The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 170: Vladimir’s last ripple
The former "Solonik".
Today's "Celicia".
The moment they are stacked together in my mind.
Annan felt as if lightning flashed through his mind, just like a detective having an inspiration.
The tragedian's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
That was the information Annan obtained in exchange for forty Holy Light Seals a long time ago - an answer equivalent to all the information on the "Great Curse"!
“——You must be curious, why did Solonik suddenly disappear back then?
"——The answer is very simple. Because he contacted Professor Wolf who had just regained his life at that time.
"——And Professor Wolf gave him a new name, a new body, and a new identity. [Solonik] is completely dead.
"Her new name is, [Celicia]."
At that time, Annan focused all his attention on the name "Celicia".
The former Solonik was actually the captain in the stone?
The legendary, beautiful and dangerous "poppy poppy in deep rocks"?
"You really know how to play."
Annan sighed at that time.
But if I think about it now...
In fact, as early as the beginning, the tragedy writer had already given Annan quite complete information. But at that time, Annan failed to pay attention to the most important details due to negligence and poor information.
When Annan got new information, it was difficult to immediately think of this "already fully utilized" information.
Just like when searching for a house, it is difficult to remember to look for a place you have already searched for once... let alone such a long time ago.
Now Annan suddenly had an inspiration and remembered the content of "Praise for the Name of the Sky Crane", and then remembered the nightmare of "Gemini"...
Annan also did not expect that the tragedy writer would be so honest - or in other words, this was his pleasure.
Obviously all the information was given at the beginning, but Annan didn't guess it. Then when Annan realizes this, he will definitely feel regret for it... It's like someone told you that the murderer is beside you from the very beginning, but he didn't realize it until the end.
That feeling of remorse is the tragedian's food - and he undoubtedly does it on purpose. He layered important information under the surface information just to see Annan's expression.
"But he was still disappointed."
Annan said in a deep voice: "Before things became irreversible... I had found the whole truth.
"Please stop for a moment... Arthur, Orpheus."
"What truth are you talking about?"
Euphemia on the side asked subconsciously.
But Lucia was stunned.
The moment Annan raised this matter.
The centaur girl seemed to have seen something, her eyes became empty.
——That is the future vision of the horse people.
In sync with her, Annan took a deep breath.
"I think you should know... Selicia's previous name was 'Solonik', right."
The argument was interrupted.
After hearing this, Ao Feishi also turned around and nodded.
"...Yes. She used to be a male...including her previous name, we already know it."
"There is no point in hiding this kind of thing."
Arthur added: "We must know each other well enough so that there will be no trouble during some key rituals. For example, what Selicia is using now is just a very lifelike 'doll'.
"Then, if Mr. Yao's ritual is used to treat it, it will destroy this shell. On the contrary, Father Shi's ritual for repairing palaces and stone statues can be used to treat Selicia very well."
"You're right."
Annan said, glancing at Selicia: "But I think... all you know is 'her name and identity'."
Hearing this, Selicia suddenly realized something.
She guessed what Annan wanted to say.
She raised her head and looked at Annan with pleading eyes.
She didn't want the secret to be known to her companions.
Annan just looked back with a calm look and said calmly: "What you know is only the information about 'Solonik's betrayal of the Hand of Winter'. So... what about before that? ”
He said while looking around.
From people's eyes, Annan had a rough guess.
——I am afraid that only the centaur girl Lucia knows everything, but she keeps this secret very well and does not tell anyone.
Annan continued to answer: "As far as I know... the former 'Solonik' was a born 'murderer'.
“It’s not so much that he is good at the work of the Hand of Winter, or that he is good at swordsmanship...it would be better to say that what he is good at is the ‘art for killing people’.
"He had the skill and interest in killing, but he had no motive for killing. He was also full of confusion about the world. He didn't know what he wanted to do or where he should go... So his teacher at the time, Vladimir took him to join the Hand of Winter.
"At that time, Solonik was not good at anything. He was not sure about anything and always wanted others to give him ideas. When he encountered a problem, he would be at a loss and hoped that others would give him advice. Give some help.
"He always felt that he looked ordinary and did not dare to look at others, so he always lowered his head, which made his back become rickety; he dared to devote his life to all tasks-not because he He has enough loyalty to the Principality of Winter, but because he does not think his life has any value.
"——Yes, Solonik believes that his life is meaningless and empty, and it doesn't matter even if he dies."
When Annan said this, he glanced at the other members of the Silver Brigade with deep meaning: "Can you imagine? This is the 'Celicia' you know."
"...How is that possible."
Euphemia frowned: "The 'Celicia' we knew from the very beginning was not like this..."
"I can prove it."
Arthur replied: "I should be the first to know Celicia. At that time, she was already full of confidence - she did not have these personality flaws, but was a person full of brilliance."
“That’s the problem. You can’t imagine it, so you can’t find the ‘previous Selicia’; we can’t imagine it, so we can’t find the ‘present Solonik’.”
Annan replied: "If you just 'changed a beautiful body', would your personality be so reversed in an instant?"
Eufemia's pupils shrank slightly.
"Could it be that..."
She suddenly guessed the truth of the matter: "'Selicia' and 'Solonik' are really two people?"
Hearing this statement, even Selicia herself looked stunned.
Annan narrowed his eyes.
His eyes became darker. ~IndoMTL.com~ When Vladimir, the Inverse Winter, had his last conversation with Annan, he once said something that Annan could not understand.
"——The original Solonik will die underground... No matter how long, Selicia is just his mask, he will always be Solonik. But after getting involved with you, he is completely Became Selicia."
"——Solonik would not attach so many elements to 'death', and he would not try to seek value in 'death'. When I realized that he had become Selicia. I He gave up on killing her and left..."
"——You have changed his destiny. He can no longer die as Solonik...or in other words, the former Solonik has been killed by you."
At that time, Annan thought this was just an exaggerated and somewhat poetic "description".
But if you say it the other way around...
Was what Vladimir said at that time all true?
