"It seems that we can't leave for the time being..."
Annan sighed.
He looked around and invited, "Shall we find a place first and sit down to talk?"
After speaking, he took advantage of the situation and looked at Ghirlandaio.
His meaning is very simple.
This cheerful uncle with black hair and black eyes should be the only one among them who knows his way.
— After all, he was originally a student of Master Michelangelo.
"Wait a minute, everyone... don't worry."
After receiving Annan's hint, Miss Clare was the first to react.
She looked at Ghirlandaio suspiciously, and pursed her lips tightly.
"Actually, I had some doubts before I entered the door, but I was not ashamed to say...
"Shouldn't we candidates all be 'no teachers, no classmates, no apprentices'
"But when you were outside, you once said... your teacher is Master Michelangelo.
"All of us sent here after we got the letter. There is no doubt that you are the most suspicious."
Hearing Claire's words, other people who didn't hear these words also reacted one after another.
They also looked at Ghirlandaio.
Ghirlandaio was not in a panic either.
He just shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "I did know that the teacher is dead. But I didn't kill the teacher..."
As he spoke, he took out a letter that he carried with him.
Expand it for everyone to see.
I saw the simple words on the letter: "I will die soon, and I will dismiss all disciples here."
Below the letter, there is Michelangelo's signature.
"This is the imperial order."
Maria saw the letter and explained to everyone: "This is an edict spell used when high-level wizards and high-level leaders of various military forces convey orders. The words written in the edict letter will be preserved and regarded as Formal commitment."
As she spoke, she cautiously placed her hand on the signature of the letter.
"—Answer: your name."
She reprimanded in a cold and immature voice.
Soon, the embossed head of an old man appeared on the letter, and he opened his mouth to answer: "Michelangelo Buonaro."
"—Answer: Time to write the letter."
"June 30, 1498."
The voice was exactly the same as the old man before.
Afterwards, the human head disappeared into the letter again.
Maria nodded and confirmed: "It's true, it was written by Master Michelangelo. The dismissal time was five months ago.
"The letter does have the force of law—his apprentices have been dismissed."
Annan blinked.
etc…
Isn't Maria Lindong a wizard of the disabled school? But the imperial edict school
He realized that he might have made a preconceived mistake.
Fortunately, he realized it was not too late.
Still, his guidance worked.
At least let everyone realize that Ghirlandaio is a disciple of Master Michelangelo. That's it...
So Annan had a gentle look on his face again.
He smiled wryly, and softly persuaded from the side: "Okay, okay... It's all my fault, I shouldn't mention this at this time.
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk, shall we?"
"Speaking of which," Maria said suddenly, "you should be the most dangerous of us, right?"
She was referring to Annan.
Or rather, David Gerald.
As a wizard of the Soul Seizing School, he is almost always invincible in one-on-one battles.
While no one can wake up the controlled person, Gerald still carries a powerful spell stolen from the Black Tower of the Marsh.
If you want to say who among their group of silver-level wizards is most likely to kill Michelangelo, who is infinitely close to the truth level... only Gerald.
——And this guess was naturally expected by Annan.
Rather, this is why he came out first to speak. The purpose is to make others doubt themselves... and to express doubts.
"I understand what you mean, Your Highness..."
Annan smiled wryly, his expression gradually becoming serious.
He raised his left hand and turned the ring around.
In the vigilant eyes of everyone, I solemnly swear:
"I place a spell here—"
He chanted in a low voice: "Before the dust of this incident settles, I will give up using all spells!"
As soon as the words fell, an illusory rune appeared in front of his eyes, and then disappeared.
Annan felt his heart was wrapped in something.
Because of this, his heart pumped faster—Gerald, with his frail wizard body, could finally keep up with Annan's actions.
After that, Annan smiled apologetically at the crowd: "Is this okay? I just want to get a share of the inheritance and live on... I don't intend to fight with you.
"I know that being in the same room with a soul-stealing wizard will make you uneasy. You can't think calmly... So I banned my spell ability. In this way, you can rest assured, right?"
"...you don't have to."
Maria looked at Annan with a complicated expression.
She also didn't expect that her tentative sentence would make "Gerald" give up her spell directly and neatly.
Reapers are not like wizards of destruction and wizards of order - no spells are needed, and the body or words alone can kill.
It doesn't look like a disabled wizard either, with a part-time job of some melee profession.
Not even as good as a prophetic wizard... At least the intuition for danger is keen enough.
The Soul Reaper blocked his spellcasting ability, which almost meant giving up resistance completely... If he couldn't check other people's emotions and thoughts, it would be very difficult to deceive others.
You know, although the rules say "a murderer cannot kill". But the Soul Reaper could easily control the situation without killing people.
This curse is actually an advantage for Gerald, Ghirlandaio, Maria, and Eugene Melvin, the four wizards who are not good at violent attacks but are proficient in control.
Even if they kill people in the White Tower, they can still use magic to control the enemy.
Anyway, the curse only says that killing is not allowed.
— But it didn't say that you shouldn't "attack" others.
Although he still has a powerful spell on him...
But Gerald had it, didn't they
In short, "Gerald" has already voluntarily given up the fight for the right of succession.
After Annan issued the temporary spell, the other people's vigilance towards him gradually dissipated.
This is exactly Annan's plan.
On the surface, as a soul-stealing wizard, he must be the one everyone is most wary of.
No one will let a dangerous person who can control his heart with a word or a look wander around. Once someone decides to kill, at the very beginning and the "moment of random killing" with the fewest clues, dangerous people like Annan are usually 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
This is called just in case.
That's how people think.
And Annan has roughly guessed Maria's character.
She is the kind of person who says what she thinks and does what she thinks. Annan opened his mouth twice in a row with a rhythm, which will inevitably arouse people's suspicion...and Maria will definitely express his doubts.
At that time, Annan can borrow the donkey from the slope to directly block his spellcasting ability in front of everyone.
—Anyway, he really doesn't have the ability to cast spells.
In this way, even if someone still suspects that they are the murderer, they will tend to wait for the "most dangerous person" to be killed before moving on to the idea of the person who "can be subdued and killed at any time".
After all, in their eyes, Gerald was already a sheep in their own sheepfold. If he is really a murderer, then he, who is forbidden to kill and unable to cast spells, is completely unable to resist other people, and cannot escape at all.
Can kill at any time, don't be in a hurry.
This will save yourself from dying on "first night".
Yes, Annan roughly realized.
Regardless of who the murderer is and whether he wants to kill the murderer, Annan needs to drag the ceremony into a situation where "only four people remain".
Then his general way to clear the level is to mix in the crowd and secretly help the murderer. That is, the "hidden wolf" in werewolf killing.
But if you want to pass the level perfectly...
Annan needed to backstab the real murderer when there were only five people left.
Because of the need to avoid conflicts.
So Annan could only use the curse on his hammer to kill him on a regular basis without his knowledge.
In this case, Annan's positioning is the "internal traitor" in the Three Kingdoms Killing.
no matter which...
Annan needs to make his "teammate" aware of his existence first.
