Chapter 767: Fearless Sage

Will Dmitry and Maria return together tomorrow?

Hearing the news, Annan was also a little surprised.

After all, the two of them are not on the way at all. And with Maria's character, she will most likely return as soon as her work as soon as her Storm Daughter's work is completed.

She was able to transform into a storm, and it was enough to fly back to the Frost Province from the Tower of Storm in just a few breaths.

And go to Dmitry's side and come back with him. This is obviously taking care of Dmitry's feet and body - she actually carries Dmitry directly, and she can also directly wrap Dmitry in the storm and return quickly, just like "a gust of black wind sweeping away Tang Seng".

…… But considering that Dmitry was not an extraordinary person after all, his body could not withstand this level of destruction. Maria probably kept her hand.

Now that Annan has just succeeded to the throne of the Grand Duke of Winter, the two of them got together and rehearsed in advance, so as not to tear each other down when they see Annan...... This is also well understood.

But before they returned, there were other things that Annan could take care of.

- For example, Sant'Alfonso, who had just arrived in the Frost Province.

Because Alfonso didn't know what to do, Annan asked Celicia to go upstairs and hide first. In case the two of them meet and start a fight—although Annan had heard from Celicia that she and Alfonso didn't have a grudge, it was just in case.

However, this vigilance was mostly dissipated when he saw Alfonso, who was contemptuously called the "Sage of Thieves".

…… The reason is also very simple.

This artificial sage who held the [Courage] holy skelet, that is, the "fearless sage" of this generation, St. Alfonso, as soon as he saw Annan, he bowed deeply to him very politely.

"I came to visit me out of the blue without prior notice...... It's very rude. ”

Alfonso's voice was unexpectedly young, as clear as a teenager who hadn't yet changed his voice.

He has crimson hair reminiscent of rose petals, and beautiful vermilion pupils that sparkle like firelight.

Facing the cold gaze of the Winter Hands, Alfonso had a helpless smile on his face.

As soon as they met, he spread his hands and raised them above his shoulders as if in surrender: "I have no hostility, Your Majesty. Otherwise, I don't think these wizards would have brought me here.

"From the time I identified myself with them, all the way to here. Along the way, I didn't shield or protect my thoughts...... Although the Soul Snatcher was not of high rank, he should have seen it clearly. ”

Hearing this, Annan calmly looked at Thirteen Incense.

Thirteen Fragrance nodded slightly with a serious expression, indicating that Alfonso was right.

…… What a ghost.

Along the way, Thirteen Incense didn't even think of using the Soul Snatching Spell to peek into Alfonso's mind.

On the one hand, because he is only bronze at the moment, his level is too low, and he is afraid of being discovered by this sage, so the green name NPC directly turns red; On the other hand, it is also because he has not been in this world for a long time, and he has not yet become accustomed to the use of various spells.

When encountering a sudden attack from the enemy, the four dark carvings were already able to shout "Quickly dodge" for the first time, instead of holding their heads or scurrying in place. This is the proof that he already has combat experience and magic knowledge.

Among these new recruits, the Huskies are the ones who adapt to the other world the fastest......

This may be the instinct of spinal cord players.

"Anyway, please be seated, Your Excellency Alfonso."

Annan nodded, clenched the scepter in his hand, and leaned forward: "You came to me...... What is the matter? ”

"Ah, it's not a big deal."

Alfonso grinned and picked up the milk tea that Zoya had poured for him, and drank it all without hesitation, and poured himself another cup for himself, obviously a little thirsty.

"The main thing is that there are several things piled together. And if I write these things and send them over, maybe there will be some changes in the meaning I want to express that I don't want to see......"

"I understand."

Annan nodded: "The carrier of the message will undoubtedly affect the expression of the message itself. It is entirely possible to even change the content of the message. ”

"It would be nice if you understood, Your Majesty."

Alfonso smiled happily.

He then took out a box and placed it on the table.

"I've heard my lovely sister mention that you are one of the candidates to inherit the [Dreadnought Bone]. Especially if you have a superior bloodline and talents, the possibility of containing the Holy Bones will also be much higher. Or rather...... It was supposed to be like this. ”

"Originally?"

"Yes, Your Majesty...... We have indeed negotiated with you to go to the bone site for testing at the end of June. But then...... We don't know your identity very well, either. Now, with you taking over the throne of the Duchy of Winter, we finally know that 'Gilandaio is the Grand Duke of Winter'.

“…… But Your Majesty, the ritual of inheriting the holy bones is not absolutely safe. We didn't know it before, but now we know it's your fake body. We would never dare to risk the Elder Winter's life to participate in the ceremony......"

As he spoke, he respectfully pushed the small box on the table in front of Annan: "This is an apology for you, you should have never heard of the previous agreement...... I don't know your identity when Nephi agreed with you about this without permission, please forgive her. ”

Annan reached out and opened the box.

Inside was a row of seven test tubes—the extract of Dreadnought's Bone. It is a dark red colloid, with a white flocculent substance visible to the naked eye, which shines like a ruby on its own.

"I'll ask you a little bit."

Annan asked, "If I don't go...... Will someone go then? ”

“…… I'm afraid only the Winterbreakers will go. ”

San Alfonso hesitated for a moment, but replied truthfully: "The news that Lady Celicia abandoned the treasure ship 'Silver' and returned to the Duchy of Winter with you has spread in the underworld...... She is no longer at the Golden Rank now, and she must no longer be able to accept the [Dreadnought Bone]. ”

"Does that mean that if Vladimir the Winterbreaker survives the ritual...... Will he become the new Fearless Sage? ”

"That's right."

"Good, I get ......"

Annan said pointedly: "I don't blame you for this...... Nefertari is also a friend of mine, and she will bring this up to me for my own good and for your good.

"My original goal was to find the [Heart of Justice], not the [Fearless Bone], and since I am not needed now, I will naturally go back and find the Heart of Justice."

"I'll bring your reply truthfully."

Sant'Alfonso nodded earnestly.

The next moment, the temperament on his body suddenly changed.

It was as if the flame in his eyes suddenly ignited - his whole person was suddenly filled with a strong aura of indomitable progress.

"Then there's the private matter...... I have a personal question that I would like to ask Your Majesty to answer. ”

"What's the problem?"

"My sister Nefertari's boyfriend, the man named Niusel."

Alfonso looked at Annan and asked word by word, without fear, "Is he the one you sent to her?" ”

Annan was silent for a moment.

He brought the scepter in front of him and clasped it with both hands.

He replied in the affirmative: "Niusel is indeed our man, but we have not yet activated him...... If you wish, we can never use him again.

"I mean—[you] want it to be your teacher."

“…… How can I be virtuous? ”

Alfonso's indomitable aura suddenly dissipated.

He smiled helplessly, and the whole person shrank back into the sofa: "Although I have holy bones, I am just a thief who has stolen the power of the sage. The purpose of my existence is to prove that 'the power of the Sage can be stolen'...... I'm just a merchandising shelf, a model. ”

"I know."

Annan said slowly: "I knew from the beginning that ...... [Fearless Bone] had already been sold to Vladimir, right? ”

“……”

Alfonso was silent, frowning slightly.

"It wasn't Nefertari who said it, and she probably didn't think of it. It's about IQ and intelligence. Because she didn't know that Vladimir had a treasure that could buy the 'Holy Bone'...... And I know. ”

Annan said slowly.

Buy the activated "Fearless Bone" from Seti the Bone Healer and become a Sage directly, gaining enough power to fight the gods...... This is probably one of Vladimir's plans.

And what he used to exchange holy bones, of equal or even higher value, was already about to come out.

- It is the blood of the world that he squeezed out by borrowing the power of worms to destroy the world!

The arrival of Alfonso is the final piece of the puzzle.

Annan gradually restored the truth of Vladimir's plan.
