Chapter 78 Alvin's Ritual

Annan's carriage was stopped by the Viscount's people while there was still a distance from the manor.

He was the only one who was invited to enter the Viscount Mansion. The other three players on the carriage had to wait outside.

Annan and the players accepted this request very calmly.

It's not that Viscount Ba wanted to trouble Annan on such a small issue, and let Annan walk over to humiliate him.

This is Viscount Ba's caution.

He is now in his 80s, and his brain and body are far inferior to those of young people. Even if he sits on a stool for a while, he will feel very tired.

He can only rely on experience—three generations of dynasties, four wars, and countless past power struggles.

Yes, Viscount Barbour thinks he has won now, and by a wide margin.

Don Juan Geraint was supposed to go to the most prosperous city in the Northern Sea Territory, "Rosberg" to become the lord. This is the tradition of Noah's kingdom - the lords of each territory usually live in the most prosperous areas.

Because the economy is prosperous in this area, there is at least one Silver Sir's district bishop guarding it. It can effectively avoid the possibility of nightmares and wild superhumans interfering with the normal life of the lord.

But the North Sea Territory is an exception.

The original core city of the Beihai Territory was the Frozen Water Port. As the lord of Roseburg, Viscount Barr is only a vassal of Earl Geraint.

However, following what happened forty-five years ago, the frozen water port was gradually closed down, the economy of the entire North Sea Territory declined, and the bishop was withdrawn by the archdiocese. So Earl Geraint no longer sent direct descendants to the distant North Sea Territory.

After all, Earl Geraint was the intelligence chief trusted by the king and could not easily leave the capital. And their family was also sealed by the king several hunting grounds and manors in places that were very close to the king. It was very clear that they did not want the crow family to return to the frozen water port.

Although there is a sea between the Frozen Water Port and the Principality of Winter, it is geographically adjacent to the Principality of Winter.

Although the king trusted the old crow emotionally, he still had to be prepared for the old crow might betray—and the smartest way was to simply not give him the chance to betray.

If the Geraint family, who has too many secrets, is not allowed to return to the Frozen Water Port, it can effectively prevent the Principality of Winter from sending spies to contact him.

After all, Earl Geraint has a wife who was born in the Duchy of Winter. This caution is very reasonable.

And the entire North Sea Territory is just an earldom. After removing the frozen water port, the income is much smaller, so it is simply handed over to the old earl's most loyal follower, Viscount Alvin Barr.

In exchange, the young king also compensated the Geraint family for the positions of two royal guards.

Some years have passed since then, and the old earl has passed away.

The newly-appointed earl couldn't keep such a long distance apart, and only used letters to suppress Alvin Barber's behavior.

After all, Viscount Ba has never done anything bad.

He just took Roseburg as the new economic center of the North Sea Territory under the premise that the frozen water port was closed, refocused the resources of the entire territory, and concentrated on the development of internal affairs. The way the population continues to weaken the economy of the thawed water port.

Finally... Thirty-eight years ago, the acting bishop of Beihai Diocese was recalled, and the first district bishop was dispatched from the capital.

——This means that the desolate and remote Northern Sea Territory has fully recovered its perfect trade function. As a result, it was once again certified as a parish by Sir Silver.

But this time the bishop did not go to the frozen water port.

Go to Roseburg instead.

This means that the transportation, culture, military and politics of the entire North Sea Territory must be re-planned with Roseburg as the center. But the name of the most important city in the North Sea Territory, the Viscount wisely never touched it.

In this way, although he did not get the title, he has actually won the North Sea Territory belonging to the Geraint family.

Even the citizens of Roseburg do not think they have no lord. They always thought that Viscount Barber was their lord - they didn't know what viscounty counties were.

But Viscount Ba still has a loophole after all.

That is, the North Sea Territory still belongs to the Geraint family.

That's why, before he gets the idea that "Don Juan Geraint" is about to arrive at Frozen Water Harbor, he's going to start making trouble for him.

——If you can kill him, it is naturally the best; even if you can't kill him, let him admit it. At least let the little guy shut up, never let him go to Roseburg, follow the formal process, and rebuild his lord's mansion to Roseburg.

Because Annan really can do it.

This is completely in line with the process and rules!

Even if Annan's lord's mansion has not been built, the Geraint family will be gone... But that also means that Annan will remind the citizens of Roseburg to remind them of one thing:

The power of the Count of Bar was stolen.

It's just that he stole it too early. He stole it forty years ago. At that time, he was a savior, and naturally he would not be criticized by people... But now, this matter has long been forgotten by people.

Once the people of Roseburg began to doubt the authority of Viscount Barr, his plans would fall short.

The reason why it is said that Alvin Barber has already won is that the only "Don Juan Geraint" who can influence his plan at present has been successfully suppressed by him, and he does not dare to oppose him;

The evidence that he bought the black fire has been completely eliminated - both human and physical evidence are gone, and it was not even eliminated by the Viscount, but by Annan himself;

After Salvatore killed Gerald, he should also return to the Black Tower once, and he would not be able to return in a short time.

His grandson is almost six years old.

One more year...

The ceremony is complete.

This is an extremely long, complex, grandiose, and unethical life-extending evil ritual:

First let his son inherit his power for seven years, and then murder him; let his son's descendants inherit the same power for seven years, and then murder him; then he himself inherit the same power for seven years, and kill him All the descendants of his grandson were murdered - at this time, no matter how many descendants there were, they should all be seven years old.

The first stage of the ritual will add seven years to his lifespan;

The second stage will add fourteen years to his lifespan;

But the third stage of the ritual will kill him directly.

After that, he can take all his memories and be reincarnated into one of the seven-year-old children in the third stage - a great-grandson who was murdered by him. And directly bear the resentment and curse of the descendants, become a born extraordinary, start with bronze, and live a life full of glory.

The only price is that he will become a "celestial eunuch".

Because this ceremony comes from the pseudo-god "Rotman", an evil god who has been wanted by his mother-in-law and grandmother for a long time.

He is said to have been an eunuch, so his rituals are usually associated with his own or others' descendants, and the price is usually "the same as him". But a considerable part of those rituals that prolong life came from him.

In order to deceive others, the old Viscount specially let his first son and his wife have offspring. So nominally, his grandson would be disguised as his second son.

However, Viscount Ba never imagined that the most difficult part has been completed...

But now, the "same power" is starting to be unstable.

He had to worry that Annan might be hiding a black fire in the carriage; or that he might be ambushing killers and thieves, sneaking in while they were talking, looking for evidence against him.

Although the Count of Ba does not know Justin's curse;

But Justin also didn't know the purpose of the old Viscount.

He just wanted another year and a month to live in peace—

However, even this goal could not be achieved.

"Good evening, Lord Viscount."

Annan walked into the hall and looked at Viscount Babo who was looking at him in shock, the corners of his mouth gradually raised:

"...It seems that you know Don Juan Geraint. Do you still know who I am? Yes, after all, you have lived long enough..."

If so, all the better--
