Chapter 205 Annan's Rod of Omniscience

It was a very flat, very calm narrative.

Ivan apologized to Annan expressionlessly.

His pale icy pupils were dead and ruthless.

But no matter how Annan listened, he felt that every word was like a silent scream...

It's like stabbing a poisonous blade into the heart.

It was a sigh that couldn't even make a sound.

"I can't even let you continue to maintain control of the Hand of Winter - you can only use the power of the scepter as little as possible, hoping that they will not realize that the Heart of Winter has lost control of the Hand of Winter...

"I also know that this is not easy, especially when you are so young. If you want to suppress these seemingly loyal Hands of Winter, it will become even more difficult. But fortunately, you have obtained the power of [Tyrant], if It is really hard to control, but it is possible to control one or two of them, and then rely on them to indirectly rule over the others.

"There is no need to shy away from the power that can change the minds of others... As long as it is power, it has value in existence. In fact, I also thought of turning the scepter upside down to use the power of a tyrant once, but I finally gave up. My main concern was that I would rely on this power and that I would actually become a crazy tyrant.

"I hope you can understand... The year I took the three-color scepter, I was actually only seventeen years old, fifteen years younger than your brother Dmitri now, and older than your sister Maria. One year younger, and only three years older than you... Now, only two years older than you."

Ivan looked at Annan calmly: "This scepter, this destiny is your birthday present.

"Happy birthday, Annan."

"...Thank you, Father."

Annan was silent for a while before taking a deep breath and thanking him in a low voice.

It wasn't until then that he suddenly remembered that today seems to be March 14th... It's really Annan's birthday.

Even Annan himself forgot about it.

After all, he came into this world less than a year ago. And the previous memory has been wiped out...

Strictly speaking, this is Annan's first birthday since he came to this world.

Annan vaguely felt something surging in his heart.

At the moment of capturing that emotion, there seemed to be a light in his eyes...

— No, that doesn't "seem".

Not a description.

Ivan really saw that there was pure light in Annan's eyes.

It was like the light in a dark, dull cave, looking toward the only light, toward the final exit.

It was a light full of hope—

...that is, the light of the sky train?

Ivan was also in a trance.

"--thanks."

Just as Ivan said "I'm sorry" again, Annan also took a deep breath and thanked him seriously.

But he didn't feel the slightest sadness.

He just raised his head and showed a calm smile: "But I don't have to inherit this fate.

"Father, have you heard a word?"

Annan stretched out his hand again and clenched the three-color scepter.

In that instant, the light in his eyes became brighter, three times better.

"—[Fate is the rut of the sky wheel]. For the sky wheel, a curse based on fate is meaningless."

Annan's tone was as calm as Ivan's, but there was a diametrically opposite will in it.

If Ivan is said to be more sad than death.

Annan This is Enron who holds everything in his hands.

"So I don't believe in fate. What misfortunes, what hardships...I don't think they have come, and they won't come again."

he said in a low voice.

From the secret room, Annan looked down and saw a crystal ball on the table.

Annan moved in his heart and reached out to hold it.

The crystal ball was activated like a living thing - it opened its eyes suddenly.

It's like a huge eyeball, and it can even blink.

The most mysterious place is that no matter from any angle, you can see a human dark gray eyeball with a silver cloud.

With the power of the crane, Annan's data panel appeared in his eyes:

【The All-Seeing Eye of the Faceless Poet】

[Type: Strange Object/Ritual Item (Gold)]

[Description: The crystal ball made by the Faceless Poet can not only be used to carry out precognition rituals, but also dispel or protect all "secrets" within the range]

[Effect: When any light approaches the crystal ball, it will be activated, automatically triggering the "Omniscient Eye", illuminating the surrounding space within fifteen yards, and dispelling all darkness, fog, blindness, and invisibility. The effect is equivalent to Golden Rank Prophet Spell of the same name]

[Effect: Once a day, you can use "complete darkness" once to block the surrounding light and sound. Its effect is equivalent to the silver-level idol spell of the same name, and it lasts for up to three hours. When this effect is turned on, because there is no "brightness", the "Omniscient Eye" effect will be automatically terminated]

[Price: After using "Total Darkness", the holder will lose sight and hearing for three times the duration of "Total Darkness". 】

"This is a spell used to detect whether someone has sneaked into the secret room."

Ivan noticed Annan's gaze, and said casually: "Although it is a god-named curse, it is generally not used... If you like it, take it away.

"Anyway, this secret room will not be used for a long time."

"No, I was just thinking about another thing..."

Annan pondered and whispered: "I suddenly use the three-color scepter upside down, will it make others suspicious? They may not directly realize that this is the great spell of the Principality of Winter, but it must be will perceive it as having a meaning other than a 'symbol of power'.

"Once people are targeted, it will become a lot of trouble anyway. And in order to make them no longer suspicious, I decided to..."

Annan said, slowly placing the crystal ball on the top of the scepter.

The scepter was extremely heavy, and when it fell to the ground, it made a heavy muffled sound like pure copper. But after Annan knew its real name, he wouldn't feel any weight when he held it in his hand.

And this sturdy vine is neither gold nor copper nor wood, it has the toughness of praying, but it has a carapace-like texture when it is carefully touched.

They perfectly fixed the crystal ball on it - even after Annan put the crystal ball on it, the three branches wriggled like a living thing and hugged it even tighter.

The silver-gray eyeballs blinked in a panic, but inexplicably became quiet and closed again.

"It's perfect, it doesn't seem obtrusive at all."

Annan smiled complacently: "When people see this scepter again, they will only focus on the crystal ball. And the scepter under it will become a shelf for placing the 'Omniscient Eye' and be ignored by others. .

"Let the wind go out and say that it was because someone assassinated me - and in order to prevent the assassination, I combined the omniscient eye with the three-color scepter. It made the new scepter of Archduke Winter.

"Looking at it this way, it's quite decent. I remember that some people in the teaching country used huge gems, skulls or crystal balls as the head of the scepter... This is also a tradition, and it won't look awkward. "

- I'm such a genius.

Annan said to himself.

After that, when the secret room was opened again.

The Hand of Winter, who had been waiting outside, noticed that Archduke Ivan left the secret room with empty hands.

The three-color scepter has already fallen into Annan's hands.

So they knelt down, saluted, and saluted Ivan.

"—No gift."

Annan took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm back."
