The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 182: Plot of fake death

"...Is this my nightmare?"

After a brief silence, Don Juan Geraint spoke softly.

After he saw "John" using Sir Silver's magic, he roughly understood it.

"That's natural."

It was not Annan who answered, but Benjamin Foster.

He patted Don Juan's head and chuckled: "Didn't you expect it a long time ago, Don Juan?"

"...No, I'm just a little worried."

Don Juan Geraint shook his head.

His eyes did not reflect the loss of knowing that he was dead.

But he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.

This attitude... is a bit strange.

On the other side, Benjamin smiled slightly at Annan: "Long time no see, 'Ghirlandaio'."

"But I am not that Ghirlandaio."

Annan declared in advance.

Benjamin shook his head: "Of course I know. I also know exactly what 'Ghirlandaio' is.

"Just when I saw your face... I knew where you got your password and what you were going to ask me. A person who can be recognized by Master Michelangelo is of good quality. Sexuality and ability are naturally guaranteed."

"...let me guess."

Annan replied softly: "Have you guessed that the third prince would want to kill you?"

Benjamin smiled slightly when he heard this.

He did not answer directly, but instead asked Annan: "How many times have you come to this nightmare?"

"Counting the number of failures, this is the third time."

Annan replied quickly.

Benjamin chuckled.

On the huge wooden fist, three chairs with backrests and armrests slowly grew.

He stretched out his hand to signal Annan and Don Juan to sit down.

"Since you can get Master Michelangelo's approval and meet him... I speculate that what you entered should be Gerald's nightmare."

Benjamin asked slowly: "In other words, Gerald is dead...right?"

"Yes."

Annan answered honestly: "In addition, I also saw Don Juan being killed. You were killed by Klaus with a counter-curse."

Hearing this, Benjamin grinned and smiled silently.

Don Juan on the side also looked at Benjamin blankly.

Don Juan looked at Annan curiously and asked: "What kind of counter-curse...you mean, the teacher's curse?"

"...What happened?"

When Annan saw Don Juan's reaction, he was moved and asked: "It's your old butler - he fed Benjamin poisonous wine mixed with squid juice. Is there something wrong here?"

"That's the problem."

Benjamin smiled.

He knocked on the armrest and asked Annan, "You should know about my curse, right?"

"Yes. 'You cannot eat squid' and 'You cannot refuse wine given by someone older than you'."

"——So, how many curses did I break when I drank the poisoned wine?"

Benjamin asked.

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

He suddenly realized something——

He had been thinking about the issue of "poisoned wine".

But the real problem is...

If Benjamin drank 'poisonous wine mixed with squid juice', and the poisonous wine itself was enough to kill him, there would be no need to mix squid juice.

And if the poisonous wine is not powerful enough to kill him, then drinking the poisonous wine means that he did not refuse the poisonous wine. In other words, it did not violate the subsequent curse.

——In other words.

The two curses held by Benjamin are actually mutually exclusive.

No matter what, he can only satisfy one thing...

There is only one possibility that Klaus will use this as his trump card.

"——The information obtained by the third prince is false news?"

Annan blinked and responded: "He thought your curse was, 'You can't drink the wine given by the old man' and 'You can't eat squid'?"

Don Juan looked at Benjamin blankly.

Benjamin nodded calmly: "It's 'cannot drink the wine given by the old man' and 'cannot eat roasted green plums'.

"It's okay, my reaction speed is okay, and my memory is okay. It's just that my brain can't move."

Benjamin commented harshly: "I'll ask you again - you should have seen my body, right?"

"...Yes."

Annan nodded.

He recalled the scene when he came out of the copy:

At that time, Benjamin was lying on the table, with blood overflowing from his mouth, staining his teeth and plate red, and his eyes were dark. Next to him lay Don Juan, whose mouth was also full of blood, and the old housekeeper whose back was penetrated by a long sword and who was still staring at death.

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.

...just like an ordinary old man?

Annan's pupils shrank.

——Until then, he finally understood everything.

Benjamin is an extraordinary person!

Bronze level extraordinary people will not show any obvious changes after death.

But it’s different for the Silver-level transcendent...

Just like Gerald at that time. When he died, his whole body turned into a skeleton and then disintegrated into pieces.

How could Benjamin’s body be so normal?

It’s just that he’s missing his carrier and robe, just like an ordinary old man...

But the problem is, Benjamin is not an ordinary old man at all!

"...That's a fake corpse."

Annan replied quickly.

Benjamin nodded in approval: "Yes. Just like the body you are using now... This is the basic spell of the Idol School, called 'Puppet Clay Body'.

"My original plan was to take poisonous wine and feign death, then use 'I'm not here' to block my own existence. Then use the shaping spell to make things like me grow on my seat like now. Make an identical substitute, and then use the 'puppet and clay body' to create my substitute.

"So if you look closely at my body, you should be able to find that it weighs much more than an old man."

Benjamin’s words habitually brought with him a touch of the mentor’s temperament, commenting:

"There is no way to hide the emotions of those people. That Klaus is just a country boy who made a mistake in advancing and was unable to achieve gold in his life. He has no idea how great the wizard is... The emotions in the hearts of those people he brought Fear and restlessness are clearly visible in my eyes."

...There was nothing I could do, I was not a transcendent at that time.

Annan shook his head and remained silent.

——Benjamin is indeed able to use the soul-stealing spell.

Annan still remembers what Salvatore told him.

Benjamin can use the four series of spells, 'Soul Seizing', 'Transformation', 'Shaping', and 'Idol', but only Transformation and Shaping are close to the gold level.

... In other words, the spells of the two schools of Soul Seizing and Idol should be at least at the level of the bottom of the Silver Rank.

The answer to one question made Annan have more questions in his mind.

"So, what happened to Klaus in the end?"

Annan asked.

The corners of Benjamin's mouth raised slightly: "Are you asking me about the future?"

He didn't say anything, but he replied: "I should let him go...because we don't want to alert the enemy."

"...Teacher, am I really dead?"

Don Juan Geraint asked impatiently.

Benjamin looked at him, his eyes flat and calm: "Then it depends on you...how you define 'death'.

"This is something your father asked me to do. He doesn't want you to enter the frozen water port, because there is a real **** there. The gods will know who the fragments of truth are at a glance. But your majesty has a destiny ...You must die here. Only the Frozen Water Port is completely out of reach of the rotten but still in the Kingdom of Noah - so you are only allowed to die here.

"Your Majesty would rather give the fragment of truth that you are about to give birth to to the Bone Man than give it to the rotten husband.

"The Three-Eyed Raven will never betray the crown, so you have no choice.

“Because you are the one who incubates the truth. ~IndoMTL.com~ Only when you die can the fragments of truth be revealed.

"If you stay in the capital, you will die suddenly one day, allowing Fufu to become a real god...

"So your father and I's plan is to let you die here directly. Throw out the hot potato of the Fragment of Truth. Then think of a way to steal your soul and resurrect it. After all, you are a transcendent... ...Although it is only bronze, there is at least a slight possibility of resurrection.

"I didn't tell you this in advance because your acting skills were not realistic enough. Only real death can win Klaus's trust."

Benjamin said calmly: "So, 'Don Juan Geraint' must die, but you may still survive. I brought a lantern to imprison the soul this time, maybe I can rescue you." Find you a baby body with Geraint's direct bloodline... and you may be resurrected.

"But from now on, you are no longer Don Juan Geraint. You must never regard him as you. You will no longer have anything to do with this name - remember this.

"Don't covet the fame of your previous life."
