Chapter 357 The Faceless Poet

Although I don't know, what plan the old crow wants to use "Kaffine" to accomplish.

But Kaphne's own strength and cards are limited.

Her utilization value is nothing more than "the only daughter of the fourth prince", "Nicolas Flamel's student", and "Annan Lindong's friend". And no matter from which angle she was drawn into the plan, it would be a puddle of muddy waters.

As Kafney's friend, Annan couldn't allow this.

Kafney trusts herself and takes care of all the problems about her teacher, mother, and her curse... As long as there is a problem in one link, Annan will be fine, but she may be saved.

Annan could not allow it to fall on his own hands.

And Annan's words threw the pressure back lightly.

If the old crows admit Annan, it means that they must act and assassinate Kaphne's mother. Otherwise it would represent "the king trying to turn his back on Sir Silver's command and act alone".

And if the old crows claimed to have no knowledge of this, it meant that they were no longer trusted by the king. The intelligence gathering ability and political status of the Raven family are no longer enough to intervene in the next thing.

As a result, they cannot continue to ask Annan for the rest of the information on the matter, nor can they ask Annan for help in this regard. Had he chosen to remain silent, the result would have been the same.

As long as he does not admit it, the one-eyed crow will also perform the task of monitoring, capturing and even assassinating the princess, and then Annan has the right to refuse all his demands - this is the task arranged by the silver sergeant. Are you blocking me to fight the righteous god? ?

There is only one answer left to the old crow.

The old man smiled bitterly: "Why do you do this... She doesn't want to go back to the capital for the time being, so if she doesn't come, she will.

"The plan to assassinate Margaret is already being arranged. The fourth prince talked to us after returning to the capital, allowed us to carry out this plan, and left documents and evidence to wash away the relevant memory."

But this only affects the aftermath.

His memory must have been deleted, so when Margaret was assassinated, the Fourth Prince would not be allowed to contact or learn about it.

Nolan continued.

"And in order to prevent the 'Dream Stealer' Denton from jumping off the wall and threatening His Majesty or His Highness Albert... Denton must be brought out.

"At least lead to a place away from His Royal Highness Albert."

"……I understand."

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You plan to use Kaphne as bait."

The Ravens know everything.

He knew what the fourth prince didn't know.

I'm afraid Denton has already been exposed.

However, it cannot be eliminated.

A superhuman of the golden rank—especially a soul-reaver.

As long as there is a dialogue with him, the memory will be easily read and modified. Even if he can control the contact between the superhuman and His Majesty the King, if he jumps in a hurry, the ghost knows that he will kill and drive a few people crazy.

Even as long as the memories of several ministers are wiped clean - those secrets buried in their hearts are wiped out, and the entire Noah may be in turmoil.

A gold-level extraordinary person who broke into the palace is far more dangerous than a bomb. So even though the crow had already seen everything, it didn't dare to do it.

Because there is only one chance to stop him.

When it fails...the result is devastating.

During the conversation, Nolan had brought Annan into the basement and closed the door.

"Please feel free to find a place to sit... You also know that there is only one 'Dream Stealer'.

No one knows how far he can do it, the only certainty is that he can't modify the memories of people he hasn't come into contact with. "

Nolan sat on the sofa, put his hands on his knees, and said calmly, "The safety of the fourth prince, the safety of His Majesty, and the safety of the high officials of the kingdom are always more important than the safety of his daughter."

Annan heard the words and sat on the side sofa, while Eugene Geraint sat beside him.

Annan was not at all angry with such indifferent words.

In Nolan's position, he did exactly the right thing.

As long as the dismantling fails, the entire kingdom will be in turmoil at a minimum. If a little girl with no special skills is used as a bait, it can be eliminated invisibly... Even if this little girl is the king's granddaughter, he There is nothing that cannot be done.

But right is right.

"In this world, not everything has to follow the most correct path."

Annan smiled gently: "Just being right is not enough. I am trying to achieve...perfect."

His face was flat and full of confidence.

Those dark green pupils without brilliance reflect the light, giving people such a bright feeling.

"...As expected of you."

After a while of silence, Nolan sighed: "It would be great if a young man like you could be born in Noah."

"It's not impossible..."

At this moment, Eugene suddenly spoke.

When Nolan heard the words, his face suddenly became stunned, and he showed a look of searching: "That's right.

"Speaking of which, it seems that you and His Highness Kaphne..."

"..."

Annan was silent for a moment.

- Absolutely.

Is there still a hole here?

...a bit of a miscalculation.

As expected of the old crow... It's just a calculation.

He didn't believe it was Eugene's quick wit-if Nolan didn't allow him to speak, how could such a smart person dare to turn the subject to such a strange place when Annan was talking about business with his father?

As long as Annan responded to the previous sentence, forced the old crow to stand in line immediately, and exposed their plan... Nolan's sentence will be asked sooner or later.

——Because from the standpoint of "friend", it seems that it is not enough to explain that Annan will do so much for Kafney.

It is in their interests to use a girl as bait to kidnap the unstable bomb, or the fourth prince himself; then, on the other hand, the same girl is also used to kidnap the sole heir of the Winter Principality and the future grandmother. It seems that the subordinate god is tied to Noah's chariot, and it seems to be a good income?

His Majesty the King has always dreamed of unifying the five kingdoms and rebuilding the Great Barrier.

If you can marry Lin Dong, it seems that this goal can be regarded as a quarter of the advance...

Winter is a "traditional place", and the atmosphere is different from other countries. Even if you are a grand duke, you can only be monogamous.

...though Kaphne is indeed cute.

But he must not come down in front of the old crow - unlike Annan's "Vulnerability Declaration" before, if he really admits this, it means that a huge weakness of his own is caught in the claws of such an old crow.

Annan just replied calmly: "This is just an agreement between me and her.

"You don't know about this."

"...the previous agreement?"

Hearing this, the old crow was stunned for a moment.

Annan nodded seriously: "When she asks for help, I will rescue her - this is my promise as a man."

"Is that so..."

The old crow was silent for a while, then nodded lightly: "I understand.

"Did it happen when you and His Highness Dmitry visited?"

the old man asked curiously.

He obviously didn't know much about the content of the agreement.

- but it's normal for him not to know.

Because there is no such agreement at all.

This is Annan's current compilation.

Annan asked rhetorically: "I'm actually curious... I've never heard of 'that old crow is actually a cardinal of a certain god'.

"I have answered so many questions to you, can I satisfy my curiosity - I just want to know, which god will a big man like you serve?"

"It's not that hard to say. If you ask Merlin Manning's brother, he will tell you directly."

Nolan smiled mildly and replied, "I am the follower of Lady Silent - the god of records and secrets, and a believer of the Faceless Poet."
