The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 648

[Chapter 180 “Left Little Finger” Sorgen]

After the “video call” with Salvatore ended, Winter’s Hand, who had been standing at the door for a while, finally knocked on the door and walked in.

It was a rather thin old man.

He looked tall and thin, like a dry scarecrow and a lanky ghost.

The old man was wearing a light gray gown, and his face was very pale and bloodless.

The snow-white and slender hair is sparse to the point of being almost transparent, and the tiny age spots can be seen on the temples and the corners of the eyes.

His pupils were silver-white… as if they were completely shrouded in fog.

At first glance, he looked like a blind man with pure white eyes.

The most conspicuous part of him is not the little finger on his left hand with the ice ring on, but the scarf around his neck.

The old man was wearing at least seven or eight dark gray wool scarves.

From the nose to the chin, and even the shoulders.

Except for the silver-gray eyes, the facial features are completely obscured, and nothing will be revealed.

“His Royal Highness, the interrogation result is out.” A

low and very soft voice sounded muffled from under the scarf: “Can I report to you now?”

“No problem, Uncle Zorgen.”

Annan nodded lightly .

.

There was a hint of respect in his voice.

Although he has completely lost his memory, in fact, when Annan was a child, it was the Hand of Winter who watched him grow up—even when Ivan was a child, he also watched him grow up.

In the hands of Winter, the “ring finger” is responsible for internal affairs, and the “thumb” is responsible for management.

The “little finger” is called the “unwanted finger”, or “hidden finger”.

What they are responsible for is “jobs that don’t need to be seen”…such as espionage, torture, assassination, perjury and other activities.

Generally speaking, the Hand of Winter is advanced from the wizards of the incapacitated school.

However, the position of the little finger requires an additional stalker profession.

It is said that before Annan was eight years old, Sorgen intercepted at least ten more assassinations of Annan; and before Annan was born, his mother Anya Rasputin would also be protected by Sorgen.

The reason why Annan was assassinated was only because he and Ivan were separated.

At present, the top management of the Hand of Winter is not complete – because the power is very large, it is better to lack it than to waste it.

This is a new rule that only appeared after the defection from Vladimir the Winter Rebel… Until then, the “Ten Fingers” will always be full.

There are even many alternate positions alone, which directly leads to a fight within the Hand of Winter.

And thanks to “Winter Defender” for sounding the alarm.

He reminded Ivan that the real power of the Principality of Winter is not in the hands of those ministers… but in the hands of the “ten fingers” of Winter’s hand.

The pinky of the right hand of the previous generation was also a member of the defectors.

Since then, all his disciples have been purged… Until now, the faction of the “Right Pinky” is still managed by Zorgen.

Roughly speaking, the rule of the hand of winter is “left hand inside, right hand outside”.

Just as the left hand is used to block attacks and protect vital points, while the right hand is used to hold a weapon to attack others.

At present, there are four free rings in the right hand of the hand of winter – except for the most important, the “thumb” as the commander is kept by “Victor” personally designated by Ivan, and the other four rings are left empty, the power Incorporated into the left hand.

The spies who were buried abroad before,

who have not been activated will no longer receive any orders to let them live their own daily lives; and those who have already begun to pass information to the Principality of Winter are also ordered to find a way to lurk again. …for example, “Dad” is like that.

And more manpower, which is used for internal monitoring and management.

So in fact, the number of “counter-espionage” personnel in Winter has doubled for no reason.

Because of the sudden abundance of manpower, all the spies on Noah’s side were named and found, and they were all arrested without exception.

They simply couldn’t get the information back.

——This is the real reason why Daliyuan’s old bread was curious before, “Winter suddenly narrowed the scope of intelligence”.

In essence, it was because of the change in the rights of the “Ten Fingers” that the Ten Fingers became the Six Fingers… Not because of any major changes in Winter, or some secret information that cannot be known to outsiders.

This is the real secret that the Noahs must not have known.

“…To sum up the above. I think Yuri Frostwind needs to be arrested immediately.”

Zolgen put his hands close to the legs of his trousers, and his unusually slender body like a slender ghost stood straight.

He didn’t read the notes, but was very proficient in reciting the information obtained from the torture to Annan.

To put it simply, this operation was indeed the work of the Northern Alliance.

To be precise, it was the private behavior of three of the Northern Alliance – Viscount Peter, Viscount Ostov and Earl Yuri.

They did not simply assassinate Annan.

After comparing it with the previous investigation information of Hand of Winter, Zorgen keenly discovered that Frozen Wind had a strange money.

It was apparently used as “purchasing green fire for living”, but after careful investigation, it was found that the money flowed to a town called “Saltpeter Ranch” in the underground world.

The ruler of this town, “Blood Hand Brothers”, has an indistinct relationship with Nata County in Noah’s kingdom – a large amount of demon blood produced by the “Mushroom Eater” gang, but only a small amount flows into Noah’s local area. .

The rest were sold to the saltpeter ranch.

After that, the blood of that batch of demons flowed into the Frozen Wind Territory of the Winter North through the relationship of the saltpeter ranch.

“Yuri Frostwind was prosecuted for researching forbidden rituals before. He paid a lot of indemnity and handed over his three manors to avoid prison. But the previous forbidden ritual was to communicate with ‘dream creatures’ ‘ ritual… In this ritual, the poisonous dust of Hermes needs to be used, so the material of ‘the corrupted person with pure heart’ is needed.

“Looking back now… those materials should only be after the failure to create demons. of the residue.

They may not have created poisonous dust at all, let alone communicated with dream world creatures.

”

The old man’s eyes were cold without any emotion: “Considering that they may have successfully created demons, I think it is necessary to dispatch the Frost Beast troops to carry out the seizure. Anyone related to the forbidden ritual should be arrested.

” forefinger” and above permissions.

He declared this, in fact, a little overstepping his authority.

And if the action is so big, it may touch the already sensitive nerves of the Northern Alliance.

Annan thought for a while, and then asked, “Have you told my father?”

“Grand Duke Ivan instructed me to report to you first, Your Highness Annan,”

Zolgen replied.

“…Don’t worry.”

Annan was silent for a long time, frowning slightly: “You said the assassin’s weapon is… venom?”

“It’s the standard spell [Venom-Heart Failure]. Once hit, the blade will It breaks and remains in the muscle, and the blade will be applied every three seconds to the contact with a “heart failure” spell.” The

old man replied calmly: “This is the technology of the United Kingdom’s Burning Fangs.”

There was no word in his words. Any feelings, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com As if Annan’s previous reply did not exist – no rhetorical question, no further questioning.

Like a cold puppet.

“So—investigate from here first.”

Annan tapped his index finger on the table and said slowly: “We must know who is involved, so that we can know who our enemies are and what their goals may be. What is it? Only then can we find out who can be won over and who can’t be trusted.”

“We have very few available personnel in the underground city, and it is difficult to go to the saltpeter ranch for efficient investigation.”

The old man replied without emotion: “But we have three spies in the underground world who have become ‘diggers’. But once activated, it may cause them to be exposed and lose their rights. Although this is not 100%, but The ‘wise men’ are quite difficult to deal with, you should use them as disposable chess pieces.”

“…No, no need.”

Thinking of this, Annan’s heart moved slightly.

Speaking of which, Lin Yiyi and the others are now in the saltpeter ranch.

It seems that they can conduct a reverse investigation from the other end…

So Annan’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a winning smile.

The silver-haired boy narrowed his eyes.

He said slowly: “In this regard, I should be able to get fairly accurate information soon.”
