Chapter 172 Arthur's Heart of Nothingness

The latest website: Ingrid's ceremony was not arranged on herself from the very beginning—it was placed on "Celesia" as a stand-in!

Why did Ingrid suddenly start stalling for time?

What is the secret of "only need to procrastinate to win"?

In fact, it has nothing to do with where she is or what she does...

Even if Annan led the players to defeat all of Ingrid's followers, it would not help at all.

Those menacing "ex-boyfriend legions" are just stand-ins thrown out to attract Annan's attention.

That was Ingrid's conspiracy—or rather, it was part of the "ceremony".

From "Poisonous Hands" to the cargo ship "full" of demon blood... Ingrid has been hinting that Annan has a lot of subordinates and has special skills for players.

This is precisely for Annan to call the players over.

And if Annan wants to cover up the existence of the players, he must call back the Silver Brigade—or, in other words, the main one, Ophelia Denisoa.

It's also because Annan is a good man... It is impossible for him to sell Celesia to Officia as a bargaining chip. So he will definitely call everyone back together.

When Arthur Scorching Tooth and Selicia, who had awakened and cut off all ties with "Shoronic", got together again, Ingrid's ritual had already begun to take effect!

"I think, you should also know..."

Annan looked at Arthur meaningfully.

"Why did 'Celecia' contact you first? The reason is very simple, because the real target that Professor Wolf is looking for is you. The others are just a cover to distract the gods. Or Said, they are used to 'compete' Celesia with you, so as to catalyze the 'love' in your heart.

"—Then, what's so special about you?"

Arthur was silent.

His face became cloudy and uncertain, and his nails were clenched and cut deeply into his palm. His blood flowed out and dripped on the ground, and the "hot blood" easily melted and ignited the floor.

And the cold air spreading from Annan's side,

Then the ignited floor will be instantly extinguished and frozen.

He is no fool.

Even on "Silver", except for Lucia who likes to hide secrets and thoughts in her heart and not tell others, he has always been the smartest one, and has always been the one responsible for giving ideas to others.

When Annan spoke halfway, he actually understood it.

It's just that at that time, he didn't want to admit it.

And when Annan finished speaking.

Arthur knew...he could no longer escape.

"The reason why I was chosen is probably because... I actually really know Ingrid."

Arthur Burning Tooth said slowly: "If I'm not wrong, she should be the son of the tower of the Lava Forbidden Tower generation!"

He finally understood everything.

My own life full of pain and twists and turns.

It's just a pawn swinging in the hands of others.

"...it's been like this from the very beginning."

Arthur said in a low voice: "I'm afraid, since I came into contact with her...everything is doomed."

The greatest talent of being an excellent destruction wizard - it is Arthur's inner peace that is almost nothingness, the peace that will not really get angry even if anything happens.

In order not to let their anger get to the extreme, the Burning Tooth family will cultivate their "arrogance" from an early age. When they think "I don't care" about many things, they can be regarded as controlled sabotage wizards, not humanoid nuclear bombs.

But even so...

Deep in Arthur's almost nothingness, there was also a cloud of anger that gradually became angry.

It's not just about being deprived of your talents.

Everyone around him, everyone he knows, is just a pawn played by chess players at will. It can even be said that they were killed precisely because of Arthur...

——Their lives were changed and led astray precisely because of their own existence.

Just the fact that "I didn't play well and hurt my teammates" would make Arthur feel extremely embarrassed.

And the fact that I just "exist" has harmed others...

It is something that the proud Arthur absolutely cannot tolerate.

"--Not only that."

Annan calmly replied: "It's more because, only you - nothing.

"You actually don't want anything. In the entire Silver Brigade, only you are an outlier...you almost don't want anything."

When Annan said this, he raised his voice and said, "Recall the nightmare in the Principality of Sangsong. Among you, there is only Arthur——only his wish, 'it will come naturally'.

"And apart from him, everyone's deepest wish is to 'distort one's life from the very beginning'. In other words, only 'rebirth' or 'in another parallel time and space' can accomplish that kind of thing.

"Only Arthur - he needs nothing.

"Because his life is actually quite complete. His initial wish was to conform to the expectations of others and become the Lord of the Tower. But when Arthur left the family, he actually no longer longed for that position.

"In other words, Arthur's desire is 'empty'.

"He originally had the possibility to advance to gold. Because if Ingrid hadn't intervened, he would have been the tower master of this generation...and this is enough to prove his talent.

"The reason why he couldn't become the master of the tower was not because he suddenly became a good-for-nothing male protagonist. The disappearance of his 'scarring teeth marks' was only the least important reason...he was framed and injected The devil's blood is the most important issue."

Demon's blood is a very rare spell material, which can only be obtained if you have a close connection with the fallen.

And the blood of the devil can indeed strengthen the effect of destroying spells.

——The most important thing is that there are indeed some people in the Burning Tooth family who once took refuge in the Fallen.

And not one or two, but about a quarter have chosen the path of the Fallen.

They are generally weak-willed, unable to contain the desire to destroy when they learn the destruction spell, and cannot bear the desire to accidentally kill people or destroy important buildings.

For ordinary extraordinary people, it is not a problem.

But sabotage wizards generally act as "mediators" and become convinced people.

If innocent people are killed indiscriminately, they no longer have the authority to mediate.

In other words - they will be unemployed from now on, at least they will no longer be able to enter the Denisaua Privy Council. Even if it's just a "membership meeting"... directly fall back to mortals.

Because of this, many people simply choose to show bad.

Anyway, the growing desire to destroy cannot be restrained at all, and they can't turn back after killing someone-then it is better to defect and vent their desire to destroy at will as a mercenary.

But wizards who have reached the silver rank can no longer turn back and enter the path of degeneration. Therefore, many of them will not be able to truly become degenerates throughout their lives—so they will train their children so that they will choose the path of degeneration when they are at the bronze level, rather than the sublimation of "destroying human desires" way.

This forms another branch.

They live outside and are far from the great power held by the Burning Tooth Clan, but they can still be regarded as "Scorching Tooth". Because of the scorching tooth family's incomparably conspicuous appearance, many of the crimes they committed would be attributed to the scorching tooth family.

Therefore, the topic of "The Fallen" is very tense and sensitive on the side of Burning Fang.

Although Arthur was too unlucky, there was a high probability that he did nothing and was framed... But the elders couldn't believe even the possibility of "joining the traitor".

Because, if those fallen people think so, because they may appear, "This kind of thing is unlikely, so Arthur must be innocent and framed", so they deliberately let Arthur return to the family?

This is also entirely possible.

"That is to say, Arthur's talents have not been damaged at all. It was only because of political considerations that he was deprived of the possibility of inheriting the wizard's tower."

Annan said slowly: "Because of this, his youthful wish...that is, the wish of 'inheriting the position of the Lord of the Tower and personally making this country better' could not be fulfilled.

"After that, Arthur lost his 'Golden Soul'.

"And as long as Arthur is full of desire again... he can advance to gold at any time.

"So, under what circumstances...will Arthur have the desire for power again? Especially, this desire comes from 'his love for Celesia'."

Annan looked at Ao Feishi as if pointing something.

--no doubt.

It's now.
