Chapter 273 Ferdinand Geraint

After stuffing the man into a wooden barrel with fish, Annan began to snatch his belongings.

He only had a dagger, a lock pick, and two silver coins in his pocket—not a serious man at first sight.

In addition to this, there is a piece of letter paper folded twice on the inside of his clothes.

There are two commands written on the front and back pages:

[Take the lead stone to the kitchen at 10:00 a.m., led by a "tall", "black-haired and red-eyed" fat man, into the kitchen basement. Give the lead stone to the person inside and leave the basement at 3pm. "Hands-on-chest" and "impatient" standing at the kitchen door, preventing any target from entering the kitchen basement. 】

【There will be someone to replace you from 4:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. He came "alone" with "black hair and black eyes" and you didn't know him. If no one enters the basement during this time, you will leave directly; if someone enters the basement, let him not go in and leave directly, and you will leave after twenty minutes. 】

The funds on the note were scribbled, showing signs of being folded and opened repeatedly. Below a few words, a double horizontal line is marked as a reminder.

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

Fortunately, there is no need to remove his clothes...

Annan immediately stood in the position where the red-haired man stood before. He crossed his chest with his arms and looked impatiently at the pedestrians coming and going at the door.

Within two minutes, Annan saw a man hurried over.

As written on the note, with black hair and black eyes, he came alone... But the difference is that he vaguely made Annan feel a little familiar. But I can't tell why it's so familiar.

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

Annan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Why are you late for so long? Her Royal Highness Kaphne passed by just now... Fortunately, she didn't go in, otherwise what should I do?"

He revised his words slightly, and dug himself out.

The man just chuckled: "As long as a stranger like you is standing here, His Highness Kaphne will not enter.

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

The man said, took out a pocket watch from his arms, and looked at the time: "It's almost five o'clock... Hurry up, go through the back door. If you don't go, you won't be able to leave in a while."

"I understand."

Annan nodded calmly and passed the man.

His pupils contracted slightly.

——Because at this moment, Annan has seen through the identity of the man!

Annan recognized the pocket watch.

It was an intricately decorated silver pocket watch with three-eyed birds with dagger-sharp feathers engraved on the case.

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

This is the coat of arms of the Geraint family!

The age of this young man is about his early twenties.

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

After passing him by himself, Annan stopped silently, and turned back for the first time—stretching his left hand, reaching towards the youth's mouth like lightning.

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

He bent down and rolled forward in a fast circle. At the same time, he took out a delicate silver lady's pistol from the clothes on his upper body and turned around to point at Annan.

"Stay still, friend. Just stand there."

The young man of the Geraint family asked in a calm and low voice, "Tell me, why did you attack me?"

- He didn't want to make a sound.

Annan immediately understood his subtext.

This shows that the guards these people bought may not have as many guards as Annan imagined...

In the face of the young man's accusation, Annan pressed his left hand down slightly, revealing the silver ring between his fingers, and slapped him vigilantly: "Because you are from the Geraint family.

"And that's not in line with what I've been asked to do."

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

He was silent for a while, pointed the muzzle slightly downwards, and tried his best 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 know you. Then you are not the one I am waiting for."

He wanted to try and see if he could cheat out some news.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a success...

The young man frowned slightly, but did not deny it: "I think there is a misunderstanding in this, my friend. I am indeed Ferdinand Geraint, but I have never met you. I, like you, are a believer of Roof... otherwise I would It's time to shout out the guards now.

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

As a sign of sincerity, Ferdinand put the pistol back on his waist.

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

Annan showed a hesitant look on his face, and slowly took out a list that had been folded many times from his arms, and the two exchanged it tacitly.

There are also two commands written above:

[Go to the kitchen at four o'clock in the afternoon and connect with a man standing at the door "with arms folded" and "impatiently". If the other party tells no one to enter 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 attend the banquet. And sit in the southeast corner of table 3, and destroy the lead stone as soon as possible after the explosion. 】

……explode?

Annan was slightly startled.

Of course he knew what a lead stone was—a common component used in some large ceremonies, and functioned like a remote control.

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

That is, the rotman wants to... cause a huge explosion?

Annan suddenly felt himself jolted:

He seemed to realize something.

At the very beginning, Don Juan seemed to have provoked someone and was sent to the border... But in fact, this was Don Juan's father's protection for him. Because the Geraint family encountered persecution on a political level.

At first, Annan thought the Geraint family was innocent.

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

But according to what Annan had just learned about the eldest princess... She is not the kind of weak and withdrawn temperament, she could not allow the third prince Philip to attack her own forces and remain silent.

unless……

She herself was doubting the loyalty of the Geraint family. That's why they kept silent when the Geraint family encountered exclusion.

If the Geraint family encounters suspicion, what is the most likely reason? If the Geraint family was really disloyal, would they just be ostracized?

The former Annan did not understand the reason behind this.

But Annan may already know by now.

If it is said that Annan was issued protectively and then assassinated by the people of the third prince on the road; the loyalty of the Geraint family encountered the suspicion of the eldest princess, and even the accidental deaths of other members of the royal family in the past few years... are all designed Okay?

Annan always wondered if this was part of a bigger conspiracy, a bigger game.

And now, it all seems so simple...

Ferdinand said it himself just now.

- He is a rotten believer.

So, what do the followers of the rotman desire most? Where has the rot ever failed? How do followers of rotman please their gods?

Annan raised his head and looked at Ferdinand.

The answer is now self-evident.

Ferdinand was the man of the Third Prince from the very beginning. He has been trying to plan to kill his other siblings... in order to get his own immortality.

He is trying to arrange to kill other royal heirs, so as to obtain immortality for the third prince.

Eternal master and servant... This seems to be the biggest regret of the rotten.

yes. Looking back now, the position of the crow's family in Noah is roughly equivalent to the hand of winter.

If there are frequent "undocumented" "accidental deaths", but the investigation has always yielded no results...

The eldest princess' intuitive suspicion was indeed correct.

Ferdinand Geraint is a traitor!

It's just that the betrayer is not the Geraint family... but just one of them!

But now is also an opportunity...

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

Ferdinand frowned after reading Annan's to-do list, then raised his head to look at Annan and tried to explain.

But at that time, he suddenly noticed that Annan's pupils had turned into a dull gray for some time.

As soon as he felt vigilant, an incomparably strong and irresistible feeling of tiredness poured into his spirit. He is not an extraordinary person, and he lost his resistance almost instantly.

When Ferdinand was half asleep, he saw the middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes come forward and gave himself a dangerous smile.

"I'll ask you some questions later."

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

Immediately, he threw a very heavy real marble fist, which was a punch to Ferdinand's temple!

Ferdinand's eyes suddenly darkened, and he passed out.
