The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 314: Maria’s gift

"Player Super Justice ()"

That's right...home is where your family is.

Even if the memories of the past have been completely forgotten by him, even if the other party cannot feel love at all... the bloodline still connects the two hearts as a link.

Maria examined Annan for a long time.

She used her fingertips to confirm whether there were any scars on Annan's skin, then pinched Annan's left shoulder and upper arm, and touched her back to confirm whether there was more or less flesh.

Annan was being manipulated like a doll, but he didn't show any impatience.

After Maria checked her whole body, she sighed deeply.

"Little Annan...has grown up.

She took a step back and murmured: "My body is also strong, finally."

Of course... When I left home, my strength was 7 and my constitution was 6. Now my strength is 15 points, and my constitution attribute has broken through 50 and entered the extraordinary realm.

Annan thought to himself.

Maria held Annan's hand that was not holding the scepter with both hands, carefully felt the muscles of Annan's fingertips with her fingertips, lowered her head and said softly: "It's hard to be outside alone, isn't it? ”

"...it's okay."

Annan was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice.

The hard work is not so hard.

"After all, I am not alone. I also have friends and people I can trust."

"...choose your friends well."

Maria raised her head and repeated with some worry: "Some friends are meaningless. Bad friends will only drag you down, lead you bad, and hurt you... You must choose friends well and good friends. You must. Choose friends who can keep up with you, help you, inspire you, or monitor you.

"Don't think...that you can take everyone to a distant place. That would be too tiring..."

Maria's ice-blue pupils stared at Annan, as if staring at the whole world intently: "Although you are the Grand Duke now, there is no need to sacrifice your life for this country... You can still be selfish occasionally. ."

She spoke completely different words from Ivan and Dmitri.

Because for Maria, Annan is the most important person in the world.

Maria has very obvious "levels" for different people - how close they can be to her, what they can say, what kind of help and feedback they can give... If two friends quarrel, She has always had very clear standards in her heart about which side she should be on.

Even, not just friends.

For Maria, whether it is power, ability, mission, glory, family affection...all these have extremely clear levels in her heart.

She is the one who truly has the Heart of Winter.

Perhaps because she is a relatively rare female descendant in the Winter family, her signs of returning to her ancestors are even more obvious - her personality, talents and bloodline are all closer to her grandmother.

Cold, rational, paternalistic... and the theory of sacrifice.

If there were no "Book of Heavenly Cars", she would undoubtedly be the person with the strongest strength and will in the entire family.

In Maria's heart, Annan's "status" was very high.

Because Annan is Maria's closest relative... closer than Dmitri.

This is common sense that has always existed in this world and this era but is always deliberately ignored by people - that is, the degree of intimacy between children with the same father and the same father must be There is a gap.

Even if it is whitewashed as "brotherhood," the gap between bloodlines exists objectively.

The relationship between Maria and Dmitry is definitely not as close as the one between her and Annan. This was true whether it was the age gap between her and Dmitri that was too large, or the fact that they only had half the same bloodline.

An ordinary child might deliberately alienate Annan in order to make up for this objective emotional gap - to show Dmitri that this "brotherly relationship is fair and equal."

It's like when a biological child quarrels with an adopted son, he will favor the adopted son.

But Maria did not do this at all.

From the very beginning, she realized that her feelings for Annan were stronger than those for Dmitri. There is no attempt to hide this, or to adopt a balanced approach in order to show fairness... Her preference is not even half-hidden, no matter who it is.

This is actually one of the reasons why Annan was brought up mainly under the care of Maria - this was the strong request from Maria. Only five years older than Annan, she was able to participate in the action of raising her younger brother that Dmitri was responsible for, and she refused to interfere with Dmitri in anything she could do.

The results are also significant.

Annana's innate wisdom was not shown to Maria and Dmitri at first. The people who knew about this were mainly Ivan...then the grandmother, and then Vladimir.

Annan came into contact with the "Ten Fingers" even earlier than Dmitri.

Before that, Dmitry had always thought Annan was a "shy" person; while Maria thought Annan was a "gentle" person.

This is actually because Annan is too lazy to play with brats, and he doesn't want to lose face to this stubborn sister who works hard to take care of herself.

Until Annan took Dmitri and made a bet with Fufu...

His wisdom only began to appear in the eyes of his brothers and sisters from then on.

A long time passed after that...Dmitri gradually got used to Annan's command and supervision, but it was not until Annan left home last year and erased his memory that Maria finally learned from Ivan. I knew everything in hindsight.

Annan can also guess why Zhou Mo has been hiding it from Maria. Her character is that Annan is greater than anything else... Her idea of ​​abandoning her memory to pursue justice and conform to the way of the heavenly carriage will definitely not be supported by Maria.

——This is also the reason why Maria lost control of her emotions when she contacted Annan for the first time.

Annan originally thought ~IndoMTL.com~ that when he saw Maria after returning to China... Maria would act more excitedly. For example, give yourself a slap, or hug Annan's head and cry, or make a fuss and ignore yourself.

The result was unexpected...

I just looked at my whole body carefully.

In fact, Annan can understand Maria's thoughts.

After all, shortly after Annan was born, his and Maria's mother also died.

She gave birth to a total of four children, Annan was the third - she died after giving birth to her fourth child. The second and fourth eldest children died at the age of two and one month respectively. Only Maria and Annan survived.

Maria watched her brothers be born and die, her mother died at a young age, and now her respected father has also left them.

——Annan has become Maria’s closest relative in a real sense. Every time I look at Annan's face, which is almost the same as mine, this feeling becomes more profound.

After coming back this time.

Annan finally had differences with her.

Whether it is the warm smile that gives people a sense of strangeness, the strange-colored pupils, the curse lines on the shoulders, the body that has become stronger...

She shook her head vigorously to dispel those images.

"I brought you a gift, Annan."

Maria stretched out her hand, placed it in front of her lips, and said seriously: "It is a gift that must not be told to Dmitri... and it will definitely be very helpful to your current situation."

"What is...?"

"This is it."

As she spoke, Maria took out a paw from her arms.

It’s real [a paw]. Canine paws.

“I finally dug this out of the wasteland of the Poison Fern Pillar after a lot of effort...

"The [Nightmare Coordinates] of that traitor Bella."
