——This is what Maria left behind when she killed Bella last year.
When Maria was seventeen, she inherited the Tower of Storms two years ago and advanced to the gold level.
And at the end of last year, not long after the man in the mirror became a god... with the help of the Tower of Storms to monitor the entire Principality of Winter, Maria finally inadvertently discovered the traces of the traitor Bella who disappeared two years ago - the werewolf Bella.
Maria's feelings for Dmitry were just not as close as Annan's.
But compared with other "outsiders", as one of her rare direct blood relatives, Maria also cared very much about and respected Dmitry.
Of course, Maria had no mercy for this she-wolf who had betrayed her brother twice, and even betrayed the entire Principality of Winter... It could even be said that she hated her deeply.
In the face of Bella, he directly cut off his tongue and did not want to reveal the information.
Maria did not question her in detail about her interests. Just one sentence of [Order: suicide] caused Bella to die immediately.
Afterwards, Maria did not check her body.
Instead, a storm was created to bury her body. Out of sight, out of mind.
But at this time, Vasily Manning sent her important information-Annan was still alive and in Noah.
After that, Maria immediately took the news back and reported it to Grand Duke Ivan as soon as possible.
...As a result, it was only then that she learned about Annan's previous plan from Grand Duke Ivan - to throw away his memory. Moreover, even Grand Duke Ivan himself was not sure whether Annan was still alive or whether he still remembered that he was Annan Cold Winter.
Throw away your own memories directly - use your life so far as a sacrifice and add a reverse inscription to completely reverse the curse of the Heart of Winter.
This is to give Annan an advantage when facing the "mirror".
Maria did know that in the long run... this plan would make Annan safer.
Destiny is a rut in the sky-if a certain "mirror" of Annan can break free from his similar and symmetrical fate to Annan and directly defeat Annan, then he will become the new protagonist of "The Book of the Sky Chariot".
Those who have.
Since Annan has been selected by the Book of Heavenly Wheels and becomes the new Heavenly Wheel... then this is the "destiny" that cannot be escaped. The more you want to search, the less you can find it; conversely, the more you want to escape, the harder it is to find it.
More and more unable to escape.
This is not a melee of seven people, but a six-on-one wheel battle.
It is indeed a good thing to prepare early.
...But the premise of this is that Annan's plan can really succeed.
What made Maria most angry was that both Dmitry and Ivan knew about this plan.
It wasn't just Annan who was hiding the truth from her - all the men in the family unanimously chose to exclude Maria from the plan.
Maria was very angry.
——Wouldn’t it be better if I also joined the plan?
Of course, they know Maria's character very well... Now they are sure that Annan has succeeded. But before the plan is actually implemented, Maria may be hesitant. She knows the whole plan.
This matter may have some counter-effects.
But the result was... Before the plan could begin, Annan suddenly disappeared.
He was suspected to have been attacked by a rotten man, but even the body could not be found, and the prophecy spell could not locate it at all.
But if you ask "Is Annan dead" using a true knowledge insect, sometimes the answer is "dead" and sometimes "no", and the answer even keeps swinging.
So it was still possible to survive. But even Dmitri, who believed in Annan the most, could only comfort himself... It was not until he saw Annan again that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now they finally understand why the problem changed at that time.
Because the "dark and cold Annan Winter" they are familiar with is indeed dead, but the existence of "Annan Winter" is still alive... and has been reborn.
So when faced with this question, Zhenzhiwen will give a completely different answer.
Looking back now... Fortunately, Annan's plan was successful, which means that his past memories have been completely destroyed.
But Maria felt a little unwilling to do so.
She did not contribute to the plan itself and was completely excluded. So after Annan returns, can you prepare some useful gifts for him?
After Annan returns, he will be the new Grand Duke of Winter.
What is there that he cannot have?
Maria thought about it in the Tower of Storms for a whole month.
She finally thought...perhaps she could find something to help Annan retrieve the memories that had been destroyed in the past!
Yes, Annan's "all memories he had" in the past have been completely erased by the ceremony. But the things he has done and the words he has said have been engraved in the world and recorded in the dream world.
As long as there are nightmares about the past "Annan" appearing, it can help Annan retrieve his past memories!
To be precise, it shouldn't be said to be "retrieval". It was like watching a play with himself as the protagonist, so that he could become familiar with his past self... and learn more about himself.
But where can you find such a nightmare?
——The answer is ready to come out.
Bella, the werewolf who was killed by Maria four months ago in the province of St. Alexei and buried in the wasteland of the Poison Fern Pillar... As a Silver-level transcendent, she can also generate nightmares after death.
Based on Bella's experience, her nightmare would probably be the gambling game that year... which was the last gambling game that Dmitri participated in in his life. If he could experience that nightmare again, maybe Annan would be able to deal with the past.
I have a deeper understanding of Dmitri.
After figuring out the situation at that time, Maria climbed onto the Tower of Storms.
Now that her "sentence" of guarding the Tower of Storms has ended, she immediately ran back to the Pillars of Poison Fern to find Bella's body that was buried in the snowstorm.
Fortunately... four months have passed and Bella's body has not been exhumed.
As an extraordinary person, after her death, most of her body disintegrated. The remaining relics are generally the "keys" needed to enter the nightmare.
The "key" Bella left behind was her left claw in wolf form.
After retrieving the "key", Maria immediately sealed it...and then went to beat Dmitri.
She knew that Annan was still alive much earlier than Dmitri. But Maria asked Ivan not to tell this matter to Dmitri for the time being - just let him worry for a while, as
A small revenge.
And now Dmitri knows everything.
——Then Maria can go and beat him up.
She had endured this beating for a long time... When she learned that Ivan and Dmitri were involved in Annan's disappearance, she made up her mind to beat Dmitri.
And it has to be beaten twice - Ivan is not in good health, and the eldest son should also bear the father's share.
But if he just rushed over and beat him, Dmitri might realize what happened and become happy.
This won't work!
Maria endured it until Dmitri learned the truth...that is, now.
The reason why I didn't go back to Shuangyu in advance to save myself a meal was just to finish beating Dmitri outside.
In front of Annan, save some face for her idiot brother.
...and wait until the injury is healed before taking him home.
