After hanging up the one-way video call, Annan frowned and shrunk back in his chair in thought.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that something is not right.

- If their goal was only to obtain a large number of gold-level transcendents, then they didn't need to go through such trouble.

Most likely, they have already started to fight the curse cellar.

Then it means that they have already received the spell energy.

You only need to mass-produce first, and then kill some bronze-level transcendents to get the "foundation" for creating nightmares.

Directly use the spell to multiply the clearance reward by dozens and hundreds of times, and the bronze will be full after one clearance, the second time it will be successfully advanced to silver, and the silver will be full again, and then prepare to advance the gold-

It's just about providing the power of the curse. Mantra can do this with ease...... This would at least secure a large number of loyal men to the pinnacle of silver.

There won't even be any danger.

Doesn't it smell?

However, the Brotherhood of the Far North seems to have been to obtain purified things that "surpass pure gold" in the first place......

Is this reasonable?

Their fundamental purpose should be "to prevent the shrinking of the Great Barrier and the destruction of their rich lives." The assassination of Annan, the contact with the icebreakers, the raising of private soldiers, and even the construction of spell cellars, the extraction of spell energy, and the communication with the degenerate are only "means" and not "ends".

The stupid aristocrats who were eager to keep and consolidate their power were indeed not smart people, and they were certainly willing to try any taboos - after all, if they didn't move, they would burp immediately.

Then it seems unreasonable to judge ordinary people by their taboos and IQs.

But this circle is inevitably too big, and it is not quick at all.

It's not safe, controllable, or fast enough.

How could those cowardly, short-sighted, and dizzy fools take such a path first?

"If you eliminate all the impossibilities, then only the possibilities remain......"

Annan muttered.

Then there is only one result left.

- At least one traitor has been mixed into the power of the Far North Brotherhood. At least he has the absolute right to subdue other aristocratic staff.

No, it doesn't seem accurate to say that he is a traitor...... Because he didn't care what happened to the Duchy of Winter. So he is not on Annan's side either.

You know, even if those nobles are stupid, the "domestic brains" who give them ideas must be smart people.

Longjing Tea can immediately realize that something is wrong just by relying on the few words it gets from the saltpeter ranch...... Those staff members must have seen that this plan was not quite right.

But it's still going on steadily.

That means that the identity of the person who proposed this plan may be more than one level higher than others. This will let others know that something is wrong, and they can't oppose it openly.

Even just the line of saltpeter ranches, which provide demonic blood, can tell you the rough idea of this plan. This means that the completion of this plan has reached the level of "it doesn't matter if it is leaked to partners".

- This is even more wrong.

On Annan's side, it is even more impossible to be assassinated by only two or three miscellaneous fish degenerates.

If they had already obtained the "Sufficient Gold", then it would not be as simple as sending a few silver-level degenerates to assassinate Annan - it must be a group of twenty-five people composed of gold-level transcendents who directly pushed the frost to save ......

The difference in strength between the gold-level transcendents and the gold-level degenerates is not at the same level at all.

Kaphne once said to Annan that the essence of the power of the transcendent is to transform the soul with a curse, while the essence of the power of the fallen is to transform the body with a curse.

The devastation caused by the unstable minds of the fallen is not to mention.

The real flaw of the Fallen Dao is that they are still the "gaseous souls" of the Bronze Rank Transcendents.

One of the hallmarks of the Fallen is that their souls are "like black smoke", while the souls of the Golden-Rank Transcendents are "as bright as diamonds and as bright as rainbows". This means that demonized degenerates simply don't have much elemental power.

It is even more unlikely that they will ascend to godhood - because in the ascension ritual, only the soul can enter the realm of light on the celestial train.

- all because the quality of their souls is not enough.

And Annan knows a little more than Kafrene.

For example...... Annan learned that the "power of the elements" was not the original essence ability of this world. It was only after the Flint Father burned the Philosopher's Stone that it filled the world.

The Philosopher's Stone is the blood of the world of the "Void", and its status is equivalent to that of a solid spell.

In other words, the real Philosopher's Stone was most likely stolen by the Flint Father from the Void Realm.

Until then, the soul that has reached the position of [dyeing] is only "noble".

If everyone can't use the power of the elements, then the path of ascension should not be as good as the path of depravity of the same period until the ritual of ascension is completed.

This reminded Annan of the battle between immortals and demons......

Because the path of the Fall is the "beast way" of transforming the flesh with curses—and this may be the right path for a world full of curses.

Only if the path of the Fallen is more effective and powerful than the transcendent path will the path of the Fallen have the value of being handed down.

Otherwise, in the history of civilization of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it would have been eliminated long ago.

"On the Mystery of Fate and Half of the Dice" mentions, "Up is a jump, down is a step". This is the subtle mention of the difference between the "path of ascension" and the "path of depravity".

- That's why the sublimation ceremony is called the "sublimation ceremony".

Because this is the "difference" that is exclusive to the path of sublimation.

It is precisely because people who know about the ritual of ascension are too easy to associate it with the path of ascension. That's why the high-ranking transcendents changed the ancient name of "Path of Ascension" to "Transcendent Path", the purpose of which was to keep this secret.

No matter how the Flint got the Philosopher's Stone, this world is now full of elemental power. Only the path of sublimation can make the most of this ability...... This is an epic version of the "dyed" bit of the Ascension Path.

Annan immediately realized at that time that the gods hoped to increase the number of "gods" through this "version enhancement".

He's all too familiar with that...... Changing the player's behavioral tendencies by "boosting" and "weakening" is the basic skill of numerical planning.

Because gods can only be born through the "path of ascension". When it comes to dyeing, you can only wait for the birth of the Book of Truth...... Until one reaches the Truth Level, the Ascension must remain deflated. And there is no pattern to the birth of the Book of Truth.

Is this reasonable?

This? of mint.

The addition of the concept of "elemental power" allows the "powerful, pure soul" to truly become a power within reach.

Even if it was a dozen demons, it only took two or three gold-level transcendents with sufficient soul margin to easily kill them without leaving a single piece of armor.

Who made your blue stripes short.jpg

The two brothers in the saltpeter ranch, if they didn't have the secret of creation, they might have been stabbed by the sage one by one...... Of course, the Sage is actually at the Truth Level.

However, it can also be seen that the Far Northern Brotherhood definitely does not have a plural number of gold-level transcendents.

Because in the entire Duchy of Winter, there are no wild gold-rank transcendents at all-the Hand of Winter is bound to the silver tier, and the illegal silver-rank transcendents who try to continue to advance in the Duchy of Winter will be captured, monitored, imprisoned, and expelled by the Hand of Winter.

The current White Tower of the Wind has not yet elected a new tower owner.

Then, in addition to Maria, the Daughter of the Storm, and Vasika, the "unbalanced beauty" who can resist the Golden Rank under special circumstances, only the Pope of the Old Grandmother and the "God of Earth" of the Melvin family are left in the Golden Rank of Winter. And the latter two are not forces that directly belong to the Winter family.

This was the weakest period of the Duchy of Winter—if you didn't count the unknown ancestor shaking ceremony.

The Far North Brotherhood has not been killed so far, it can only be because they are rookies.

Even if they have two golden ranks, they can come over and fight a wave and redivide their territory. If there are more than three, you can basically enter the frost language province to put Annan and Ivan under house arrest, and "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

Therefore, they have definitely not completed the experiment of "suffocating gold" now.

Rather, it was the people who proposed the experiment who limited them...... Otherwise, they who had already built the curse cellar would have already started mass-producing the silver army.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.

- He remembered something else.

As the lords of the "northernmost part of the map", the Brotherhood of the Far North really doesn't have much money.

So, how did they convince the Fallen-forces of Saltpeter Ranch and Nata County to be loyal to them? According to the character of these degenerates, they should come back and sell this group of partners, and come to the Grand Duke to ask for a reward.

Unless they want something else from them.

From this point of view......

“…… Could it be that in the world of the Fallen, there is already a ruler of shadows? ”

Annan whispered worriedly.

Able to cross borders and control all the fallen.

The Far Northern Brotherhood is only a pawn at their disposal - a pawn for the production of "suffocating gold".

And the ultimate purpose of their [full gold]...... Apparently to break free from the path of depravity.

Who could be the one who could cross borders and dominate the fallen from Noah, the underground, the winter?
