Annan felt a little sick in his stomach just by hearing this.
The old king is old and the new king has not yet ascended the throne. This almost means that the kingdom will inevitably be in chaos during this period.
In addition, in three days, the closed beta will begin. Players will arrive... This unknown kingdom may be completely in chaos.
...Speaking of which, Annan still doesn’t know the name of this kingdom.
But it's okay.
As long as His Majesty the King didn't want Don Juan's life from the bottom of his heart, he would always be able to do so.
It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to ask "Don Juan" what political stance he should hold. This will avoid accidentally exposing the secret...
"Of course I agree to join the gang... Speaking of which, where is your lordship?"
"Of course it's His Majesty's side. That's the eldest princess's side."
The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He thought that no one in this world would dare to make fun of a prince or future king, so he relaxed and became much more approachable: "The Geraint family contributed a lot to your majesty's accession to the throne... But you also know,
Old Crow will not support His Highness the Third Prince’s ascension to the throne.”
Annan nodded solemnly.
No, actually I don't know.
He thought for a while, and asked tentatively in John's tone: "But I still don't understand... why didn't they go to the earl, but to the young master? If something happens to the young master, the earl will go crazy.
,How can we escape?"
"Your Majesty the Earl will not know about this."
The captain of the guard was still a little impatient about this matter: "This ship will be faked as a shipwreck, and the sails will be burned by us. It will remain floating on the sea and will not dock for a long time. By then we will have run away."
But Annan asked a few more questions. Mr. Claus, the chief of guard, had the attitude of "I can't beat him anyway" and reluctantly answered: "What the Third Prince wants is just the Geraint family's signet ring.
"
——Fake letters!
Annan reacted immediately.
The purpose of Klaus and the others is to keep "Don Juan" alive and take away the signet ring! In this way, they can forge a letter sent by someone from the Geraint family...whether it is sent to the earl or using
Giving false testimony can have corresponding effects.
Annan suddenly felt his stomach hurt even more.
Why did you get involved in such trouble as soon as you landed?
Moreover, since their purpose is to take away the ring, when they exit the nightmare, they may not find the ring at all on the ship...
Suddenly, Annan was startled.
wrong.
Klaus lied-
During the last week, Annan saw Klaus commanding his betrayers to search Don Juan's room.
He clearly remembered that they were looking for "a piece of paper". This piece of paper was sewn into the middle of the clothes under the left armpit by Don Juan. The ring and seal were just "looking for it by the way".
Annan's heart trembled.
What if Klaus is using a slightly unimportant thing to cover up another more important thing?
This shows that the value of this piece of paper is even more important than a prince's plan to seize power!
But Annan did not alert the enemy.
He just pretended to be concerned and continued to ask: "What about Mr. Benjamin? How do we deal with him?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just follow my instructions."
Klaus was deflected by Annan's acting. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied briskly: "The eldest young master is on the same side as us. Without him, we wouldn't dare to do such a thing. This will be criticized.
It's a job of silencing people. The eldest young master has top-secret information about the Geraint family... including Benjamin's weaknesses.
"That's right, let's go up together. If you are here, you can also make the young master relax more..."
"One last request."
Annan hesitated for a moment, but still took the risk of being exposed and asked: "I want the complete ritual process of the Tongue in the Mirror."
"Okay, but I also need to know who your master is."
Klaus agreed without hesitation: "The wooden-headed John I know is not so smart. You have been pretending to be a fool for so long just to get around Don Juan, right?
"Who asked you to come?"
"Of course it's the Duke."
"...Duke? Well...which Duke?"
When he heard the word Duke, the muscles on Klaus' face suddenly twitched.
He hesitated for a moment, and then asked. But his voice was much softer, and his tone was not so aggressive: "Is it convenient?"
"A duke with black hair and blue eyes...you know."
Annan replied vaguely.
He wanted to take advantage of Klaus, a fool, and ask him for some information about the Duke of Winter.
But when he heard Annan's answer, Klaus's pupils suddenly shrank slightly. He fell silent and cleared his throat in embarrassment, not daring to continue asking.
"This ritual of mine is knowledge from the Zhengshen Church. You are not allowed to spread it outside. I did not get it from formal channels."
Klaus just warned: "This is a copy of knowledge that I have traded with others before... It is produced by the Church of the Righteous God. It does very little damage to you and the effect is very stable. It is not like those false gods' rituals that are prone to problems. You
It's best to understand in your heart that once this knowledge is leaked, both you and I will suffer."
"The Orthodox Church?"
Annan made a right question.
Sure enough, Klaus couldn't bear it anymore and explained: "It's not the church of Sir Silver. Although our Kingdom of Noah does welcome the priests of Sir Silver... But if you don't have money, those stingy people won't teach you.
Give you any magic or ritual."
Annan immediately made a disappointed expression.
At the same time, he took a deep breath and wrote down the somewhat strange name of the god "Sir Silver".
His grandma knows the name of this country...
Klaus clicked his tongue before replying: "This is the ceremony of the 'Mysterious Lady'... I don't know how much the Grand Duke has told you, so I'll start from the beginning. Remember it carefully. I'll only say it once - too much."
Your spirit must not be able to bear it."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly changed, becoming low and hoarse. It was like a tape recorder was turned on in his throat and a voice belonging to someone else was played out:
"The materials for this ritual are 'the souls of those who knew the crime in advance but kept silent about it', 'the blood of male adults who have never killed anyone', and 'the tongues of bulls who voluntarily took poison and died',"
Shoes that have never been stained with mud', 'a mirror no larger than your own head', plus a scoop of sea water that has been out of the sea for no more than a day.
"The ritual is very simple. The specific content is to engrave or embroider any of the secret texts belonging to the mysterious lady on the cow's tongue as a 'lock', and also engrave or embroider its symmetry on your own tongue as a 'key'
'.
"Then mix the blood and seawater, put the cow tongue on the mirror, with the secret side facing up. Release the sinner's soul, put on the ceremonial shoes, and walk around the blood floor as many times as you like, clockwise and counterclockwise.
, but remember the number of circles. This is the 'opening of the door' and the ceremony is complete.
"After that, you can't leave your ceremony site too far. The specific length limit is your own two thousand six hundred steps. If you exceed this distance, you will be responsible for the consequences.
"When you cancel the ceremony, just wear those shoes and walk backwards once in the number of circles you set, just like 'closing the door'. But before February 1st, you must cancel the ceremony, regardless of this
How long did the ritual last? Similarly, do not use this ritual before February has passed, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences——"
At this point, Klaus's strange "retelling" state also ended.
He cleared his throat, turned his gaze to Annan, and at the same time moved his right hand towards the hilt of the sword without any trace: "It's that simple. Well... can you still bear it?"
"……fine."
Annan looked very reluctant, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly.
Klaus nodded seemingly with concern, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his right hand returned to its previous position: "It seems that you knew a lot about this ceremony before... Then you still have some points, and you didn't go
Ask for forbidden knowledge that your own spirit cannot bear."
Annan didn't say anything, but continued to nod vigorously, looking like he was struggling.
But Annan was very confused.
Annan probably knew what the other party was planning.
In Klaus's opinion, if he told this knowledge, "John" might roll on the ground and lose the ability to resist. He must have bad intentions.
But it was different from what Klaus thought.
Annan didn't have any special feelings at all.
I don’t feel any pain, itching, or dizziness. I just feel like I exercised too much just now and it’s almost time for dinner, so I’m a little hungry...
That's why he could only perform in such a general way.
Considering Annan's acting skills, this is almost a shame.
But the problem is that Annan doesn't know what he should play.
What can he do? He is also desperate.
He didn't even know whether he should be nauseated or have a headache, vomiting or chest pain at this time... He could only make an expression like he was holding in his shit.
Anyway, no matter what the uncomfortable state is, this expression is always universal.
Seeing Annan "quickly digesting the forbidden knowledge", Klaus gritted his teeth and continued casually: "Also, remember to arrange for a guard in front of the ceremony venue. Otherwise, if someone replaces the cow,
tongue, you will be deprived of control of the ritual just like me. This unpopular ritual itself has very low requirements and can be used by bronze-level extraordinary people. Because it comes from the Zhengshen Church, there are no random random effects..."
When he said this, the corner of his mouth rose up sarcastically: "But, under normal circumstances, this ritual can only be used by the benefactor who can carve an inscription on the soul. And it must 'reverse the inscription'. But the only one who has mastered it is
The church with the inverted inscription belongs to the "Lady of Silence", the god of veto and darkness, rather than the "Lady of Mystery".
"Thanks to His Highness the Third Prince who found a special cursed mirror for me, I was able to activate this ritual. This was made by the Mysterious Lady Church and was specially used to replace the cursed mirror that reverses the inscription to start this ritual. And because it is not
If it is turned on normally, I still need to compensate for a large amount of souls to barely maintain the ritual... When the corpse rots, the ritual will automatically end, and it is completely uncontrollable."
At this point, Klaus smiled proudly: "So if you learn this, it won't be of much use, because you still have to find a way to get such a mirror."
...This is probably why he agreed so readily just now.
Annan smacked his lips when he heard the words, sighed again, and followed Klaus without saying a word.
This actually made Klaus feel much happier.
But Klaus couldn't see it, and Annan looked at him with pity.
This unlucky kid...
When I got this ritual, I was either greedy or desperate. I don’t know how long it took before I got a "cursed" mirror that could barely be used as a substitute. It was like finally buying a huge 3A masterpiece.
, and then find that he can’t carry the computer at all, just like a silly child.
