Chapter 276 Jacob the Hole Opener

Now Annan can be roughly certain that Jacob and the Far North Brotherhood are indeed not the same.

If Jacob is malicious to the Annan regime, he only needs to kidnap Russell and sell it, not only in exchange for huge benefits, but also for the rule of the Winter family—even the traditions that the entire Winter Principality has inherited to this day, All cause devastating damage.

Russell is currently the only mutant frost beast with advanced intelligence that can communicate with words.

Her existence has irreplaceable and transcendent significance to the Far North Brotherhood, and even to other rebel nobles...or any organization or individual who intends to launch a rebellion.

Being able to speak and understand words means being able to communicate—that means being able to intimidate, seduce, brainwash, and negotiate. It means that there is a possibility of being controlled.

...If Maria were to deal with this matter, she would most likely kill Russell directly to cut off this "possibility".

Among the three winters of this generation, she is the most decisive and most ruthless in handling affairs - she is the one closest to the "king". If it wasn't that someone had to inherit the Tower of Storms, perhaps the Great Guild Ivan would hand over the tricolor scepter to her.

Being able to gain insight into the essence of things, and will ruthlessly solve the most fundamental problems... This is a talent similar to Annan's, but she lacks some patience and tolerance.

Although Maria had the personal ability to control Russell, she also had someone whose authority could overwhelm her subordinates. But she can do it, but it doesn't mean she will do it - as a linking position at home, she needs to help her eldest brother on the one hand, and take care of the young Annan on the other hand.

At the same time, she felt the double pressure of the unreliable eldest brother and the younger brother who showed extraordinary talents at a very young age, and developed the habit of Maria's prudence.

She would never leave herself any weakness.

Even if there is only the slightest possibility that rule, tradition and authority will collapse, she will not let this crisis continue... Once the cub is persuaded, kidnapped or defected on its own, or even simply stolen blood , the winter will be doomed to usher in turmoil.

If the so-called problem cannot be solved, the person who asks the problem will be solved... If Maria becomes the Grand Duke, she will be a powerful person who can make such a decision immediately.

And if Dmitry is in charge of this matter... Annan can be sure, he will definitely hesitate.

He was neither ruthless enough to deal with Russell directly, nor had the ability to control Russell in his own hands-he was not good at rejecting others since he was very young.

He is a kind, gentle and not so smart person... If it wasn't for his ex-girlfriend, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the idea of ​​using and hurting Russell, the frost beast cub.

Only Annan can turn Russell into his own power.

Only when she is in Annan's hands...is it possible to have her own name.

[Russell] This name is the only possibility that belongs to Annan.

"Woooooooooooooooooo-"

Knowing that he has a name, the milky-white little fox raised his neck and uttered excitedly a whimper like a young wolf.

You see, this kid isn't much cuter than Doreen...

With a smile, Annan lifted her up with one hand again and stuffed it back into his clothes.

"Then, Your Excellency Jacob."

Annan lowered his head,

Without looking at Jacob, he just said casually: "I hope you can know that you are just proving that you are not the same as them.

"Are you a Noah, have you indeed accepted Earl Geraint's order with good intentions, have you hidden the mission itself...even, are you 'Jacob'.

"So many problems will not disappear without a trace after confirming that you and I are not enemies for the time being."

"...Then what should I do?"

The man with hair like withered grass spread his hands helplessly: "I have said everything I should say, and I have said everything I shouldn't. I have also shown all the evidence that can be shown..."

"You follow me first."

Annan raised his brows: "You said, what do people call you... [hole opener]? Are you good at opening holes?"

"I can try it if you want."

Jacob shrugged. "Whether it's making holes in people or making holes in walls - I'm just as good at it."

In front of three silver-level extraordinary people, two "Ten Fingers", and Archduke Winter holding a three-color scepter, as a pure mortal, he did not panic at all.

"So be it, Your Majesty. I can put a spell on it—you decide what to do, okay?"

"it is good."

Annan nodded and said without hesitation: "Then you swear like this: [I and any individual or force subordinate to me will never be enemies with Annan Lindong and his immediate family members and subordinates from now on, Nor will they do anything that directly or indirectly harms the interests of Annan Lindong and his immediate family].”

"...Your Majesty, are you a lawyer? This is the longest spell I've heard in my life."

Jacob was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "I really don't remember... you better write it down."

"That is, the curse can't be too long."

Annan raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, I will definitely write you a thick contract. For a person like you, it will never be unnecessary to be more cautious."

After Jacob laid the curse.

This curse was directly transformed into a rune, like a bracelet, and branded on his right forearm.

After all, he doesn't have a curse bearer... If mortals want to use the power of the curse, they can only directly use their own bodies to bear the curse.

——An anti-curse in this case, just breaking one of them will be directly fatal.

"...It seems that I can't go back to Noah."

Jacob rubbed his wrist.

Being cursed and scalded directly on the skin, at that moment, it felt like being burned by a soldering iron on the skin.

Although the skin was not burnt, there would be no continuous burning pain, but the momentary pain still made him feel a lingering stinging pain in his wrist.

He grinned and said, "When the Count saw that I set such a curse, it is estimated that he will kill me directly."

The intelligence personnel who were sent to other countries by themselves, in turn, became traitors who faithfully served the leaders of the other party——

"Not necessarily dead."

Annan chuckled and comforted in a low voice, "I have a good relationship with your Highness Kaphne. If Kaphne succeeds, maybe we can form an alliance."

"Even if we do form an alliance, Lord Crow will definitely not let me go back..."

Jacob muttered.

He looked at Annan and sneered: "Your Majesty, you see - I am a homeless wild dog. In terms of treatment..."

"What Winter can give you - certainly not as good as Noah."

Annan said leisurely: "But I can give you more than Earl Geraint."

After he finished speaking, he motioned for Zoya to take off his gloves.

"I'll treat you and give you half an hour to rest and fill your stomach. Then you'll need to show us the way."

Annan narrowed his eyes: "Since you have been here for a long time...then you must know something about the Extreme North Brothers.

"You set up the ceremony and teleport us to the rear of the group of traitors-a safe and concealed location."
