The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 89: Am I really a gentle person?
"I'm not saying that, Don Juan," Salvatore couldn't help complaining, "Isn't it too quiet here?"
He just walked all the way from the gate, but he didn't find anyone alive.
Not to mention Annan and the players, not even the servants and housekeepers were seen.
What’s even more outrageous is that the whole manor was completely dark, not even the lights were turned on...
It was pitch black from the entrance of the manor to the inside of the house. Only the restaurant was lit.
Yes, there is light only in the room where Annan and the body are.
He walked all the way in fear in the dark, then pushed open the restaurant - and immediately found a pale and calm boy like a doll sitting under the dim light and a fresh corpse that had just died.
And Annan still looked at him without saying a word, with a strange smile on his lips.
The ice blue pupils made Salvatore's heart instantly feel cold.
At that time, he felt that he was almost frightened and the erosion was deepening...
"At least you turned on the light? Are you trying to save fuel for His Excellency the Viscount? The price of green fire is not expensive, right?"
Salvatore couldn't help but complain.
Under his insistence, Annan reluctantly turned on all the lights in the manor...
"I just don't want others to know that there is someone in this manor."
Annan sighed and explained patiently: "I have to stay here and look at the body. This is the most important evidence. But I don't want to just look at the body and let other important things in the manor be destroyed. Gone missing..."
For example, cash, jewelry or tokens.
Of course, Annan did not say this.
On the other hand, Salvatore was full of surprise: "What, did you really not kill him?"
It can be seen from this sentence that although Salvatore did not see through Annan's nesting dolls, he inexplicably gained insight into some of his inner character and habits...
Annan just calmly patted the seat next to him and motioned for Salvatore to sit next to him.
Afterwards, he explained in a low voice: "It was indeed me who killed him, but the problem is...
"He is a believer in Fufu."
Salvatore was suddenly startled when he heard this.
He slowly looked at Viscount Barbour, his eyes gradually becoming enlightened.
"...That's it, I understand."
He immediately asked Annan: "Did you torture Alvin for anything?"
I used to call him Lord Viscount, but now I call him Alvin.
Annan smiled silently and responded: "It seems that you knew something from the beginning. You just didn't know that he was from Fufu."
"That's natural. It's not a secret that the Fufu Church is preparing to invade the kingdom. After all, His Majesty is so old... In other words, when the life of each ruler is approaching, the people of the Fufu Church will not know what to do from now on. He jumped out of nowhere, just like a salesman.
"I just didn't expect that there could be people like them among the nobles..."
Salvatore sighed.
Anan looked at his reaction and had a guess in his mind.
Did the Black Tower already know the plan of the Roofu Church?
So Annan asked: "Then do you know which ceremony they plan to use?"
He started with Wang Zha.
——The result was that the silly roe deer was really blown up.
"You are talking about the ritual of 'killing multiple sons', I know that too."
Salvatore replied readily: "This seemingly abnormal succession war happened too suddenly. From the beginning, we suspected that this might be part of some kind of ritual or a precursor, and maybe Among the rituals, the most likely one is the life-extending ritual of 'killing multiple sons'.
"It's just that the kingdom's intelligence department has been unable to find even one person related to the Fufu Church, so it's impossible to be sure... But His Majesty is very smart, and I think he should know it himself."
Hearing this, Annan was silent for a moment.
...Salvatore, an honest boy, proved to Annan with practical actions what it means to give for free.
Annan just asked casually, and this honest boy leaked a bunch of information.
He can now easily analyze a lot of important news from Salvatore's words...
Annan sighed: "Yes, I did kill the Viscount. But please don't reveal this information for the time being."
"You don't need to say much, I understand."
Salvatore nodded slowly: "You are indeed a wise and kind man, Don Juan."
?
Wait, what did you understand?
Annan was a little confused.
But there was no emotion on his face at all, he just looked away silently.
Waiting for further explanation from Salvatore.
"After all, he is a viscount, and he is also a vassal of your grandfather. If he is killed by you, the official lord of the North Sea Territory and a direct descendant of the lord, it means that he has a burden that can be sentenced to death. of felony.
"Then his grandson will immediately become a sinner and be executed together. And he...knows nothing and has done nothing wrong. His only crime is that he is the grandson of Alvin Barber. ”
...Speaking of which, he does seem to have a grandson.
But he wasn't burned to death?
Hearing this, Annan asked, "Where is his grandson now?"
"Church schools, I have already investigated them."
Salvatore replied: "He usually lives in a missionary school and only goes home on weekends. And this also illustrates another question... Why was he sent to a missionary school?"
Annan nodded.
After practicing some common sense for a while, he was able to understand the hidden meaning of Salvatore's words.
This is not to say that church schools are not good... at least safety issues can be guaranteed. The church school is even safer than the mansion of the nobles. After all, no one will try to attack the church of Zhengshen.
However, if children who graduate from church schools perform well, they can join the church directly through internal channels. And skip the preliminary stage of doing chores as a deacon, and start directly as a priest - that is, a formal priest who can use divine magic.
When all outstanding classmates and friends have joined the church and obtained a decent and stable job, it is not common for children to be willing to go out alone to find a job.
So ordinary nobles, in order to prevent their children from joining the church when they grow up. They will not be allowed to enter church schools "to meet friends who do not match their identity." Instead, we will hire some excellent tutors for one-on-one tutoring.
But Viscount Barbour was different.
He was willing to send his grandson to study in a church school... Many people praised him for his devotion to Yinjue.
——But the problem is that Annan knows that Alvin Barber is not a believer of Silver Jue at all.
"The grandson of Viscount Barbour should also be a sacrifice he dedicated to Fufu. The same should be true for his two previous sons, so he can live for such a long time... It is precisely because of this~IndoMTL.com~ He doesn’t need to consider his child’s education or his friends at all…”
Salvatore analyzed.
Old Alvin only needs to consider "safety issues".
In other words, the freshness of the offerings.
Salvatore looked at Annan with some confusion: "No matter who you claim the Viscount was killed by, because I am here, there will be no difference in the handling of other subsequent matters.
"I can help you deliver this important information to the Black Tower, I can also **** your witnesses and physical evidence, and I can also provide proof for you... And according to the law of the kingdom, you don't need to kill the guilty nobles and priests. Take any responsibility.
"The only difference is that the grandson of Viscount Barbour, the real innocent person in this incident, is alive or dead. If you claim that the Viscount was killed by you, then whether he intended to murder the royal heir, Whether it is the major crime of putting a black hand on the throne or the 'small crime' of actually trying to murder you, a lord and lord, his grandson will be sentenced to death together...
"But if you claim that old Alvin was murdered, then not only will his grandson not be convicted, but he will be the only surviving heir and be lucky enough to get Roseburg. The irony is that he was originally just a Animals, living as sacrifices, are just tools."
Salvatore sighed and murmured in a low voice: "You must be complaining about him.
"My feeling is right, you are indeed a gentle person..."
...Wait a minute?
Annan was a little stunned when he heard his analysis.
Your analysis seems to make some sense?
Do I really think so?
——Pause, what did I think at first?
