The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 237: Curse of Living Corpses
"Player Super Justice ()"
——The Melvin family is the biggest rebellion.
This is definitely the truth that can only be told under duress and urgency.
It may be a bit exaggerated, but it is never false...
This is one of the truths that Annan wants to get from her through destructive means.
Except for Rasputin, the only nobles in the Principality of Winter who have gold-level extraordinary beings are the Melvin family.
But whether it was the previous rebellions or the attacks that Annan suffered later... their family was too quiet.
Generally speaking, as the holder of an extremely rare and strategic gold-level transcendent, will he always be so quiet when encountering such a national-level event?
And they just want to be quiet.
Hand of Winter really asked them to stay quietly.
No one checked them, no one doubted them. Just like every time a disaster occurs, everyone subconsciously forgets about the Melvin family.
As Annan speculated before——
What is the purpose of the betrayal of the Winter Defying Man?
What is his purpose? What is the need for this? What's the reason he hasn't come back yet?
There is only one answer.
——His mission is far from complete.
Annan has roughly guessed one of the purposes.
That is the penetration of the underground world.
The "Winter Defying Man" has a great reputation, outstanding abilities, and ruthless methods. After he came to the underground world, he quickly raised an armed force from the underground and essentially controlled multiple cities.
If he is still the Hand of Winter in the Principality of Winter, then this approach will undoubtedly be jointly condemned by other countries - it is undoubtedly a kind of aggression.
But after he launched the rebellion... no matter what the truth was, from the outside world he was the initiator of the rebellion. Then even if it is for political asylum, the underground world cannot prevent him from forming his own force.
——Because he is trying to protect himself.
And in the underground world, the original political structure was also very loose. Obtaining the title of "Digger" by purchasing discovery rights, and then gaining control of a certain city, this is not the first time that Defying Winter has done this.
——They can do it, but I can’t?
In addition to this purpose.
The remaining purpose may be related to the Melvin family.
"...what did you say?"
Even Selicia couldn't help but be surprised by these words: "That's not what you said when you first came here."
Especially, she considers herself rebellious in front of the next generation of the Duke of Winter - although Euphemia still doesn't know that "Ai Lei" is Annan, but Selicia does.
"Because that's a lie."
Euphemia Melvin looked bitter: "I cannot escape from my family just to pursue freedom.
"Do you know... all the descendants of the Melvin family, except for the son of God who succeeded the 'God on Earth', the rest are just tools to pass on the bloodline. Since we are tools, naturally we will not Learn 'human' skills."
In order to preserve their divinity, the children of the Melvin family have been kept away from the world since their birth. Activities such as planting, cooking, forging, hunting, etc. are absolutely not allowed to be done, or even learned - no books covering this area are allowed to be touched.
Among the many knowledges in the world, the only ones that the children of the Melvin family are allowed to learn are "the knowledge of killing and saving people"...that is, assassination and medical treatment.
However, it is only limited to "learning".
It is impossible for the Melvin family to really let them do this. The reason is that they are worried that external forces will interfere with their "cultivation"...and whether it is killing people or saving people, there will always be a "target" for performing skills.
The other party's words, actions, eyes... may shake Shen Zhi'er's divinity and drag him into the world.
Although this move is to cultivate divinity, it also cuts off the possibility of the children of the Melvin family escaping from the family - they have never been exposed to any knowledge related to the eternal world.
Not to mention making money, they don’t even know what is edible and what is not edible; they don’t even know what poison is, what is the shelf life of food, or what kind of food is made. Edible.
I don’t even have the skills to buy things...where can I buy something and at what price? In other words, they don’t even know that “this thing can be purchased”, let alone have money on them.
For example, the children of the Melvin family are like being entrusted with accounts by friends who play EVE - they are confused after opening the game.
What is this? What is that? What am I going to do? What are they doing?
——Achieving this level can be called "away from the world".
"However, the children of the Melvin family are by no means stupid. It is very difficult to cultivate intelligence under such harsh conditions... In order to strengthen children's understanding and logical thinking, simply Education is not enough. Special potions are needed to abstract their thinking."
Euphemia explained in a low voice.
To put it simply...
The Melvin children ate too many "nutritional products", which made everyone very smart.
"So we naturally know that if we leave the family, then even life will become difficult... To say it is difficult is an understatement. But even so, there are always people running away from the family. You haven't seen it, It's because... they are all dead.
“The family is originally good at the magic of the Idol School. If they cannot escape fast enough and far enough, they can just use the common items left at home to curse the betrayer... No matter whether it is unauthorized. Allowing one to escape from the family, or leaking the family's rules to others, is considered a form of 'betrayal'."
"It would be too much to just curse him to death..."
"Ai Lei" frowned slightly when he heard this: "And, betrayal of the 'family'? Just leaving the family, can it be considered a betrayal?"
Isn't this too harsh a move?
And with this damningly strict clan system, Annan immediately sensed something was wrong.
——Is this level of patriarchal clan really just for inheriting the "god on earth"?
"But that's exactly what happened."
Euphemia smiled bitterly: "That's why I planned to escape... It's precisely because of ~IndoMTL.com~ that Lily used that method to help me escape from the family."
"As far as I know...that 'Professor Wolf' Frederick is also from your family, right?"
"Ai Lei" asked: "How did he escape?"
Although Annan has long known that today's "Professor Wolf" Frederick Wolfheart is actually "Dream Eater" Trissino Seti.
But he still planned to ask, maybe he could get some answers in other directions.
"He faked his death to escape."
Euphemia quickly replied: "I have studied his techniques. He made himself die once so that the ritual that cursed him could not be accurately positioned. Then he wore the 'Dead But Not Dead' on himself. Bones', introducing the curse into it.
"On the one hand, he can also use this method to get rid of positioning and curse killing. At the same time, he can also use this method to create a large number of curses."
...Just like "The Scammer and the Preacher"?
Annan asked: "What is [the dying body]?"
Hearing this, Euphemia was silent for a moment.
"...This is why I say that the Melvin family is the biggest rebel."
She slowly took off her mask.
Revealing a handsome face that is 45% similar to Frederick's.
The biggest difference with Frederick.
In the center of her forehead, there is a green triangular rune with the tip pointing downward. There is another dark green triangle inlaid in the middle of the triangular rune, dividing it into four parts.
At this moment, the rune is still glowing faintly - no doubt, this is the reason why she always wears a mask.
"This is the Curse of the Living Corpse. If I die while carrying it, I will become a 'dying skeleton'."
