Chapter 41 Annan: I'm on the road.jpg
"Ghirlandaio" calmly watched as Doreen was taken away by Lady Leona, and the tamed Frost Beast followed her away.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Of course Annan knew...
If Dmitri and the others inquired about the source of this frost beast from Doreen, they would immediately notice the flaw in the identity of "Ghirlandaio".
- But, it doesn't matter.
Annan didn't plan on how long this identity would last. Not even intending to use it to fool Dmitry.
Vasily Manning just delayed the news for a few days, and did not know that Annan had already left for the winter. But he will know sooner or later.
After all, Annan left Noah originally to avoid suspicion. Therefore, this news will not be hidden - think about it and know that when Noah's new king was elected, Archduke Winter, who was close to one of the candidates, lived in his own capital.
It would be fine if Kaphne didn't succeed.
If Kaphne succeeds in the throne, then there will be people gossiping... Saying that Queen Kaphne has been controlled by Grand Duke Winter, and Noah's Kingdom has no future.
This may even directly shake Noah's foundations of power.
Those with ulterior motives also have words at hand that can incite others.
... Of course, even if Annan is not in Noah, he will still do what he should do in the end. But the level of trouble is not the same.
When Vasily passed the news back to Winter, Dmitri would immediately guess from the many details left by Annan that "Ghirlandaio" was Annan.
And he would immediately realize that since Annan returned to China in hiding, it meant that he needed such a holster. Then he will help Annan hide the true identity of "Ghirlandaio" instead.
Don't worry about your vest being torn down.
Annan would like to take advantage of the present time to inquire about things that Dmitry might not tell Annan:
"... Then again, my brother."
So "Ghilandaio" asked Dmitri Winter beside him in a low voice, "Since werewolves are so dangerous, why didn't the Principality of Winter simply expel them from their situation?"
Werewolf's madness talent,
Make them the equivalent of a time bomb.
No one would hope that a werewolf would appear near their children-even if judging from their age and gender, the other party would not be mad for a while.
Not to mention a werewolf who could really kill.
Even if it is a genuine human... if the other party has ever been in prison or received a sentence. Even if you just steal a piece of bread, a few silver coins, and stay with the child, it will definitely make parents feel uneasy.
"The solution once and for all is to completely expel the werewolves from the country?"
Gillandaio said with a half-smile: "Anyway... it's actually almost the same now."
Dmitry glanced at him: "Are you a werewolf sympathizer?"
Gillandaio shrugged: "I'm not, I'm not even a Winterman, and I have no right to sympathize. It's just pure curiosity.
"You are the successor of Archduke Winter. Then you should know the answer to this question... can you tell?"
"Nothing to mention. It's no secret."
Dmitry said slowly.
He sat on the table to himself and took out a copper box from his arms. There was supposed to be a row of cigars inside, but there were only three left.
He took out one of the dark brown cigars and used a cigar cutter to cut a hole in the round end. He rudely picked up a thick match from the Gillandaio table, and after igniting it, carefully turned and smoked the cigar.
The little finger of his left hand tapped the humidor and glanced at Ghirlandaio.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Dmitry raised his head in surprise:
"...you don't smoke?"
"I'm not old enough to smoke."
Gillandaio said with a half-smile, if he meant something.
But Dmitri apparently didn't realize what Ghirlandaio meant.
He just clicked.
Dmitry shook his head and murmured in a low voice, "People are all mortal... What to do with such a meticulous life."
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing."
Dmitry denied it.
He was silent for a while, then said slowly: "The answer is very simple.
"It's not that we don't want to expel... it's that we can't expel them. Although we haven't thoroughly studied the rules of werewolves' madness. But the general rule is that when the lives of themselves and the group are endangered, the werewolves have a probability of madness.
"For example, when someone is seriously injured, or when they are really desperate, a werewolf can go crazy. According to our research, it seems to be some kind of curse inherited from the blood... Who knows. Who cares."
A curse inherited from the bloodline?
Like...Winter Heart?
Annan was thoughtful.
I see.
Therefore, the Principality of Winter will deliberately leave a way.
Although they discriminated against, suppressed werewolves, and restricted werewolves from gaining power, they never expelled werewolves from the territory, but gave them a definite way to survive-because once werewolves were really pushed, the power they burst out was enough to destroy the werewolves. The Duchy of Winter was made into a sieve from the inside.
The Kingdom of Noah was staring at him, and the Principality of Winter did not dare to use radical means to deal with the werewolf problem.
But don't dare - doesn't mean don't want to.
If possible, they wished the werewolf to leave the Winter Principality as soon as possible.
Whether it is going underground or in a religious country, the werewolf's status will be relatively higher there anyway.
The underground world is vast and sparsely populated and rich in resources, and the black-haired werewolves who enter the underground will hardly trigger madness; and on the side of the Church, the status of the werewolves is slightly higher than that of the Duchy of Winter.
The Chinese people are also afraid of werewolves. But the difference is that there are some werewolves in the church country, who have stood at the top of the power and can speak for their own race.
After all, werewolves are born war machines and people of "blood and desire".
Werewolves cannot give birth to the believers of the old grandmother, but it is easy to give birth to the admirers of the red knight and the cup girl.
You know... there is a Bronze rank extraordinary profession called "Wolfman".
Werewolves do not need any pre-professional occupations, do not need to learn swordsmanship and stealth skills, as long as they clear the nightmare after normal adulthood, they will have the opportunity to advance to extraordinary.
...and, it's also easy to go down the road of depravity.
It can almost be said to be a born degenerate.
The only two of the twelve true gods who can accept demon believers are the red knight and the cup holder.
The Red Knight even has an apostle corps called the "Slaughter Squad", all of which are made up of demons who recruit security; and in the ceremony of the woman holding the cup, there is even a high-level ceremony that directly transforms mortals into a long-lived species such as blood demons - in In Annan's understanding, it can also be called a "vampire".
Then it's weird.
Since the Principality of Winter is generally speaking, I wish the werewolves would get out of here.
Why was Bella accepted...even eligible to be the Hand of Winter?
Looking at Dmitri's reaction, Annan estimates that Bella has gone mad.
He may have even attacked himself for a week... Otherwise, in terms of Dmitri's seemingly serious but lazy personality, he wouldn't have suddenly developed such a bad feeling towards werewolves.
But Annan still couldn't ask Bella's question.
Whether Bella had an accident or not.
In terms of personality, he is a Noah.
If you directly report the real name of a member of the Hand of Winter, you may be caught on the spot, in addition to Doreen, you need to add another...
"You don't want to run."
Seeing Gillandaio stand up, Dmitri said abruptly, "I'm busy now, and I'm here to find that frost beast. I'll keep an eye on you until your suspicions are cleared."
"Well, I get it, I get it. I'm going to get some wine...Is it okay to get some wine?"
Annan said with a smile: "I understand now, why you must find that frost beast.
"Research value is not important... Werewolves are not very stable. Right?"
"...Tsk."
I always feel that Gillandaio's words are a bit strange.
Dmitri smacked his lips and took a cigar with a displeased expression.
Annan shook his head and got up to get a few bottles of wine from the wine rack at the door.
He hasn't tried it yet, whether he can use the new function of the teleportation point... so he can't wave it yet. Just stay here obediently, it won't be a few days.
I really want to see Dmitry's face when he learns the truth.
Annan thought with a smile.
The smile on Annan's mouth became even more obvious when he thought of the trio of wasteland pioneers who were still rushing to the streets in the underground city and waiting for him to bring him.
It's quite interesting to watch them flutter in the streets.
"I didn't mean to scold you... You see, it's impossible."
I'm really in the game, bros.
You work first, without me, don't wait for me.jpg
