Chapter 84 The Tranquility Before the Storm
After setting a date with Nefertari, Annan left the Ashwood alone.
Of course, Annan couldn't say nothing, immediately put down all his arrangements, and rushed directly to the bone-cultivation ground with Nefertari.
That would seem too diligent.
That would give people a bad feeling.
Maybe there will be a feeling of "Am I being calculated".
Even if it doesn't, it's only up to the "whose idea" itself. As long as he has such thoughts, no matter whether he says it or not, whether he tells others or not, the quarrel and doubt will continue to breed in his heart.
...and Annan actually couldn't go there at all.
Because he hasn't reached the golden stage yet.
Whether it is his main body, or the stand-in "Ghirlandaio" is a silver rank. Although Nefertari could not determine his specific rank, Seti the Bone Healer could definitely see it.
But okay.
After all, Annan has the blessing of the Book of the Sky Train, and it is very simple to purify the nightmare.
After the players have all gone to the underground world, Annan can even explore the way through the players. If you find a simple and easy-to-play nightmare, just play it once or twice, and quickly raise your level.
Fortunately, Nefertari's elder brother, Alfonso, the "Holy Thief", was relatively stubborn.
- He can go on for a while longer.
It is currently mid-February.
Nefertari told Annan that he would come to see her in mid-June.
They will arrive at the bone farm at the end of June, and they will be tested three or four days before July 1.
At that time, the winter defying Vladimir will also come.
On July 1st, which is Miss Luck's holy day - "Big Lucky Day", they will hold a ceremony to replace Alfonso's spine in batches and transplant the power of the holy skeleton.
From July 1st to July 7th, a total of seven days of long surgery.
This kind of operation is done in seven days, which is obviously much more difficult and dangerous than doing it quickly.
- This is to make up "seven".
Just as "three" is a mysterious number, the effect of the ritual can be enhanced by stacking the number of "three" in the ritual; "seven" is a lucky number.
In a ceremony where the result cannot be determined, the success rate can be effectively improved by stacking the number of "seven" in the ceremony field.
For example, there are seven ritualists and seventy-seven participants, who use the seven-pointed star as the main base to perform the ritual, using seventy-seven ritual materials, seven small rituals, seven mantra materials, etc. wait wait wait.
To determine the level of a ritualist, it is often to see how many "powerful numbers" he can incorporate into a fixed ritual. And how to add the required spells, without affecting the effectiveness of other spells, and without disrupting the "counting method" that you have planned.
Therefore, ceremonies optimized by clever ceremonial masters often have some strange and complicated details. The ritual effect is often determined by these details.
According to Seti's calculations, only by extending the inheritance time to this extent... Alfonso can get enough "lucky" and have a chance to survive with the power of the remnants of the holy bones.
It's just a chance.
Even if Seti was helping him survive, the spine could be cut out piece by piece without anesthesia. It was a test both for him and for the "successor".
If Alfonso can't survive and die, Annan's side will be simpler. Because then there is no need to delay for seven days, and a quick decision can be made.
But if Annan can't hold it, then Alfonso will be buried with him... Without a soothing "pool" that gradually drains his power, Alfonso will explode directly.
This is like the difference between slowly venting the air in the balloon from the mouth of the balloon, or puncturing the mouth of the balloon directly.
Therefore, the selection of suitable candidates must be strict enough.
Alfonso has no second chance.
It can only be tested by the qualified people one by one before the ceremony begins.
even though,
Annan can directly hand over his blood or hair to Nefertari, and it is also possible for her to take it to the remote test... but that is too dangerous.
In this world, just by knowing the other party's real name, you can try to curse and kill.
Just like dragon blood - the blood that is actively given to the other party has its special meaning at the ritual level. This is equivalent to getting the key to the back door, and even the stand-in with the same name may not be able to stop it.
Although Annan's clothes can block a considerable part of malicious rituals.
But he didn't want to use his life to test the other party's ritual level...
Everyone heard it, he asked me to play.gif
And nothing else to say.
The exposure of his true identity alone will also disturb Annan's plan - directly locating his real name with a ritual is much more convenient than DNA testing.
This simple ceremony, even Annan can use.
"...Four months."
Annan muttered.
enough.
It took him about four months to come to this world and rise from a mortal to the silver rank.
In another four months, it will not be a problem to upgrade to the golden rank.
The teleportation point on Delicious Wind Goose has been successfully opened not long ago.
On the sporozoite mill side, it will be over in a week at most.
After that, Annan will send a task to the players... Let them spread from the underground city to various towns to open teleportation points.
And by then, it's almost time to recruit new players.
March 1.
This is the opening time for a new round of testing.
The best way to get new players to work when they arrive is to let old players guide them. Form a model of old and new, form a 4+N mercenary group model, take them to purify nightmares, and fight wits and courage with the diggers and wise men in the underground city.
As for the main line for new players...
Although Annan was actually chasing Nicholas II.
But according to Zhi Ji, the more he insisted, the more he could not. Then it's better to set the initial boss as "Vladimir the Winter Defender".
Anyway, in four months, Annan will have to meet each other.
Thoronic is still missing, and Professor Wolf should theoretically be within the scope of the Principality of Winter... But as a wizard of the idol school, he is really able to hide. So much that Maria, who was the daughter of the storm, couldn't hear his voice.
Don't even think about it.
He must be plotting some kind of conspiracy.
But you know it's pointless.
Because he is a believer of tragic writers, the conspiracy he planned and the beneficiary may not necessarily be himself. As long as the conspiracy is "wonderful" enough, his purpose will be achieved.
It can be said to be completely chaotic evil.
He just wanted to do something, but he didn't know who he would stand on and what he would do. Can't even guess.
Annan also asked Dmitry. On the side of Winter, there is really no clue, and for the time being, we can only act prudently and wait for work-this is a more elegant statement.
In other words, just wait for him to gank.
It's okay to wait.
And compared to the Wolf Professor Frederick, whose purpose and position are unknown, Vladimir the Winter Defender is a more important and direct enemy.
This is true both for the current Annan and for the Duchy of Winter.
The old grandmother is about to wake up, which means chaos is coming.
Although it seems that everything is calm at the moment...but it may be the moment of tranquility before the storm.
"...let's develop for a while."
Annan slowly closed his eyes.
On the winter side...I don't really want to go back for the time being.
After summoning the player on March 1, he will conduct a secret investigation. Because of the huge number of players this time, even if the Book of the Sky Train is very good at picking people, but if hundreds of people come in in one breath, it is inevitable that some people will be out of control.
At that time, Annan will first dismiss all unsettled players.
Then wait until the middle of March, go back to the Principality of Winter... Let the Winter Hands make a set of legal and verifiable fake identities for these players.
As for the two weeks leading up to March...
It's still nearby, just clear a few difficult-level nightmares, and train yourself first.
——Soon, these two very quiet weeks passed like this.
Today is still an update, and continue to adjust the work and rest. There may still be an update tomorrow, because I have to go out before 7 o'clock for the medical examination on Monday... So I can resume the update on Monday at the latest, and maybe I can add an update (do Pokemon.jpg)
In addition, thanks to the leader of the ZEROKNIGHT reward! thank you very much!
I owe more hi plus two...but am I really moving woo woo woo (in self-doubt)
Cats still go to bed early and go to bed early, and their lives are critical...
