The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 180: “Left Little Finger” Zolgen

After the "video call" with Salvatore ended, Hand of Winter, who had been standing at the door for a while, finally knocked on the door and walked in.

That was a rather thin old man.

He looked tall and thin, like a withered scarecrow or a lanky ghost.

The old man was wearing a light gray gown, and his face was very pale and bloodless. Her snow-white and slender hair is so thin that it is almost transparent, and subtle age spots can be seen on her temples and corners of her eyes.

His pupils were silver-white...as if they were completely shrouded in mist. At first glance, he looks like a blind man with pure white eyes.

The most conspicuous thing about him is not the little finger of his left hand with the ice ring on it, but the scarf around his neck.

The old man was wearing at least seven or eight dark gray woolen scarves. It covers from the nose to the chin and even the shoulders. Except for the silver-gray eyes, the facial features are completely obscured and nothing will be revealed.

"Your Highness, the results of the trial are out."

A low and very light voice sounded from under the scarf: "Can I report to you now?"

"No problem, Uncle Zolgen."

Annan nodded slightly.

There was a hint of respect in his voice.

Although he has completely lost his memory, in fact, it was the Hand of Winter who watched Annan grow up when he was a child - even when Ivan was a child, he watched him grow up.

In the Hand of Winter, the "ring finger" is responsible for handling internal affairs, and the "thumb" is for management.

The "little finger" is called the "unwanted finger", also known as the "hidden finger". What they are responsible for is "work that does not need to be seen"...such as espionage, torture, assassination, perjury and other activities.

Generally speaking, Hands of Winter advance from wizards of the incapacitated school. But the position of the little finger requires an additional profession of stalker.

It is said that before Annan was eight years old, Zolgen intercepted at least ten waves of assassinations against Annan; and before Annan was born, his mother Anya Rasputin would also be protected by Zolgen.

The reason why Annan was assassinated was just because he was separated from Ivan.

At present, the top management of Hand of Winter is not complete - because the power is very powerful, it is better to lack than to overdo it.

This is a new rule that only appeared after the defection of Vladimir the Winter Defender... Before that, the "Ten Fingers" were always full. There are even many alternate positions, which directly leads to fights within the Hand of Winter.

And thanks to the "Winterbreaker" for sounding the alarm.

He reminded Ivan that the real power of the Principality of Winter is not in the hands of those ministers... but in the "ten fingers" of the Hand of Winter.

The right little finger of the previous generation was also a defector. Since then, all his disciples have been purged... Until now, the "Right Little Finger" faction is still managed by Zolgen.

Roughly speaking, the rule of Hand of Winter is "the left hand is inside and the right hand is outside." Just like the left hand is used to block attacks and protect vital points, while the right hand is used to hold a weapon to attack others.

Currently, there are four rings left in the right hand of the Hand of Winter - except for the most important one, the "thumb" as the commander is kept by "Victor" personally designated by Ivan. The other four rings are all empty. Hang, the power is merged into the left hand.

The spies who have been buried abroad before have not been activated will no longer receive any orders and are allowed to live their own daily lives; and those who have begun to transmit intelligence to the Principality of Winter are also ordered to think The method is to lurk again...for example, "Dad" is like this.

And more manpower is used for internal monitoring and management. So in fact, the number of "counter-espionage" personnel in Winter doubled for no reason. Because of the sudden abundance of manpower, all the spies on Noah's side were named and found out one by one, and they were arrested without exception.

They can't send the information back at all.

——This is the real reason why Daliyuan Old Bread was curious about "Dong Dong suddenly shrunk the scope of intelligence." Essentially, it was because of the change in the power of the "Ten Fingers" that the Ten Fingers became six fingers... rather than because of any major changes within Lingdong or any secret information that could not be known to outsiders.

This is the real secret that the Noahs must not know.

"...To sum up the above. I think Yuri Freeze needs to be arrested immediately."

Zolgen’s hands were pressed tightly against his trouser legs, and his unusually slender body stood upright like a slender ghost. He did not read the notes, but very skillfully recited the information obtained from the torture directly to Annan.

To put it simply, this operation was indeed the work of the Northland Alliance. To be precise, it is the private behavior of three of the Northland Alliance - Viscount Peter, Viscount Ostov and Earl Yuri.

They didn't just assassinate Annan.

After comparing it with the previous investigation information of Hand of Winter, Zolgen keenly discovered that Dongfeng received a sum of money with a mysterious whereabouts. On the surface, it was for "purchasing green fire for daily use," but after careful investigation, it was discovered that the money flowed to a town in the underground world called "Saltpeter Ranch."

The ruler of this town, the "Blood Hand Brothers", has an unclear relationship with Nata County of the Kingdom of Noah - a large amount of demon blood produced by the "Mushroom Eaters" gang has only a small amount flowing in. Noah local. The remainder was sold to Saltpeter Ranch.

Afterwards, that batch of demon blood flowed into the Freezing Wind Territory in the Winter North through the relationship between Saltpeter Ranch.

"Yuri Dongfeng was previously prosecuted for researching forbidden rituals. He paid a large amount of compensation and delivered three of his estates to avoid prison. But the previous forbidden rituals were to communicate with ' The dream creature's ritual... In this ritual, the poisonous dust of Hermes needs to be used, so the material 'fallen with a pure heart' is needed.

"Looking back now... those materials should just be the residue after the failure to create demons. They may not have created poisonous dust at all, let alone communicate with dream creatures."

The old man's eyes were cold and emotionless: "Considering that they may have successfully created demons, I think the frost beast troops need to be dispatched to seize them. Anyone related to the forbidden ritual should be arrested."

To dispatch the frost beast troops, permission from "index finger" or above is required. His declaration was actually somewhat overstepping his authority.

And if the action is so big, it may touch the already sensitive nerves of the Northland Alliance.

Annan thought for a moment and asked, "Have you told my father?"

"Grand Duke Ivan instructed me to report to you first on future matters, Your Highness Annan."

Zolgen replied.

"...Don't worry yet."

Annan was silent for a long time, frowning slightly: "You said the assassin's weapon is... venom?"

"It is a standard spell [Venom-Heart Failure]. Once hit, the blade will break and remain in the muscle. At the same time, the blade will cast a "Heart Failure" spell on the person in contact every three seconds."

The old man replied calmly: "This is the technology of the Shaoya family of the United Kingdom."

There was no emotion in his words ~IndoMTL.com~ It was as if Annan's previous reply did not exist - there were no rhetorical questions or follow-up questions.

Like a cold puppet.

"So--investigate from here first."

Annan tapped his index finger on the table and said slowly: "We must know who is involved, so that we can know who our enemies are and what their purpose may be. Only then can we know You know who can be won over and who cannot be trusted."

“We have very few available personnel in the underground city, and it is difficult to go to Saltpeter Ranch to conduct efficient investigations.”

The old man replied without emotion: "But we have three spies in the underground world who have become 'diggers'. But once activated, they may be exposed and lose their rights. Although this is not 100% Yes, but the 'Wise Men' are quite difficult to deal with, and you want to use them as disposable pieces."

"...No, no need either."

Thinking of this, Annan's heart moved slightly.

Speaking of which, Lin Yiyi and the others are at Saltpeter Ranch now.

It seems to allow them to conduct a reverse investigation from the other end...

So the corners of Annan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a winning smile.

The silver-haired boy narrowed his eyes.

He said slowly: "I should be able to get fairly accurate information about this very soon."
