One by one, basically, he was the only normal person in that squad.

She made a move, and Annan was still very relieved.

Dmitry was still busy with work and did not come back for dinner; Mary has not yet come down from the Tower of Storms. In the home of the ruler of a huge duke's palace and the Duchy of Winter, there were only two people at the same table who had dinner at the same table.

The food at the Ducal Palace is delicious, but it's anything but luxurious – a pan-fried lamb chop, a plate of sliced sausages, a small plate of pickled cucumbers, followed by a bowl of salad, a bowl of pear-stew, and a plate of fish, meat and egg-filled, bun-like food.

Most of them were still for Annan.

After all, Annan is now growing his body. He has a silver-level combat position, although he doesn't exercise or fight much, but just his daily exercise, coupled with the cold of winter, can make Annan eat two meals close to normal adults.

As for Ivan's current physical condition, the doctor had warned him that he could only eat steamed or stewed meat—fried, roasted, or raw, nor could he eat anything cold.

This steamed bun-like food was originally a special food for Ivan. Later, it spread to the winter folk.

Because it is dough, that is, it is made of leavened dough, it is less taxing on Ivan's body. In addition, Ivan himself hates waste - even if he is not in good physical condition, he will try to eat it if there are leftovers.

Therefore, Winter Hand, who is responsible for taking care of his body, usually controls the amount of food he eats accurately. It's better to do less than more.

And this kind of "bun" wrapped in meat and eggs can try not to make too much for Ivan while ensuring nutrition. A plate of buns and a few slices of pickled cucumbers for each meal is his meal, and he can try to ensure less oil and less salt.

- Don't say it's a duke.

If it were in Noah, even ordinary merchants who didn't even have a manor or even a nobleman wouldn't have eaten so easily.

But Ivan did not dislike this simple food in the slightest.

Not only did they eat quite carefully and seriously...... The pace of eating was even slow.

Mainly when chewing, it will take quite a long time to swallow.

It's not that he's missing teeth like an old man.

It's that Ivan's body is abnormally weak, and his muscles are extremely weak.

He doesn't just need crutches to walk...... Even eating for too long can make Ivan feel tired.

Even though he is only middle-aged, he eats, moves, and sleeps like an old man. That is, Ivan's neat white teeth can prove that he is not an old man.

Annan heard Aunt Zhuoya of the "ring finger" mention that Ivan would eat a fist-sized bun and a bowl of stewed pears without a little sugar at most. Today, Ivan can eat two buns, and it is already time for Ivan to have a stronger appetite.

This should also be because Annan is rarely at home.

Ivan had no expression on his face, and he didn't have any joy in his heart. But his appetite has increased significantly.

- Even though he is a member of the Winter family, he can't eat anything cold.

It's a shame.

But Ivan still obeyed the doctor's orders. Just to be able to live a little longer.

Because the Duchy of Winter can't leave him for the time being.

Grand Duke Ivan's body was already overwhelmed.

In the past two weeks, he has woken up many times in a dream, dreaming that he has become a dragon and is swimming in the sky with his people...... But each time he came to his senses at the last moment and chose to return to his body.

Ivan knew that it was the old grandmother who was calling him.

He has the blood of winter in his veins.

That's real dragon's blood.

The hearts and muscles of mortals simply cannot carry the great power of dragon blood. This is the truth of Ivan's incurable disease.

If he dies, the spirit should turn into a dragon. Return to the realm of the Old Grandmother and become His messenger.

When Ivan becomes a messenger of righteousness, Ivan will surely be able to regain a healthy and strong body...... He wouldn't have to live so struggling, so painful.

Just like his father and grandfather.

Different gods choose their messengers in different ways. But in general, the messengers of the gods are the ones they love the most.

For example, the envoys of the Red Knight chose those "heroic horsemen" who died on the battlefield and did not feel fear and remorse for their deaths. Even if he was only a mortal in his lifetime, after becoming an emissary, he would become a silver-level, immortal and immortal Heroic Soul Knight.

Sir Silver, on the other hand, chooses the most brilliant bankers or legendary businessmen, usually his popes and cardinals, or the big businessmen of other countries.

They either made important discoveries during their lifetimes, or they had the experience of "selling" that has been cited as legends. But there is no doubt that they are all among the smartest and sharpest people in the world.

If they had not offended Lord Silver, they would have been promoted to "Administrators" after death, in another sense, eternal life. Their job was to help Sir Silver's church continue to expand its territory or run local businesses.

Their other name is "Silver Guide". In fact, there is also a summoning ritual called "Calling: The Guide of Silver".

But the ceremonists summoned the Silver Guide, certainly not to let them help in the battle, but to let them help start a business......

In the same way, there are the "classical scholars" of the mysterious lady and the "lusters" of the glass-bearer. When the ceremonial master called them, he obviously didn't let them be thugs.

Theoretically, any god could have its own messenger. The ritual of making the messenger is itself part of the power of the gods. They can respond to rituals in their respective realms in place of the gods, and their main role is actually human customer service......

Of course, there are also some gods who are more withdrawn and don't like to follow the messenger all the time.

For example, the bell ringer does not have a messenger, and the paper girl likes to travel alone and does not like to create messengers.

If the gods do not intercept the souls alone to make messengers, then these souls will be "buried" by the power of the bone-burying mother-in-law. In 12 years, it gradually settled and returned to the origin of the world. This can be regarded as a kind of "reincarnation", but there is no direct relationship between the previous life and the next life.

If the souls of the dead do not return, then the original power of the world can also be considered to be weakened by a point - after all, there is no return. From this point of view, the existence of the "undead" is itself a kind of smuggling.

The emissaries are actually a kind of undead, but their gods have supplemented them with this power and made them regular.

"Annan."

After hesitating for a long time, Ivan looked at Annan, who was eating, and still made up his mind: "I feel the call of my grandmother." It's almost time for you to take the tricolor scepter.

"Because I may have ...... It's about to be [dragonized]. ”

When Annan heard this, he ate a meal.

He glanced deeply at Ivan.
