Chapter 179 Don Juan and Clarence on the Resurrection
...this statement is not quite right. https://
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Having said that, Henry Worden, "the one who opposes himself", appeared in Saltpeter Ranch, probably to deal with the Bloody Hand Brothers.
The mother of the Blood Brothers is apparently a demon related to "blood". Perhaps in addition to inheriting their mother's forbidden knowledge, they also inherited part of the power of demons. It's no surprise that Henry Worden found them.
However, the actions of the saints are usually not so purposeful.
Once their "selfishness" is too strong, they will easily deviate from the original path. Since their state when they were originally accepted by the Holy Bones has changed... they will be easily abandoned by the Holy Bones.
And Henry Worden's behavior is clearly very purposeful.
It can even be said that his actions are a little anxious.
In fact, it didn't take long for Annan to leave Noah... During this time, Henry not only ran to Noah to kill the "Blood Demon", but also quickly ran to the underground world, trying to clear the bloody brothers.
As if he was in a hurry.
Combined with the purpose of this matter itself - he is preventing "sacrifice flesh" from falling into the hands of the Fallen.
So does it mean that he himself has deviated from the way of sacrifice to a considerable extent?
You know, Annan had been paid attention to by "Sacrifice Flesh" when he cleared the Sporogenesis Mill before.
At that time, Annan thought that the "flesh and blood of sacrifice" was temporarily in a state of no owner. Picking the next saint.
But since it still has the saint it belongs to now...
That means that it already has the idea of "jumping jobs".
Someone who is more "sacrificial" than the holder appears, then it may betray the holder at any time. At this time, it is quite dangerous to continue to use the power of the holy bones.
And once the "flesh" part deviates from the holder, it basically means an absolute and immediate fatal injury——
But on the other hand, Henry Worden did not hesitate to take the risk that the holy skeleton might abandon himself, and he also used the power of the holy skeleton to deal with his "death"... This itself is a manifestation of the spirit of sacrifice,
On the contrary, it is impossible that he is about to be abandoned by the holy skeleton.
- This is the "paradox of sacrifice".
Well, there is probably only one answer.
"...Is he dying?"
Annan asked: "The 'one who opposes himself'."
"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"
Salvatore was obviously a little confused: "I think... probably not? If he was thinking of dealing with the funeral, then what he should do is to leave the Great Barrier and enter the depths of the gray fog. "
When the saints perceive that they are about to die, they will enter the depths of the gray fog. On the one hand, it is to prevent the holy skeleton from falling into malicious hands and be forcibly controlled;
Although the types and personalities of saints are various, they are still saints who walk for the world after all.
"No... nothing."
Seeing that Salvatore was unaware of Henry Worden's intentions, Annan didn't intend to implicate him in this sort of thing.
"By the way," Annan diverted the topic. "Isn't that what you wanted to tell me in the first place? What did you want to say?"
"Oh oh yes!"
Salvatore's attention was easily distracted by Annan: "With the help of the Hugo Tower Master, Senior Clarence has been successfully resurrected!"
"Which form of resurrection?"
"Retain the soul and memory, and turn it into a type that is reborn as a fetus."
Salvatore said this and added: "The situation is roughly similar to Don Juan. However, Don Juan was born from a branch with Geraint blood... and Clarence, as a wizard of the silver rank, Soul power is very strong. The tower master found him a good 'mother'."
"Which family is it from?"
"Um……"
After Annan asked this question, Salvatore's expression became a little awkward.
He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "It's...Gerald's house. You know who it is."
"...David Gerald?"
"Yes, it's Gerald's illegitimate daughter. She grew up in an orphanage invested by the tower owner... She also has some ideas about the tower owner, so after learning about this, she He took the initiative to propose this plan-to give birth to a child with Hugo Tower Lord, to resurrect Clarence Senior.
"She undoubtedly has the bloodline of a Soul Reaper Wizard, so the soul power of Clarence will not hurt her body; and the other half of her bloodline is the Hugo Tower Master, so the talent of this body must be quite good."
Salvatore's expression was a bit weird: "But I still think this is a bit weird..."
"Maybe this is fate."
Annan concluded: "But I'd better go back and have a look when I have time."
"...you really want to come back."
Salvatore sighed deeply: "Because one of His Excellency Hugo's curses is 'not to have offspring'. He made an oath of extinction when he was a teenager in exchange for a healthy body of eternal youth.
"When Senior Clarence's new body is born, this spell will be triggered. Originally a counter-curse would not die, but when Lord Hugo fought Bernardino to the death, his soul was almost exhausted. Exhausted... According to my calculations, even if you don't get killed by the anti-curse on the spot, Lord Hugo may die of soul exhaustion within half a year."
In other words... It can also be understood that this is Hugo using his life like a candle in the wind in exchange for the resurrection of his beloved student.
"Is there half a year left..."
Annan muttered.
Salvatore corrected: "It was half a year after the child was born."
"When will the child be born? I'll be back...I still want to name the child."
"I think it's ok," Salvatore laughed when he heard the words. "Have someone as noble as you as their godfather to name them. I think it might make them more fortunate in the future. .
"As for the specific time - Don Juan's last birth date should be in early May. The senior will be a little later, because the child has just been conceived. There will be about eight months, which is around the end of this year."
"It's all after Kaphne ascended the throne...then I should be fine."
Annan nodded: "I will go back to watch the ceremony. I have already prepared the gift for Don Juan."
According to winter etiquette, the godfather should give the newborn a precious gift that has a strong connection with the godfather.
And the gift that Annan prepared was [Annan's Sabre].
This was originally the noble sword of Don Juan Geraint. It accompanied Annan for a long time and helped Annan get through the predicament of lacking everything when he had just recovered his memory and entered the second week.
And Annan used it many times to use frost swordsmanship, soaking the blade with the element of frost. It was later supplemented by Salvatore, who made it into a cursed sword with the curse of "Arctic Cut".
[Arctic cutting: When it causes "cutting" damage to living enemies, it can cause additional frost damage that is difficult to dispel; when it causes "cutting" damage to ghosts and spirit-type enemies, this damage can be used Fully converted into frost damage]
Later, after Annan used it to use the "Brilliant Sword", it officially changed from dark blue to purple.
At the same time, a new feature has been added:
[Sword of Victory: This sword was used by Annan Lindong, and the glory of victory is infiltrated in the sword. Its nobility and reverence are better than dazzling gold. 】
Although there is no actual blessing, it seems to be regarded as a "noble thing" because of this. It can be used in similar ceremonies instead of scepters, rings, crowns, etc.
After Annan ascended the throne, this thing was of little use to him.
This was originally a temporary spell created for spirit bodies.
What he likes to use more is his "inexhaustible and inexhaustible" boning knife.
This sword was originally Don Juan's sword.
Re-giving Don Juan's reincarnation... This can also be regarded as a reincarnation of fate.
"By the way, senior," Annan suddenly thought of what he wanted to ask at first, "Is your magic mirror still there? It won't be burned in the black tower, will it?"
"That wouldn't be true, but it was originally something that belonged to Teacher Benjamin. Later, the teacher took it away, and it seemed to be used for a very important thing... Because the teacher's expression was so serious at the time that it was a little scary, so I didn't have it. Ask more."
Salvatore explained.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want to use it? I think you should tell the teacher and he should borrow it from you."
"Well, let's talk about it later."
Annan nodded.
In fact, compared to the use of the magic mirror itself... what Benjamin will do with it is what makes Annan more concerned.
"First investigate this group of assassins who are two versions behind, and then go and ask Benjamin..."
As for Brother Bloody Hand and Captain in the Stone...
Annan hesitated, but decided to ignore it for the time being.
He really couldn't get his hands on it.
- He believes in the abilities of the players.
This kind of thing should be able to be done.
