At least when Annan made up his mind and planned to get involved - or far before that, when he was first involved, the situation had already been changed by his presence.
Rather...
Annan pondered.
What if this "coincidence" happened before I got involved?
Because no one is omniscient, and no one can describe everything completely objectively.
Perhaps what Euphemia said is indeed everything she knows, but this does not necessarily represent the most complete truth.
What she knows may not be the deepest truth.
For example, Euphemia didn't know about the existence of the Eternal Principality... let alone the fact that the Eternal Principality had been played by the same person for a long, long time.
The technique that the Melvin family is best at is the "law of similarity" in the idol school.
Then maybe the situation of the Eternal Principality is not consistent with the Melvin family...
But does the inheritance of the "God on Earth" directly come from the "Law of Similarity" imitating the Kingdom of Eternal Life?
This is not impossible - or in other words, Annan believes that this is the deepest truth.
Using a one-time gold level to create a force capable of resisting the frost beast troops...it's a waste no matter how you think about it. They can't go around in such a long circle just to gain combat effectiveness.
Then, what they need... is probably other uses for gold-level extraordinary beings.
This kind of use cannot be known based on Euphemia's authority.
Think about it again...the eternal kingdom buried in history.
It was also the place where the first "lawless god" in history was born who could shape the truth by himself without relying on the Book of Truth. This custom itself is powerful and very reasonable.
And if this tradition created by the Melvin family is fundamentally to achieve overlap with the Eternal Principality.
So……
"...Do they want the throne of Lord Bones?"
Annan murmured.
According to Euphemia, the Melvin family has been concentrating on making life and death chrysalis... If this custom extends to hundreds of years, then they would be too useless and too wasteful to accumulate these things.
I will tolerate it.
Annan prefers that this tradition did not last long.
A dozen dead pupae and a three-digit number of living remains.
According to Annan's investigation... As the largest wizard family in the Principality of Winter, the Melvin family, including its branches, will have about thirty heirs every ten years. And the heir with the qualification of "God on Earth" may even be
No one can be found in ten years... Only one appears every twenty or thirty years.
That "three digits" doesn't sound like a lot. Otherwise, Euphemia would have said "more than two hundred" or "more than three hundred."
This is just like claiming to have a five-digit income, which is usually just over 10,000; claiming to be from BAT, most of the time it is the B in BAT...
If Euphemia is not exaggerating, then this is more than thirty years of savings - since Euphemia was a child, that is, Annan's mother's generation has more than a hundred living skeletons, then going up
Counting more than thirty years...
"...It was almost sixty years ago."
Annan murmured: "If there are about a hundred living remains, the shortest time may even be less than fifty years."
According to Annan's knowledge, the exact time the Melvin family last changed their "God on Earth" was 1451.
And now it's 1504.
In other words, the last time the God of the World was changed was about fifty years ago... If it was said that he only started doing this from his generation, then it would be basically correct.
……Wait a moment.
Annan thought for a moment and asked in his heart:
"Ai Lei, when were you born?"
[...Huh? Wait, wait, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I will think about it...]
After Leng Buding was asked this question, Ailei's thinking was a little confused.
She thought for a moment and then said:
[It should be in 1442... Yes, that's right. It's June 12th... What's wrong? 】
"fine."
Annan consoled him: "I suddenly thought of it, so I asked."
——Actually, something happened.
Amos dedicated Elle to the Bone Lord on her sixteenth birthday. At that time, the Bone Lord had actually arrived at the Frozen Water Port.
That is 1458.
Elle's birth and death were less than ten years after the Melvin family implemented the "gold refining" plan.
And if you shift your focus from Ailei to Duke Skeleton...
The Lord of Bones regarded Yaweng as his enemy and was not welcomed by the Bone Burial Granny. Before he came to Noah, he had only winter and the underground world to go to.
If He had been in the Principality of Winter before going to the Frozen Water Port... it shouldn't be too difficult for the Melvin family to obtain the information that "In fact, the Eternal Lords in recent generations were all played by Skeleton Lords"
.
Annan remembered that when he first met Lord Bones, he snatched a mysterious book from his hand that recorded many past events of Lord Bones. At that time, he thought Lord Bones was his enemy... but
The Bone Man seemed to have great respect for the old grandmother and did not attack Annan at all.
So why did He take away the record about Himself?
What gave Him this habit?
Thinking again about the law of similarity of the Melvin family... Annan probably knows what the Melvin family is going to do.
"As for the money-making thing... it's probably this type of plan."
He sneered in a low voice: "So that's it. It was so dangerous, I almost got deceived."
Euphemia didn't realize the crux of the problem at all.
The Melvin family...is indeed rebellious.
But they are different from the uneducated people of the Far North Brotherhood. They are a wizard family with a long heritage. Naturally, they should know that the power of the Principality of Winter has no intention of snatching it - it has been since the elves era.
It is the inheritance of the old grandmother.
——Their real purpose is to steal the truth from Lord Skeleton.
Through some means, they learned about the past of Duke Skeleton. They also changed the tradition of the Melvin family and made it into a "similar idol" according to the specifications of the Eternal Principality. Then the "god on earth" is actually equivalent to
The "Eternal Lord".
And the sons of God raised by their families, in order to inherit the God of the World...naturally have the same type of elemental talents. This is the similarity they deliberately cultivated.
A weak idol wizard can use the "Law of Similarity" to borrow the power of a powerful idol wizard; conversely, a powerful idol wizard can also use this method to absorb and annex a party that is similar to itself but weaker.
This level of instant gold level is no different from the demonized fallen in terms of combat power. But the only difference between them is that they can burn their souls and extract a large amount of pure elemental power.
And if the types of the power of these elements are the same...
That means that the "god on earth" can concentrate all these powers on himself. The characteristics of those elders are similar enough to the god on earth... they may also be able to project their own spirit or power into them.
In the end, the "God of the World" will be like the Skeleton King - betraying the entire clan and absorbing the existence of the entire clan. Attributing their "cause of death" to himself, the corpses and curses will be dissolved into it...
And after he has the same height as Bone Bones and enough similarity, he can devour Bones Duke's existence through the "Law of Similarity".
