The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 590: Husky: OvO?

Chapter 590: Husky: OvO?

Under the watchful eyes of Annan and the players, Husky and Thirteenth Fragrance had subtly reached the same progress in different worlds.

Husky and Thirteenth Fragrance were in different worlds, with different companions and conversations. Even the main missions were different too, but they all went to the predestined barbecue restaurant.

Husky’s side had three side missions.

Thirteenth Fragrance’s mission was the same as Annan’s before entering the nightmare.

There was only one main mission named [Changing Fate]. The description was “to prevent Ingrid from acting alone”.

This “fate” referred to the fact that Gray Professor deliberately let Ingrid enter the alley, and she was crushed to death by the collapsed building in the brief earthquake that followed.

Thirteenth Fragrance had already known what would happen through Annan.

So the death resulting from the sudden rise in difficulty became meaningless to him.

Ingrid wanted to go out to “answer the phone” because she received the message from Gray Professor.

Thirteenth Fragrance firmly refused Ingrid’s request to go out.

Thirteenth Fragrance was direct. He utilized the persuasiveness of his Frederick ident.i.ty and said, “I feel that something bad will happen if we go out at this time.” In the end, Ingrid believed him.

Afterward, Thirteenth Fragrance sat beside Ingrid and covered Ingrid’s ears with both hands. He tightly covered Ingrid’s right ear with his right hand and put on Ingrid’s ring with his left hand, twisting it into an eggsh.e.l.l shape and sticking it to her ear.

Such an intimate gesture made Ingrid’s cheeks blush.

However, Ingrid did not push Thirteenth Fragrance away.

Ingrid lowered her head. Her breathing quickened slightly, and her gaze somewhat evasive.

Even during the first two attempts to establish a connection, she was somewhat absent-minded. Despite the silence, she couldn’t quite make out the contents of the “voice message” that Professor Gray had sent her.

Thirteenth Fragrance had a realization.

…Ingrid is pursuing Frederick.

Thirteenth Fragrance looked up sympathetically at Justice sitting across from him.

It feels like cheating.

…But that’s not quite right either.

After all, it’s Justice’s secret love without a relationship.

It seems that Ingrid has no interest in Justice at all.

But there is something strange. Justice doesn’t seem to have much reaction to this scene…

The three of them sat in the barbeque store.

Before the barbecue meat was served on the table, Thirteenth Fragrance felt that the seat began to shake.

It was like sitting on a trampoline. The ground suddenly became soft and floated like a wave.

Under their gaze, the whole city was undulating up and down. The Speckled Bone Forest outside was collapsing with a loud crash.

[Completed the main mission: Changing fate.]

The next moment, a new prompt appeared in front of Thirteenth Fragrance.

…That’s it? That’s it

Questions arose in Thirteenth Fragrance’s mind.

On the other side, Husky also arrived at the Speckled Bone Forest at the same time and entered the barbecue store almost at the same time.

What was different from the Thirteenth Fragrance was that Husky followed his nature and unceremoniously ordered a lot of food.

“That’s too many!” Ingrid complained, “We can’t finish it at all.”

“If we can’t finish it, we can grab them as a takeaway.”

Frederick had a gentle tone, “As long as we don’t waste the food.”

“I can also pack it up and take it away. Don’t worry!” Husky said sternly even though he felt that there would be nothing left in the end.

Anyway, it’s not my stomach, nor my reputation. What’s the worst that can happen? Being stuffed to death, and even vomiting from overeating. It doesn’t matter.

It is rare to be able to eat meat casually without worrying about gaining weight, calories, blood pressure, blood lipids, and uric acid.

Isn’t that beautiful?

Thinking of this, Husky showed an innocent smile, “Freder—”

“What’s up?”

“Do you want to have alcohol? I’d like to get some drink.” Husky laughed foolishly.

“No problem at all.” Frederick responded softly.

Then, the table was added with two buckets of apple beer. Husky turned his head and said with a smile, “Let’s drink together.”

“Oh, do you drink, Freder?” Ingrid let out a sigh. She mustered up her courage and said, “Then, give me a bucket of it too!”

“Girls shouldn’t drink too much. If you want to have a taste, grabbed some from me.”

Frederick rejected Ingrid’s request.

Frederick said with some nostalgia, “Of course, I can drink pretty well.”

“It’s more accurate to say that I didn’t drink much water when I was a child.”

“Why?”

“The goal is to develop my divinity.” Frederick replied.

Frederick gave an example, “Look at the professor. Why does he always have the smell of alcohol? The purpose is the same.”

“Some islands in the United Kingdom hold the Drinking Festival in March every year. This is a festival that originates from the Papal Kingdom. After the [House of Purity] was established, these festivals were canceled, but the United Kingdom adopted the tradition.”

[TN: Denizoya & Fildes Archipelago United Kingdom.]

“Drinking Festival?”

Ingrid asked suspiciously, “But I remember that none of the clergy or deity is directly related to wine. Could it be a festival dedicated to the ‘Deity of Harvest and Brewing’, the Wolf of the Valley? Or ‘the Drunk Madman’, Tragedy Writer?”

“It is indeed related. Some people in the United Kingdom also think that they are offering sacrifices to the Wolf of the Balley. But strictly speaking, it is not.”

Frederick shook his head slowly and explained softly, “The Drinking Deity is a deity that does not actually exist. Because the essence of drinking here does not refer to the alcohol we drink, but the chaotic state after drinking.”

“Before the Osserians entered this continent, the Ya.s.serans had already invented wine. It was only after people got drunk that they named the beverage, ‘wine’, they discovered by accident.”

“At that time, the Yaselan people hadn’t seen the real deities, didn’t understand divine art, and were still in the uncivilized period. They worshiped this chaotic state after drunkenness, and believed that it had some kind of divinity.”

“So there comes a Drinking Festival. People would drink ale every year on March 3rd, the day after the alcohol was ripe. The Drinking Festival usually lasts for three days. By the way, this is also why the concept of ‘Drinking’ was thought to possess extraordinary power. During these three days, everyone is not allowed to drink water but only alcohol.”

“Those, who drank alcohol, will feel dry and hot. The Yaselan people think it is the ‘life force bursting out of the body’. So the Yaselan people at that time would remove all their clothes, play music, sing and dance wildly in the forest, and roam the mountains until sunset. All animals encountered, regardless of age and species, will be hunted and eaten raw on the spot.”

“After sunset, people return to the city to concentrate on comedy and tragedy. That’s why Tragedy Writer is called ‘the Drunk Madman’. Since then, people have thought that the actors and writers of tragedy and comedy must drink alcohol to get the ‘Drinking Deity’s madness’ and ‘inspiration and spirituality’.”

“…Of course, Drinking Deity is not a true deity. It is a primitive belief of Yaselan. However, people worshipping the Drinking Deity can still acquire some transcended power. This is one of the original forms of Idol spells.”

“The Drinking Deity is a typical man-made deity. An idol that does not exist but is believed to exist. Therefore, the mainstream inheritance of the Idol School is the ‘Drinking Deity School’. This is the case in my family, the professor is the same, and even the Tragedy Writer is the same as the Drinking Deity’s origin.”

Picking up the wooden handle of the beer mug, Frederick showed a gentle smile full of emptiness and divinity, “To cultivate divinity, the water I drink since I can speak will always be mixed with wine. This is to ensure the child of divinity will be in the primitive state all the time, away from the turbid world. Of course, that is not a fun experience.”

Even if there were elders, who use Idol Magic to heal, children were pa.s.sing out and dying before seeing actual people.

Frederick was just lucky enough.

Frederick’s biological parents died when he was two years old. The elders of the clan gave him strong alcohol and even magical wine. He was treated as a subject in a controlled experiment with the other children.

Before Frederick became a transcender, the curse in his body was so strong that when he talked to others at close range, he could make mortals drunk.

His luck was that before his body was destroyed by various kinds of magical wine, he was able to open his “Deity’s Eye” and see the thread of his destiny.

Frederick looked at Justice quietly and remained silent.

His pupils were as dark as an abyss, devoid of any human emotion.

In the same way, Frederick could also see the thread of fate in others.

For example, Justice whose fate line was suddenly changed.

Does this have anything to do with the prophetic dream I saw?

What is Gray Professor planning?

Justice wants to save me.

Am I in any danger?

Frederick fell into a long thought.

“OvO?”

“OvO?”

Husky, who lowered his head and concentrated on studying the menu, raised his head and cast puzzled eyes at Frederick.

It seemed Husky didn’t understand what Frederick said.

Or rather, Husky didn’t listen from the very beginning.
