The Righteous Player(s): crotch strip MK-2

Klaus thought he was monitoring Annan and controlling this currently uncontrollable factor under his nose.

And Annan was monitoring Klaus.

The reason why the two of them can coexist peacefully now is not because Annan has become so powerful that Klaus does not want to be his enemy, nor does it mean that Klaus has any good intentions towards him.

Simply because Klaus mistakenly thought that Annan had stolen his ritual "Mirror Tongue" and obtained a temporary ability that could reflect damage.

He did not dare to be an enemy of Annan in this state.

Although he also knew how to break this ritual, at least for now, he did not dare to enter that room in front of Annan.

After all, destroying rituals also takes time. When Annan first saw him, his first reaction was to tell him to retreat... Once Annan was too nervous and saw him trying to open the door, it was possible to just stab him with a sword.

And Klaus didn’t dare to fight back, otherwise if Annan closed his mouth and opened his arms, he would chop him down without reservation.

Annan can kill him, but he cannot kill Annan.

That's not very fair.

So Klaus thought about it and decided to forget it.

The most valuable thing about people is their sincerity.

At least when Annan stared at him, he had given up all thoughts of entering and ruining the ceremony.

But once the two of them are separated, Klaus will definitely go to the room where the ceremony is located and try to sabotage the ceremony - Klaus believes that Annan himself must know this.

In fact, as soon as Klaus opened the door to that room, he would immediately understand that he had been tricked.

Annan did not steal the ritual at all, nor did he get the temporary ability to reflect attacks.

Before, he was just showing off and bluffing.

It's as if the hero on the weaker lane suddenly uses a displacement skill without warning and starts to exchange blood wildly. Klaus's first reaction is not to backhand and do it, but "Is the opposite jungler coming?"

So he made a prompt decision - without even retaliating, he turned around and handed Flash over to him and ran away without hesitation.

Of course this cannot be kept secret for long.

But regardless of whether Annan stole the ritual or destroyed it, Klaus would not want to act separately from him. It was precisely because Klaus knew Annan's needs and that Annan was a smart man that he directly suggested "How about we go up together" without even the slightest test.

This is a goodwill signal sent by the guard chief to Annan.

After all, his first mission was not to kill "Guard John", but to kill the old wizard Benjamin and Don Juan.

John shouldn't have been his enemy in the first place - of course, if it was convenient to block the way, it wouldn't matter if he killed him.

Anyway, except for the talents that the third prince likes, everyone on this ship will not survive. It's nothing more than whether to die first or last.

But even if it was performed by the guard chief, it was indeed a good intention. At least he fully expressed to Annan that "I have no intention of becoming your enemy for the time being."

And Annan did see it.

He saw even more.

——It seems that in Klaus's view, Annan's only way to survive is to achieve great success in the next operation, so as to gain the favor of the third prince and become a thug of the same level as him.

In this case, Klaus will naturally turn the "goodwill" he played before into reality.

Otherwise, if Klaus could kill Annan with just one word, he would naturally take revenge on the man who pierced his tongue through the curse and made him endure the severe pain like a dagger piercing his tongue.

...These subtle thoughts of the guard captain also fell exactly in Annan's eyes.

The corners of Annan's mouth raised slightly: "Humph..."

"What shall we do soon?"

Stop in front of the stairs to the deck, Annan asked softly: "You will never say, let me act based on your eyes, right?"

"Of course not," Klaus, who was walking in front, shook his head, turned around and explained carefully, "I have already arranged everything that should be arranged - not for you, no one knows the details of the plan .This is to prevent leaks.

"The dinner should have started now. All you have to do is go to Don Juan's place, chat with him, and distract him. Or you can just find an excuse and take him away directly. …After all, Don Juan also knows the old wizard’s secret, and he may sense something is wrong.”

Klaus carefully ordered: "Don't look at that old wizard, you know? The young master doesn't know which school he comes from, whether he can 'seize souls', 'order' or ' The magic of the Prophet's school. But he is so old, and his age must not have been in vain...

"To be on the safe side, don't look him in the eye, and it's best not to have any communication with him. But your expression should be natural - if you really can't do it, don't go up."

You can mess around, but don’t hold back.

But whether you are messing around or dragging your feet...you will bear the consequences.

Klaus had almost slapped the maliciousness of these words on Annan's face.

But there was no anger or resentment on Annan's face.

He just showed a simple and honest smile: "No problem, I am very good at acting."

Hearing this, the guard captain recalled what "John" looked like before and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

There is indeed nothing wrong with "John's" acting skills.

The people who were played by him still don’t realize that they were played...

Klaus, the captain of the guard, gave a few more instructions and took Annan onto the deck.

As he went upstairs, his expression gradually became serious, and he tried his best to suppress the tension and excitement.

On Annan's face, there was a trace of invisible panic in addition to his honesty. A small amount of sweat immediately appeared on his face, his lips gradually became pale, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

At least in terms of their appearance, Annan's acting skills have completely surpassed that of the guard captain.

The banquet has already begun, and even the guards on the deck are huddled in the corner, chatting quietly and eating a dinner that is quite sumptuous, at least for a ship.

The old wizard who was having dinner, drinking and chatting with Don Juan in the captain's cabin frowned slightly when he saw the two men approaching from a distance.

His eyes swept across Annan, and then stopped on Klaus.

The old wizard's eyes gradually turned to confusion, and then gradually to suspicion.

"That, g..."

"Master!"

The moment the old wizard spoke, Annan suddenly spoke first, interrupting the old wizard's words: "You asked me to come to you——"

"What's wrong, John?"

Little Don Juan immediately asked nervously: "What happened?"

The agreement he had made with Annan before was that "if something happens, he would come to him immediately."

Don Juan naturally trusted "John" not to leave his post without authorization, so when he saw "John" leaving his room and appearing in front of him, his heart suddenly thumped.

"I, I..."

Annan was a little anxious and looked pale. There were big drops of sweat on his face, as if he was in a panic and didn't know what to do——

"Don't tell me, tell me if you have anything to say!"

Klaus's iconic rude voice sounded: "What you just said to me, tell the young master again!"

But Klaus would never guess it. ~IndoMTL.com~ The moment he said these words, Don Juan's brows suddenly frowned slightly, vaguely realizing something.

Because what Don Juan and John had agreed before was that if there was a problem, they would come directly to him and not talk to anyone——

Just after Klaus finished speaking, a well-dressed old gentleman came over and placed a barrel of wine in his hand on the table of the old wizard and little Don Juan.

Judging from his clothes, he is Don Juan's butler.

The old butler skillfully opened the lid of the wine barrel and inserted the wine container into it.

However,

That's when.

Annan suddenly raised his head, ran behind Benjamin, and shouted to Don Juan:

"Knock over the barrel!

"He is going to kill Lord Benjamin!"

Don Juan, who had already had a premonition of something bad, immediately understood everything when he heard Annan's words.

He immediately reached out and overturned the wine barrel on the table to the ground.

The bright red wine spilled on the floor like blood. The expression on the old housekeeper's face suddenly changed drastically, and he staggered and fell to the ground!

The mind of the guard captain Klaus is already blank:

How did John know my plan?

No, he actually knows what Benjamin’s curse is?

No, no, no, that’s not right either...

Klaus couldn't understand at all why John, a smart man, would choose the stupidest, least beneficial, and offended the most people, a path that would definitely lead to death no matter what——

Why does he dare to do this?

——What is he trying to do? !
