Just by looking at Him, Annan felt it difficult to breathe.

He clearly felt a strong shiver running around him, a sense of laziness injected into his brain through his gaze, and a substantial fear was like a shackle to his limbs, and a sense of near-substance despair was immersed in the air around him......

- Trembling, fear, laziness, despair.

But unfortunately......

These things happen to be useless to Annan.

Even so...... Annan can also judge by common sense.

This extremely tall eccentric.

It should be the skeleton who is talked about by himself and the players every day......

If it wasn't himself who appeared in front of him, but anyone else, the best outcome now would be to run away.

If the perception were a little sharper, maybe even see Him go crazy in an instant......

That's not even eye to eye.

The Skeleton's gaze was completely blocked by his own golden mask. Annan only had a general glimpse of His existence in reality, and was immediately affected by multiple negative auras.

Annan doubted that he would really look at the skeleton. Even if one's talent is able to resist negative emotions, the soul may not be able to withstand the impact of this mystery.

After a brief silence, Annan bowed respectfully to Him.

“…… Is there anything I can do to help you? ”

What Annan is most afraid of now is that the skeleton man replied indifferently: "No, go die." ”

Then smack yourself to death.

But fortunately, the skeleton man is not so ruthless......

"You seem to be the Frostborn of [Ligretto]......"

A low, heavy echo old voice rang in Annan's ears: "But you are ...... Is it a descendant of her approval......"

The moment Annan heard the name "Ligredo".

He suddenly felt that his body could not move.

A crunching freeze sounded in my ears.

He could clearly see that the buildings around him suddenly began to freeze in large areas.

Frost marks appeared on the ground and on the walls around the alleys, like ice flowers on the windows.

"Hoo ......"

Annan exhaled a breath of white air slowly, feeling his spine begin to stiffen and unable to move.

It wasn't heat, it was cold......

He clearly felt that his blood was suddenly tickled by the name, and there were bursts of bone-eating chills like insects and ants.

He looked down and saw that his skin suddenly rose high, moved some distance, and then sank again, leaving frost marks in his wake. It's like countless tiny pieces of ice beetles traveling under the skin at breakneck speeds and then melts.

Although Annan's pain was very dull, he could vaguely feel an uncomfortable chill.

After that, a line of prompts suddenly appeared in front of Annan's eyes:

[Health: 1%]

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

But the strange reaction in him is still intensifying.

A strong chill lipped over him, and the ground froze. Annan's skin became paler and even almost transparent. If a bright light hits him at this time, I am afraid it can even penetrate the other end.

Frost crystals soon appeared in his body...... It's like scale armor.

Yes, it's like scales.

At this moment, a low, indistinct cold female voice sounded in Annan's ears.

“…… Annan ...... Maria............ Annan ......"

She seems to say a lot of things.

Hearing this voice, the skeleton man stopped talking.

He just stood by in silence and looked at Annan without saying a word.

But Annan didn't understand that language at all......

He could only barely distinguish the names of two people-

Twice Annan, once Maria.

Eventually, the voice faded away.

And some data resurfaced in front of Annan's eyes:

【Activated: Path of the Old Bloodline】

[The talent "Heart of Winter" is evolving-]

[After satisfying the request of "Old Grandmother" Rigretto, "Winter Heart" (Reversal) will evolve to the next stage: Winter Abundance (Reversal)]

[Winter Abundance (Reversal): You will not feel all negative emotions; The damage of the "Frost" element you emit will be permanently increased by 50%; You will be completely immune to all Frost elemental damage below the Truth level.

[Obtain Mysterious Knowledge: The True Name of the God of Frost and Tradition, "Old Grandmother"]

[This mystical knowledge can be used as "Divine Descent Ritual: Call 'Old Grandmother'", "Golden Spell (School of Disability): Freezing and Deep Cold", "Legendary Material: Frost Core", "High Influence: Remnants of the Extremely Cold God"]

[This mysterious knowledge will be forgotten after using "1" time, and can only be obtained after "listening to the voice of the 'old grandmother'"]

- Wait!

I did guess that the voice of the big sister, who sounded very cold, seemed to come from the "old grandmother" of the righteous god......

But what is the grandmother's request?!

Annan looked confused.

It wasn't a matter of dialect or the language of the Duchy of Winter...... That's not a human language at all!

Annan is 100% sure that human vocal cords will never be able to produce such a strange and deep sound.

it, wait...... Looks like something is wrong!

Although he received a body with the blood of winter, he became a godborn of his grandmother...... But he didn't get the language knowledge he needed to talk to his grandmother.

Then the old grandmother seemed to use this as a medium to give Annan a task at the moment when the skeleton pronounced her name.

But here's the problem...... Annan didn't understand at all what task she gave Annan.

This ghost system doesn't know if it's because the real-world quest doesn't show up, or if it doesn't understand it either...... In short, Annan only knows what the mission reward is, but he has no idea what he wants to do.

…… Forget it, he can't suddenly remember it anyway.

Let's find a way to collect some ancient knowledge in the future...... Mainly linguistics, but also the Old Grandmother and the Duchy of Winter.

The next time I summon my grandmother, I will be able to urgently learn this foreign language to the point where I can roughly understand it......

By the time Annan felt his body's presence again from the chill that had gradually dissipated, three minutes had passed.

At this time, Annan's health is still 1% of the death of a touch.

He didn't understand what his grandmother was telling him.

- But Annan was just bold.

He looked at the skeleton again without fear or fear, and said without humility or arrogance: "Excuse me...... Anything else? ”

But the Skeleton Man suddenly laughed.

Yes - Annan was very clear and heard him chuckle hehe!

"It's fine, Frostborn. Since you've chosen this path, we'll see you again......"

After Annan woke up, the bones also talked more.

And his tone was not as cold and distant as it was at the beginning, and he could even feel that it had become a little more friendly: "Your name is ...... Annan, right. Annan Frost ......"

…… What's the case with this lich-sounding last name?

Annan paused slightly.

He suddenly realized that the Skeleton seemed to understand the old grandmother's words.

…… No, this crumbs are too realistic, right?

He was definitely going to come and look for trouble at first.

But knowing that he was of the blood of his grandmother, he directly changed his mind on the spot......

is so decisive, Annan is a little uncomfortable.

So he knocked on the side and said in a deep voice, "My name is ...... Annan Rindong. ”

"Sooner or later, it will be the ...... of frost"

The skeleton man just smiled, and a low and hoarse voice with an echo sounded in Annan's heart: "If you are not afraid...... When you advance to the truth, you can also try to use my ritual...... If you have any questions, you can also hold a ceremony to call me...... I know, you know the ritual of contacting me......"

He spoke, stretching out his right hand, which was wrapped in steel, and pointed to the package behind Annan: "But I took the book with me......"

As he spoke, the Skeleton Gong pointed to Annan's package.

Annan immediately understood—which book the Skeleton Gong wanted.

It must be the one that records the real name of the skeleton!

"I'm just-"

Annan was so good that he immediately took down the package and planned to take it out to give it to the guests.

"No need......

The skeleton's deep voice rang out.

When Annan looked up again, the skeleton had disappeared.

And in his package, the book disappeared at some point—a box that was completely gone.

Annan didn't even feel when the weight was being lost......

…… Or did He steal the book while He was frozen?

Annan wanted to speak and stopped: "This big brother ......"

The crumbs are really frank......

I have something to do today......

Tomorrow three more to make up!
