Annan did not immediately return to Roseburg to find Bishop Darryl.
After all, when Annan was about to finish, Don Juan's second brother, Mr. Eugene Geraint, hadn't set off to return to Noah.
Through Lin Yiyi's vision, Annan can see Eugene's attitude towards "Don Juan" who is not in the fief for the time being.
Because Eugene didn't hide himself at all, Annan could easily see that Eugene obviously knew that the lord here was not the real "Don Juan Geraint". He never tried to find out "where is the real Don Juan"...but he was still polite to Lin Yiyi and the others, and he was not guilty at all.
After Eugene came to Roseburg, even if he didn't see Annan, he was not in a hurry.
He didn't urge Lin Yiyi to ask where Annan had gone; but he didn't return to Noah disappointed either. Instead, he lived in Roseburg for three days in a very stable manner, left a letter and went back leisurely.
—So Annan immediately realized what Eugene was here for.
Eugene had not come to see his brother "Don Juan Geraint" at all.
He obviously knew where the real Don Juan was.
Fortunately, Annan was not in Roseburg at this time.
Otherwise, it will add embarrassment to both parties.
Eugene came here in person, probably to deliver some wrong information to mislead someone in the capital.
He can stay in Roseburg for three days, which shows that this visit is very friendly; and if he returns safely to the capital and declares that he has seen Don Juan, then others will believe that Don Juan has really arrived in the North Sea safely collar.
Annan can also see one thing from Eugene's behavior...
Benjamin may have put Don Juan's soul in place.
The old crow was the one who directly handled this matter, and he already knew the truth.
Well, if Ferdinand hadn't been imprisoned... he might have been used as a tool by the old crow.
The crow family only obeys the king.
Whoever the king is, he serves only the one on the throne.
Therefore, before His Majesty the King speaks, the old crow will never attack Prince Philip directly.
He will only use intrigue and trickery to disrupt Philip's plans.
Just think about it... Don Juan is the favorite son of the old crow. Ferdinand Geraint believed in rotten men and murdered his own brother. Such behavior would never be easily forgiven by the old crow.
The old crow thought of a way to throw Don Juan to the border, just in case.
If there is really a big problem in the Crow's family, at least Don Juan can escape to the Duchy of Winter and survive by relying on Don Juan's mother's noble blood of Winter.
But because of Ferdinand's betrayal, almost all efforts were in vain. And as a believer of the rotting man, he might have to attack the old crow himself, and his other younger brother...
It wouldn't be surprising even if the old crow killed him directly—he couldn't do it to Philip, but at least he could do it to his own son, right
However, Annan has never heard such information as "Ferdinand's accidental death".
And now, Eugene obviously knew the truth.
And considering, Klaus Kass is still alive and well.
Annan has gradually figured out the context of this matter in his mind. He even vaguely saw the political situation in King Noah's capital.
— This is a typical, three-tiered lie.
The first layer is the packaged information known to most people, "public information".
That is to say, "Klaus safely sent Don Juan Geraint to Freezing Water Port, and after the unfortunate sudden death of Viscount Rose Fort, he officially completed the power transfer ceremony in Rose Fort. The great wizard Benjamin still stayed in Freezing Water Port to take care of him. Don Juan" matter.
And the second layer is "Actually, Don Juan has been assassinated by Klaus, and the great wizard Benjamin is dead. Now in Freezing Water Harbor is an unidentified black-haired man pretending to be Don Juan." blue-eyed people".
The third level is "I don't know why, neither Don Juan nor Benjamin died. And Benjamin also completed the advanced ceremony and became the Pope of the New God".
But all three layers are lies.
Few people reach the third level... such as Prince Philip. He's probably the closest to the truth, but he has no proof.
Klaus himself was on the second floor, and he thought the old crow was on the first floor.
— but actually the old crow is on the fifth floor.
He was the only one who, apart from the client, Benjamin, knew everything completely.
Eugene is at least on the third floor. As the eldest son of the old crow, Ferdinand is the only one in the crow's family who still stays on the first floor.
In this way, Annan can determine what the purpose of the old crow is:
He would send Eugene to "take a look," and it seemed to Ferdinand that his father was suspicious of the fact that "Don Juan was still alive."
But after Eugene returned to the capital, he said that he really saw Don Juan.
Then Ferdinand would think that Don Juan was really alive.
He had to pass this information on to his master Philip.
As a result, the three information that Philip obtained from his three sources of information—Klaus, Ferdinand, and the relationship with Viscount Roseburg—are completely contradictory.
Philip would think that Klaus's mission failed before, obviously because he was more willing to trust another person who provided him with information than Klaus.
However, Philip did not punish Klaus, which shows that he is not very sure that the second information must be true... although it is indeed the closest to the truth.
From this, it can be seen that Philip was very suspicious. And he is not tyrannical, and acts very cautiously.
But now, Ferdinand, who first defected to him, gave him a completely different third answer.
After that, Delicious Wind Goose will give Klaus evidence.
All three kinds of intelligence are completely credible, but the content is completely opposite.
Thus Philip must have been thrown into utter confusion.
Philip will not take any action until he finds out the truth of the matter.
In other words...
The layout of the old crow is to buy time.
If Annan's guess is correct, the Silver Jue Church has already informed the old crow.
And the old crow will agree to the plan proposed by the Silver Jue Church, there can only be one answer.
"...Has His Majesty the King, or the eldest princess been persuaded?"
Holding up the envelope that Eugene left for himself, Annan murmured in a low voice.
If there is support from the upper echelon, all this should be calmed down soon.
... But why am I a little uneasy
What the hell is missing...
Annan thought about it and opened the envelope.
He glanced roughly, and found that his previous speculation was completely correct. And Eugene also paid another piece of information:
"... Hermetic school?"
Annan murmured.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
—He remembered what he had overlooked before.
