The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 47: Paint given by God
After Amos left Elle's room, Annan quickly put on his clothes.
But he didn't go out immediately.
Instead, he turned around and locked the door, then took out the book - "The Curse and Seal of the Soul" from under the pillow, and read it calmly.
There is no doubt that this is the best time.
Amos is a very smart and gentle man.
He must be apologetic and embarrassed for the offense he just caused. Although this would not allow him to do anything according to Annan's words, at least he would not break into Ai Lei's room again.
So at this time, even if he thinks that Ai Lei has been in the room for too long, he will not break in again.
Because he will think that this is Ailei's punishment for him - in his understanding, Ailei must be angry. Leaving him alone outside for more than ten minutes was a kind of petty punishment, and it was also time for Ai Lei to calm down.
Then Amos won’t wander around. Instead, he would stay quietly in the kitchen, waiting for Annan to go out.
Otherwise, once Annan goes out and doesn't see him, she might get angry again... Based on Annan's one-sided understanding of Ai Lei, she should indeed have such a reaction.
And because Ailei was exposed in front of him, Amos was forcibly reminded by Annan that "my daughter has grown up" and needs some private space. Feeling a sense of moral guilt, Amos would not search Elle's room again.
Then the **** kitchen knife and the book "The Curse and Seal of the Soul" hidden in the cabinet by Annan would not be easily discovered.
Of course... The premise is that Annan can't really stay too long.
Fortunately, this book is the best research one.
Because it has a bookmark inside it, it happens to be stuck on the most important page. So Annan didn't waste any time and could directly see the core content.
"...Seals using paintings as a medium also need to use the ritual of communicating with the Bone Gong, the Bone Burying Granny, and the Dragon in the Mirror. Among them, the Skeleton Gong's ritual is more recommended, because in the first ceremony, the Bone Gong almost No need to pay the price..."
Seeing these somewhat familiar words, Annan's heart moved slightly.
Could it be...
He held the page in his right hand and turned to the title page with his left hand.
"...Gryaznuha Winter."
Annan slowly read out this already somewhat familiar name.
Should I say it was as expected?
Why is it you again?
Is Amos’s wife a fan of yours?
Or should we say that this author with the blood of Lord Winter is also a best-seller... a best-selling writer of banned books?
Also, do you have a grudge against Mr. Bones? Or is it just right for Mr. Bones? Why does every book have to teach its readers how to pluck the bones of the Duke...
Annan curled his lips and turned the book back.
"...If the person performing the ritual is a painter, the Skeleton Master will ask whether the other party wants 'paint', 'brush' or 'paper'. At this time, the best choice is 'paper'.
“Because if the person performing the ritual chooses the pigment, then the Skeleton Lord will give a special pigment that can silently peel off part of the other person’s spirit when painting the other person’s portrait and store it in the portrait.
"Its advantage is that the other party will not notice anything, and this part of the spirit can be trained into a guardian spirit or used to curse the enemy. The guardian spirit can be in all the paintings painted by this painter using this paint Free movement; but the disadvantage is that these spirits cannot escape from the portrait. And the amount of paint obtained in one ritual is limited and cannot form effective abilities.
"And the paintings made using this pigment will make the portraits extraordinarily realistic. Far beyond the normal level of the painter, it is easy to be exposed. Therefore, it is not recommended.
"Except for the inability to choose paint, the remaining two options are relatively common. Next, the differences between the two options will be described, as well as how to seal the soul and cast a curse in detail..."
The following part will turn the page.
Annan carefully read the following parts before closing the book.
As expected...the next two options are to trick others into signing their names with a "pen", and to use paper to write deeds and contracts. None of it has anything to do with painting.
At this moment, a reminder flashed in front of Annan’s eyes:
[Exploring the secrets of Amos Morrison] This branch task has been successfully completed by him.
"As expected..."
Annan murmured.
Everything is clear.
"Our Mr. Amos should be a well-known talented painter. He has extraordinary persistence and talent for painting and beauty.
"But he was in great pain because of some kind of obsession-perhaps he felt the limit of his talents, or for some other reason. By looking through the collection of books left by his deceased wife, he accidentally found the contract signed with the Skeleton Duke method.
"He doesn't need the power of Skeleton King to curse others. Instead, he wants to borrow that 'magic paint' to enhance his paintings. Let him paint things that he cannot use ordinary paints and cannot do with his own abilities. The things drawn..."
That is, the human soul.
In this case, everything makes sense.
After Mr. Amos tried to use this paint to paint portraits, he could no longer escape the magic of this paint and could not accept his previous mediocrity...
He could not accept the "garden" he painted, perhaps because he could not use this paint to bring out the soul of the garden; he did not dare to use this paint to paint a portrait of his daughter Ai Lei because he was worried that it might affect Ai Lei. of health.
——But he dared to use this paint to paint for others.
So Annan had no sympathy for the poor painter who was targeted by the Skeleton King.
Everything is your own fault.
From Annan's perspective, his original paintings were already quite excellent. And he is only in his thirties now...many painters become famous only in their old age.
But he couldn't wait any longer.
This may be the first bottleneck period he faces in his life. Because of his outstanding talents ~ IndoMTL.com ~ he had a smooth life and never encountered setbacks... Even before he got the paint, he was able to be invited to paint a portrait of the Viscountess - and even painted two Second-rate.
Given Amos' age, this is enough proof of his talent.
Although there are still many unsolved mysteries...
For example, why did Amos do this, why did he eat Ai Lei’s eyes, and why was Ai Lei sealed into the painting by him; that entire gallery said that at least a hundred paintings were from Where did she come from? Is this viscountess the wife of the old viscount in Roseburg now...and why the entire frozen water port will be cursed.
But those secrets must be hidden in higher-level copies.
He only entered the third level this time, so it is normal for him not to get all the information.
Anyway, Annan can enter the dungeon at any time...and maybe he can trick players into helping him decrypt it.
Annan can guarantee that players will definitely like this.
At least during the gallery stage, the excitement... was like a person with a dull sense of taste tasting spicy Sichuan hot pot for the first time.
Oh, by the way, you can create a live broadcast channel for them. Annan had seen this feature in the background before.
Although it cannot be disclosed to the public for the time being to be on the safe side, you can still post it on the forum so that other players can come and watch their copy strategies. It’s a good time to give it a try. In this case, the players who are watching the live broadcast - and Annan who is watching, can retain the memories lost when the players failed...
Now, it's almost time to end this instance.
Annan looked at the lonely [survive] and showed a gentle and kind smile.
——Then, he took out the kitchen knife from the dressing table.
