The Righteous Player(s)

After the old grandmother awakened, Rin Dong's political situation, which was still somewhat turbulent, also returned to stability in an instant.

As for the Melvin family, which disappeared out of thin air, they seem to have been forgotten by people.

For a full week after they disappeared, no one asked a word, and no one even asked about it.

Of course, it is impossible for them to know the truth about the gods on earth, but they probably all know what happened.

It has not been a year or two since the Melvin family tried to rebel. Except for Rasputin, almost every family in the Duchy of Winter has more or less thoughts about the position of the Grand Duke.

Although the person with the tricolor scepter can only have the surname "Rin Dong", according to the tradition of the Rin Dong, the Rin Dong family does not allow inter-ethnic marriages. Because this means an increase in the mortality rate and the consolidation of talents.

However, regardless of men and women, the other half of Winter's blood cannot withstand the destructive power of the extremely cold dragon's blood on the internal organs-exchanging body fluids under emotional agitation is basically equivalent to the mucous membrane absorbing the diluted activated dragon blood.

This is actually the same as the ritual when the Winter Family was transformed into the Dragon Blood Family.

If it can survive, the body will be transformed into a real Frostscale Dragon. But in most cases, it can't survive.

This means that even if the Winter family is very fertile, each time having **** will greatly shorten the life span and weaken the opponent's physique.

This is why in the Winter family, women are more likely to leave offspring-because after being damaged, even with the treatment and protection of rituals and magic arts, it is easy to abort during pregnancy.

This is also the reason why the Northland Alliance has always attacked Annan, but never ignored Dmitry and Maria. Because Dmitry was cursed by the rotten man, it is no longer a secret to lose fertility... Then as long as Annan dies, only Maria will be left behind.

——And the offspring she left behind must be the next generation of Duke Winter.

At the same time, Maria is also the daughter of the storm, and she does not necessarily have to devote herself to the tower of the storm at any time...she will not live too long, and the young archduke may inherit the tricolor scepter at the same age as Annan.

Then, as the only relative of the Grand Duke, they are very likely to become the family that secretly controls the Principality of Winter. Become a family with a higher status than Rasputin-in the case of the Winter Family's extremely sparse population, they are undoubtedly the first family.

This is a highly feasible scheme with a very low turnover rate. And it has nothing to do with the strength and background of the family, as long as there are children in the family that can be seen by Maria.

——The premise is that they can really kill Annan.

But obviously, they dare not do it. Because this semi-public plan can only be regarded as an addition to them, it is natural to have it, and it is not necessary to force it. Except for the Northland Alliance, the living environment of the other families is far from the level that "the Grand Duke must be assassinated."

But they can watch from the side.

Therefore, almost all families know about the plans of the Northland Alliance and the Melvin family.

They are all watching from the side, and they still support the Winter Family, but they are not helping each other-but if Annan is really killed, they will all fall back to the Winter Family. .

And if any family can't help but want to do it and cross the "wait-and-see line", they don't mind selling their colleagues and reporting it to Duke Annan.

They do not support Melvin and the Northland Alliance, nor are they truly loyal to the tricolor scepter—their only goal of loyalty is themselves.

It can be said that everyone has their own selfishness. This is also very normal.

It can even be said that the Rasputin family is willing to always stand with the Winter family, only because Annan and Maria’s mothers are from the Rasputin family... They are Annan’s natural allies, because they are The biggest beneficiary at present.

Although they did have bad intentions before, Annan did not intend to let them "get guilty for thinking"——

After the old grandmother woke up, these thoughts of them had already been disillusioned.

And more importantly, after the arrival of the spring, as the winter resources become rich in an instant, the economy is bound to recover rapidly. They no longer need anxious infighting to fight each other for that little bit of benefit.

In this case, no one dared to pursue matters concerning the Melvin family.

After all, the old grandmother woke up on the day the Melvin family disappeared. If this is a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.

The ghost knew if the Melvin family had done something particularly taboo and angered the old grandmother-the first thing that caused her to wake up, the Melvin family was razed to the ground.

Asking questions at this time will inevitably make her old man think that she is an accomplice of the Melvin family.

After all, what I want to say, in fact, the Winter Nobles can say that every house is not clean...There are no clean nobles in this era. If you really want to talk about scrutiny, no one can withstand scrutiny.

And if there is really no black history to be found, it will be an even worse sign-let alone aristocracy, even the saints can't have everyone in the family grow up in the legal provisions. If this is the case, there are only two possibilities.

Either they used some method to erase the relevant records and evidence; or for a certain purpose, they specifically restricted the whole family to be cautious in their words and deeds, and to keep their reviews clean and flawless.

Either way is very dangerous.

The Principality of Winter Winter is actually a special case-because only the Winter Family is inherited by the blood heir appointed by the Righteous God. In this way, Zheng Shen bypassed the chronology ceremony and directly intervened in the rule of mundane society.

Even if Annan really wants to make a big liquidation and pull out the entire Winter Nobles and their interest groups, he will not encounter any resistance. But that will only cause greater confusion.

The current three-dimensional monitoring systems of the church, Winter's Hand, and Grandma are still operating normally. At the time when the economy of the Principality of Winter was just beginning to recover, the primary contradiction that the Principality of Winter needed to resolve was to solve the problem of hungry residents and lack of resources.

What Annan did was to replace all the senior and important nodes of Hand of Winter with his own people, so as to ensure that Hand of Winter would not be bribed-after all, Annan could share any information about the players.

As for other aspects, since he doesn't understand, he won't move. Just as he delegated power to Dmitry, now he also delegates power to nobles and ministers.

Even if Annan has retrieved the memory of Hei Annan, he actually doesn't understand the people at the bottom of the Principality of Winter-he has never had formal and comprehensive contact; he actually does not understand the various rules and traditions of the Principality of Winter , Customs... After all, he is the youngest son in the Winter family, and he is still underage.

In any case, Annan is the one who has been "humped" and "protected":

You know, Annan has not touched real wine in the Principality of Winter, where he is addicted to alcohol!

Regardless of men and women, human beings or werewolves, or even regardless of status-whether it is a farmer, a military family, a young noble heir, even Annan's sister Maria has long been accustomed to drinking at this age.

Perhaps it was because Annan was carrying too heavy a destiny.

From the very beginning, he was very far away from the word "mundane". And after Annan's sublimation, he will be farther away...

That being the case... What Annan can do is not to give other people's ideas indiscriminately, and not to point fingers at others' lives.

Today, Annan, as the grand prince with the old grandmother's bonus, can cause almost anyone to lose his life with just one sentence and one gesture without having to pay any price.

After Annan's sublimation, the "authority" he holds will be further enhanced. How can the power of a mortal prince be compared with the mighty power of the gods?

If he is now accustomed to overpowering others and taking away others' lives, beliefs, desires or other things at will, then after he becomes a god, he will become the kind of existence Annan once hated the most.

—— Become his "mirrors" kind of existence.

Yes.

Although Annan has not made a very clear "what existence I must become" so far. His desires are inherently weak, and his life goal is not clear... But all he knows is "I definitely don't want to be someone."

After being sublimated with the heart of justice in the future, Annan will also involve the authority of "justice", and his management scope will also radiate to the entire world. When the crown block is officially launched and the rapid tour of Ten Thousand Worlds begins, he may even affect other worlds.

This power is not to make Annan more noble than others, nor is it to allow Annan to kill anyone or manage anything willfully, or to let himself run wild forever-

It's different from Annan's mirrors.

His power, his authority, his apostles... will always be and must exist for the purpose of "making others happier."

Annan is confident that this is the path that will never let the past self deny and the future self regrets——

Although the sacred bones could not restrain Annan, with the change of identity, Annan began to restrain himself. He began to pay close attention to his every move... Reflecting on whether his recent actions were based on justice, rationality, or just made arbitrary decisions just because of emotions and personal likes and dislikes.

Just like this "tyrant", this "madman", when he was awake, he hung many chains and shackles on his body. He restrains himself with his rationality and morals, just as he did before he traveled.

——But unlike Annan, who was always melancholy and confused at that time.

Annan today does not think this is a mistake——

It is different from the path of most gods: Annan does not intend to abandon his humanity, but only focuses on matters related to his field.

He will hold onto his humanity tightly.

Having human nature means that he will be angry, sad, and sympathetic. He will make mistakes, and he will be on a whim.

He will be a person who will make mistakes, not a God who will never do things wrong.

However, this flexible and variable path...may be more suitable for "justice" and "hope."

But at the same time, Annan will also self-supervise this free humanity from another perspective, so as not to make wrong decisions and cause unnecessary harm to others.

——In order not to let the glory belonging to the crane fall, Annan has already made up his mind and will do his best for this.

Humanity and divinity, freedom and correctness... He wants it all.

After clarifying his own path.

Annan seemed to feel that some film was broken by him——

He felt the call of the crane very clearly.

As long as Annan holds the sublimation ceremony now, he can complete the ascension immediately.

...But not.

Annan still has a lot to do.

For example, the rotten man, for example...

"……child?"

Annan was a little confused: "But I'm still a child."

The old grandmother confirmed without hesitation: "You have to know, Annan-after you have completed the sublimation, you will lose the material body. And you are not like me, Ananke and Cybele, you have.' The goddess of the breeding field.

"In that case, you will never have children again."

"...Maria should be too."

Faced with the urge to marry as soon as the old grandmother woke up, Annan argued with a guilty conscience: "Isn't she married? And when I kill the rotten husband, Dmitry's sterilization will naturally change. All right."

With the help of the old grandmother, Maria has replaced the heart of winter that Annan gave her.

Putting on her brother's heart is like putting on a brother's kaleidoscope to write a wheel-Maria immediately broke a certain bondage.

As Annan first guessed, in "An Ode to Storm and Heart", heart and storm are equally important.

The previous Maria lacked half of human emotions. She could not perceive the existence of "heart".

Maria is now able to smile from the bottom of her heart...

The book of truth that belongs to her finally appeared at this moment.

I don’t know that the daughter of the storm, who has been passed on for several generations, will eventually inherit the mantle of the “eldest daughter of the storm”, pick up the relics of her predecessors, and continue on the road of truth.

Facts have proved that the path of the "Eldest Storm" and her understanding of the truth at the time were indeed wrong.

Maria, who shows the broken chapters of truth in the correct way, can hear the drums clearly just by walking. When she smiles, she winds up the storm, and when she gets upright, thunder will sound. Even disasters such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes can be rolled up or calmed down as she pleases.

This is not the truth about "wind" in the first place.

It’s the truth about natural disasters, disasters, and the “heart” that overcomes all of them——

Just like the truth of "betrayal".

Compared with the betrayal itself, the atonement after betrayal is the essence of truth. The storm can't protect anything, it's just a phenomenon.

It's better to say...

It is precisely because of the death of the eldest daughter of the storm that the tower of the storm has become the guardian in the face of natural disasters-and this allows Maria to understand the meaning of this truth.

From this perspective, she is indeed the true heir to the eldest daughter of the storm.

With the accumulation of these centuries and generations, perhaps Maria’s sublimation ceremony will be earlier than Annan.

"Dmitry's children will be used to inherit the Duchy of Winter. It has nothing to do with you."

But in the face of Annan's sophistry, the old grandmother was unmoved: "As for Maria-who in this world can be worthy of Maria?

"That child is so good...The only thing she loves in her heart is her relatives. As'He', what he loves extends to the entire world. Mary will be the most orthodox god. She is a simple guardian, the living pillar of this world. She is different from you.

"You are someone who is in love, Annan. Don't let yourself regret it."

"...I can't actually confirm whether it is love or not."

Annan was silent for a while, and answered honestly: "And I am not sure whether she has true love for me-not for idols, for gods, for elders, for teachers, but for love between partners. Love.

"Without uncertainty about this relationship, I don't think it would be a good thing to have an heir."

"So, have you asked her?"

The old grandmother asked rhetorically.

Annan was silent.

The stern grandmother, who was rarely stern, asked: "You have questions in your heart, but don't ask. You want the child to realize what you are thinking, and then Pidianpidian rushes over to tell you everything she thinks-- Not only have to meet your requirements, but on this basis, you have to convince you to believe her?

"Do you think so, Annan?"

"……of course not."

"Then why are you hesitating, what are you holding back? Are you in a position that is not commensurate with her, or do you feel that you are not worthy of her? Or is it that you actually look down on her?

"You know, that child is the queen. She is still young now, but she must also have her own descendants in the future-in order to continue the kingdom's existence. Can you accept her to have children with others?"

The old grandmother said seriously: "Go confess, Annan. Don't let yourself regret it.

"You haven't even confessed it once. Are you waiting for the little queen to give up your dignity and give her a hug? Or is your love for her far less than the level that can make you confess your face? "

"...I do like her. I just--"

The young Grand Duke, the future god, was hesitant at this time.

Only at this time, Annan will be like a real child.

He could roughly guess the answer from Kafni, but he was still anxious, nervous, and hesitant about it.

...Speaking of which, isn't Annan supposed to have memories of past lives?

Doesn't this kid have anyone he likes in his previous life?

That would be...

This loving and stern grandmother sighed and decided to push another hand:

"Listen well, Annan-don't come back right away after you have killed the rotten man.

"You go directly to Noah, and tell her everything you worry about, everything you want to know, from cause to effect, the original, the original and upright ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ tell her all your feelings for her, and then Waiting for her response.

"This naive and confused feeling can be regarded as the most precious among the many feelings in life.

"A lot of people's feelings are in this hazy era, before they can be clarified, before they start, and they leave a lifetime of regret.

"--You must face it, Annan. Don't escape.

"If you have to escape in front of'love', how do you face worms? How do you claim that you know love and know love?"

"……good."

Annan nodded lightly, and responded firmly, "I understand.

"Thank you, grandma."

The old grandmother didn't respond, she just picked up Annan, shook his body, and patted him on the back. The harshness on her face gradually turned into doting.
