Super Righteous Player-Chapter 1243 - 279 Gerenz Nuha (Two in One)_2

Grianznuha has been in exile for so many years; he must have had some children... These children all bear the curse of the "Heart of Winter," and theoretically could take up the mantle of the Siren of the Third.

Ever since the rebellion of the Northern Union, Annan had once suspected... Could it be that those troublemakers were not after seizing power from Dmitry, but instead, sought to rally behind the one who also claimed the title of the Rinfrost Dukedom?

After all, it’s unrealistic for anyone outside the "Rinfrost" lineage to become an Archduke because of the old grandmother’s reasons. As soon as she wakes up, the usurper would pay the price immediately.

But if the Rinfrost Archduke still carries the Rinfrost surname, then it’s simply a family affair—they are merely rallying to one of the branches of the Rinfrost family, not rebelling to seize power. This means that even if they are to be held accountable, they could only be judged by family law, not national law.

On the other hand...

According to the news from Yufimia, Annan learned that the Melvin family has been continuously drawing power from the Skeletal Duke by relying on something similar to the law.

When the Skeletal Duke disappears from this world, Annan once pondered—Could it be that the Melvin family thus could no longer draw any power?

But if it is said that the Melvin family’s backer has always been Gerenz Nuha from the very beginning...

Then it means that they are not enemies but allies. This process of stealing the Skeletal Duke’s power was not done without his knowledge—

"... I see."

Annan suddenly recalled the first encounter with the Skeletal Duke.

After discovering Annan was Frostborn, his tone became friendly. He even addressed Annan as "Annan Frost Speech" and said something like, "it will eventually belong to the Frost Speech."

That is indeed the truth—when Annan dies, he would transform from the people of Rinfrost into the dragon of Frost Speech.

But suppose that this favorableness is not because of his good relationship with the old grandmother, and this designation is not based on the perspective of the deceased but because the Pope of the Skeletal Duke has always been Grianznuha Rinfrost, or rather... Grianznuha Frost Speech?

The contents of this deal were recognized by the Silver Baron. Moreover, the Silver Baron said it was information he "only heard a few days ago."

So the question arises.

The old grandmother knows quite a few divine beings; why entrust Annan’s safety to a False God?

And why the Skeletal Duke of all people?

This "following the young dragon to this place" obviously refers to the Skeletal Duke protecting Annan from Roth Fort, from the hands of the deceiver—from Frostwater Harbor to Roth Fort.

But Annan remembers clearly that there was no snow in Frostwater Harbor back then. This means that the half-asleep old grandmother could not contact the Skeletal Duke, who had no direct relation to her.

How did the Skeletal Duke come to know of this matter?

"I finally understand..."

Putting all these clues together, Annan finally understood everything.

The old grandmother’s command was clearly not directly given to the Skeletal Duke but passed to Gerenz Nuha!

Gerenz Nuha dares to claim the surname Rinfrost because he has secured recognition from the old grandmother—those "elders" bestowing commands on the Rinfrost family are not some village squires. It’s not a problem he can solve by just avoiding returning to Rinfrost.

It’s an actual True God, the ancestor of dragons!

This means that he must have committed some wrongdoing that is unforgivable in the eyes of the Rinfrost family and the Rinfrost Dukedom, but from the old grandmother’s perspective, it’s not a big deal. So much so that now, there’s someone raising an "army" in his name.

Whether it be the nobility of The North Lands or the Melvins... Clearly, they have all rallied behind Gerenz Nuha!

Meaning that Gerenz Nuha himself has the mindset and ability to become the Rinfrost Archduke. The Melvins are no fools; being recognized by them indicates that this plan is not without potential.

—I must find Gerenz Nuha himself.

A thought emerged in Annan’s mind.

Only by finding Gerenz Nuha himself can he truly end everything Rinfrost is facing—ushering Rinfrost into a spring that has been missing for decades.

Then the problem at hand, from a "trivial" matter of nobility foolishly trying to elevate their status, has become the significant issue of the "former crown prince’s usurpation."

"I thought that once the Skeletal Duke died, his influence on this world would completely vanish..."

Annan’s gaze lowered.

A splendid brilliance twinkled in the depths of his eyes.

"I never expected that I would overlook such crucial information."

He walked up to Earl Melvin, reached out to tap his forehead, and spoke softly, "Relax, I don’t want to kill you here... You should accept the judgment of legal Justice in front of the nationals.

"Before that, let me see—just who Gerenz Nuha is and what he intends to do."

Annan’s exalted proxy appeared silently behind him.

And beneath Annan’s feet, a magnificent glowing spell circle encased both Annan and Earl Melvin inside.

The wings representing "comprehension" shimmered and were raised high as vast amounts of information began to flow through Annan’s pupils—

The secrets harbored in Earl Melvin’s mind, concealed within his brain, were being "understood" by Annan at a rapid pace, as defenseless as a computer using default firewall settings against the world’s top hackers.

It wasn’t a matter of using the Soul Snatching Spell to control Earl Melvin’s consciousness, neither stealing nor rewriting his memory.

It was, very simply...

Like swiping a credit card through a POS terminal—the "intelligence" inside was read.
