This time the conversation between Annan and Don Juan was slightly different from the last time.
Because Annan did not ask Don Juan about "the young man with black hair and blue eyes that Klaus asked about" this time, Don Juan's expression was not so serious when he left the room this time.
This time Annan specifically asked one more question:
"Master, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Lord Benjamin," Don Juan specifically told him. "If you come to me in an emergency, go directly to the captain's cabin. No matter who talks to you in the middle, don't worry about it, and don't be distracted by going to other places. Go quickly."
Come back soon."
"yes."
Annan responded.
For Don Juan's age, he was already very cautious. He did almost everything he could do...but unfortunately, he still failed to reckon with people's hearts.
He made the mistake of trusting the captain of the guard too much. He should not trust anyone like them, especially the nobles who carry heavy treasures, offend others and have no ability to resist.
Including John.
Annan sighed secretly in his heart, and watched Don Juan take the door and leave, thinking deeply in his heart.
Sure enough... In fact, I must have changed something unconsciously in the previous time.
The main mission says that it is to prevent Don Juan from drinking the poisoned wine. So this means that in real history, the young master should have been poisoned to death during dinner.
But not long ago, when Annan found Don Juan, he had already been tied up and put away. He looked like he was going to die on the spot. There was no need for poisoned wine and he couldn't wait until dinner time.
The only possibility is that what he said to the young master before made him suspicious of the chief of guard... and then he went directly to ask.
What followed was a series of chain reactions that only alerted the enemy.
Perhaps the old wizard would not have died at this time. It was just because of Don Juan's misoperation that the plan was advanced...
But this time I didn't say anything unnecessary.
Then the script should develop along the original historical trajectory...
[Erosion degree increased to 4%]
Annan frowned slightly.
In other words, after entering this kind of dungeon, if there are multiple opportunities to load files, is it best to try to reproduce the original owner's choice for the first time? No, not necessarily... maybe the original owner knows the least.
of.
For example, John doesn't even know who the betrayer is.
I don’t know how to reduce the erosion rate. Just in case, try not to die...
Just when Annan thought of this, a large data flow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes again:
[Main mission: Complete John’s unfinished last wish]
[Find out the true identity of the betrayer]
[Live until dinner starts]
[Don’t let Don Juan Geraint drink the poisoned wine]
But soon, the three lines below began to fade and then fragment.
In its original position, a new line of writing appeared:
[Kill the guard captain Klaus]
【Kill all the traitors】
...can you inherit the progress of the dungeon even after you die?
Annan suddenly realized it and suddenly had many new ideas in his mind.
But just looking at these two new task requirements, he couldn't help but laugh happily, which was very inconsistent with John's honest face: "This is very simple..."
Once the mission is simplified into "where to go", "what to kill", and "how many to kill", every player will breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared with complicated decryptions and troublesome mission objectives that you don't know how to achieve, such missions are simpler and more straightforward, and can better mobilize the player's adrenaline.
Annan did not wait for Don Juan to go far this time - because he knew that the young master would not come back this time - he began to search the room skillfully.
It only took him more than a minute to find Don Juan's dagger, ring, pocket watch and John's guard sword.
This time, Annan did not bring the seal and the letter, but put them all in the house. This was because he wanted to see if it would be "triggered" if the chief of guard got these letters but did not get the ring.
Some new dialogue.
After losing his fear and anger, the world became more and more like a game to him... Even though Annan logically agreed with its danger, he also knew that this was a real world, but there was no substance to it at all.
feelings.
Annan exhaled gently and slowly and pulled out the sword.
He simply left the sheath in the room.
The reason is also very simple. It is inconvenient and uncomfortable to carry around.
After all, he wasn't going out to practice swordplay.
But to go out and kill people.
There was no delay for too long. After Annan took his things, he went out directly.
At this time, Don Juan hadn't gone far yet. Perhaps because he hadn't broken up with each other yet, the three people who had received the mission from the captain of the guard and came to keep an eye on John hadn't come yet.
They were probably also afraid that Don Juan would come back again.
But Annan didn't have so much fear.
His pupils rotated rapidly, constantly looking at every possible place where someone might be. His steps were very light and his breathing was very gentle - not so that others could not hear his breathing, but so as not to interfere with his own listening.
state.
As soon as he walked out of this corridor, he heard a series of chaotic footsteps.
"Can't you just go in and tie up John?"
"No, that fool is not smart, but his force is still relatively strong. Whoever strikes first will most likely be injured... Anyway, I don't want to get hurt."
"Well, I don't want to either."
"Don't be superfluous, just follow the order..."
I'm coming.
Everything was as expected. Hearing the complaints and chatter of the three people, Annan sneered and silently retreated into the room closest to him.
Fortunately, the room was unlocked and there was no one inside. This saved him a lot of trouble...
At least when you enter, you don't have to knock out or kill everyone inside.
Annan usually did this when playing stealth games in the past.
He held the knife and leaned against the door. The weight of his body was evenly pressed against the door, and he listened carefully to the voices of the three people.
The purpose of pressing your body's weight against the door is to prevent the aging door shaft from being suddenly pressed forward when it suddenly leans forward. Therefore, it is necessary to hold it up slowly from the beginning.
In this case, as long as you open the door quickly enough, you won't make too much noise when opening the door.
"... Anyway, let's just stay here," a somewhat lazy voice said, "it's safer to keep an eye on John than to deal with that old immortal. That's a real wizard, not one of those liars who play tricks."
"I think it's best to stay here."
The guard who was the first to be killed by Annan interrupted: "In case your master's plan fails, we have a reason to explain it. Anyway, we didn't participate in the siege of Mr. Benjamin, so we just said that we were just lazy here... We will not be punished."
It's better than dying here.
"If your master's plan succeeds, we will also have made a contribution. We will not suffer any loss in the pros and cons. This is the best."
"Yeah, after all, John can't beat the three of us..."
The guard next to him who was frozen to death by Annan also agreed: "What you said makes sense. So, we are quite lucky."
"Of course..."
Listening to the three people's voices getting closer and closer, and then gradually getting farther away, the corners of Annan's mouth rose silently.
He opened the door and walked out of the room without hesitation, raising his sword.
Frost marks cover——
Among the three, an older guard heard a voice coming from behind him and subconsciously glanced back.
From the beginning, he never thought about the possibility of John leaving Don Juan's room and ambushing him here, so he had almost no vigilance.
Therefore, at the moment when his face showed a look of surprise, a streak of frost slashed straight towards his head!
The ice-white traces quickly spread from the contact point on his cheek, covering his entire head in an instant, making him unable to make any movement, and continued to spread downward——
The other two people heard the strange noise and cautiously reached for the weapons at their waists.
But before they even looked back, they felt a chill in the back of their heads, and then they lost consciousness.
"——Eat my righteous backstab again!"
Annan's warning sound, which was delayed for three and a half beats, came belatedly.
Although there are many things that have changed, your fate of eating backstabs will not change!
