This Nicholas ...... Is it so anxious to die?

He didn't want to take on the duty of "mirror" and ran away, leaving Annan with a tail that could find him?

Of course, there is another possibility.

- This so-called "Nicolas Lemay" is an impostor.

After all, Nicholas left Noah much earlier than Annan. The exact timing of Annan's departure for the dead of winter, especially the destination he was about to go, was not told to anyone else at all.

Nicholas is indeed strong, though.

But how did he guess out of thin air?

Since Annan's destination can be directly known, it is not unreasonable that the person is not unreasonably a wizard of the Prophetic School - or it is at the station that Annan's conversation with Nigel has been eavesdropped.

…… Of course, it may not be appropriate to say that it is an imposter.

After all, the man didn't claim that he was indeed that Nicholas.

For most people, they won't even hear the name.

The few people who have heard this name must have thought that Nicholas, known as "Hermes II", died hundreds of years ago. Even if you claim that you are not dead, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

If you tell people directly, you may be considered a liar.

What did he say?

Just say, "I am Hermes II, the lord of the Jade Tower hundreds of years ago, I am not completely dead, if you can give me some help, I will be grateful after I am fully resurrected and take control of the Jade Tower" or something?

Only a fool will believe it.

Qin Shi Huang won't send this kind of text message these days, okay.

Therefore, the name made Annan suspicious - if the other party really was

It's more likely that it will be regarded as a duplicate name.

In this dualistic worldview of curses and oaths, the "name" is a very important and weighty oath, not something that can be easily changed.

Just as Don Juan can no longer use the name Don Juan after his resurrection.

Changing one's name at will is a very dangerous and meaningless act in the otherworld. Many spells can tell if the name used by the opponent is the real name, and the jade plate that verifies the real name of the Imperial Decree School is also a popular practical spell.

The more advanced spells of the Imperial Decree School and the Prophetic School can even directly find out each other's real names.

And this is especially true for the great nobles who are not transcendentals - their real names may have been handled by the wizards of the idol school, and a specially created "double" bears the ritual direction of the name, as if adding a firewall.

It's not 100% effective, but it's more or less a layer of protection.

But if you change the name and really think it's your own name - the name itself will become a breakthrough to be able to bypass the stand-in for the ceremony.

When some transcendents say, "Investigate an adult," they usually mean "investigate a pseudonym or identity he has used."

After all, no matter how cautious a person is, as long as he has done some shady things, most of them have used pseudonyms. And if it has only been used once or twice, the name is almost certainly protected by a stand-in.

As long as you find a way to get the other party's pseudonym, you will also have the opportunity to designate him as the object of the ceremony. Whether it's entering his dreams, checking his memories, making him impotent, or getting bad luck, or just cursing him, you can do it.

In the same way, there is no point in impersonating someone else's name.

If the impostor uses Salvatore's name, then when the impostor is thought of in the face and what he has done, and then the ritual is started under that name, the ritual will either fail or the impostor will be drawn in. It is absolutely impossible to pull in person.

So it doesn't matter if the other party is Nicholas or not, as long as you leave your name, you may find him.

…… So, do you want to give it a try?

Annan fell into deep thought.

Knowing the other party's name and what he did, there is no problem directly using the ritual to locate it. He did know the rituals that were available.

But could this be a trap used to mislead Annan or even locate him in reverse?

After all, the name is too easy to obtain.

Annan even suspected that Doreen might have been the bait herself.

After all, Doreen and Bella look alike.

Although Annan can't remember whether Bella knew him well back then, what she did, and whether she is still working at the Winter Hand...... But since the other party specifically chose Doreen, it must have a good intention.

In short, the "swindler and preacher" is now mine.

…… Now the question is, what layer is the other party on?

"I don't want to be a lasagna......"

Annan sighed and touched his head.

Before you're sure of the other party's purpose, let's be cautious.

Find a way to hold Doreen first, and then give it to Sister Maria...... Or give it to the old goose.

The delicious wind goose is also a ritual. And the player is not afraid of death, if this is really a trap, Annan can just let the delicious wind goose do the trick - it's a big deal to give him a few thousand favors as compensation and reward afterwards.

"I might have to go with you for a while, kid."

"Girlandaio" looked at the werewolf girl whose hands were tied and kneeling in front of him, and said gently: "You know, the current situation is that someone is trying to trouble me, and I am very innocent.

"If I kill you here, then the trouble you've caused me will indeed be over. But if I don't know the situation, there will be new troubles waiting for me in the future.

"I'm a very lazy person and want to do it once and for all. If you can, you'd better be able to walk with me for a while, and accompany me to investigate your teacher, Nikolai...... If I can finally be sure that you are innocent, then I will finally let you go and apologize to you. ”

What Annan meant by this was that if you were really involved...... It's never too late to kill.

Hearing these half-threatening and half-kidnapping words, Doreen, who was trembling with fear before, gradually calmed down.

…… She could hear that Mr. Ghirlandaeo didn't seem to want to do anything to her for the time being.

He's not like the big guys who can be easily provoked...... Because he was lost face or calculated, he was angry and directly destroyed his insignificant little pawn.

This Mr. Girlandaio is very sane.

The calmness that comes out of reason makes people feel chills in their bones just by looking at it.

As for the restriction of personal freedom, the threat of death......

Is there any value in the freedom of a werewolf like her?

When she was first sucked by the Frostbeast, she even thought she was going to die here - but when she was finally dying, Mister Glandaio ordered the Frostbeast to listen and save her life.

If you were going to die, you would be dead now.

Thinking of this, Doreen felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

She mustered up her courage and asked, "Aren't you afraid...... Am I being sent? ”

Hearing this, "Girlandaio" showed a hearty smile.

Ghirlandaio stretched out his hands and helped Doreen up slightly.

"—because you are, so you're not."

Ghirlandaeo lowered his head, pressed his forehead against Doreen's forehead, and said with a smile, "This sentence is a philosophy, you don't understand. ”

…… What, meaning?

Doreen was stunned and fell into deep thought.

She thought seriously for a long time, feeling as if she understood something, and as if she didn't understand anything.

But, but...... It always feels like it's amazing.

I hope Mr. Ghirlandaio won't kill me.

Doreen prayed silently in her heart.

TLOU2 I'm really numb in this plot.,The kind of numb that can pull out the teeth.。 It's not even just a matter of political correctness...... Yes, political correctness can no longer cover the problems of this plot. If you want to put any book in this plot, I think the guarantee will be sprayed on 300 floors...... I even thought I was watching the Beast Niang Zoo 2 and then broadcast it, and the real brain skew.
