Gryaznoha.

The first time Annan heard this name was when he first entered "Nightmare: Gallery".

He had seen some banned books in Amos's study at that time.

Among them, in "There is Danger in Belief in These Gods", Annan saw the name Glyaznuha Rindong for the first time.

In this book, Gryaznuha trumpeted the Skeleton King as an ancient god of the Third Age. His original words were "a new false god that appeared in the Third Age." In fact, if the entire kingdom of giants were included,

Historically speaking, it almost certainly began in the Third Age.

However, as an individual, Mr. Bones actually only lived for a few hundred years.

This disguise is obviously to create a sense of security for the readers: "He has lived for so long, someone else must have used this ritual, and if something happened, he would have become an evil god long ago."

Later, Gryaznuha wrote in this book that "the rituals of the Skeleton Lord are all deceptive, and every time you perform a ritual, you will pay more for the next time." On the other hand, he wrote "Every time you perform a ritual, you will pay more.

How to choose the strategy with the highest profit during the ritual, and how to cut off the ritual after it takes effect.

This gives people the illusion that although Bone Master's ritual is very dangerous, if I follow the content in this book and strictly follow the guide, then I can get the benefits without paying the price.

But of course this is impossible.

If there is such a good thing, it is definitely not something that a newcomer who has just come into contact with mysterious knowledge can understand; to take a step back, if the content in this book is correct, the Bone Master is not a fool.

This kind of printed version of the "bestseller" has long been spread all over the world. It is not a handwritten original. When you see that it is a printed version and even has a publishing house, you should know that many people have tried it.

And tried to pluck out the wool.

He is not a unique genius. After seeing the tempting description in this book, wouldn't everyone else do it? Is he the only one who is special?

And if so many people successfully harvested the wool, wouldn't Duke Skeleton modify the conditions of the ceremony?

This Skeleton Man is not the Wool Man, and his power is not unlimited. How could a mortal who can become a god be an idiot who has been deceived by others infinitely? Where did he get so much wool to harvest?

But of course these deluded ritual masters would not think this way.

In a sense, on the one hand, this book is spreading the ritual of contacting the Skeleton Lord, and on the other hand, it is also doing preliminary screening.

Most of the people who come into contact with Mr. Skeleton because of the content in this book are arrogant and brainless people who think "I am the only one special in the world."

They either never thought that other people could also obtain this knowledge; or they thought that they were different from those people, and if it were them, they would definitely not be deceived.

Therefore, the knowledge above is completely correct as far as the text content is concerned. Otherwise, it would not have been approved, and a regular publishing house would have published it, which means that the publisher is responsible for the text content.

In fact, there are indeed similar rituals and magical techniques that can directly determine whether others are lying and whether they have truly mastered a certain ability.

Since this book can be published, it means that its author has passed the review. Then he does have similar knowledge, and at least "literally", these are the truth.

But as to whether there is any part hidden...

That is inevitable.

According to the rules of occult books, books that can be published publicly must not completely tell all the occult knowledge... The specific bottom line is that after reading this book, at least no new wild ritualists can be cultivated.

This means that Gryaznuha has already processed this knowledge, making it impossible for newcomers to use the content in this book.

Then, it is actually not the "original canon", but the "pseudocanon".

If Amos was aware of this, he would definitely not hold the ceremony so rashly.

However, its name as a "banned book" deceived him.

This is obviously because more than ten years after it was published, someone realized that the book was full of lies. In order to prevent others from being deceived, the book was banned.

As a result, Amos confirmed that since it was banned, the content written in it must be good things!

Therefore, Amos did not share the contents of this book with anyone.

Before performing the ceremony, he did not ask any professional... no matter whether it was any wizard or ritual master for their opinions and suggestions, just for fear that others would snatch the book.

After all, Amos himself is a mortal, and this was found from the relics of his wife, the dark wizard.

Although here, Amos's stupidity and greed cannot be washed away.

He also paid the price for everything he did.

However, the blame cannot be placed on the victim just because of the stupidity of the deceiver. The culprit of all this is, after all, the leader of the scam...that is, Gryaznuha.

Those who were "removed" were Winters of a certain generation. Being able to have their surname removed was already a first-class crime in Winters... not only legally, but also morally.

But Gryaznuha still named himself "Winter", which means that he believed that he was not wrong.

In terms of specific generation, he can probably be regarded as Annan's grandfather. He is of the same generation as Ivan's father.

Gryaznuha has been living outside for so many years, and he should have given birth to some children... These children all have the blood heir curse of the "Heart of Winter", and theoretically they can also pick up the Three Sirens.

As early as the Northern Alliance rebellion, Annan had actually suspected once... Could it be that the reason those guys were causing trouble was not to seize power from Demetri, but to defect to the country that also owned the Principality of Winter?

The claiming guy?

After all, because of the old grandmother, it is unrealistic for someone other than "Winter" to serve as the Grand Duke. When the old grandmother wakes up, the usurper will pay the price immediately.

But if Grand Duke Lindong is still surnamed Lindong, then this is just a family matter. They just defected to one of the Lindong families, rather than rebelling and seizing power. This means that even if they are liquidated, they can only use family law, not

It's national law.

And from another perspective...

According to the news from Euphemia, Annan learned that the Melvin family relied on Silu to continuously draw power from the Bone Lord.

When Lord Skeleton disappeared from this world, Annan once thought whether the Melvin family would not be able to draw any power because of this?

But if we say that the backstage of the Melvin family has been Gryaznuha from the very beginning...

That means that they are not enemies, but allies. The process of stealing the power of Bones Lord is not unknown to Bones Lord.

"……I see."

Annan suddenly recalled the first time he met Lord Skeleton.

After he found out that Annan was a frost descendant, his tone became friendly. He also called Annan "Annan·Frost Whisperer" and said that "sooner or later he will be Frost Whisperer".

It is indeed true that when Annan dies, he will transform from the Winter Folk into the Frostwhisper Dragon.

But if we say that this good impression is not because of his good relationship with the old grandmother, and this title is not based on the perspective of the deceased, but because the Pope of the Skeleton Lord has been Gryaznuha Rindong from the beginning, or in other words

...Where is Gryaznuha Frostwhisper?

[The deal I made with my old grandmother led me to follow the young dragon here]

[He asked me to protect the Frost Whisperers]

The content of this transaction was approved by Sir Silver. Moreover, Sir Silver said that this was something he "only heard a few days ago."

Then here comes the problem.

The old grandmother knew many gods, so why would she entrust Annan's safety to a false god?

And why is it the Bone Man?

This "following the young dragon to this place" obviously refers to letting the Skeleton Lord go from the Frozen Water Port to Fort Ross to protect Annan from the Corrupt Man.

But Annan remembered very clearly that there was no snow in Frozen Water Port at that time. In other words, the old grandmother who was half asleep and half awake should not be able to contact the Skeleton Man who had no direct relationship with her.

How did Mr. Bones learn about this?

"finally, I understand……"

All these clues were connected in series, and Annan finally understood everything.

The old grandmother's order was obviously not passed directly to Duke Skeleton, but to Gryaznuha!

Gryaznuha dared to claim the surname of Lindong, which was obviously approved by his grandmother. The "elders" who gave orders to the Lindong family were not squires from a small village. It was not that he was hiding and not returning to Lindong.

problems that can be solved.

But the serious god, the ancestor of the dragon!

This shows that he must have committed some crime that is unforgivable from the perspective of the Winter Family and the Principality of Winter, but is not a big deal to the old grandmother. So much so that now, someone has organized a "

Rebels".

Whether it is the Northland nobles or Melvin... they have obviously defected to Gryaznuha!

In other words, Gryaznuha himself has the idea and ability to become the Duke of Winter. There are no fools in the Melvin family, and he can be recognized by them; which shows that the possibility of this plan is not weak.

Gryaznoha himself must be found.

Annan had this thought in his mind.

Only by finding Gryaznuha himself can everything that Winter faces be truly ended and Winter usher in the spring that has been missing for decades.

Then the problem at hand has changed from a "little thing" where the nobles were stupid and tried to improve their status, to a big problem of "the former prince seizing the throne".

"I thought that after Mr. Bones died, his influence on the world would completely disappear..."

Annan lowered his eyes.

A bright light shone from his eyes.

"I didn't expect that I actually ignored such important news."

He walked up to Count Melvin, reached out and patted his forehead, and said softly: "Relax, I don't want to kill you here... You should accept the justice of the law in front of the people.
To be continued...
