Chapter 1061 292. Under the prophecy
Annan felt that his guess was very close to the truth...
But there was a mysterious mage who could produce something as good as the fruit of corruption and predict the future. There's no reason why he couldn't predict that he wouldn't get kicked in, right? Or does the mysterious man think he will give the thing to Babatord?
Annan didn't think so, because he thought of a suitable candidate.
In front of the little bat, Annan opened the portal to the kingdom of the dead and asked the Skeleton King if he needed the fruit of corruption.
The Skeleton King declined, while the Little Bat complained about Annan's random act of giving away the treasure to others - why not give it to him?
"I'm glad you can think of me, but I don't need it."
The Skeleton King nodded to the uncomfortable little bat and continued: "Coldness and death have become mine. Part of it, if I lose these, my power will also disappear."
"Okay..."
It seems that Skeleton King is not the "correct answer".
After thinking about it, Annan had no choice but to take the Fruit of Corruption to the dungeon and meet Babatado.
"I...have said everything that needs to be said..." Babatado looked bitter.
Annan did not come here to continue to exploit Baba Tod: "I got the fruit of corruption"
"What fruit of corruption..."
"The mysterious man left Something for you.”
Babatado's eyes lit up, and he remembered that the thing was in Annan's hand, and he became lost again: "What is the use of this fruit?"
"It is to turn the lich into an undead. Do you still have the ability to transform the lich? "Secret?"
Baba Tod didn't answer. He seemed to be thinking of something and was stunned, with emotions between ecstasy and loss, joy and sadness constantly showing on his face.
After a long time, he regained his composure.
"What did you think of?" Annan asked.
Babataud sat there calmly, regaining a trace of his former temperament: "You are not a rat man, right?"
Annan was noncommittal.
"It's okay to tell you... Do you know the second prince?"
"He also colluded with the rat people?" Annan said in surprise, this Rekaner Palace is rotten to the core.
"What...?" Babatot quickly denied: "No, no, he is very clean. The rat people just turned to support the prince because they couldn't do anything about him."
"His life box is with the empire. We just need to send the fruit of corruption there and resurrect him, and everything will get better..."
Annan looked at him: "As you said before, Youhe Gram... The king united with the rat people to kill him. Why do you think he will save you if he gets the thing?"
Baba Tod was dumbfounded: "Because I gave him the life box..."
It doesn’t matter whether Babatot still has some conscience or he hedges his bets. While working for the Skaven, he also left a seed for the royal family.
Then the question comes.
"If the mysterious man thinks that the Fruit of Corruption can save you, but it is in my hands... why should I give it to the second prince?"
Baba Tod said: "You have plundered all the wealth I have accumulated. , Isn’t it enough?”
Annan shook his head: “I know the value of one corruption fruit, and your wealth is not worth it.”
“Olme. "Master, you and the Councilor are loyal to the kingdom, and Vitalig is the only clean royal family."
That's right, but Annan is not Master Olme. He has no loyalty to the kingdom, only hatred.
"Can the kingdom accept letting an undead take over the country?"
"It is better than being taken over by rat puppets and the country being destroyed." Babatado broke the jar and said.
"I want to think about it..."
Annan and Vitalig had some friendship, but it was only for some small help in Xingyue Bay. Talling Lilith and Ah Simov...wait a minute!
Annan suddenly remembered that Asimov's soul had arrived with Vitalig's phylactery.
Asimov is from the school of prophecy, and the mysterious man is also from the school of prophecy...
The mysterious man said that the fruit of corruption will save Babatord. After he resurrects Vitalig, it is indeed possible that Vitalig will Let him go...
Taling Lilith was Asimov's early payment to Annan to deliver the fruits of corruption to Vitalig three years later. Isn't this possible...?
When Asimov sent the phylactery to Xingyue Bay, Annan thought they had no way to go, but if there was really no way to go, why not go to the Empire instead? Was he still a little lord at that time?
But he predicted the future three years later...?
Annan hurriedly left the dungeon without saying a word and ran to the Purifying Court Tower.
"What else is there!"
Kyle began to miss Baba Todd, at least he wouldn't bother him when he had nothing to do.
“Let me tell you a secret.”
"Secrets are good, I like secrets."
Kyle's complaints disappeared and he quietly listened to Annan telling his story with Vitalig and Asimov.
"Finally, I got the fruit of corruption and connected everything."
"As expected of the former director of the great library..." Little Bat sighed with emotion.
"Is this magic?" Annan couldn't help asking.
"Why not magic?"
"He predicted the future and knows all my actions..."
Does this mean that his life is being manipulated.
Kyle pondered for a moment: "I'm not surprised that you think so, but the prophecy is not as omnipotent as you thought. Asimov only saw certain nodes in the future."
“For example, if I prophesy to you now, I saw what you did, I saw you return to Liberty City, and I saw you gave me a large sum of money.”
"Why should I give you money?"
"For example!"
But Annan understood what the little bat wanted to express, and it made Annan feel better knowing that his fate was not determined like the book. many.
"But Mr. Asimov is really powerful. I'm afraid he was not far from a legend at that time." Kyle expressed his sigh to an acquaintance.
Annan was thinking, if he didn't give Vitalig, would he have broken Asimov's prophecy?
But just like the prophecy is just a fragment of the future, everything is still driven by will: having received the reward of the tower spirit in advance, which is more precious than the arcane energy core, it is difficult for Annan to make a treacherous act.
Asimov was really good at reading people.
"Let me ask about Mount Montreal." Annan decided.
“At my place?” Little Bat said blankly.
"What else? You are the safest here."
Kyle always felt that something was wrong, and his relationship with Annan seemed to be getting deeper and deeper...
On the other side, Annan had opened the portal to the Montreal Mountains.
"Oulin, this is Little Bat, the legendary mage. Little Bat, this is Oulin, the imperial royal family."
After introducing each other, Annan and Oulin told the story: " I need Vitalig's phylactery"
"Vitalig's phylactery is at the Royal Academy of Magic."
"Can you take it out?"
"I'm afraid not... The Master's Court is guarding it and no one is allowed to get close, not even me."
"Then give me the fruit of corruption. What about the past?”
“I don’t see the Royal Academy of Magic wanting to resurrect Vitalig,” Olin said bluntly.
This is troublesome...
When Annan was at a loss what to do, a shadow condensed by light quietly appeared beside him, picked up the wooden box containing the fruit of corruption, and said softly: "Leave it to me."
Annan's black eyes Sudden contraction.
"President?!"
