"Looks like we can't leave for the time being......"

Annan sighed.

He looked around and invited, "Shall we find a place to sit down and talk?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Gilandaio.

His meaning is simple.

This cheerful uncle 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 minute, everybody...... Don't worry just yet. ”

Receiving Annan's hint, Miss Claire was the first to react.

She looked at Ghirlandaio suspiciously, pursing her lips.

"Actually, I was a little skeptical before I walked in the door, but I was embarrassed to talk about it......

"Shouldn't we all be 'no teachers, no classmates and no apprentices'?

"But when you were out there, you used to say...... Your teacher is Master Michelangelo.

"All of us, but we only sent it here after we got the letter. There is no doubt that your suspicion is the greatest. ”

Hearing Claire's words, other people who didn't hear this also reacted.

They also looked at Gilandaio.

Gilandaio wasn't flustered either.

He just shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice, "I did know for a long time that the teacher was dead. But I didn't kill the teacher......"

As he spoke, he took out a letter that he had brought with him.

Expand for everyone to see.

I saw that the letter simply said: "I will die soon, and I will dismiss all my disciples here." ”

Underneath the letter, there is Michelangelo's signature.

"This is the edict letter."

When Mary saw the letter, she explained, "This is an edict spell used by high-ranking wizards and high-ranking military officials to convey orders. The words written in the edict letter are preserved and taken as a formal commitment. ”

As she spoke, she cautiously pressed her hand on the letter's signature.

"—Answer: Your name."

She rebuked in a cold and immature voice.

Soon, a relief of the head of an old man appeared on the letter, and he replied, "Michelangelo Buonaro." ”

—Answer: The time when the letter was written.

"June 30, 1498."

The voice was exactly the same as the old man before.

Subsequently, the head was again submerged in the letter.

Maria nodded and confirmed, "It's true, it's written by Master Michelangelo." The severance period is five months ago.

"The letter does have the force of law – his apprentices have all been dismissed."

Annan blinked.

Wait a minute......

Isn't Maria Winter a wizard of the School of Disabilities? Is it the Imperial Decree School?

He realized that he might have made a preconceived mistake.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late for him to realize.

Still, his guidance worked.

At least everyone realized that Ghirlandaeo was a disciple of Master Michelangelo. That's it......

So Annan's face once again had a gentle look.

He smiled bitterly and whispered on the side: "Okay, okay...... It's all my fault, and I shouldn't have mentioned this at this time.

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk, shall we?"

"Speaking of which," said Maria, suddenly, "you are the most dangerous of us, right?" ”

She was referring to Annan.

Or rather, David Gerald.

As a wizard of the School of Soul Snatchers, he is almost always invincible in one-on-one combat.

While no one can wake up the person who is being controlled, Gerald also carries a powerful spell stolen from Zedi Black Tower.

If you want to say that among their group of silver-level wizards, who is most likely to kill Master Michelangelo, who is infinitely close to the Truth Class...... It was only Gerald.

- And this speculation is naturally also expected by Annan.

Rather, that's why he came out first. The purpose is to make others doubt themselves...... And to express your doubts.

"I see what you mean, Your Highness......"

Annan smiled bitterly, and his expression gradually became serious.

He raised his left hand and turned the ring around.

In the vigilant gaze of all, solemnly swear:

"I set a spell here—"

He whispered, "Until the dust settles on this incident, I will renounce all spells!" ”

As soon as the words fell, an illusory rune appeared in front of his eyes, and then disappeared.

Annan felt his heart entangled in something.

Because of this, his heart pumped faster - Gerald's weak wizard body was finally able to keep up with Annan's actions.

After that, Annan smiled apologetically at everyone: "Is this okay?" I just want to get a piece of the inheritance and live...... I have no intention of fighting you.

"I know that being in the same room with a Soul Reaver is unsettling for you. Inability to think calmly...... That's why I banned my spell abilities. In that case, you can rest assured, right? ”

“…… You don't have to. ”

Maria looked at Annan with a somewhat complicated expression.

She didn't expect that her tentative words would make "Gerald" give up her spell directly and neatly.

The Soul Reaver is not like a Wizard of Destruction or an Edict Wizard - no spells are required, and the body or words alone are devastating.

It's not like a disabled wizard, with some part-time melee professions.

Not even as good as a prophetic shaman...... At least the intuition of danger is sharp enough.

The Soul Reaver has banned his spell casting abilities, almost giving up resistance altogether...... If you can't check other people's emotions and thoughts, it's hard to even deceive them.

You know, although the rules say "a murderer can't kill". But the Soul Reaver didn't have to kill to easily control the situation.

This spell is an advantage for Gerald, Ghirlandaio, Maria, and Eugene Melvin, four wizards who are not good at brute force attacks, but are proficient in control.

Even if they kill someone in the White Tower, they can use their spells to control the enemy.

Anyway, the spell only says don't let people kill.

- but it doesn't say that you can't "attack" others.

Although he still has a powerful spell on him......

But Gerald had it, and they didn't?

In short, "Gerald" has voluntarily given up this struggle for inheritance.

After Annan cast a temporary curse, the other people's wariness of him gradually dissipated.

This is exactly what Annan planned.

As a Soul Snatcher on the surface, he must be the most vigilant one of all.

No one would let a dangerous person who can control his mind with a word or a look wander around. Once someone decides to kill someone, at the very beginning, and at the "moment of indiscriminate killing", which is also the "moment of indiscriminate killing", a dangerous person like Annan will usually be the first to sacrifice to heaven.

Since you don't know who to kill, let's rule out the most dangerous one first.

After all, a person can only kill one.

What if he survived to the end?

It's called just in case.

That's certainly how people think.

And Annan had already roughly guessed Maria's character.

She's the kind of person who says whatever comes to her mind and does whatever she wants. Annan's two consecutive openings with rhythm are bound to arouse suspicion...... And Mary will definitely voice her doubts.

At that time, Annan can borrow the slope to get off the donkey and directly ban his spell-casting ability in front of everyone.

- He really doesn't have the ability to cast spells anyway.

In this way, even if some people still suspect that they are murderers, they will tend to wait for the "most dangerous person" to be killed, and then they will move the idea of being a person who "can be subdued and killed at any time".

After all, Gerald is already equivalent to a sheep in their own sheepfold in their eyes. If he is really a murderer, then he is forbidden to kill people and cannot cast spells, he is completely unable to resist others and cannot escape at all.

You can kill at any time, so you don't have to rush it.

This will save you from dying on the "first night".

Yes, Annan was roughly aware.

Whoever the killer is and whether he wants to kill the murderer or not, Annan needs to drag the ritual into a situation where "there are only four people left".

Then his general method of clearing the customs is to mix in the crowd and secretly help the murderer. That is, the "hidden wolf" in the werewolf killing.

But if you want to clear the game perfectly......

Annan needs to stab the real murderer in the back when there are still five people left.

Because there is a need to avoid conflicts.

Therefore, Annan could only use the curse of hammer death to murder him at regular intervals without his knowledge.

In this case, Annan's positioning is the "traitor" in the Three Kingdoms.

No matter which ......

Annan needs to let his "teammate" be the first to realize his existence.
