The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 102: “Unfallen Shield” and “Gray Professor”

Annan blinked.

He stopped talking.

Twelve obvious injuries were found all over the body, and the back of the head was chopped with a heavy sword - under such circumstances, could it still be judged as suicide by magic?

How did he chop the back of his head with a heavy sword? Throw it into the sky and then jump up to catch it?

That's so accurate.

This is second only to being shot with your hands and feet tied and shot in the back of the head.

——Could it be suicide using a Rube Goldberg device?

"The spell result should be error-free."

Longjing Cha pointed at the newspaper and explained: "Look... because this result was too bizarre, no one believed it at the time. So many wizards and ritualists came to verify it. Among them, even the 'Unfallen Shield' Jia Stace's teacher, "Grey Professor" Seti."

...Wait.

"'Grey Professor' Seti?"

Annan raised his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice with some confusion.

Isn’t Seti’s title “The Bone Healer”?

Or did this happen before Master Seti became a bone healer?

It's not just an illusion.

Maybe I’m overthinking it...

Hearing the word "Professor Gray", Annan immediately thought of "Professor Wolf".

Speak of.

Professor Wolf was expelled from the family and renamed "Professor Wolf" shortly after this, right?

Is he... trying to take advantage of "Gray Professor" Seti's popularity?

This thought came to Annan's mind for the first time.

He became a little more cautious.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look."

"Yeah."

Longjing Cha responded and handed the newspaper to Annan. Annan spread the old newspaper on the table and looked through the old records carefully.

Dove on the side also put the cat's head on Annan's arm and read the newspaper intently together.

Chocolate also put his head on Annan's shoulder in the same way, pretending to stare at the newspaper with his eyes blankly, his pupils not even moving left and right.

"...Huh?"

After reading it twice, Annan was a little surprised.

The person "Frederick Melvin" was never mentioned in the newspaper from beginning to end.

The above only mentioned that Justus received a rather mysterious mission. A big shot asked him to enter the Cinder Barrens in search of a spell.

This mission is actually quite strange.

Because the Coal Barrens was not inhabited at that time - it had just been destroyed by magma, so it should be a barren place.

In other words, there should be no danger in looking for things here. Of course, it may be buried by lava... so the most difficult part is probably to dig it out.

——Then you shouldn’t be looking for the [Infallible Shield] at all.

As a very young gold-level transcendent, "Infallible Shield" is also the most proud disciple of "Professor Gray". He is particularly good at bodyguard and security work, and his physique is extremely tough - he can even physically resist the lava attacks of the Balrog, and is a strong man who can swim in magma.

Usually they are attacked by underground monsters, or they are protecting some important person.

With his body alone, he can protect innocent people from serious harm.

"...Lian Neng Messenger?"

Annan murmured.

Fortunately, the extraordinary beings in the underground world live on the bright side. This newspaper can write so clearly.

——[Immortal Shield] Justus is the gold who advanced from the silver-level profession "Union Messenger".

As early as in "Nightmare: Gallery", Annan had seen this profession.

"United Energy Messengers" can transfer energy to each other within the visible range. Extract the life force of a certain person and use it to heal another person; or extract the mana pools of many wizards and concentrate them on one wizard.

This is a serious tool job.

No matter what country or force, such extraordinary people are welcome. As generals, they can truly "twist the power of everyone into one rope."

But on the other hand... because this profession is too practical and too tool-like.

If you want to advance to gold with this profession, it will be even more difficult.

If life is comfortable and happy, it is difficult to have a stable and pure "desire to rise" to break everything existing and rise to a higher level.

But "Unbroken Shield" did it.

He who is at the golden level is like a patron saint walking in the world.

He can transfer the trauma that others have suffered to himself; or he can transfer the attack that is about to fall on his teammates to himself in advance.

Then draw out enemies or natural power to quickly heal yourself.

Whether the heart is penetrated, limbs are broken, the skin is completely peeled off, the spine is pulled out... As long as there is still a breath of injury, Justus will not die.

He is like a human shield.

As long as he exists there and stands on the earth.

Even if the people around you are drowned by barrages, covered in rain of fire, or stabbed in the heart, cut in the throat, and crushed in the brain by an assassin, they will not suffer any injuries.

To put it simply, as long as it is the person that Justus wants to protect... Unless the target is kidnapped directly out of Justus' sight, transcendent beings below the gold level cannot kill them.

——Justus is the guardian who can give people such a strong sense of security.

Whether it is protecting the militia against monsters, fighting against natural disasters and providing rescue operations, or escorting others into dangerous areas...

As long as he stands with Justus, his teammates are equivalent to opening the "blood lock".

"...Huh?"

Annan frowned slightly.

——This is not right.

If Justus’ vitality is so tenacious...

How could he be knocked down by a simple backstab? How could he have such obvious injuries on his body?

"It seems there are a lot of doubts."

Dove said softly.

Her cat head moved slightly on Annan's arm, and she raised her head to look at Annan: "Your Highness, are you here to purify this nightmare?"

"Yeah."

Annan nodded, still thinking.

If the mission is to find something... then it is indeed possible to go with Frederic. Although the idol wizard is looking for something, although it may not be as fast as the prophet wizard and can get the result immediately, the difficulty of determination is much simpler.

As long as he "can find this thing in the future", the prophet wizard can get the result immediately; but in the same way, if it is impossible for him to find this thing... that is, the probability of completing this thing is low to a certain extent. At this time, the divination of the prophet and wizard is invalid.

But the idol wizard is different.

They have the means to turn effects into causes. Even if this thing is hidden hundreds of meters underground, as long as the ability is strong enough, it can be "searched" directly.

From this point of view, Frederick may have been approached by Justus after he took over the task.

...Then, the possibility of setting a trap in advance for murder does not seem to be that high.

You know, Frederick had not yet reached the golden level at that time.

He only advanced to gold after being expelled from his family.

At this time, he was just a silver-level idol wizard... while Justus was a gold-level human shield. ~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe Frederic is trying his best to stand and output, but his hits are not as much as Justus's return.

That's a murder with a hammer.

"But Justus was really murdered, that's true. And it was a perfect murder. No one found out what Frederick had done for so many years... He even went through this ritual, from The tragedy writer gained strength in exchange for it."

Longjing Cha concluded: "It seems that there is no way to collect intelligence outside of nightmares.

"Are there any clues about this nightmare? For example, where can I get a key or something... I think I may have to enter the nightmare to collect more information."

"Unfortunately, no."

Annan shook his head helplessly: "Naifei and I came here just to find the 'key'.

"Since the truth has not been made public for so many years...even Justus' death at the hands of Professor Wolf is a secret. Then I guess the key here must not have been discovered.

"In other words...if Professor Wolf doesn't purify this nightmare, we will most likely have to purify a brand new nightmare that no one has purified."

In other words, we have to start from the step of finding the "key".

"—You can skip the first step."

A deep voice came from the room.

Annan felt Dove's hair suddenly explode in his arms. Delicious Wind Goose suddenly opened his eyes and cast a sharp and bright gaze over him. Longjing Tea frowned slightly, took a deep breath and was ready to use the command spell at any time. .

But just then, they suddenly reacted.

This voice... seems familiar?

"Stop."

Annan stopped their work.

He was a little surprised and looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room.

In other words, looking at the person walking out of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"Benjamin...Your Highness?"
