The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 263: Fragments of the truth
Looking at this list of spies, Annan’s eyes flashed across many of Neusser’s actions.
...No wonder.
"After he knew that I was Annan Lendong, his attitude towards me became so affectionate..."
He even rubbed my face.
Annan cursed.
Didn't anyone tell him not to blow his boss's mouth...or rub his boss's face?
No wonder he always calls Annan "Your Majesty" instead of "Your Highness", because he has long known that only Annan will inherit the position of Grand Duke. This is indeed something that only one who at least knows the senior management of Lindong will understand.
Not even the Noah royal family can confirm this - even the Winter Nobles of the Far North Brotherhood can't figure it out.
"...That's it."
Annan murmured.
That’s why when Annan left with his childhood sweetheart named Nefertari, Nieussel was so relieved about them and his reaction was so calm...
That’s why he sold his collection and also provided housing and travel expenses for the players; that’s why Sporadic Mill, an underground city directly under the Principality of Winter, is so close to the people of Winter.
From this point of view, Neusel, a child who did not come from a family of diggers and wise men and had little money, was able to successfully become a "digger" and even discover multiple underground cities. I am afraid that he accepted the winter. Hands of funding...
There is even a possibility...
That is, the Hand of Winter directly dispatched professionals and used professional equipment to conduct underground exploration... and then transferred the city they discovered to Neuser, who had the status of "preparatory digger".
So Neusel became a digger at such a young age, but still stayed in Sporadic Mill, a small town that was declining due to nightmares - this is probably his mission as a nail.
If Winter never uses this nail, he will always live in the sporulation mill. Live, work, get married, and have children normally as a digger, maintaining his normal life trajectory... until the Hand of Winter needs him.
In other words...
The corners of Annan's mouth raised slightly.
He put the paper back.
——Just pretend you haven’t seen it.
As one of the few high-level personnel who have penetrated into the underground world, Neuser is still very important to the Hand of Winter. They are not the kind of low-level intelligence officers who can just send over as much or as little as they want.
The wise men in the underground world are very difficult to deal with - not because they are ahead of other countries in terms of race or education, but because they are always in a high-level and high-frequency life-and-death game.
Because there is one very crucial difference in the underground world.
That is, the laws of different cities are not universal, and cross-city pursuits are very difficult. This has led to the underground world where killers, swindlers, and robbers are rampant, and crimes are difficult to get punished.
In order to compete for power and eliminate dissidents, wise men often weave conspiracies, lay traps, and fabricate perjury to attack each other.
If they had not used a considerable part of their wisdom for internal fighting - the internal fighting between wise men in the same city, the open and secret fighting between wise men and diggers, and the internal fighting between cities and factions... I am afraid that there are already so many smart people in the underground world that the monarchs of other countries are frightened.
Once Neusel is activated and allowed to start moving underground... he will be discovered by wise men soon. If he is lucky, he can evacuate, but if he is not, he will die quickly. It can basically be said to be a one-time consumable.
In order to have important memories discovered after death, spies are almost never extraordinary... This is also one of the ways to determine the identity of a spy. But it also left these spies with almost no ability to resist when faced with assassination.
Although there are many diggers, their significance is actually equivalent to other fief nobles. If you want to activate this kind of high-level spy, you must personally give the order with the "Hand of Winter" level of "right middle finger" to avoid wastage.
Now only Annan can command Neuser.
But Annan has already decided.
——He won’t do this.
The Principality of Winter has no shortage of people like him...and Neusel is not just a spy, but also a friend of Annan. Also a trustworthy companion.
"...Let him live his life in peace first."
Annan whispered.
Mingming recognized Annan's identity a long time ago, but didn't say anything... Let's scare him the next time we meet.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a warm chuckle.
"Grand Duke, what did you say?"
Zhuo Ya on the side asked with some doubts.
"I was just looking for information about the Winterbreaker."
Without any concealment or deception, Annan explained to Zhuo Ya directly: "I suspect that there may be other truths hidden in the 'defection' incident of the Winter Defying Man.
"For example... could this be an exercise? Do we actually need the Winter Defiant to openly betray the Principality of Winter and infiltrate other forces as the 'Winter Defiance'?"
In other words, is this a counter-intuitive plan?
Hearing Annan's inquiry, Zhuo Ya was neither angry nor confused.
"This is the second day of your succession."
She just glanced at Annan subtly: "I didn't expect you to say it directly so early..."
"Because Aunt Zhuo Ya is the person involved. If Ivan has any speculations, Zhuo Ya should also know about it."
Annan spoke calmly, making a rational voice: "I am currently the most preferred person in the Principality of Winter, and this question may be a bit embarrassing, but it is not sensitive. Even if I ask the other 'Ten Fingers', at most I will be ignored. Just laugh at it.
“But if you are afraid of being laughed at and worry about saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing, you will miss the opportunity.”
Zhuo Ya is responsible for the internal affairs of Grand Duke Ivan all year round, and is the one who has been in contact with Ivan the longest among all the Hands of Winter.
There is no doubt that her opinion is of great reference value - if you do not trust her or think "this question is not necessary to ask", you hide it from this elder, resulting in information errors. Or if there is any misunderstanding that delays things, you are asking for trouble.
Since Annan was very young...when the teacher said, "Raise your hand if you don't understand", Annan never dared to raise his hand because he was worried about the atmosphere or other people's eyes.
As long as he doesn't understand, he must raise his hand.
As long as he doesn’t understand, he will definitely ask.
When encountering ambiguous answers ~IndoMTL.com~ Annan will never guess by himself, but will hold the other party for a heart-to-heart talk to confirm the other party's true psychology and infer what the other party's psychology was at that time. , why did he respond like this.
The reason why he can successfully see through other people's minds now is precisely because of the ability he developed at that time.
"So what's the answer?"
Annan asked: "Is [Winter Defying Man] one of our own?"
Although Zhuo Ya responded, she did not answer directly just now. She can't be the kind of person who is slow and soft-tempered, who doesn't know the priorities of her words and actions... So she is not going off topic, but trying to deliberately divert the topic.
However, Annan is not that easy to fool.
"...This issue may be a bit complicated."
"Then say it slowly. I think as the Grand Duke, I should have the right to know about this now, right?"
"——That's natural."
Zhuo Ya replied solemnly: "Of course you have the right to know everything... but I just want to say that all we know is the former 'Winter Defying Man'."
After she finished speaking, she was silent for a moment to collect her thoughts.
Then she replied:
"You guessed it right. At least initially, the 'Winter Defying Man' did defect on purpose. And his defection plan...
"...it's up to you to decide."
