Chapter 110 2 Directions

After Annan sealed his spellcasting ability, the atmosphere did ease.

After the atmosphere calmed down a little, everyone subconsciously agreed with Annan's previous idea: it's better to sit down and talk.

After all, Annan took the initiative to suffer a loss in front of everyone.

While no one is going to benefit, there is always a time when people think they need to feel guilty.

The level of guilt is not deep. If Annan really asks them anything that harms their interests, they will probably reject it immediately.

But Annan just made an offer that's good for everyone at this time...at least it's not bad for everyone.

Then at this time, they will subconsciously obey Annan's harmless command.

This is an opportunity.

If Annan can seize the initiative in the next conversation, Annan's words will still have weight in the next move.

Although "Gerald" has no fighting power, low status, bad background, and looks less attractive. But people will still subconsciously obey his commands.

This is because of the lazy human instinct.

Instincts that cannot be realized without being specifically noted.

Because it takes a lot of energy and risk of isolation in the collective to figure out "whether a new leader is trustworthy or not" and to stand up against authority.

Especially when this leader does not actually have so much power that it can shake their fundamental interests. It's even less worth it.

This model is somewhat similar to the class committee election during student days.

Students can often find that in the election of most class committees, adjustments are allowed in principle. But often everyone will not choose the best answer, but will continue the original choice.

So before encountering huge setbacks and temptations and shaking the authority of the interim captain, people tend to continue to follow the interim captain's command...even if everyone is convinced that this person is not the best choice.

And what Annan has to do is to be this "useless temporary captain",

Let them form mental inertia.

If they are accustomed to obeying Annan's orders, when they hear a harmless order, they will subconsciously think about "do it or not" instead of questioning "can it be done".

Then Annan mixes some private affairs into the decision-making, and they will not be aware of it.

Under the leadership of Uncle Gillandaio, everyone came to a tea room.

Although the disciples have all been dismissed, the tea leaves in the tea room will obviously not be taken away... They haven't fallen to this level.

With the help of the transformation wizard Benjamin, they quickly brewed the black tea, and according to Annan's words, they sat down and decided to talk calmly.

"Ugh..."

Claire drank a sip of warm black tea and breathed a sigh of relief.

She lay lazily on the table, as if melted into a ball.

Maria's emotionless ice-blue pupils still swept quickly in the crowd.

"Speaking of which," she asked suddenly, facing Benjamin, "I remember that you are the famous mentor of the Black Tower of Zedi..."

"You want to question why I was selected, right?"

Benjamin easily saw through Maria's meaning, and directly opened her mouth.

He looked at Gerald with a complicated expression, and was silent for a while, as if organizing language.

On the other hand, the idol school wizard Eugene Melvin spoke for the first time after entering the White Tower:

"Because four of his students died cleanly.

"They were all killed by this... dark wizard David Gerald."

His voice was distant and ethereal, as if with some kind of divinity.

But his words made people look at Annan again.

There are many wizards who know this. But I don't know, or only know about it.

Annan also touched his nose, thinking about what expression he should use at this time...

——So he just lowered his head with a wry smile, and said nothing.

I see.

He muttered in his mind.

Is this what Salvatore was talking about before, why Gerald had to be killed?

According to the time, Salvatore should have entered the Zedi Black Tower at this time, but he has not yet become a disciple of Benjamin. And it is precisely because Benjamin's disciple was killed by Gerald that the dark wizard Gerald was removed from the Black Tower and wanted...

But looking at Benjamin like this, it seems that there are other stories here.

Seeing the strange looks of the two of them, the other wizards also showed some expressions of interest on their faces.

- I want to hear the story.

——But it would be too rude to say it directly.

"Speaking of which," Claire looked up from the table and looked at the thin old man with sunken cheeks, deep eye sockets, and a lack of energy, "If Her Royal Highness Maria is a wizard of the Edict School... not talking..."

"His name is Merlin Manning."

Maria glanced at him and said softly, "It used to be... the 'Hand of Winter' of our country."

...Hand of Winter!

Hearing this name, everyone's eyes twitched.

The legendary incapacitated wizard who completely froze his inner feelings, an emotionless watcher... The secret intelligence department of the Principality of Winter - or, in other words, the elite thugs of the spy agency.

Hearing Maria introducing himself, the old man raised his head, stood up slowly, and bowed awkwardly to everyone.

He pointed to his mouth and shook his hand.

Maria added: "Of course...he retired five years ago because of a leg injury. He doesn't have a tongue, so he can't speak."

Without a tongue, it means that it is not easy to leak secrets.

After all, because of the old hand of winter, I know too many secrets.

Even if the new generation of Winter's Hand can prevent the back and forth of documents and envelopes, oral information transmission cannot be prevented.

Intelligence can be encrypted, cannot be written down, and can only be communicated verbally a limited number of times. But there are soul reincarnation wizards in this world... In the case of being able to directly control the mind at close range, cutting off the tongue is a simple, convenient and low-cost way of keeping secrets.

Of course, they can also not cut their tongues, but then they can only live in designated areas.

Self-consciously cutting off the tongue is also to reduce the work pressure of the younger generation. Let fewer people watch over you, and your retirement life can be lighter.

...but even the retired Hand of Winter, no one dared to underestimate him.

This is a wizard who can hunt wizards.

Many spies are reincarnation wizards.

It's not easy to defeat a Soul Reaper in a one-on-one battle. Although there is also the premise that they are extremely resistant to mind control... Winter's Hand, which completely freezes the mind, can almost be said to be killed by soul reincarnation wizards.

But being able to work until retirement without any obvious disability is enough to demonstrate the terrifying fighting ability of this dumb old man named Merlin.

"Now that everyone knows each other."

Eugene Melvin, a white-haired boy with a calm and divine voice, said, "I just suddenly had an idea that I want to share with you.

"I think everyone may not have noticed it before. A detail in the master's suicide note...that is, 'the murderer can't kill.'

"—Have you ever thought that the place of death of Master Michelangelo might not be inside the White Tower? If this is the case, then the murderer should be able to kill, because he did not trigger the curse.

"But if Master Michelangelo died in the tower. Then there are only two possibilities... The first is that the murderer has taken away the master's curse, then he should have advanced gold; the second Yes……"

When he said this, he paused slightly.

Everyone already understood what he meant.

In the silence, Annan was the first to speak.

He stared directly at the white-haired and white-eyed boy with a strange divine spirit: "You mean...

"All of us, now in the nightmare of Master Michelangelo?"

Annan said this.

The eyes of everyone changed immediately.

"...It's entirely possible."

Miss Claire said slowly.

The red-haired boy Jin also nodded silently.

Maria's brows were still furrowed, her arms folded in thought.

Gillandaio scratched his hair in confusion.

Benjamin looked sad and sighed deeply.

The mute old man Merlin suddenly raised his head, his eyes first aimed at Annan, and then at Eugene Melvin.

Melvin's words gave everyone two directions for thinking.

well known-

The dead superhero will turn into a nightmare if no one collects the body.

Well, if master Michelangelo has become a nightmare.

Now, how can they be sure that they are not in a nightmare?

If Master Michelangelo hadn't been a nightmare in the tower...

Then it shows that the method of murder to verify innocence is problematic.

Because Master Michelangelo died outside the tower.

So the murderer was not entangled with a curse.

And if they are indeed in a nightmare...

Then, killing and dying in a nightmare...isn't a problem, right?

Annan frowned slightly.

These two thinking directions lead to the same result:

They have no surefire way to win.

One has to think about who might be the murderer...

- and then killed him.
