Chapter 81 Friends, Have You Heard of the Rotten

"you are wrong."

Old Alvin took a deep breath and said slowly, "I won't choose either."

... yo?

Do you eat this set? Want to show an upright and unyielding performance?

Annan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly regained his spirits.

Seeing the strange light flashing in Annan's eyes, old Alvin quickly explained: "No, don't misunderstand. Because I'm... actually not from the third prince, I'm just a nail by his side."

He sighed, looked into Annan's eyes, and said slowly, word by word: "I thought about it for a while, because I don't know if you have put a spell on me that 'if you lie, you will die'... but I think You should be able to see that I'm telling the truth now. We can totally cooperate, because at least we're not enemies now."

Speaking, old Alvin took a deep breath and his expression became serious.

He showed an expression that made Annan somewhat familiar, and said something familiar to Annan:

"—Have you ever heard of a rotman?"

No, but have you heard of ○ Lee?

Annan really wanted to ask a question, but he held back after thinking about it.

It is quite uncomfortable to hold back.

Annan pondered for a while, with a thoughtful look on his face: "You mean..."

- In fact, he doesn't know anything.

"You guessed right."

Old Alvin took a deep breath: "I am a believer of the rotman... No, don't worry. Wait for me to finish - although the relationship between the respected old grandmother and the rotman is not very good, but we now have a same goal.

"Our immortal rotten man is the god of immortality and childlessness. Unlike the revered grandmother, we advocate the eternity of the individual... Since children are the continuation of their parents' lives, why do they need offspring if the parents themselves can live forever? What about prolonging your life? Whatever you want to do and what you have unfinished regrets, why not do it yourself instead of handing it over to future generations?

"So you ask me, whether I support the third prince or the winter... I naturally support neither."

Old Alvin said slowly: "Because I have always been loyal to His Majesty the King—

"There is no ceremony that will please the rotten more than the extinction of the royal family.

"His Majesty the King has a total of nine children, five daughters and four sons. There are still three alive...the eldest princess, the third prince, and the fourth prince."

The old Viscount chuckled: "And this—of course, is our credit.

"Disease. Curse. Accidents. Our ultimate goal is simple, the extinction of the royal family.

"In this case, Henry VIII must ask for the help of a rotten man or an old grandmother. Let him give birth to a son again...or directly restore his youth and obtain immortal life. Not to mention His Majesty, he once told Bing Dong. The Principality has launched a war, even if the grandmother is willing to bless His Majesty, but now that he is so old, can he watch his children grow up again?

"Even if he really chooses...we can kill his child again. How can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?

"Besides, we didn't let him kill his own child. We have already completed the most troublesome and cruel step for His Majesty."

Old Alvin said slowly: "When His Majesty realizes the problem, he only needs to make a choice. On the one hand, he will return to his youth and gain eternal life; on the other hand, the dynasty that has been passed down from generation to generation has fallen into the hands of outsiders for no reason... "

Annan understood.

From the very beginning, Henry VIII was left with only one choice.

--eternal life.

How many people can resist its temptation?

Even at the cost of continually sacrificing the lives of children?

Even if the king's face is disgusting and his mouth is reluctant, when he really can only choose this way, and after he really regains his youth... won't he feel happy because of this?

When he grows old again,

Can he really bear not to hold the ceremony?

So, be on the safe side.

If Henry VIII really intends to use the rite of the rot, he will first make the church of rot the legal church within the kingdom of Noah. It wasn't difficult for him - if all his children died, his scattered power would be back in his hands.

This is conspiracy. A genuine conspiracy.

As long as Henry VIII is old enough to have children, when he is about to die... and then kill all his children smoothly.

Henry VIII had no other choice.

...I don't know if it's an illusion.

Annan always feels that the false gods in this world... seem extraordinarily enthusiastic?

Whether it's a skeleton man or a rotten man, they are all like the kind of salesman who stops people everywhere on the roadside, "Come, come, come, this is our new product, please try it." Then after I really ate it, I felt it was really good, but I was too embarrassed not to buy it, so I just paid for it...

- Free things are the most expensive.

Annan understood this very well.

But obviously... people in this world don't seem to understand.

"...If you want to blame it, you can blame it, mortals will eventually grow old."

Old Alvin snorted softly and sighed in a low voice.

He was curled up on his seat like a skeleton, and his figure was extraordinarily thin.

"...That's why you said that you are neither on the side of the third prince nor on our side of the Principality of Winter."

Annan nodded and understood old Alvin's position.

In the priesthood of the grandmother, there are parts about inheritance, family, heirs, and authority, which completely conflict with the rotten. Therefore, it is impossible for him to defect to the Principality of Winter. Instead of pretending to betray after catering to it, it is better to make it clear to Annan directly.

On the other hand, he was just using the third prince. On the other hand, the Geraint family is indeed his enemy... The reason is very simple, because the Geraint family has already stood in line, and they are the forces that support the eldest princess - the current king is most optimistic about the eldest princess.

What the rotman needed was to kill all the royal heirs before the king died. Whether it is the third prince or the eldest princess, they are their enemies.

Since old Alvin is the nail buried on the side of the third prince, it means that as long as he is alive, he will continue to weaken the royal power of Noah Kingdom.

The more the royal family dies, the happier the Winter Kingdom must be, at least until the king completes the rotten ritual.

So Annan Lindong will not kill him at this time.

At most he would just report the matter back - trying to prevent Henry VIII from gaining immortality at the end of the ceremony. Or assassinate him directly... This is the most cost-effective and labor-saving plan.

The premise is that he is really "Annan Winter".

——Unexpectedly, you made the same mistake twice.

Annan took a deep breath and showed a gentle smile.

However, I really got some very important information...

He was a little fortunate that he was fortunately not hacking the old Alvin to death just now. Otherwise, I don't know when I will know the existence of the "rotten man" behind the scenes, and I will only think that this is a normal succession war...

"Fine, you're honest. You deserve credit."

Annan smiled slightly, took two steps back, and put the kitchen knife and hammer back into the bag, indicating that he was not hostile.

"Oh, right."

Annan said casually: "In a while you ask who... take me to your study. Where should your letters and documents be?"

"Do you want to confirm?"

Viscount Ba frowned slightly, but he nodded calmly: "Yes. This is my sincerity in cooperating with you... How about it?"

"Naturally, we are happy to cooperate. Since you have a rotman behind you, when your plan is successful, you will definitely have a chance to release the curse on your body. Our cooperation will be terminated at that time."

Annan smiled slightly: "Would you like to send someone to take over my entourage? You can discuss the details of cooperation with them—"

He was very sure that Viscount Barbour would agree.

With the character of Viscount Ba, he is likely to regard the huge advantage that Annan has obtained in front of him as the blessing brought by the power of the "extraordinary".

In this way, he will definitely agree to meet Annan's "entourages". The purpose is to speak from their mouths - since they are discussing cooperation, they must show each other some trump cards. The old Viscount certainly did not believe that every servant of Annan could be as smart as him.

Of course, Annan didn't believe it either.

However, he didn't need them to discuss cooperation at all...

Because Annan's curse condition on Alvin was triggered when he was "preparing to expose Annan's identity to others", causing him to forget what he was going to say and paralyze his heart.

—but old Alvin certainly couldn't guess.

Annan's subordinate...is the "other".

They don't even know Annan's true identity!
