Chapter 203 The Great Curse: Siren of 3

Putting the tableware on the table, Annan followed Grand Duke Ivan into the secret room of the Grand Duke's mansion.

This is not to avoid outsiders, but to avoid the Hands of Winter.

Even the Hand of Winter, who owns the ring, is at most only allowed to know the fact that "the Archduke's three-color scepter is itself a great-level curse" - this is beneficial for them to help the Archduke protect this treasure.

But the deeper secret...including the true name and effect of this spell, they are not allowed to know.

This is necessary to maintain domination and tradition.

"And another reason... is actually to protect them."

Grand Duke Ivan's pupils looked at Annan calmly: "Last year, I was actually not sure whether you could inherit the throne of Grand Duke.

"It's not because of anything else. It's because you reversed the blood-bound power of the 'Heart of Winter' - this is indeed a must for you to use the Book of the Sky Train. But it may cause you to not be able to hold it. This scepter... has at least half of its powers that you cannot use."

"Winter Heart" is indeed a cruel curse.

But it is also a protection.

Not for anything else—but to protect from being deceived by the curse of this great curse.

Annan was stunned.

In an instant, the many subtle oddities that remained in his cognition were connected like lightning in his mind.

I see……

No wonder the old grandmother kept this curse rooted in her bloodline, while watching his children wither and suffer all the time in the world; no wonder they lost this curse immediately after they died.

No wonder the power brought by this curse is not so powerful, as if it is just to prevent people from dying; no wonder Archduke Ivan obviously has the highest-level talent of [Blood of Winter], but he still firmly chooses not to become extraordinary. By.

I'm afraid it's different from Annan and the other three...

Ivan should have known the secret of the three-color scepter at a very young age.

Then Ivan never said it, maybe because...

"...The price of carrying this curse is terrifying?"

"That's right."

Ivan said slowly.

He removed his hand from the scepter.

"It's useless to talk too much."

He simply replied: "You can feel it yourself."

...you just let me try?

Then if something goes wrong with me, can you kick me away from this scepter with your current body...

Annan slandered.

But he was smart enough to say nothing.

Annan was only tentative - cautious, imitating Ivan's movements and pressing his hand lightly on the scepter.

Annan's muscles twitch for fear that it might be electrified, or have a similar effect. Instead of reaching inside the ring to prevent "sucking", Annan gently held the outside of the ring.

It's totally different from what you imagined.

He didn't even see the attributes of this curse in front of his eyes.

And Annan didn't feel the slightest pain - on the contrary, he felt a very strong sense of comfort.

Like being touched by an invisible warm hand, an almost serene sense of peace, joy, and laziness strikes me. Annan squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep immediately, as if everything had reached its final perfection, as if everything in the world didn't need to be concerned anymore...

"—Wake up, Annan."

Suddenly, Annan felt a soft thrust coming from in front of him.

Annan did not protest at all.

It wasn't until Ivan pushed him away from the scepter that Annan woke up instantly as his hand left the scepter.

The feeling of drowsiness filled his heart with vigilance.

It even reminded him of the reassuring, slow-moving aroma that came from the rotten when he first met him.

"……what is that?"

Annan asked cautiously: "Is this the effect it holds...or is it a curse?"

"All."

Ivan replied briefly: "This is one of the forms of this scepter.

"You turn it upside down and try it."

"...Upside down?"

"That's right. Put the cross and the ring at the end, and change the three-pronged to the upper end—that is, take it upside down... Try it out, can you use it that way?"

Ivan said solemnly: "If I can, I will tell you its name. If it still doesn't work, I can only pass it on to Dmitry.

"Even if he is infertile...but that is no way. Only in this way can the existence of this 'great thing' be hidden. But Dmitri is too simple and easy to be used. In that case, I I will find a way to make you stand up for him... and let you quickly have a child and adopt him as the heir."

"...I don't need to say so much, I'll try it first."

When Annan heard the marriage urging, he was a little worried.

He interrupted Ivan's statement, took a deep breath and looked at the scepter solemnly.

Then he slammed it up-suddenly picked it up, and with the last of his wits, turned the scepter upside down.

"……what?"

At that moment, Annan couldn't help but whisper.

An extremely cold breath came out of the scepter and flowed all over the body in the blink of an eye.

Different from the sleepy and peaceful warm current before. This cold snap washed away all the sleepiness Annan held.

But that did not make Annan feel the pain of the cold, but made him shiver, as if all the blood vessels in his body were connected, and his mind became very clear in an instant.

"...It seems that you are more suitable for the attitude of [Tyrant]."

Ivan glanced at Annan's eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"tyrant?"

"It's one of its two forms."

Ivan explained: "The real name of this great thing is [Three Siren]. It has two different forms, the [Dark Lord] who makes people feel infinite joy, and the [Tyrant] who makes people feel infinite rage. …”

In fact, there is no need to say the latter.

The moment Annan heard the name [Three Siren], the system panel finally appeared in front of him:

【Three Sirens: Tyrant】

[Type: Supreme Certificate (Orange)]

[Description: The proof of the authority of the elf king in the past is made with the lives of innocents, the souls of sinners, and the will of saints. Those who try to get the power of this curse will only become a fool or a tyrant. 】

[Description: The reversed siren will turn you into a tyrant. 】

[Effect: The wielder will suffer from the curse of "Doubtful Heart", "Infinite Fury", "Crazy Blood"]

[Doubtful heart: You will always doubt and envy others until you summon "Zhenyin"; but if you don't do this, then you will get three times the efficiency of learning, training, and growth (your experience acquisition and attribute growth) The speed is increased to three times)]

[Unlimited fury: You will always fall into an irreversible fury until you summon "Clearing"; but if you don't do this, all damage you do to others is tripled unconditionally (when holding a scepter, your All damage increased by 200%)]

[Blood of Madness: You will fall into madness from time to time, and random negative emotions will be extreme until you summon the "white woman"; but if you don't do this, then you will be able to permanently control the will of the three supernatural beings (only use Three times, it can only be used on superhumans; each time it is used, it can permanently rewrite the mind of a superhuman of the golden level and below, but there is a one-third chance to turn it into a fallen person of the same level)]

"...This is a great-level curse?"

Annan's mentality is somewhat complicated.

Is it powerful?

Indeed, very powerful. Undeniably powerful.

But it seems, not so... irreplaceable?

Compared with the power attached to it, the curse it has is even more unbearable. If Ivan picks up the "Tyrant" Sanno Siren, I am afraid that he will immediately become a terrifying tyrant.

That is to say, Annan holds the "reversed winter abundance" in order to nullify its negative effects.

...and so on, its "upright" posture should have a completely different effect. But Annan couldn't pick it up at all - the moment he touched the seat, he almost instantly turned into a peaceful and happy fool.

"Actually, you can regard it as a kind of [seal]."

Ivan said slowly: "You should also feel that its power and curse are based on the premise of 'not releasing the siren'. But in fact, it also has another usage, which is to release the scepter's 'three colors' One, summoning a siren. But no one knows what will happen when a siren is summoned..."

"Have the sirens been summoned?"

Annan couldn't help asking.

He does know what a siren is - when he sees these three names, he guesses that this is indeed the "siren" he knows.

It's just that Annan is not quite sure whether the Sirens in this world are consistent with what he knows.

——After all, in this world, even Master Michelangelo has become a god.

"Actually, the sirens were indeed summoned once."

"When is it?"

"It was the year that the capital of Arthurland sank."

Ivan frowned, and said in a serious and deep voice:

"...Just in case, you'd better not be curious."
