The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 20: “The Scammer and the Preacher”

"Tell me about it, kid."

Although he was attacked, there was no anger on "Ghirlandaio"'s face.

"What's your name? Why did you attack me, a passerby?"

He just played with the loot in his hands and asked gently: "Who sent you here?"

There is still a kind and calm smile on his face, but this smile does not warm people's hearts at all. Instead, it makes people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts just by looking at it.

The werewolf girl, who had her hands tied behind her head and was kneeling cowering in front of Annan, could not help but show fear when she caught a glimpse of Annan's eyes.

Of course she knows about the existence of "extraordinary beings".

In other words... when she was planning to do this, she had already made plans that she might die at the hands of a certain transcendent in the future.

But having such an intention does not mean that she will directly challenge the dignity of the extraordinary.

"Why, why..."

Although she was asked by Annan, the werewolf girl had already lost her reason to answer this question.

Clearly there is no so-called "carrying object".

Not even bronze jewelry.

But the spell he got that could make people obey... was directly deflected by him.

And why...the frost beast would obey his orders?

It's over, everything is over...

She just trembled and murmured softly.

The almost completely manifested fear was reflected in those dark, dull pupils.

In front of her, at Ghirlandaio's feet, squatted a translucent white ghost wolf.

——But it was actually neither a wolf nor a dog, but a frost beast.

It had eaten and drank enough and was wagging its tail contentedly. Like a pet dog, it crawled between the middle-aged man's legs and rubbed Ghirlandaio's legs with its own body. leg.

The emotion of feeding the frost beast was naturally obtained from the werewolf girl.

After being sucked by the frost beast, she completely lost her resistance and did not dare to escape or resist. The spirit instantly became decadent, and the thoughts were pale and weak.

And Annan was playing with the two crystal bells.

This is the charm he got from the werewolf girl:

["Scammer and Preacher"]

[Type: Accessories/Wonderful Objects (Purple)]

[Description: Two crystal bells tied together, white and purple. There will be no sound when any one is shaken, but if two are shaken at the same time, an accident will occur]

[Effect: When two bells are shaken at the same time, "Friendship" (its effect is equivalent to the spell of the Idol School of the same name) and "Manipulation of People's Heart" (its effect is equivalent to the spell of the Soul-stealing School of the same name) are simultaneously released on the designated target; this The effect can only be activated once per day and is refreshed at sunrise (it has been activated today). 】

[Price: When you shake the bell, you will get the attention of everyone around you]

——This is undoubtedly a very precious charm.

It is completely ineffective for Annan because the body of "Ghirandaio" itself is immune to mind control and will also deflect all spells of the prophet school and idol school below the gold level.

Using the spells of the Soul-stealing School and the Idol School to attack Annan will result in no results.

But just because it is ineffective for Annan, it does not mean that it is not easy to use.

Its price cannot withstand its extremely powerful, concealed and practical effect. Even the price itself can be used as a group taunt.

Purple strange thing...

Purple props are not golden props. Although they are cherished, they are not that precious. It can be made entirely using cursed materials and high-level influences.

But that's what I said.

Can a werewolf who is not even a transcendent...or even a lowly status wolf who is discriminated against in the winter, really be able to possess such a level of props?

Annan is just a special case among special cases.

Using these two spells at the same time, if the opponent has no defense, it is almost certain to hit even against a Silver-level transcendent.

The "friendly technique" used to generate goodwill and reduce defensiveness, if used properly, can also create the idea of ​​"I am quite compatible with this person" in people's minds. Using "manipulation of people's hearts" at this time will not only increase the success rate, but also prevent the other party from noticing that they are being manipulated - the experience of friendship will cover up the unreasonable actions during the period of manipulating people's hearts.

Whether it is used to make friends with wealthy businessmen or nobles, or to form a bond with a transcendent person... it can even be used to murder.

As long as your social skills are sufficient and you don't make people feel uncomfortable, it's almost equivalent to the mysterious hypnosis in those weird works.

Having a tool of this level is only used to be a soul thief...

...how to put it.

It felt to Annan like he was driving every day to steal the pancakes and fruits downstairs.

"My name is... Doreen, my lord."

Doreen's mood calmed down a little, and at least she was able to speak intermittently.

The fear in her eyes still hasn't dissipated - after losing all positive emotions, the whole world is like hell. Any negative emotion will expand indefinitely if it is not counteracted.

"No one sent me...it's true!"

She defended almost mournfully: "But, but, sir——

"Someone told me... Yes, it was said yesterday. He said that several wealthy businessmen from Noah would come here tomorrow. He did not say what you look like, I just heard that you had a promise Asian accent...I didn't originally want to steal your feelings and sell them to others, but to sell them to yourself..."

The speech of the werewolf Doreen was a little confusing, but Annan could still understand it.

It seems that someone told Doreen the itinerary of Annan and the others and asked her to come here to intercept him.

But...yesterday?

He frowned slightly.

That was exactly when they set off from Noah. However, the news of Annan's trip~IndoMTL.com~ did not tell too many people...even according to their original itinerary, they should still be in Noah by now.

It's because Father Shi let Nicholas go, and also because Kaifuni is about to succeed to the throne.

And it was Annan himself who finally made up his mind.

…Who leaked the news to Doreen?

What is his purpose?

In order to use this spell on Annan - or someone close to Annan? Or is it to get Annan to notice her?

Because Doreen and Bella look alike?

That's a pity, Annan has no memory at all.

But in terms of age... Bella was already seventeen or eighteen when Annan was about eight or nine years old. And Doreen now looks about only thirteen or fourteen years old. Whether she is a biological daughter or a biological sister, she feels that something is slightly wrong.

Annan thought for a moment and asked in a gentle voice: "What exactly did he say, little girl?

"Don't panic, take your time... Did he name a few people? What are their appearance and characteristics? Can you tell me who he is?"

"...No, no. No."

Dolene shook her head and said hesitantly: "He said they were two men and two women... He didn't say anything other than that. So I'm not sure if it's right...

"That's my 'teacher'. He gave me this charm."

"Then do you know his name?"

Annan gave up hope and asked symbolically: "Maybe a nickname will do."

"Know."

Unexpectedly, Doreen gave the answer readily: "He said his name was Nicolas Flamel."

In a voice with a winter accent, Doreen read out the slightly distorted name.

But Annan immediately recognized what it was.

The so-called Nicolas Flamel...

——Another way to pronounce the name Nicholas Flamel.
