The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 268: That’s why I’m here
On the other side, Annan and Kafni had already circled around the palace.
The only person following them now was Elizabeth's personal maid——Old Merlin. When they circled back to the main hall, he went back urgently and notified Dmitri of this incident as soon as possible. event.
Yes, for them, this is indeed a big deal...
Annan's character is the shyest and timid among the Winter clan of this generation...or it can be said that he is the most autistic.
Old Merlin has never seen Annan take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Not to mention, he kidnapped his daughter in front of His Highness the Prince when they met directly...
And Merlin can see that the girl named Kafni is definitely not an ordinary person.
——She has the talent to become a wizard or a priest.
That keen perception is an extraordinary perception that is enough to perceive the essence of gods from ordinary things... It is indeed a great gift for extraordinary people. She is always at the forefront on the road to transcendence.
Because whether it is a ritual or a curse, she can easily find the key and essence.
But for a child who has not yet embarked on the path to transcendence... those endless hallucinations will only cause trouble in her life.
Could it be said that such a lonely child could actually reach a consensus with His Highness Annan?
Old Merlin knew clearly.
No matter what the reason is and what countermeasures are ultimately adopted - this is not something he has the power to deal with.
He must first tell His Highness Dmitry about this and let him make a decision.
Fortunately, Her Royal Highness Maria was away practicing and did not follow...
Old Merlin sighed silently.
He glanced towards the door.
Annan and Kaifni were there, whispering in a deserted corner.
But both of them are extremely conspicuous people.
Even if you are just sitting in a corner, you will become the center of attention.
However, among those who are qualified to directly attend the King's birthday party, there cannot be any simple or stupid people.
Even if they see Annan and Kaifni staying together, they will pretend not to see it.
Although they have never seen Annan, the clothes on Annan are so iconic after all - they are the highest quality fur of frost beasts, fur that can keep them dry and cool even in the hot summer. But if ordinary people wear it, they may even get sick from being too cold.
The temperature is like a down jacket stuffed with ice cubes in the sandwich. Only the people of the Winter Clan can withstand it.
Kafni's reputation for being eccentric has long been spread among Noah's upper class.
This crazy little girl is believed to be on the road to extraordinary things sooner or later - so children of her age are warned by their parents to stay away from her as much as possible and to maintain sufficient awe and alienation from her.
The reason is also very simple.
If Kaifni dies in the future, something she experienced may become a nightmare. If someone enters Kaifuni's nightmare with malicious intentions, they may learn the secrets of someone around her from the nightmare.
The more secrets those people have, the more they must keep a distance from those who may embark on the path to transcendence.
Seeing that Kaifuni seemed to have a good relationship with Annan, the nobles and officials expressed their joy in seeing this——
The Duke of Winter is acting too tough.
If you can marry Kaifni into the cold winter and make good friends with them...that would be great. The people of Lingdong are known for their loyalty, competence, and unity. Many well-known mercenary groups and industrial groups were formed or organized by the people of Lingdong.
For them, the young and strong labor force in the cold winter is an excellent labor force.
Some young people will come to neighboring countries to escape the winter. But when the harvest is good, they will go back after all.
In other words, they are strong and hard-working - long-term consumption of frost beast meat makes the strength and physique of adult Winter people naturally much stronger than those of other countries. The daily carrying capacity of a winter boatman can reach three times that of a Noah boatman of the same age, and this level of labor will not even make them sick due to fatigue.
After all, they don't have to fight the never-ending snowstorm, and they even have no power to do anything about it - which also makes them extra active, excited and irritable.
The meat, blood and fur of frost beasts are also winter specialties. The blood of frost beasts is even a material that transformation wizards need in large quantities...it is one of the main ingredients used to transform it into a powerful adhesive.
This powerful adhesive is necessary for building tall stone buildings, stone bridges, and stone city walls. It can also be diluted and converted into a weak adhesive that can be used to build roads.
Regardless of Noah's own needs for building bridges, roads and houses, the Theocracy has a large demand for these two adhesives - this is also one of Noah's main export items.
If we can reach trade cooperation with the Principality of Winter, it will represent a lot of benefits.
——In fact, not many people are willing to go to war at all.
This is also the reason why the war between the two countries has never been completely eliminated, but always stops after two years.
The king of this generation wants to unify the five countries and rebuild the Great Barrier - this is the slogan he shouted when he was young. There are also many nobles who support him because they also urgently need a protracted war to get more benefits.
...But when people realized that His Majesty the King was actually serious - he really wanted to unify the five countries and was not writing a blank check, people were unwilling to continue to support him.
The five countries are originally one body. Except for the relative independence of the Underground Federation, no other country can do without the other... and all countries can't do without the Underground Federation - mainly because they can't do without the things they built and managed. subway.
What has been preventing the war is the resistance within Noah.
After Noah's nobles realized that Kaifuni had actually caught His Highness Annan... they began to figure out how to sell Kaifuni to the cold winter in a reasonable way.
——Kafni has no friends anyway.
This is how her mother was "traded" to her father, Albert.
The only person who is worried about this is probably Kafni's father, His Royal Highness Prince Albert.
But everyone knows that the person least likely to inherit the throne is Albert.
He doesn't fight or rob at all. He doesn't offend anyone and doesn't want any power - he's just messing around.
While ensuring his own safety, it also left Albert without any authority.
But they didn’t know that Annan and Kafni were discussing some terrifying topic on the other side——
"It is indeed a six-pointed star..."
Annan drew the route in his mind.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he only walked around the palace with Kafni, followed the position she described, and took a rough look to determine the location. This is to prevent surveillance.
Kafni also confirmed this possibility to Annan:
"Ana, when we just arrived near the kitchen, someone was staring at us... just over there at the door. The red-haired man."
She leaned into Annan’s ear and whispered in her trademark light, dreamy voice: “They want to kill us.
"They want to kill us all...I can see what they're thinking."
Annan didn't bother to correct Kaifuni's increasingly weird names for herself. ~IndoMTL.com~ He just had a thought in his heart, and he also whispered into Kafni's ear and asked: "How many people are there? How did they see us?"
The situation seems to be getting serious.
Annan no longer cares about pretending to be a child.
But fortunately Kafni is not a normal person - she doesn't care about Annan's somewhat unusual inquiry.
She said vaguely: "We all have the smell of meat, and wolves can smell it. Everyone has it... but you don't have it.
"So, they can't see you."
Kafni's clear to almost transparent pupils stared at Annan.
She made a childish voice and asked attentively: "Can you... save me?"
...is a blessing from the mysterious lady.
Annan reacted quickly.
It seems that the people in this building have been locked by strange rituals since I don’t know when. But this kind of locking is not accurate to people... Otherwise, when Annan and Kafni are seen by them, they will realize that something is wrong with Annan.
In other words...are you going to act alone next?
But how can he escape the surveillance of the maid and Merlin?
"Of course I can. Maybe you don't believe it, but I am actually very powerful...I can protect everyone."
Facing Annan, he paused, pursed his lips slightly, and immediately suppressed his habitual confident smile.
Annan looked at Kafni, gradually took off her disguise, and replied without thinking: "And I-that's why I'm here."
