Chapter 315 Save some Face for You
"Player Super Justice ()"
——This is left over from when Maria killed Bella last year.
When Maria was seventeen years old, that is, two years ago, she inherited the Tower of Storms and advanced to the golden rank.
And at the end of last year, shortly after the man in the mirror ascended to the gods... with the help of the Tower of Storms to monitor the entire Winter Duchy, Maria finally inadvertently found the trace of the traitor who disappeared two years ago—the werewolf Bella.
Maria's feelings for Dmitry are just not as close as Annan's.
But compared with other "outsiders", as her rare direct blood relative, Maria also cares and respects Dmitry very much.
As a matter of course, Maria showed no mercy to the she-wolf who had betrayed her brother twice, and even the entire Dukedom of Winter...it could even be said that she hated it deeply.
In the face of Bella directly tearing off her own tongue, she didn't want to reveal the information.
Maria was not interested in interrogating her in detail, and just saying [Decree: Suicide] caused Bella to die instantly.
After that, Maria did not check her body either.
Instead, a storm was directly rolled up to bury her body. Out of sight out of mind.
But at this moment, Vasily Manning sent her important information-Annan was still alive and in Noah.
After that, Maria immediately brought the news back and reported it to Grand Duke Ivan immediately.
...As a result, she only learned about Annan's previous plan from Grand Duke Ivan - throwing away her memory. And even Grand Duke Ivan himself is not sure that Annan is still alive, and whether he still remembers that he is Annan Coldwinter.
Abandoning one's own memory directly - using the life so far as a sacrifice, adding a reverse inscription, so as to completely reverse the curse of Winterheart.
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 - if a certain "mirror" of Annan can break free from his similar and symmetrical fate with Annan, he will directly defeat Annan. Then he will become the new holder of "Book of Sky Cart".
Now that Annan has been selected by the Book of Tianche to become the new Tianche...then this is an inescapable "destiny". The more you want to search, the more you won't find it; conversely, the more you want to escape, the more you can't escape.
This is not a seven-person melee, but a six-on-one wheel battle.
It is indeed a good thing to be able to prepare early.
...But the premise of this is that Annan's plan can really succeed.
What angered Maria the most was that both Dmitri and Ivan knew about this plan.
It wasn't just Annan who was hiding it 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 were included in the plan?
Of course, they know Maria's character very well... Now it is certain that Annan has succeeded. But before the plan was actually implemented, Maria might be hesitant instead. The fact that she knew the whole picture of the plan might have some counterproductive effects.
But the result was... Annan suddenly disappeared before the plan started at that time.
He was suspected to be attacked by a rotting man, but he couldn't even find the corpse, and the prophecy spell couldn't be located at all.
But if you ask "Is Annan dead" with a real worm, sometimes the answer is "dead" but sometimes "no", the answer is even constantly swaying.
So it is still possible to survive. But even Dmitri, who believed in Annan the most, could only comfort himself...it was only when 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 Rinwinter" they are familiar with is indeed dead, but the existence of "Annan Rinwinter" is still alive...and has been reborn.
So when faced with this question, true knowers will give completely different answers.
Looking back now... Fortunately, Annan's plan succeeded, which means that his past memory has been completely destroyed.
But Maria felt a little reconciled.
She did not contribute to the project 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 spent a whole month thinking in the Tower of Storms.
She finally thought...maybe she could find something to help Annan retrieve the memory that had been destroyed in the past!
That's right, Annan's "all memories he had" in the past have been completely emptied by the ceremony. But what he has done and said has been engraved in the world and recorded in the dream world.
As long as there is a nightmare that "Annan" appeared in the past, it can help Annan regain his past memories!
To be precise, it should not be said to be "recovery". It's like watching a drama created with himself as the main character, so that he can get acquainted with his past self...and learn more about himself.
Where can such a nightmare be found?
——The answer is ready to come out.
The werewolf Bella who was killed by Maria four months ago in the province of St. Alexis and buried in the wilderness of the Pillar of the Poisonous Fern... As a silver-rank transcendent, she can also generate nightmares after death.
And based on Bella's experience, her nightmare would probably be that gamble back then... that is, the last gamble that Dmitri participated in in his life. If he could experience that nightmare again, perhaps Annan would have a deeper understanding of his past self and Dmitry.
After figuring out the situation at that time, Maria boarded the Tower of Storms.
Now after the "sentence" of guarding the Tower of Storms is over, she immediately ran back to the Pillar of Poisonous Fern to find Bella's body that was buried by the blizzard.
Fortunately... Four months have passed, and Bella's body has not been gouged away.
As a Transcendent, after her death, most of her body had disintegrated. The remaining relics are generally the "keys" needed to enter the nightmare.
The "key" left by Bella is her left claw in wolf form.
After retrieving the "key", Maria immediately sealed it...and then went to beat up Dmitry.
She knew that Annan was still alive much earlier than Dmitry. But Maria asked Ivan not to tell Dmitry about it for the time being—just let him worry for a while, as a small revenge.
And now Dmitry has learned everything.
——Then Maria can go and beat him up.
She has endured this beating for a long time... When she learned that Ivan and Dmitry were involved in Annan's disappearance, she made up her mind to beat Dmitri.
And I have to beat him twice - Ivan is not in good health, so the eldest son should bear the old man's share.
But if he had just rushed to beat him, Dmitry might have realized what had happened and become happier.
This will not work!
Maria endured until Dmitri had learned the truth...and now.
The reason why I didn't go back to Shuangyu Province for a meal in advance was just to finish beating Dmitry outside.
In front of Annan, save a little face for her idiot brother.
... Wait for the injury to heal before taking him home.
