Chapter 156: A Journey with the Ship

Replace complex and difficult doubles with spells that anyone can use.

This can also be considered a kind of black-box treatment of spells - the user doesn't need to know the complex principles to use them smoothly.

This idea of spelling spells did give Annan some ideas......

"However, since it's a curse, there's a possibility that it can be unraveled, right?"

Annan looked up at Nefertari and asked.

After all, they are not real spellcasters.

If something goes wrong, there is no way to fine-tune it - for example, the person in the mirror can of course modify the appearance and body shape of "Girlandaio", and can also deprive or give more power. But Annan himself could not do this.

Because he's just a user.

"That's right."

Nefertari replied, "All stand-in spells can be turned back. But the conditions are certainly different...... This is determined by the one who transforms it into a spell. ”

[The final work "David"] is a spell made by the man in the mirror, so its rules are related to "mirror" and "time". That is, the cooldown time is the same as the usage time. This is also specially optimized for Annan's use.

Dove and Chocolate's state can be restored by going through the elven portal one more time; In the case of elf leather gloves, it should be more difficult...... Annan speculated that he might need to chop his hands off or peel off the skin.

This basically means that you can't go back.

However, based on the creator's thinking, this kind of stand-in spell in the third generation was originally intended to plunder the lives of others. They didn't think about how to change back in the first place.

"How exactly Celicia can turn back into Solo Nick is probably something that only Professor Wolf knows."

Nefertari pondered earnestly, "If you need any information about the Winterbreakers...... Why don't you look for Professor Wolf with Celicia? ”

"It's hanging. Professor Wolf will definitely avoid me, and I can't just catch a gold-level idol wizard. ”

And look at the degree of completion of "Celicia".

Professor Wolf may have perfectly combined the abilities of the two main departments of the Idol School.

The original "Frederick" was particularly good at the law of similarity, and "Dream Eater" was good at the law of touch. Then he is equivalent to the all-round wizard of the idol school, and has mastered the abilities of the whole school.

If you want to catch him, I'm afraid it's more troublesome than finding the Winterbreaker directly.

"If she doesn't come back, I can't convict her."

Annan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

After all, Celicia is not an unknown person. She's even a star...... Moreover, it has close ties with high-level officials in many countries.

After changing the name, it was either the Imperial Decree School or the Idol School...... All spells, rituals, and magic that rely on your "real name" will also be displaced.

This is also the reason why the ceremonial masters of the Duchy of Winter have been unable to locate Thoronik for so many years.

Because when Thoronik is "Celicia", "Thorongique" as a whole will be regarded as not in the world.

That is, "This user was not retrieved".

The tragic writer knows this because it is part of a "conspiracy" and is carried out by his "new pope" Professor Frederick. So He saw it with His own eyes.

But the tragic writer is not the Twelve Righteous Gods.

Even if Annan believed His word, His word could not be used as evidence.

But apart from this sentence of the tragic writer, Annan has no evidence to prove that "Celicia" is "Thoronik...... Unless "Celicia" is turned back.

And without clear evidence, it is impossible to want the other party.

Although her power is largely dependent on the treasure ship "Silver", she is also more or less a gold-level transcendent who has mastered the power of the elements. It would be difficult for the Silver Winter's Hands to kidnap her silently...... And if the army is dispatched, the revolt provoked from the underground city will only be more intense, regardless of the losses.

Originally, Thoronik was not a particularly valuable person. His value lies in the fact that he is the icebreaker with the weakest counterintelligence capabilities.

The other members of the Icebreaker Army are all from the Winter Hand. They came from being an espionage agency, let alone catching them. It's hard to get the other Winter Hand to find them.

And although Thoronik is the leader of the icebreakers, he is not from the Winter Hand.

…… Shamefully, he's the only person in the Duchy of Winter who can be caught.

If you can catch him, then maybe you can catch other icebreaker remnants. It is even possible to get key intel on Vladimir the Winterbreaker.

But after all, it's just "maybe" and "maybe".

It's not cost-effective to lose friendly relations with the underground city or even provoke other forces just for the sake of a possibility. After all, the search for Thoronik was because Vladimir's alternative plan could not be found and could not be caught.

"I always feel like I have been ......swept away by a tragic writer" 2018

Annan muttered.

Knowing that it would be so tricky, he went to ask Philip about the situation.

However, it is precisely because he knows that the situation here is tricky enough that there is no need to continue to let players search for Thoronik in the underworld.

I'm afraid that will only startle the snake.

Let them expand and build a teleportation array with peace of mind. The quest to find Thoronik and Vladimir the Winterbreaker is a little bit more stoppable.

“…… That's it. ”

Annan thought for a moment, and quickly made a new plan: "Change the main mission of the Hidden Eye from 'finding Solnik and Vladimir' to searching for the silver of the 'ship in stone'."

"—I'm going to take a boat ride in the stone myself. As a 'passenger', approach Celicia and take the opportunity to initiate a deal with her. ”

If it is very troublesome to convict Celicia.

Then it's better to think backwards...... Let her be completely exonerated from her crimes.

The oaths and commitments made in the capacity of Annan are undoubtedly credible. Make her a tainted witness to report others in exchange for removing Thoronik's arrest.

In this way, she doesn't have to worry about being arrested and hunted down when she goes to the world above the ground. Then she'll be free to go wherever she wants - using this as a deal should be weighty.

At the moment, of the three enemies Dmitry is searching, Professor Wolf is only looking for a way to ascend; And Solonike, or "Celicia", has a new life of her own.

The only danger is Vladimir, the Reverse Winterist.

The biggest traitor in the Duchy of Winter.

So far, Annan has not even been able to find his motives.

He didn't even know why Vladimir would suddenly betray the Hand of Winter.

"However, the 'ship in the stone' has been moving across the rock formations. How many people want to find clues to it but can't ......"

Nefertari looked at Annan with some concern: "And even if you really find it, you are alone on the ship, what if something happens?"

"She's a gold-tier transcendent, and there's a lot of retinue on board. And Your Highness, you are only silver.

"Getting her out of the way is naturally a good deal. But Your Highness, you're the only heir to the Duchy of Winter, right? If Celicia had a connection with the Winterbreakers, and the purpose of her travels was related to the Winterbreakers...... Then this is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. ”

As a wise man, she must have tried her best to stop such a bold and almost capricious plan.

But Annan just smiled.

"If you want to break the deadlock, you have to take risks."

There was not the slightest fear in his eyes: "It is precisely because it is very dangerous for me to go there in person, and Celicia herself will know this. That's why it seems sincere. ”

Moreover, Annan is not without a backhand.

He can teleport players to him whenever he wants. The resurrection power is opened...... It doesn't matter whose home field it is.

That's it, so I don't have to talk to Nefertari.

"As for how to catch the 'silver'...... Then let me go back to the dead of winter first, and hire the Hidden Eye in the official name.

Then they were dispersed along with the information itself. Celicia must have known what I was hinting at...... When she found out about it, she would stop and let me go.

"Until then, let them follow where Silver came to be—a journey with the ship."

And, at the latest, at the latest......

At the end of June, Vladimir the Winterbreaker and Captain Selicia of the Stone Captain will go to the Bone Farm to fight for the Holy Bones.

Until then...... Annan would go to Zedi Black Tower and use the nightmare of Bernardino that Hugo helped Annan purify to advance to the Golden Tier.

And this quota is directed to "Gilandaio" rather than "Annan".

That was probably Annan's first chance to meet the unsuspecting Vladimir. Until then, everything needs to be prepared.

And May 1 is Noah's election day. At that point, Kaphne will definitely need his help.

I am afraid that from May to June, Annan will not have any time.

It's early March.

"In other words, there are less than two months left......

Annan muttered, "I have to go back to winter first." Spread the information about Annan's return to Japan. ”

Preferably within a month...... It is necessary to deal with the affairs of Celicia once and for all.
