Old Alvin took a deep breath and said slowly: "I won't choose either one."
...Huh?
Do you like this? Do you want to act upright and unyielding?
Annan was startled for a moment and suddenly became energetic.
Seeing the strange light flashing in Annan's eyes, Old Alvin quickly explained: "No, don't misunderstand me. Because I...actually am not the Third Prince's person, I am just a nail next to him."
He sighed, looked into Annan's eyes, and said slowly word by word: "I'm not sure if you have put any 'lying will lead to death' spell on me... but I think you should be able to see it.
Come out, what I say now is the truth. We can completely cooperate, because at least we are not enemies now."
As he spoke, Alvin Sr. took a deep breath and his expression became serious.
He showed an expression that was somewhat familiar to Annan, and said something that was somewhat familiar to Annan:
"——Have you ever heard of Fufu?"
No, but have you heard of ○利?
Annan really wanted to ask a question, but he thought about it and held it back.
It was quite uncomfortable to hold it in.
Annan pondered for a while, with a thoughtful look on his face: "You mean..."
——In fact, he knows nothing.
"You guessed it right."
Old Alvin took a deep breath: "I am a believer in Fufu... No, don't worry first. Wait until I finish - although the relationship between the respected grandmother and Fufu is not very good, we now have
A same goal.
"Our immortal rotten husband is the god of immortality and heirlessness. Unlike the respected old grandmother, we advocate the eternity of the individual... Since children are the continuation of the lives of their parents, then if the parents themselves can live forever, why do they need offspring?
What about extending your own life? No matter what you want to do, and what unfinished regrets you have, why not do it yourself instead of leaving it to future generations?
"So if you ask me, do I support the third prince or Lin Dong... Naturally, I don't support either one."
Old Alvin said slowly: "Because I have always been loyal to His Majesty the King——
"There is no ritual that can please a rotten husband more than the elimination of a royal heir.
"His Majesty the King has nine children, five daughters and four sons. There are still three alive today...the eldest princess, the third prince, and the fourth prince."
The old Viscount chuckled: "And this - of course it is our credit.
"Disease. Curse. Accident. Our ultimate goal is simple, to make the royal family extinct.
"In this case, Henry VIII must pray for the help of a rotten husband or an old grandmother so that he can give birth to a son again...or directly restore his youth and gain immortal life. Don't mention that your majesty once said to the cold winter
The principality has launched a war. Even if the old grandmother is willing to bless His Majesty, now that he is so old, can he watch his children grow up again?
"Even if he really chooses this... we can kill his children again. How can we guard against thieves for a thousand days?
"Besides, we are not asking him to kill his own child with his own hands. We have already completed this most troublesome and cruel step for His Majesty."
Old Alvin said slowly: "When His Majesty realizes the problem, he only needs to make a choice. On the one hand, he will return to his youth and gain eternal life; on the other hand, the dynasty passed down from generation to generation will fall into the hands of outsiders for no reason...
"
Annan understood.
From the very beginning, Henry VIII was left with only one choice.
--eternal life.
How many people can resist its temptation?
Even if the cost is to continue to sacrifice the lives of your children?
Even if the king had disgust on his face and reluctance on his lips, when he really had no choice but to make this choice and truly regained his youth... wouldn't he feel happy because of this?
When he grows old again, can he really endure without holding a ceremony?
So, just to be on the safe side.
If Henry VIII really planned to use Fufu's rituals, he would first make Fufu's church a legal church within the Kingdom of Noah. This would not be difficult for him - if all his children died,
The power he had scattered outside would return to his hands again.
This is a conspiracy. A real conspiracy.
As long as Henry VIII is old, too old to have children, too old to be about to die... then he can successfully kill all his children.
Henry VIII had no other choice.
...I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Annan always feels that the false gods in this world...are particularly enthusiastic?
Whether it's Gu Gu Gong or Fu Fu, they are all like the kind of salesmen who stop people on the roadside and say, "Come on, come on, this is our new product, please try it." Then after eating it, I felt that it was really good, and
I was too embarrassed not to buy it, so I just paid for it...
——Free things are the most expensive.
Annan understands this principle very well.
But obviously... people in this world don't seem to understand.
"...If you want to blame it, blame it, mortals will grow old after all."
Old Alvin snorted and sighed softly.
He was curled up in his seat like a skeleton, and his figure looked extremely thin.
"...That's why you said that you are neither on the side of the third prince, nor on the side of our Principality of Winter."
Annan nodded, understanding Old Alvin's position.
The old grandmother's priesthood related to inheritance, family, heirs, and authority, which completely conflicted with the rotten husband. Therefore, it was impossible for him to defect to the Principality of Winter. Instead of pretending to cater to him and then betraying him, it was better to make it clear to Annan directly.
On the other side, he is just using the third prince. On the other hand, the Geraint family is indeed his enemy... The reason is also very simple, because the Geraint family has already taken sides. They are the forces that support the eldest princess - the current king.
The one I'm most optimistic about is the eldest princess.
What Fufu needs is to kill all the royal heirs before the king dies. Whether they are the third prince or the eldest princess, they are their enemies.
Since old Alvin is the nail buried in the third prince's side, it means that as long as he is allowed to live, he will continue to weaken the royal family's power in the Kingdom of Noah.
At least until the king completes the ritual of rotten husband, the more royal family members die, the happier the Winter Kingdom will definitely be.
So Anan Rendong will not kill him at this time.
The most he can do is report this incident back - trying to prevent Henry VIII from obtaining eternal life at the end of the ceremony. Or directly assassinate him... This is the most cost-effective and least labor-intensive plan.
The premise is that he is really "Annan Winter".
——I didn’t expect that you made the same mistake twice.
Annan took a deep breath and showed a gentle smile.
However, I really got some crucial information...
He was a little lucky that he didn't kill old Alvin just now. Otherwise, he didn't know when he would know the existence of the mastermind behind "Fufu", and he would just think that this was a normal heir war...
"Very good, you are very honest. It deserves praise."
Annan smiled slightly, took two steps back, put the kitchen knife and hammer back into his bag, indicating that he was not hostile.
"Oh, right."
Annan said as if casually: "You will ask that person... to take me to your study later. Your letters and documents should be there, right?"
"Do you want to confirm?"
Viscount Barbour frowned slightly, but he nodded calmly: "Okay. This is my sincerity in cooperating with you... How about it?"
"Of course, we cooperate happily. Since you have a rotten husband behind you, when your plan is successful, there will definitely be a chance to break the curse on you. Our cooperation can be terminated until then."
Annan smiled slightly: "Do you want to send someone to pick up my followers? You can discuss the details of cooperation with them -"
He was very sure that Viscount Barbour would agree.
With Viscount Barbour's character, he is likely to regard Annan's huge advantage in front of him as the blessing brought by the power of the "extraordinary one".
In this way, he will definitely agree to meet Annan's "entourages". The purpose is to get words out of them - since they are discussing cooperation, they must show some trump cards to each other. The old Viscount certainly does not believe that every one of Annan's entourages can
He is so smart.
Of course, Annan didn't believe it either.
However, he didn't need them to discuss cooperation at all...
Because the curse conditions imposed by Annan on Alvin were triggered when he was "preparing to expose Annan's identity to others", causing him to forget what he was going to say and suffer a heart attack at the same time.
