To be cautious, Annan first used up all the public experience he had accumulated to 76 points.
These experiences were just enough for his swordsman profession to be upgraded to another level, and at the same time, the level of the wizard apprentice was raised to LV7.
After all, with his identity as "Don Juan", and Annan's own age and size, it was difficult for him to carry a sword he could use with him for a long time. Not to mention, frost swordsmanship is a life-saving trump card that must not be leaked...
In this case, no matter how high his swordsman level is, it will not increase his normal combat power too much.
It's just that the panel has high damage, but it is basically unusable in actual combat.
On the contrary, it is the profession of wizard apprentice...
Annan decided not only to improve as soon as possible, but even better to be able to advance smoothly in a short period of time.
After all, although Don Juan was young and murdered, he was not only a student of Benjamin, but even a Bronze-rank wizard himself.
I don't know how many people know about this.
But before Annan was suspected, he had to reach the Bronze Steps.
So his attribute and occupation panel becomes like this:
annan, human, male
Rare Elite (Gold), CR 8
Title: None
rank: none
Health: 100%
Corrosion: 4%
Attributes: strength 8, agility 8, constitution 7, perception 18, will 13
Public experience: 0

Employment List—
Swordsman LV5: [Guard Sword Technique LV5], [Disarm LV1], [Frost Sword Technique LV2]
Wizard Apprentice LV7: [Instant Spell LV2 (Cold Contact, no yet)], [Guided Spell LV1 (No yet)]
It is completely different from the "swordsman" profession.
The profession of "Wizard Apprentice" can be roughly guessed from the name, it may be just a pre-profession of "Wizard".
It's not just that the upgrade doesn't give spells. And the level has been raised to level seven, and only two levels of skills have been added in total.
... Or, two empty slots for spells.
But now he has an empty slot and no spells... which is embarrassing.
However, Annan's attribute list has changed considerably:
His previous perception was 11 points, strength was 7 points, and constitution was 6 points. This means that each of his careers as a wizard apprentice provides him with a little perception of stability.
The two levels of swordsman professional promotion added a little attribute to his strength and physique respectively.
The increase in perception made Annan's brain very clear, the messy thoughts disappeared, and his thinking became more accurate.
It was as if the computer garbage had been cleaned up, and he could feel that his thinking speed had sped up.
But whether it was the increase in perception or physical fitness, Annan did not have an intuitive feeling. Only the increase in the strength attribute allows him to have an accurate measurement standard:
He tried to swing John's gauntlet twice before. At that time, he could still feel the obvious lag.
Excessive inertia has the feeling of throwing oneself away, and the sword moves are completely deformed and cannot be used normally at all.
But now he can barely use this broken sword. Although it is still very strenuous, at least when holding it to perform a set of guard swordsmanship, the movements will not be deformed due to the inability to control the inertia.
... However, why are the two attributes of perception and will so high when the predecessor only has a third-level swordsman
Annan had no idea about this issue, so he could only attribute it to his own awesomeness.
Annan just made a rough calculation.
Judging from the improvement effect of the strength attribute, to be able to use this broken sword as smoothly and freely as John's body requires at least ten points of strength. And if it is the original long sword, maybe it should need 12 points of strength to use it.
Not the same as the wizard's apprentice. The profession of swordsman seems to be an average bonus point. This means that when Annan can use the broken sword smoothly, he should basically reach the level of a swordsman LV10.
By the time he reaches that level, his wizard apprenticeship might be advanced.
— This broken sword is completely useless.
Annan came to a clear conclusion in his mind.
If he wants to defend himself, he has a better choice:
"That sword..."
Annan murmured.
He still remembered that Young Master Don Juan had a rather exquisitely shaped, sharp and strong dagger.
When he used the body of "John" before, the sword was as short as a slightly longer dagger... But considering Annan's height, it was just right for him to use as a one-handed sword.
"I just don't know if it's still there."
Annan sighed with some regret.
He didn't go directly to the deck, but went to the captain's cabin.
In his impression, if Benjamin and Don Juan are going to die, then they should die here—
as expected.
The great wizard Benjamin, who easily killed the captain of the guard without taking a half step back, even without using spells, had already lost his life and lay prone on the table. The mouth was full of blood, the teeth and plates were red, and the eyes were black.
Almost like a reenactment of a nightmare.
The only difference is that the silver ring on Benjamin's right hand is gone. His robe and jewelry were also removed, just like an ordinary old man.
Beside Benjamin, there were Don Juan, whose mouth was also full of blood, and the old butler, whose back was pierced by a long sword, and lay dead on the ground.
The bronze ring in Don Juan's hand also disappeared, but there was an extravagant silver ring inlaid with sapphires. There was a sharp feather-shaped notch on the ring of the ring, which was the relic left by Don Juan Geraint's mother for him.
But Annan knew clearly that this was not Don Juan's ring at all.
Unlike Benjamin, the clothes on Don Juan have not been touched.
… why is that
Annan frowned slightly, and searched the things on Don Juan.
After a search, it was discovered that there was indeed something extra on Don Juan's body.
For example, the silver pocket watch that was broken in the nightmare but is still running normally today. The three-eyed raven is engraved on the pocket watch case, which can be recognized at a glance as the coat of arms of the Geraint family.
Don Juan's long dagger was still hanging on the wall of the captain's cabin—but Annan clearly remembered that there should be a chart hanging here.
The most unusual thing is that some letters that were originally placed in Don Juan's room were stuffed on Don Juan's body. Annan searched for a while, and it fell directly to the ground.
It was like waiting for Annan to find out.
Annan clearly understood that on the day Don Juan died, a banquet was going to be held on board. There was no need for Don Juan to carry so many heavy and troublesome things with him.
Taking a step back, he can also give them all to John.
…Unless, someone wanted to make the person who found the body realize that the boy was Don Juan Geraint.
After all, this dress does not look like an ordinary person. And once someone checks his things, they will get Don Juan's identity information.
After all, Don Juan's name was written on the letter, and the Geraint family emblem was on the pocket watch and ring.
Did he want someone to recover Don Juan's body
But didn't the third prince want to hide the news of Don Juan's death? If this is the case, the most convenient and thorough way should be to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces. A fire burned the boat and the body together, and all the evidence was buried in the sea.
… Wait a moment
Annan was taken aback.
He suddenly recalled one thing:
During the first week, Don Juan mentioned to him that there was a treasure sewn in the middle of his clothes.
Although Klaus is the third prince on the surface, judging from the last two-stage transformation, he seems to be instructed by someone else behind him.
At least judging from Benjamin's reaction, he probably didn't expect Klaus to have this trick at all.
In addition, what the third prince wanted was Don Juan's seal. On the other hand, Klaus was searching for "paper-like things" in Don Juan's room during the first week, looking for the seal "by the way".
That is to say...
Klaus this guy, he might not be an ordinary boy.
He may be a twenty-five-year-old with dual identities.
He not only betrayed Don Juan on the surface...but also secretly betrayed the third prince!
Klaus deliberately left hands and feet and let the Geraint family recover Don Juan's body, probably in order to obtain the "secret treasure" hidden in him!
Because he didn't know how to take out the secret treasure, he planned to spread the news of Don Juan's death quietly and let the Geraint family come to recover the body. It will take at least a few months until Don Juan's body is discovered, the news spreads, the Geraint family learns about it, confirms it, and then rushes over.
If Annan guessed correctly, Klaus was probably already in the capital at that time.
He will definitely find an excuse—for example, to make trouble for the Geraint family or get rid of hands and feet, ask for a leave from the third prince, and follow behind quietly. The purpose is to see where the secret treasure is.
... Strange, didn't he search Don Juan's body
Annan frowned slightly, but decided to take off Don Juan's clothes first.
He was still wondering where the thing would be hidden.
The moment Annan touched Don Juan's inner clothes, a light curtain suddenly flashed in front of his eyes:
[Finding the Fragment of Truth]
[Condition 1: No conflicting truth fragments are currently held]
[Condition 2: Possess a rare elite (purple) template or above]
[Truth Appears—]
The next moment, a strong white light shone out.
Splendid white light shot up into the sky—then it was completely blocked by the captain's cabin, and only some scattered white light escaped from the windows and the door.
The white light lasted for half a minute before gradually dissipating.
What floated in front of Annan's eyes was a very soft white page that was like paper and had a jade-like touch. There are dark golden characters like creatures flowing on it, some of which are similar to those released from Benjamin's ring, but they look extremely sacred.
Just looking at it, Annan can feel a strong sense of intimacy.
And a light curtain appeared on it:
[The Book of Skycart, title page]
