“…… So in this way, I inherited the position of Grand Duke and roughly cleaned up the mess on the cold winter side.

"But in general...... That's "roughly] to that extent. There are still a lot of troublesome characters and troublesome things, and I can't get out of it for a while.

"But the jar of Azoth I got from Jacob the Cave Opener is a good thing. I remember that this universal solvent was a must-have, must-have precious material in some of the high-end formulations of your transformation school.

"Of course, this wouldn't be a robbery, and I've already given Jacob a fair price. For a ritual master like him, Azot, who is accustomed to a frugal life and has an overwhelming effect, is just a 'bottom-of-the-box' purchase of life money for him. Even if he breaks it, he won't use it unless it's really necessary.

"I was able to launch a surprise attack before, thanks to the powerful mass teleportation ritual he initiated with Azot. As for what the outcome will be, that has nothing to do with Jacob...... He's done the best he can. It's just a pity that more than half of this can of Azot was wasted...... Hopefully, the rest of this part can still be considered a gift.

"I bought all the rest of the Azote and stored it in a closed, low-temperature environment. Either you come over - tell me in advance before you come, and I will send someone to receive you, after all, this may be the last trip abroad in your life; Or just wait for the king-electing ceremony on Kaphne's side, and I'll stop by Noah so I can give it to you.

"When you wake up, write back to me. Set up the ceremony arena and send me your special sign. Remember to reply to the letter, by the way, ask the senior sister's opinion. ”

- Annan wrote in the letter.

When he had finished writing, he placed the letter in the ritual flame that had already been lit.

"The end of the light is a deep well without sanity."

Annan casually recited a phrase of mystical knowledge in Mr. Yao's realm, and the special letter that was still unburning in the light of the fire suddenly began to burn violently, suspended in the fire, blooming with golden flames...... It dissolves into golden points of light and dissipates into fire.

Because it's half past one in the morning.

At this time, it stands to reason that Salvatore should have slept.

The senior's sleep time is very precious, and there are only six hours a day, and Annan doesn't want to wake him...... So instead of using the ritual of the Man in the Mirror to initiate a "video call" to Salvatore, he used another relatively ancient method to send the letter directly to Salvatore.

Of course, Annan did not know the exact location of Salvatore, nor did he know whether Salvatore had a ceremonial venue for receiving ceremonial letters...... But there must be one on the Hugo Tower's side.

Moreover, Annan knew Hugo's name and appearance, so he could directly send the letter directly to the owner of Hugo's tower.

In general, the Hugo Tower Master will be in the Zedi Black Tower to provide energy to the Wizard's Tower...... So the letter would be received by Salvatore, the son of the tower.

By going around in circles, Annan was able to send letters to Salvatore across borders – many of the rituals that could not be crossed.

It's as if the Great Barrier is blocking the "signals" of these rituals. Only the high-level ritual can penetrate the Great Enchantment...... For example, the messenger ritual used by the spy ritualists.

The ritual of the Man in the Mirror was able to cross borders with ease because of the fact that He himself had a big loophole - as His name suggested, "The Man in the Mirror". The person in the mirror can itself be regarded as a kind of symbol of the person in the mirror...... Thus projecting one's influence into the person in the mirror, appearing in the mirror on the other person's side.

This is equivalent to using the divine essence of the person in the mirror, connecting point A and point B respectively, as the center of information exchange. Instead of directly allowing point A and point B to penetrate the two layers of large barriers, forcibly creating a connection.

In other words, the person in the mirror is a base station.

…… It can only be said that it is not easy to be a god in the entrepreneurial period.

In fact, the principle of the ritual of "Reflecting the Mirror of Friends" is to preserve one's image and words in the mirror. Then the person in the mirror appears from the other end, takes on the form of the other person, and speaks the words of the other person...... Then send the message back synchronously.

Because the latency is low, it looks like the two are talking directly through the mirror. But in fact, the content of the dialogue is clearly known to the people in the mirror.

This is what Annan only figured out later.

That's why he was able to use this magic to interact with Elle in the nightmare at the time. Nightmares of this magnitude are something that only the gods can intervene in—and in fact, it is.

Although the decoration style of the Grand Duke's Mansion is relatively frugal and low-key, it also has all the functions.

The ritual arena and incantation materials required for the various ceremonies have been prepared in advance and stored safely and reasonably.

Even with just a greeting, the Winter Hand, who is good at rituals, can come in from outside and hold the ceremony instead of the Grand Duke...... The previous Grand Duke Ivan was like that.

Annan, however, was more adept at using rituals than Ivan.

At least you don't have to find someone to help you shoot a "telegram" like now......

There was a lack of mirrors that could use the ritual of the Man in the Mirror, but that was also due to a lack of understanding of the new god. As early as when Annan went to the north, the mirror on the side of the Grand Duke's Mansion had also been filled.

Another reason not to use the Mirror of Friends ceremony...... It's because Annan doesn't want the people in the mirror to know about it.

The man in the mirror is indeed an allied unit. He did help Annan a lot.

But Annan still remembers that before the sublimation of the man in the mirror, he expressed strong disdain and dissatisfaction with the hand of winter in the nightmare of the White Tower.

The Duchy of Winter is indeed suspected of persecution of independent wizards...... Because these wizards are above the top and their extraordinary abilities are also at the top among the transcendents of the same level, the transcendent crime rate of wizards is always the highest among all transcendents.

Among the wizard "staff" who served the local nobility, there were also dark wizards who were wanted by the Wizard Tower. They are often involved in special operations such as destroying evidence, assassinating political opponents, and plundering resources.

…… Of course, there may be a more realistic reason.

It's just that wizards are pampered on weekdays, and they are basically from the academy, but they really lack "experience in the rivers and lakes", and their ability to finish after an accident is poor, so they will always be discovered.

Like Stalkers and Hunters, if they try to kill someone, they basically won't be detected. When they become transcendental, they are already the best in their profession, so they can become transcendent.

But this is not the case with wizards - the corresponding mortal class for wizards is "wizard apprentice".

Basically, there will be no halfway monk wizard...... The enrollment coverage of the Wizard Tower is quite wide. Anyone who is talented will be recruited into the Wizard's Tower from the age of twelve or thirteen, and no later than eighteen years at the latest.

Stay from the Wizard's Tower until you graduate before you can release it...... Basically, they either have problems with experience, or they have problems with emotional intelligence, or they have problems with both. In a high-pressure environment like winter, problems are more likely to occur.

- There is only one type of "legitimate" wizard in Winter.

That's the Winter Hand.
