The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 160: Lily Rasputin’s ring

"——Rasputin will never reveal secrets."

This is the family motto of the Rasputin family.

And that's what they did.

This ancient family with elven blood, which has existed since the Third Age, has never had any member take the initiative to reveal any secrets.

Not only the curses of others and the secrets between gods... but even any joke of "I need you to keep this a secret" between friends will be firmly remembered by them. , never forget, never reveal secrets.

It is not so much a family motto as a curse flowing in the blood.

But it is precisely because of their loyalty to this oath.

In the Principality of Winter alone, the Rasputins control more than one-fifth of the curses of extraordinary beings... When the extraordinary beings cannot find a trustworthy "secret keeper", they will Prioritize finding Rasputin. There are even foreign extraordinary beings who make a special trip to the Principality of Winter just to have Rasputin keep their secrets.

Keeping the secret continued until either of the two died.

As a price for keeping the secret, Rasputin will ask for an additional "confirmed correct" secret as a reward.

This directly led to Rasputin becoming the most powerful ritualist family in the Principality of Winter.

Every Rasputin will store the secrets he holds and needs to tell others in his secret ring before his death. After Rasputin's death, as long as the other party's password is obtained, the secrets can be extracted.

As for the password of this ring, even the holder himself does not know it - the three elders of the Rasputin family each hold a password table. According to their date of birth, male and female, and which child they are in the family, a password can be obtained from the table.

Putting the three passwords together can unlock their secret ring.

"I have confirmed it, Annan. The ring you are holding is actually a secret ring of Rasputin."

Grand Duke Ivan said to Annan.

"...Ring?"

Annan was stunned for a moment: "What ring?"

"This is the relic left by Don Juan Geraint's mother. It should be with you now."

Ivan reminded.

But his words made Annan a little confused.

He frowned and thought for a while: "Don Juan Geraint's mother...should be a member of the Melvin family, right?"

"That's how it should be. Or that's what we all think."

Ivan shook his head: "But, that is indeed the ring of the Rasputin family. You should understand what this means."

"...an exchange of identities?"

Annan murmured: "But I remember the surname Rasputin..."

"Yes, it is the family of your mother Anya Rasputin. And the owner of this ring is Anya's biological sister... Lily Rasputin who suddenly disappeared that year."

Grand Duke Ivan said slowly.

"Then who was supposed to marry into the Geraint family?"

"This is Euphemia Melvin, the third daughter of the Melvin family."

In other words, she is the sister of Wolf Professor Frederick Melvin and the sister of Eugene Melvin who died in the White Tower.

"... Euphemia is missing too?"

"Of course. But according to what we said before, we all thought she married Noah and the Crow family... Because of the special status of the Crow family, it is understandable that we can't contact her."

Otherwise, we would not have discovered this until now.

Ivan said so.

"Okay, let me think about it..."

The amount of information in this sentence can be said to be quite large.

Annan couldn't help frowning and thinking.

Besides, Ivan was still whispering: "You should also know the significance of the Rasputin family. I have asked someone to get Lily's password... As for what to do with it, you should open it first and take a look. , or give it to the Rasputin family, or give it to the old crow of the Geraint family, it all depends on your own decision.

"...After all, when you come back this time, you will succeed the Grand Duke."

——So, I can no longer make up your mind.

Although Ivan did not say this directly, his eyes said this to Annan.

It was a look that was steady, gentle, and full of hope.

"...I understand."

Annan was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

Unlike the Melvin family, which remains neutral, the Rasputin family is one of the few core families closer to the Archduke of Winter. They also live in Frostwhisper.

In other words, the Rasputin family can be won over. Annan must also take their feelings into consideration...so it is impossible to leave it to the Geraint family.

But why has Lily been so unresponsive for so many years?

Judging from the ring she left for Don Juan, she seemed to have deep feelings for him. And she has no objection to the Geraint family - she even engraved the flying feather mark on the ring.

The Crow Feather is the unique symbol of the Geraint family.

Because of this, Annan thought this was a ring produced by the Geraint family. But until he came to Geraint's house as a guest, he never saw anyone else wearing this kind of ring...

At that time, Annan didn’t think much about it.

In the end, is this actually the secret ring of the Rasputin family?

"...Fortunately, I really brought it with me."

Annan took out the ring with some hesitation.

It was a luxurious silver ring set with sapphires.

The outer ring of the ring is engraved with a feather-like pattern. But if you look closely, there do seem to be subtle runes on the inside.

After getting the information from Ivan, the attributes on the ring have quietly changed:

【Dark Blue Guardian】

[Type: Ring (Purple)/Sealed Item]

[Description: The relic left by Don Juan Geraint’s mother~IndoMTL.com~contains cold magic and curse]

[Description: A ring of sealer secrets, with "Lily Rasputin" engraved on the inner ring in the language of elves]

[Description: This ring has been processed twice using a special process and seems to be somewhat similar to the "Hand of Winter" signet ring]

Seeing this, Annan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the woman with dark blue hair, Winter's Hand.

The transparent ring on the ring finger of her left hand definitely looks very different from this ring.

What are the similarities...

Annan held the ring hesitantly, raised his head and asked Ivan again: "Is it really okay to leave this to me?"

"After all, this is Lily's ring... She has no other relatives, and you and Maria are already her closest relatives. It is legal and reasonable for you to dispose of it."

Ivan seems to know this person named "Lily", his... aunt?

"Where's Euphemia?"

"Melvin and Rasputin are different. I don't intend to leave this matter to their family for investigation."

Ivan replied.

The implication is that this matter must be investigated personally by Annan.

That makes sense.

"...Then, give me the password."

"The password to unlock the seal is - brown calf shoulder fur, stained with three drops of snake tears, wipe the surface when the flame burns the ring until it is slightly hot but not red."

Ivan said, looking at his desk: "Zhuoya has prepared it for you.

"Do you need us to get out of the way?"

The Grand Duke seems to have a vague understanding of the secret.
