The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 172: Arthur’s Heart of Nothingness

Latest website: Ingrid’s ceremony was not arranged for herself from the very beginning—it was arranged for “Celicia” as a substitute!

Why did Ingrid suddenly start stalling?

What is the secret of "just delay and win"?

In fact, it has nothing to do with where she is or what she did...

Even if Annan leads the players to defeat all of Ingrid's followers, it will be of no avail.

Those menacing "ex-boyfriends' army" are just stand-ins thrown out to attract Annan's attention.

That was Ingrid's conspiracy - or, in other words, part of the "ritual".

Starting from the "Poisonous Hand" to the cargo ship "full of" demon blood... Ingrid has been hinting to Annan that she has many subordinates and has special techniques for players.

This is just for Annan to call the players over.

And if Annan wants to cover up the existence of the players, he must call back the Silver Brigade—or, mainly, Orpheus Denisoa among them.

Also because Annan is a good person...it is impossible for him to sell Selicia to Offishi as a bargaining chip. So he will definitely call everyone back together.

When Arthur Burning Fang and Selicia, who had awakened and severed all ties with "Solonik", got together again, Ingrid's ritual had already begun to take effect!

"I think you should also know..."

Annan looked at Arthur meaningfully.

"Why did 'Celicia' contact you first? The reason is simple, because the real target that Professor Wolf is looking for is you. Others are just a cover to distract the gods. That's all. In other words, they are used to 'compete' with you for Selicia, in order to catalyze the 'love' in your heart.

"——So, what's so special about you?"

Arthur was silent.

His face became gloomy and uncertain, and his nails were clenched and cut deeply into his palms. His blood flowed out and dripped on the ground, and the "hot blood" easily melted and ignited the floor.

The cold air spreading from Annan's side instantly extinguished and froze the ignited floor.

He is not a fool.

Even on "Silver", except for Lucia who likes to keep her secrets and thoughts deep in her heart and not tell others, he has always been the smartest one and has always been responsible for giving advice to others. of that.

Halfway through Annan's words, he actually understood.

It was just that at that time, he didn't really want to admit it.

When Annan finished speaking.

Arthur knew...he could no longer escape.

"The reason why I was chosen is probably because... I actually really know Ingrid."

Arthur Zhuoyang said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, she should be the son of the Lava Forbidden Tower of this generation!"

He finally understood everything.

My life is full of pain and twists and turns.

It's just a chess piece swinging in someone else's hand.

"...That's been the case from the beginning."

Arthur whispered: "I'm afraid, since I came into contact with her... everything has been doomed."

As an excellent destructive wizard, the greatest talent is Arthur's inner peace that is so calm that it is almost nothingness, and the peace that will not really make him angry even if anything happens.

In order to prevent themselves from becoming extremely angry, the Zhuoya family has cultivated their "arrogance" since childhood. When they think "I don't care" about many things, they can be regarded as controllable wizards of destruction rather than humanoid nuclear bombs.

But even so...

In Arthur's almost empty heart, there was also a ball of anger gradually coming to life.

It’s not just about being deprived of your talents.

Everyone he knows and gets to know are just chess pieces played at will by the chess players. It can even be said that they were killed precisely because of Arthur...

——Their lives were changed and went astray precisely because of their own existence.

Just the fact that "I did not perform well and harmed my teammates" would make Arthur feel extremely embarrassed.

And the fact that I just "exist" harms others...

This is something that the proud Arthur will never tolerate.

"——Not only that."

Annan replied calmly: "It's because there is only you - nothing.

"You actually hope for nothing. Among the entire Silver Brigade, you are the only one who is an outlier...you hope for almost nothing."

When Annan said this, he raised his voice and said: "Recall the nightmare in the Principality of Songs. Among you, only Arthur - only his wish, 'can be reached naturally'.

"And except for him, everyone's deepest wish is to 'distort one's life from the very beginning'. In other words, only 'restarting life' or 'in another parallel time and space' can that be accomplished. Kind of thing.

"Only Arthur - he needs nothing.

"Because his life is actually quite satisfactory. His original wish was to comply with the expectations of others and become the master of the tower. But when Arthur left the family, he no longer longed for that position.

"In other words, Arthur's desire is 'empty'.

"He originally had the possibility of advancing to gold. Because if Ingrid had not intervened, he would have been the tower master of this generation... and this is enough to prove his talent.

"The reason why he was unable to become the Lord of the Tower was not because he suddenly turned into some good-for-nothing male protagonist. The disappearance of his 'Scorching Tooth Mark' was just the least important reason... He was framed. , injected with demon blood, is the most important issue."

Demon blood is a very rare cursed material that can only be obtained by having a close connection with the Fallen.

And the blood of demons can indeed enhance the effect of destructive spells.

——The most important thing is that there are indeed people in the Zhuoya family who have taken refuge in the fallen.

And not one or two, but about a quarter of them have chosen the path of depravity.

They are generally weak-willed and unable to restrain their desire for destruction when they learn destructive spells. If they cannot bear the desire, they accidentally kill people or destroy important buildings.

For ordinary extraordinary people, it is not a problem.

But the destruction wizard generally acts as a "mediator" and becomes the person who is believed by others.

If innocent people are killed indiscriminately, they no longer have the authority to mediate.

In other words - they will be unemployed from now on, at least they will no longer be able to enter the Denisoya Privy Council. Even if it's just a "membership association", it won't work...it will fall directly back to mortals.

Because of this, many people simply choose to mess around.

Anyway, the increasingly strong desire for destruction cannot be restrained at all, and they have already killed people and can't turn back - then they might as well defect and vent their desire for destruction as mercenaries.

But wizards who have reached the Silver level can no longer turn back and enter the path of corruption. Therefore, many of them cannot truly become degenerates throughout their lives - so they will train their children and let them choose the path of depravity when they reach the bronze level, rather than the sublimation of "extermination of human desires" way.

This forms another branch.

They live outside and are far from the great power controlled by the Zhuoya family, but they can still be regarded as "Shuoya". Because of the extremely conspicuous appearance of the Zhuoya family, many of the crimes they committed will also be attributed to the Zhuoya family.

Therefore, the topic of "fallen" is very tense and sensitive on Zhuoya's side.

Although Arthur is so unlucky that there is a high probability that he did nothing and was just framed... But even if it is just a possibility of "alliance with the traitor", the elders cannot believe it.

Because, if those fallen people think so, because they may appear, "This kind of thing is unlikely, so Arthur must be innocent and framed", so they deliberately let Arthur return to the family Woolen cloth?

This is entirely possible.

"In other words ~IndoMTL.com~ Arthur's talent has not been damaged at all. It is just because of political considerations that he was deprived of the possibility of inheriting the Wizard Tower."

Annan said slowly: "Because of this, his childhood wish...that is, the wish to 'inherit the position of the Lord of the Tower and personally make this country better' cannot be fulfilled.

"Since then, Arthur has lost his 'golden soul'.

"And as long as Arthur is full of desire again...he can advance to gold at any time.

"So, under what circumstances...will Arthur have the desire for power again? Especially, this desire comes from 'his love for Selicia'."

Annan Ruo pointed out something and looked at Ofishi.

——Without a doubt.

That's it now.
