The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 209: King of the Fallen
After hanging up the one-way video call, Annan frowned and huddled in his chair, thinking.
No matter how I think about it, I feel like something is not quite right.
——If their purpose is just to obtain a lot of gold-level transcendent beings, then they don't need to go to such trouble at all.
There is a high probability that they have already begun to attack the curse cellar.
Then this also means that they have obtained the magic power.
You only need to mass-produce it first and then kill some Bronze-level transcendent beings to obtain the "foundation" for creating nightmares.
Use the spell directly to multiply the reward for clearing the level by dozens or hundreds of times. After clearing the level once, you will be full of bronze, successfully advance to silver the second time, and get full silver again, and then prepare to advance to gold——
It just provides the power of the curse. Curse energy can definitely do this kind of thing easily... This can at least **** a large number of loyal men to the peak of silver.
There won't even be any danger.
Isn’t this delicious?
As for the Far North Brotherhood, it seems that their original purpose was to obtain something purifying "beyond pure gold"...
Is this reasonable?
Their fundamental purpose should be to "prevent the shrinking barrier from destroying their luxurious life." Assassinating Annan, contacting the Icebreaker Army, raising private soldiers, and even building curse cellars, extracting curse energy, and communicating with the fallen are just "means" and not "purposes".
The stupid nobles who are eager to keep and consolidate their power are indeed not smart people, and they are definitely willing to try any taboo - after all, they will burp immediately if they don't move.
It seems unreasonable to judge them based on ordinary people's taboos and IQ.
But this circle is too big, and it is not quick at all.
It is neither safe, controllable, nor labor-saving and fast enough.
How could those timid, short-sighted, and confused idiots give priority to taking such a path?
"If you eliminate all impossibilities, only possibilities remain..."
Annan murmured.
Then there is only one result left.
——At least one traitor has slipped into the power hierarchy of the Far North Brotherhood. He at least has the absolute right to speak over other noble staff.
No, it doesn’t seem accurate to call him a traitor... because he doesn’t care what happens to the Winter Principality at all. So he is not from Annan's side.
You know, even if those nobles are idiots, the "household brains" who give them ideas are definitely smart people.
Longjing Cha could immediately realize that something was wrong just by relying on the few words he got from Saltpeter Ranch... Those aides must also be able to see that something was not right with this plan.
But it is still being implemented steadily.
This means that the identity of the person who proposed this plan may be more than one level higher than others. This will let others know something is wrong and not openly object.
Even just the Saltpeter Ranch line that provides demon blood can give us an idea of the plan. This means that the completion of this plan has reached the level that "it doesn't matter if it is leaked to partners."
——This is even more wrong.
It is even more impossible for Annan to be assassinated by only two or three miscellaneous fish and fallen people.
If they had already obtained the "satisfaction gold", then it would not be as simple as sending a few silver-level fallen ones to assassinate Annan - it must be a twenty-five-man group composed of gold-level extraordinary beings who directly pushed Shuang. Save your words...
The difference in strength between the gold-level transcendent and the gold-level fallen person is that they are not at the same level at all.
Kafni once told Annan that the essence of the power of the extraordinary is to use curses to transform the soul, while the essence of the power of the fallen is to use curses to transform the body.
Not to mention the damage caused by the unstable mind of the fallen.
The real shortcoming of the fallen path is that they are still the "gaseous souls" of bronze-level transcendent beings.
One of the signs of the fallen is that their souls are "like black smoke", while the souls of gold-level extraordinary people are "as bright as diamonds and as bright as rainbows". This means that the demonized fallen cannot obtain much elemental power at all.
It is even more impossible for them to sublimate into gods - because in the sublimation ceremony, only the soul can ride the sky carriage into the light realm.
——All this is because the quality of their souls is not enough.
And Annan knows more than Kaifni.
For example... Annan learned that the "power of elements" is not the original essential ability of this world. It only filled the world after Sui Fu burned the Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone is the blood of the world in the "virtual world", and its status is equivalent to solid curse energy.
——In other words, the real Philosopher's Stone was most likely stolen by Sui's father from the virtual world.
Before that, the soul that reached the [Dyeing] position was only "noble".
If everyone cannot use the power of elements, then the road to sublimation should be inferior to the road to fall in the same period until the sublimation ceremony is completed.
This reminds Annan of the battle between immortals and demons...
Because the path of depravity is the "beast path" of transforming the body with curses - for a world full of curses, this may be the right path.
Only the Fallen Path is more effective and powerful than the Extraordinary Path, then the Fallen Path will have the value to be passed down.
Otherwise, in the thousands or even tens of thousands of years of civilization history, it would have been eliminated long ago.
It is mentioned in "On Destiny and Half of the Mysteries of Dice" that "up is a jump, and down is a step." This is what is implicitly mentioned, the difference between the "Road of Ascension" and the "Road of Fall".
——That’s why the sublimation ceremony is called “sublimation ceremony”.
Because this is the "difference" that is unique to the road to sublimation.
It is precisely because people who learn about the sublimation ceremony too easily associate it with the road to sublimation. That's why high-ranking extraordinary beings changed the ancient name "Road to Ascension" to "Road to Extraordinary", in order to keep this secret.
No matter how Sui Fu obtained the Philosopher's Stone, the world is now full of elemental power. Only the Path of Ascension can take full advantage of this ability... This is an epic version of the enhancement of the "Dye" bit of the Path of Ascension.
Annan immediately realized at that time that the righteous gods hoped to increase the number of "gods" through this "version strengthening" method.
He is very familiar with this kind of operation... Changing the player's behavioral tendencies through "enhancement" and "weakening" is the basic skill of numerical planning.
Because gods can only be born through the "path of sublimation". And when you reach the Dyeing Stage, you can only wait for the birth of the Book of Truth... Before reaching the Truth Stage, the sublime must always be deficient. And the birth of the Book of Truth is irregular.
Is this reasonable?
This is mint.
The addition of the concept of "power of elements" allows the "powerful, pure soul" to truly become a power within reach.
Even if there are more than a dozen demons, only two or three gold-level extraordinary beings with sufficient souls can easily kill them without leaving a trace.
Who made your blue stripes short.jpg
If those two brothers at Saltpeter Ranch hadn't had the secret of creation, they would have been killed by the Saint with two swords and one sword at a time... Of course, the Saint was actually at the level of truth.
However, it can also be seen that the Far North Brotherhood definitely does not have multiple gold-level transcendents.
Because there are no wild gold-level extraordinary beings in the entire Principality of Winter - the Hand of Winter is bound to the silver level, and illegal silver-level extraordinary beings who try to continue to advance in the Principality of Winter will be captured by the Hand of Winter. , surveillance, detention, deportation.
The current Howling White Tower has not elected a new tower owner.
In addition to Maria, the daughter of the storm, and Vasika, the "unbalanced beauty" who can resist the golden level under special circumstances, the only remaining golden levels in winter are the old grandmother's Pope, and Mel. The "god on earth" of the Wen family. The latter two are not powers that directly belong to the Winter Family.
This is the weakest period of the Winter Principality - if you don't count the ancestor-inviting ceremony that is unknown to outsiders.
The Far North Brotherhood has not been able to kill them yet, probably because they are noobs.
Even if they have two gold levels, they can come over and fight and re-divide their territory. If there are more than three ~IndoMTL.com~, you can basically rush into Frost Whisper Province to put Annan and Ivan under house arrest, "holding the emperor hostage to order the princes".
So, they have definitely not completed the "full gold" experiment now.
It is better to say that it was the person who proposed this experiment who restricted them... Otherwise, they would have already started mass-producing the silver army, having already built the curse cellar.
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
——He remembered another thing.
As the lords of the "northernmost part of the map", the Far North Brotherhood really doesn't have much money.
So, how did they convince the Fallen forces in Saltpeter Ranch and Nata County to be loyal to them? According to the character of these degenerates, they should turn around and sell these partners and come to the Archduke for reward.
Unless they want something else from their hands.
Think about this...
"...Could it be that a shadow ruler has already appeared in the world of the fallen?"
Annan whispered worriedly.
Able to cross national borders and control all fallen people.
The Far North Brotherhood is just a chess piece at their disposal - a chess piece used to produce "full gold".
And their ultimate goal of obtaining [Satisfaction Gold]... is obviously to break free from the road of corruption.
Who might be able to transcend national borders and control the fallen from Noah, the underground, and the dead of winter? Who could it be?
