Chapter Seventy-Six: Annan's Thousand-Feuille Routine

Sure enough.

In the face of Salvatore's question, Annan replied without hesitation:

"Naturally, go and keep fighting."

He first came to Roseburg to kill Viscount Barb.

He first sent mercenaries to raid the port of Frozen Water, and then planned to assassinate Annan and Salvatore. Even if Annan extrapolates according to common sense, he knows that this grievance is by no means something that can be turned over.

He had no grudge, no hatred, or anger against Viscount Barb.

But if it is the other way around, when Annan thinks about "whether to kill Viscount Barb", he can clearly feel the joy in his heart.

- Well, I must hate this man.

"Alvin Barber ......"

Annan muttered the name, his tone erratic.

There was nothing special on his face. I didn't say any cruel nonsense such as "you me off" and "you actually hurt my people".

There was only a very pure joy and joy in his eyes.

I want to kill. I really want to kill.

Just imagining the pleasure of killing him, Annan could feel that his face was faintly red and hot, as if he had drunk too much wine.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Otherwise, I'll go with you, Don Juan. ”

Salvatore frowned, not too surprised by this answer: "Why don't you wait for me a little longer?" I'll dispel all the black fire here, and I'll go with you, it's easy for you to go alone.

"And you don't really have to take any chances. You can bear with it, when I go back to the Black Tower, there will be a way to solve this trouble for you......"

"Thank you very much...... I know you're worried about my safety, but I don't want to put up with it. ”

Annan interrupted him: "It's like you said before - this is what I have to do." It's not that I have a personal grudge against him, or that I want to take back the power he stole from my lordship.

"I just wanted to kill him."

His eyes seemed to shine, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

Annan's words were full of heroic and upright spirit, and that strong positive emotion stirred up, and his body seemed to be wrapped with holy light.

This even gave Salvatore some kind of delusion:

It's as if Annan is not going to take revenge and kill people, but to give up his life to save the world......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But even if there is only one transcendent by the Viscount's side. But just that person, you can't deal with it very easily. ”

Salvatore tactfully advised: "Give me six hours...... I'll dispel all these black fires, and I'll go with you to him. He's certainly not going to run far. ”

After all, these guards around him were just ordinary people, and they had no resistance to curses. Whether it is mind controlled, or frozen in ice, blown to pieces, or trapped in direct restraint, it is possible.

Salvatore thought with some concern.

Don Juan can only rely on me......

These guards are too young.

Even if they can come back from the dead, they will always be afraid of death and pain, right?

Even if they are really not afraid of death and pain, they look no more than twenty or thirty years old.

What can these thirty or so hairy young men do?

Although it is indeed very important for a swordsman to have a young and healthy body. But it also means that there are few eyes and a simple mind. If you haven't met many people, read many books, or experienced any hard battles, it's easy to do something reckless. When facing a strong enemy, the mentality is also prone to problems......

These are deadly.

But Annan just shook his head indifferently.

"I believe in them, senior."

Annan's words were unhesitatingly affirmed: "They are my most loyal and powerful guards. Each of them is an absolute elite. ”

Even the players can hear it. This is not a hypocritical pander, but a trust from the heart.

They were also a little touched by this for a while.

They suddenly realized that they had gradually fallen in love with this aristocratic young man with a cold face and a warm heart, and he refused to admit the kindness in his heart.

He will panic and fear the injuries of the "mere guards", will give up powerful reinforcements in order to prevent the fire from spreading, and will risk facing powerful wizards who are far stronger than himself in order to help others.

- He wants to kill Viscount Barber now, presumably to protect his people.

Unlike Salvatore, players think so.

After all, the rule of the game for the aristocracy is compromise.

Salvatore doesn't understand this, but players from the modern world do.

Don Juan Geraine breaks free from the rules of the nobility and fights against strong enemies as a weak body...... It should be for the light in my heart.

In the name of righteousness, do what is rightβ€”

This is the psychology of not being afraid of heaven and earth that can only appear when a teenager of twelve or thirteen years old has begun to roughly understand things and knows right and wrong, but still does not obey reality and does not want to understand reality.

The players were a little stunned.

Because they've come through that age.

Even though their current work is relatively in line with their wishes, they have begun to succumb to the rules of reality and understand that nothing is perfect.

But also because of this.

Instead, a determination to "help Don Juan" was born in their hearts!

That's not charity, it's not loyalty, but it's not profit.

It's their youth. In other words, the feelings of a teenager who have passed away -

- Of course.

Annan still knows their mentality well.

They will have the idea that they are under the guidance of Annan.

Before they entered the game, they had seen the promotional CG that Annan had carefully selected and produced for them. The self inside is completely a positive image of leading the people and not obeying coercion and temptation, and fighting with a strong enemy drawing a sword.

More like a valiant knight than a nobleman. But instead the knight fell into the situation of being persecuted by the evil nobles.

They will subconsciously sympathize with Annan. This sympathy will bring them closer to each other.

After all, Salvatore could not even think of such an idea as "sympathy". It is impossible for him to sympathize with or pity a nobleman.

But the players are different.

They subconsciously think that their status is higher than that of "NPCs", and even though they have all reacted now, it may be a real world.

But after all, they came in through a game, and this arrogance will be rooted in their hearts and will be difficult to eradicate.

And Annan took advantage of this arrogance. In other words, with the help of this sympathy and scrutiny born from arrogance, they can develop more "empathy" with Annan.

The so-called empathy is the ability to understand the emotions and thoughts of others, understand the positions and feelings of others, and think and deal with problems from the perspective of others.

That is, they unconsciously clouded Annan.

By the time Annan does lead them to defeat the Viscount, this empathy will be transformed into a beautiful shared secret, and they will have a fond memory.

That's why Annan couldn't involve Salvatore in this matter.

This would be a date between Don Juan Geraine and the player, rather than a party of three.

This kind of "love marketing" is also one of the skills that Annan has mastered. When people are in love, their IQ tends to decline, because they will subconsciously entrust part of their thinking to another person.

And mastering the decisions of others is undoubtedly equivalent to controlling their minds.

"I will never let Alvin Barber live to see the sun tomorrow."

Annan turned his head and said in a deep voice to the players, "Everyone, I'm going to go to the trouble of Lord Viscount. He is undoubtedly the unrighteous party, and I have neither intention nor willingness to submit to him.

"But you have family and friends...... I may offend some other forces by them. They may be more powerful than me, more powerful than the Geraint family.

"So you don't have to be involved in this. If you want to leave, I'll erase all your records today as if you had never been to Roseburg today, and everything here has nothing to do with you - that's what I promised. ”

The implication of Annan's words is: If you don't participate, I will return your favor to zero.

The players also interpreted this meaning, and their faces were resolute, and their eyes were full of murder.

Annan looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.

He uttered a childish and cold voice: "Those who are willing to go with me will be sheathed by their swords." ”

The next moment, a series of sheathing sounds sounded chaotically.

It's not neat, but there's not a single one.

They didn't even think about it.

There is no doubt that their concern for the safety of their relatives and friends, and their concern for their own safety, is completely unable to compete with their loyalty to Annan.

This scene deeply shook Salvatore.

He was silent for a while, then walked over and took out the hammer from his pocket and carefully handed it to Annan.

Salvatore whispered with some apprehension, "I'll borrow it from you first." Remember to come back alive...... Give it back to me. ”

"That's nature, I'll definitely be back."

As he spoke, Annan opened the satchel containing the kitchen knife with a natural expression and put the hammer in.

There was not a hint of fear or hesitation on his face:

"Because this is a righteous actβ€”and the Silver Lord will help me."

That total self-confidence, shining as brightly as the sun.

Combined with his looks.

It's enough to impress people.
