The Righteous Player(s)

...Is it me again?

Annan was speechless for a while.

He now hopes very much that he can keep a diary or something for himself for a week.

But who writes a diary for serious people?

Is Annan a serious person?

……Obviously not.

But he also knew he didn't have such a habit.

As a result, Annan himself did not know what the former "Annan" did.

I always feel that everything is not like human affairs.

But with a subtle feeling, this is indeed something I can do...

Annan was already a little confused about Vasika's attitude towards herself.

It doesn't seem to be the same to say that there are enmities. The sense of familiarity and closeness between them is not fake.

But if they were friends, the deliberate sense of distance in front of them is always on the face with Vasika, the attitude of smiling but not smiling...and it makes Annan feel a little subtle.

Just in the winter, Annan has been very confused.

Considering that Annan was in Noah, the faceless poet was familiar with himself...

Annan even suspected that perhaps he was already in trouble when traveling the world.

"Do you have any clues?"

Because Vasika's attitude was slightly subtle, but Annan did not further inquire about the [unbalanced beauty] ceremony.

Instead, he turned to look at the three "Assassins" who had fainted, and asked Vasika: "These three people?"

"This kind of assassination that is meaningless, yet seemingly broken... There is no doubt that it is from Beilian."

"North Union?"

"The Northland Six Provinces Union."

Vasika explained: "That is, the six northernmost provinces in Winter.

"The current general trend is that the scope of the Great Enchantment in all regions is gradually shrinking. At first we thought this was the reason why the power of the Righteous God was declining... But according to the latest curse studies two months ago, we can now be sure , This is the power of the gray mist has begun to increase again."

"Gray fog has increased?"

Annan was a little surprised.

He immediately reacted and understood everything: "The results of this research are completely public?"

"Rin Dong doesn't have the kind of redundant scientific research power to do this kind of research. This is the investigation of the religious country, and we can't suppress it. Scholars know it, and the nobles know it..."

Catwoman chuckled, raising her mouth as if she was laughing at something.

The light in the room is already dim. Looking at it from Annan's perspective, half of Vasika's face seemed to be sunk into the shadows.

During the Icebreaking War, although those local nobles were sneaking up on black hands, they did not dare to be so blatant.

After all, the old grandmother seemed to be about to wake up.

When human beings awake in a daze, they might stay in bed for a while; and for a righteous **** who is also a dragon, no one can guarantee how long this period of confusion will last.

It may be a few years later, but it may also be a few minutes later.

But if at this time, there is any new news that makes them no longer tolerate... it is not impossible that they will be cruel to Annan during this period.

The purpose of these local nobles is very simple, so simple that Annan guessed their purpose the moment he saw the assassin——

They hope that young and capable Annan will kill him. Only Dmitri, who is inadequate, is not extraordinary, and has no fertility, is left to inherit the Duchy of Winter. Dmitry didn't have the ability, nor did he have the energy to wrestle with so many people.

In this way, the only descendant of the Winter Clan was Maria.

As long as Maria does not die, the blood will not be completely cut off. As the old grandmother and future pope, Dmitry cannot convert to a cup-bearer to perform the ‘cup-in-the-cup’ ceremony.

And Maria herself is the daughter of the storm, and she may not sacrifice at any time. Therefore, he cannot succeed as the Grand Duke-this will leave hidden dangers in the rule of the principality.

As long as she can marry Maria and give birth to male descendants of the Winter family line... this child will surely be able to inherit the throne of the Grand Duke in the future.

This is also the reason why Annan has been left out, but Ivan is still in no hurry to let him return to China. On the one hand, it is the trust in Annan... On the other hand, after Annan returns to China, it is not necessarily safer than in foreign countries.

After all, Annan is still a young man, and if Ivan is still capable of handling official duties, he cannot immediately succeed him as the Grand Duke.

As long as Annan returns to China, he should immediately succeed to the throne—even if he can't immediately take over the powers of the Grand Duke, he can immediately be protected by the Hand of Winter.

After all, Hand of Winter is a special agency responsible only for the Grand Duke.

Even the first heir of the Grand Duke has no right to transfer. This is not just a matter of ritual and rules...Before the Grand Duke handed over the three-color scepter to Annan, the person that Winter's Hand had to obey and protect was still Ivan.

In this way, they can secretly go against Annan's wishes or be against him.

Even if Annan was willing to trust them, Ivan could not.

After all, there is a precedent for the adversary.

Must be vigilant enough.

Winter's Hand is not the golem army that is absolutely impossible to betray~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They are the extension of the cursing power of "Winter Heart". All they are loyal to is the Grand Duke himself...or the one who holds the tricolor scepter among the holders of "Winter Heart", not the Principality of Winter.

This is also the reason why the Winter Advers can betray the Principality of Winter.

Even though his behavior would harm the interests of the Principality, it did not harm the Grand Duke himself. Therefore, he will not trigger an anti-curse.

And he ran away too fast, and Ivan did not have time to give him an order... Otherwise, it would be okay to let him confess all the conspiracy or let him commit suicide on the spot.

Winter's Hand cannot defy the orders of the holders of the tricolor scepter, cannot perform "harmful actions" against them, nor can he lie to them.

——Even if the winter adversary advances to the golden rank, this curse will remain in his soul, and it will never be eradicated.

But if it's not the grand duke...

The only responsibility they had to complete was the "command" Ivan gave them. If they have different intentions, they can easily circumvent the rules of curse.

This is the main significance of the successor.

And without the protection of Winter's Hand, how much self-protection ability can Annan, who is a minor, have?

Thinking of this, the local nobles directly dispatched powerful assassins with the intention of killing Annan directly before he succeeded.

That's right.

A silver-tier destroyer who can give his life is already a very powerful assassin for them.

It's just a pity.

Their intelligence has fallen behind a lot.

——They thought that Annan was the great ritualist six months ago.

Brother, your news is too far behind, right?

I'm almost reaching gold, and you thought I was a chicken who didn't even reach the bronze...
