The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 291: What is supposed to come has come (five thousand one hundred)

After the old grandmother regained consciousness, the political situation, which was still somewhat volatile in winter, returned to stability in an instant.

As for the Melvin family, which disappeared out of thin air, it seems that they have been forgotten by people.

For a full week after they disappeared, no one asked a word, or even inquired.

Of course, it is impossible for them to know the truth about the God on Earth, but they probably all know what happened.

It has not been a year or two since the Melvin family tried to rebel. Except for Rasputin, almost every family in the Principality of Winter has some idea about the position of Grand Duke.

Although the person who holds the three-color scepter can only be named "Lindong", according to the tradition of Lindong, the Lindong family does not allow intermarriage within the clan. Because this means an increase in the mortality rate and the solidification of talents.

However, regardless of gender, the other half of Winter cannot withstand the destructive power of the extremely cold dragon's blood on the internal organs - exchanging body fluids under emotional agitation is basically equivalent to the mucous membrane absorbing the diluted activated dragon's blood. .

This is actually the same ceremony as when the Winter Family was transformed into the Dragon Blood Family.

If you can survive it, your body will be transformed and you will become a true frost scale dragon. But in most cases it is impossible to survive.

This means that even if the Winter family has a strong reproductive capacity, each time they have sex, their lifespan will be greatly shortened and their physique will be weakened.

This is why in the Winter family, women are more likely to leave offspring - because after their constitution is damaged, even with ritual and magical treatment and protection, it is easy to miscarry during pregnancy.

This is also the reason why the Northland Alliance has been attacking Annan, but never paid attention to Dmitri and Maria. Because Dmitry was cursed by a rotten husband, it is no longer a secret that he has lost his fertility... So as long as Annan dies, the only descendant left behind will be Maria.

——And the descendants she leaves behind must be the next generation of Winter Grand Duke.

At the same time, Maria is the Daughter of the Storm, and she may not necessarily be dedicating herself to the Storm Tower at any time... She will not live too long, and the young Grand Duke may inherit the three-color power at about the same age as Annan. stick.

So, as the only relatives of the Grand Duke, they are very likely to become the family that secretly controls the Principality of Winter. Become a family with a higher status than Rasputin - given the extremely small population of the Winter family, they are undoubtedly the first family.

This is a conspiracy with extremely high feasibility and extremely low rollover rate. And it doesn't matter the family's strength and heritage, as long as there are children in the family who can be favored by Maria.

——The premise is that they can really kill Annan.

But obviously, they didn't dare to take action. Because this semi-public plan can only be regarded as a tack for them. It’s good to have it, but don’t force it if you don’t have it. Except for the Northland Alliance, the living environment of other families is far from the level where "the Grand Duke must be assassinated".

But they can watch from the sidelines.

Therefore, almost all families know about the plans of the Northland Alliance and the Melvin family.

They are all watching, and they still support the Lindong family on the surface, but in fact they don’t help each other - but if Annan is really killed, they will all turn to Lindong and rush to the side. The winter family.

And if any family couldn't help but want to take action and crossed the "wait-and-see line", they wouldn't mind selling their colleagues and reporting it to Grand Duke Annan.

They do not support Melvin and the Northland Alliance, and they are not truly completely loyal to the Tricolor Scepter - their only loyal target is themselves.

It can be said that everyone has his own selfishness. This is also very normal.

It can even be said that the Rasputin family is willing to always stand with the Winter family just because the mothers of Annan and Maria are from the Rasputin family... They are Annan's natural allies. Because they are currently the biggest beneficiaries.

Although they did have bad intentions before, Annan did not intend to let them "be punished for their thoughts"——

After the old grandmother regained consciousness, their ideas were shattered.

And more importantly, after the arrival of spring, as the winter resources become rich instantly, the economy will recover rapidly. They no longer need to fight among themselves anxiously to compete for the slightest benefit.

In this case, no one dares to pursue matters about the Melvin family.

After all, the old grandmother woke up on the day the Melvin family disappeared. To say this is a coincidence would be too much.

Who knows if the Melvin family did something particularly taboo, which angered the old grandmother - the first thing she did when she woke up was to raze the Melvin family to the ground.

Asking questions at this time will inevitably make her think that she is an accomplice of the Melvin family.

After all, it can be said that every family of the Winter Nobles is unclean... There are no clean nobles in this era. If we really want to talk about it, no one can stand it.

And if there is really no black history to be found, it will be an even worse sign - let alone a noble, even a saint cannot have everyone in his family living within the law. If this is the case, there are only two possibilities.

Either they used some means to erase relevant records and evidence; or they, for a certain purpose, specifically restricted everyone in the family to be cautious in their words and deeds, and to keep their reputation clean and flawless.

No matter which one it is, it is very dangerous.

The Principality of Cold Winter is actually a special case - because only the Cold Winter family is inherited by blood heirs appointed by the Righteous God. In this way, the righteous gods bypassed the chronological rituals and directly intervened in the rule of mortal society.

Even if Annan really wanted to make a big liquidation now and pull out the entire Winter Nobles and their interest groups, he would not encounter any resistance. But that would only cause greater confusion.

The current three-dimensional supervision systems of the Church, Hand of Winter, and Grandma are still operating normally. During this period when the economy of the Principality of Winter has just begun to recover, the primary contradiction that the Principality of Winter needs to solve is the problem of hungry residents and lack of resources.

What Annan did was to replace all the senior management and important nodes of the Hand of Winter with his own people to ensure that the Hand of Winter would not be bribed - after all, Annan could share any information about the players.

As for other aspects, since he doesn’t understand them, he won’t take action. Just as he had given power to Dmitry, he would now give it to nobles and ministers.

Even though Annan has recovered the memory of Black Annan, he actually does not understand the lower class people of the Principality of Winter - he has never had formal and comprehensive contact; he actually does not understand the various aspects of the Principality of Winter. Rules, traditions, customs... After all, he is the youngest son in the Winter family, and he is not even an adult yet.

Under any circumstances, Annan is the one who is "humbly surrendered" and "protected":

You know, in the Duchy of Winter, which is addicted to alcohol, Annan has never touched real wine yet!

Regardless of men and women, whether they are humans or werewolves, and regardless of their status - whether they are farmers, military families, young aristocratic heirs, even Annan's sister Maria has long been accustomed to drinking at this age.

Perhaps it’s because Annan carries such a heavy fate.

From the very beginning, he was very far away from the word "mundane". And after Annan's sublimation, he will be even further away...

In this case... all Annan can do is not to make random decisions for others and not to dictate other people's lives.

Nowadays, Annan, as a grand duke with the bonus of his grandmother, can make almost anyone lose their life with just one word or a gesture without paying any price.

After Annan's sublimation, the "authority" he holds will be further improved. How can the power of a mortal prince be compared with the power of a god?

If he is now accustomed to using his power to suppress others and take away their lives, beliefs, desires or other things at will, then after he becomes a god, he will become the kind of existence that Annan once hated the most.

——Become his "mirrors".

Yes.

Although Annan has not had a very clear "what existence I must become" so far. His desires are inherently weak, and his goals in life are unclear...but all he knows is "I absolutely don't want to be anyone."

After he sublimates his heart of justice in the future, Annan will also have the power of "justice" in his hands, and his scope of management will also radiate to the entire world. When the sky train is officially launched and the rapid travel of ten thousand worlds begins, he may even affect other worlds.

This power is not to make Annan nobler than others, nor is it to allow Annan to kill anyone or manage anything at will, or to allow himself to do whatever he wants-

Different from Annan's mirrors.

His power, his authority, his apostles... will always exist for the purpose of "making others happier".

Annan is confident that this is a path that will never be denied by his past self or regretted by his future self——

Although the holy bones could not restrain Annan, with the change of identity, Annan began to restrain himself. He began to pay close attention to his every move...reflecting on whether his recent actions were based on justice, reason, or just random decisions based on emotions and personal likes and dislikes.

Just like this "tyrant" and this "madman", when he is awake, he puts many chains and shackles on his body. He restrains himself with his own reason and morality, just like before he traveled through time.

——But it was different from Annan, who was often depressed and confused at that time.

Now Annan does not think this is a mistake——

Different from the path of most gods: Annan does not intend to abandon his humanity and only focuses on matters related to his own domain.

He will hold on to his humanity.

Having human nature means that he can be angry, sad, and sympathetic. He makes mistakes in judgment and acts on impulse.

He will be a fallible human being, not an infallible God.

However, this flexible and changeable path... may be more suitable for "justice" and "hope".

But at the same time, Annan will also self-monitor this free humanity from another perspective to prevent him from making wrong decisions and causing unnecessary harm to others.

——In order to prevent the glory of the sky carriage from falling, Annan has made up his mind and will do his best for this.

Humanity and divinity, freedom and correctness...he wants them all.

After clarifying your own path.

Annan seemed to feel that some membrane had been broken through by him——

He felt the call of the overhead crane very clearly.

As long as Annan performs the sublimation ceremony now, he can complete his ascension immediately.

…But no.

Annan still has a lot to do.

For example, Fufu, for example...

"...child?"

Annan was a little confused: "But I am still a child."

The old grandmother confirmed without hesitation: "You have to know, Anan - after you complete your sublimation, you will lose your physical body. And you are not like me, Ananke and Sibeli. She is a goddess with the field of 'reproduction'.

"In that case, you will never have a child again."

"...Maria should be the same."

Faced with the urge to marry the old grandmother as soon as she woke up, Annan argued with a guilty conscience: "Isn't she not married? And when I kill the rotten husband, Dmitri's sterilization disease It will get better naturally."

With the help of her old grandmother, Maria has replaced the Heart of Winter given to her by Annan.

Placing her brother's heart in place was like replacing her brother's Mangekyō Sharingan - Maria immediately broke a certain bond.

As Annan originally guessed, in "Ode to the Storm and the Heart", the heart and the storm are equally important.

The previous Maria was missing half of human emotions. She cannot realize the existence of "heart".

Now Maria can smile from the bottom of her heart...

Her book of truth finally appeared at this moment.

The Daughters of the Storm, who have been passed down for generations, will eventually inherit the mantle of the "eldest daughter of the Storm", pick up the relics of their predecessors, and continue to move forward on the road of truth.

Facts have proved that the path taken by the "eldest daughter of the storm" and her understanding of the truth were indeed wrong.

Mary, who manifested the fragments of truth in the correct way, could hear the clear sound of drums just by walking. She can stir up a storm with a slight smile, thunder with a straight face, and even volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes and other disasters can be stirred up or calmed down at will.

This is not the truth about "wind" in the first place.

It’s about the truth about natural disasters, disasters, and the “heart” that overcomes them all——

Just like the truth of "betrayal".

Compared with betrayal itself, the atonement after betrayal is the essence of truth. The storm can't protect anything, it's just a phenomenon.

Rather...

It was precisely because of the death of the Storm's eldest daughter that the Storm Tower became the guardian against natural disasters - and this allowed Maria to understand the meaning of this truth.

From this perspective, she is indeed the true heir of the eldest daughter of Storm.

Under the accumulation of hundreds of years of inheritance, perhaps Maria's sublimation ceremony will be earlier than Annan's.

"Dmitri's child will be used to inherit the Principality of Winter, and it has nothing to do with you."

But faced with Annan’s sophistry, the old grandmother was unmoved: “As for Maria—is there anyone in this world who is worthy of Maria?

"That child is so outstanding...the only people she loves in her heart are her relatives. And as 'He', His love expands to the entire world. Mary will be the most orthodox God. She is a simple guardian, a living pillar of this world. She is different from you.

"You have someone you love, Annan. Don't let yourself regret it."

"...I actually can't confirm whether it is love or not."

Annan was silent for a while, but replied honestly: "And I'm not sure whether she has true love for me - not for idols, gods, elders, or teachers, but as a companion. The love between each other.

"Without being sure of this relationship, I don't think giving birth to an heir would be a good thing."

"So, have you asked her?"

The old grandmother asked rhetorically.

Annan was silent.

The old grandmother, who rarely became stern, asked: "You have questions in your mind, but you don't ask. You hope that the child will realize what you are thinking, and then rush over to tell you what she is thinking. Everything - not only does it have to meet your requirements, but on this basis, it also has to convince you to believe in her?

"Is that what you think, Annan?"

"...Of course not."

"Then what are you hesitating about, why are you being reserved? Are your status incompatible with hers, or do you think you are not worthy of her? Or is it actually because you look down on her?

"You have to know that the child is the queen. She is still very young, but she must have her own offspring in the future - to continue the existence of the kingdom. Can you accept her having children with other people?"

The old grandmother said seriously: "Go and confess, Annan. Don't let yourself regret it.

"You haven't even confessed once. Are you waiting for that little queen to give up your dignity and throw herself into her arms? Or is it that your love for her is far from enough to allow you to 'sacrifice face' to confess? To what extent?"

"...I do like her. I just-"

The young Grand Duke and future **** was a little hesitant at this time.

Only at this time will Annan look like a real child.

He could roughly guess Kaifuni's answer, but he was still uneasy, uneasy, and hesitant about it.

... Speaking of which, shouldn’t Annan have memories of past lives?

Didn’t this child have anyone he liked in his previous life?

That would be a shame...

The loving yet stern old grandmother sighed and decided to give it another push:

"Listen up, Annan - don't come back immediately after you kill Fufu.

"Go directly to Noah and tell her everything you are worried about and everything you want to know, from cause to effect, completely and honestly. ~IndoMTL.com~ Tell her all your feelings for her , and then wait for her response.

“This immature and confused feeling is the most precious among the many relationships in life.

“Many people’s feelings end in this hazy era before they can be clarified and before they begin, leaving behind a lifetime of regrets.

"——You must face it, Annan. Don't run away.

"If you have to run away from 'love', how do you face the worms? How do you claim that you understand love and understand love?"

"...Okay."

Annan nodded slightly and responded firmly: "I understand.

"Thank you, Grandma."

The old grandmother did not respond. She just picked up Annan, shook his body, and patted his back. The sternness on her face gradually turned into doting.
