Before Annan came out of the secret passage, he had activated his spell.

- "The Last Work: David".

It was a nine-year-old child who walked into the secret passage, but what finally came out of the secret passage was a kind middle-aged man who was half a head shorter than him, with black hair and black eyes, and deep facial features.

“…… This height difference is too ruthless. ”

Suddenly changed from the body of the young Annan to "Gilandaio David Buonaro", Annan felt a little dizzy for a moment. After taking two more steps in the secret passage, he finally got used to it.

Basically, every time he used this spell, Annan had to adapt to his height at this level for a period of time before he could re-establish a correct sense of space and distance.

Annan stepped out of the corner of the garden and followed the road to the kitchen.

It's not because he's hungry...... It's because when Annan and Kaphne were passing by here before, there was a person who showed a flaw.

It was a young man with red curly hair and freckles.

When he saw Annan and Kaphne passing by, he showed a hint of murderous intent towards them for no reason.

And Annan and Kaphne, both walked over casually at that time, as if they didn't notice it at all. Therefore, there should be no scarelessness.

But it doesn't even go without saying Kaphni...... Even with Annan's own perceptual attributes, the killing intent at this distance is as clear as the high beams that light up at night.

An important piece of information is that Kaphne didn't know him. This shows that he is not Noah's top executive...... But he was able to move around the kitchen with ease.

And the possibility that that person was from the Duchy of Winter is much smaller than this. It can be said that there are almost none.

Then from this detail, Annan can be sure of one thing.

- This shows that there is a very serious problem with the security system of the royal palace.

It was a crucial moment – the old king's birthday and the visit of the principality's heir. But there were people Kaphne had never seen before......

Annan's use of the image of "David" to walk on the road in a grand manner is actually a kind of temptation.

He wanted to see if he would be stopped.

Not to mention being mistaken for Noah's top management.

At this point in time, with the exception of Michelangelo...... It is impossible for almost everyone to know who "David" is.

But he walked all the way smoothly.

The patrolling guards did notice Annan. But they only watched Annan with some vigilance, but did not interrogate Annan's whereabouts, but just stopped talking, stood in place, and watched Annan leave without any words.

It's just ridiculously loose.

Annan was relieved.

- This proves another thing.

That is, these royal guards are not the direct force of the rotten church. They were apparently instructed not to intercept and interrogate strangers for a certain period of time.

So, who is it?

An object of suspicion immediately popped into Annan's mind.

The Third Prince, Philip Noah.

It was the man who tried to murder Don Juan Geraint and the master of the Captain of the Guard, Klaus.

Does he have the authority to command the guards?

Annan had a lot of speculation in his head, and most of them were disproved at the first moment.

By this time, Annan had already come to the kitchen.

Based on Kaphni's instructions, Annan speculated that the ritual core here should be in the basement of the kitchen.

He saw the sneaky red-haired man again.

He was already standing in the kitchen doorway, clasped to his chest, anxiously waiting for something.

But something that Annan expected was that when he saw Annan and Kaphne before, he had shown murderous intent, but when he saw David, he showed a relieved look.

And there is no hostility.

Annan realized this, and walked in front of him calmly.

At this distance, Annan could paralyze his movements with his "lazy eye" at any time.

And after Annan stood still, the man whispered, "Why is you so late?"

"Two kids just passed by. Without further ado, I'll go first...... The rest is up to you. ”

"Two children passing by...... Is there really a problem on your side? ”

Annan's heart moved, and he followed his words and asked with some dissatisfaction.

He asked the other party what he had just mentioned. This can minimize the other party's vigilance - if Annan meets for the first time, he suddenly "yes, it's ...... to say" to open the topic, and the other party may suddenly become suspicious of Annan.

And under Annan's outstanding acting skills and cliché ability, the man just said impatiently: "Anyway, the two of them didn't go in...... You hurry up. The task on my side has been completed, and I'm leaving. If you don't leave, you can't leave. ”

Annan glanced at him and walked into the kitchen without much of a deal.

But in his heart, it was already dawned on him—

Many fragments of clues, in the moment just now, were connected in Annan's mind:

Yes, Konoe's anomaly, Kafne's mother who had disappeared, and this suspicious man dared to stand in front of the kitchen......

This can only say one thing.

These Rotters - assuming they are Rotten Cultists, at this time, they are not deeply corrupted by Noah's higher-ups.

In order to avoid the failure of the plan, being captured alive, or betraying them, everyone only knows what their part of the mission is about. In addition, they don't know each other and don't know each other's tasks, and they only carry out task handovers through pre-agreed passwords and other means.

There were quite a few people in the kitchen, but they were all busy inside - there were many wooden barrels of fish in the doorway.

Annan glanced around.

He noticed that no one was looking—not even that he had entered the kitchen.

In front of him was the basement of the kitchen.

- but not at this time.

The "NPC" that completes the shift mission can't suddenly disappear. If Annan took the place of someone and completed the handover of tasks with him...... So even if Annan arrived a few minutes earlier than that person, there would probably not be much he could do after entering the basement.

Time is limited after all.

There is a high probability that these two people will meet on the road......

Annan turned his head slightly, looking at the red-haired man who had not gone far.

In the pupils of "David", a little fierce light was instantly revealed.

Without waiting for the red-haired man to leave, Annan quietly followed behind him.

As he approached the man, Annan suddenly reached out and pressed the man's mouth—while his other hand pressed on the back of the man's heart, which instantly turned blue-black.

- Cold Contact!

The man didn't have time to struggle, or even make a sound, and fainted. I'm afraid he didn't know who had attacked him until he fell unconscious.

Annan put him on his shoulder with ease, turned back in three steps and two steps, opened the barrel containing the fish, and stuffed the man into it haphazardly. In order to prevent him from waking up halfway, Annan also punched him in the back of the head with his marble fist.

That way he shouldn't wake up easily.
