The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 273: Ferdinand Geraint

After stuffing the man into a wooden barrel containing fish, Annan began to search for his belongings.

He only had a dagger, a lockpick and two silver coins in his pocket - at first glance, he was not a serious person.

In addition, there is a piece of letter paper that has been folded twice on the inside of his clothes.

There are two commands written on the front and back of the page:

[At ten o'clock in the morning, I carried the lead stone to the kitchen and was led into the kitchen basement by a "tall" fat man with "black hair and red eyes". Give the lead stone to the person inside and leave the basement at three o'clock in the afternoon. Standing at the kitchen door "with arms folded" and "impatiently", preventing any target from entering the kitchen basement. 】

[Someone will take your place from 4 to 4:30 p.m. He comes "alone," characterized by "black hair and dark eyes," and you don't recognize him. If no one enters the basement during this time, you leave directly; if someone enters the basement, tell them not to go in and leave directly, and you leave after twenty minutes. 】

The funds on the note were scrawled, and there were signs of being folded and opened repeatedly. Several words are marked with double horizontal lines as reminders.

If nothing else, this should be the so-called "feature".

Fortunately, there is no need to pull off his clothes...

Annan immediately stood where the red-haired man had been. He crossed his arms and looked impatiently at the pedestrians coming and going at the door.

Not even two minutes passed before Annan saw a man rushing over.

Just as the note said, he came alone with black hair and eyes... But there was something different in that he seemed vaguely familiar to Annan. But I couldn't tell why it was so familiar.

The man saw Annan standing at the door of the kitchen impatiently, and quickly walked over.

Annan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so late? Your Highness Kafni passed by here just now... Fortunately, she didn't go in. What else would we do?"

He modified his words slightly and dug himself out.

The man just chuckled: "As long as a stranger like you is standing here, Your Highness Kafni will not go in.

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

As the man spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his arms and checked the time: "It's almost five o'clock... You should leave quickly and leave through the back door. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave in a while."

"I understand."

Annan nodded calmly and passed the man.

His pupils shrank slightly.

——Because at this moment, Annan had already figured out the man’s identity!

Annan recognized that pocket watch.

It was a silver pocket watch with intricate decorations. The outer shell of the pocket watch was engraved with a pattern of a three-eyed bird with feathers as sharp as daggers.

It is a silver pocket watch of the same style as Don Juan.

This is the emblem of the Geraint family!

This young man is probably in his early twenties.

...I'm afraid, this man is Don Juan's eldest brother!

After he passed by him, Annan stopped silently and turned back immediately - stretching out his left hand and exploring the young man's mouth like lightning.

But at this time, the young man seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

He bent down, rolled forward quickly, and at the same time took out an exquisite silver lady's pistol from the clothes on his upper body, turned around and pointed it at Annan.

"Don't move, friend. Just stand there."

The young man from the Geraint family asked quietly in a low voice: "Tell me, why did you attack me?"

——He didn’t want to make any noise.

Annan immediately understood his subtext.

This shows that these people may not have bribed as many guards as Annan thought...

Faced with the young man's accusation, Annan slightly lowered his left hand to expose the silver ring between his fingers, and raked it away with a vigilant expression: "Because you are from the Geraint family.

"And this is inconsistent with the requirements I received."

Seeing Annan's deliberately exposed silver ring, the young man's pupils shrank slightly.

He was silent for a while, pointed the muzzle of the gun slightly downward, and tried to soften his tone: "This is impossible - what is your mission description?"

"The mission requirements say, I don't know you...but obviously not."

Annan said slowly: "Because you are the eldest son of the Geraint family - I recognize you. Then you are not the person I want to wait for."

He wanted to try to see if he could get some information out of him.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be successful...

The young man frowned slightly, but did not deny: "I think there is a misunderstanding, friend. I am indeed Ferdinand Geraint, but I have never met you. Like you, I am a believer in rotten... …Otherwise I should be shouting for the guards right now.

"Can you show me your list? As a sign of sincerity, I'll show you mine too."

To show his sincerity, Ferdinand put the pistol back into his waist.

Then he took out the "task list" from his arms.

Anan showed some hesitation on his face, and slowly took out a list that had been folded many times from his arms, and the two exchanged it in tacit understanding.

There are also two commands written above:

[I went to the kitchen at four o'clock in the afternoon and met a man standing at the door "with his arms crossed" and "impatiently". If the other party tells you that no one has entered the basement, then enter the kitchen basement; otherwise, stop the conversation immediately and return to ensure safety. 】

[Hide the linked lead stone on yourself and participate in the banquet. And sit in the southeast corner of Table No. 3, and destroy the lead stone as soon as possible after the explosion. 】

...explosion?

Annan was slightly startled.

Of course he knows what a guiding stone is - it is a commonly used component in some large-scale rituals and functions like a remote control.

The purpose is to allow the host of the ceremony to initiate some rituals that are more dangerous when initiated from a safe location far away.

In other words, Fu Fu wants to... cause a huge explosion?

Annan suddenly felt excited:

He seemed to realize something.

At first, Don Juan seemed to have offended someone and was sent to the border... But in fact, this was Don Juan's father's protection of him. Because the Geraint family encountered persecution at the political level.

At first, Annan thought the Geraint family was innocent.

The reason why it was persecuted was because the Geraint family supported the eldest princess... so it was suppressed and persecuted by the third prince.

But based on Annan's knowledge of the eldest princess just now...she is not the kind of weak and withdrawn character, and she cannot possibly let the third prince Philip attack her own forces and remain silent.

Unless...

She herself was doubting the loyalty of the Geraint family. That's why they remained silent when the Geraint family was ostracized.

If the Geraint family encounters suspicion, what is the most likely reason? If the Geraint family is really disloyal, will all they encounter is just ostracism?

Annan did not understand the reasons behind this.

But Annan may already know it now.

If we say that Annan was given a protective assignment and then assassinated by the third prince's men on the road; the loyalty of the Geraint family was doubted by the eldest princess, and even the accidental deaths of other royal family members in recent years... Was it designed?

Before, Annan always wondered whether this was part of a larger conspiracy and a larger game.

Now it seems that everything is very simple...

Ferdinand said it himself just now.

——He is a follower of Fufu.

So, what do followers of Fufu desire most? Where has Fu Fu ever failed? How do followers of Rofu please their gods?

Annan raised his head and looked at Ferdinand.

The answer is now self-evident.

Ferdinand was the Third Prince's man from the very beginning. He has been trying to plan to kill his other brothers and sisters... in order to obtain his own immortality.

He is trying to arrange to kill other royal heirs~IndoMTL.com~ in order to obtain eternal life for the third prince.

The eternal master and servant... This seems to be Fufu's biggest regret.

Yeah. Looking back now, the status of the Crow Family in Noah's eyes is roughly equivalent to that of the Hand of Winter.

If there are frequent "accidental deaths" with "no evidence", but no results can be found from the investigation...

The eldest princess’s intuitive suspicion is indeed correct.

Ferdinand Geraint is exactly a traitor!

It is not the Geraint family who is the traitor... but just one of them!

But now is also an opportunity...

"Look, it's mentioned above..."

Ferdinand frowned after reading Annan's task list, then raised his head and looked at Annan and tried to explain.

But at that time, he suddenly noticed that Annan's pupils had turned dim gray at some point.

As soon as he felt alert, an extremely strong and irresistible sense of fatigue poured into his spirit. He, who was not an extraordinary person, lost his resistance almost instantly.

While Ferdinand was half asleep, he saw the middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes walking forward and giving him a dangerous smile.

"I have some questions to ask you later."

Annan replied in a low voice: "Before that, please sleep with the salted fishes first..."

Then he raised his extremely heavy real marble fist and punched Ferdinand in the temple!

Ferdinand's vision suddenly went dark and he passed out.
