Nice, everything went smoothly.

I got some new information......

Annan in the form of David squinted slightly, and walked around the corner and into the basement of the kitchen as if nothing had happened.

Ferdinand's pockets were empty, except for the letter and the silver pocket watch. Not even a single silver coin.

But Annan got a surprise.

- The pistol.

It's even a spell.

Because when Annan picked it up, its properties panel was revealed:

【Miss.Quiet】

[Type: Weapon (Purple)]

[Description: A silent gun.] Its built-in 9mm bullet is as silent as it is. 】

[Effect: From the moment the trigger is pulled to the time the bullet is fired, there will be no sound during the whole process; A person who is hit by a bullet from this weapon is unlikely to make any sound for ten seconds; For every hour of silence the wielder, the weapon is automatically reloaded with one bullet, up to a maximum of four. 】

[Cost: The wielder will be cursed with "No More Words" and "Whispers of the Arrogant"]

[Don't say more: If the wielder is attacked before he finishes speaking, the attack ignores defenses]

[Whisper of the Arrogant: If this weapon is in possession and engages in four consecutive rounds of dialogue with the target, and declares that it is about to attack before attacking, then the attack will be successful and ignore the defense]

This seems to be a similar ability to the field to which Tongue in the Mirror belongs.

After seeing the [Whispers of the Arrogant], Annan finally knew why [Unspeakable] gave him a strange feeling......

I'm afraid [unspeakable] is a prefix for a series of spells, and the purpose is to bind the spells themselves.

For example, the Tongue in the Mirror, for example, the Whispers of the Arrogant.

And Annan suddenly felt a little chilled-

He thought about it.

After Ferdinand took out the gun, he really only had four rounds of dialogue with himself!

It's just that when Ferdinand spoke in the fourth round of dialogue, Annan was concentrating on reading the letter and did not reply...... And when he tried the fourth round of dialogue for the second time, Annan had already used [Lazy Eye] to hypnotize the other party.

If Annan hadn't been so decisive, just a little later......

Wait until the sentence "Look, it is mentioned above ......" is finished, and Annan responds.

Ferdinand was bound to shoot suddenly.

- because this gun does not need to be aimed at the enemy at all to hit. And there is no need to worry about the gunfire attracting other people......

Once Annan is hit by his definite attack, Ferdinand can pull out his pistol and fire three more shots in a row, killing Annan straight in place!

Although Ferdinand's letter did not describe the physical characteristics of the red-haired brother, he still became suspicious of Annan and had murderous intentions!

And Ferdinand is well hidden...... Until the end, Annan's perception did not warn him.

…… Was it that time?

Annan recalled that when Ferdinand saw the silver ring in the hand of "David", his eyes suddenly paused.

Does he think I'm a silver-tier wizard?

With such vigilance in mind, Annan deliberately wasted some thoughts - he used Ferdinand's clothes to bandage his head into a large rice dumpling.

After that, Annan stuffed him into a bucket of fish.

That heavy punch was enough to send Ferdinand into a moderate concussion; The more confined space inside the bucket, coupled with the clothing on his head, can further prolong his wakefulness. It doesn't matter if you accidentally kill him.

But to be on the safe side, Annan must also come out within twenty minutes-

According to Annan's common sense, a concussion of this magnitude is generally from a coma of twenty minutes to half an hour. Retrograde forgetfulness could not be expected, so Annan had to take him away, extract a confession, and execute him before he came to his senses.

- and then Annan strangled the red hair, who was also in a coma, to death.

Although Annan felt it before, it seemed that the red-haired friend's skull had been accidentally hammered by himself...... But just in case.

It would not have been good if he had come to his senses and shouted loudly, and then someone had found Ferdinand in a coma.

Let's do it quickly.

As soon as he entered the basement, Annan clamped the silver coin between his right fingers again. And the gun, called "Miss Quiet", was put into David's overly loose left cuff by Annan.

In the basement of the kitchen, there was a white chill visible to the naked eye.

It's not so much a basement as it is a cold storage.

The temperature is at least below zero.

The chill that was enough to make ordinary people shiver soon after entering was meaningless to Annan's marble torso today.

Annan looked around and saw lots of fresh meat and vegetables on different shelves. He also saw something bulging in bags, I don't know if it was food or something, piled up in the corner of a certain room.

The basement of the kitchen was very spacious, about the size of the warehouse where Vasily was staying. But the difference is that there is a twist and turn here...... Each room was only ten to twenty square meters, and Annan had already walked through five or six rooms inside.

Suddenly, Annan stopped.

Because he saw another person.

An old man with gray hair and a rough linen robe sat cross-legged on the altar with his back to Annan.

It was a very strange way to sit.

His spine looked like a nail had been pierced from top to bottom - straight and straight, and a red gem was placed on top of his head. It just happened to be connected to his spine.

And at this moment, Annan looked from behind...... It can be clearly seen that a red thread was left from the ruby, dipped out of the old man's back, and entered the altar.

The altar spreads this laser-like red thread into a complex circle of six intersecting rings, two of which extend from the ring to form an angle of one hundred and twenty degrees.

- Found it.

This should be the tip of that six-pointed star.

"Raven, take it."

The old man made a very thin voice: "Be careful, don't step on the red line......"

He seemed to be running out of gas—it was hard to keep his eyes open.

He didn't see that it wasn't Ferdinand who walked in...... It's Annan.

But Annan did not pass.

He just looked at the old man and silently took out the word "quiet".

A pistol was aimed at the old man's back.

—the red thread on his back that leads to the jewel.

"If you want to do it...... Crow. I advise you to take the primer stone first. ”

The old man said slowly, and let out a hoarse voice: "The spine is the root of the earth. If the roots are broken, the tree dies...... When the tree dies, the fruit falls. Primers are fragile. ”

…… A ceremonial master.

How much does he have to do with this ritual?

When Annan heard this, his heart moved, and he shifted the muzzle of the gun slightly.

But it's not heart-biased...... It's the thighs.

Then Annan pulled the trigger.

He silently pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out silently, and hit the target silently. The whole process is as funny as a silent movie, and it has no sense of reality.

But when the old man opened his eyes and trembled at the sudden pain—he grew his mouth up, but he didn't make a sound.

He just sat forward, then fell silently to the side, his body silently hitting the ground, and let out a silent wail at the top of his throat. The ruby fell from the top of his head, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

Then, it shattered.

Like an excessively abundant red fruit, it falls to the ground and becomes a puddle of mud...... The red gem smashed on the ground, but it turned into a puddle of soft red mud like red crystal mud being smashed on the ground.

The red beam shattered instantly, but the red six rings on the ground were just hidden.

Annan stepped forward without hesitation and dragged the old man off the altar.

At the same time, Annan tore off his robe and threw it away; Put his hands together and hold them tightly with his left hand. And with the help of the temporary height advantage, lift the old man off the ground and keep his tail vertebrae away from the ground.

"You've been caught by me, old sir."

In Annan's mouth, the cheerful voice of "David" sounded: "Now—I ask, you answer." ”

Annan said and placed his right hand in front of the old man.

His trembling body made him see a silver coin poking out from between Annan's fingers.

"Okay, I'll treat you. Heal all the wounds on your body. ”

Annan said gently: "But if you don't answer well......"

Annan said, raising his right hand horizontally to the right.

A silver blade stabbed silently from between Annan's fingers.

"You, understand?"

Annan said, slowly saying, "Remember...... Be quiet. ”

At this point, the effect of silence is over.

The old man nodded tremblingly, trembling his body, enduring the pain, and whispered, "I...... I'll be quiet. ”

"Good."

Annan asked calmly, "The first question, who are you?" ”
