The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 389
[Chapter 385 Alexander]
To be honest, Annan was really taken aback when he saw the former champion swordsman.
The appearance of this “Alexander Robin” was indeed far beyond Annan’s expectations-
he looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties, extremely tall, at least over 1.85 meters.
The skin is nearly tan sun-tanned, and the hair is reddish-brown.
Alexander has a square face, deep eye sockets, firm eyes, and a beard carefully shaved off, leaving neat stubble.
A scar slanted on his cheek, slanted across his lips, and approached his eyelids.
A little further up, his right eye is about to be gouged out with a knife.
His golden-orange pupil color, which seemed to shine under the light, made Alexander look even more intimidating.
… He doesn’t look like a world-renowned big banker, a legendary investor with sharp eyes, and a big philanthropist known for his generosity.
It is more like a fierce fighter, a stern and reliable mercenary leader.
His thick and heavy hand, covered with sword marks and calluses, subconsciously clenched into fists all the time; and his steady, broad arms as he walks further illustrate this point.
Although he was wearing the suit of the Silver Knight, it looked like a long white suit jacket.
However, the muscles in his shoulders held the suit full, and even a little wrinkle could be seen from being pushed by the muscles.
——This uncle seems to be the type who can chat happily with the delicious wind goose.
This was the first impression that came to Annan’s mind.
How to say that sentence, proper fitness attracts the opposite sex, excessive fitness attracts the same sex…
He is very similar in height and body shape to Delicious Wind Goose.
That is, the skin is obviously rough and thick, while the skin of the delicious wind goose is quite fair.
The biggest difference, of course, is that he has hair…and it’s thick.
And the delicious wind goose has sacrificed its own hair for its own strength.
“What, are you scared by me?”
Taking Annan and Zhi Ji to his office, Mr. Alexander asked Zhi Ji and An Nan to sit across the table, then returned to his seat with a hearty smile.
He made a low and magnetic voice: “Is it a little different from what you imagined?”
“…Yes.
”
Annan nodded, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise, and he almost laughed: ” But it’s not particularly shocking.
“After all, I’ve also seen a Silver Sir priest who is similar in size to you…”
Annan was talking about Salvatore’s friend, Priest Louis. He and Annan can at least be regarded as friends. Friends, the relationship is still good.
Of course, when we meet again next time, Annan will call each other “Louis Knight”.
“Oh?
Alexander raised his brows and asked, “Is he born in the Silver Hand?
”
Now in the capital, are you planning to become a silver knight?
”
“…you know him?”
Annan blinked, not particularly surprised.
But
think about it, after all, the silver knights are those people.
Old Bread can introduce himself to Alexander to learn swordsmanship, which shows that Alexander is definitely not the kind of strong man who hides his swordsmanship. And
Alexander is currently the best active silver knight in swordsmanship, there will definitely be many young silver knights and alternate silver knights who want to come to him to learn. It is not surprising that he knows Louis.
However, if you look closely…
Alexander stretched out his hand He patted it on the table, laughed cheerfully, and raised his voice a bit: “Is that kid Louis?
”
Yes – I met him at Frozen Water Harbor.”
”
“Well, he was indeed dispatched to Frozen Water Harbor. He’s a good boy… It’s not surprising that he took me over in such a dangerous and life-threatening task.”
Alexander’s voice became calm and magnetic again: ” He’s my pride. Just like his father.”
…Huh?
Annan was a little surprised: “He’s yours…?”
“He’s my nephew, my nephew.”
Alexander said slowly: “His father is my younger brother and a silver knight… I’m a silver knight… The head of the hand. When he was still in the hand of the silver, he was taught by me personally.
“When he was investigating the case of a black widow’s believer who poisoned the well and caused the death of the whole village, his wife was arrested. Killed in revenge.
Louis had just been born at the time and had to be placed in my house and raised by my wife.
“And he used a costly ritual that made his state unstable. Later he died on the way to purify the nightmare… When he finally turned into a demon, it was me who executed the execution myself.
“I promised him Last request, to take care of his son for him.
When I was young, I made a vow of sterilization and abstinence for greater strength… So Louis is my son.
”
…I see.
No wonder.
So, Louis and Alexander’s bodies are actually not too different, both in height and weight. In Noah, there are not many men over 1.8 meters tall— -The height of male adult elves is almost 1.8 meters, but the oasis humans are shorter.
But if you look closely, their hair color is a little red, but it is not as deep… Their faces are also different. A bit similar. Only compared with Alexander, who is like a lion and seems to be angry at any time, his nephew Louis looks much gentler and calmer, with fairer skin and almost no scars on his body.
But another problem arises in Annan .
heart.
Seeing Annan’s doubts, Alexander said, “Are you trying to ask me why you let Louis go to Frozen Water Harbor?”
“Just a little question.”
Annan nodded and explained: “After all, you should I also know… the frozen water port is too dangerous.
“Its nightmare can be purified smoothly, in fact, it has nothing to do with Louis.
This is a task that he can’t handle at all, why let him perform it?
”
It’s not that I want him to do it, but someone has to do it.”
It was many years ago that the last priest was contaminated by the nightmare of Frozen Water Harbor – before he became a demon, he was recalled to the capital to take poison and die, and died with honor as a human being.
“But after that, we don’t know what happened to the frozen water port. We know that the skeleton man stayed there for a long time, trying to hold some kind of ceremony… The frozen water port is a border area, and we need to send more A priest, bring it under control.
“This extremely difficult nightmare that has not been purified for fifty years, at least one priest needs to be sent to monitor – at least in the event of an irreversible emergency, Report to the capital or Roseburg immediately, and thoroughly purify the frozen water port before the worst results appear.
Alexander said calmly: ”
Actually, we didn’t plan to recruit a ‘purifier’ at first, we just planned to recruit a ‘monitor’.
There is no need to choose these young and capable people from the hands of silver with a bright future… just send an old bishop to take over.
“For other distortion-level nightmares, ‘monitoring’ is much simpler – just enter the nightmare and carefully observe the changes in the nightmare, and then exit in time. But in this nightmare, you will lose your memory if you are careless… …the more you want to ‘surveillance’, the more you have to try to ‘cleanse’.”
This is a dead end.
In any case, one must try to purify the nightmare – and the more you try, the easier it is to die in the nightmare and be corrupted by the curse.

Annan finally understood.
That’s why…
Lewis couldn’t understand the mechanics of nightmares and didn’t explore the mechanics of nightmares.
In the case of purifying his nightmares and relying on luck… He stumbles into nightmares every day: in the gallery, without looking back in the infinite corridor of nightmares, walking silently forward.
– He is sticking to his mission.
He doesn’t explore the mechanism, so he can survive longer.
It is to prevent others from taking their place…not to let others sacrifice.
… Annan finally realized.
For myself and for the players, it is equivalent to the nightmare of upgrading the “dungeon”… For the “aboriginal”, what does it mean.
It was a real-nightmare.
