The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 158: Save me, I’m going to be killed.jpg

Doreen never imagined that the person she had attacked was actually the only heir to the Principality of Winter... the legendary Annan Winter!

When she realized that "Ghirandaio" was Annan Winter, Doreen was so frightened that she forgot to breathe. It had been almost two days now, and she still felt dizzy in her head.

Assaulting the Winter Clan - Even if he is not a werewolf, this is undoubtedly a felony.

Although Doreen is a werewolf, she was also born in winter.

She naturally knew that the frost beasts must be restrained by the Winter clan.

And she had studied with the teacher... Although she did not become a transcendent, she also knew that there was a need for a victim of the Winter clan on the Tower of Storms every few decades.

It can be said that the Winter clan is the guardian of the Winter Principality. Anyone with the surname "Lindong" will be respected by everyone.

The needs of the nobles and civilians in the Principality of Winter are completely separated.

The nobles, especially the local nobles, do not have a very good attitude towards the Winter family. The main reason may be the "Hand of Winter's" nationwide surveillance and the tightening of laws resulting from this move.

This significantly reduced the privileges of the nobles.

Not all nobles are as ignorant of human emotions as the Lindong family. If they have a joyful heart and a feeling of joy, they will naturally have desires.

To wealth, to the opposite sex, to power...even to food. In winter, resources are scarce and all enjoyment is tightened, which naturally makes the nobles dissatisfied.

——You can’t taste the delicious food yourself, so how can you let us live a simple life with your family? No matter how tight the resources are, they will definitely be enough for the nobles.

These nobles control the operation of the principality.

Economy, education, industry, fishing and hunting, military... these all require a large number of talents to manage. The resources of the Principality of Winter are already scarce, and it is almost impossible to ensure that everyone is not hungry. Even if you want to give them higher wages, it can only be a drop in the bucket.

As a result, using power for personal gain has become a quite common phenomenon in the principality.

But Grand Duke Winter’s attitude is quite tough.

The Grand Duke naturally has his strong confidence. Although these nobles are in charge of the operation of the principality...but what the Winter clan represents is the survival of the principality.

Even if the power of the Winter clan is infinitely diluted, it must still exist - otherwise the frost beast army will be unable to resist.

The main responsibility of the Hands of Winter in various places is not to face foreign countries, but to face the country. Wizards are naturally one of the main targets of surveillance, because wizards have many methods and are very easy to commit crimes...especially smuggling, theft and murder. But the number of wizards is small after all.

The main work of the Hand of Winter is to target local nobles...especially places that are far away from Frost Whisper Province and difficult to supervise.

Monitor abnormal inflows and outflows of money, prevent illegal transactions and extravagance, investigate and solidify evidence in the face of abuse of power... and when they are about to commit treason, call evil gods, kill innocent people, and assassinate other nobles or saints. When professionals are waiting for dangerous actions, emergency unconventional means are allowed - killing the target directly without reporting it.

Of course the nobles will be dissatisfied with this tough surveillance method.

Especially when comparing the treatment of nobles in other countries, it is natural to become even more dissatisfied.

During the three-year "Icebreaker Rebellion", the main investors of the Icebreaker Army...were these local nobles.

The purpose of the Icebreaker Army is not exactly the same - even the most extreme nobles do not want the Winter Clan to disappear completely.

After all, compared with the law-abiding Winter family... organizations like the Icebreaker Army, which have their own desires but also have the means to control frost beasts, are even more difficult to trust.

All winter people know that frost beasts are very dangerous things.

Even when parents scare their children, they will say, "If you don't sleep, a frost beast will crawl in and lick you." Ordinary people may go crazy just once if they are licked by a frost beast.

Different from the horror legends in other countries... Frost beasts can be seen everywhere.

As long as you leave the small barrier and go out for a walk, you can basically encounter frost beasts everywhere - the frequency is about the same as encountering wild beasts in the wild during a good year. After all, any beast can be transformed into a frost beast.

So this kind of horror seems particularly "lifelike". On the contrary, no one would dare to commit suicide or challenge.

So, no one wants to let the Winter family disappear...unless they can also get the technology to control the frost beasts.

The best situation is to secretly obtain the Icebreaker Army's technology to control the frost beasts; if this step is not possible, then it is best to ask the Archduke to dissolve the Hand of Winter; if this step is still not possible, then attack Winter It is also possible to reduce the family's prestige and weaken their power.

This is what the nobles in these places think.

But it's different from them.

On the contrary, the people of the Principality of Winter loved their Grand Duke even more.

It is precisely because everyone believes that only the Winter family is the absolutely just ruler. Therefore, no matter how strict the laws and regulations are, no matter how unacceptable the government orders are, they can still be implemented reluctantly.

...But if it were another person, that wouldn't necessarily be the case.

The actions of those local nobles who abused their power for personal gain and were dealt with fairly by the Hand of Winter only strengthened the status of Archduke Winter in the hearts of the local people.

One of the reasons why the Icebreakers failed was that the people generally did not support or even be hostile to their rebellion. During the three years of rebellion, the Icebreaker Army has never received any resource supplies from any civilian forces; and their ranks have almost not expanded at all.

It is precisely because people trust the Winter clan.

Especially the Grand Duke of this generation, Ivan Winter——

Whether it is military, economic, religious or political, Ivan is a rare Ming army.

If the Ice Breaking Rebellion and Frostbite Disaster had not happened during his term, it might have lasted for another ten years. By then, the destructive power to the economy will not be as small as it is now... Neither Noah, the Theocracy, nor the United Kingdom can be as restrained as it is now.

Among all the children of Grand Duke Ivan, the most famous is Dmitry, the eldest.

But if you know more about the political situation of the Principality of Cold Winter, you will know that Annan Coldong is the real heir. ~IndoMTL.com~ Legend has it that the most talented ritual master in history was sent to other countries as a missionary at the age of eight. Although he is affected by the Heart of Winter, he still has a kind of magical charm - so much so that he can establish friendship with more than twenty gods.

Just hearing his legend made Doreen unbelievable.

If "Captain in the Stone" Selicia is the legend of the underground people, then Annan is the legend of the winter people.

——Annan was also her idol!

Dorine never imagined that she, with such a humble status, would be so close to the legendary Annan... and even spent the night in the same room.

Too many things confused her mind.

When she learned that Annan wanted to take her to Frostwhisper, Doreen refused of course.

Of course it’s because of timidity.

She was frightened just by going underground and meeting so many strange strangers every day. I stay in my house every day and don't dare to go out.

Want to enter Frostwhisper Province?

That is the center of power in the country! The core of the entire Principality of Winter...and she was just a werewolf.

Dolin's refusal and resistance were naturally ineffective in front of Annan.

Her current status is, after all, she is still Annan’s prisoner.

However, when she thought that she was taken back as a trophy... Doreen seemed to be less resistant and less afraid.

But now, after entering the Grand Duke's Mansion.

Doreen stood at the door of the Grand Duke's room, feeling uneasy.

She felt the cold and slightly hostile gazes coming from all directions, and Doreen couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

——I just said don’t come!

Help me, I'm going to be killed!

"Doreen, come in, too."

Suddenly, Annan's indifferent voice sounded from inside.

"Woo——"

Doreen was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
