Chapter 102 "The Shield of Never Falling" And "Professor Gray"

Annan blinked.

Hesitant to speak.

Twelve obvious injuries all over the body, and the back of the head was smashed by a heavy sword - in this case, can it be judged as suicide by magic?

How did he smash the back of his head with a heavy sword? Toss it into the sky and then jump up to catch it?

That's too accurate.

This is second only to being shot in the back of the head with hands and feet tied.

——Is it a suicide using the Rube Goldberg device?

"The result of the spell should be correct."

Longjingcha pointed to the newspaper and explained: "Look...because this result was too bizarre, no one believed it at the time. So many wizards and ritualists came to verify it. Even the 'Shield of Infallibility' Justus Teacher, "Professor Grey" Seti."

……and many more.

"'Professor Grey' Seti?"

Annan raised his brows and murmured with some doubts.

Isn't Seti's title "Bone Healer"?

Or, did this happen before Master Seti became the Bone Healer?

More than just an illusion.

Maybe overthinking...

Hearing the word "Professor Gray", Annan immediately thought of "Professor Wolf".

speak up.

Professor Wolf was removed from his family name and changed his name to "Professor Wolf" shortly after this?

Is he... trying to rub "Professor Gray" Seti's enthusiasm?

Such an idea popped into Annan's mind for the first time.

He became a little cautious.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look."

"Um."

Longjing Tea responded and handed the newspaper to Annan. Annan spread the old newspaper on the table and carefully checked the old records.

Dove on the side also put the cat's head on Annan's arm and focused on the newspaper together.

Chocolate also put his head on Annan's shoulder, pretending to be, staring at the newspaper with his eyes blank, and his pupils didn't even move from side to side.

"……what?"

After reading it up and down twice, Annan was a little surprised.

There was no mention of "Frederick Melvin" in the newspapers.

Only mentioned above, Justus received a rather mysterious mission. A great man named him into the Cinder Barrens in search of a spell.

This task is actually quite strange.

Because the coal barren land at that time was uninhabited - it had just been destroyed by magma, and it should be a barren place.

In other words, there should be no danger in looking for something here. Of course, it may be buried by lava... so the most difficult part should be digging it out.

——Then you shouldn’t be looking for the [Shield of Unfallen] at all.

"The Shield of Unfallen", as a very young golden rank extraordinary person, is also the most proud disciple of "Professor Gray". He is particularly good at bodyguard and security work, and his physique is extremely tough - he can even resist the lava attack of the Balrog with his flesh, and is a strong man who can swim in the lava.

Usually it is the invasion of subterranean monsters, or the protection of some big person.

With his own body alone, he can protect innocents from being seriously injured.

"... Lian Neng messenger?"

Annan muttered.

Fortunately, the extraordinary people in the underground world live on the bright side. This newspaper can write so clearly.

——[The Shield of Unfallen] Justus is the gold that advanced from the silver-level profession "Linkage Courier".

As early as "Nightmare: The Gallery," Annan saw the profession.

"Linked Energy Messenger" can transfer energy to each other within the visible range. Extract the life force of a certain person and use it to heal another person; or extract the mana pool of most wizards and concentrate it on a wizard.

This is a serious tool job.

No matter it is any country or any force, such extraordinary people are very welcome. As generals, they can truly "twist the power of everyone into a single rope".

But on the other hand...because this profession is too practical and too instrumental.

If you want to use this profession to advance to gold, the difficulty is even greater.

When life is comfortable and happy, it is difficult to break everything that exists and ascend to a higher, stable and pure "desire to ascend".

But the Shield of Unfallen did it.

At the golden level, he is like a patron saint walking in the world.

He can transfer the trauma that others have suffered to himself; or transfer the attack that is about to fall on his teammates to himself in advance.

Then draw the enemy or the power of nature to heal yourself quickly.

Whether it's the heart being pierced, the limbs being broken, the skin falling off, the spine being pulled out... As long as there is still a breath of injury, Justus will not die.

He is like a human-shaped shield.

As long as he exists there, standing on the earth.

Even if the people around were submerged by the barrage, covered by the rain of fire, and pierced by the assassin's heart, cut the throat and smashed the brain, they would not suffer any harm.

To put it simply, as long as it is the person that Justus wants to protect... Unless the target is taken directly out of Justus's field of vision, the extraordinary person below the golden level cannot kill it.

——Justus is the guardian who can give people such a strong sense of security.

Whether it's protecting militia against monsters, fighting natural disasters, or escorting others into dangerous areas...

As long as he stands with Justus, his teammates are equivalent to opening a "blood lock".

"……what?"

Annan frowned slightly.

- This is not right.

If Justus' vitality is so tenacious...

How could he have been knocked down by a simple backstab? How could he have such obvious injuries?

"It seems suspicious."

Dove said softly.

Her cat head moved slightly on Annan's arm, raised her head and looked at Annan: "Your Highness, are you here to purify this nightmare?"

"Um."

Annan nodded, still thinking.

If the task is to find something... then it's possible to go with Frederick. An idol wizard looking for something may not be as quick and immediate as a prophet wizard, but it is much easier to judge.

As long as he "can find this thing in the future", the prophet wizard can get this result immediately; but in the same way, if he can't find this thing... that is, when the probability of completing this thing is low to a certain extent, the prophet The sorcerer's divination is ineffective.

But idol wizards are different.

They have the means to reverse the consequences. Even if this thing is hidden hundreds of meters underground, as long as the ability is strong enough, it can be "searched" directly.

From this point of view, Frederick may have been found by Justus after he accepted this task.

... Then, the possibility of pre-arranging traps for murder doesn't seem to be that high.

You know, at that time Frederick had not yet reached the golden stage.

He only advanced to gold after being expelled from the family.

At this time, he was just a silver-rank idol wizard... while Justus was a gold-rank meat shield profession.

Maybe Frederick's output is at full strength, and he's not as good as Justus.

That also murdered a hammer.

"But Justus was murdered, that's true. And it was a perfect murder, and no one found out what Frederick had done for so many years... He even went through this ritual, from the tragic writer In exchange for strength."

Longjingcha concluded: "It seems that there is no way to gather intelligence outside of nightmares.

"Does this nightmare have any clues? For example, where can I get the key or something... I think I might have to enter the nightmare to collect more information."

"Unfortunately, no."

Annan shook his head helplessly: "Me and Naifei came here to find the 'key'.

"Since the truth has not been made public for so many years... Even Justus' death at the hands of Professor Wolf is a secret. So I guess the key here must not have been discovered.

"In other words... if Professor Wolf didn't purify this nightmare, we would most likely have to purify a brand new nightmare that no one has ever purified."

In other words, you have to start with the step of finding the "key".

"—The first step, you can already skip it."

A low voice came from the room.

Annan felt that Dove in his arms exploded instantly, Yu Feng Goose suddenly opened his eyes and cast his sharp and bright eyes over, Longjing Cha frowned slightly, took a deep breath and was ready to use the edict spell at any time.

But at this moment, they suddenly reacted.

This voice... seems a little familiar?

"Pause."

Annan blocked their work.

He was a little surprised and looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room.

Or, look at the person walking out of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"Benjamin... Your Highness?"
