Chapter 400: Annan's Relationship with Salvatore
Is Denton the Dream Stealer dead? ”
Annan's tone was a little surprised.
But he obviously didn't trust this frivolity: "Can you be sure that it was really 'Denton' himself who died?" Don't let him escape, do you?
"Have any professionals been sent to examine the corpses and cast spells?"
With the ability of a golden-tier Soul Reaver, it should be possible to replace another person and alter the memories of all witnesses to make others think they are dead.
But Eugene shook his head and denied the possibility.
"He's really dead. And it died very simply. ”
Although the enemy he had planned to deal with before died himself inexplicably...... But Eugene frowned, and was obviously not in a good mood: "His soul may have died in Bernardino's memory, or it may have been lost." It may even be that he escaped by some secret method.
"But at least his body was dead – his spine was pulled out alive by Bernardino. His soul has no way to return home. ”
From this point of view, it is true that he can already be considered dead.
Having lost his body, his only way to survive was to defect to the false gods before his soul dissipated. Let's see if any of the big guys can take a fancy to him and take him as a messenger.
— but he couldn't survive anymore.
Even the souls of transcendents cannot be parasitic in other people's bodies, because their bodies and souls are not in harmony at all. Even if the soul only exists in the body, it will constantly cause damage to the physical body and try to correct it to the shape of the soul.
But it is clear that the human body cannot be pinched around like plasticine.
Unless you can create an identical, identical body...... Or simply throw the soul into a fetus that has not yet been born. It can be used to accommodate the souls that have been preserved and have lost their bodies.
For example, Don Juan Geraine.
His soul had been saved by Benjamin and sent back. But the Geraint family apparently didn't have the skills and ability to recreate his body for him......
Therefore, today's "Don Juan" has been re-sent into his mother's womb. And when he was born again, he could no longer use the name "Don Juan".
- Annan called this a cut and retraining, and reincarnated on the spot.
But it was clear that no one would do such a thing for Denton.
He has sinned against all who can be offended.
No one will try to find and preserve his soul, to find a suitable fetus for him to resurrect him.
But......
"Spine?"
Annan asked in a low voice.
He frowned slightly, thinking of something.
For example, the Stone of the Sage of the Hermetic School.
The first time he met Bernardino, he was asked by Bernardino about the details of the "resurrection" ritual, when he learned that his soul was about to be burned out......
At that time, Annan speculated.
He might go and fetch the Philosopher's Stone.
But later, as Annan got to know Nicholas II better, he realized that this was unlikely. Because if Bernardino knew or could communicate with Nicholas, he shouldn't have risked being killed by Paper Ji to ask Annan.
As long as he gets the Philosopher's Stone, he will already be able to maintain his immortality.
Why bother with such a "resurrection"?
"Speaking of which," Annan thought of Bernardino and asked again, "who killed Bernardino?" Or did he run away? ”
"He killed himself."
Eugene replied simply: "Whether it's Bernardino or Denton, it's a very troublesome type." Denton was able to invade the consciousness of a golden-level transcendent and modify the opponent's memory at a distance of several hundred meters; And Bernardino couldn't kill it, and he didn't dare to kill it.
"Therefore, the high-level transcendents in the royal capital, after deploying the rain-proof device or ability for the first time, began to wait and see from a safe distance."
After all, the two of them are real dog-eat-dog...... Whoever dies is not worthy of pity. Rather, it would be a great thing for everyone if they could die together.
"It's just a pity that Bernardino is definitely not dead."
Eugene sighed: "The resurrection ability of the Spirit Bearer is too stable. He must have had soul fragments placed elsewhere. ”
"Can't you find it, the place where he was resurrected?"
"It can only be determined that it is in the royal capital. But the exact location is not at all. ”
The man with an ordinary face shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I can't check it either."
"No one wants to look up the 'purest medium'. After all, the spell on his body is too troublesome...... His own strength is not weak. If the [Soul Leaving Demon Eye] can hit head-on, it can directly deprive others of their souls. Even the transcendents of the Golden Rank die instantly. ”
"So even if you can find it...... Is it sure that the result cannot be found? ”
Paper Ji interjected.
Eugene spread his hands, "Yes, my lord." That's it. ”
"What was the outcome of the accident fatalities and injuries?"
Annan asked with concern, "There should be a lot of transcendents who have died, right?" What are you going to do with the resulting nightmare? ”
It seems a little surprised that Annan will pay attention to this issue.
"Wait a minute, Your Highness."
Although it was a bit troublesome to query the data, the corners of Eugene's mouth were slightly raised. A genuine smile was revealed.
Annan keenly caught the chuckle.
…… This guy is really a nice guy.
It's a pity to be born in such a family. Also to be in this kind of industry......
Eugene carefully rummaged through the documents on the table, looked at the stacks of documents carefully for a while, wrote and drew on the paper and calculated for a long time before turning back to Annan and replied cautiously: "At present, the number of dead and wounded may be more than 700. ”
"So much?"
Annan was taken aback.
"This is calculated on a minimum basis. Because there are still some people who are directly 'missing'. Even their bodies were completely gone. The transcendents are much easier to locate - just by the increase in the amount of curses in the air, plus the corpses that have been found, the exact death data can be calculated, which is eleven in the bronze rank and fifty-one in the silver rank. ”
“…… How is it that there is so much more silver than bronze? ”
Annan asked suspiciously.
Eugene just read the document and explained slowly, "It is said to be because of the 'Soul Leaving Demon Eye'. Bernardino freed his Magic Eye once, killing everyone within a forty-degree view of him, including a phalanx of silver wizards. Of those 'dead with corpses', this blow alone is more than sixty percent.
"As for nightmares...... The number of nightmares generated so far is zero. ”
"What?"
Annan was stunned.
"Because there is no transcendent soul, Your Highness Annan."
Eugene sighed: "Bernardino has taken all the souls of the transcendental...... It's starting to fog up a bit. But without a soul as an anchor, there is no nightmare at all.
"It's definitely not going to work like this. There have been examples of female officials and guards in the royal palace falling ill. Even if His Majesty's room is urgently sealed, when the curse really spreads, I'm afraid His Majesty's body will not be able to endure it. ”
"What then?"
As soon as Annan asked, he paused slightly.
He nodded suddenly, and suddenly understood something: "Do you already have a plan?" Tell me about it? ”
Eugene nodded slowly and asked seriously, "Do you remember...... Don Juan? ”
Hearing the name of the person who was impersonated by himself, he was spoken by his second brother.
Annan had no surprised expression.
He understood what Eugene meant.
Since there are only curses, no nightmares...... Then create a nightmare.
That's what Benjamin did.
“…… You want to get Master Benjamin back? ”
"No, no, no. His Royal Highness Benjamin's status is honorable......"
Eugene shook his head again and again with a bitter look on his face.
"But he left the technology behind," he explained. All you need is a silver-level transformation wizard to complete it. However, considering that the person responsible for generating the nightmare may be able to manipulate the nightmare, it is necessary to let someone who can reassure them do it.
"Your Highness...... Is there anyone you can trust? ”
Hearing such a cautious inquiry, Annan chuckled.
The royal capital is here...... Will you not find a silver-tier transformation wizard?
Possibly, too. But more likely, it should be Eugene...... Or rather, the temptation of the Geraint family.
Eugene is a nice guy, but he's really used to the roundabout way of talking.
What he was actually asking Annan was, "What is your relationship with the Son of the Black Tower?"
Is it a surface brother? Or a true brother?
There is only one answer.
"Okay, I'll take care of that."
Annan replied calmly: "I will write to inquire about my 'reliable friend'." ”
The update is complete, and there is only one update today (referring to May 1st).
Because I'm going to go out for a couple of laps when I wake up tomorrow...... It is estimated that I will have to go out at 9 o'clock in the morning and come back after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. However, I only took half a day off, and I will resume updating tomorrow~
I suddenly found that I was still in double the monthly pass period...... Ask for tickets, ask for tickets, and there will be a new nightmare next week~
