No. 44 Qingshui Street has completely turned into a towering giant tree.

And with Benjamin's retouching, the giant tree that has just been transformed from a house looks more and more realistic.

At first, the bark was unusually white and neat, and it looked a little unusual—it was impossible for a normal tree to have such smooth bark after reaching this scale.

But under Benjamin's transformation, the perfectly symmetrical giant tree gradually becomes distorted and tilted. The bark of the tree becomes pimple, gradually revealing signs of natural weathering.

Eventually, even sparse grass grew around the tree. Traces of moss are visible near the roots, and traces of sand and dust can be seen on the leaves.

After sealing the ceremony, Benjamin turned around and nodded slightly to Annan: "His Royal Highness Annan."

"I'll take care of the rest."

What he meant was obviously to get Annan to explain the "sudden appearance of the giant tree".

However, this is not difficult for Annan.

The residents of Clear Water Street were originally very sparse. This is not a wealthy area in the ordinary sense, but a temporary residence allocated by officials - 11 Clearwater Street is the Viscount's House, and 1 to 10 Clearwater Street are the centralized office of Roseburg.

Just as Nottdam would choose to buy a house elsewhere...... Other officials will do the same.

Otherwise, it would be too simple for the Viscount of Roseburg to send someone to search their house for contraband. And under the viscount's nose, many things are not easy to show.

Now that the viscount "died in an accident", they dare not live near Clear Water Street. lest other colleagues mistakenly think that they have something to do with this matter, or be chosen to dump the blame after being familiar with Annan.

There are not many households in this neighborhood today. When the time comes, when they come back, Annan can just find an excuse to fool around.

"No problem, Master Benjamin."

Annan also nodded and bowed politely to the new pope.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "Or ...... Should you be addressed as the Pope? ”

"Everything."

Benjamin nodded.

As time passed, the illusion of burning all the time in his body gradually subsided a lot. Although the presence is still dazzling, it can be immediately noticed...... But it is no longer the shocking sense of splendor that it had when he first walked out of the house.

Annan was thoughtful.

…… Is this the feeling that is what it looks like when you have a golden soul and ignite your soul and extract elements?

This is what the soul looks like when it burns?

"So, I'll go first...... His Highness Annan. ”

Benjamin didn't look at the others, but said respectfully to Annan: "If there is anything, you can just call the person in the mirror."

"If you need my help, my lord will contact me."

"Wait a minute, Lord Benjamin. I have a question......"

Annan grabbed Benjamin's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Benjamin interrupted Annan: "I know what you're asking.

"I did see you then. But I don't know either...... Why you're there. ”

Benjamin's vague words made Salvatore incompreme and confused.

But Annan has already understood what Benjamin is really trying to express:

When Benjamin left the ship, he did see Annan unconscious on the beach.

But Benjamin also didn't know where Annan was rushed from.

Annan asked, "So, do you have any other clues?" ”

"All I can confirm is ......"

Benjamin pondered for a moment and said slowly, "There was a 'Leviathan breath' left at that time. ”

“…… Leviathan? ”

Annan was stunned for a moment.

A name I've never heard of.

Is this some kind of "influence"?

Benjamin nodded and confirmed, "That's right, one of the three supreme monsters of the mysterious lady."

"Considering that you weren't a transcendent at that time...... I removed the remnants of this effect. ”

- Leviathan's breath.

Annan muttered, remembering the new name.

I finally got some new clues......

The reason why he didn't die after throwing himself into the sea may have been protected by the mysterious lady - or at least by "Leviathan". Carried himself to the vicinity of Frozen Water Harbor.

And the "reversal inscription" on the soul should have been carved at that time.

Thinking of this, Annan asked again: "One last question...... Do you know the inscriptions? ”

Hearing this, Benjamin paused slightly.

He nodded, then shook his head again.

"I can't count as 'knowing', I can only say 'I've heard'."

Benjamin said slowly: "The inscription is an ancient knowledge that was lost in the Second Age, and it is also a kind of mystical knowledge. And it's the highest level of mystical knowledge.

"The only inscriptions that may still be used today are those ancient false gods or twelve righteous gods who were born before the end of the Second Age.

"The curses in this world all appear in the form of some kind of ancient rune. As the highest level of language, inscription can be inserted into any sentence structure and given the highest priority...... Hence the inscription, which is also 'the power to change the spell'. Those transcendents who possess the curse of death can only hope for the inscription.

"Its existence itself is not a hidden thing. The price of using this extraordinary skill is not very large. The reason why many churches use designated 'inscriptions' as one of the highest level of rewards...... This is because the inscription can only be etched by the Pope or the gods themselves. ”

"The fragments of inscriptions mastered by different gods are different, and the only one who has mastered all the inscriptions is the mysterious lady with the alias 'The Talker of Heaven'."

Benjamin glanced at Annan and added, "If you have a need for an inscription, you can entrust it to the person in the mirror." He could go to the mysterious lady and learn about it. ”

"I don't have that need for the time being......"

Annan shook his head slowly and asked, "In other words, each spell can be etched with an inscription?" ”

"Yes, but that doesn't mean the spell will necessarily get stronger, and it may get weaker. The power of an inscription is embodied in the 'knowledge of oneself', and each spell can be etched with one inscription, but only one inscription at most, and once etched, it cannot be modified. The choice of inscription will directly change the spell they have already placed. ”

Speaking of this, Benjamin paused slightly.

When he said this, he probably guessed why Annan asked this......

He then added:

“…… All the transcendent power of this world comes from curses. Therefore, those 'special talents' that are born with them are actually a kind of spell bondage.

"It's just that these spelled runes don't float on the surface, but are engraved in the soul. In other words, that is, 'born transcendent'. Because when they were born, they had already received the first spell. The effect is like setting up a spell that will last until death.

"This spell doesn't attract the curses deposited in the gray mist, it only accelerates their growth. Another benefit is that one more inscription can be etched.

"It's not on the surface, it's in the soul – there's a risk, but it's also an opportunity. Because the inscription etched in the soul will inevitably change the essence of the soul...... This will directly change their talent.

"But what specific inscriptions correspond to what effects, and what role will they play in different spells...... I'm afraid only the mysterious lady knows. ”

I see.

Annan nodded.

He probably had an idea of how he got the inverted inscription......

Considering the residual effect of the "Leviathan's breath", it is likely that this is an inscription etched by the Mysterious Lady herself.

In other words, from the time "Annan Winter" threw himself into the sea and Annan himself woke up from the seashore - I am afraid that something happened in between.

This saved Annan and obtained the reverse inscription carved by the mysterious lady for herself, transforming the original "Heart of Winter" into a new bloodline ability that no one had ever had.

Although Benjamin is very modest to say that he doesn't know anything, you don't know very much......

"Thank you very much. I don't have a problem anymore. ”

Annan came back to his senses and replied respectfully to Benjamin.

Benjamin hummed and added in a low voice, "I heard your conversation with Sir Silver......

"If you're coming to the royal capital, remember to call the people in the mirror first. I can temporarily change your physiognomy. Also, if the fourth prince wants to return to the royal capital......

"Remember to remind him that no matter what, the Geraintes will, and will only obey the king's direct orders."

And with whom did the throne do...... It doesn't matter.

Annan read the second half of Benjamin's unspoken words.

He nodded, "I see." ”
