The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 271: Eyes of Frost

"...Okay."

Although Annan was a little concerned about what the "afterimage" was, he still nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that Kaifni had extraordinary perception. It is normal for her to be able to see the world that ordinary people cannot see.

...Speaking of which, he still doesn't know much about Kafeni.

But at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in Annan's mind.

He asked: "Kafni... is there anything you want or like?"

Annan's question about Kaifni's preferences has nothing to do with his plan.

This is Annan's plan to take advantage of Kafni's young age and lack of wariness about him... to find out information that can be used outside of nightmares. After all, this is just a nightmare. When the nightmare is over, Kaifni will not remember anything that happened in it.

In that case, even if the nightmare strategy fails in the end... Annan will not be too much of a loser if he gets the key information.

Kafni was startled when she heard this.

She was silent for a while and replied in a low voice: "I want...a gift."

"...What gift?"

"Birthday gift."

She replied softly.

Those transparent glazed pupils made her always look like an emotionless doll. But only at this time, Kaifuni seemed to have a more "human touch".

Kafni turned her head slightly, with a complex expression on her delicate and childish face like a doll: "Today is August 8th... It is His Majesty's birthday, and it is also my birthday. Me and His Majesty the King’s birthday is on the same day.

"But no one remembers my birthday. They only remember His Majesty's birthday...

"I think maybe only if you become a king... your birthday will have the meaning of being remembered."

But he didn’t wait for Kaifni to finish.

Annan began to fumble around on himself.

Seeing his behavior, Kafni was in a daze.

...Does he really want to give himself a gift?

But then some eagerness and expectation arose in her heart.

Her father has been busy preparing for His Majesty the King's birthday since he got up in the morning.

He hasn't even said happy birthday to Kaifni.

And her mother didn't care about Kaifuni's birthday.

Also before Kafni got up, her mother also disappeared - as if she had disappeared from the world.

It was precisely because Kafni felt lonely on her birthday that she went to the garden through the secret room to paint in the presence of foreign guests.

"I do have a gift to give you..."

Annan replied affirmatively.

He had already checked before - Annan had no weapons that could be used for self-defense, but he did carry a blue ring, a badge and a marble.

After this badge is activated, it can immediately call the Hand of Winter in the vicinity; while the ring is a spell made with the craftsmanship of the Principality of Winter. Its effect is that it can detect hostility, actively use it, and can also make all nearby possessors The hostile unit is forced to freeze for a period of time - it contains the element of frost and can only be used once before it must be recharged.

Obviously, these two things cannot be given to Kaifni.

But that gem marble does.

【Eye of Frost】

[Type: Material/Orb/Gem (Blue)]

[Description: A specialty of the Principality of Winter, an orb that stays cold even in boiling water]

[Effect: Actively used to try to dispel mind control and hallucinations. 】

[Effect: When equipped, the mind is kept awake at all times, making the holder's mental state stable. 】

[Cost: Each time the active effect is used, the holder's body temperature will drop by one degree, lasting for one day. This price stacks. 】

Blue materials are not considered precious... Annan's own spells and materials basically start from dark blue and are mixed with purple and gold. For example, the ring and the badge are both purple-level charms.

Giving a gift like this won’t seem too weird.

And it's very beautiful...like an ice blue glass marble, very beautiful. Just perfect for a little girl.

It is usually placed in Annan's inner pocket, and Dmitri will not ask where it went in a short period of time - Annan can leave after fighting the nightmare anyway.

And according to Annan’s memory...

About a year or two later, after Kaifni became a transcendent.

She will realize the existence of "Dream Stealer" Denton.

At that time, Kaifni directly overloaded the curse on herself, allowing herself to be highly corroded by the curse... only then could she resist the dream stealer's mind control ability.

...If Kaifuni could have such a treasure in real history. Presumably there would be no need for such dangerous behavior.

"Here you go."

With this thought in mind, Annan handed the marbles in his arms to Kafni.

He explained in a low voice: "This marble can relieve mind control. If you wear it, you can also refresh your mind and stay awake... It is of no use to me, but it is good for you. Something.

"Remember not to use too much, otherwise you may catch a cold and get sick. You can usually put it in a gem box and use it once a day at a specified time."

"...is it a curse?"

Kafni, who was just trying to ask for a gift, opened her eyes in shock.

She originally just wanted to ask for a copy of Annan's gloves or accessories as a souvenir.

After all, based on Kafni's understanding of her status, she sadly felt that... after Annan returned to China, they might never meet again.

Annan was ~IndoMTL.com~ the first peer after she was born who didn’t think she was a monster and was afraid and disgusted with her... She was also the only one, including her parents, who believed her from the bottom of his heart. The painting is very beautiful.

He is Kaifuni's only friend.

But unexpectedly, Annan directly gave her... something not so ordinary.

Just the coolness she felt when touching this "marble" told Kaifuni that it was an extraordinary thing.

Although Annan is able to hold multiple cursed objects, that is because the Winter family has a rare bloodline. But at this time, Noah's royal family had not died to the point where there were only three heirs left... and they had a lot of heirs. And because the old king was particularly able to survive, almost every heir had many heirs.

The only exceptions are the eldest princess Elizabeth, who is still single, and the fourth prince who has only one daughter.

For Kafni, who has not yet become a transcendent and has a low status in the royal family, this is indeed a precious gift.

It was so precious that she even hesitated to accept it.

Annan realized Kaifuni's entanglement and vague inferiority, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

You are obviously a princess...Is this really okay?

"Just accept it," Annan replied forcefully. "At worst, when you see me again, just give me a gift of the same value.

"Without wasting time, I'll leave first - you have to remember to draw. The sound can be clearer."

"...Okay."

Kafni agreed softly.

She clenched the orb in her hand, feeling a little touched in her heart.
