Chapter 177: Rotten Man’s Ritual
(Translator note: I will highlight Blue on the texts that go too deep into the lore rather than theexperience)
It would be short-sighted to only focus on Benjamin to acquire more information
Klaus knew a lot as well
The way to clear this dungeon instance was to kill all betrayers
Basically, that was to kill everyone except Benjah Annan did see a handful of “loyal underlings,” their numbers were too few
And in the second live, they all died of unknown AOE from Benjamin
When they were dead, and Klaus was also dead, the dungeon instance was forced to an end
Annan could no longer ask Benjamin those questions
Yet, Annan didn’t plan to spare Klaus’s life for detailed questioning
After all, Klaus was too dangerous
After seeing so erous a Silver Rank Transcended was
Carney of the Bronze Rank could becoth was far beyond the ordinary Bronze Rank Transcended When Annan cleared this dungeon instance last time, Klaus was desperate He activated the curse and tried to demonize himself
This was probably why Benjamin was so nervous back then and asked Don Juan to freeze Klaus to death
Once Klaus completed demonization, a Silver Rank Wizard (especially the Alteration Wizard) ht not be able to beat him
So the most proper choice was to kill Klaus with a backstab as soon as there was an opening for it
Until then, soe in the cabin ahead of tiuarantee that the dungeon instance wouldn’t end even when Klaus was killed
So, Annan had to finish his question with Klaus beforeBenjamin
What kind of identity should Annan choose?
First of all, Annan was certain that Klaus was also a believer of the Rotten Man Church and a subordinate of the Third Prince Moreover, the Third Prince ht not know that Klaus was related to the Rotten Man Church
Hence, taking sides with neither “Princess Royal” nor “King” would work
If Annan intended to betray Don Juan Geraint’s forces, then Annan’s status was lower than Klaus Everything would be the sahtmare
If Annan claimed to be a member of the Rotten Man Church or the Third Prince, then it became inconvenient for Annan to ask for information
—Hence, there was only one faction that could work
That would be the Venerated Skeleton
The Rotten Man’s forces knew fro that the Venerated Skeleton hi Water Port
That hy Klaus and the others didn’t dare to stay Instead, they ran away after getting off the shi+p It was even possible that they had escaped by boat without getting to Freezing Water Port
They knew that the relationshi+p between the Venerated Skeleton and Rotten Man was terrible
Just as the Venerated Skeleton caence Rotten Man was reluctant to provoke the Venerated Skeleton, but the Venerated Skeleton was actively looking for Rotten Man’s trouble
“I think you htly, “Why don’t you visit us at the Freezing Water Port?”
Annan could see a horrified expression on Guard Captain Klaus’s face
Klaus was taken aback by this answer
He blinked his eyes intermittently
Then, he stepped back a little hesitantly, looked at Annan with some suspicion, and asked in a low voice, “Why do you ask me if I serve the Third Prince?”
“This is because I want to tell you that our next conversation has nothing to do with those two”
Annan s the mortals Don’t overco at so this, cold sweat broke out fro the Rotten Man church
This is a secret that even the Third Prince doesn’t even know!
Their Rotten Man church had just evacuated from Austere-Winter Dukedo their forces to the Noah Kingdo the royal family
Yet, news had already leaked to the Venerated Skeleton side
“Does that lord already know about this?” asked Klaus respectfully
Annan nodded soleradually becaoal fro, no matter it is about’s Rotten Man’s intention to complete his Immortality Ritual and what you did in Austere-Winter Dukedom
