Chapter 152: Thoronik's Intelligence
- Great Spells.
Annan was in a trance, as if he was back in front of his senior.
The first time he learned of the existence of a great spell was when Salvatore told him.
A great-level spell, even more powerful and rare than a god's name spell.
Even incredible "miracles" such as resurrection from the dead and creation of things out of thin air can be used.
According to Paper Hime...... The power of a great-level spell is roughly equivalent to the complete secret of creation. Although the controller may be far less powerful than the holder of the Complete Book of Truth, or the Sage who has fully fitted the Holy Bones...... But the special thing about great spells is that they are "mysterious".
How powerful are great spells?
Nobody knows.
This mystery is the embodiment of deterrence.
It can even be said that the rulers of the five great powers were able to control the country from the threat of the transcendent, the clergy, and the degenerate...... The main reason for this is because they have great spells.
The Athran Empire has a total of six great spells. Three pieces are inside the imperial capital and three are outside the imperial capital, forming the shape of a double triangle inside and outside.
After the collapse of the empire and the collapse of the imperial capital to the bottom of the sea, three of the five great spells that were originally controlled by the Athran Empire were controlled by the nearest and fastest first King Noah, the Grand Duke of Winter of that generation, and King Denisoa, and immediately implanted the spells that controlled them into their bloodlines.
At that time, the Noah family relied on the power of this spell to follow the general trend and build the Noah Kingdom; The royal family of Denisoa relied on spells to conquer the entire Great Archipelago; The Winter family didn't react, because the spell was supposed to be guarded by their family for generations.
As for the remaining two, they were controlled by the Pope of the Buried Mother-in-law and the Pope of Mr. Yao for the first time - they were in the imperial capital at the time of the Great Barrier was broken. However, after being so strong that even the catastrophe that completely destroyed the imperial capital and killed almost all the elves could not kill them.
The two of them saved two of the three great-level spells that sank to the bottom of the sea with the imperial capital in the first place.
Because a great-level incantation, even a great person at the level of the Pope, can only carry one. So the last one can only be seen falling to the bottom of the sea, buried in the water along with the old empire.
But the two popes are long-time friends.
They don't want to fight each other.
Instead, it was decided to unite with the other righteous popes to find a piece of land to rekindle the fire and jointly protect these two great incantations - the popes who relied on the seven gods took turns to serve as popes, and they formed the "Supreme Purity Hall", the supreme ruling body of unity.
As for the underworld......
They are the only nation that has not mastered a great level spell. Because in the beginning, they were a gathering place of losers - because there was no royal family, no rulers, and the city-states were scattered in their own battles, and there was no need to rely on great spells to maintain their rule.
Because other countries, there is no need to invade them.
Just buying, threatening, and controlling a certain city diggers and wise men is equivalent to controlling a piece of territory in the underground world...... And it is much easier for diggers and wise men who want to control a city than those who want to control a kingdom.
It's normal for different cities to be close to different terrestrial nations β just as the Spore Mill is close to the Winter People.
After all, they were so close.
Frequent business without any conflict of interest. It's also normal to be pro-winter.
This is actually the reason why there are no great spells in the underground world, but they have never been attacked or hostile by any country.
Because it doesn't make sense at all.
Anything that can be bought with money is nothing.
If anything, Philip really grew old once.
Then his attitude of coveting the young and healthy flesh, and his desperate and unbridled pleasures, can be explained.
Just like a person who survived from the desert, he couldn't help but thirst for a large glass of sweet water when he saw itβ
Philip's indulgence in life seems to be a reversal of the fact that he had already suffered the pain of aging.
But......
Is it because of the power of the great level of spells that he has gone from young to old and then younger?
Or do you grow old because of some kind of curse, and rely on the power of a great spell to regain your youth?
"Can I know what kind of great spell this is? Where did it come from, or what it worked for, what was it called......"
Annan was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't help but ask the tragic writer.
The tragic writer simply replied with a smile: "If I answer your question, then I will charge forty imprints."
"But are you really sure you want to ask me that?"
ββ¦β¦β
Annan's brow furrowed.
He did have more things to ask.
But this thing is also important......
He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "So what do you think I was going to ask you about?" β
"Solonic ...... Right. β
The tragic writer smiled slightly, and said without any concealment.
β¦β¦ He's right.
Annan was silent for a moment.
A traitor to the Winter Hand and leader of the Ice Breakers, Thoronik. He should still have in his hands the intelligence of his teacher "Vladimir", but it is much easier to deal with than Vladimir.
Thoronik and Vladimir's plan against the Duchy of Winter is undoubtedly a conspiracy. Then the tragic writer will be able to know clearly.
If they could get Thoronik's exact information, the Winter Hand would be able to set up a temporary task force to quickly arrest him β and then torture Vladimir. Then the conspiracy of the two of them can be successfully foiled.
Once you miss this opportunity, it will be too difficult to find a needle in a haystack to find these two people.
The area of the underground world is too wide.
Relying on the player to search little by little, it is really impossible to find him. And whether he is still in the underground world is unknown.
Then the information related to Philip's great-level spells is important...... Or is it important to have information about Thoronik in the Duchy of Winter?
ββ¦β¦ I get it. β
But at this moment, Annan suddenly realized...... Although it is a two-good choice β both of which are just free benefits, it is also a dilemma, which is "which one will be better".
It's a trap.
The reason why the tragedy writer looked at himself with a smile was because he wanted to watch Annan make a painful choice.
But Annan will not be fooled.
It's really hard to choose if you're confused by these two questions and position yourself as having both of them, thinking that the choice is "which is more unpleasant to lose...... And the wrong answer will be chosen.
In reality, however, either is given for free and immediately.
In other words, Annan had to choose an intelligence that "could immediately benefit Annan."
Then there is only one and only one correct answer.
Because Annan himself, who is about to succeed the Grand Duke, will soon inherit a secret about the great level of spells; And if the information about Philip's great-level spell refers to Noah's great-level spell, then Annan believes that Kaphne will also tell him after he succeeds to the throne.
Moreover, Annan and the player are underground, and the teleportation array has been established, so once he learns Thoronik's information, he can immediately take action no matter where he is; But even if he learned the information of the great spell, it would not be of any benefit to Annan.
There really is only one answer.
β¦β¦ But.
Could he even have guessed that?
"As you say."
Annan tried his best to control his calm emotions and said slowly: "I'm still choosing, Thoronik." β
"You must be wondering why Thoronik suddenly disappeared back then?"
The tragedy writer replied with a smile: "The answer is simple. Because he contacted Professor Wolf, who had just regained his life at the time.
And Professor Wolf gave him a new name, a new body, a new identity. [Thoronik] is, of course, completely dead.
He ...... Or rather, her new name is 'Celicia'. β
The tragic writer shows the joyful expression of the magician when he unravels the red cloth.
- That's right, that's the answer you're looking for! An answer you absolutely wouldn't expect!
"Although she is not the strongest, she is undoubtedly the most famous Gold-level transcendent in the underground world. The legendary explorer 'Captain in the Stone' Celisia, who has appeared in countless legends and dramas, is the 'Captain' who sails through the rock formations with the magical ship in the stone, the digger of diggers, and the poppy grass in the deep rock, who was once a winter fugitive and the leader of the icebreaker army, Thoronik! β
After giving an answer that surprised Annandu, he laughed and cut off the video call to himself.
