The Righteous Player(s)

They did not stay on the subway for long.

After all, it was only moving in the same city-Annan was taken off the subway by his teacher after only sitting for more than 20 minutes.

From the subway station here, you are already at the gate of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

This really surprised Annan...

Grand Duke Winter Winter... would actually allow the subway station to open one of the platforms so openly and upright in front of his house?

Isn't he too noisy? With so many people coming in and out from the subway station, even if there is still some distance from the gate of the Grand Duke's Mansion, it is already very noisy.

Moreover, safety cannot be guaranteed when people come and go like this...

Annan noticed that the residence of the Grand Duke of Winter was much smaller than Noah's Palace.

The entire Grand Ducal Mansion looked like a square rectangle. From the outside, it is only about the width of a street, and there are only about forty or fifty windows on each floor.

The height is only three floors, and there is a fourth floor in the innermost place, forming a white spire.

There are many circular columns arranged outside, and there is a column about three or four windows apart, and each column rotates the wall about five degrees. Therefore, the overall shape is a flat arc that bulges outward.

Annan followed the teacher to a narrow door on the right.

The old man stretched out his right hand and tapped the heavy black iron door lightly with the cold ring.

With a muffled noise, the narrow metal door, which was only two people wide, automatically opened inward.

"In."

The old man replied briefly, and then walked in with Annan.

Annan followed the old man closely—the old man did not see any movement, but after she passed by, the door closed again automatically.

...Absolutely, automatic doors are okay.

Annan murmured in his heart.

After passing through a narrow corridor with embossed murals on the walls and ceiling and metal soldier statues on both sides, Annan followed the old man out of the front side door.

This is a small garden.

Annan could see that there was a small fountain in the middle. A white trace extends from the fountain to the east, west, south, and north, dividing the ground into four rectangles.

It's quite wide here, roughly like an ordinary-sized city square. It looks a lot bigger than the outside... and its four sides add up, and there are even ten doors, which is not a side door.

The innermost building should be the residence of the Duke of Winter.

Where is the old grandmother sleeping?

Is it on the back of that building?

Or is it underground?

Annan remembered that when the old grandmother was hibernating, she slept like a dragon... But the residence of Duke Winter was too small. He even wondered if he could squeeze a dragon in.

That is, it is a little bigger than the Viscount Mansion in Roseburg—just a little bit, and it still counts the office space.

Of course, Annan also understands Grand Duke Winter...After all, the natural conditions of Winter Winter are different from those of Noah.

The cities of the Duchy of Winter were built on the basis of constant temperature barriers. The area that can be lived in is not large. If the Grand Duke of Winter's family occupies too much area, the number of civilians that can be accommodated will be even smaller.

In order to enable more people to survive.

Even the residences of the nobles were very narrow.

Annan can even see the desk inside from outside the window—obviously, even in the Grand Ducal Palace, the three-sided buildings outside are obviously common to government office buildings.

Only the four-story, one-street-long area really allowed the Grand Duke of Winter to live in. And this is probably the only residence of the Winter Family...

It now appears that the "Hands of Winter" may also live here.

For the ruler's family, this is too narrow. The residence of the Grand Duke was so narrow that it was even worse than the Viscount.

Travelers from other countries can't help but compare their own country's palaces with them, and feel proud and think that their country is bigger than the Principality of Winter.

But the people of Winter are not ashamed of it—on the contrary, they are proud of it.

Because they have leaders who truly love the people like children.

This is the most proud thing.

"—Stand up, Annan."

At this moment, Annan suddenly heard someone calling his name.

She reflexively looked over there.

They found that there were two people standing there.

One of them was Dmitry Annan had met in "Nightmare: The Great Hunt"... and the other was the young Annan.

He looks very similar to Maria, except that his hair is very short, only reaching the shoulders. And Maria's hair fell down to her waist... Other than that, they were almost the same.

In their hands, one of them was holding an edged sword—yes, it was not a wooden sword or a training sword, but a metal sword that had been edged and could be used in actual combat. The only difference is that Annan holds the sword in both hands, while Dmitry only holds the sword in his right hand and sticks his left hand in his pocket.

The young Annan coughed softly a couple of times, stared at Dmitry closely, and got up from the ground neatly.

"Come again!"

"Child Annan" did not look back at her, but made a cold voice.

That voice made Annan stupefied for a moment... He was vague, and even thought it was Maria in "Nightmare: White Tower".

After all, Annan's own voice is different from the voice when he hears others.

In the next moment, what surprised Annan was that--

I saw a burst of crystal cold light shining from the tip of Dmitry's sword.

As the blades flowed, there was a visible frost mark in the air. The traces of crystal color dragged in the air, creating elegant traces.

——That is Frost Swordsmanship!

Annan recognized it instantly.

It is completely different from the Frost Swordsmanship used by Annan himself——

Dmitry's steps are like fencing, moving back and forth rhythmically.

The blade of the young Annan was quickly stained with the pale white traces of Frost Swordsmanship... but that was only LV1, and only the shallow frost traces that were barely visible to the naked eye were visible.

When he was young, Annan used a huge sword, spinning the long sword on his head like a helicopter, while lowering his body and rushing forward calmly.

This is the [guard swordsmanship] that Annan is good at!

But Dmitry's steps flickered like a phantom before Annan's eyes.

As he took a step back, he pointed out his long sword and pointed it on the young Annan's sword.

Frost Mark glued the two swords together. While retreating, Dmitry easily broke the balance of Annan’s steps, making Annan unable to help but fall forward, and the long sword that was originally guarding his head was stuck. , To his waist.

And then, Dmitry stepped forward with his backhand and pointed the shimmering blade at the neck of the young Annan!

——This is absolutely inevitable!

When he was young, Annan was in an unbalanced state, even as if he took the initiative to meet him...How could he avoid this blow?

At this moment, Annan took a step forward subconsciously.

It's not that I want to "save myself."

Just subconsciously, I don’t want to see a child dying during training...

But her shoulder was held by the old man.

"...?"

Not waiting for Annan's inquiry.

He saw the baby Annan as a cunning wolf, and then crouched down instantly with unbalanced strength and stood on his feet. At the same time he separated a hand and patted Dmitry's inner right wrist from the bottom up.

The mysterious technique of pressing the weight of the body together ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ made Dmitri's sword grip a little loose.

At the same time, when he was young, Annan suddenly turned the whole person around in a circle-not so much cutting, as throwing.

With a blow full of spiral strength, Annan's sword body collided with Dmitry's sword body, and the sword in Dmitry's hand was instantly knocked out!

——This is [Disarm]!

Annan realized immediately.

This is one of the initial skills that Annan has mastered.

But for Annan, "disarming" is just the technique of using cleverness to force the opponent to release the weapon when the opponent reveals a flaw... it is completely impossible to use such a fancy.

...Absolutely!

In my childhood form, is my combat experience so rich?

But just when Annan thought that "he" was going to win.

I saw Dmitri suddenly step forward sideways.

Frost marks spread silently to the ground from under Dmitry's feet. And his slender legs plunged into the knee socket of Annan's right leg, hooked Annan and staggered forward, just stepping on the ice.

Just a side kick that was extremely light and didn't even seem to forcefully took the young Annan with a long sword into the air-Annan was directly stuck to the knee socket by Dmitry's leg, and the whole person was off the ground. More than half a meter.

Then the young Annan fell to the ground very embarrassed.

The frost marks on the ground were once again retracted to Dmitry's feet.

He lightly kicked his blade and held it in his hand again.

"Stand up, Annan."

He spoke again.

When he was young, Annan took two breaths, and got up again.

Zhen Annan next to him looked silly.

No wonder Annan actually fell to the ground when competing in swordsmanship...

——Can the Rin Dong family be able to fight like this?
