The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 621 The Fourth Exhausted Collection Hall

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Annan left as scheduled.

Grand Duke Ivan originally wanted to give Annan a hand of winter, but Annan firmly refused.

Annan believed that the existence of the Hand of Winter would cause Vasika Rasputin to worry, and he could not express his true thoughts.

It just so happens that Annan himself looks harmless and cute, with faint dragon-like features as well.Whether Vasika will look down on Annan extremely, or have great respect for Annan, it is possible to happen, and this will expose his own position.

But if the Hand of Winter is added, these two possibilities will disappear.

This actually became a "conversation under the watchful eye of Grand Duke Ivan".On the contrary, it will make the other party conceal something... This is even more detrimental to negotiations.

Annan was not afraid of him talking nonsense.

His left eye can detect betrayal.

And the right lie itself will reveal more information.

Why is he lying?Why here?What does he care about?What is he trying to hide?What does he want me to think?How should I deal with him?
And... which floor is he on?And what floor should I be on?

As long as these things can be understood, the other party's lying behavior will reveal more information.

Although the sole heir of the principality went to the meeting alone, it sounds too dangerous to face a Transcendent and Grand Ritual Master of at least silver rank in the opponent's home field...

However, considering Annan's ability and the loyalty of the Rasputin family to the Lindong family, Ivan finally agreed to Annan's plan.

Annan did not bring the wolf girl Doreen with her.Instead, she was temporarily placed in the Grand Duke's Mansion... Because her appearance was too similar to the betrayer Bella back then, and she was also a werewolf. The other Winter Hands were very dissatisfied with her existence.

But with the loyalty of the Hand of Winter to Lindong and the "silence" principle of the Hand of Winter... No matter how hostile they are to Doreen, they will at least not rush into Doreen's room and chop her up while Annan is away. die.

Then let Doreen huddle in her room to herself.

It would be a good thing for her to be frightened by the Hands of Winter and to impress Doreen with their murderous intent.

Regardless of whether Annan wants to use these hands of winter to intimidate her, or use "tricksters and missionaries" to comfort her, they can achieve quite good results.

"'The Fourth Exhausted Collection'... is here."

Annan murmured.

This is exactly the address on the card.

He had investigated it last night.

This is an art collection invested by the Rasputin family.Divided into inner and outer halls, the inner hall is not open to tourists and can only be entered with a one-time invitation letter or a special ID card.

——The black card with metal sandwich is a special identity card.

Its outer hall is a collection of various works of art; while the inner hall is some rare spell materials and spell objects.

There are even handicrafts made by Yaweng himself, paintings by Zhi Ji, and armor fragments of the heroic cavalry.

Some items are for exhibition only and others are available for rent.Still others are regularly auctioned off.

Today's inner hall will only receive Annan alone.

At the entrance of the inner hall, a tall guard wearing black thick leather armor that almost covered his entire face took Annan's card and inserted it into the jade hammer in his left hand that looked like a long-handled ice cream.Then Annan stretched out his finger and wrote his name on the surface of the jade hammer shaped like a big ice cream.The jade glowed green.

... This ID card detection device with a signature is quite advanced.It's even a touchscreen.

Annan thought.

The reason for not using fingerprints is probably that changing one's fingerprints or palm prints in this world is much easier than changing one's real name.

After the green light came on, the tall guard said in a muffled voice, "Dear guest, you can go in now."

Annan vaguely saw that the other party's wrist was inlaid with a silver bracelet like handcuffs.

...Does the janitor all use fully armed silver-rank transcendents?

This pen is a bit big.

"Ok."

Annan nodded and tightened his cloak.

After all, this is Frostwhisper Province, not Noah or some remote town.

Put a saboteur wizard on the street here, and there must be at least eight nobles or ministers among the people killed.

The people who know Annan here say no more, no less.

Although Annan left from the Grand Duke's Mansion.It's not difficult to really get information about his travels... But at least Annan didn't want to make the process too easy.

Otherwise, even Vasika Rasputin really has no idea about Annan.

There is no guarantee that some local nobles will not suddenly become malicious.

So Annan not only covered his mouth with a scarf, but also put on a thick white cloak.This is the unique look of the "Winter Walker" in the Duchy of Winter... This suit is probably equivalent to the camouflage suit tied with leaves by Noah's hunters.

Winterwalker is a gray profession that gathers supplies in the wild.

The reason why it is called a gray profession is because in the wilderness outside the small enchantment, no matter what happens, the evidence will be buried by heavy snow... And in the winter when supplies are scarce, the best way to collect supplies is naturally It's on other people.

Sinners who were banished outside the small barrier, travelers trying to reach the next city through a blizzard, and other winter walkers... anyone they encountered could be killed.Likewise, anyone who meets them may be killed.

This white body is for camouflage in the snow.

At least don't be attacked by someone... Once injured in the cold winter field, it is basically impossible to escape death.Whether it is shot by an arrow or a bullet, it is easy to cause the wound to heal itself due to lack of sufficient heat, which will lead to worsening infection.

Even bandaging or immobilizing a wound will almost certainly result in a substantial loss of body temperature.

Therefore, in the hands of every winter walker, it is difficult to guarantee that there are few human lives-those of the enemy, the prey, and the companions.Although they are not necessarily extraordinary, they must be ruthless characters.

Therefore, Winterwalker rarely reveals his face.

This is to prevent people from finding out their true identity and taking revenge on their family members... or being poisoned in food or drinking water by someone who has a long-standing hatred for him.

This cannot be formed on hunters in warm regions.

Disguising yourself as a winterwalker is the best way to keep others at a distance.

So although Annan turned and walked towards the inner hall, other tourists were a little curious, but no one dared to follow.

Annan paced into the empty inner hall.

There are many glass cabinets here.

Although the glass technology of this era is more than a little better than that of the earth at the same time... But the technology of bulletproof glass has still not been invented.

Instead of bulletproof glass technology, there are runes and ritual fields carved in the glass.

After all, what's inside are priceless treasures...

Of course... For ordinary people, everything is a dangerous item to avoid.

An icy blue candle with a black flame burning all the time, forming a gray mist in the shape of a cat's head that billows like a dark cloud, a man's right hand crawling around in a cabinet, a human brain full of dense eyes, no hair and Eyelashes, but eyes open to gaze at Annan's stone head with interest, a bird heart made of rubies but still beating...

"How are you feeling?"

An elegant voice sounded.

Annan turned around.

Walking out silently from the darkness...is a "human being".

If it can be called human.

Her pupils are dark golden vertical pupils that are close to orange, giving people a dangerous feeling; she has four ears-two human ones and two cat ones.

The dark brown ponytail on the back of the head is tied up high and divided into two bundles, one bundle hangs loosely on the left chest, and the other tied into a ponytail hangs in front of the right body.

Her left eye is a dark green enchanting eyeshadow, while her right eye is black.Her fingernails are also black and red respectively.

Her legs are still human legs.The right foot wears a boot, the left does not.Her footsteps seemed to be swallowed by darkness, silently.

She was at least a head taller than Annan, looking down at the cloaked walker in white.

"Annan...Your Majesty?"

Catwoman said softly.
