The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 1258

[Chapter 280 Annan’s Deterrent Power]

The news of Grand Duke Annan’s reappearance, along with the information that he had been successfully promoted, quickly spread throughout the entire Frost Whisper Province.

The transcendent existence of the Golden Rank has a natural disaster-like repressive force in any country in this world.

Because through conventional means, without the power of the gold-rank superhuman, it is completely impossible to fight against the golden-rank – the absolute suppression of the power of the elements is reflected in all aspects.

Bronze rank defeating silver rank, mortals defeating bronze rank, and even mortals defeating silver are quite common… For example, Dove when he first entered the game, and the shaping wizard named Jude.

However, silver beats gold differently.

Throughout history –

even if the dimension of time is pushed forward to the second era, there are only a handful of silver tiers who can leapfrog gold and defeat gold like Annan.

They can be called “legends” in their own right.

Their deeds will be celebrated for generations, and the Golden Orders they defeated will be famous with them.

And generally…these people would have been great people in the first place.

Those who didn’t die prematurely, 100% have become existences above the golden rank.

Either the darling of a righteous god – the kind who is very likely to become the Pope, who can defeat the weaker gold through the power of magic, such as Noah’s silver knight captain Alexander; or the truth The holder of the chapter, the god of the future… For example, the Marquis of Iris in the past and Annan today are all like this.

And Salvatore is a special case of a special case.

So far, he is the only one who can rub the sage’s stone in the silver rank… Except for the sage’s stone, there is nothing that can make people enter gold in advance.

After all, this is an existence of the same level as the power of the elements, or even higher.

If you want to fight against the Golden Rank, you must send the rest of the Golden Rank; otherwise, with the power of the whole country, at most, it can only be expelled.

In a situation where gods, especially righteous gods, are unable to directly take action against mortals, the golden rank is the pinnacle of arbitrary actions in this world.

And if this transcendent existence originally had special rights and status, so that the country could not unitely resist him… or even love him, then this is a perfect solution.

Just wait for his life to end.

Until then, what he said was what he said.

Those nobles who were erratic at first, immediately fell to Annan and Dmitry without hesitation.

On the first day of Annan’s return to Winter, he had already declined the “celebration banquet” and “meeting requests” from more than a dozen nobles of all sizes – of course, the heart and congratulations were still accepted.

After all, they don’t have anything important either…and they can’t have anything important.

As we all know, it is Dmitri who is actually doing things in the Principality of Winter.

Archduke Winter is only responsible for providing advice on the general direction, as well as serving as Dmitri’s “solid backing”.

These people are just here to flatter and show their loyalty.

If Annan didn’t even accept the gift, they must be thinking wildly – is the Grand Duke trying to kill himself?

Is it too late to go to the Grand Duke now?

In order to prevent them from having a wave of fear and panic… Annan still asked the hands of Winter who entertained the guests to accept their gifts and letters.

When they asked each other in this way, they found that although Annan did not accept their invitation to meet… But Grand Duke Annan did not accept any invitation to meet.

That way they can rest easy.

But Annan didn’t even look at the gifts sent by those people.

He directly asked the players who served in the Hand of Winter to divide the gifts by himself – just take whatever you want.

If it is the traditional Hand of Winter, when faced with this kind of thing, it is called an unselfish person, and it is easy to drive these people who are fairly safe into the hostile camp… This kind of thing can only make people who are not cursed by the Hand of Winter. Players who are bound to deprive some of their emotions will be dealt with.

Of course, Annan actually has a list.

Or… a small book.

Those who have troubled Dmitri before, or who did some shameful deeds when Annan left the Principality of Winter, Annan will directly send the real Hand of Winter to them, and directly follow these Hands of Winter. Explain, “Don’t accept anything, don’t promise anything”.

The Hand of Winter is only loyal to Grand Duke Annan, and Annan’s orders are unequivocal.

Without Annan’s permission, they would send people back without hesitation, and would not accept any gifts they saw.

Of course, the move itself makes no sense.

Those families will not immediately change their past and become good people because they are rejected by Annan.

In fact, this is to appease the usable talents who are fairly honest… At the same time, these players who may be soft-hearted and “unprofessional” are not allowed to battle with those professional lobbyists.

To prevent them from listening and listening, they felt that what the other side said was very reasonable and pitiful… He accepted the gift with a soft heart.

This is also entirely possible.

But just two days later, the noble officials from all over the winter, through Annan’s attitude, roughly understood their next fate.

Some people are decent.

Either all members of the adult family committed suicide, and the remaining children were adopted as distant relatives to change their surnames; or, while dispersing the family wealth, the patriarch elders went to the grandmother’s church to convict themselves; or the whole family went directly to Report from the Frost Beast Troop—

in a word, disintegrating his surname on his own.

At all costs, even shameless, I only want one life… I just hope that the child can survive and the bloodline can continue.

For such decent gentlemen, Annan is also willing to show his “kindness”.

Nor does it directly forgive their sins, just as if their family no longer exists.

In other words, it is to keep the case file but not to pursue it.

If their descendants in the future are still doing bad things, it is not impossible to turn over the old accounts and postpone the old cases to more than 20 or 40 years later. If they can become the pillars of the country, they can pretend that this does not exist.

If it is a low-magic fantasy world, Annan may have to worry about a problem of “30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi”, or the son of the concierge trying to get revenge…

But the old grandmother has woken up, and Annan will soon be Ascension to righteous gods – the repentance of these people becomes acceptable.

Not to completely surround people is also to prevent the dog from jumping over the wall.

Although Annan is not afraid of them – but it does not mean that ordinary people in Winter are not afraid.

If they really want to take revenge on society, they don’t know how many people will suffer because of it.

But there are players who are not convinced… trying to resist in the face of their upcoming fate.

He doesn’t admit his mistakes or cowardice, but secretly accumulates his strength.

—Like the Melvin family.

Their nominal patriarch was detained by Annan, but they acted as if there was no such person, and never came to ask for it.

After all, the Melvin family is essentially an inheritance family with the “God on Earth” as its core.

The “God of Humanity” passed down from generation to generation is their backbone and the true opinion leader.

This patriarch is just a puppet that was pushed out.

“Those people in your family just don’t want a decent ending.”

Annan sighed at Patriarch Melvin, who was sweating profusely and lost a lot of weight in two days.

He didn’t torture the patriarch, or even imprison him.

Whatever Annan eats, he is given what to eat.

Just having him watch what Annan was doing made the patriarch more and more nervous, more and more fearful, and more and more in awe of Annan.

This is very different from the fearless, even contemptuous attitude towards Dmitry.

“Do you understand what I mean?”

After lunch, Annan wiped his hands.

He asked calmly: “Earl Melvin?”

“…Are you trying to find Grynznuha?”

“That will come later. Of course, it is not impossible to do it together.”

Annan showed a gentle expression

Smile: “They are not decent – I will help them be decent.”

After that, Annan picked up the three sirens placed on the table, which symbolized the power of the Grand Duke of Winter.

“Jacob.”

Annan said.

Behind him, a thin, short man appeared in the light.

That was the “magic magic” that Annan bestowed on him.

“I’m here, Your Majesty.”

“Open the door,” Annan said briskly. “Send Patriarch Melvin home. I’ll go

with you.

” He

smiled, “It’s not that I can’t protect you, but it still hurts to die once.

“When the matter is over, I will fly back by myself.

”

Annan said in a pointed way.
