After more than ten minutes, Annan slowly put down the blade in his hand.
His Excellency Ken Carter is still very cooperative.
Annan has asked all the questions he should and can ask.
Directly related to this nightmare, about how the "Ritual: The Great Hunting Banquet" should be destroyed, who participated in the ceremony, the time and exact location, the connection code, and so on.
Coupled with some issues that have little to do with this nightmare—for example, some private secrets about the royal heirs and high-level officials of the kingdom...even about the Noah people’s views on the Rinwinter people, their understanding and cognition of the Rinwinter family, Annan I've asked everything I could ask.
Of course, whether the information itself is correct... whether Ken is telling the truth, whether there are still some inaccuracies in what he knows, these are not guaranteed.
But in fact, Annan does not need so many "truths".
All he needs is "understanding", a direction that allows him to investigate. Since it is understood, there will naturally be the possibility of misremembering and forgetting.
This will make it easier for him to reveal his secrets when playing Don Juan or Annan... As for the deeper things, Annan will check them one by one by himself.
"It's useless to crush the guiding stone..."
Annan frowned slightly.
The ritual itself has been structured.
Even if there is no "leading stone" positioning, the ceremony will still start - the difference is that in this way the ceremony will not be limited to the "dinner banquet". Instead, it spreads out...
For example, the location of Ferdinand is the southeast corner of the hexagram. The point on the lower left of the equilateral triangle.
And if this guide stone is broken... Then when this ritual is launched, the corner in the southeast direction will be relocated as the kitchen basement.
In other words, everyone from the banquet hall to the kitchen will be locked by the ceremony...
There is no doubt that destroying the guide stone will not "save more people" at all. It may even ruin the lives of more people-the guide stone is not used to "start the ceremony", but to prevent this dangerous ceremony from hurting oneself.
... Of course, it's just that the roots can't be eradicated.
If the goal is only to "reduce casualties", it is still possible. After those people realized that the guide stone was destroyed and they were locked in their own rituals, they would only try to hold a few more rounds of rituals.
If the "person who speaks the lines" comes to their own people...they can only choose to "end the curtain" and end this ceremony. Even to be on the safe side, they might shut it down right away.
Annan knew in his heart that this should be the easiest way to clear the level.
It is also the most preferred way of customs clearance for ordinary people.
Annan reset his own cognition - if people follow the deciphering ideas of ordinary people, they can easily enter the garden at the beginning of the game, and then see Cafney. And immediately realized that Cafney was the key npc.
So far, it's basically the same.
But other people who entered the nightmare need to find a way to gain Kafni's trust first. Then let her lead the way to find the six key points of the ceremony—this is the necessary way to pass the level.
But if something goes wrong in gaining Cafney's trust and delays time...then Redhead and Ferdinand will complete the handover. Ferdinand will also get the guide stone at the first time and leave.
And if they couldn't get rid of Merlin when they came to the kitchen, then under Merlin's surveillance and protection, they wouldn't be able to directly attack the redhead.
In both cases, the attacker can at most get intel that "Ferdinand" is a suspicious person—that is, observe him leave from here, or observe them complete the joint.
By the time Ferdinand finished the joint, there was still more than half an hour before dinner. In this short period of time, the only way to detect the key is to observe Ferdinand's actions in the banquet hall for analysis...and find opportunities to steal or destroy the guide stone.
Then look for an opportunity to destroy the leading stone in the north - this position is where the king is, and the original ceremony will definitely not include Henry VIII.
Because this conspiracy was obviously presided over by the third prince Philip. His purpose is to reduce the number and strength of his brothers and sisters... Maybe he also has the purpose of pleasing the rotten husband by making up for the two brothers of the Lin Dong family. But he can't really kill King Noah.
The reason is also very simple.
The current first in line heir is not Philip, but Elizabeth. Under Elizabeth, there is the second prince who is still alive. If the two of them didn't die first, then King Noah's sudden death without leaving a will would not be his turn to inherit the throne anyway.
So at that time, they can only forcibly close the curtain.
This may be the original trajectory of history.
It directly led to the tragic death of several heirs one after another, the high-level officials of the Noah Kingdom were gradually infiltrated by the power of the rotting man, and many nobles and officials who participated in this banquet also died due to accidents...
But the raiders who go through this process... Unless they know the ritual themselves, it is impossible to know why they can pass the level like this. Therefore, the solution density is bound to be low.
If Annan wants to complete the deciphering and get rewards, he must solve the root cause as much as possible and perfect the strategy...
Annan currently thinks of three ways.
The first one is to transfer the four people he wants to protect to a certain corner of the hexagram. Then quietly destroy the other five corners... without alarming the host of the ceremony, after making them realize that something is wrong, they can only stop the ceremony immediately anyway, not even by chance.
And there's no way this ritual can kill anyone anymore. Because although it was said to be random, the "tragedy writer" personally named the people who were going to die... In order to ensure drama, he might be the first to call the king to death. But Annan suspects that the density of decryption may not be too high... because this is a way to pass the level that may be "concealed".
This is probably the reason why Elizabeth was kept alive-as long as Elizabeth is not included in the ceremony and the king is included in the ceremony, they can only be lifted immediately. This is the lightest rite of passage.
The second is to directly destroy the ceremony itself, which must be the most perfect method. The ceremony has been completed, and the "tragedy writer" is summoned and watched from the spectator stand... As long as there is an explosion and the "opening" condition is triggered, the ceremony will officially begin to operate.
In this case, the forced termination of the ritual is bound to directly conflict with the "tragedy writer". The "tragedy writer" became furious, and might even descend on several messengers directly to kill those who disrupted the ceremony. This must be the most difficult way to clear the customs - in this case, you have to ensure that your identity is not revealed, at least Annan has no confidence.
Annan could only choose the third way.
Think about it first...
The owner of this nightmare...whose could it be
