"Metaphysics?" Sean was a little confused. Does Azeroth also pay attention to "metaphysics"?
Anduin nodded seriously:
"That's right! According to my judgment, the existence of adventurers does have a metaphysical component."
Seeing Sean's disbelief, Anduin continued to explain:
"Although the adventurers are weak and cannot play a decisive role in the war situation. But the strange thing is that no matter how powerful the existence is, it will inevitably end in destruction as long as it stands on the opposite side of them.
The Lich King, Deathwing, and even the powerful ancient god N'Zoth all fell because they stood on the opposite side of the adventurers. This is the so-called 'metaphysics' I mentioned."
After hearing Anduin's explanation, Sean couldn't help wiping his sweat. It turned out that this was what Anduin was talking about.
Sean knew very well what Anduin said about "the truth behind metaphysics," but there was no way to explain this kind of thing to him. Sean could only echo:
"Then have you found the answer to the so-called 'metaphysics'?"
"No." Anduin shook his head helplessly:
"I have had close contact with adventurers, and they responded to whatever I asked them to do. There was nothing unusual except that they often said things I couldn't understand. It seemed like there was something secretly preventing me from understanding the truth of the matter.
So I can only keep telling myself not to stand on the opposite side of adventurers..."
At this time, Sean's valet Anton suddenly walked into the restaurant, so Anduin interrupted his words.
But looking at Anton in front of him, Anduin was thoughtful.
…
After Anton arrived at the restaurant, he saluted the three of them respectfully: "Sir, Lord Anduin, Lord Windsor..."
Before Anton finished speaking, Anduin suddenly raised his right hand and placed it on the back of Anton's head.
For a moment, Anton froze on the spot and could not move, and the light in his pupils gradually became dull. It was obvious that he was controlled by Anduin using some means.
Seeing the doubtful looks from Sean and Windsor, Anduin explained:
"Sir, Windsor, this is [Thought Stealing]. Just now I felt that this skill suited me very well, so I tried to learn it, and I learned it in less than two minutes."
Sean: "..."
Windsor and Anduin really learned skills faster than the other, but looking back at myself...
Sean suddenly collapsed.
Seeing Sean's broken face, Anduin could roughly guess what Sean was thinking, and comforted him:
"Sir, learning spells is just a matter of suitability. For example, it may take me a whole day to learn the [Resurrection Spell]. It can't be so fast."
Sean's face looked better now and asked: "Then what is the effect of [Thought Stealing]?"
The card description of [Thought Stealing] is to steal two cards. In the real world, you can no longer steal cards!
Anduin's hand flashed with black and white light, and while casting a spell on Anton, he replied:
"The [Thought Stealing] skill can view all the memory fragments of others within 7 days. Based on the memory, we can judge whether he is a spy. After all, people can lie, but memory cannot tell... Wait! No way!"
Anduin's expression suddenly changed, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and at the same time he also canceled the [Thought Stealing] on Anton.
Sean originally wanted to ask Anduin if he had discovered anything, but Sean knew that Anduin would tell him even if he didn't ask. In addition, the manservant Anton returned to normal, so Sean did not speak again.
…
The valet Anton felt as if he had suddenly had a nightmare. Now he suddenly woke up from the nightmare, his brain was still a little groggy, and he just asked blankly:
"Master, what just happened."
Sean looked at Anduin, and Anduin glanced at Anton, then shook his head.
So Sean said calmly:
"It was nothing just now. Maybe Anduin didn't control his momentum and accidentally hurt you. Anton, why did you come to see me?"
Only then did Anton think that he had something serious to do, so he rubbed his slightly sore eyebrows with his hands and replied:
"Sir, according to the news from the guards, the large army led by Butler Henry is going very smoothly and will successfully arrive at Hetan Town at noon the day after tomorrow!"
Sean walked forward and patted Anton's shoulder encouragingly:
"Very good, I understand. Anton, let the guard who reported the news have a good rest, and then ask the other guard to ride a horse and tell Henry that he will go to meet them on time at noon the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, sir!"
The valet Anton was flattered when he saw Sean being so friendly all of a sudden. He happily bowed to Sean and left the restaurant.
...
After Anton left, Sean immediately looked at Anduin, who had a serious face and was thinking seriously:
"What did you see just now? Could it be that there is something wrong with Anton?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with An Dong. I didn't find any sign that he was disloyal to you."
Anduin shook his head: "But I found some interesting memory fragments deep in Anton's mind."
Before Sean could speak, Windsor asked curiously: "Anduin, what kind of memory fragment is it?"
Anduin sorted out his thoughts and replied:
"This memory happened the morning before yesterday. At that time, Anton was cleaning up your bedroom, and suddenly a little girl broke into your bedroom..."
Upon hearing this, Sean quickly interrupted:
"Let me guess! I guess this girl is Anna, the boatman's daughter!"
Anduin was immediately shocked:
"How do you know, my lord?"
Sean smiled: "I told you it was just a guess, Anduin, please continue."
Anduin shook his head and continued:
"After Anna entered your room, she immediately took control of Anton and began to search for various things in your room.
But her expression seemed very upset, as if she didn’t find what she was looking for.”
"It's normal." Sean smiled: "The important information I compiled was all written in Chinese characters, and they couldn't understand it. It's normal that they didn't find what they needed."
"What are 'Chinese characters'?" Windsor suddenly interrupted.
"Oh, Chinese characters are a language that only I understand." Sean quickly changed the subject: "Anduin, please continue talking."
Anduin spread his hands: "There is nothing after that. Although Anton was controlled and completely forgot about the incident, his memory fragments are still retained in the depths of his mind, so I saw this scene...
Unexpectedly, Anna is actually a spy. The most important thing is that I didn't realize this before!"
