The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 205: Annan’s Staff of Omniscient

That is an extremely plain and calm narrative.

Ivan apologized to Annan expressionlessly.

His pale ice-colored pupils were lifeless and heartless.

No matter how Annan listened, every word felt like a silent cry...

It was like a poisonous blade being pierced into the heart.

It is a lament that cannot even make a sound.

"I can't even let you maintain control of the Hand of Winter - I can only use the power of the scepter as little as possible, hoping that they will not realize that the Heart of Winter has lost control of the Hand of Winter. Power...

"I also know that this is not easy, especially when you are so young. It will become more difficult to suppress these seemingly loyal hands of winter. But fortunately, you have obtained the power of [Tyrant] If it is really difficult to control, you can control one or two of them, and then rely on them to indirectly rule the others.

"There is no need to shy away from the power that can change other people's minds... As long as it is power, it has value. In fact, I also thought about turning the scepter upside down to use the power of the tyrant, but in the end I still I gave up. I was mainly worried that I would rely on this power, and that I would really become a crazy tyrant.

"I hope you can understand...the year I took over the three-color scepter, I was actually only seventeen years old, fifteen years younger than your brother Dmitry is now, and younger than your sister Mary Ya is one year younger and only three years older than you... As of now, he is only two years older than you."

Ivan looked at Annan calmly: "This scepter and this destiny are your birthday gift.

"Happy birthday, Annan."

"...Thank you, Father."

Annan was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and thanked him in a low voice.

It was only then that he suddenly remembered that today seemed to be March 14th...it was really Annan's birthday.

Even Annan himself had forgotten about it.

After all, he came to this world less than a year ago. And all the previous memories have been wiped away...

Strictly speaking, this is Annan's first birthday since he came to this world.

Annan vaguely felt something surging in his heart.

At the moment when he captured that emotion, a light seemed to light up in his eyes...

—No, that doesn't "seem".

It's not a description.

Ivan could really see that Annan’s eyes were filled with pure light.

It's like looking towards the only light in a dark and lightless cave, toward the final exit.

That is the light full of hope——

...Is that the light of the sky carriage?

Ivan was also in a daze.

"——Thank you."

Just as Ivan said "I'm sorry" again, Annan also took a deep breath and said thank you seriously.

But he didn't feel the slightest sadness.

Just raised his head and showed a calm smile: "But I don't have to inherit this fate.

"Father, have you heard this sentence?"

Annan stretched out his hand again and grasped the three-color scepter.

At that moment, the light in his eyes became three times brighter.

"——[Destiny is the rut of the heavenly carriage]. For the heavenly carriage, the curse based on fate is meaningless."

Annan's tone was as calm as Ivan's, but it contained completely opposite will.

If Ivan can be said to be sad, nothing is more tragic than death.

Annan This is An Ran who holds everything in his hands.

"So I don't believe in fate. Any misfortunes or sufferings... I don't think they have ever come, and they will never come again."

He whispered.

From the secret room, Annan lowered his head and saw a crystal ball on the table.

Annan's heart moved and he stretched out his hand to hold it.

The crystal ball was activated like a living thing - it suddenly opened its eyes.

It's like a huge eyeball, and it can even blink.

The most mysterious part is that no matter from any angle, you can see a human dark gray eyeball with a slight silvery cloud.

As the power of the crane was activated, its data panel appeared in Annan's eyes:

[The omniscient eye of the faceless poet]

[Type: Rare objects/ritual props (gold)]

[Description: The crystal ball created by the Faceless Poet can not only be used to carry out precognitive rituals, but can also dispel or protect all "secrets" within the range]

[Effect: When any light approaches the crystal ball, it will be activated, automatically triggering the "Omniscient Eye", illuminating the surrounding space within fifteen yards, dispelling all darkness, fog, blinding, and invisibility effects. The effect is equivalent to the gold-level prophet spell of the same name]

[Effect: Once a day, you can use "Total Darkness" once a day to block the surrounding light and sound. Its effect is equivalent to the Silver-level idol spell of the same name, which can last for up to three hours. When this effect is turned on, because there is no "light", the "Omniscient Eye" effect will be automatically terminated]

[Price: After using "Total Darkness", the holder will lose vision and hearing for three times the duration of "Total Darkness". 】

"This is a charm used to detect whether someone has sneaked into a secret room."

Ivan noticed Annan's gaze and said casually: "Although it is a curse with the name of God, it is generally not used... If you like it, just take it away.

"Anyway, no one will use this secret room for a long time."

"No, I was just thinking about something else..."

Annan thought about it and whispered: "If I suddenly use the three-color scepter upside down, will it make others suspicious? They may not directly realize that this is the great spell of the Principality of Winter. , but you will definitely realize that it has meaning beyond 'power symbol'.

"Once someone is targeted, it will become a lot more troublesome anyway. And in order to make them no longer suspicious, I decided..."

Annan said, slowly placing the crystal ball on the top of the scepter.

The scepter was extremely heavy, making a heavy muffled sound like pure copper when it fell to the ground. But after Annan knew its true name, he didn't feel any weight when holding it in his hand.

This sturdy vine is neither gold, nor copper, nor wood. It has the toughness of a praying meow, but when touched carefully, it seems to have a carapace-like texture. ~IndoMTL.com~ They perfectly fixed the crystal ball on it - even after Annan put the crystal ball on it, the three branches squirmed like living creatures, hugging it tighter.

The silver-gray eyeballs blinked in a panic, but then inexplicably became quiet and closed again.

"This is perfect, not obtrusive at all."

Annan smiled complacently: "When people see this scepter again, they will only focus their attention on the crystal ball. And the scepter under it will become a shelf for the 'Omniscient Eye'. Ignored.

"The rumor spread again, saying that it was because someone was assassinating me - and in order to prevent the assassination, I combined the Omniscient Eye with the three-color scepter. It was made into a new scepter for the Duke of Winter.

"Looking at it this way, it looks quite decent. I remember that there were people in the Theocracy who used huge gems, skulls or crystal **** as the heads of scepters... This can be regarded as a tradition, and it does not It seems abrupt."

——I’m such a genius.

Annan said proudly.

Later, when the secret room opened again.

Winter's Hand, who had been waiting outside, noticed that Grand Duke Ivan's hands were empty when he left the secret room.

The three-color scepter has fallen into Annan's hands.

So they knelt down, saluted and paid tribute to Ivan.

"——No gift."

Annan took a deep breath and whispered: "I'm back."
