Chapter 263 Fragments of the Truth
Looking at the spy list, Annan flashed many actions of Nieusser in an instant.
……No wonder.
"After he knew that I was Annan Lindong, his attitude towards me became so intimate..."
Even rubbed my face.
Annan slandered.
No one told him not to slap the boss's mouth... and rub the boss's face?
No wonder he always called Annan "Your Majesty" instead of "His Royal Highness", because he knew for a long time that only Annan would inherit the position of Grand Duke. This is indeed something that can only be understood by at least getting to know the senior officials of Winter Winter.
Even Noah's royal family can't confirm this - not even the Winter Aristocrats of the Far North Brotherhood can't figure it out.
"...So that's what it is."
Annan muttered.
So when Annan left with his childhood sweetheart named Nefertari, Nieusser would be so reassured about them and his reaction would be so calm...
That's why he sold his collection and provided the players with housing and travel expenses; that's why the Sporophyte Mill, an underground city directly under the Principality of Winter, is so close to the Winter People.
From this point of view, Nieusser, a child who did not come from a family of diggers and wise men with little money, was able to successfully become a "digger" and discovered many underground cities, probably because he accepted the grant from the Hand of Winter ...
There is even a possibility...
That is, the Hand of Winter directly dispatched professionals and used professional equipment to conduct underground exploration... and then transferred the city they discovered to Nieusser, who has the status of a "preparatory digger".
So Nieusser became a digger at such a young age, but still guarded the small town of Sporophyte Mill, which was declining because of nightmares - this is probably his mission as a nail.
If Winter didn't use this nail, he would have been living in the sporozoite mill. Live normally as a digger, work, marry, have children, maintain his normal life trajectory...until Winter's Hand needs him.
That is to say...
The corner of Annan's mouth rose slightly.
He put the paper back.
- Just pretend you haven't seen it.
As one of the very few high-level personnel who have penetrated into the underground world, Niusel is still very important to the Hand of Winter. Not the kind of low-level intelligence personnel who can send as much as they want.
The wise men of the underground world are very difficult to deal with - not because they are ahead of other countries in terms of race or education, but because they are always in a high-level, high-frequency game of life and death.
Because the underworld has a very crucial difference.
That is, the laws of different cities are not universal, and it is very difficult to hunt across cities. This has led to the underworld of killers, liars, and robbers, and crimes are difficult to punish.
In order to compete for power and exclude dissidents, wise men often weave conspiracies, set up traps, and fabricate false testimony to attack each other.
If it weren't for them using a considerable part of their wisdom for infighting - the infighting between the wise men in the same city, the open and secret struggle between the wise and the diggers, and the infighting between cities and cities, between factions and factions... I'm afraid the underground world The number of smart people has long been enough to shock the monarchs of other countries.
Once Nieuxel is enabled,
If you let him start moving underground... he will soon be discovered by the wise. If you are lucky, you can evacuate, but if you are unlucky, you can only die quickly. Basically it is a one-time consumable.
In order to find important memories after death, spies are almost never extraordinary... This is also one of the ways to judge the identity of a spy. But it also makes these spies face almost no resistance to assassination.
Although there are many diggers, their significance is actually equivalent to that of other fief aristocrats. If you want to activate this kind of high-level spy, you must personally order it with the hand of winter at the level of "middle finger of the right hand", so as to avoid waste.
Now only Annan can order Nieusser.
But Annan has made up his mind.
- He wouldn't do it.
The Principality of Winter does not lack a man like him... and Nieusser is not just a spy, but a friend of Annan. Also a trusted companion.
"...Let him live his life in peace first."
Annan whispered.
Mingming recognized Annan's identity early on, but didn't say anything... Next time we meet again, just scare him.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a warm chuckle.
"Your Highness, what did you say?"
Zhuoya on the side asked with some doubts.
"I was just looking for information on the Winter Rebels."
Without any concealment or deception, Annan explained to Zhuo Ya directly: "I suspect that there may be other truths hidden in the 'defeat' incident of the Winter Rebels.
"For example... Could this be an exercise? We actually need the Winter Defenders to betray the Principality of Winter on the bright side and infiltrate other forces as 'Winter Defenders'?"
In other words, is this a counter-measure?
Hearing Annan's question, Zhuoya was neither angry nor at a loss.
"This is your second day on the throne."
She just glanced at Annan subtly: "I didn't expect that you would say it so early..."
"Because Aunt Zhuoya is the party involved. If Ivan has any speculation, Zhuoya should also know."
Annan said calmly and made a rational voice: "I am the best choice for the Principality of Winter at present, and this question may be a little embarrassing, but it is not sensitive. Even if I ask other 'Ten Fingers', at most I will be laughed at. That's it.
"But if you are afraid of being laughed at, if you are afraid of saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing, then you will miss the opportunity."
Zhuoya is in charge of the internal affairs of Grand Duke Ivan all the year round, and is the one who has been in contact with Ivan for the longest time in all hands of Winter.
There is no doubt that her opinions are very valuable for reference - if you don't trust her, or think "this question is unnecessary to ask", you will hide it from the elder, resulting in information errors or occurrences. Any misunderstanding that delays things is just asking for trouble.
Since Annan was very young... When the teacher said "raise your hand if you don't understand", Annan never dared to raise his hand because he was worried about the atmosphere or the eyes of others.
As long as he doesn't understand, he must raise his hand.
As long as he doesn't understand, he will definitely ask.
When encountering an ambiguous answer, Annan never guessed by himself, but would pull the other party to have a heart-to-heart chat, so as to confirm the other party's true psychology, and infer what the other party's psychology was like at the time and why he responded like this.
The reason why he can see through the psychology of others smoothly now is precisely because of the ability he trained at that time.
"So what's the answer?"
Annan asked, "Is [Winter Defender] really his own?"
Although Zhuoya responded, she just didn't answer directly. She can't be the kind of person who has a slow and soft temperament, who doesn't know what to say and what to do... So she is not digressing from the topic, but is trying to divert this topic on purpose.
However, Annan is not so easy to fool.
"...This question may be a bit complicated."
"Then take it slow. I think as the Grand Duke now, I should have the right to know about this, right?"
"—that's nature."
Zoya replied solemnly: "You naturally have the right to know everything... But I just want to say that what we know is only the former 'Winter Defender'."
After she said that, she was silent for a moment to organize her thoughts.
Then she replied:
"You guessed it right. At least in the beginning, the 'Winter Rebel' did defect on purpose. And his defection plan...
"...It's up to you to decide."
