Although I don't know what plan Old Crow wants to use "Kafni" to accomplish.
But Kaifuni's own power and cards are limited.
Her utilization value is nothing more than "the only daughter of the Fourth Prince", "the student of Nicholas Flamel", and "the friend of Annan Lingdong". No matter from which angle she is involved in the plan,
What follows will be a puddle of muddy water.
As Kaifuni's friend, Annan cannot allow this.
Kafni trusted herself and left all the issues regarding her teacher, mother, and her curse to be handled by herself... As long as there was a problem in one link, Annan would have no problem, but she herself might be beyond redemption.
Annan couldn't allow it to fall on his hands.
And Annan's words lightly threw away the pressure.
If Old Crow admits Annan's words, it means that they must act for this purpose and assassinate Kafni's mother. Otherwise, it means that "the king is trying to abandon Sir Silver's command and act alone."
And if Old Crow claims not to know about this matter, it means that they are no longer trusted by the king. The Crow family's intelligence gathering capabilities and political status are no longer enough to intervene in what is going to happen next.
In this way, they could not continue to ask Annan for other information about this matter, nor could they ask Annan for help in this regard. If he chose to remain silent, the result would be the same.
As long as he doesn't admit it, the one-eyed crow will also carry out the task of monitoring, capturing and even assassinating the princess. Then Annan has the right to refuse all his requests. This is a task assigned by Sir Silver. Are you trying to fight against Zhengshen by blocking me?
There is only one answer left for the old crow.
The old man smiled bitterly: "Why are you doing this... She doesn't want to return to the capital for the time being, so she won't come.
"The plan to assassinate Margaret has been laid out. The fourth prince talked to us after returning to the royal capital, allowed us to carry out the plan, left documents and evidence, and then erased the relevant memories."
But this only affects the aftermath.
His memory must have been deleted, so when Margaret was assassinated, the fourth prince was not allowed to have contact with him or learn about it.
Nolan continued.
"And in order to prevent the 'Dream Stealer' Denton from jumping over the wall and posing a threat to His Majesty or His Royal Highness Albert... Denton must be lured out.
"At least lead it away from His Highness Albert."
"……I understand."
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You plan to use Kafni as bait."
The Crow family knows everything.
He knew everything the fourth prince himself didn't know.
I'm afraid Denton has already been exposed.
However, it cannot be eliminated.
Gold-level extraordinary beings are especially soul-stealing wizards.
As long as you have a conversation with him, your memory will be easily read and modified. Even if you can control the contact between the extraordinary person and His Majesty the King, if he jumps over the wall in a hurry, who knows he will kill and drive several people crazy.
Even if the memories of several ministers are wiped clean and the secrets buried in their hearts are erased, the whole of Noah may be in turmoil.
A gold-level transcendent who broke into the palace was far more dangerous than a bomb. So even though Crow had seen everything, he didn't dare to take action.
Because there is only one chance to stop him.
Once it fails...the results will be devastating.
During the conversation, Nolan had already brought Annan into the basement and closed the door behind him.
"Please feel free to sit somewhere... You also know that there is only one 'Dream Stealer'. No one knows how far he can do it. The only thing that is certain is that he cannot modify the memories of people he has not come into contact with.
"
Nolan sat on the sofa, put his hands on his knees, and said calmly: "The safety of the fourth prince, the safety of His Majesty, and the safety of the kingdom's senior officials are always more important than the safety of his daughter."
After hearing this, Annan sat on the sofa on the side, and Eugene Geraint sat next to him.
Annan was not angry at all against such indifferent words.
From Nolan's point of view, he did exactly the right thing.
As long as the dismantling fails, a disaster that will at least cause chaos in the entire kingdom, if a little girl with no special skills can be used as a bait, it can be eliminated... Even if this little girl is the king's granddaughter, he
There's nothing that can't be done.
But right is right.
"In this world, not everything has to be done in the most correct way."
Annan smiled gently: "Just being correct is not enough. I strive to achieve...perfection."
His face was calm but full of confidence.
The dull green pupils reflected the light, giving people such a bright feeling.
"...As expected of you."
After a moment of silence, Nolan sighed: "It would be great if an outstanding young man like you could be born in Noah."
"It's not impossible..."
At this moment, Eugene on the side suddenly spoke.
Nolan suddenly looked stunned when he heard this, and showed a searching gaze: "That's right.
"In this way, it seems that you and Your Highness Kafni..."
"..."
Annan was silent for a moment.
Absolutely.
Is there another pit here?
...some miscalculation.
As expected of an old crow...it's just layers of calculations.
He didn't believe that this was Eugene's quick wit. If Nolan didn't allow him to speak, how could a smart man like him dare to change the topic to such a strange place when Annan was talking about business with his father?
As long as Annan retaliates against his previous words, forces Old Crow to take sides immediately, and exposes their plan... Nolan's words will come out sooner or later.
Because being a "friend" doesn't seem to be enough to explain Annan doing so many things for Kaifuni.
It is in their interest to use a girl as a bait to abduct the unstable bomb or the fourth prince himself; on the other hand, it is also in their interest to use this girl to lure out the sole heir of the Principality of Winter and the future grandmother.
Being tied to Noah’s chariot by a subordinate god seems to be a good benefit?
His Majesty the King has always dreamed of unifying the five countries and rebuilding the Great Barrier.
If you can get married to Winter, it seems that this goal can be regarded as a quarter in advance...
Winter is a "traditional place", and the customs are different from those of other countries. Even if you are a grand duke, you can only have one husband and one wife.
...Although Kaifuni is indeed cute.
But he must never give in in front of the old crow. Unlike Annan's "declaration of weakness" before, if he really admitted this, it would mean that a huge weakness of his was caught in the claws of such an old crow.
Annan just replied calmly: "This is just an agreement I made with her.
"You don't know this."
"...an old promise?"
Hearing this, the old crow was startled for a moment.
Annan nodded seriously: "When she asks for help, I will rescue her. This is my promise as a man."
"That's it..."
The old crow was silent for a while and nodded slightly: "I understand.
"Did it happen when you and His Highness Dmitry came to visit?"
The old man asked curiously.
He obviously didn't know much about the content of this agreement.
But it's normal for him not to know.
Because there is no such agreement at all.
This is currently compiled by Annan.
Annan asked back: "I'm actually very curious... I have never heard of 'that old crow is actually a cardinal of a certain god'.
"I have answered so many of your questions. Can you satisfy my curiosity? I just want to know which god a big man like you will serve?"
"It's not that hard to say. If you ask Merlin Manning's biological brother, he will tell you directly."
Nolan smiled gently and replied: "I am a follower of Lady Silence's god of records and secret-keeping, the 'Faceless Poet'."
