... It's a story about the change of kingship.
When An Nanguang heard this, he felt a little stomachache.
The old king is old, and the new king has not yet ascended the throne. This almost means that the kingdom is bound to be in chaos during this time.
Plus three days later, the closed beta began. Players will come... This unknown kingdom is probably going to be completely messed up.
... Speaking of which, Annan still doesn't know what the name of this kingdom is.
But it's okay.
As long as His Majesty the King didn't want Don Juan's life from the bottom of his heart, he would always be able to do so.
Coincidentally, taking advantage of this opportunity, you can also ask what political stance "Don Juan" should hold. Save time to accidentally reveal stuffing...
"Of course I agree to join the gang... Speaking of which, which side does the Earl stand on?"
"Naturally, it's His Majesty's side. That's the Eldest Princess' side."
The chief guard heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought that no one in this world would dare to make fun of a prince and the future king, so he relaxed, and his attitude became a lot closer: "Your Majesty was able to ascend the throne back then, thanks to the Geraint family... But you also know, Mr. Crow will not support His Royal Highness the Third Prince's ascension to the throne."
Annan nodded solemnly.
No, actually I don't know.
He thought for a while, and asked tentatively in John's tone: "But I still don't understand...why they didn't go for the Earl, but for the Young Master? If something happens to the Young Master, the Earl will go crazy, How can we escape?"
"My lord will not know about this."
The captain of the guard was still a little impatient about this matter: "This ship will be faked as a shipwreck, the sails will be burned by us, and it will remain floating in the sea, and it will not land until a long time later. By then, we will have already run away."
But Annan asked a few more questions, and Mr. Klaus, the head of the guard, with the attitude of "I can't beat him anyway", reluctantly replied: "What the third prince wants is only the signet ring of the Geraint family. "
— Forged letters!
Annan reacted immediately.
The purpose of Klaus and the others is to keep "Don Juan" alive and take away the signet ring! In this way, they can forge a letter from someone in the Geraint family... Whether it is sent to the earl or used as false evidence, it will have a corresponding effect.
Annan suddenly felt his stomach hurt even more.
Why did I get involved in such troublesome things as soon as I landed
Moreover, since their purpose is to take the ring, then when they exit the nightmare, they may not find the ring at all on the ship...
Suddenly, Annan was taken aback.
wrong.
Klaus lied—
During the previous week, Annan saw Klaus directing his betrayers to search Don Juan's room.
He clearly remembered that they were looking for "a piece of paper". And this piece of paper was sewn by Don Juan into the interlayer of clothes under his left armpit. Rings and seals, just "find it by the way".
Annan's heart trembled.
What if Klaus is using a slightly unimportant thing to cover up another more important thing
Then it shows that the value of this piece of paper is even more important than a prince's plan to seize power!
But Annan did not startle the snake.
He just pretended to be concerned, and continued to ask, "What about Lord Benjamin? How should we deal with him?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just follow my command."
Klaus was overwhelmed by Annan's acting skills, he was slightly relieved, and replied briskly: "The young master is on the side with us, without him, we would not dare to do such a thing. The business of silence. The young master has top-secret information about the Geraint family... including Benjamin's weakness.
"It's just right, let's go up together. If you are here, it will also make the young master more relaxed..."
"One last request."
Annan hesitated for a moment, and asked at the risk of being exposed: "I want the complete ritual procedure of Tongue in the Mirror."
"Yes, but I also need to know who your master is."
Klaus agreed without hesitation: "The wooden-headed John I know is not so smart. You pretended to be a fool for so long just to get around Don Juan, right
"Who sent you here?"
"Of course it's the Duke."
"... Duke? Um... Which Duke?"
Hearing the word duke, the muscles on Klaus's face twitched.
He hesitated for a moment, but still asked. But his voice was much softer, and his tone was not so aggressive: "Is it convenient to say?"
"A duke with black hair and blue eyes...you get the idea."
Annan replied vaguely.
He wanted to grab the wool of the fool Klaus again, and ask some news about the Duke of Winter from his mouth.
But hearing Annan's answer, Klaus's pupils shrank slightly. He fell silent, and cleared his throat in embarrassment, not daring to continue asking.
"This ritual of mine is knowledge from the Orthodox Church, so don't spread it to outsiders. I didn't get it from formal channels."
Klaus just warned: "This is the dungeon knowledge I traded with others before... It is produced by the Orthodox Church. It does little damage to oneself and the effect is very stable. It is not like those rituals of false gods that are prone to problems. In your heart Better understand that if this knowledge gets out, you and I will suffer."
"The Orthodox Church?"
Annan made a proper question.
Sure enough, Klaus couldn't bear it anymore, and explained: "It's not the church of the 'Silver Sir'. Although our Noah Kingdom does welcome the priests of the Silver Sir...but if you have no money, those misers will not teach You any magic or ritual."
Annan immediately made a disappointed expression.
At the same time, he took a deep breath from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time remembered the somewhat strange god name "Silver Sir".
His grandma's, you know the name of this country...
Klaus clicked his tongue before replying: "This is the ceremony of the 'Ms. Mystery'... I don't know how much the Grand Duke has told you, so I will start from the beginning. Remember it carefully, and I will only say it once—it's yours to say too much The spirit must not be able to bear it."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly changed, becoming low and hoarse. It's like a tape recorder is turned on in the throat, and the voice that belongs to others is released:
"The materials of this ceremony are 'the soul of the person who knew the crime in advance but kept silent about it', 'the blood of a male adult who has never killed anyone', 'the tongue of a bull who voluntarily took poison',' Shoes that have never been soiled', 'a mirror no bigger than your own head', plus a scoop of sea water that has been out of the sea for no more than a day.
"The ceremony is very simple. The specific content is to engrave or embroider any one of the secret scripts belonging to the mysterious lady on the cow's tongue as a 'lock', and engrave or embroider its symmetrical body on your own tongue as a 'key' '.
"Then mix the blood with the sea water, put the ox tongue on the mirror, with the secret side facing up. Release the soul of the sinner, put on the ritual shoes, and walk clockwise and counterclockwise on the bloody ground as many times as you like. , but remember the number of laps. This is the 'opening of the door' and the ceremony is complete.
"Afterwards, you can't leave your ceremony field too far. The specific length limit is 2,600 steps of your own. If you exceed this distance, you will bear the consequences.
"When you cancel the ceremony, wear that shoe again, use the number of laps you set, and walk backwards once, just like 'closing the door'. But before February 1st, you must cancel the ceremony, regardless of this How long the ritual lasted; and likewise, don't use it until February is over, or at your own peril—"
Having said that, Klaus's strange "retelling" state is also over.
He cleared his throat, turned his eyes to Annan, and at the same time moved his right hand towards the hilt of the sword without a trace: "It's that simple. Um... can you bear it?"
"… fine."
Annan put on a reluctant look, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly.
Klaus nodded seemingly concerned, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his right hand returned to the previous position: "It seems that you knew a lot about this ceremony before... Then you are still counting, and you didn't ask for it. Forbidden knowledge that your own spirit cannot bear."
Annan didn't speak, but continued to nod his head vigorously, showing a bit of hard work.
But Annan was very at a loss in his heart.
Annan probably knew what the other party was up to.
In Klaus' view, if he shared this knowledge, "John" might roll all over the floor and lose his ability to resist. He must have been upset.
But it was different from what Klaus thought.
Annan didn't feel anything special at all.
There is no pain, no itching, no dizziness, at most it feels like I have exercised too much just now, and it is close to meal time, so I am a little hungry...
That's why he can only act in such a general way.
In terms of Annan's acting skills, this is almost a shame.
But the problem is that Annan doesn't know what he should act at all.
What can he do, he is also very desperate.
He didn't even know whether he should have a nausea or a headache at this time, whether he was vomiting or a chest pain... He could only make an expression of holding back his shit.
Anyway, no matter what the uncomfortable state is, this expression is always universal.
Seeing that Annan "quickly digested the taboo knowledge", Klaus gritted his teeth and continued casually: "Also, remember to arrange good guards before the ceremony. Otherwise, if someone replaces the cow If you don’t use your tongue, you will be deprived of control over the ceremony just like me. This unpopular ceremony itself has very low demand, and Bronze-rank extraordinary people can use it. Because it comes from the Orthodox Church, there are no random random effects... "
When he said this, the corner of his mouth rose ironically: "However, under normal circumstances, this ritual can only be used by the benefactor who can engrave inscriptions on the soul. And it is necessary to 'reverse the inscription'. But the only one who has mastered The church with the reversed inscription belongs to the god of veto and darkness, 'Lady of Silence', not 'Lady of Mystery'.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Third Prince for finding a special spell object mirror for me, I was able to drive this ceremony. This is made by the Church of the Mysterious Lady, and it is specially used to replace the spell object mirror that reverses the inscription to start this ceremony. And because it is not To start it normally, I still need to compensate a large number of souls to barely maintain the ceremony... When the corpse rots, the ceremony will end automatically, which is completely uncontrollable."
Speaking of this, Klaus smiled smugly: "So it's not very useful for you to learn this. Because you still have to find a way to get such a mirror."
... This is probably the reason why he just agreed so readily.
Annan smacked his lips when he heard the words, sighed again, and followed Klaus without saying a word.
This made Klaus feel much happier.
But Klaus couldn't see it, and Annan looked at him with pity.
This unlucky boy...
When I got this ritual, I was afraid that I was greedy and desperate. I don't know how long it took to get a "curse object" mirror that could barely be used as a substitute. It's like a silly kid who finally bought a huge 3A masterpiece, and then found that his computer couldn't handle it at all.
However, we are different.
Annan remembered the "reverse inscription".
He seems, probably, might...
There really is one.
