——If you want to blame, you can only blame Cup Zhonger for opening his mind too early.

Long before they were born, they possessed sanity. Before they feel the "love" of the whole world towards them ignorantly, they have already been soaked in the blood of human desires, and they understand greed, hatred, and why they were born.

"'The baby in the cup is not a continuation of life at all—it is just a copy of life. Anyone who sees their own baby in the cup will instinctively feel disgusted, because this baby is exactly the same as their own, and it is their life. Proof of failure...'

"'Man-made things, can understand people's love? What a joke...I have never felt love since birth, how can I love people?'"

Annan recounted the words of Henry VIII's death.

There was pity and peace in his eyes.

"Of course he understands love. Being able to say these words is enough to prove [man-made things can understand love]...but it is precisely because of this that he laments his meaningless life.

"No one has ever expected anything from him. The royal family is a place of indifference. For an artificial man like him who pursues 'love' and 'needs', he is destined to not find what he wants to pursue.

"Even if he is a king, no matter how good he is... His most trustworthy ministers, his heirs and relatives are just counting the days and waiting for him to die on time with a calm expression."

When a person's ultimate limit is crucified before birth, he has lost all possibility in his life.

It was with Henry VIII as a mirror that Annan clearly realized... what a happy environment he lived in.

It also has an unusual origin, is also expected by all people, and has a heavy mission that covers a lifetime from birth...but Annan is trusted and loved by people. He has friends by his side, brothers and sisters in front of him, gods behind him, and the Hand of Winter and the Player.

Compared with Henry VIII, he was so happy.

With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses.

Henry VIII is like a "failed Annan", using his own death and his meaningless life to tell Annan very truthfully... If he chooses to degenerate, what will he end up like.

at this time.

Dmitry came over suddenly.

He clenched his right hand into a fist and lightly tapped on his heart, looking down at Annan: "Grandma loves you, and I love you too.

"Don't worry about Annan...we are different from them."

In the cold winter, there is no need to intrigue like Noah - it is already very difficult to survive and live to adulthood.

"If it wasn't for you, Annan, maybe I would have died long ago."

Dmitry sighed, and said seriously: "Don't think too much, you and him are two completely different people."

……Hey?

This sentence made Annan startled.

Because he had no impression of what Dmitry said.

On the other hand, Maria interrupted: "Since it is decided to send Noah as an envoy, this will be a diplomatic visit. Then of course Annan must bring the three-color scepter... This becomes reasonable.

"Ivan is weak and can't go out to visit. As the new Grand Duke, it's a good choice to replace him... It just so happens that you can avoid the limelight. At least you can avoid those who came when Zorgen wiped out the northern forces. All forces begging for mercy for them.

"However, the three of us cannot leave at the same time."

"...Can't we leave at the same time?"

After Maria's voice fell, Dmitry nodded and volunteered: "In that case, then I..."

"——You will take care of the house."

Maria interrupted mercilessly.

"why!"

Dmitry patted the table unwillingly.

"Because you are the weakest."

Annan explained quietly.

"Hey, hey! You kid..."

"Annan was right.

"

Maria immediately interrupted: "The only thing you can use other than the Frost Sword Technique is the magic technique of the old grandmother, my lord bishop. You can only use it when you are on the land of [Winter] that has the right to claim it." Your own strength... Once you leave Winter, you will become too weak.

"We won't bring too many Hands of Winter this time, because some people have to be left to suppress the northern border. Then I'm afraid there will be no manpower to protect you."

[Claim right] is also one of the powers of tradition, and the so-called right is justifiable.

If you want to use the magic of the old grandmother, you must follow a certain tradition. In other words, users of divine arts must have status.

The Rindong family can use divine magic anywhere in Rindong, because Rindong originally belonged to them—on the other hand, if they are in other countries, they can only use divine magic in their own residences. Because the houses that have been purchased are also their private property.

The other bishops are a little more troublesome. They either use divine spells in the temple, or they must follow certain traditions... or "rules".

For example, you can use a magic spell once a day in December; or you can use a magic spell after completing a complete worship ceremony to the old grandmother for the first time every day; Use a divine spell to fight back; as a clergyman, you can also get a chance to fight back when you are attacked by civilians; or when you execute the death penalty on a death row criminal - as long as you are sure that the crime committed by the other party is enough to sentence the death penalty, without actually making the other party a wanted man If you commit a crime, you can use a magic spell and so on. These opportunities can be superimposed, but fleeting.

If, as an elderly clergyman, he is attacked by a little bastard who committed homicide after completing a worship in December-then he can use five consecutive divine spells when he counterattacks. But if the divine spell attacks other people, then those two "high priority" times will be consumed first.

There are many rules set by the old grandmother, which are generally in this style. There are strict regulations on the various situations in which divine arts can be used, as well as the levels that can be contacted each time divine arts are used.

Even if the clergy committed any wrongdoing... such as making a style problem while having a wife, or accepting bribes from others, or beating the old man without children, or mocking the disabled, or hurting the Killing others will also deduct a certain amount of magic spells depending on the severity of the situation.

Those temporary means cannot be added back—for example, when being attacked, unless there is only "-1" level of punishment left, and the enemy is really heinous, and at the same time he has obtained the authority of five or six magic spells, then only Temporary recovery. And after the battle is over, the "amount owed" will be posted backwards.

If you want to recover, you can only do good deeds or "daily check-ins".

Without divine authority, it is basically equivalent to abolishing a priest. If the old grandmother's priest failed to use a divine spell in public, he would be ridiculed—meaning he must have done something wrong, secretly.

And the bishops also have assessments, and they have to demonstrate their divine powers during the monthly gatherings to prove themselves; at the same time, in each diocese, the bishops will also randomly check the divine powers of the clergy. If a person is found to be unable to use divine spells twice in a row, he will be exiled and automatically enter the procedure of being investigated by the Hand of Winter.

If a crime is found, it will even be executed publicly to punish the clergy.

This kind of strict disciplinary review is also the reason why the priests of the old grandmother have always kept a low profile and acted cautiously.

After all, in the cold winter when everyone may starve to death, priests who can eat well, wear warm clothes, and work without low wages are really popular professions. Priests are generally responsible for legal issues (referring to execution , family mediation, or legal counseling), because the priest of the old grandmother does not have healing powers, so will not live among people.

"Although what you say is very reasonable, I want to correct one point. I am no longer a bishop."

Dmitry said calmly and proudly: "Although it hasn't been announced yet, I have become a cardinal...it will be announced on December 1st this year."

"... What merit have you done?"

Maria wondered.

"I found three conflicts in the "Dragon Code", and gave new and reasonable answers to several difficult-to-explain moral issues, and updated four places in the name of the Rinwinter family that are no longer applicable to the current Rinwinter The old laws and old traditions. Of course, the most important thing is my zero punishment record, and I have spent more than a year concentrating on adding new blood to the Frost Beast Troop.”

There was an uncontrollable smile on Dmitry's mouth.

Instead, Maria glared at him, "Pay attention to your health!

"Taming frost beasts requires blood—"

"Of course I know."

Dmitry interrupted Maria.

He pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "But with my talent, all I can do is this kind of hard work. After all, whether it's you or Annan... your blood is too precious.

"Let me come and see the house, Maria. But remember to bring Uncle Victor and Aunt Zhuoya with you... Noah is a city of crime, and there are a lot of people with ulterior motives caught."

Dmitry sighed and pulled a cigar from his pocket.

Maria didn't interrupt him this time, but he didn't start smoking either.

He just had a cigar in his mouth and didn't light a fire, so he said vaguely: "Those Noah people, they don't know anything else, they are very scheming people. The reason why they can move these fancy intestines is because their brains are not frozen.

"Since that's the case, I won't go out this month. If those idiots from the north dare to come to make trouble, I'll chop off their heads and feed them to pigs to use up the remaining heat."

He glanced at Annan: "Your Majesty, will you give me this power?"

Dmitry said euphemistically that he wanted to take the blame for Annan's "massacre of nobles". This method is used to further maintain the stability of Annan's rule.

"certainly."

Annan was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice.

——And Annan accepted his kindness.
