The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 276: Jacob the Hole-Opener

Now Annan can roughly confirm that Jacob and the Far North Brotherhood are indeed not the same people.

If Jacob is malicious towards the Annan regime, he only needs to kidnap and sell Russell. Not only can he exchange for huge benefits, but he can also rule the Winter family - and even inherit the entire Principality of Winter to this day. traditions, all causing devastating damage.

Russell is currently the only mutant frost beast with advanced intelligence that can communicate with words.

Her existence has irreplaceable and extraordinary significance to the Far North Brotherhood, and even to other rebel nobles...or any organization or individual who intends to launch a rebellion.

Being able to speak and understand means being able to communicate—which means being able to intimidate, seduce, brainwash, and negotiate. This means that there is a possibility of being controlled.

...If Maria were to handle this matter, she would probably kill Russell directly to directly cut off this "possibility".

Among the three winters of this generation, she is the most decisive and ruthless in handling affairs - she is the one closest to a "king". If someone didn't have to inherit the Tower of Storms, perhaps Grand Guild Ivan would give her the three-color scepter.

Being able to see into the essence of things and solve the most fundamental problems without mercy... This is a talent similar to Annan, but she lacks some patience and tolerance.

Although Maria has the personal ability to control Russell, she also has the authority to suppress her subordinates. But just because she can do it, it doesn't mean she will do it - as a link between the past and the future at home, she needs to help her eldest brother on the one hand, and take care of the young Annan on the other.

At the same time, she felt the double pressure of her unreliable older brother and her younger brother who showed great talents at a very young age, which shaped Maria's habit of acting cautiously.

She will never leave any weakness to herself.

Even if there is only a slight possibility of the collapse of rule, tradition and authority, she will not let this crisis continue to exist... Once the cub is coaxed, kidnapped or defected on its own, or even just Steal blood, and winter will be doomed to turmoil.

As the saying goes, if the problem cannot be solved, solve the person who raised the problem... If Maria becomes the Grand Duke, she will be the person with authority who can make such a decision immediately.

And if Dmitri is responsible for handling this matter... Annan can be sure that he will definitely be hesitant.

He neither has the heart to deal with Russell directly, nor does he have the ability to control Russell in his own hands - he has not been good at rejecting others since he was very young.

He is a kind, gentle but not so smart person... If it weren't for the incident with his ex-girlfriend, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the idea of ​​using or hurting Russell, the frost beast cub.

Only Annan can turn Russell into his own power.

Only when she was in Annan's hands... was it possible to have her own name.

The name [Russell] is the possibility that belongs only to Annan.

"Woo--Woo--"

Knowing that he had a name, the little milk-white fox dog raised its neck and howled excitedly like a wolf cub.

Look, this child is not much cuter than Doreen...

Anan smiled and lifted her up with one hand again and stuffed her back into her clothes.

"So, Lord Jacob."

Annan lowered his head, not looking at Jacob, but said casually: "I hope you can know that you have just proved that you are not the same as them.

"Are you a Noah, did you indeed accept Count Geraint's well-intentioned order, did you hide the mission itself...even, are you a 'Jacob' .

"Such problems will not disappear after confirming that you are not my enemy for the time being."

"...Then what should I do."

The man with hair like dry grass spread his hands helplessly: "I have said everything I should say, and I have said everything I shouldn't. I have also presented all the evidence that can be produced..."

"Follow me first."

Annan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, what do people call you... [Hole Opener]? Are you good at opening holes?"

"If you need it, I can give it a try."

Jacob shrugged: "Whether it's making holes in people or making holes in walls - I'm equally good at it."

In front of three silver-level extraordinary beings, two "ten fingers" and the Duke of Winter holding a three-color scepter, he, as a pure mortal, did not panic at all.

"That's it, Your Majesty. I can set up a curse - the content is up to you, okay?"

"Okay."

Annan nodded and said without hesitation: "Then you swear this: [I and any individuals or forces affiliated with me will never have any relationship with Annan Lingdong and his immediate family members and subordinates from now on. We will not act as enemies and will not do anything that directly or indirectly harms the interests of Annan Rindong and his immediate family members]."

"...Your Majesty, are you a lawyer? This is the longest curse I have ever heard in my life."

Jacob was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "I really didn't remember it... you'd better write it down."

"That is, the curse cannot be too long."

Annan raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise I will definitely write you a thick contract. For people like you, it will never be superfluous to be more cautious."

After Jacob placed the curse.

The curse turned directly into runes, like a bracelet, and was branded on his right forearm.

After all, he does not have a curse carrier... If a mortal wants to use the power of the curse, he can only use his own body to bear the curse directly.

——The counterspell in this case will be directly fatal if it violates just one.

"...It seems I can't go back to Noah."

Jacob rubbed his wrist.

The curse was directly branded on the skin. The feeling at that moment was like being burned with a branding iron on the skin.

Although the skin was not burned ~IndoMTL.com~ and therefore there would be no persistent burning pain, the pain at that moment still made him feel a lingering sting on his wrist.

He grinned and said: "If the earl sees that I have set up this kind of curse, he will probably kill me directly."

The intelligence officers he sent to other countries turned out to be traitors who loyally served the other party's leaders——

"You may not die."

Annan chuckled and comforted in a low voice: "I have a very good relationship with your Highness Kafni. If Kafni can succeed, maybe we can form an alliance."

"Even if we really form an alliance, Lord Crow will definitely not let me go back..."

Jacob muttered.

He looked at Annan and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, you see - I am just a homeless wild dog. As for the treatment..."

"What winter can give you is definitely not as good as Noah's."

Annan said leisurely: "But I can give you more than Count Geraint."

After he finished speaking, he motioned to Zhuo Ya to take off his gloves.

"I will treat you and give you half an hour to rest and fill your stomach. Then we need you to lead us."

Annan narrowed his eyes: "Since you have been here for a long time...you must know something about the Far North Brotherhood.

"You can arrange the ceremony and teleport us to the back of the group of traitors - a safe and concealed location."
