The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 12: Book of Crane

   To be cautious, Annan first used up all the public experience he had accumulated to 76 points.

   These experiences are just enough for his swordsman profession to be upgraded to a level, and at the same time, the wizard apprentice level is pulled to LV7.

   After all, with the identity of "Don Juan", with Annan's own age and size, it is difficult for him to carry the sword he can use for a long time. Not to mention, Frost Swordsmanship is a life-saving trump card that must not be leaked...

   In this case, no matter how high his swordsman level is, he will not increase his normal combat effectiveness too much.

   is just that the panel damage is high, but it is basically not used in actual combat.

   is actually the profession of a wizard apprentice...

  Annan decided not only to improve as soon as possible, but also to progress smoothly in a short time.

   After all, although Don Juan was young and murdered, he was not only a student of Benjamin, but also a bronze wizard himself.

   I don’t know how many people know about this.

   But before Annan is suspected, he must also reach the bronze steps.

   So his attribute and occupation panel became like this:

  Annan, human, male

   Rare Elite (Golden), challenge level 8

   Title: None

   Rank: None

   Health: 100%

   Corrosion degree: 4%

   Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 8, Constitution 7, Wisdom 18, Will 13

   Public experience: 0

  Personal characteristics: Heart of Winter [Reverse Inscription]

   Employment list—

   Swordsman LV5: [Guide Swordsmanship LV5], [Disarm Swordsmanship LV1], [Frost Swordsmanship LV2]

   Wizard Apprentice LV7: [Instant Spell LV2 (Cold Contact, No)], [Guide Spell LV1 (No)]

   is completely different from the "Swordsman" profession.

   The profession of "Witcher Apprentice" can probably be guessed from the name, it may just be the predecessor of "Witcher".

   is not only upgrading but not giving spells. And the level has been upgraded to seven, a total of only two levels of skills increased.

  ...Or, two spell slots.

   But he now has an empty slot and no spells... This is embarrassing.

   However, Annan’s attribute list has changed considerably:

   His previous perception was 11 points, his strength was 7 points, and his physique was 6 points. This means that each of his professions as a wizard apprentice provides him with a sense of stability.

   The two levels of swordsman's professional promotion added a little attribute to his strength and physique respectively.

   The increase in perception made Annan's brain become very clear, the messy thoughts disappeared, and his thinking became more accurate.

   It's like the computer trash has been cleaned up, and he can feel that his thinking speed has accelerated.

   But whether it is the increase in perception or physical fitness, Annan does not have an intuitive feeling. Only the increase in strength attributes allows him to have an accurate measurement standard:

   He tried to swing John's handguard twice before. At that time, he could still feel a noticeable sense of lag.

   Too strong inertia has a feeling of throwing oneself away. The sword moves are completely deformed and cannot be used normally at all.

   And now he can barely use this broken sword. Although it is still very laborious, at least when holding it to do a set of guard swordsmanship, the action will not be deformed due to the inertia of the force being unable to control it.

  ... However, why did the two attributes of perception and will be so high when the predecessor had only a three-level swordsman?

  Annan has no clue on this issue, so he can only attribute it to his own awesomeness.

   Annan just calculated it roughly.

   According to the effect of improving the power attribute, it takes at least ten points of strength to use this broken sword as smoothly and freely as John's body. And if it is the original long sword, perhaps it should require 12 strength to use it.

   is different from the wizard apprentice. The profession of swordsman seems to be an average bonus. This means that when Annan can use this broken sword smoothly, he should basically reach the level of Swordsman LV10.

   When he reaches that level, his apprenticeship as a wizard may be advanced.

  —This broken sword is completely useless.

   Annan came to a clear conclusion in his mind.

   If he wants to defend himself, he has a better choice:

   "That sword..."

   Annan murmured.

   He still remembered that Young Master Don Juan had a very delicate, sharp and strong short sword.

   When he used the body of "John" before, the sword was as short as a longer dagger... But given Annan's height, he was just right to use as a one-handed sword.

   "I just don't know if I'm still there."

  Annan sighed with regret.

   He did not go directly off the deck, but went to the captain's room.

   In his impression, if Benjamin and Don Juan would die, then they should die here—

as predicted.

   The great wizard Benjamin, who didn't take a half step back, or even used a spell to easily kill the captain of the guard, had already lost his life and was lying on the table. His mouth was full of blood, his teeth and plates were stained red, and his eyes were pitch black.

   is almost like a recurrence of a nightmare.

   The only difference is that the silver ring on Benjamin’s right hand is gone. The robes and jewelry on his body were also removed, just like an ordinary old man.

  Beside Benjamin, there was Don Juan, whose mouth was full of blood, and the old housekeeper, who was pierced by a long sword behind his back, lying on the ground.

   The bronze ring in Don Juan's hand disappeared in the same way, but there was a luxurious silver ring inlaid with sapphires. There are sharp feather-shaped cuts on the ring of the ring, which are the relics left by Don Juan Gerante’s mother for him.

   But Annan clearly knew that this did not belong to Don Juan at all.

   Unlike Benjamin, no one has moved the clothes on Don Juan.

…why is that?

  Annan frowned slightly, and searched for the things on Don Juan's body.

   After searching, it was discovered that there was something more on Don Juan's body.

   For example, the silver pocket watch that broke in the nightmare, but is still walking normally. The case of the pocket watch is engraved with a three-eyed crow pattern, which can be recognized at a glance as the emblem of the Gerant family.

   Don Juan’s long dagger still hung on the wall of the captain's room—but Annan clearly remembered that there should be a chart hanging here.

   The most unusual thing is that some letters originally placed in Don Juan's room were stuffed on Don Juan's body. Annan searched it a little bit, and it fell directly to the ground.

   is like waiting for Annan to find out.

  Annan clearly understood that on the day Don Juan died, a banquet was about to be held on the boat. Don Juan didn't need to carry so many heavy and troublesome things with him.

   Take a step back, he can give them all to John.

  ...Unless someone who wants to find the body realizes that this young man is Don Juan Gerant.

   After all, the clothes don’t look like ordinary people. Once someone checks his body, he will get information about Don Juan's identity.

   After all, Don Juan’s name is written on the letter, and the Gerant family emblem is on the pocket watch and ring.

   Is he trying to let people recover Don Juan's body?

   But didn’t the third prince want to hide the news of Don Juan’s death? If this is the case, the most convenient and thorough method should be to destroy the corpses. A fire burned the ship and the corpse together, and all the evidence was buried in the sea.

  ...Wait a minute?

  Annan was taken aback.

   He suddenly recalled something:

   At Weekend, Don Juan mentioned to him that there is a treasure sewn in the middle of his clothes.

   Although Klaus is obviously the third prince, but from the last two-stage transformation, it seems that there is someone behind him who is instructing him.

   At least judging from Benjamin's reaction, he should have never expected Klaus to have this trick.

   Plus, the third prince wanted Don Juan’s seal. While at the end of the week, Klaus was searching for "paper-like things" in Don Juan's room and "by the way" looking for a seal.

  In other words...

  Klaus, this guy, he may not be an ordinary young man.

   He may be a two-fifth boy with a dual identity.

   He not only betrayed Don Juan on the bright side...but also betrayed the third prince in secret!

   Klaus deliberately left his hands and feet and asked the people of the Gerant family to recover Don Juan's body, which should be to get the "secret treasure" hidden from him!

  Because he didn't know how to take out the secret treasure, he planned to secretly spread the news that Don Juan was dead, and let the people of the Gerant family come and retrieve the body. It will be at least a few months before Don Juan's body is discovered, the news spreads, the people of the Gerant family know and confirm, and then rush over.

  If Annan didn't guess wrong, at that time, Klaus was probably already in the capital.

   He will definitely find an excuse—for example, make trouble for the Gerant family or get rid of his hands and feet, ask for a leave from the third prince, and follow behind quietly. The purpose is to see where the secret treasure is. UU Reading www.uukanshu.cOM

  ...Strange, didn't he search Don Juan's body?

  Annan frowned slightly, but decided to take off Don Juan's clothes first.

   He was still thinking about where the thing would be hidden.

   As soon as Annan touched Don Juan’s inner clothes, a light curtain suddenly flashed before his eyes:

  【Discover the broken chapter of truth】

   [Condition 1: No torn pages of conflicting truth are currently held]

   [Condition 2: Hold rare elite (purple) and above templates]

  【The Truth Appears—】

   The next moment, a strong white light shined out.

   Gorgeous white light soared into the sky—then it was completely blocked by the captain's room, and only a little scattered white light escaped from the windows and doors.

   The white light lasted for half a minute before it gradually dissipated.

   What appeared in front of Annan was a very soft white page that looked like paper and had a jade-like touch. On it was flowing dark gold text like creatures, and some things were similar to those released from Benjamin's ring, but they were extremely sacred.

   Just looking at it, Annan can feel a strong sense of intimacy.

   And a light curtain appeared on it:
