The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 1129

[Chapter 164 Arthur Burning Tooth (3 in 1 big chapter!)]

In fact, Arthur Burning Fang was really not familiar with Grand Duke Annan before.

30% of his understanding of Annan comes from information that everyone knows… The remaining 70% comes from the narration of the sin pardoner on weekdays.

…Arthur is not a low EQ player.

Of course he knew that the pardoner obviously had a strong affection for Grand Duke Annan.

However, the pardoner has become a god, and Grand Duke Annan is about to complete his sublimation – they are indeed people of a world.

different from myself.

But even from the three words of the sin pardoner… Arthur already knew enough about Annan.

Some people may think that Annan is an amazing person, some people may think that Annan is a man who likes to play tricks, and some people may think that Annan is “their light”.

But Arthur is different.

He envied Annan.

I really really envy Annan.

It’s not that I envy him for being selected by the Book of Heaven’s Chariot… but that I envy him for being born in the Winter Family.

Can have a father, brother and sister who love him.

–yes.

Arthur was proud of his own blood, but deeply hated his own blood.

He came from the Burning Fang family and was born with anticipation.

And hope this kind of thing… its existence is not absolute.

For some, longings and longings best come soon; for others, curses best never come.

Just like the “heart of winter” of the Winter family.

Arthur also has this innate curse… But unlike the Winter family, this curse is not necessarily inherited in the Burning Fang family.

That is the origin of the name of the “Burning Fang” family.

The spell called “Scorching Tooth”—it was like a hot, sharp soldering iron had made a mark on his body.

That wound was sharp and long like wolf teeth, they were born with it.

Babies who have been branded with “scorching teeth” by unknown forces will have a high fever from the first year of life.

Until they are four or five years old,

they will gradually return to ordinary people… After that, their body temperature will also permanently become higher than ordinary people.

Legend has it that they were bitten by the wolf in the womb before they were born.

They are attacked by gods who symbolize the harvest, which means that they are born with the power to destroy “civilization”.

…though nowhere near that exaggerated.

The truth is that each “scar of the tooth” can replace the “eye”, “finger”, “palm” and other parts to cast spells.

Not only can it greatly expand the casting range, but it can also cast spells normally in many blind spots.

And this curse is cumulative.

– For example, if there is a “scorching tooth” on the back, then you can use the spells behind you that “must look at the target”; if there is a “scorching tooth” on the chest, you can use it without Raise your hand to cast a spell that “must be on target with your fingertips”.

It’s like a “useless organ” born on the surface of their skin.

In the same way… Since it is an organ, it can be sacrificed by distorted magic.

This means that they have more “organs” than ordinary people that can be discarded.

The distortion spell that must be cast away from one eye can only be used twice by ordinary people… but the Destruction Wizard with “Scorching Tooth” can use it three, four, or even more.

The price is that every time you use “Scar of the Teeth” to cast a spell, it will cause it to bleed.

And it’s essentially a fistula… if it’s not in the right place, or there are too many, it can be life-threatening.

And Arthur was born with thirteen “burning teeth marks”.

This is the largest number in the entire Burning Fang family.

If Arthur is the silver tier, he will be the strongest Burning Fang in the silver tier; and if he successfully reaches the golden tier, then he will definitely become the tower master of the next generation of the Lava Forbidden Tower… that is, the patriarch of the Burning Fang family. , the man in power behind the scenes in the United Kingdom.

There is a problem here.

That is his parents, who can only be regarded as the middle class in the family.

The patriarchs of this generation have their own heirs, and the elders have longed for this position for a long time… The “Children of the Tower” mechanism of the Wizard’s Tower also allows foreigners to settle in the Lava Forbidden Tower – In that case, it means that The master of the tower with a foreign surname is about to intermarry with the Burning Fang family.

The target would naturally be the daughter or granddaughter of the Tower Lord.

But Arthur’s appearance has disrupted the whole situation.

His parents’ talents are quite ordinary, and there is no value in attracting them; and he only has that “possibility”… Whether they can advance to gold is not something that they, the bronze-silver-level wizards, can see at a glance.

If it is a secular noble, at this time either take him as the adopted son of the patriarch, get engaged to him, or kill him directly.

The elders of House Burning Fang and the Denisoya advisors both preferred the third option.

That is also the safest option.

However, some of the “Burning Teeth”, including the current patriarch, didn’t want him to die.

A wizard of destruction with thirteen “burning teeth marks”, even if he can’t advance to gold, he is a very talented person.

Due to the characteristics of the sabotage after death, the wizard of destruction can basically only be knocked out and controlled by people, but cannot be killed directly… But this problem does not exist in Arthur.

Those “scorching tooth marks” hidden under the clothes can be transformed into “eyes” through sacrifice rituals; and the ability to cast spells 360 degrees without any dead ends without any casting action makes him the strongest “deterrent”. .

For the Lava Forbidden Tower pursuing “deterrence”, he is an indispensable talent.

——But if you want to cultivate him as the tower master, it is not safe.

Because he may not really be able to advance to gold.

This may instead allow him to secretly kill the real successor after he has gained power.

And as long as Arthur exists, it means that other people’s interests are damaged.

On the bright side, he is the “hope for the future” that no one can hurt.

People did not dare to use drastic means, lest they be retaliated by the angry patriarch.

But secretly, suspicion, jealousy, suppression, exploitation… and even the most extreme, assassination.

A life that Annan has never experienced, Arthur has experienced a circle before Annan’s age.

When he was seven years old, he nearly died of food poisoning for the first time because he ate pastries at home;

and among the “little friends” who visited him, it was unknown who took his hair and nails… Purpose Just to curse and kill him;

when he recovered, he almost got into the carriage of his other uncle and was sent to the outside of the city to be killed silently;

he was also kidnapped by pirates when he was out, and his father also He died because of this, and the pirates were also hired; when he was studying in a warehouse, he was locked in it for three days and three nights. He was hungry and thirsty and was forced to swallow sponges soaked in his own urine, He did not give up his life because of this, and nearly died in the end.

Repeat this for more than ten years.

Until he enrolled in the Lava Forbidden Tower.

The continuous killing intent from the same family, the same surname, and the same bloodline… has already burned out the warmth of Arthur’s bloodline.

Fortunately, the patriarch of this generation, that is, the current tower owner of the Lava Forbidden Tower, saved him a little.

As for what happened to him… the patriarch didn’t think it was something to be concerned about.

His confirmation could be Arthur’s “possibility”.

But that possibility is based on “everyone else is trash”.

This does not mean that Arthur is not a waste.

The patriarch believed that all the Burning Fangs of this generation were rubbish that did not deserve to be called “Scorching Fangs” – rather than handing over the position of the Tower Lord to them, it was better to give it to outsiders.

Arthur is half an exception.

He was “lucky” and was born with extraordinary talents.

If he can be recognized by the Lava Forbidden Tower and become the son of the tower after he enters school… then he will receive the most formal training.

Inherit everything from him, including factions.

It is precisely because of this that the assassination of Arthur is always just a joke.

Otherwise Arthur would already be dead.

One instant death spell, one explosion.

When the whole family is a wizard of destruction, it is too simple to kill an ordinary person who is not even an extraordinary person.

Because that doesn’t deserve to be called a “conspiracy” at all.

Even “tempting” may not be enough.

It was just pure and incomparably full of “maliciousness” that had overflowed.

Arthur must use his own brains to find out the malicious master entangled in him.

And let him find the evidence by himself – his parents are trash, and they have no trusted relatives, so Arthur can only come by himself.

As long as Arthur finds evidence, the patriarch will mercilessly kill the prisoner.

Even if it was his biological child.

That’s right – even people of the same race, even immediate family members, who are found guilty of a crime, must be given a fair verdict.

With an attitude of indifference to inhumanity, make the most objective, fair and beneficial choices for most people.

That’s the rule of the Burning Fangs.

As long as it is “burning teeth”, it must be arrogant.

They are born to be mediators…at the age of ten they learn how to see things from a detached perspective, how to judge and judge things fairly.

They will be oppressed, blackmailed, threatened, or even controlled, kidnapped, assassinated, and it is a matter of course.

They must survive it—and not only that, but they must not be smeared with guilt.

Because as long as there is a crime and a handle is left behind, they may be threatened.

In this way, such a powerful force will be controlled by people.

That’s not just the power of an explosion, a beam of fire, an instant-death spell.

It is their influence that is enough to change the political situation and change the world.

This is the source of the inherently strong self-confidence, self-esteem, and pride of the Burning Fang family.

For they must be stronger, more independent, and wiser than anyone else, to have the power to exercise this duty that only they can exercise.

– Mediation.

At first, Arthur would be shocked and overwhelmed.

At that time, he didn’t know how to be afraid at all.

When you grow up, it is the extreme fear of being almost killed.

Then there’s the sadness of his “friends” trying to kill him too, the pain of seeing that anyone could kill him, and the pain that no one dares to trust, and wondering why he’s here, damn it What is the meaning of “talent” in depression.

And when the crying Arthur stood up again from the endless self-examination.

He will never cry again.

– He was only thirteen years old then.

He took it for granted that he recognized his excellence, and realized that excellent people would inevitably be envied by others.

What’s more, his excellence is not unrelated to them… He just exists and may destroy the future of others.

“I am a person who lives in the present and in the future.”

He vowed: “All the pain I am going through now is to reach that ‘future’.”

He gave up all entertainment, even humanity—he cut ties with his mother and became the adopted son of an elder; he secretly sold his body to nobles and ladies in exchange for wealth; he publicly forgave those Those who once killed themselves used these wealth and the authority of their adoptive father to persuade or coerce them to enter into contracts and to approve strict “new rules” to control their peers.

When he got a more relaxed environment, he immediately began to study like crazy, absorbing all the knowledge he could get his hands on.

Even etiquette and calligraphy—even speech and mannerisms are striving for perfection.

He even sacrificed six “Scorching Tooth Marks” with ritual sacrifices to continuously strengthen his soul and increase the capacity of his mana pool.

He chewed charcoal and embers every day and tasted the smell of “fire”.

When he just arrived at the bronze level… he showed his unusual desire.

This too heterogeneous and too strong desire finally attracted the attention and admiration of the big men.

There is no doubt that little Arthur ignited his lust for gold.

– This is no longer a mere “possibility”.

Not a mortal being born with good luck without knowing it, but a great being destined to become a big man.

The presence or absence of “Scorching Tooth” is irrelevant.

Just with this desire and perseverance, even if he cannot become the tower master, he will become another golden rank and join the “Advisory Council”; the last time he can become the family’s talker, eventually become an elder, and become the kingdom of Denisoya. The “chief justice” of the “committee”, of course, holds the front row position in the “committee” – even becomes the chairman of the committee.

Arthur, who was only fourteen years old, was destined to become a “big man”.

In this way, he is no longer a creature of the same level as the cowardly crybaby before.

After he graduated from the Lava Forbidden Tower, he was sent all over the world – just a bronze rank, he was about to start trying to “mediate”.

When he is familiar with the workflow of the Burning Fang family, he will come back to take over the family business.

He was cautious in his words and deeds along the way, without committing any crimes and leaving no clues.

He has changed from a teenager to a young man, his actions have become more mature and stable, and his speech and manners have become more elegant and free.

But when Arthur returned, he encountered an accident.

——He encountered an unknown attack in the underground city.

Because he didn’t want to kill… Arthur hesitated for a while when he fought back, and was knocked unconscious.

When Arthur woke up again, he was soaked in ice water, and there was severe pain throughout his body.

——The “scorching teeth marks” on his body, and the alien desire burning in his heart, don’t know who sacrificed them.

This goal is too precise.

So much so that Arthur immediately realized that there must be traitors around him.

But at that moment, the unshakable Arthur had fear.

Having lost the “Scorching Tooth”… can he really inherit the Lava Forbidden Tower?

Can he really reach “that ending” as he swore before?

He didn’t speak up, didn’t call for help—because the long-lost fear in his heart had returned.

He feared that he had called for help but failed to catch the thief.

In that case, everything he has gained may disappear in an instant.

After all, the scars of burning teeth are hidden under the clothes… As long as he hides it well, maybe no one will be able to detect it immediately.

So Arthur chose to keep the matter quiet and returned to Denisoya.

as predicted.

The family didn’t realize that Arthur had lost his roots as a “genius”.

But when Arthur returns to the Lava Forbidden Tower.

In desperation, he discovered something.

That is the Lava Forbidden Tower. In the past few years that he has been out… he has chosen the new son of the tower.

– But not him.

Not even any Burning Tooth, but a girl with a foreign surname.

At the age of nineteen, she was already able to advance to gold.

She is not like herself, bursting towards gold with the unreliable desire to “become a big man”, but with a determination to “weigh all justice and injustice”.

That desire is enough for advanced gold, but she can control it.

Because she judged her current strength and ability, she could not control the situation after becoming the tower master, so she chose to continue to develop and suppress her progress.

The strong desire for destruction brought about by learning destructive spells, and her irritable and arrogant temper were also completely restrained by her.

Even Arthur had to admit her talent and the fact that he was jealous of each other.

He even fell in love with each other uncontrollably because of their excellence.

Even if you can’t get the position of the tower master, it might be good if you can get her.

Arthur thought so.

——But it was because of the “love” in his heart that everything was ruined for him.

Once he lost his determination to “do whatever it takes”, Arthur quickly fell.

The fire of his desire was as dim as a candle, and the whole person lost that spirit.

Strength and judgment do not advance but retreat.

He realized that he had to work hard.

So Arthur didn’t notify the tower master and chose to advance directly to Silver… But something went wrong on the way to the advance, and he almost didn’t wake up from the nightmare, or even fell into a demon.

It was the Tower Master himself who “destroyed” the curse wrapped around him.

It was detected that he had recently been injected with a mixture of “Devil’s Blood”.

And found that his “scorching tooth” had disappeared.

Of course, everyone knew that he was framed because he really had no reason to do so.

But because he didn’t choose to call the family at the time, he couldn’t prove his innocence.

The result of the soul search could not be shown to a third party, so it could not be used as evidence… But he had used the blood of the devil, so it could be used as evidence.

For the Burning Fang family who emphasized the most and must never leave a “handle”, this was equivalent to cutting off his ascension path.

It is precisely because of the clear realization that it seems that someone is targeting the “Burning Fang” family… So those who tried to murder Arthur when he was young did not continue to attack him when he was killed.

They all ignored Arthur and got caught up in the busy work of searching for the murderer.

They even went back to caring about Arthur, taking care of his life… but that made Arthur even more unacceptable.

Arthur, who barely advanced to the silver rank, because the corrosion and erosion of a trace of demon blood has exceeded 70%… Basically, it is impossible to enter the golden rank.

He is still a superhuman of the silver rank.

He is still a justice with rich “mediation experience”.

For ordinary people, he is a “superior person”.

Before the age of thirty, he has become a winner of life’s winners – young, healthy, tall, handsome, elegant, wise, powerful, gifted.

But only Arthur himself knew…he was a loser.

Because he was born with great talent, he started with a good hand.

He gave up everything for this, just to reach the “end that will be reached”.

But because of his own “negligence” several times, it was buried.

You can never get closer to your original goal.

Overnight, he seemed to have changed back to the thirteen-year-old crybaby Arthur.

Although he persistently chose “not to cry”… he still chose to escape.

He didn’t dare to go back to the Lava Forbidden Tower, and he didn’t dare to go home.

But after he disappeared, no one came to look for him… As if in an instant, he became irrelevant.

Arthur came to the underground city in a daze, thinking that his future was ruined anyway.

He was entrusted with killing people to earn money – or to vent, and the money he earned was used to play with women and drink, and the whole person was degraded visibly to the naked eye.

And a few years later, like a lost dog… he met his “captain” Celicia.

It was a puppet-like girl whose appearance was very similar to that of the son of the tower.

The moment he saw her, Arthur was stunned.

Even though reason told him that these should be two different people… but he still instinctively and timidly wanted to escape.

“You are Arthur Burntooth. I have heard of you.”

When

she met, she said: “You and I are the same kind of people. People who once had hope, but were betrayed by hope.”

The petite girl stretched out her hand to Arthur, who was drunk with hazy eyes.

“But I believe… you definitely haven’t given up.

“Because there is pain in your eyes, but no despair.

You are just confused, but you haven’t given up.

“Do you want to follow? Come with me… bet one last time. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com ”

She said so, pulling the numb Arthur back from the hopeless hell.

Today, Arthur has already become a “character in the legend” and a cardinal of the pardoner.

He even touched the edge of the golden step, and the whole person regained self-confidence.

It did not come from his talent, nor from his surname, rank, or strength.

Also from everything he’s done.

He returned to the country again.

Not as a loser or a deserter.

Not as a “big man” or “hope for the future”.

It was Arthur Burntooth—in his own name, having an equal discussion with the rulers of both nations.

–He is back.
