Chapter 12 The Book of the Sky Train
To be cautious, Annan still used up all the public experience he had accumulated to 76 points.
These experiences were just enough for his swordsman profession to be upgraded to another level, and at the same time, the level of the wizard apprentice was pulled to LV7.
After all, as "Don Juan", with Annan's own age and size, it is difficult for him to keep his sword with him 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 improve his normal combat power too much.
It's just that the panel damage is high, but it is basically useless in actual combat.
On the contrary, it is the profession of wizard apprentice...
Annan decided not only to improve as soon as possible, but even better to progress smoothly in a short period of time.
After all, although Don Juan was young and murdered, he was not only a student of Benjamin, he was even a Bronze wizard himself.
I don't know how many people know about this.
But before Annan is suspected, he must reach the Bronze Rank.
So his attribute and occupation panel became like this:
annan, human, male
Rare Elite (Gold), CR 8
name: none
Rank: none
Health: 100%
Erosion: 4%
Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 8, Constitution 7, Wisdom 18, Will 13
Public Experience: 0
Personal Trait: Heart of Winter [Reversed Inscription]
Job List——
Swordsman LV5: [Guardian Swordsmanship LV5], [Disarm LV1], [Frost Swordsmanship LV2]
Wizard Apprentice LV7: [Instant Spell LV2 (Cold Contact, currently unavailable)], [Guided Spell LV1 (currently unavailable)]
Completely different from the "swordsman" profession.
The profession of "Sorcerer's Apprentice" can be roughly guessed from the name, and it may only be the pre-professional profession of "Wizard".
It's not just that the upgrade doesn't give spells. And the level has been raised to level seven, and only two levels of skills have been increased in total.
...Or rather, two spell slots.
But he now has empty slots, no spells... which is embarrassing.
However, Annan's list of attributes has changed considerably:
His previous perception was 11, his strength was 7, and his constitution was 6. This means that every occupation of his wizard apprenticeship has provided him with a little sense of stability.
The two levels of the swordsman's professional promotion added a little attribute to his strength and physique respectively.
The increase in perception made Annan's brain very awake, the cluttered thoughts disappeared, and his thinking became more accurate.
As if the computer rubbish had been cleaned up, he could feel his thinking speed up.
But whether it is the increase in perception or physical fitness, Annan does not have an intuitive feeling. Only the increase in the strength attribute allows him to have an accurate measure:
He tentatively swung John's gauntlet twice before. At that time, he could still feel an obvious sense of hysteresis.
Too strong inertia has the feeling of throwing oneself out, 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 you use it to play a set of guard swordsmanship, the movement will not be deformed because the force cannot control the inertia.
...However, why the two attributes of perception and willpower were so high when the predecessor was only a third-level swordsman?
Annan has no clue about this issue, and can only attribute it to his own arrogance.
Annan just made a rough calculation.
According to the improvement effect of the strength attribute, to be able to use this broken sword as smoothly and freely as John's body requires at least ten points of strength.
And if it is the original long sword, it should probably require 12 points of strength to use.
Not the same as a wizard apprentice. The profession of swordsman seems to have an average bonus. This means that when Annan can use this broken sword smoothly, he should basically reach the level of Swordsman LV10.
By the time he reaches that level, his wizarding apprenticeship might have entered the ranks.
- This broken sword is completely useless.
Annan came to a clear conclusion in his mind.
For self-defense, he has a better option:
"That sword..."
Annan muttered.
He still remembered that Young Master Don Juan had a rather delicate, sharp and sturdy dagger.
When he used the body of "John" before, the sword was as short as a slightly longer dagger... But considering Annan's height, it was just right for him to use it as a one-handed sword.
"I just don't know if it's still there."
Annan sighed with regret.
He did not go directly to the deck, but went to the captain's room.
In his impression, if Benjamin and Don Juan were to die, then they should die here—
as predicted.
The great wizard Benjamin, who didn't take a half step back and easily killed the captain of the guard without even using a spell, had already lost his life and was lying on the table. His mouth was overflowing with blood, his teeth and plates were stained red, and his eyes were pitch black.
It's almost like a nightmare replayed.
The only difference is that the silver ring on Benjamin's right hand is gone. His robes and jewelry were also removed, just like an ordinary old man.
Beside Benjamin, Don Juan, who was also full of blood, was lying on his back, and the old butler, who was pierced by a long sword behind his back, was lying dead on the ground.
The bronze ring in Don Juan's hand also disappeared, but there was a silver ring with a luxurious shape and a sapphire inlaid. The ring of the ring had sharp feather-shaped nicks, a relic left to him by Don Juan Geraint's mother.
But Annan clearly knew that this was not Don Juan's ring at all.
Unlike Benjamin, Don Juan's clothes have not been touched.
……why is that?
Annan frowned slightly and searched Tang Huang's body.
After a search, it was discovered that there was indeed something more on Don Juan's body.
For example, the silver pocket watch that was broken in the nightmare but still walks normally. The case of the pocket watch is engraved with the pattern of the three-eyed raven, which can be recognized at a glance as the coat of arms of the Geraint family.
Don Juan's long dagger is still hanging on the wall of the captain's room - but Annan clearly remembers that there should be a chart hanging here.
The most unusual thing is that some letters that were originally in Don Juan's room were stuffed on Don Juan's body. Annan searched a little, and it fell directly to the ground.
It was like waiting for Annan to find out.
Annan clearly understood that on the day Don Juan died, a banquet was going to be held on the ship. There was no need for Don Juan to carry so many heavy and troublesome things with him.
Taking a step back, he could have given them all to John as well.
...Unless someone wanted to make the person who found the body realize that this young man was Don Juan Geraint.
After all, this dress does not look ordinary. And once someone checked what was on him, they would get information about Don Juan's identity.
After all, Don Juan's name is written on the letters, and the Geraint family emblem is on the pocket watch and ring.
Is he trying to have Don Juan's body recovered?
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 way should be to destroy the corpses and destroy the traces. A fire connected the boat and the corpse to burn up, and all the evidence was buried in the sea.
……Wait a moment?
Annan was startled.
He suddenly recalled one thing:
At the end of the week, Don Juan mentioned to him that there was a treasure sewn in the interlayer of his clothes.
Although Klaus is a man of the third prince on the surface, from the perspective of the last two-stage transformation, it seems that he has someone else behind him.
At least judging from Benjamin's reaction, he shouldn't have expected Krause to have this move at all.
In addition, the third prince wanted Don Juan's seal. While Klaus was searching for "paper-like things" in Don Juan's room during the week's purpose, he was looking for a seal "by the way".
That is to say...
This guy Klaus, he may not be an ordinary two or five.
He may be a two-fifth boy with a double identity.
He not only betrayed Don Juan openly...he betrayed the third prince secretly!
Klaus deliberately left his hands and feet to let the people of the Geraint family recover Don Juan's body, which should be to get the "secret treasure" hidden on him!
Because he didn't know how to take out the secret treasure, he planned to quietly spread the news of Don Juan's death and have the Geraint family come to recover the body. It will be at least a few months before Don Juan's body is found, news spreads, and people from the Geraint family know about it, confirm it, and then rush over.
If Annan guessed correctly, at that time, Klaus was probably already in the capital.
He will definitely find an excuse - such as making trouble for the Geraint family or eliminating hands and feet, take a leave of absence from the third prince, and quietly follow behind. The purpose is to see where the secret treasure is.
... 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.
Just as Annan came into contact with Tang Huang's inner clothes, a curtain of light suddenly flashed in front of him:
[Discovering the Fragments of the Truth]
[Condition 1: Currently there is no residual page of conflict truth]
[Condition 2: Hold a rare elite (purple) and above template]
【Truth Appears—】
The next moment, a strong white light shone out.
A splendid white light rose into the sky - and then 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 gradually dissipating.
What appeared in front of Annan's eyes was a very soft, paper-like white page with a jade-like touch. It has dark golden text like living things flowing on it, something similar to those released in Benjamin's ring, but it looks extremely sacred.
Just looking at it, Annan can feel a strong sense of intimacy.
And a light curtain appeared on it:
[The Book of the Sky Train, title page]
