Chapter 9 What Are You Looking for, Brother

Klaus thought he was monitoring Annan, keeping this currently uncontrollable factor under his nose.

And Annan is watching Klaus.

The two of them can coexist peacefully now, not because Annan has become so powerful that Klaus does not want to be an enemy, nor is it because Klaus has any kindness towards him.

Just because Klaus mistakenly thought that Annan had stolen his ritual "Tongue in the Mirror" 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 crack this ceremony, at least now, he did not dare to enter that room in front of Annan.

After all, it takes time to destroy rituals. When Annan first saw him, his first reaction was to let him back... Once Annan's nerves were too nervous, it was possible to stab him directly when he saw that he wanted to open the door.

And Klaus didn't dare to fight back, otherwise Annan would shut his mouth and open his arms, and he would have slashed himself without reservation.

Annan can cut him, he can't cut Annan.

This is not very fair.

So Klaus thought about it and let it go.

People are precious.

At least while Annan was staring at him, he had given up all thoughts of entering the door to disrupt the ritual.

But once the two of them were separated, Klaus would definitely go to the room where the ceremony was held and try to disrupt the ceremony—a matter that Klaus believed Annan himself must have known.

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

Annan didn't steal the ritual at all, and he didn't get the temporary ability to reflect attacks.

Before, it was just that he was forcibly pretending to be bluffing.

It's like a hero in a disadvantaged lane suddenly posted a displacement skill without warning and began to frantically exchange blood. Klaus's first reaction was not to do it with a backhand, but "Is the opposite jungler coming"?

So he made a decisive decision - he didn't even pay back, he turned his head and handed it to Flash without hesitation and ran away.

Naturally, this could not be hidden for long.

But whether Annan stole the ritual or destroyed it, Klaus would not have wanted to act separately from him. It was precisely because he knew Annan's need and knew that Annan was a smart person, Klaus didn't even do the slightest temptation, and directly put forward the suggestion of "let's go up together".

This was a goodwill signal from the chief of the guard to Annan.

After all, his first task was not to kill "Guardian John", but to kill the old wizards Benjamin and Don Juan.

John shouldn't have been his enemy in the first place - of course, if it's convenient to get in the way, it doesn't matter if he kills it.

Anyway, except for the talents that the third prince fancy, everyone on this ship will not survive. It is nothing more than to die first or to die later.

But even if it was performed by the Captain of the Guard, it was indeed kindness. At least fully expressed to Annan that "I have no intention to be your enemy for the time being".

And Annan did see it.

He saw even more.

——It seems that in Claus's view, Annan's only way to survive is to obtain great credit in the next action, so as to gain the favor of the third prince and to become a fighter of the same level as him.

In this way, Klaus will naturally transform the "goodwill" he played earlier into reality.

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

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

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

"What shall we do for a while?"

stopped before the stairs to the deck,

Annan asked softly: "You never say, let me act according to your eyes?"

"Of course not," Klaus, who was walking in front, shook his head and turned his head to explain carefully, "I have already made arrangements for what should be arranged—not for you, and no one knows the details of the plan. This is To prevent leaks.

"The dinner party should have started by now. All you have to do is stay at Don Juan's place, chat with him, distract him. Or you can make any excuse and just take him away... After all Don Juan also knew the old wizard's secret, and he might have sensed something was wrong."

Klaus carefully instructed: "Don't look at that old wizard, you know? The eldest young master doesn't know which school he is from, whether he is from the 'Soul Reaper', 'Edict' or 'Prophet' school. The spell. But he is so old, this age is definitely not white...

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

You can mix, but don't hold back.

But whether you mess up or drag your feet...you do it at your own risk.

Klaus has almost poked the maliciousness of these words in 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'm very good at acting."

Hearing this, the captain of the guard recalled what "John" looked like before, and nodded in agreement.

There's really nothing wrong with "John"'s acting.

The person who was played by him still doesn't realize that he was played...

The captain of the guard, Klaus, gave a few more orders and took Annan to the deck.

When he went upstairs, his face gradually became serious, trying his best to suppress the nervousness and excitement.

On Annan's face, there was an invisible panic in addition to being simple and honest. A small amount of sweat immediately oozes out of his face, his lips gradually turned pale, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

At least in terms of the appearance of the two, Annan's acting skills have already surpassed the captain of the guard.

The banquet has already begun, and even the guards on the deck are huddled in the corners, chatting in low voices, eating a rather hearty dinner at least on board.

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

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

The old wizard's eyes gradually turned to doubt, then to doubt.

"That, K..."

"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 the matter, John?"

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

What he had agreed with Annan before was, "If something goes wrong, come to him immediately."

Don Juan naturally believed that "John" would not leave his post without authorization, so when he saw "John" leave his room and appear in front of him, he suddenly snorted.

"me……"

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

"Don't me, I'm mine, say something!"

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

But Klaus could never guess.

The moment he said these words, Tang Huang's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, and he vaguely realized something.

Because what Don Juan and John had agreed before was that if something went wrong, he would come to himself directly and not talk to anyone—

Just after Klaus's voice fell, a well-dressed old gentleman came over and put the barrel of wine in his hand on the table of the old wizard and little Don Juan.

Judging from his clothes, he was Don Juan's housekeeper.

The old butler skillfully opened the lid of the wine barrel and put the wine dispenser into it.

However,

at this time.

Annan suddenly raised his head, and while running wildly behind Benjamin, he shouted to Don Juan:

"Break down the barrels!

"He's going to kill Lord Benjamin!"

Don Juan, who had a premonition that something was wrong, heard Annan's words and immediately understood everything.

He immediately stretched out his hand and overturned the wine barrel on the table to the ground.

The bright red wine was poured on the floor like blood, and the expression on the old butler's face changed dramatically, and he stumbled and fell to the ground!

And the mind of the captain of the guard Klaus is already blank:

How did this guy John know about my plan?

No, he actually knew what Benjamin's curse was?

No no no, not right...

Klaus couldn't understand why John, a smart man, would choose the stupidest, most unprofitable, most offended person, and he would definitely die no matter what—

Why would he dare to do this?

- What is he drawing? !
