This is definitely the truth that can only be told under duress and desperation.
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.
Apart from 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 has examined them, and no one has doubted them. Just like every time a disaster occurs, everyone subconsciously forgets about the Melvin family.
Just as Annan had speculated before——
What is the purpose of the Winter Defying One's betrayal?
What is his purpose? What is the necessity of doing this? What is the reason why he has not come back yet?
There is only one answer.
——His mission is far from complete.
One of the purposes was roughly guessed by Annan.
That is infiltration into the underworld.
The "Winter Counter" 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 many cities.
The small book kiosk that book lovers used before has been discontinued, and now they are basically using the source-changing artifact app.
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. So even for political asylum, the underground world could not stop him from forming his own force.
——Because he is trying to protect himself.
Moreover, in the underground world, the original political structure is 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 the Winter Defender 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 Celicia couldn't help but be surprised by these words: "That's not what you said when you first came here."
Especially, admitting to be rebellious in front of the next generation of the Duke of Winter - Although Euphemia still doesn't know that "Ai Lei" is Annan, Selicia does.
"Because that's a lie."
Euphemia Melvin looked bitter: "I can't 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 to belong to '
Man's craft."
In order to preserve their divinity, the children of the Melvin family have been kept away from the world since their birth. They are not allowed to do such things as planting, cooking, forging, hunting, etc., and they are not even allowed to learn——
You can't touch any books on this subject.
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 "nurturing"...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 all shake Shen Zhi'er's divinity and drag him into the mortal 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; they don’t even know what poison is, what is the shelf life of food, and what kind of food is edible.
.
They don't even have the skills to buy things... where can I buy something and what is the approximate price? In other words, they don't even know "this thing can be purchased", let alone have money with them.
For example, the children of the Melvin family are like being entrusted with their account by a friend who plays EVE - they are confused when they open the game.
What is this? What is that? What am I going to do? What are they doing?
——Achieving this level can be called "far 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, simple education is not
Enough. A special potion is needed to make his thinking abstract."
Euphemia explained in a low voice.
simply put……
It's the Melvin children who 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 because...
…They are all dead.
"The family is already good at the magic of the Idol School. If they can't escape fast enough or far enough, just using common items left at home can be enough to curse the traitor... No matter if he escapes from the family without permission,
, or leaking the family's rules to others is considered a type of 'betrayal'."
"It would be too..."
"Ai Lei" frowned slightly after hearing this: "And, betrayal of the 'family'? Just leaving the family, can it be considered a betrayal?"
Isn't this too harsh a move?
Moreover, with this damningly strict clan system, Annan noticed something was wrong almost immediately.
——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 this 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 this question, 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 and Not Dead Skeleton' on himself,
Import 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 cursed objects."
...just like "scammers and preachers"?
Annan asked: "What is [the dying body] again?"
Upon 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 was 45% similar to Frederick's.
And the biggest difference with Frederick.
In the center of her forehead, there is a green triangular rune with the tip pointing downward. There is also another dark green triangle inlaid in the center of the triangular rune, dividing it into four parts.
At this moment, the rune was still glowing faintly - no doubt, this was the reason why she always wore a mask.
"This is the Curse of the Living Corpse. If I die while carrying it, I will become a 'dying corpse'."
