The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 79: He is such a good person

Looking at the unpredictable expression on Viscount Barbour's face, Annan couldn't help laughing.

He felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.

——Sure enough, the bet was right.

From the beginning, Annan guessed that Viscount Barbour would probably know "Don Juan Geraint". After all, this old man has lived too long. It is entirely possible that he knows even Annan, let alone Don Juan.

Even if there is a very small possibility that he has never seen or known Don Juan, and has never seen his portrait, he at least knew Don Juan's grandfather.

The Viscount would never have thought that he would help Annan by inviting him in alone...

This is basically helping Annan hide his identity.

Otherwise, the vest of "Don Juan Geraint" will fall off today.

"You, you are not Don Juan Geraint at all! You are the one from the Lingdong family... Annan!?"

Alvin Barber's lips trembled a little, and his voice even broke: "Is it you?"

Looking at the old Viscount's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Annan was a little suspicious. He might have almost scared the old man to death just now...

Annan only had a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, it's me.

"As for where Don Juan is... I think you should know clearly."

"...That's it, that's it. No wonder, no wonder..."

Old Alvin murmured, leaning back on the stool. There was still fear and panic in his eyes, but he seemed to have gradually figured something out.

Annan kept a gentle smile and watched him quickly regain his composure.

The Viscount was silent for a while and then asked.

"...Don Juan, that boy, really went to feed the fish?"

The old man's voice is still a little hoarse. This may be because he was too excited just now.

Annan just smiled and didn't reply.

Being so quiet and passive... is also part of the cliché.

The so-called waiting for others to choose.

When facing old Alvin, you can no longer actively guide him to think like you did with Salvatore.

He is suspicious and experienced, so he has to use another set of tricks...

"Did the third prince find you? Or did you find the third prince?"

The Viscount thought silently for a while before continuing to ask slowly.

Good question.

Annan smiled coldly in his heart.

No matter how Annan answers, one thing will be exposed directly - that is, it is acquiescence that they are cooperating with the third prince; and if Annan does not cooperate with the third prince, there will definitely be some problems exposed in the answer.

It looks like a multiple-choice question, but it is actually an application question.

Annan deliberately hesitated at this time and did not answer directly. He turned to look at the sturdy bald man.

In such a cold weather, he was wearing a thin shirt. The muscles on his body can even bulge out of the top of his shirt, leaving obvious marks. Looks like an underground boxer.

"This is..."

Annan changed the subject and deliberately asked: "Is it your... butler?"

"My name is Justin Kerney, Your Excellency."

Before the old Viscount could reply, Justin had already stood up from his chair and saluted Annan respectfully: "Grandma loves all her family members."

"May grandma love you too, dear brother."

Annan replied obediently.

He immediately turned around and said hello to the old Viscount: "And you, Grandpa Barber."

This is the greeting etiquette commonly used in the Principality of Winter, which Annan specifically found out from the book before -

Just like the Kingdom of Noah, who believed in Silver Siren, they would mention Silver Siren or silver coins in greetings.

Meetings and greetings in the Principality of Winter are usually based on kinship. For example, "Grandma loves you, brother", "May grandma bless you, uncle, and everything goes well today" and so on.

But those with low status can only give broad blessings when greeting people with high status but not familiar with them. At this time, if you directly address the other person as a family member, it will appear to be very relational and flattering... Of course, it is not impossible if you are thick-skinned enough.

If the other party responds in the same broad sense, it means alienation; and if the other party is willing to call you in a close way, it means that the other party also maintains goodwill towards you.

The only exception is the elderly.

In the Principality of Winter, elders are respected, and the status of the elderly is very high. Even if you see the lord, there is no need to say hello or salute. Instead, the lord has to say hello to the old man... If the old man is old enough, the local lord will send money and food to the old man every year.

Based on this custom, even if Annan has a gentle attitude and answers every question, he will not be suspected of being too attentive. After Annan's previous misdirection, the old Viscount would only think that this was all after taking off the matryoshka doll of "Don Juan Geraint".

——Do you think I am Don Juan? Are you from the Geraint family?

——You are wrong, actually I am Annan Lindong.

——Do you think I am a winter person?

——You are wrong again. In fact, I am a time traveler.

The old Viscount nodded slowly, his attitude softening somewhat.

"This is my new butler, who is also my captain of the guard. He is a nice young man."

He briefly introduced Justin to Annan, then turned to the bald man and said seriously: "Go and ask the kitchen if there is still dinner.

"Since you called me grandpa, please stay for dinner tonight."

The old Viscount’s real purpose is to temporarily drive Justin away.

Annan specifically asked Justin before answering this question, secretly asking Viscount Barbour if he could let Justin know.

Old Alvin also made his own response.

——No.

Justin also obviously understood what Alvin Barber meant. He didn't say much, just nodded and left the room. ~IndoMTL.com~ He didn’t think anything would happen to the old Viscount.

Although these two people are old and young, they are both people of status. A person with status will not turn over the table easily.

And there is no conflict of interest between them at all.

Old Alvin’s enemy is Don Juan of the Crow family. But Annan is not Don Juan at all, so they are not enemies, but temporary comrades with the same enemy.

As for An Nangui, he is the son of the Grand Duke, and his status is much higher than that of old Alvin. He personally lurked to the Frozen Water Port, and it was natural that he could not be plotting the life of a viscount... He also needed the support of old Alvin, a native.

At the same time, Annan came over and pretended to be Don Juan Geraint, who was killed by the third prince's men, which meant that he, the third prince, might have a deal with the Principality of Winter.

No matter what Justin thought, he didn't think it was possible for the two of them to fight.

On the contrary, if he knew too much, his life might be in danger...

He was very grateful to Annan.

I guessed that I was not the Viscount’s retainer, so I specially persuaded myself to leave before telling secrets...

"He is such a good guy."

He sighed.

On the other side, the old Viscount had passed out in his seat with a tired look on his face.

Annan took a breath, and the dull gray light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Then he took out a hammer and kitchen knife from his satchel.

Annan was grateful to Justin who obeyed and left.

Faced with such a big secret, this big man could not resist lying at the door and eavesdropping...

"He is a smart man."

Annan commented.

It can be said that he is extremely smart.

——Unfortunately, I have never seen what a house-changing tactic is.
