Chapter 612: Chapter 153: Gentle Precautions Against Potential Problems_1

After the Playwright hung up the video call to himself, Annan didn’t stay in the coal-ash wasteland for long.

After handing over the three new players to Longjing Tea, Annan returned to the Sporogenesis Mill with Naifertali on the subway.

Husky and Thirteen Fragrances weren’t Idol School, but their experience was already full. They just needed to fill up the spell slots for the Apprentice phase, and they could advance... It could be said that it was optional to seek the Bone Healer.

If not, making a trip to Black Tower was also possible. Although the Heath Tower of Black had been burned, the knowledge stored in the Wizard’s Tower itself was not lost, only the medium of the knowledge was lost.

They could go to the Bone Healer and learn some rare spells under his recommendation; or they could go to the Heath Tower of Black, help transcribe spell books to grind experience, and incidentally learn some spells. The choice was quite flexible.

But things differed for A’Dian.

A’Dian’s talent was in the Idol School. It was the Righteous Path for her to seek the Bone Healer, yet that choice was somewhat dangerous.

Although the Bone Healer had already drawn a clear line with Professor Wolf, after all, they were once the same person. Whether or not to learn spells from him was still up to A’Dian herself.

Whatever choice she made, that was her "destiny." It was better for an Idol Wizard to comply with her own destiny.

Annan decided not to interfere anymore.

And when Annan left, he also took the ritualist, Delicacy Goose, with him.

Naifertali’s trust in the Bone Healer had indeed taken a hit during this incident.

But she still owed Annan a favor.

It would be different if it were an ageless deity like Mirror.

Naifertali was only human, after all. Annan didn’t want to hold onto her favor too long... It was better to clear it up sooner.

Humans could really turn gratitude into enmity.

Although Naifertali was not a Transcendent, she could indeed help Annan.

Because she was a rather learned ritualist.

Annan planned to have her teach Delicacy Goose.

Xiang Tiange’s knowledge of ritualists was mostly learned from the Faceless Poet, who was disguised as an old man, during the time he was imprisoned by Philip. There, he learned about a dozen common rituals.

Even though he had recorded all those rituals through screenshots and recording functions, he still lacked fundamental knowledge.

He later bought some arcane books from the Royal Capital of Noah and learned a few more under "Daddy’s" guidance - hard-pressed as it may have been.

He could now use over twenty common rituals, and his foundation was somewhat supplemented... at least he wasn’t utterly ignorant of the principles of these rituals anymore. But to adjust rituals according to specific situations or to create rituals from scratch was still a far cry.

But Naifertali was different.

She claimed to Annan that she possessed seventy percent of her teacher’s skill level - Naifertali didn’t seem like someone who bragged about herself and was even quite cautious. Therefore, based on her character, she probably had mastered over eighty percent of the Bone Healer’s ritualist knowledge, at least.

Considering the nested ritual in the Gemini Nightmare created by the Bone Healer.

Naifertali’s ritualist knowledge was probably much stronger than "Daddy’s."

After all, the ritualist knowledge that Daddy had was just what an ordinary agent of Winter’s Hand could access.

Although deeper and more secretive than the common ritualist tradition, in the end, it still leaned towards practical, technical style. Nearly all the rituals he had mastered were small, quick rituals.

Why not use this favor to have Naifertali teach Delicacy Goose some large-scale rituals? This process also incidentally involved purchasing some arcane knowledge for Delicacy Goose, along with some materials for practice — after all, one needs to read books and have lab classes when learning ritualist knowledge, right?

During this process, Delicacy Goose could directly record everything on screen.

This was not only equivalent to arming the players but also allowed Annan to learn stealthily.

To prevent Delicacy Goose from falling behind in levels due to being delayed too much, Annan also intended to grant Delicacy Goose reputation with the "Eyes of Secrecy" and some experience during this process.

After all, not many people were smart enough and could peacefully study.

Among the first two batches of players, only Delicacy Goose and Longjing Tea had such ability and dedication.

Annan planned to have Longjing Tea guide the players who chose the Wizard profession - among the current players of the third batch who logged in, there were quite a few who chose the Wizard profession. They needed a good, acceptable, and sufficiently skilled mentor.

Longjing Tea could take on this responsibility.

However, before Delicacy Goose started the formal "study abroad" life.

Annan still needed Naifertali to do him another small favor...

"——That should be everything."

The girl with fiery red hair and blazing eyes exhaled and stood by her desk, patting the newspaper and books on it, "All the intelligence about the ’Captain of the Ship in Stone’ should be here."

Annan sat in Naifertali’s chair, intently flipping through the materials.

And Niusel, wearing a leather jacket, brought a glass of iced fruit juice for each of them.

Then he casually stroked Annan’s soft and cold white hair.

Annan didn’t pay him any mind and just continued to look at the materials.

"I’m off to work, Neve."

He said to Neve casually.

Then he affectionately moved his head closer to Annan’s, resting his chin on Annan’s shoulder, "Is there anything you want me to bring... Your Highness?"

"Call me ’Your Grace’ now."

Annan slightly pushed his head away with some distaste, "You smell like smoke, don’t come so close... and it’s prickly."

"But I clearly changed my clothes, didn’t I?"

"Forget it, all your clothes smell like smoke."

Annan replied coldly.

He had already returned to his original body.

After all, he had already exchanged three secrets with Naifertali — the fact that he was Annan Winter could no longer be concealed.

Since Naifertali already knew this, there wasn’t much point for Annan to continue hiding it. Moreover, it might even affect the relationship between Niusel and Naifertali slightly.

Considering that Niusel, the human-shaped Golden Retriever, aside from being somewhat overly friendly and cheerful, was a very reliable person in all other respects. He wouldn’t leak a friend’s secret and was quite smart.

So Annan simply told Niusel the secret as well.

Annan believed that once he succeeded as the Archduke Winter... or after he advanced to Gold, the identity of "Giralda" would be seldom used. The impact of this secret being leaked wouldn’t be significant.

As long as the relationship between "Annan Winter" and the "Secret Eye" wasn’t exposed, it wouldn’t be a big problem — the secrets of "Giralda" and the "Secret Eye" hadn’t been revealed either.

Moreover, what Niusel didn’t know was.

This was actually a form of protection for Naifertali and Niusel.

Naifertali had vaguely sensed it, but she and Annan tacitly did not tell Niusel. Otherwise, he would definitely be worried.

After all, Naifertali was a student of the Bone Healer.

Considering the relationship between the Bone Healer and Professor Wolf.

As bait to lure Annan into the fray... now that she had a better understanding of her benefactor, her safety could no longer be guaranteed.

Who knows if the Bone Healer would silence her, or interfere with her fate, putting her in greater danger. He could also completely manipulate Niusel’s destiny, take revenge on her or intimidate her... or possibly sabotage her wishes in this way.

All of this was entirely possible.

So just to be safe, Annan simply made it clear that he was acquainted with these two people.

"Giralda" could shield the connections in fate.

But after revealing his true face to Naifertali and Niusel, the two of them "who knew Annan Winter’s face" formed a fate connection with him.

With his own deterrence and the Tragedy Writer’s focus on him, it should be possible to suppress some of the less favorable intentions of the Bone Healer and Professor Wolf.

The so-called prevention is better than cure —

Annan felt it was very necessary to nip the tragedy in the bud from the start, rather than appearing as a savior after the tragedy occurred.

This was exactly what he wanted to do.
