The Righteous Player(s)

Annan has fully understood it.

　　 If the sinking of the Yaselan Empire is directly related to the loss of control of one or more great-level curses... Then the breaking of the Great Enchantment and the subsequent collapse of the Emperor can also be said to pass.

　　 But when explaining the principle of the sinking of the empire, another problem also arises...

　　 "Are we the Winter Clan guarding the'Three Sirens' all the time?"

　　Annan asked Ivan.

　　 was beyond his expectation.

Ivan shook his head: "Our Winter Clan is indeed a family with a very long history. But we did not exist from the very beginning...At least at the end of the Third Age, we began to become great things. The caretaker.

　　 "Before us, the one responsible for guarding the great things was the ‘frost language’ clan closer to the old grandmother. Do you know the ‘barber’ of Razor Hill? He is a member of the frost language clan."

　　 Late Tertiary?

　　Annan frowned and asked, "Is it the time when the elves stopped using the spell?"

　　 "It is after the end of the era of curse power. At least after the end of the curse power near Frostwhisper Province."

　　 To this question, Ivan replied very positively: "Because [Winter's Blood] has never been contaminated by the curse, it has been like this since a thousand years ago until now.

"We have been the guards of the'Sirens of the Three' since the age of the empire... In fact, at the moment when the imperial capital collapsed, the Siren of the Three was still the scepter of the Great Duke of Winter and was held by that generation The hands of Grand Duke Dong."

　　 "Then, besides me, are there any Winter Clan who reversed the heart of Winter?"

　　 "Absolutely not."

Ivan shook his head and replied in detail: "You should also understand now. Heart of Winter has two functions. One is that grandmother wants to make the same race in this way, and the other is for use-at least to guard this one. A curse. So her old man will not let Winter's Heart be easily interfered by others.

　　"Only powers of the same level can interfere with the'Heart of Winter'. Therefore, the only two ladies who engraved the reversal inscription. However, the relationship between the grandmother and them is alienated, and it is neither hostile nor friendly.

"So just relying on grandmother's face is not enough for them to directly help; and they will not deliberately destroy her heart of winter in order to oppose grandmother-you are the only special case, but this is also because of the'Book of Crane' Relationship, not because you are'frosty'.

"To take a step back, it is not easy to find those two ladies. That is the realm of mystery and darkness. If they don’t want to see someone themselves, they will not be able to reach the'Land of No Light.' '."

　　 "In other words," Annan said solemnly, "The [Tyrant] posture has not been used at all, right?"

　　 "That's right."

Ivan affirmed: "The history of Frost Language is too long. I don't know how the dragons guarded this great-level curse. But at least in the history of Winter, no one of us has ever accepted it. [ Tyrant]’s power. Because Winter’s Heart sealed our choice.

　　 "——You are the first [tyrant]."

　　 "...Don't say that, it's a bit awkward."

　　Annan grinned.

　　 For some reason, I always feel that Ivan’s praise is a bit awkward...like a curse.

　　 "That means..."

　　 He muttered in a low voice.

　　Considering from this point, [Crazy Blood]’s three "other gods" have not been activated yet. And Heart of Winter was not allowed to use the power of a tyrant from the "beginning of design"...

　　 Is this... not a coincidence?

　　Because the heart of winter is really the ability given by the old grandmother-in the public's understanding, the lack of positive emotion is to restrain the frost beast.

　　 But Annan now knows that this is a lie.

　　Because the "Winter Heart" he held had been reversed, but when he contacted the wolf girl, he realized that he could still tame the frost beast.

　　 This means that the ability to tame the Frost Beast is related to his bloodline itself, not to his emotional state.

　　 And the old grandmother herself has a preference for her offspring-it can even be said to be partial. Outstanding descendants will not even let them die. In other words, they will accompany themselves after death.

　　——Then the old grandmother didn’t know that after the Heart of Winter blocked the positive emotions, it would greatly increase the probability of death?

　　 The old grandmother must have known it.

　　 But even so, the old grandmother still chooses this way...

　　 That is to say, she is conscious and allows her offspring to use the power of [Funjun].

　　 But its ability as a "tyrant" has been handed down-at least Ivan still knows it. It can't be prepared for Annan who doesn't know how many years later, right?

That's impossible.

　　——So, the ability of [Tyrant] should be the last card of Duke Winter.

　　 The meaning of the old grandmother is probably that the scepter is allowed to be turned upside down only if it is unable to cope with the current situation. But so far, this ability has not been used by anyone...

　　 "What is the ability of [Fun Jun]?"

　　 Annan asked, "Just tell me the ability, not to mention curse."

　　 Ivan said in a deep voice: "I wanted to tell you too. Your offspring may not have the reversal of the heart of winter, and may return to our destiny track.

　　 "Of the three abilities of [Fun Jun], the most useful is... Among the offspring of the holder, at least one will be better than the holder. This is the foundation for the Winter Family to be able to pass on for a thousand years.

　　"One of the other two abilities is to allow the holder to control all relatives within three generations...including parents, grandparents, uncles and nephews, children, great-grandchildren...and Winter's Hand.

"In fact, this is how we control the Hand of Winter. The way the'Hand of Winter' curse is obtained is to inject the blood of Winter that has been diluted and harmlessly treated. Anyone who tries to steal the blood of Winter , Will eventually be controlled by us."

Ivan’s face is calm: "As long as the command is issued while holding the scepter and the other party successfully receives it, this command must be executed. It is like receiving an equivalent edict spell—even if the other party is ordered to commit suicide. Must be executed immediately.

"This is also the power of [traditional]...it belongs to the authority of the'Patriarch', and there are similar effects in the traditional magic arts. So I suspected that the birth of this scepter might be directly related to the grandmother, but I have no evidence."

　　 "What about the third ability?"

　　 "The third ability is the most meaningless... the curse side of it is more present."

Ivan was silent for a moment, and replied: "That is the curse named [The Destiny of Invincibility]. In this life, whatever you want most in this life, you are destined to be unable to get... as compensation, it's just'interests'. Things in this category can always be completed beyond expectations."

"……what?"

　　Annan was taken aback.

　　 But Ivan is obviously a very outstanding Duke, even the most outstanding Duke in the history of Winter.

　　 Could it be...

　　 Annan couldn't help asking: "Then father, what do you want most...?"

　　 "...My grandfather died when I was very young. He is exhausted."

　　 Ivan did not answer directly, but after being silent for a long time, he whispered: "My aunt dedicated her life to the Tower of Storms. My uncle was removed from the family as a traitor.

　　 "My father is a delicate and weak person. He was born in the harvest year, so soon after the winter year came, he became irritable and weeped day by day.

"My closest brother and I were kidnapped, and he was eventually killed by rescuers. My eldest brother could not bear the pressure and quarreled with his father. When he was sixteen years old, he chose to run away from home and flee. Underground, I haven't seen him for almost 30 years.

　　 "After my brother died and my brother ran away from home, my father was overwhelmed and committed suicide.

　　 "...so I don't want to be a big duke at all."

　　The most outstanding and wise Duke in history, lamenting in such a low voice~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I just hope that my family can live safely and happily, that's all. I don't know why it was me who was trained as the next generation of Grand Duke...until I took it. Until I took over this authority and inherited this curse. "

　　 Grand Duke Ivan has a rare sarcasm smile on his face.

　　 That is not mocking others, but mocking oneself.

　　He is mocking his own destiny.

　　"——It wasn't until the night before my father committed suicide, the day I took the curse, that I finally understood everything. I was destined to kill my family...This is my destiny.

"Anya's talents as a Grand Duke are indeed much better than me. Because I don't want to be this **** Winter Grand Duke... After Anya was cursed and killed by this curse, I wanted to inherit her will, just precisely Triggered the'power' of this authority."

　　 I don’t want this power.

　　 I would rather my love, my family be able to live in peace and health.

　　 "So... I'm sorry, Annan."

　　 Ivan was expressionless, narrating like an ice sculpture: "I know, I shouldn't give you this burden. You are still very young... much younger than I was when I was, and I know the pressure you are under.

　　"But perhaps all the misfortunes you have encountered so far and all the sufferings you will suffer in the future are also my destiny for you...

　　"This scepter is a terrible birthday gift. So—

"I am sorry."
