The world in front of me is dark, with only data flowing downwards quickly. Annan stared at every word carefully, fearing that he would miss any details.

Just after the loaded characters gradually faded away, a ethereal and illusory whisper suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Betraitors will all die..."

That was the voice of a young man, but it was like the cry of a drowned person, moist and full of resentment.

The next moment, Annan suddenly felt that he was being pushed hard.

"John? John, wake up!"

A rude male voice sounded in front of me: "Why did you fall asleep! Where has the young master gone?"

"Huh? Hmm..."

Annan then realized that he was sitting on the ground, falling asleep leaning against the two barrels behind him.

He opened his eyes and saw a bearded man in his forties squatting in front of him with a stern face.

The man had a straight face and looked angry. But judging from the fact that he didn't directly kick himself up, this man's temper should be pretty good.

"Ah, I'm a little sleepy...I'm so sorry..."

Annan replied vaguely.

After all, he had no idea what this person's name was and what his relationship was to him. I can only respond like this.

But as soon as Annan finished speaking, he paused.

Although the sound in my ears when I speak is quite different from the recording heard from outside. But Annan was still keenly aware that the resentful words he just heard were probably said by "John".

Who is the betrayer?

What is the position of "Annan" on this ship?

Seeing that Annan was a little distracted when he replied, the middle-aged man's voice became louder: "If you are sleepy, go practice sword practice, don't be lazy here!

"I shouldn't have let you stay in the cabin! You have blinded the young master to your importance! How can you take care of young master Don Juan like this? You won't even know if he is captured!"

"I'm so sorry..."

"Don't apologize, say 'yes, instructor'!"

"Yes, instructor!"

Annan followed the good deeds.

He roughly understood the identity relationship between the two.

"Wait, Klaus..."

A young, somewhat nervous voice sounded behind them.

The two looked at each other.

That was a young man who had just come down from the door, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The young nobleman named Don Juan has short black hair, blue pupils, and the same fair skin as Annan. But his appearance is far less refined than Annan's. He still has freckles on his face, his cheeks are slightly high, and his eyes are small.

But it can be seen from the white and tender skin on his hands and face that this is indeed a young man from a noble family, and he usually takes care of himself very cleanly.

The boy held a bag of small sugar cookies tightly in his hand. Noticing the gaze of instructor Klaus, he nervously put the sugar biscuits behind him and ordered calmly: "Don't do this to John, Klaus! John...he didn't mean it either..."

His voice was quite loud at first, but he soon lost his confidence under the gaze of the middle-aged man.

Klaus just kept a straight face and politely explained to the noble boy: "I am your captain of the guard. The Earl asked me to look after you, and I will be responsible for your safety. In the North Sea Territory, The name of the Geraint family is far less useful than it was in the royal capital, and anything can happen here."

"It's not you anyway."

The young earl's son didn't care much about this: "There is also Lord Benjamin. My father said that he is a silver-level wizard. Is there any danger in a remote place like the North Sea Territory..."

"Please don't make it difficult for me to do it with the Count, Master Don Juan."

Klaus's tone was slightly serious: "At least on the surface, you were sent here by Lord Earl. Although Lord Benjamin and I are secretly protecting you, we can't help you much... yet Yes, it’s almost time to have dinner, no more sweets.”

"Okay, okay, I understand..."

Don Juan Geraint's mouth tightened, and he responded with some irritability.

Seeing that Don Juan didn't seem very convinced, Klaus turned his gun completely, no longer paying attention to John but scolded little Don Juan severely. It wasn't until Don Juan lowered his head and stopped talking back that he snorted, turned around, opened the door and left.

"Remember to keep an eye on the young master, John. Don't fall asleep again."

He finally warned Annan.

Annan responded immediately: "Yes, instructor!"

Seeing this, Klaus nodded with satisfaction and left.

Seeing him leave, Don Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned close to John and complained softly: "That guy Klaus talks too much. Do I have to report to him what I eat? Really... Anyway... Thanks, John. I've got that."

As he spoke, Don Juan pointed to his left armpit and said proudly: "I sewed it into the middle of my clothes."

"I still feel like this..."

Annan muttered vaguely, not saying much, just trying to get some new information.

Don Juan's face immediately darkened: "You don't understand... I can only feel at ease if I keep this thing close to my body."

After saying that, he sighed.

"Except for you, there is no one of my guards on this ship. They are either sent by my father or my two brothers. There is no one I can trust except you, John."

"I will protect you."

When Annan heard this, he immediately looked very moved and said righteously: "You can completely trust John."

Although he felt that the tone of the words "John" was a bit strange, Don Juan still nodded with relief: "Then I'll leave it to you... By the way, John, you continue to stay here and pretend to be asleep. Remember to keep an eye on me. package, don’t let anyone get close to it. You can go after I’m back after dinner.

"I always suspect someone is trying to steal it. If anyone approaches, drive him away and tell me who it is in private."

"I understand."

Annan's heart moved and he responded softly.

If anyone wants to get close... isn't it Klaus?

But apparently Don Juan does not doubt him yet. So Annan was smart enough not to say anything.

He just thought for a moment and said casually: "By the way, Master. Klaus just asked me where the other kid with black hair and blue eyes was on the boat. How should I answer?"

"...black hair and blue eyes?"

Don Juan was startled when he heard this: "Impossible, this is a characteristic of people from the North. Only people from the Principality of Winter have black hair and blue eyes. If it weren't for my mother... In short, there is no such thing on this ship. People."

At this point, he frowned slightly and confirmed, "Are you sure that's what Klaus asked?"

"Yes."

Annan replied seriously: "Do I want to reply to him like this?"

"No... don't worry yet. If he brings it up again, just say there is no such person - although there is indeed no such person."

The black-haired boy asked again uneasily: "Don't tell him what I just told you."

"Yes."

After Annan got the information he wanted, he also adhered to the principle of saying too much and making mistakes.

...Is there no such person on this ship?

That means that "I" was not killed on this ship? Well, that's right, this ship was not a shipwreck at all, but was looted and killed by traitors.

In this case...

Annan glanced at Don Juan and felt something in his heart.

Maybe I can replace his existence.

Now we need to get more information about this world, especially the personal secrets belonging to Don Juan...

Watching Don Juan close the door and leave, Annan once again felt the fainting feeling of being hit by a brick in the back of his head. But this time Annan is almost used to it.

He shook his head, and a large data stream appeared in front of his eyes.

[Even Count Geraint could not protect his youngest son, Don Juan Geraint. Perhaps Don Juan was sent to the most remote Northern Sea Territory, which was the last escape route he had laid for his son. 】

[The most important city in the Northern Sea Territory is the frozen water port bordering the Principality of Winter. If the Geraint family can survive the next disaster, then he can naturally return to the royal capital; if the Geraint family suffers a disaster, he can at least flee to the neighboring country's sphere of influence and apply for asylum as soon as possible. 】

[But obviously, poor Don Juan Geraint did not reach the frozen water port alive]

[His most loyal guard John, the same is true——]

After these traces faded, new words appeared in front of Annan's eyes again:

[Main mission: Complete John’s unfulfilled last wish]

Immediately, a large number of small words quickly appeared below this line of words:

【Find out the true identity of the betrayer】

【Live until dinner starts】

[Don’t let Don Juan Geraint drink the poisoned wine]

"...Betrayer."

Annan was thoughtful.

He suddenly remembered the resentful whisper that sounded like underwater when he first entered the instance.

"Betraitors will all die..."

At present, Annan believes that the most suspicious person seems to be the guard captain Klaus.

John was ordered to pretend to be asleep in the room in order to make him stay in this room more naturally. In this way, if he is caught by someone, he will not be alerted. From this point of view, young master Don Juan still has some sense.

However, he didn't seem to believe that the captain of the guard hired by his father was the one who planned to steal his treasure. Instead, it was the nonsense he just said that made the young master suspicious of Klaus. ~IndoMTL.com~ It's clear... at least in Don Juan's mind, that Klaus has no motive for taking his treasure, but may have ulterior motives for his parentage.

"...This kind of decryption difficulty can indeed only be regarded as a simple level."

After taking a look at the three mission details derived from the main mission, Annan sighed.

Forget it, after all, this game involves your own life safety. Let's be a little more serious.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and started thinking: "If I were John, what would I do?

"John is a very loyal guard. Probably the only one who is loyal to Don Juan...If you think about it from this point of view, he may really have never left here.

"Then, he probably didn't know who betrayed Don Juan until his death, and he was killed before the dinner started. But he also knew that Don Juan would be drunk with poisoned wine..."

Annan did not overlook a single detail.

John was the only man to die on the deck. There was only one spot of blood on the deck, under John.

So, John finally left the room. And when he left the room, it was when John was betrayed and died.

On the other hand, if you want to fulfill John's last wish, you must not stay here. Otherwise it would be a repeat of what happened to John.

I have at most three chances, so I must at least get some useful and advantageous information this time.

If we can know which people on the ship are traitors, when and where they plan to take action...such information can be used next time.

You won't know anything if you squat here.

We have to get out of here.

——But don't let Don Juan find out.

Annan's thinking became clearer.
