The Righteous Player(s)

After Annan has digested the true power of the [Book of Crane Wheel], and has a general understanding of how these abilities should be used...

The previously regenerated Fourth Historical Theory that exuded magical light finally showed its true form in front of Annan.

——This represents the complete demise of Philip.

A tragedy about tragedy has come to an end, and the [Fourth Theory of History] has reappeared in the world.

Although the name is "The Fourth Theory of History", it is not a book.

It's a strangely shaped...pure white slate?

It looks like a very thin slate. To Annan, the slate is still relatively large, but for an adult's hand, it can be held with one hand and is slightly larger than the palm of the hand.

Its shape is more complicated-if you want to describe it, it's like a pure white opaque tablet with strange decorations on the edges. It is similar to the book in the hands of a scholar in a baboon, with a delicate and inexplicable light gold decoration on the edge.

It can be said to be a very refined ancient stone slab that has been polished, or it can be said to be a portable operation center for a spacecraft.

But on a closer look, it is full of high-tech feelings. Because of its shape, it even looks a bit like a circuit board, and its color...

"...It looks like it was produced by the Orokin Empire."

Annan couldn't help but vomit.

This pure white stone slab has slender golden ornaments on the edges. Does it look like an Orokin style...notebook?

What's more outrageous is that there is something similar to a pen on its right side.

It was a light blue hexagonal crystal slightly longer than an adult's finger.

When not in use, this pen is embedded on the right side of the note. There is a light golden ornament, which just forms a device similar to a "pen holder", which can be easily embedded in it.

And on the top of that crystal, there is a golden ornament that looks like a flower. From the bud-like golden ornaments to the top, there is a branch-like golden pipe connected to the golden ornaments wrapped around the edge of the Fourth Historical Theory.

...Is it a special pen?

It's reasonable, after all, this slate doesn't look like it can be written with a regular pen...

It can be said to be an exceptionally gorgeous decoration.

Annan can even see that even the "golden flower bud" connected to the end of the pen has at least seven layers of reliefs. And all the "golden decorations" have densely packed carvings or patterns-that is a part that is absolutely invisible at a rough glance, and even feels that this style is simple and luxurious.

Only when you look closely like Annan will you see its real decorations.

This idle style...

Could it be produced by Yaweng?

"From this point of view, it's a bit like a signature pen at a bank counter. There is even an anti-loss function..."

Annan murmured casually, and took down the crystal pen with some curiosity.

At that moment-it was as if something was activated, and it seemed to be turned on suddenly.

The light blue "Crystal Pen" suddenly emits a shimmering light all over the body, like a glow stick for calling CALL.

And the slate covered with golden ornaments, like a tablet in a resting state, suddenly turned on, shining with a pure white shimmer.

Light blue brilliance also circulates in the surrounding golden decorations of unknown significance. In the blink of an eye, layers of panels emerged—many transparent pages floating in the air flashed past Annan.

In Annan's eyes, things of the same style also flashed through.

Whether it’s fonts or UI special effects, they are exactly the same——

It is his system.

【The Fourth Historical Theory】

【Type: Proof of Supreme (orange)】

[Description: History has three layers: forward history, upward history, and deeper history, but there may also be a fourth layer of history that should not exist. The words written in this book will turn into a fourth history that doesn’t exist]

[Effect: The user can use the "Stone Wedge" to write a reasonable future, and the specific time of the future realization must be stated. The users themselves must be able to imagine how this will be realized in the future. If this future is possible to be realized; then the contract is reached, and the fourth historical theory will disappear, and will not reappear until the day when history reappears. The history recorded in the Fourth Theory of History in this way must be realized, and this effect cannot be modified or covered by any effect again]

[Cost: the user will be cursed "a quarter of the beings"; the user will be cursed "a witness of false history"; the user will be cursed "the attritor of the fourth history"]

[A quarter of the beings: immediately lose a quarter of their memory, wisdom, soul, and desire; this curse can be obtained many times, up to four times. 】

[Witness of false history: Before the fourth history written down becomes reality, using any extraordinary power will lead to exile into the cracks of time]

[The wearer of the fourth historical theory: the new user of the fourth historical theory must be younger than you]

[When "Curse Binding: One-Quarter of Beings" is acquired by the same person for the fourth time, when this spell is obtained again, a new Curse Binding: Narrator of Secret History will be obtained

[The narrator of the secret history: When using the fourth historical theory, you will no longer pay other costs and no longer get new curses; but you will be banished to the "day of future realization" along with the fourth historical theory. Before the narrator of the secret history dies, others can no longer use the fourth historical theory]

Annan's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

If he remembers correctly... Philip should have used the Fourth Historical Theory for the fourth or fifth time.

He can use it again at most once, and he won't be able to pay any more.

In other words, he will "grow together" the whole person with the Fourth Historical Theory.

He will be the incarnation of the fourth historical theory, or it can be said that the concept of the fourth historical theory has acquired the identity of mankind... After that, he can use the fourth historical theory as he pleases and anchor the future. .

Annan suddenly looked at the tragedy writer.

Although full of regrets, Annan's heart was full of relief.

——Because the tragedy writer is wrong.

His judgment on Philip was wrong... Philip was not what he thought, because his desires were too lofty and his ability was too low in comparison, so that he would never accomplish anything in his life.

His very long life has only accomplished one thing.

That is [Seeing the return of the crane].

In the end, he did abide by the contract of the tragedy writer and "died in a grand tragedy." But this tragedy is not his life.

But he struggled repeatedly in the abyss to the end and chose to give up.

But I don't know if I take a few steps forward... everything will be changed.

This is his tragedy-it is about his perseverance, his determination, his "luck".

There is a tragedy about tragedy, but it is not Philip's life. The tragedy writer explained this way because he did not understand how Annan came to this world...

Philip's long life was indeed fruitful.

It was the last section of the future he wrote in the Fourth Historical Theory...not to extend his own life, but to choose to extend the glory of this world.

This may not be due to his lack of perseverance.

It was he who made a decision.

"——I will see the return of the crane."

That is to say... the reason why Annan was dragged into this world by the power of the remaining crane back then was reincarnated in the Principality of Winter. It is because Philip of the previous generation wrote this sentence of the future.

He was the culprit who caused Annan to suddenly come into this world...probably.

Annan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He didn't know how to face Philip.

Annan is a man who is very afraid of trouble.

If it is not necessary, he can't wait to do nothing, lying on the sofa lazily like a cat; if it must be done~www.readwn.com~, he will complete it with the highest efficiency. He hates unpredictable and unsolvable troubles in his peaceful life... But if he encounters troubles, he will only sigh and try to solve them.

It is not a special talent. It's just an ordinary high-performance social animal.

Different from the players.

Annan's previous life was very good and very peaceful. And when he came into this world, he was not like the players, able to resurrect happily, and had companions who understood and supported himself.

He is alone and has no way out.

But Annan unexpectedly discovered that he didn't really hate Philip, who had given him huge and incomparable cross-world troubles for no reason...

Is it possible that there is still a brave or heroic spirit hidden in my heart?

Annan was a little confused for a while.

But one thing is certain.

Only he can fulfill the mission of the "Crown Wheel". And this world can't wait for the next crane.

He is the first and last savior.

"Are you going to keep it for yourself?"

Seeing Annan fixedly gazing at the fourth historical theory in the unfolded form in his hand, the pardoner on the side asked curiously.

Annan sighed and shook his head: "It's annoying to watch.

"...Take it back to Kafni, the thing belongs to the original owner."

Anyway, Kafney's things can also be regarded as his things.

——Compared with the illusory "future" and "destiny" and other broken things, Kafani, Thrall-senpai, and his brothers and sisters are truly incomparably real.
