The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 1264

[Chapter 285 What About Me?]
“Me?”
Gryznuha made a low, old voice reminiscent of a vibrating wing membrane: “Of course I… came to witness this. That’s all.”
“Witness?”
Annan laughed.
He turned and looked up at Grynznuha.
That was a very old man.
His hair and beard were all white—not the pure white color of Annan and Maria, who had awakened the Heart of Winter and gave off a cold feeling like a snow field.
It was the extremely slender white hair of the old man, and he could even see the scalp faintly through the slender roots.
He was wearing a white double-breasted trench coat and held nothing in his hands.
The old figure is still tall and straight, and the slender white hair flutters in the wind, looking like an old general.
Grynznuha looks like he is only 50-60% similar to Grand Duke Ivan.
If the two were placed together, it could be seen that they were related – but if they were not particularly familiar, it was impossible to see that the old man was actually from the Winter Clan.
His pupils were not the usual ice blue of the Winter Clan, but dark golden vertical pupils.
There were clearly visible wrinkles on his face, but his skin looked fairly clean and fair.
Grynznuha gives people a strong sense of contradiction. If he walks on the street, he may catch the attention of passers-by in an instant.
Annan asked back: “Believe in Duke Skeleton, trick others into sacrificing relatives and friends; encourage nobles in the north to build a curse cellar and assassinate the archduke; unite with Melvin and other families to launch a rebellion, seek the throne of the archduke, and try to seize the power of the great curse… …even trying to turn the entire Winter Principality into a kingdom of the dead.
“And now, the Melvin family has been uprooted by me.
The corners of
his mouth rose slightly: “But you said – you are just to witness?”
”
Annan will not believe his nonsense.
“I know, too, that no one will believe it,”
whispered Grynznuha, “but that’s the truth.
“I’m here to witness it—as always.
”
He said,
and took two steps forward.
Gryznuha’s shape will look a little awkward. Or, asymmetrical.
Although he is wearing a pure white double-breasted trench coat, his left arm is It didn’t come out from the sleeve of the windbreaker, but was hidden in the clothes like this – judging from the bulging place, his left arm was not a broken arm, but was carried behind him like a housekeeper… and like a killer He
usually hides the dagger behind his back.
However, his right arm hangs down naturally, without holding anything. It can be seen that his knuckles are somewhat calloused-this proves that before stepping into the silver step, he used to practice Having practiced swordsmanship for a period of time,
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his spirits.
Although he could “see”, Grynznuha’s hand behind his back was only lightly clenched into a fist and did not hold any weapon
. Being expelled from the well-known “Winter”, he also tried to assassinate Ivan and Annan many times… How to be vigilant can’t be overly vigilant.
After all, Grynznuha is also a genuine gold-level extraordinary person – and he is quite old .In the world of superhumans, old age usually means strength.
If you don’t count the amount of “surplus soul”, this theorem is equally applicable to the golden order.
Annan even tasted clearness from Grynznuha. A
sense of danger.
This means that Gryznuha is also a sufficient threat to Annan, who now has a righteous heart.
“You know, Annan,” Gryznuha made a low voice, “this is not my first time. see you once.
“I saw you once when you were very young.
“It was Ivan who brought me to see you.
”
“…What do you mean,” Annan’s mouth raised a sarcastic arc, “Are you an undercover? The best sixth man to kill those who oppose Winter?”
“I was indeed stripped .
Except in the name of Winter.”
Grynznuha didn’t respond.
He just said plainly: “But that’s not because I believe in Lord Skeleton. It’s because I try to turn the people I protect into materials.
“I think you guessed it…”
“The sublimation ceremony of Lord Skeleton, Right.
”
“That’s right.
”
Gryanznuha nodded quietly: “I was the same ritualist as you from the very beginning.
When I was very young, I was exposed to the ritual of the skeleton man…and then I learned about his true history.
”
His dark golden pupils are as deep as abyss: “It’s different from you.
“I didn’t think there was anything wrong with him from the very beginning.
“In every country that doesn’t fear, or even expects death, to sacrifice their lives without their permission — that’s perhaps a little inappropriate. but can it really be considered a betrayal?
”
“Of course you can.”
Annan replied without hesitation: ”
Betrayal is not an ongoing state.
It’s just having and not, that one time is just as sinful as a hundred times, because the consequences of that one time may be more painful than a hundred times combined.
“Therefore, mortals cannot measure ‘the amount of betrayal’, nor deserve to weigh it. Even a small betrayal may, in the brewing time, under the wings of a butterfly, turn into despair that destroys everything.
” And then , no matter how absurd, the betrayers should be held responsible for this…”
“You also said that, the responsibility-”
Grynznuha interrupted Annan’s words: “This is it.
“The
old man asked back: “Why – do people have to take responsibility?
“Does people live for others?”
“Of course people have to live for themselves. But they can also live for others, it all depends on you.”
Annan whispered: “You can live for yourself, there is no such thing as Any mistakes. But don’t laugh at those who give their lives for others.”
Grynznuha closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
“It’s easy to say,”
he repeated. “Living for others is the second hardest thing in the world. You have to be tied up in everything you do, and you have to think about other people—the stupid, short-sighted, cowardly mortals.
” If you can be sure, can be sure, the end result is good.
Does the process really matter?
”
Grynznuha said.
His right hand was placed in front of him.
One by one, he slowly unbuttoned his trench coat.
At the same time, he said calmly: “I know, I have lost.”
Although I didn’t do anything wrong, just because someone other than me did it better.
“The world has a skycar, and I no longer need me to make it survive. It can live like a human with its chest and head up, and it doesn’t have to be a dog. It’s good, it’s naturally good. Yes
.”
He said, unbuttoning all the buttons of his windbreaker.
Grynznuha grabbed the left breast of the trench coat with his right hand, tore it off, and threw it up.
At this moment, a strong wind was blowing, blowing his coat high.
“I sacrificed everything,”
Gryznoha whispered.
“Fame. Money. Power. Love. I have a family that I can’t go back to… I lost the most important [name]. The name I value the most.
“But I don’t regret it.
Because I am the savior – because I am the last possibility in this world and they don’t understand me.
“I’m not afraid to tell you. I can ignore everyone’s eyes, I can obey the arrangement to go to any country and do any job, all because I know that the end of the world will come, and only those who follow me will survive; and Those who despise me, despise me, reject me… stupid because of their short-sightedness, there is absolutely no place for them in my new world.
“I am the eldest son!
I would have been the Grand Duke of Winter – I gave up this noble status and endured this ordinary, mediocre, and boring life to ‘wait for the opportunity’, just for the more noble thing!
“Yes, I’m not really a good person. But aren’t wicked people allowed to save the world? If you want to save the world, you have to pass a spell judgment? Oh, you are not kind and righteous enough, please come back, we have to wait for better and better Good and righteous?
“I’m saving the world for fame and for future power!
There is nothing in my motives worth escaping, because it is a salvation anyway!
“I was like this, waiting in the mortal world for a hundred years… and then you were born.
“Everyone who knows about worms is cheering for you.
They all know that this world is saved, they don’t need to be abandoned here, they don’t need to be transformed into undead… With a plan that is several times better than the original plan, then the original plan can be abandoned.

His appearance gradually began to become younger.
It was as if time began to turn back on him – he gradually turned into a youth in his thirties. The
eyes are burning. The spirit is high.
Like a reckless mountain eagle.
“But, Annan.
”
His left hand was still behind his back.
Grynznuha raised his head, stared at Annan, and asked word by word: “You are the new savior. You are the sky train. You are the heir of the sky car. You are the worm nemesis. You are destroyed by this world. Love, every righteous god is your backer. Everyone loves you… I also think you are a good boy. You are only fifteen years old, you are full of vitality, young and beautiful.
“…Then, what about me?
“I should die, shouldn’t I?”
