【Loading Completed】

The world in front of me was pitch black, and only the data stream flowed rapidly downward. Annan stared at every word carefully, lest he miss any details.

Just as the loaded characters had faded away, an ethereal and illusory whisper suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Betrayers must die......"

It was a young man's voice, but it was like the cry of a drowning man, damp and full of resentment.

The next moment, Annan suddenly felt that he was being pushed hard.

"John? Wake up, John! ”

A rude male voice sounded in front of him: "How did you sleep!" Where did the young master go? ”

"Huh? Hmmm......"

Only then did Annan realize that he was sitting on the ground, asleep against two barrels behind him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a bearded man in his forties crouching in front of him with a straight face.

The man had a straight face and looked angry. But judging from the fact that he didn't kick himself directly, this man's temper should still be quite good.

"Ah, a little sleepy...... I'm sorry ......."

Annan replied somewhat vaguely.

After all, he had no idea what this person's name was or how it was related to him. That's all I can say.

But as soon as Annan's words came out, he himself paused.

Although the sound of his ears when he speaks, there is a big difference between the sound of his ears and the recordings he hears from the outside. But Annan was still keenly aware that the resentful words he had just heard were probably said by "John".

Who are the betrayers?

And what is the position of "Annan" on this ship?

And seeing that Annan was a little distracted when he replied with a word, the middle-aged man's voice became a little louder: "If you are sleepy, go and practice swords, don't be lazy here!"

"I shouldn't have let you stay in the cabin! You are really blind to the young master's attention to you! How do you take care of Young Master Don Juan like this, if he is captured, you won't know! ”

"I'm sorry......"

"Don't apologize, say 'yes, instructor'!"

"Yes, Instructor!"

Annan is as good as a stream.

He roughly understood the identity relationship between the two.

"Wait, Klaus......"

A childish, somewhat nervous voice sounded behind them.

The two looked away.

It was a young man who had just come down from the doorway, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

A young nobleman named Don Juan, he had short black hair and blue pupils similar to Annan, as well as equally fair skin. But his appearance was far less refined than Annan's, with freckles on his face, slightly high cheeks, and small eyes.

But from the white and tender skin on his hands and face, it can be seen that this is indeed a young man from a noble background, and he usually takes care of himself very cleanly.

The boy clutched a bag of small sugar cakes tightly in his hand. Noticing Instructor Klaus's gaze, he put the sugar cake behind him a little nervously, and commanded with a calm pretense: "Don't do this to John, Klaus!" John also ...... He didn't mean to......"

His voice was quite loud at first, but he quickly lost his confidence under the gaze of the middle-aged man.

Klaus only had a straight face, and explained to the noble boy very politely: "I am your chief of guard, and the Earl asked me to take care of you, and I will be responsible for your safety." In the North Sea Territory, the name of the Geraint family is far less useful than in the royal capital, where anything can happen. ”

"Isn't it you, anyway?"

The young earl's son didn't care much about it: "And Lord Benjamin. Father said that he was a silver-level wizard, could there be any danger in a remote place like the North Sea Territory......"

"Please don't make it difficult for me to be with Lord Earl, Master Don Juan."

Klaus's tone was slightly heavier: "At least on the surface, you were sent by Lord Earl. Even though I and Master Benjamin are behind in the dark, we can't help you much...... Also, it's almost time for dinner, no more sweets. ”

"Okay, okay, I got ......"

Don Juan Geraine's mouth was deflated, and he responded with some irritation.

Seeing that Don Juan didn't seem to be very convinced, Klaus completely turned his gun, and no longer paid attention to John but reprimanded little Don Juan fiercely. It wasn't until Don Juan lowered his head and stopped talking back that he snorted softly and turned to open the door and leave.

"Remember to be optimistic about the young master, John. Don't sleep anymore. ”

He finally warned Annan.

Annan immediately responded: "Yes, instructor! ”

Seeing this, Klaus nodded with satisfaction and left.

Seeing him leave, Don Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over to John's side and whispered, "That guy Klaus talks too much. Do I have to report to him what I eat? Really...... Thanks, John. I've got that thing. ”

Don Juan said and pointed to his left armpit, and said very proudly: "I sewed it into the sandwich of the clothes." ”

"I still think it's ......"

Annan muttered ambiguously, and didn't say much, just trying to pit out some new information.

Don Juan's face immediately sank: "You don't understand...... This thing can only be relieved if I put it close to me. ”

With that, he sighed.

"On this ship, there is not a single escort on this ship that is my man except you. They were either sent by my father or by my two older brothers. I have no one to trust but you, John. ”

"I'll protect you."

When Annan heard this, he immediately looked very moved, and said righteously: "You can trust John completely. ”

Although he felt that the tone of "John" was a little strange, Don Juan nodded reassuringly: "Then please...... By the way, John, you go ahead and pretend to be asleep. Remember to keep an eye on my package and don't let people get near it. I'll come back after dinner, and you'll go again.

"I always suspected that someone was trying to steal it. If anyone wants to approach, drive him away and tell me who it is privately. ”

"I understand."

Annan's heart moved, and he replied softly.

If you want to get close to ...... Isn't Klaus one?

But apparently Don Juan did not suspect him yet. So Annan was also smart and didn't say much.

He just thought about it for a moment, and said casually: "That's right, young master." Klaus just asked me where the other black-haired, blue-eyed kid on the ship was. How should I answer? ”

“…… Brunette and blue eyes? ”

Don Juan was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Impossible, this is the characteristic of the people of the Northland, only people in the Duchy of Winter will have black hair and blue eyes." If it weren't for my mother...... In short, there are simply no such people on this ship. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned slightly and confirmed, "Are you sure Klaus asked that?" ”

"Yes."

Annan replied solemnly: "Do I want to reply to him like this?" ”

"No...... Don't rush yet. If he brings it up again, you say that there is no such person at all—although there really isn't. ”

The black-haired boy was a little uneasy and instructed again: "What I just told you, don't tell him." ”

"Yes."

After Annan got the information he wanted, he also adhered to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes.

…… Are there no such people on this ship?

That is, "I" did not die on this ship? Well, yes, this ship was not shipwrecked at all, but was sacked and killed by traitors.

In this case......

Annan glanced at Don Juan, and his heart moved.

Maybe I can take his place.

Now we need to get more information about the world, especially the personal secrets that belong to Don Juan......

Watching Don Juan leave with the door, Annan felt fainting from being slapped with a brick in the back of his head again. But this time Annan is getting used to it.

He shook his head, and a large stream of data appeared in front of him.

[Even Count Geraint can't keep his youngest son, Don Juan Geraine. Perhaps Don Juan was sent to the most remote North Sea Territory, the last retreat he had laid for his son. 】

[The most important city in the North Sea Territory is the cold water port on the border with the Duchy of Winter. If the Geraint family survives the next catastrophe, then he can naturally return to the royal capital; If the Geraint family suffers a catastrophe, he can at least flee to the sphere of influence of a neighboring country and apply for refuge as soon as possible. 】

[But apparently, poor Don Juan Geraine didn't make it to Frozen Water Harbor alive]

[His most loyal bodyguard, John, is no different—]

After these traces faded, new words resurfaced before Annan's eyes:

[Main Quest: Complete John's Unfulfilled Wish]

Immediately, a large area of small print quickly appeared under this line:

[Find out the true identity of the betrayer]

【Live until dinner starts】

[Don't let Don Juan Gerainte drink poisoned wine]

“…… O betrayer. ”

Annan was thoughtful.

He suddenly remembered the resentful, resentful, underwater whisper he had spoken from when he had just entered the dungeon.

"Betrayers must die......"

For now, Annan thinks the most suspicious thing seems to be the chief of the guard, Klaus.

John was ordered to pretend to sleep in the room, in order to make it easier for him to stay in the room. In this way, if he is bumped into by someone, he will not startle the snake - from this point of view, the young master Don Juan still has some brains.

However, he did not seem to believe that the captain of the guard that his father had hired was the one who intended to steal his treasure. On the contrary, it was the nonsense he just said that made the little young master suspicious of Klaus.

Obviously...... At least in Don Juan's opinion, Klaus had no motive to take away his treasure, but he probably had bad intentions about his origins.

“…… This kind of decryption difficulty can indeed only be regarded as an easy level. ”

Glancing at the details of the three missions that were derived from the main quest, Annan sighed.

Forget it, after all, this game involves the safety of your own life. Let's take it a little more seriously.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and used his brain: "What would I do if I were John?"

"John was a very loyal guard. Probably the only one loyal to Don Juan...... If you think about it from this point, he probably never left this place.

"Well, he must have died without knowing who betrayed Don Juan, and was killed before dinner began. But he knew that Don Juan would be doused with poisoned wine......"

Annan did not overlook a single detail.

John was the only one who died on deck. There was only one trail of blood on the deck, and it was under John.

So, John eventually left the room. And when he left the room, it was when John was betrayed and died.

On the other hand, if John's last wish is to be fulfilled, he must not stay here. Otherwise, it's a repetition of what happened to John.

You have a maximum of three chances, so you need to get at least some useful and advantageous information this time.

If only it was known who was on board the ship who were traitors, when and where they were going to do it...... This kind of information will be used next time.

Squatting here will not know anything.

Gotta get out of here.

— but not for Don Juan to find out.

Annan's thinking became clearer.
