The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 447: Winter’s Harvest

Done…

Valtore took a deep breath, “Luckily, I have finished in time.”

Her dark red pupils shone with an unsettling, ember-like fire, and her face was filled with exhaustion that could not be concealed.

However, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The laughter was full of contentment.

“As expected of me, I have completed this level of demanding requirements.” Of course, she did not tell Annan what he was asking was very hard.

Limiting Strength and Agility attributes was not the challenge. The difficulty lay in strengthening the Will while “reducing Strength and Agility appropriately”. It was necessary to express the medicinal properties but also to make it less reactive at the same time. Only when the reagent’s effects repeatedly canceled each other would the reagent be crafted.

The reagent that would protect Annan’s life was even more crucial.

How powerful was the reagent had to be so that Annan could survive in front of that level of enemy?

Salvatore did not know.

Neither did his Shadow know.

All they knew and could do was to give it their all.

They would make the most potent reagent they could muster.

This was a battle belonging to the “Salvatore(s)”.

For the first time, Salvatore and his Shadow reached a consensus. They stood in the same position and tried their best to accomplish a goal.

Many reagents were not difficult for an alchemist. The difficulty lay in its quantity. Without Alteration equipment supporting batch productions, making so many reagents in a short period was difficult.

Crafting Alteration products would take a lot of time.

Even Senior Sister “Vatore” could operate only six furnaces simultaneously. With the assistance of Salvatore himself, she could barely craft all these things out.

However, no time was delayed.

The sky had already turned a little bright.

She immediately picked up the agent and left the basement.

The place where these reagents were crafted was not far from Annan. After all, they were both in Count Geraint’s house. The only difference was their location: the backyard and the basement.

However, when she was about to reach the place, she suddenly slowed down her pace.

What’s going on here?

Count Geraint’s backyard turned into an icehouse [1] with hazy white smoke permeating everywhere. As Salvatore approached, he felt the chill on his feet gradually seeping into his bone marrow.

She looked closely and saw that Annan had come out of Frost Tower.

He stared at the rising sun.

The white chill visible to the naked eye was swirling around him like a vortex following the rhythm of Annan’s breathing.

Annan’s hair had also turned into the same frosty white color as Maria’s. His icy blue right eye turned into a vertical pupil. Delicate and soft silver dragon scales grew from his neck near his collarbone.

Senior Sister Valtore felt that Annan’s threat level had increased significantly.

As the instinctive side of Salvatore, her intuition was much more accurate than Salvatore’s.

If she came to control this body, Annan wouldn’t be able to kill her despite having the profession of an alchemist. However, things became different.

She was like a puppy approaching a sleeping beast, as if the other party could easily take his life away.

It was an instinctive trembling and fear.

After hesitating for a while, the Shadow retreated, “Annan?”

Salvatore opened his tired eyes, rubbed them, and walked toward Annan as if nothing had happened.

The most significant difference between him and Shadow was that Salvatore never thought Annan would be his enemy. He did not even have the slightest hint of it.

Because of this, Annan’s deterrence did not hold up in front of him at all.

“Annan?” Salvatore said in exhaustion, “I have done my part here… Cough…”

While talking, he realized that he had not eaten or drunk for 14 hours straight. Not only was his throat hoarse, but he was also even a little dizzy. He was covered in sweat, and his limbs were a little weak.

“Thank you for your hard work, senior.” Annan nodded, and the icy blue vertical pupils gradually changed to human’s round pupils.

However, the fine scales that appeared on his skin did not disappear.

After he completed the Chill of the Winter Sun ritual, Annan unintentionally completed a mission he had received previously.

[Completed: Path of Archaic Bloodline]

[The evolution of the talent “Winter Heart” is completed.]

[“Winter Heart” (Reverse) has evolved to the next stage: Winter’s Harvest (Reverse)]

[Winter’s Harvest (Reverse): You will not feel all negative emotions; the damage of the “frost” element you emit will be permanently increased by 50%; you will be completely immune to the damage of all “frost” elements below the Truth level.]

[After all professions have been promoted to Gold Rank, Winter’s Harvest (Reverse) will evolve to the next stage: Winter’s Blood (Reverse)]

[Winter’s Blood (Reverse): You will not feel all negative emotions; the damage of the “frost” element you emit will be permanently increased by 100%; you will be completely immune to the damage of all “frost” elements below the Truth level.]

[After awakening the Winter’s Blood, you will recall the form in the depths of your bloodline.]

Compared to Winter Heart, it was much more robust.

The reversal of Winter’s Harvest also made Annan less likely to hurt himself.

Silver Sire’s increased resistance to instant death for Annan;

Benjamin provided the Sage’s Stone to Annan through senior;

The Old Grandmother granted the blessing and the mystery of the world’s creation of “Austere-Winter”;

Winter’s Harvest, given to Annan by the Silent Lady, engraved with the Reverse Inscription;

Mr. Ray blessed him with “Chill of the Winter Sun” personally.

And the many reagents provided by the seniors.

Annan felt all the kindness.

Although his mood was calm and serious, the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

He felt that he was truly loved.

To be watched, to be blessed, and to have anticipation placed on him.

Maybe the others would be stressed…

But Annan loved this feeling—

Annan took the reagent package from Salvatore.

Without hesitation, he raised his head and drank all the bottles he recognized.

Then, he paused for a while after seeing the two bottles of reagent that he had never seen before.

Annan never thought that Salvatore could achieve it.
