Chapter 37 "The School of the Prophet Really Doesn't Have Many Good Things"

But when Dmitry and Annan were just starting to implement the next steps...

Ivan Winter found the two brothers who were secretly doing things.

——So Dmitri was beaten twice by Archduke Ivan.

One was because, as the eldest son, he dared not to ask his father's opinion on such a big thing; the second was because he didn't set an example as an elder brother and stopped his younger brother Annan from making a fool of himself—then this is the first time. The second beating will be for Annan.

While Dmitry didn't care about his fertility, he didn't even think about having children.

But he didn't care about it himself. The fact that he was the first in line and was infertile would make the duchy unstable.

At that time, Maria had already decided to take the road of the Storm Lady.

The only one who can inherit the position of Grand Duke is the young Annan.

This decision made Maria panic again. Unlike her elder brother Dmitry, Maria did not particularly trust the young Annan, but was very worried and caring for him.

The second year after Annan was born, their mother died in childbirth - they were supposed to be six brothers, the sixth died before they were born, and the remaining two were killed by the power of Winter's Heart before the age of three. To die, I haven't had time to get my own name.

Annan is the second to last.

Maria is the third.

She was raised by Dmitry, and the young Annan was raised by her own hands.

More like a mother than a sister.

Even though she knew that Annan was talented, she didn't trust the child who grew up with her own hands. Instead, she was infinitely worried. Compared with Annan and her father Ivan, she believes that brother Dmitry can make a good grand duke.

But because of the rotten—

Ivan's lifespan has not been successfully extended, and he may really die at any time.

——Then the three brothers will depend on each other for life.

Compared with ordinary people, who just want to "have a good life", there is a country behind the three of them who need to be taken care of. Not long after the war,

With foreign enemies on the side, the nobles at home don't know if they can hold back, and they have to take care of and protect the common people...

Dmitri's brother, whom Maria trusted the most, also lost his right to inherit.

The future Duchy of Winter will fall into the hands of the little Annan.

How could he bear it?

Maria, who was originally very calm and planned to eat and wait for her death, will inherit the Storm Maiden when she is forty or fifty years old, and she made up her mind to quickly become a powerful superhuman.

This is also the reason why she will participate in the succession ceremony of master Michelangelo.

She is an edict wizard from the Tower of Storms, the future daughter of the storm.

But the Lady of the Storm is mortal...

Maria is not afraid of death, but she is worried about Annan.

Can Annan really take care of himself without her?

She also felt that there must be a conspiracy when Michelangelo suddenly summoned eight young wizards. Eighty percent of the time she was doing a ritual... But then she didn't care about that much anymore.

Just like when Dmitry and Annan were doing things privately, they didn't tell her and her father.

Maybe it's revenge, or it's a strange comparison - she didn't tell Ivan and Dmitry about her trip to the White Tower of Howling.

Maria has always been the kind of upright person who says what she thinks and does what she thinks.

Resolute and unyielding, shoulder responsibility, and move forward silently.

Compared with girls of the same age, or the heirs of emperors and princes who grew up in conspiracies, they are more like those winter men who have family business in ordinary people.

It is precisely because of Maria's calmness and integrity...

She almost died in the forbidden ritual of the Twin Towers [Death and Life Stacking].

At that time, Maria did not understand how this ceremony finally took effect. It was only when they were fighting each other that there were only four left, and heard a message from Michelangelo... Tell them that this is the first half of a ceremony.

It wasn't until not long ago that they reacted... This is a sublimation ceremony.

And Michelangelo, the host of the taboo ceremony, has successfully sublimated and achieved the true god not long ago.

Also known as "Man in the Mirror".

——So when Maria came back, Dmitri was beaten again.

This is the unbearable weight of the eldest son...

In any case, it was him who was beaten.

But thanks to the beating, Dmitri remembers it very well. According to Maria, only four people survived that ceremony.

Except for Maria, the remaining three are very dangerous people... Of course, the dead ones are even more dangerous.

Now the Pope of the Man in the Mirror, Benjamin Foster;

The dark wizard from the Black Tower of Zedi, David Gerald;

...and the pupil of the Man in the Mirror, Ghirlandaio Buonaro of the School of the Prophets.

And this name...

...Ghirlandaio David Buonaro.

It was precisely in this ceremony that the names of the two survivors were mixed up.

Although I don't know why I put a "David" in my name.

But from this appearance, it is undoubtedly the "Ghirlandaio" described by Maria.

That innocuous and gentle prophet wizard... kept the peace until the end, and Mary didn't know what he did or what he did. Presumably, he has already used prophetic spells to rewrite all of them that may affect his future.

The purpose of the prophetic school has never been just "seeing the future".

What they are practicing is the skill of "building on the past and rewriting the future".

Dmitri had met a prophet shaman from the Twin Towers.

When Dmitry asked him, "Your prophetic school can directly get the results after you finish your studies through spells... So what exactly do they need to learn?" A question, or an example:

"—If 'yesterday' reaches 'tomorrow', it will become two days ago. So is 'the day after tomorrow' 'today' or 'yesterday'?"

Dmitry was dumbfounded.

Although he hadn't figured it out in the end, he was convinced - the wizards of the Prophet School had their brains so good.

The most silent, low-key, and unobtrusive prophet wizard is definitely the "prophet" who has moved the most hands and feet and has the highest level.

The most useful brains are revolving every day, each one is clever and scary, with a vision of the future, a prophet wizard who can modify the future from the past... But from the outside, it looks so ordinary that people will forget it if they are not careful.

If you saw this, would you believe it?

Anyway, Dmitry didn't believe it.

His impression at the time was, "There are really not many good things in the prophetic school."

The more low-key he looks, the more likely he is calculating everyone he can.

Dmitry glanced at the gentle and cheerful middle-aged man in front of him.

as predicted.

From his hand, he saw a silver ring.

... Have you been tricked by these god-given prophets again?

Such thoughts popped into Dmitry's mind.
