Chapter 634: How Could The Assassin Fail?
When Annan was thinking about Salvatore, Salvatore seed to have a tacit understanding and contacted Annan.
“Annan? Can you hear ?” In the standing mirror in Annan’s bathroom, Salvatore’s face erged.
Salvatore seed a little nervous.
He moved a small stool over and sat in front of the mirror in formal attire. He leaned forward slightly with his hands on his knee.
He glanced at the Winter’s Hand behind Annan with only half of his body exposed and looked embarrassed, “Oh, you have soone with you.”
“That’s just an elder taking care of my daily life.” Annan’s clothes were slightly damp, and his hair was wet. He was wearing a thick, furry coat on his upper body.
He gave a gentle and harmless smile. “My family lacks a sense of security. They always think that I might be abducted at any mont… So when I’m at ho, at least one person usually keeps an eye on .”
“That must be uncomfortable.”
“It’s also a kind thought.” Annan replied.
He tilted his head, “Is there anything you can do to find suddenly? Or… to experint with this new ritual?”
“Oh yes, Annan!” Hearing Annan’s words, Salvatore reacted, “This is my newly developed ritual. What do you think?”
“Is it in the mirror realm?”
“You’re right!” Salvatore’s expression showed signs of exhaustion, but his tone was rather excited. “I’ve been thinking since Teacher is now the Pope of the Mirror Realm, will I have the chance to et the Man in the Mirror in person?”
“So, what happened?”
“It’s a favorable outco!”
Senior Salvatore happily shared what he saw, “Before the Man in the Mirror held the ascendancy ritual, he practiced Idol Magic! His ability to give life to golems and his superb technology of manipulating ti impressed . I admire him a lot… but since I don’t have the affinity of the Idol Magic, I can only admire his achievent from a distance.”
“I was blessed with the signature token from the Man in the Mirror. It can be used as an unlimited number of real nas, and it also has a considerable degree of power. With this token, it provides a steady stream of ‘infinite overlapping echoes and influence’. I can experint with a new ritual in the mirror realm!”
So, you made a video call to in the end.
Annan had a weird expression.
However, it’s quite convenient…
“What’s the na of this ritual? How does it cost?”
“I call it [Mirror Reflecting Friendship].”
“It’s a straightforward na.”
“As for utilizing a cheaper and stable curse vessel in the future, I will find another way to optimize it.”
Speaking of this, Salvatore showed a bright smile, “After all, I sleep less than ordinary people… You know it too.”
“Well, I’m your secret keeper, after all.” Annan nodded.
After Clarence died, Salvatore’s secret keeper was transferred to Annan.
Because of the curse [Never-Sleeping Reflection], Salvatore was forced to stay up late daily. He could only fall asleep at 3 a.m. and wake up at 9.00 a.m.
And the second curse he got when he advanced to Silver Rank limited him to sleep no more than six hours a day — for every hour he slept beyond that, his outward appearance aged by one year, but his lifespan did not increase.
Luckily, there was a way around it.
After all, in terms of judgnt, being in a coma did not count as sleeping.
Salvatore’s mood cald down instead — as long as he stayed up until he passed out, he could catch up on sleep naturally.
Once accepted such a setting, it beca a reasonable excuse for staying up late and working overti.
“But did you specifically contact just to test the effectiveness of the ritual?” Annan asked.
“I’ve tried it twice in a ‘long-distance’ setting and tested the possibility to ‘change the na’ —this ti is mainly to test if the ritual can cross the barrier and enable communication across different countries. The results are promising.”
Salvatore was in a good mood, “The other thing is to tell you about the news from the Noah Kingdom. You left without traces, so I can’t contact you.”
As he spoke, he began to complain.
“Okay, okay,” Annan reassured him, “What news? About Kafni?”
“There is a Fallen nad Blood Fiend in the capital. Do you know that? He has attained a deep level of demonization, and his [appendage] has almost ford. Its power is equivalent to a Gold Rank without awakened elents.”
While recalling, Salvatore said slowly, “But, the fiend was killed not long ago.”
“Are you talking about the [Ritualist Killer]? Wasn’t he killed long ago?”
“At first, Philip thought he had killed Blood Fiend. He didn’t expect that Blood Fiend only had one head left, but he still didn’t die.”
Salvatore explained, “Then, he was attacked by the Blood Fiend in his room. He was in a sorry state, and the Blood Fiend killed his lover. But he was lucky to be safe in the end.”
“So Philip survive it, huh?”
Annan was surprised, “How did he do it?”
He wasn’t surprised that Blood Fiend wasn’t dead.
Because it was Delicious Wind Goose who attacked Blood Fiend at that ti — he deliberately didn’t kill Blood Fiend.
This was originally a collaboration between them. It was just that very few people knew about it.
Annan wondered why Blood Fiend didn’t kill the unsuspecting Philip.
Philip was not a Gold Rank Transcender nor a Fallen.
Philip was rely a veteran ritualist.
How could he fail to assassinate the weak Philip?
Are you not ashad?
Then, Salvatore vaguely figured out sothing from Annan’s replies.
“So, is the Blood Fiend your ally?”
Salvatore was in doubt. He leaned forward as if he was about to fall.
“Be careful not to fall over.” Annan reminded, “Also, Blood Fiend is not my ally. It’s just that Delicious Wind Goose brought Blood Fiend to Philip’s house.”
“I see.” Salvatore felt a little sorry.
After knowing it was Annan’s idea to assassinate Philip, he changed the subject and stopped pitying Philip. Instead, he regretted that Philip didn’t die, “That should be because you didn’t communicate well.”
“I supposed Blood Fiend didn’t plan to assassinate Philip initially. However, soone noticed him, pushing to kill Philip. However, he failed.”
“So, he has been discovered.”
“Yes.” Salvatore replied, “It’s the Sacrifice Saint, ‘The Man Against Himself’. He went to the capital to search for Blood Fiend. He will find and kill any Fallen with the special ability. He has been hunting Fallen for more than a decade.”
“His purpose is to prevent the sacred bone of ‘the Flesh of Sacrifice’ from falling into the Fallen’s hands.”
