That was a few years ago, not long after Dmitri's accident...
In that bet with God, Dmitry, who lost the bet, was forced to lose his ability to have offspring... He also lost the right to inherit the Principality of Winter.
Although this matter was kept strictly confidential, the public opinion was that he was cursed "because of the plot of Fufu".
Of course, this is not considered deception. Even the command spell can only judge that it is a truth. Because Dmitry will fail, it is indeed Fufu’s conspiracy-in the end, his "bet" was also collected by Fufu.
Go.
Others may wonder why Rofu dared to directly attack the direct blood descendants of Zhenggami.
But they can only hide this doubt in their hearts.
After all...that's a rotten husband!
Although everyone knows that we should be more respectful to the gods, but even the gods obviously have differences...
As for Fufu, it wouldn't be surprising if he did anything.
They will only regard Dmitri as a poor man who was attacked. No one knows what great deeds he performed when he was young——
But he failed in the end.
As a result, he was forced to hand over the responsibilities that originally rested on his shoulders to his younger brother.
Of course, he doesn't blame Annan.
Dmitri knew very well that Annan's plan was indeed correct and effective——
His abilities are simply not comparable to his father's.
Even the precocious Annan is completely inferior to Ivan Winter.
Although there is the interference of [Heart of Winter], he is still able to show sympathy to others. He can use the power in his hands rationally and cautiously, but he never misjudges any crime - a reward and punishment
The king who is clear, considerate of the people, and always rational has the love and trust of the common people, and the recognition and awe of the nobles. This is also the reason why only one-third of the young people left when the Duchy fell into winter this time.
With only one and a half legions still able to participate in the war, they were able to rely on geographical advantages and command advantages to fend off Noah's invasion many times... Although Dmitri didn't know why Noah's king wanted to invade Lin.
Dong, why did they suddenly reconcile in the end?
In the end, a peace treaty was signed without paying any price except for the frozen water port - even this frozen water port made the Noahs a little uneasy... but it drove a nail in the opposite direction.
The winter side paid almost no price, but the Kingdom of Noah was tortured.
Even when he took over the Principality of Winter in the "Winter Year", Ivan did not complain at all. He even managed the country in an orderly manner, creating the lowest death rate in winter years in history. For the first time, immigrants even returned home before the winter year was over.
Case.
But Ivan may be so good that he is jealous...
He has an incurable terminal disease.
The reason why it is said to be untreatable is because the "disease" itself was acquired because Ivan was too good... It is more like a gift than a disease.
His natural ability [Heart of Winter] has long since evolved to its final form [Blood of Winter] at the same level as his grandmother.
This is the core mystery that remains from the beginning of the world.
It is the ultimate meaning of truth carried in the blood of the old grandmother.
If Ivan was a gold-level transcendent, he might be able to use this power to transform himself into a dragon.
——But the problem is that Ivan is not even an extraordinary person.
Because he knew himself very clearly and knew that he did not have such strong desires and obsessions at all, so he would definitely not be able to set foot on gold. Since he knew that he could not reach the limit, Grand Duke Ivan never embarked on this road from the beginning.
But it is simply not a force that a mortal body can bear.
The result is that Ivan is plagued by illness and will suddenly lose body temperature every three days. This is still the relatively mild winter blood in Ivan's body... If Ivan's blood is splashed on his body, it will immediately cause liquid nitrogen to wash his face.
Severe frostbite.
The Winter clan can withstand almost all types of damage, but only "frost" damage can kill them.
...However, as long as the old grandmother wakes up, Ivan may be saved.
The old grandmother's "dragon sleep" is a sacred contract made when she ascended and cannot be violated.
But each time the dragon sleeps, it cannot last more than eighty years.
As long as Ivan can live another thirty years, he may be saved.
But obviously he couldn't bear it anymore.
Grand Duke Ivan's mobility became worse and worse, and he would occasionally vomit blood, with ice in the blood; he would become hypothermic once every two days on average - his speech would become slurred, his body would shake violently, and his thinking would suddenly become confused, like
It's like Alzheimer's disease.
He could only recover by relying on the emergency treatment provided by the accompanying ritual master.
But the Grand Duke who was able to go to the front line and supervise the war with high spirits could not come back.
Annan judged that this was because Ivan possessed extraordinary power at the level of truth, but his mortal body could not contain it...
Among the many gods, the Cup Girl can keep a person's memory and regress back to a newborn baby; the Pale Princess can transform a person into a sane ghost; the Moth Mother can make another person inherit all the person's memories; the rotten husband can
Let mortals obtain "immortal bodies"...these are all ways to solve the problem.
The first target they selected was Fufu.
This is also the most complete solution - as long as you can win the bet.
In order to formally complete his ritual, Fufu must find seven sacrifices. He dare not touch the people of the Winter Principality. There is no king in the Underground Federation, and the "king" of the Theocracy is the Pope of the seven righteous gods.
Even if the rotfu completed the ritual in the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Noah, the number would still be far from enough.
He had to accept the bet Dmitry placed:
He used his "royal blood" to summon the immortal and heirless god Fu Fu and wager with him.
If Dmitri wins, then Fufu will give the best Duke of Winter "Ivan III" the power of immortality, and use the power of immortality that is also at the truth level to resolve this power;
And if Dmitri loses, then the rotten husband will take away Dmitri's fertility.
If you lose the bet, only one undead will be added. This is equivalent to adding an undead of the same level as yourself - the last step of the rotten man's sublimation ceremony is to kill all the undead except himself, but for now
In other words, every time there is an undead, his power will also increase by a certain amount. So it can be regarded as a win-win situation.
And as long as you win the bet, you can directly help Fu Fu complete a sublimation ceremony.
No matter the pros or cons.
It's just that Dmitri's own ability was insufficient, so he hesitated for a moment at the last moment... and lost to Fu Fu.
Originally, Dmitri had to consider other methods.
Can I negotiate with other righteous gods in exchange for this miraculous power?
Although he doesn't know any rituals, his younger brother Annan does.
Annan always knew everything.
He just needs to pay the price.
Whether it's fertility or lifespan, kidneys, hair or skin...if you want to take it, feel free to take it.
Why so free and easy?
Just because Dmitry Winter is never afraid of "giving".
He is not a supernatural being...nor a ritualist.
——He is my grandmother's bishop. He will be a cardinal in the future. If the bishops believe in him, he will also be my grandmother's pope.
Ever since Dmitry was a child, he had sworn to devote his entire soul to all living beings.
The flesh and blood body that belonged to him... there was no room for it in the path that Dmitri was destined to take.
