The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 513
Annan's expression was a little complicated.

Hearing Dmitri's meaning, it seems that Zhoumu also knows that he is a time traveler.

...In novels, things like this are usually hidden until the finale, right?
Righteous gods like Sir Silver, Old Grandmother and Jawon know this and that's all.How come even my brothers and sisters know that I am a time traveler...

"Don't think too much, Annan."

Dmitry glanced at Annan and knew what he was thinking.

Even if he loses his memory, Annan is still Annan after all.

The man with long black hair and cold demeanor said, "The first person we met was you.

"The biggest difference between Winter and other countries is that we don't name our babies. We don't get the name of our babies until they grow up to be able to eat and dress themselves, know how to take care of themselves, and won't starve to death at home alone. own name.

"People who can't take care of themselves are not worthy of having a name, let alone inheriting a surname... At best, they are just pets."

In Winter, the boundary between "human" and "beast" is not that far away.

Those who cannot be called adults can only be treated as "cubs".

The same reason.

If someone commits a crime that a human being should not do, or does something that a human being should not do, then he will be deprived of his human name.

Just like Gryanznuha Rinwinter was deprived of the surname "Rinwinter".

——In the Dukedom of Winter, this is a very serious "family law" punishment.

If someone is deprived of his surname by his family, it is legally severed from all his kinship.This is not a matter of sneakily depriving the surname, but it must be reported to the local Winter Church, and it will be reported uniformly throughout the country every year.

For example, the right to kinship bail, or home surveillance, and the right to inherit or be inherited, are all canceled and irrecoverable.It's like labeling the other party's identity as an orphan who "has no father, no mother, no relatives".

The "outcasts" who will be expelled from the family are usually regarded by other Rindong people as people who "disrespect tradition", "have made major mistakes", and "deviant".

And if the name is deprived, it is tantamount to directly depriving all rights as a human being.

If you kill "the nameless person", you won't even be convicted of homicide.It is "crime of destroying other people's property" or "crime of destroying public property".

Generally, serious criminals who have been imprisoned for more than 20 years but not sentenced to death—or have enough value, will be sentenced to "delisting punishment" by the Duchy of Winter.

Not just delisting in the legal sense.

Instead, use idol magic to erase the name in this world directly in a mysterious sense.The contract signed with him was also voided, and the rituals related to his name were also erased, and even others could no longer recall his name.

In other words, people who have been forgotten by the world.

In the Duchy of Winter, where "you are born after you get a name", the name is very important, one of the "components of human beings".

"And your name 'Annan' was given by you yourself."

While talking, Dmitry subconsciously put his hand into his bosom and touched the cigar box.

But soon his right hand froze, as if thinking of something, he moved his hand out of his arms uncomfortably.

As if covering up something, he immediately raised his voice slightly: "The one we know is you from the very beginning.

"You have lost many mysterious memories. You may forget... In this world, visitors from other worlds are not particularly rare. The Duchy of Winter is even more so—"

In the vicinity of the Tower of Storms, there are occasional surviving ethereal creatures seeping from near the hole.

After the imaginary creatures enter the fog world, which is the world where the fog continent is located, they cannot directly obtain a material body.Because the virtual world is a world where [phenomenon] is higher than [existence], it is called "virtual world".

The core power system of the Fog Continent is curses and oaths.

The "element" and the original form of the element, the "philosopher's stone", are extraordinary powers belonging to the imaginary world.

——Annan already knew that Father Sui was the one who stole the fire.

The sage's stone in the imaginary world is equivalent to the spell power in the fog world.It is the root power of the world... It is only after Father Sui stole the Philosopher's Stone from the virtual world that this world has the "power of elements".

"And the 'element', the form of existence determined by the will, the power born from the soul and mind... is the characteristic of the imaginary world."

Dmitry explained: "In other words, after entering this world, imaginary creatures must parasitize in the human body to survive. At least they must be creatures with will and thought.

"And the 'mind body' can actually be understood as the consciousness born in the dream world. The dream world is the link between many worlds—the volume of the dream world is the largest in the known world. It has no concept of time, There are other worlds at the end.

"In principle, it's not just nightmares with the theme of 'our world's history'. It's just that no one has 'memories of other worlds'.

"I've heard that there is a special ancient profession called Dream World Walker, who can enter the dreams of other worlds... It's just that this 'secret' was later buried by the mysterious lady.

"It is not completely impossible for souls to fall into this world from the other side of the dream world. A powerful dream walker can forcibly capture the souls of other worlds into this world; and if it is an unknown creature native to the dream world, it is said It allows the soul to enter other worlds without losing its memory. As you said before, you should be the second type.

"As far as I know, among the gods, the Red Knight and the Bell Ringer were born into this world from different worlds through the dream world. Miss Lucky passed through the dream world in the flesh and came to us from an unknown world. world... This is no secret in Theocracy.

"A soul that can cross the dream world means that it is born with the ability to remain fully awake in nightmares. This guarantees that every soul that comes from the other side of the dream world must be able to become a superhuman being.

"...Actually, this is the second time I've discussed this topic with you."

I also laughed at the Four Dark Carved Adventures in Wonderland before.

So the other story is Annan's Adventures in Wonderland?

A world adjacent to the dream world?
Annan was lost in thought.

In this way, his original world should also be adjacent to the dream world.

If the dream walker can enter the dreams of other worlds... Maybe there is also a recognition of the dream world on the other side of the earth.

It's just that it's definitely not called "Dream World" over there.Just like "Fog Realm" doesn't care whether it is called "Fog Realm".

...Could it be a dreamland?

Farewell.If that's the case, could it be that my boss is...

Annan suddenly felt complicated.

He shook his head, dispelling the wild thoughts in his heart.

He suddenly noticed another detail:
"Wait, you said... a born superhuman?"

——If this is the case, why would I choose the path of ritual?
