Chapter 1117: Chapter 170: Vladimir’s Final Ripple

Former "Solomonik".

Now "Selicia".

The moment they overlapped in his mind.

Annan felt as if a flash of electricity had passed through his brain, just like a Detective getting a burst of inspiration.

Suddenly, the voice of the tragedy writer echoed in his mind.

It was a long time ago, Annan had exchanged forty Holy Light stigmas for this piece of information—the answer worth all information about the "Great Calamity Curio"!

"——You must be curious, why did Solomonik suddenly disappear back then?

"——The answer is simple. Because he made contact with Professor Wolf, who had just been reborn at that time.

"——And Professor Wolf gave him a new name, a new body, a new identity. ’Solomonik’ has completely died.

"Her new name is ’Selicia’."

At that time, Annan’s attention was all on the name "Selicia".

Solomonik of the yesteryears, was that the Ship in Stone captain?

The legendary, beautiful yet dangerous "Poppy in the Deep Rock"?

"Quite the player."

Annan couldn’t help but sigh back then.

But now that he thought about it carefully...

In fact, right from the beginning, the tragedy writer had already given Annan quite complete information. But at that time, due to negligence and lack of information, Annan had missed the most important detail.

By the time Annan received new information, it was hard to remember this piece of information that had "already been utilized."

Just like when you’re searching a room, it’s hard to think about checking a place you’ve already searched... not to mention so much time had already passed in-between.

It’s still Annan suddenly having an inspiration, remembering the content of the "Odes to the Celestial Chariot", and then thinking of the nightmare about "Gemini"...

Annan didn’t expect that the tragedy writer would be so honest—or rather, this was exactly where he found pleasure.

He had given all the information right from the start, but Annan didn’t figure it out. So when Annan realized this, he was bound to feel regret... just like someone telling you from the beginning that the murderer was right beside you, but you only understand at the very end.

That regret is the tragedy writer’s nourishment—no doubt it was intentional. He layered the important information under the surface information, all to see Annan’s expression.

"But he’s going to be disappointed."

Annan said solemnly: "Before things became irreversible... I’ve found all the truth.

"Stop for a moment... Arthur, Ofelia."

"What do you mean... what truth?"

Yufimia asked subconsciously.

And Lucia was taken aback.

The moment Annan brought up the matter.

The centaur girl looked vacant as if she had seen something.

——That was the centaur’s future sight.

Synchronized with her, Annan took a deep breath.

"I think, you guys should know... Selicia’s previous name was ’Solomonik’, right."

The quarrel was interrupted.

Upon hearing this, Ofelia turned back and nodded.

"...Yes. She was once a male... including her previous name, we already know."

"There’s no point in hiding such things."

Arthur added, "We must understand each other well enough to avoid chaos during certain key rituals. For instance, what Selicia is using now is just a very realistic ’doll’."

"If Mr. Radiance’s ritual is used to heal her, it would instead destroy this outer shell. It is the ritual used by the Stone Father for palace and statue repairs that can be well suited to heal Selicia."

"You’re right."

Annan said, glancing at Selicia, "But I think... all you know is ’her name and identity’."

Upon hearing this, Selicia suddenly realized something.

She guessed what Annan was about to say.

She raised her head, looking at Annan with pleading eyes.

She didn’t want this secret to be known by her companions.

But Annan just gave her a reassuring look and said calmly, "What you know is only the part about ’Solomonik’s defection from the Hands of Winter’. Then... what about before that?"

He said this while looking around at everyone.

From their expressions, Annan had a rough idea.

— Probably only the centaur girl Lucia knew everything, but she had kept the secret well without telling anyone.

Annan continued, "As far as I know... the former ’Solomonik’ was a natural ’killer’.

"It’s not so much that he was good at the work of the Hands of Winter or at swordplay... Rather, what he was adept at was ’skills for killing’.

"He possessed both the skills and the interest to kill, but he lacked the motivation to do so. He was bewildered by the world, uncertain about what he should do or where he should go... Hence, his teacher, Vladimir, took him to join the Hands of Winter.

"At that time, Solomonik was not good at anything. He was always indecisive and needed others to make decisions for him. When faced with problems, he would become flustered and hope for someone else’s help.

"He always believed he was ordinary in appearance, and did not dare to look people in the eye. Therefore, he always kept his head down, which made his back hunch over; he was willing to sacrifice his life for any mission—not because he had much loyalty to the Duchy of Winter, but because he didn’t think his life had any value.

"— Yes, Solomonik believed that his life was void and meaningless, and that it wouldn’t matter if he died."

Annan said this, looking meaningfully at the rest of the Silver Brigade, "Can you imagine? This is the ’Selicia’ you know."

"How can that be possible."

Yufimia frowned tightly, "The ’Selicia’ we knew from the beginning wasn’t like that..."

"I can testify."

Arthur replied, "I should have been the first one to know Selicia. Back then, she was already full of confidence—she didn’t have these personality flaws, but was a radiant person."

"That’s the problem. You can’t imagine it, so you can’t find ’the former Selicia’; we can’t imagine it either, so we can’t find ’the current Solomonik’."

Annan replied, "If it was just ’changing to a beautiful body’, would the personality change so drastically in an instant?"

Yufimia’s pupils shrank slightly.

"Could it be..."

She suddenly guessed the truth, "’Selicia’ and ’Solomonik’ are really two different people?"

Upon hearing this, even Selicia herself was taken aback.

Annan narrowed his eyes.

His gaze deepened.

The last time he spoke with the Winter Reverser Vladimir, he had said something Annan couldn’t understand.

"— The original Solomonik would die underground... No matter when, Selicia was just his mask, and he was always Solomonik. But after getting involved with you, he completely became Selicia."

"— Solomonik would not attach so many elements to ’death’, he wouldn’t try to find value in ’death’. When I realized he had become Selicia, I gave up on killing her and left..."

"— You have changed his destiny. He can no longer die as Solomonik... Or rather, the Solomonik of the past has been killed by you."

At the time, Annan had thought this was just an exaggerated and somewhat poetic "description".

But what if, on the contrary...

What Vladimir said at the time was all true?
