Chapter 9 What Bad Thoughts Can a Kitten Have?
Although he hasn't talked to Hugo Tower Master yet, Annan has roughly guessed... Hugo Tower Master probably wants to pass the tower master position to Salvatore.
When fighting the Lingling Monk before, Tower Master Hugo burned too many souls in order to further stimulate the power of his own elements.
With frontal combat power alone, even with the Philosopher's Stone, "Spiritual Monk" Bernardino is completely unable to fight "Fire Stealer" Hugo.
Hugo Tower Master is not just an ordinary golden-rank wizard.
He is the most powerful transformation wizard with the strongest direct combat effectiveness in the world. The ever-burning holy fire fueled by wisdom and will can directly burn the soul regardless of all defenses.
Any matter that tries to stand in his way is distorted into other forms by his transmutation spells.
Incombustible rock formations will be turned into dry trees, and solid metal walls can also be turned into corals—and after the holy fire falls on the body, as long as there is still thinking and a clear will, this high-heat holy fire will turn the soul into Burn, burn forever.
Therefore, even the Lingling monk who brought a bunch of targeted spirit bodies back then never thought of defeating Hugo directly.
Even in that case, if Hugo was a little crueler and burned all his students to death with holy fire... As long as they are not made into materials for the Philosopher's Stone by the spiritual monk, the fully equipped spiritual monk will even Being directly counter-killed by Hugo, he couldn't even run away.
At that time, the spiritual monk who had obtained infinite blue, all he could do was wait until Hugo's life was burned out.
...But using one's own limited elemental power to fight against the spirit-bearing monk who can be continuously replenished is still a very consuming act for Hugo Pagoda Master.
At that time, according to Sir Silver, Hugo could burn his soul and maintain the offensive in his heyday for about fifty-two hours.
And Annan only took one day to prepare everything and kill the Zedi Black Tower.
The owner of Hugo Tower also told Annan at the time that he could live for at least several years.
At least he can survive until Salvatore advances to gold and can protect Salvatore to complete the inheritance ceremony.
It's only been half a year now.
... On the side of Tower Master Hugo, did something unexpected happen?
Although Annan didn't want to casually think of others as dying...but Hugo suddenly asked Annan to come to him, and he didn't want Salvatore to know,
That's probably what happened.
Annan has never been a person who likes to do unnecessary things.
Since Hugo told him this, then Annan really didn't mention this matter with Salvatore.
Hugo is an elder, Salvatore's mentor, and a top powerhouse. Most importantly, he is the inheritor of "Fire Stealer" Prometheus, one of the guardians of this world.
Just like Maria.
As the tower masters of the wizard tower, most of them are guarding something, inheriting something, and guarding something.
When the elder called, Annan naturally didn't dare to refuse.
He and "Beauty of Imbalance" Vasika made a little calculation, intending to advance the plan that was originally scheduled for mid-July.
So a little tweaking is required.
Maria and Dmitry cannot leave Cold Winter for the time being, otherwise the Rasputin family will not be stable now.
But Annan could indeed leave first.
Maria has already returned to the Tower of Storms - she has to go back from time to time. So the only candidate who can replace Annan to work overtime is Dmitry.
In fact, in terms of government affairs, there are not too many things that require the Grand Duke's personal signature.
The Hand of Winter, a supervising agency that possesses extremely high power and is only responsible to the Duke of Winter, can to a considerable extent act as the [Deputy Grand Duke] to supervise the regime.
Now that Annan has only just ascended the throne for three months, he hardly communicates with the Winter Hands.
They have not yet realized that Annan has lost control over the life, death, and plunder of the Hand of Winter. And Annan has already begun to arrange for players to mix in—many of the newly recruited players from the same batch as Thirteen Fragrant Huskies can be transferred to Hand of Winter.
Therefore, even if Annan leaves the principality directly, there is no need to worry about any problems in a short time.
Annan had long expected that he would often leave the Dukedom of Winter—except for the two days of December's holy day and Annan's birthday on March 14th, he had to take it with him in the Dukedom of Winter... other times There is no problem even if you leave.
For the sake of "safety" that he had been assassinated before, Annan, as a "fifteen-year-old weak boy", refused any private meetings under non-essential circumstances.
What is necessary, you ask?
Then you should ask His Highness Dmitry first to see if this elder brother of His Majesty Annan thinks your situation is necessary.
——As a result, under Dmitry's overtime work, almost all the work was stopped by Dmitri. Dmitry had complained to Annan before.
Because he has heard some strange rumors, it is said that His Royal Highness Dmitry has emptied his young brother...
"Hey, have I emptied you? I have actually emptied you, right? You let me make up my own mind about such important matters. Could it be that I am the Grand Duke of Rin Dong? But if it was you, you wouldn't I don't care about the government affairs in winter...but why do I still have to handle government affairs for you without even taking a vacation?"
Are all the overhead people working so hard these days?
Mr. Dmitry's voice was full of fatigue and discontent.
Obviously, he is not as good at overtime as Salvatore.
But he will always grow.
Annan cast a loving look at his brother who was complaining so much.
——Sooner or later, Dmitry will adapt to this state of Annan not doing anything. Then he won't complain.
Annan has not appeared in an informal setting for a long, long time.
The next event that requires Annan to attend in person will be the Hutting Day on October 10. On this day, all farmers need to sacrifice some rotten plants prepared in advance to the earth in the name of moth mother, so as to increase the fertility of the soil.
Because this is an important ceremony that directly involves the two gods, the rulers of all countries and the pope must attend and speak.
In other words, Annan can spend four months outside at the latest before returning home...
But Dmitry really didn't have to stay so long.
In another month, after Annan's problems in the underground city are resolved, he will be able to pick up Dmitri and Maria for a "family outing" and head to the United Kingdom.
Leave the whole mess of the principality to Vasika and let her go fishing.
Instead, she would put on a good show and force out those who were recorded in Annan's notebook. When they are crazy to the extreme, the old grandmother will wake up from the dream in a daze.
When her old man opens his eyes, he will see her innocent and weak offspring being bullied by a group of old things laughing wildly——
What bad thoughts can a kitten have?
Of course, Annan is not talking about himself.
Instead, it refers to Vasika.
Because Vasika is really a kitten...
If Annan hopes to rebuild the Great Barrier and unite the five countries, then that time is also the best time. So Annan planned to at least go to every country before the old grandmother woke up to see for himself what was going on.
A void invasion could happen at any moment, and the worm seems to have escaped.
It seems very peaceful now...but only a few people know that the crisis is approaching.
Theoretically, the Theocracy should have the best countermeasures...but it is obviously impossible for them to chat with the players.
At that time, Annan still had to make a trip himself.
Anyway, staying in the Dukedom of Winter, there is nothing to do. Considering that His Excellency Hugo has already started summoning Annan, his body may not be able to last for a long time—and Annan has been in the cold winter for two months since he returned from the Kingdom of Noah in early April, and he is indeed a little restless up.
So Annan made a decisive decision——
Go to Noah to play again... Bah, I went to Noah on a business trip.
Annan himself can leave with the Winter Evidence that has degenerated into a "two-color scepter".
And Dmitry was left behind to handle government affairs for him, and by the way, all other placers were blocked outside.
In order not to startle the snake, Annan did not bring any "Ten Fingers" or a Winter Hand with him on this trip, but only followed the two strange-looking players, Shisanxiang and Husky, and set foot on the "homecoming" subway together. .
——Of course, Annan did not report this matter to Maria.
Because she would definitely not agree.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the ubiquitous "storm", Annan even put on the strongest makeup when he left the Grand Duke's mansion——
After a long absence, he turned into the appearance of [The Last Work] David.
In the end, if he was accidentally discovered, it would be Dmitry who was beaten anyway.
Just like when an elder brother takes his younger brother to an Internet cafe, the elder brother is the one who gets beaten; when the younger brother goes to the Internet cafe by himself, it is the elder brother who gets the beating.
At this point, Maria's thinking has been very flexible since she was a child...
