The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 76: Annan’s 0-level routine


As expected.

Faced with Salvatore’s question, Annan replied without hesitation:

"Naturally keep fighting."

He first came to Rossburg just to kill Viscount Barbour.

He first sent mercenaries to plunder the Frozen Water Port, and then planned to assassinate Annan and Salvatore. Even if Annan reasoned based on common sense, he knew that this grudge could not be changed just by changing the story.

He had no hatred, hatred or anger towards Viscount Barbour.

But if we say it the other way around, when Annan thought about "should I kill Viscount Barbour?", he could clearly feel the joy in his heart.

——Then, I should hate this person.

"Alvin Barber..."

Annan muttered the name in an erratic tone.

There was no special expression on his face. There were no harsh words or nonsense like "You **** me off" or "You actually hurt my people".

His eyes just ignited with very pure joy and joy.

Want to kill. Want to kill very much.

Just imagining the pleasure after killing him, Annan could feel that his face was vaguely red and hot, as if he had drunk too much wine.

"...How about I go with you, Don Juan."

Salvatore frowned and was not too surprised by the answer: "How about you wait for me a little longer? I will disperse all the black fire here and go with you. You can go alone. It is easy to be dangerous.

"Besides, you don't actually need to take risks. You can just endure it. After I return to the Black Tower, I will have a way to solve this trouble for you..."

"Thank you very much...I know you are worried about my safety, but I don't want to tolerate it."

Annan interrupted him: "Just like what you said before - this is what I have to do. It's not that I have a deep hatred for him personally, nor that I want to take back what he stole. The power that originally belonged to me, the lord.

"I just wanted to kill him."

His eyes seemed to be shining with light, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

Annan's words were filled with a hero's upright spirit, and strong positive emotions arose, as if his body was wrapped with holy light.

This even gave Salvatore some illusion:

It seems that Annan is not going to take revenge or kill people, but to give up his life to save the world...

"...But even if there is only one transcendent by your side, Lord Viscount, it will not be easy for you to deal with just that person."

Salvatore advised tactfully: "Give me six hours... I will disperse all the black fire, and then you and I will go find him. He will definitely not run too far."

After all, the guards around him are just ordinary people and have no resistance to the curse. Whether it is being controlled by the mind, being frozen, being blown to pieces, or being directly restrained and trapped, it is all possible.

Salvatore thought with some worry.

The only one Don Juan can rely on is me...

These guards are really too young.

Even if they can come back to life, they will always be afraid of death and pain, right?

Even if they are really not afraid of death or pain, they still look like they are only in their twenties or thirties.

What can these thirty-odd young men accomplish?

Although for a swordsman, a young and healthy body is indeed very important. But this also means being short-sighted and simple-minded. If you haven't met many people, haven't read many books, and haven't experienced any hard battles, you will easily do something reckless. When facing a strong enemy, the mentality is often prone to problems...

These are deadly.

But Annan just shook his head indifferently.

"I believe them, senior."

Annan's words were affirmed without hesitation: "They are all my most loyal and powerful guards. Each of them is an absolute elite."

Even the players can hear it. This is by no means a false flattery, but a genuine trust from the heart.

They were also moved by this for a while.

They suddenly realized that they had gradually fallen in love with this aristocratic young man who was cold-faced and warm-hearted, but refused to admit the kindness in his heart.

He will panic and fear when the "mere guard" is injured, will abandon powerful reinforcements in order to prevent the fire from spreading, and will take risks to fight against powerful wizards who are far more powerful than himself in order to help others.

——He wants to kill Viscount Barbour now, probably to protect his own people.

Unlike Salvatore, players think so.

After all, the rule of the game for nobles is compromise.

Salvatore doesn't understand this, but players from modern society can understand it.

"Don Juan Geraint" jumped out of the rules of the nobility and fought with a weak body against powerful enemies... It should be for the light in his heart.

Only in the name of justice, do righteous things——

This is a fearless mentality that can only appear in the twelfth or thirteen-year-old stage of a teenager who has begun to roughly understand things and knows right and wrong, but is still disobedient to reality and unwilling to understand reality.

The players were a little disappointed.

Because they have passed this age.

Even if their current work is relatively consistent with their wishes, they have begun to succumb to the rules of reality and understand that everything cannot be perfect.

But that's why.

Instead, a determination to "help Don Juan" arose in their hearts!

That is not charity, nor is it so-called loyalty, but it is not benefit either.

But their youth. In other words, the lost youthful feelings——

——Of course.

Annan still knows their mentality very well.

They have such thoughts because they are under the guidance of Annan.

Before they entered the game, they had seen the promotional CGs carefully selected and produced by Annan for them. The self inside is completely a positive image of fighting for the sake of the people and justice, not yielding to coercion and inducement, and drawing a sword against a powerful enemy.

More like a heroic knight than a noble. But this knight instead fell into a situation where he was persecuted by the evil nobles.

They will subconsciously sympathize with Annan. This sympathy will shorten the spiritual distance between them.

After all, Salvatore couldn't even think about the idea of ​​"sympathy". It was impossible for him to sympathize or pity a noble.

But players are different.

They subconsciously believe that their status is higher than "NPC", even though they have now realized that this may be a real world.

But after all, they came in through games, and this arrogance will be rooted in their hearts and difficult to eradicate.

And Annan took advantage of this arrogance. In other words, with the help of this sympathy and scrutiny born from arrogance, they can develop "empathy" with Annan.

The so-called empathy is the ability to understand the emotions and thoughts of others, understand the positions and feelings of others, and think and deal with problems from the perspective of others.

In other words, they unconsciously thought about Annan.

When Annan really leads them to defeat the Viscount, this empathy will be transformed into a beautiful shared secret, and they will have a beautiful memory.

That’s why Annan couldn’t let Salvatore get involved in this matter.

In this way, it can become a date between "Don Juan Geraint" and "Player", rather than a party of three.

This kind of "love marketing" is also one of Annan's skills. People's IQs tend to drop when they are in love, because they subconsciously entrust part of their thinking to another person.

To control other people's decisions is undoubtedly equivalent to controlling their minds.

"I will never let Alvin Barber live to see the sun tomorrow."

Annan turned his head and said to the players in a deep voice: "Everyone, I plan to find trouble with the Viscount. He is undoubtedly an unjust party, and I have no intention or willingness to succumb to him.

“But after all, you have family and friends... My matter may make them offend some other forces. ~IndoMTL.com~ They may be more powerful than me and the Geraint family.

"So you don't have to get involved in this matter. If you want to leave, I will pretend that you have never been to Roseburg today and erase all your records today. Everything here has nothing to do with you - this It's a promise I made."

The implication of Annan’s words is: Anyone who doesn’t participate, I will reset your favorability to zero.

The players also understood this meaning. Each of them had a resolute face and murderous intent in their eyes.

Annan looked at them and nodded with satisfaction.

He made a childish and cold voice: "Those who are willing to go with me, sheath their swords."

The next moment, a series of sheathing sounds were heard in a messy manner.

Although it is not neat, there is no coward.

They didn't even think about it.

There is no doubt that their concern for the safety of their relatives and friends, and their own safety, cannot compete with their loyalty to Annan.

This scene deeply shocked Salvatore.

He was silent for a while, then walked over and took out the hammer from his pocket, carefully handing it to Annan.

Salvatore whispered worriedly: "I'll lend it to you first. Remember to come back alive... and give it back to me."

"That's natural, I will definitely come back."

As Annan spoke, he opened the shoulder bag containing the kitchen knife and put the hammer in with a natural expression.

There was no fear or hesitation on his face:

"Because this is an act of justice - Yin Jue will definitely help me."

That kind of complete confidence is as bright as the sun.

Combined with his appearance.

Enough to impress people.
