing off his embarrassment,

There was a pitiful look like a stray dog ​​on his face: "Can you let me... get closer? I'm too cold, and I was sent over before I was ready... I see that you seem to be warm around you, miss... "

Hearing this, the brown-haired girl subconsciously began to look at Annan.

Although his clothes were neat, they were already a little worn. The hairstyle is naturally not soft and organized, but even messy and embarrassing. He was covered in snowflakes and shivered from the cold.

...that's really pitiful.

The girl's eyes softened a little.

Annan continued to lower his body and said with a smile: "I'm Gerald, now I'm just a waste. No matter which of you wins in the end, it's enough if you can take me in and be willing to give me something to eat.

"If you don't mind... can we introduce ourselves more formally?"

With that said, Annan bowed slightly and bowed to the girl: "This is David Gerald...should be a candidate for the Soul Reaper school.

"Everyone said, I'm not a good person... But I'm really just an ordinary person with no use and no talent."

With that said, Annan gave a wry smile.

——To be honest, under the repeated praise of Annan, if this girl with brown hair still does not give up her vigilance against Annan, then Annan will begin to doubt her identity.

This is the most common chat technique.

Also known as the seesaw principle -

By lowering one's own worth, to raise the worth of the other party... People in a sedan chair carry others. It is especially suitable for the situation where the opponent has a clear desire to attack and beware, but does not tear his face, it can effectively delay the conflict.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. That's what it says.

Seeing Annan showing weakness like this, although she still didn't let go of her vigilance against Soul Reaper, she still stared at Annan's pupils and nodded slowly.

"My name is Claire, a candidate for the School of Plasticity. This is a candidate for the School of Destruction, you can call him... Kim."

By the way, she introduced Annan to the red-haired boy behind her.

Immediately, he sent a polite invitation to Annan: "If it's too cold, you can come closer, Your Excellency. With Jin here, we will be very warm here."

"Ahhh! That's a big thank you!"

Annan looked at her gratefully, then ran over quickly, startling Claire.

But as soon as she became vigilant, she found that "Gerald" really just rushed to her side - or rushed to Jin's side, and Shashiha showed a happy smile, and couldn't help laughing like a self-deprecating smile. laugh.

Such a hilarious poor bastard... what was I just dreading?

Well, there is an extra temporary ally.

Might be better.

She thought of the exhortation from her friend before she left, and sighed silently.

Even if you say that this place is dangerous, but with such a prophecy with no beginning and no end, I can't just change the itinerary that I have prepared for months...

Claire and... Kim?

On the other side, Annan secretly wrote down these two names.

Of course Annan could tell that at least one of the two names was a pseudonym. Or even pseudonyms.

The purpose is nothing more than to shift away the spells of the named nature.

But Annan didn't care much.

after all.

He really doesn't know a soulmate.

All he can use now is the power of words.

You can communicate normally.

For him, it was no different from knowing the other party's real name.

The power of "words" cannot be diverted.

Just like he used a comical way to lower the opponent's vigilance... After all, human energy is limited, and being vigilant in all directions at the same time means that you can't defend anywhere. Moderate clumsiness can often make the other person ignore him.

And Annan clearly knew that he was really the weakest in this group of people...

Seven of the most outstanding silver-level wizards of each school—although they have to add the limited label of "orphan", they are definitely not comparable to Annan, who can't even use a soul-repelling spell.

They followed the two forward for thirty minutes.

Walking on the floor made by Claire is finally not so tired.

Thanks to Annan's unremitting efforts, the three of them finally got to know each other for the time being.

Annan finally learned from Claire's mouth that Jin was not naturally taciturn, but because his words, actions and even his eyes had destructive power that he could not control... So he could only rely on Claire's assistance and protection, Go to the White Tower.

Yes, the two of them knew each other before they came here.

After walking forward for more than ten minutes, Howling Wind White Pagoda appeared in front of them.

And the man waiting in front of the tower made Annan's pupils shrink suddenly.

because that person...

——Like Annan.
