Chapter 800: Chapter 339 Heading to Noah_1

Whether it was Dmitry, Bella, Dorin, Solomonik, or the still ignorant Russell...

All those involved in the incident had their lives turn into a complete mess. Their experiences could undoubtedly be called "tragedies."

In these, there was inevitably the guidance of a playwright of tragedy.

Because it was "inevitable fate."

Given their personalities, experiences, and origins... even if repeated many times over, the same results would occur.

But now, because of Annan’s strong intervention, existing tragedies didn’t turn into greater tragedies; and those that were yet to occur were completely severed.

So, Annan once again realized the weight of that phrase.

— Fate is but the track of the heavens’ chariot.

It was precisely Annan’s existence that completely disrupted the playwright of tragedy and the Wolf Professor’s manipulation of "fate."

Dorin was almost sent by the Wolf Professor after Bella was killed. Whether Annan killed her, had an affair with her, or let her successfully betray him, he would likely fall into a trap.

Because in doing so, Dorin would develop similarities with Bella.

At the time, Annan was completely unaware of the conspiracy, he didn’t even know that Bella had died. But acting on instinct alone, Annan completely avoided the trap.

He didn’t know what kind of trap the Wolf Professor had set on Dorin... but Annan removed the trap from its roots.

Because of Annan, Solomonik too escaped his tragic destiny; Russell just happened to end his wandering in the North because of Annan’s actions at the time, and didn’t get caught by the border nobility.

After these people came into contact with Annan, the continuous tragedies in their lives came to a complete halt.

Solomonik returned to the hands of Winter, and might even become one of the Ten Fingers in the days to come; Dmitry finally learned the truth of the past... Although he faced some setbacks, he eventually settled his resentment and understood who the real enemy was; Dorin, whose parents were conned by the Wolf Professor and went through a long wander, has finally found a stable life...

And then, there’s Russell.

Even though Dmitry lost his fertility, he had fortunately left behind a last progeny; in the original script of the Wolf Professor, Russell might have become the finale of Dmitry’s tragedy, the last blow to bring him down.

However, now, the unknown tragedy that hadn’t unfolded was unwittingly shattered by Annan.

Nothing happened—Russell was safely brought to Dmitry, and father and daughter finally recognized each other.

...If one had to speak of Dmitry’s only regret,

it would probably be that the name "Russell" was not chosen by Dmitry himself.

After all, the pet name he brought for Russell was a bit too bizarre—for a name like "Milk Crust" sounds delicious but is hardly suitable for a real name. Especially since her surname would be "Winter."

Milk Crust Winter... that’s rather odd indeed.

But for Dmitry, having Annan and Maria out on a travel assignment meant he wouldn’t get too bored staying in the Grand Duke’s mansion.

Despite feeling somewhat nervous when interacting with his daughter, whom he had once pursued, and this being his first time caring for a child, Annan left Zoya to help him look after the kid instead of taking her along.

Annan, Maria, the Gate Opener Jacob, Selicia, Four of a Kind, as well as "Victor" from the Ten Fingers, and twelve senior hands of Winter taught by Victor—this was the personnel arrangement for Annan’s diplomatic mission to Noah.

As for the players, they didn’t need to buy subway tickets. And players like Longjing Tea, from Heath Tower of Black, and Lin Yiyi, from Azure Diamond Tower, their identities were not suitable as "guards for Grand Duke Annan."

This could potentially destroy their original identities.

Even though there weren’t many players left who saw this world as a "game," Annan’s pride as a first-rate strategist still made him reluctant to impact the players’ "game experience."

Players wishing to "meet up" had already been teleported to the Royal Capital of Noah—Annan had specially opened up two free teleportation rights in the name of launching the next phase of the main quest... to be used for "going to Noah" and "leaving Noah."

You may come if you wish, or choose not to. But if you do decide to come, your travel expenses will be fully covered.

This was Annan’s attitude.

Although there were only eighteen people... with only one Gold Transcendent publicly known, which was Maria Rime, the others were hardly normal Silvers. The slightly weaker Four Dark Tiles could still be considered "one-time emergency expendables" equivalent to destruction Wizards.

Of course, he wasn’t actually a real Wizard of destruction. But that didn’t really matter, because the most intimidating moment for a destruction Wizard wasn’t after they exploded; it was when they hadn’t blown up yet.

One couldn’t tell just by looking, and even a spell detection would only reveal the traces left on him after learning destruction spells.

Even Jacob, who wasn’t even a Transcendent... had reached, and even surpassed the domain of the past Annan in the rituals of escaping and breaking in. As a master locksmith under the guise of "barrier", he might just be the most irreplaceable person in Annan’s team.

Victor Frostword, though merely a Silver, as an elf who had survived to this day, could at least put up a defense against weaker Gold Transcendents.

But Annan didn’t bring him along for self-preservation.

Even if a battle were to occur in Noah, a Silver rank alone couldn’t turn the tide. The curse power concentrated in his body could indeed temporarily match Elemental Power but couldn’t surpass it.

Moreover, Noah is not Winter. Winter is where the old grandmother is hibernating, while over at Noah, the Silver Baron is active.

If Annan really encountered an insurmountable problem, Victor wouldn’t be the one to resolve it—it would be more direct to call the Silver Baron.

If lucky, the Silver Baron might even bring the Faceless Poet and Paper Princess along with his subordinate gods...

That would be much safer than any Gold rank enforcer.

Annan would take Victor with him.

Mainly because he wanted to visit Specimen Vault III-251-11.

That was the Specimen Vault where "Miss Bofis" was located.

In theory, the orphan Annan had picked up had access to this Exhibit Vault. After he had marked Annan’s shoulder with something called "The Unborn Endymion", Annan should have been able to open it as well.

But opening it didn’t mean it could be fully utilized.

Victor, having lived from that era until now, should know many of its secrets.

Miss Bofis’s mother was once the holder of the "Heart of Justice".

The "Heart of Justice" was not only related to the sacred bones Annan wanted to obtain... it might also have something to do with the Book of Truth called "Storm and Heart’s Canticle" passed down to Maria.

Conveniently, Maria also rarely traveled abroad with Annan, heading to Noah this time.

Nicholas II, whom Annan had been searching for, should also be in Noah; and the clues Jiu’er and the others found at the Saltpeter Ranch all pointed toward Noah’s Blood Butterfly Valley and Nata County.

Plus, Kafney’s ascension ceremony; her uncle who worshipped the corrupt husband, as well as the origins of the sugar and the information about the Great Calamity Curio he used... perhaps they could even witness Benjamin’s long-prepared ritual to resurrect his former lover. They needed to seek the help of their senior to conquer the "Nightmare: Speak Not the Truth", and eat the nightmare purified by Tower Master Hugo to level up.

After his ascension, the opportunities for Annan to leave Winter would obviously become fewer. Perhaps he could visit countries he had never been to before, under the pretense of "state visits" for a while... but if he went to Noah every year, not just Winters, even the people of Noah would sense something amiss.

If possible,

Annan hoped that on this journey—he could settle all these troublesome matters once and for all.

With such thoughts, Annan received a respectfully and reasonably worded response from the Noah authorities.

The letter was penned by the Eldest Princess; they were fully prepared to welcome them.

— So, it was time for Annan and his companions to set out.
