The Righteous Player(s)

The more Annan advanced toward the depths of the dungeon, the more he felt a biting cold.

Especially since he had just sweated finely, and he hadn't completely wiped it off. Now I can feel the coldness overflowing in the air.

"...Senior's basement, the environment is quite tough."

Annan smashed his mouth.

At the entrance, the temperature near the Sage’s Stone has exceeded fifty degrees; and the temperature in the dungeon is at least below zero, almost like a cold storage... Annan can even clearly see the squirt when he breathes. White mist.

He searched around the dungeon.

Annan first discovered the black fires stored by Salvatore.

They are all stored here, next to the wall. The white freezing air fell like a veil, covering the black fire completely.

"……Well."

Seeing these black fires, Annan suddenly remembered something.

Soon after he arrived at Frozen Water Harbor, the ship Don Juan was in was destroyed by black fire.

At that time Annan was still secretly happy.

Because the Viscount sent someone to burn the ship, it was tantamount to destroying all the previous evidence. How many things were left on the entire ship, how many people had been there, and the traces of battle on it... all disappeared.

They also couldn't find any evidence that Annan was not Don Juan Gerante.

At first, both Annan and Salvatore thought that this was the black hand of Viscount Barber. In their analysis, this was for Salvatore to go to the basement to analyze and study the black fire, and to take the opportunity to block Salvatore in the basement.

It is precisely because of these black fires that Annan paid attention to Viscount Barbara. It was precisely because of his intention to be an enemy-that was why he discovered the conspiracy of the Church of the Corruption.

But now looking back...

The old Viscount didn't seem to have this need at all.

Because he didn't need to burn Annan and Salvatore to death.

He only needs to let those black fires explode in the frozen water port.

A large number of dead and wounded civilians will immediately arouse the attention of the church and the kingdom-these black fires have Salvatore's personal label, and without checking other suspicious elements, Salvatore will inevitably be imprisoned Awaiting investigation. At the same time, Annan, as the lord of the Northern Sea Territory and the actual controller of Frozen Water Harbor, was transferred for questioning.

The garrison of the North Sea Territory has been in Roseburg.

In other words, the only control area eligible to temporarily detain two extraordinary men is in Roseburg.

At that time, Viscount Barbara will definitely ask "Don Juan Gerant" and Salvatore to go to Roseburg, waiting for the investigation team from the capital city and the people from the black tower to arrive.

And the two were unarmed in the control area of ​​Roseburg... The lives and deaths of Annan and Salvatore were completely pinched in the hands of Viscount Barbara.

Even if Viscount Barbara did not have a chance to start, this incident could still be a stain on Don Juan Gerante. It then became an excuse for the Gerant family-because his fundamental purpose was not to kill Don Juan, but to continue to rule the North Sea Territory until the ceremony was completed.

Drive Don Juan back to the royal capital, and the result is the same.

But if it wasn't for Viscount Barbara's hand...who burned the ship?

"...It's Benjamin."

Annan murmured.

Yes it is.

Salvatore made only one batch of these inert black fires. It was made when neither he nor Benjamin left the Black Tower of Zedi.

Although these black fires were sold to Viscount Barber through Gerald's channel; but Gerald, he could only buy it from Benjamin.

This batch of "inert" black fires can be sensed by Gerald of the Imperius school. Wouldn't Benjamin, as the master of the conversion school, completely ignore its value?

This is unlikely.

Benjamin should leave at least a batch of samples.

In other words, this inert black fire is in the hands of Gerald and Viscount Barbara...

Benjamin also has a batch hidden in his hands!

On the one hand, he burned the ship to destroy the evidence that "Don Juan Gerante was dead"; on the other hand, he used this to remind Annan and Salvatore.

Tell them that Viscount Barbara will use Black Fire as an excuse to attack them!

"At least at the time, Benjamin hadn't left yet."

Annan frowned slightly: "Strange..."

What does Benjamin mean?

Why does he want to deal with this handwriting?

Does he recognize himself as Don Juan's stand-in?

"...He met Maria, he should know that I am Annan Winter."

Doesn't he doubt why I am here?

Annan's actions took a halt.

He thought about it.

There is only one possibility to explain these things perfectly.

——Benjamin knew from the beginning why he appeared here!

Maybe even the reason why he appeared in the frozen water port...

Directly related to Benjamin!

"……Yes it is."

Annan's thoughts were suddenly clear.

The church of the rotten husband fears the skeleton father. So the captain of the guard and the others did not arrive at the frozen water port at all, and left in a small boat halfway.

And if the person who burned the ship was Benjamin, then he had at least reached the frozen water port. Because Annan didn't see Benjamin's bearer and wizard's robe at the time, it means that he had already left at that time.

Judging from the level of hunger after Annan Winter woke up... he had just arrived on the beach not long ago.

In other words, Benjamin had met Annan 100%!

But he knew that Annan was noble and could not cause an accident, but he did not take Annan away.

this means……

It was in his calculation to make Annan pretend to be Don Juan!

That's why he left Don Juan's token.

Those letters, rings, pocket watches, Don Juan's dagger, and...

…The Fragmented Chapter of Truth·Book of Crane?

Although I still feel that this speculation is a bit omission, Annan feels that he is very close to the truth.

"What do you want to do..."

Annan muttered, frowning.

He suddenly lost his interest in scrutinizing a circle of dungeons carefully.

Of course, part of the reason is that he found that many things here cannot be stored at room temperature...

Forget it.

Whatever you want, just ask the senior directly. No need to take it away... it doesn't matter where you put it.

Don't waste it is true.

And as Annan strolled around, he quickly found the position of the so-called "magic mirror".

It was a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, about three meters high, covered with a heavy red cloth.

Annan tore off the red cloth from behind the mirror—you didn't need to pull it too much, it was about 1.6 meters high.

It is not convenient for Annan to cover the red cloth back later.

Use other people's things to return to the original position. Annan still understands this kind of politeness.

It was also Annan who went back to the front of the mirror enthusiastically.

Let me Kangkang, what is the essence of my soul——

I saw black lines on the mirror surface that looked like ice cracks. Apart from these lines, Annan can only see another himself in the mirror.

Black shoulder-length hair, tightly pressed light-colored lips, icy blue pupils shining like light, and pale to almost transparent skin.

...It seems that there is no difference?

Without waiting for Annan to think about ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the black lines on the mirror gradually faded.

"……what?"

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

Under Annan's gaze, the pattern on the mirror suddenly changed!

He saw on both sides of his head, two other heads slowly appeared-on the left is a black bull head with marble-like black stone corners on the forehead; on the right is a majestic lion with a brilliant sun-like appearance Mane entwined with glow.

In the mirror, Annan's heavy winter clothes gradually faded away.

Two wings of light wrapped in white soft light spread from his waist, and then gathered, covering the half of his body below his chest, and covering it up to his knees like a long skirt. Behind Annan's shoulders, two brilliant golden wings of light slowly opened.

And at the moment when he met the face in the middle.

With a buzz in Annan's head, he suddenly lost consciousness.
