Chapter 109 Hidden Wolf thanks the silver cute star who wishes for a long time!)
"It seems we can't leave for the time being..."
Annan sighed.
He looked around and invited, "Why don't we find a place first and sit down to chat?"
As he said that, he looked at Ghirlandaio.
What he means is simple.
This cheerful old man with black hair and black eyes should be the only one among them who knows the way.
——After all, he was originally a student of Master Michelangelo.
"Wait a moment, everyone... don't be anxious yet."
After receiving Annan's hint, Miss Claire was the first to react.
She looked at Ghirlandaio with some suspicion and pursed her lips.
"Actually, I had some doubts before I entered the door, but I was too embarrassed to talk about it...
“Shouldn’t we candidates all be people with ‘no teachers, no classmates and no apprentices’?
"But when we were outside just now, you once said...your teacher is Master Michelangelo.
"All of us were sent here after getting the letter. There is no doubt that you are the biggest suspect."
After hearing Claire's words, other people who had not heard the words also reacted.
They also looked at Ghirlandaio.
Ghirlandaio didn't panic either.
He just shrugged and said in a deep voice: "I have indeed known for a long time that the teacher is dead. But I did not kill the teacher..."
As he spoke, he took out a letter that he carried with him.
Expand it for everyone to see.
The letter simply said: "I will die soon and I will dismiss all my disciples here."
Below the letter, there is Michelangelo's signature.
"This is the order letter."
Maria saw the letter and explained to everyone: "This is an edict spell used when high-level wizards and senior leaders of various military teams convey orders. The words written in the edict letter will be preserved and regarded as
A formal commitment.”
As she spoke, she carefully pressed her hand on the signature of the letter.
"——Answer: your name."
She asked solemnly in a cold and childish voice.
Soon, a relief head of an old man appeared on the letter, and he answered: "Michelangelo Buonaro."
"——Answer: Time to write the letter."
"June 30, 1498."
The voice was exactly the same as the old man before.
Then, the head was submerged in the letter again.
Maria nodded and confirmed: "It's true, this was written by Master Michelangelo. The dismissal was five months ago.
"This letter is indeed legally binding - his apprentices have been dismissed."
Annan blinked.
etc……
Could it be that Maria Winter is not a wizard from the Incapacitated School? Instead, she is from the Imperial School?
He realized that he might have made a preconceived mistake.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late for him to realize it.
However, his guidance is still effective.
At least everyone realizes that Ghirlandaio is a disciple of Master Michelangelo. That's enough...
Then a gentle look appeared on Annan's face again.
He smiled bitterly and advised softly from the side: "Okay, okay...it's all my fault, I shouldn't mention this at this time.
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk first?"
"Speaking of which," Maria suddenly said, "You should be the most dangerous among us, right?"
She was referring to Annan.
Or rather, David Gerald.
As a wizard of the soul-stealing school, he is almost always invincible in one-on-one battles.
While no one could wake up the controlled person, Gerald also carried a powerful spell stolen from the Black Tower in the Zeland.
If we want to say who among their group of silver-level wizards is most likely to kill Master Michelangelo, who is infinitely close to the level of truth... it would be Gerald.
——And this guess was naturally expected by Annan.
Rather, this was the reason why he spoke first. The purpose was to make others doubt him... and to express his doubts.
"I understand what you mean, Your Highness..."
Annan smiled bitterly, and his expression gradually became serious.
He raised his left hand and turned the ring in a circle.
Under everyone's vigilant gaze, he solemnly swore:
"I place a curse here—"
He chanted in a low voice: "Before the dust settles on this incident, I will give up the use of all spells!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory rune appeared in front of his eyes and then disappeared.
Annan felt something was wrapped around his heart.
Because of this, his heart pumped faster - Gerald's weak wizard body could finally keep up with Annan's actions.
Afterwards, Annan smiled apologetically at everyone: "Is this okay? I just want to get a share of inheritance and survive... I have no intention of fighting with you.
"I know that being in the same room with a soul-stealing wizard will make you uneasy and unable to think calmly... so I will block my spell ability. In this way, you can rest assured, right?"
"...You don't have to be like this."
Maria looked at Annan with a complicated expression.
She also didn't expect that her tentative words would cause "Gerald" to give up his spell directly and neatly.
Soul-stealing wizards are not like destruction wizards and command wizards - no spells are needed, just the body or words alone are lethal.
It's not like an incapacitated wizard, who has some kind of part-time job as a melee professional.
Not even as good as a prophet wizard...at least his intuition of danger is sharp enough.
The soul-stealing wizard has blocked his own spell-casting ability, which almost means completely giving up resistance... If you can't check other people's emotions and thoughts, it will be very difficult to deceive others.
You know, although the rules say "the murderer cannot kill", the soul-stealing wizard can easily control the situation without killing anyone.
This curse is actually an advantage for Gerald, Ghirlandaio, Maria and Eugene Melvin, the four wizards who are not good at violent attacks but are proficient in control.
Even if they kill someone in the White Tower, they can still control the enemy with magic.
Anyway, the curse only says that killing is not allowed.
——But it didn’t say that you are not allowed to “attack” others.
Although he still has a powerful spell on him...
But if Gerald has it, don’t they?
In short, "Gerald" has voluntarily given up the fight for inheritance rights.
After Annan placed a temporary curse on him, other people's wariness towards him gradually dissipated.
This is exactly Annan's plan.
As a soul-stealing wizard, he must be the one that everyone is most wary of.
No one will let a dangerous person who can control his mind with just one word or one look roam around. Once someone decides to kill someone, at the very beginning, it is the "killing moment" with the fewest clues. Annan is so dangerous.
Characters are usually the first to offer sacrifices to heaven.
Since you don't know who to kill, let's eliminate the most dangerous one first.
After all, one person can only kill one.
What if he survives to the end?
This is called just in case.
This is definitely how people think.
And Annan has roughly guessed Maria's character.
She is the kind of person who says whatever comes to her mind and does whatever she thinks. Annan speaks in a rhythm twice in a row, which will inevitably arouse people's suspicions...and Maria will definitely express their suspicions.
At that time, Annan could borrow the opportunity to ban his spellcasting ability directly in front of everyone.
——He really doesn’t have the ability to cast spells anyway.
In this way, even if someone still suspects that they are the murderer, they will tend to wait for the "most dangerous person" to be killed before they think of themselves as a person who "can be subdued and killed at any time."
After all, in their eyes, Gerald is already equivalent to a sheep in his own sheepfold. If he is really a murderer, then he is prohibited from killing and unable to cast spells, so he will be completely unable to resist others, and he will not be able to escape at all.
You can kill at any time, no need to rush.
This will save you from dying on the "first night".
Yes, Annan generally realized it.
No matter who the murderer is, whether he wants to kill the murderer or not, Annan needs to drag the ceremony into a situation where "only four people are left."
So his general method of clearing the level is to blend in with the crowd and secretly help the murderer. He is also the "hidden wolf" in Werewolf.
But if you want to pass the level perfectly...
Annan needs to backstab the real murderer to death when there are only five people left.
Because conflicts need to be avoided.
Therefore, Annan could only use the curse on the hammer to murder him at regular intervals without his knowledge.
In this case, Annan was positioned as the "traitor" in the Three Kingdoms Killings.
No matter which one it is...
Annan needs to make his "teammate" aware of his existence first.
