Chapter 13: Klaus, You Are Inhumane
Annan quickly understood the meaning of Book of Divine Transporter.
Though, he didnt know Truth Fragment had this function or if this was the unique authority of Book of Divine Transporter. The authority Annan got was precisely what he was most desperate for.
-Having control over the player. In other words, the right to delete the player(s) account.
To be more detailed, Annan could delete the player(s) from this world with a single word if he became upset.
With an Elite Rare (Gold) status template, Annan had a sense of urgency.
Based on his professional understanding in previous life, he had an in-depth knowledge of the player group:
Their ultimate trump card in the game was immortality.
This trait made the players fearless. They would not abide by almost all the rules and rely on the basic thinking of Is it fun? in doing everything. As an adventurer, the players would loot what they see when they slip through the locked door and pick the lock; as superheroes, the players would take turns in beating up the opponent. They would kill innocent pa.s.sers-by and even attack chickens in the village with the weapons in their hands.
They heed no stance at all. After completing the mission to help Party A fight Party B, they would still take over the mission to help Party B fight Party A. If the NPC that issued the mission could also be attacked, then they might kill both sides; if the merchant who sold or carried valuables had low combat power (and looks ugly at the same time), the merchant might not survive to the next day when he encountered the players. As they ride a horse on the street, they wouldnt bother what was on the road. They were the drivers that never waited for traffic lights.
In short, players were a group of terrifying world saviors who had no sense of justice at all.
Few players personally emphasized themselves in the game and had an immersive experience. The vast majority of players were ruthless utilitarians.
Against players, the only advantage
would probably be good looks.
Players would always be tolerant of good-looking NPC or boss; some of the players would be their enthusiastic fans too. The players would even let them amend their evil deeds and have a certain headstrong degree.
But if the NPC didnt look good, the players usually didnt have the desire to learn more about this NPC.
From this point of view, the players were quite realistic.
Annans neutral level in appearance might also be the safest.
Initially, Annan had a pessimistic att.i.tude towards this issue. But after getting the Book of Divine Transporter, his mindset immediately changed.
Although he had become an NPC in this current real world, he could delete the players accounts.
Then, he was equivalent to the game master.
It was even possible for him to be the game planner after collecting all the pages in the Book of Divine Transporter!
As long as he could hold a little bit of authority in his hand, Annan would have tremendous confidence to moderate the players.
What is this? The G.o.d of planning?
But, if thats the case
Annan looked at the status attribute [This function can be used after 40:33:23.] and made up his mind.
One does not give up halfway casually. Annan intended to create his background directly.
He did not plan just to borrow Don Juans ident.i.ty and become a lord!
He had to work hard to make himself appear like a protagonist! To manifest this sort of background, it was best for the players to think that Annan was the game protagonist subconsciously. The players lovely, respectable and amiable leader at their side.
Annan took a deep breath and touched the Book of Divine Transporter page fragment.
The moment Annan touched it, it immediately melted into a light spot and engraved on Annans right palm, forming a strange rune:
A black ring with only one point missing on it. At the gap, a vertical line segment was inserted in it.
Annan didnt feel anything amiss but thought that it was quite awesome.
But, after he looked at it for a while, he suddenly realized that this symbol was a bit like a computers power b.u.t.ton. It looked a bit like a paw at a simple glance.
He also subconsciously pressed it twice.
Except for the soft and cold flesh, he didnt press anything else.
Tsk
.
He shook his head and did nothing more.
He exchanged his clothes with Don Juan and looted all the items belonging to Don Juan. Those were daggers, pocket watches, letters, and so on.
Annan also wore the relic ring belonging to Don Juans mother.
Until this time, Annan found Annans only token in the inner pocket.
It was a silver badge with a rather exquisite wolf head relief sculpture.
Only one side of the wolfs head was shown. The wolf looked to the right with its hair fluttering wildly. The wolfs eyes were small and light blue gems. It could be ice blue diamonds too, but Annan didnt have much knowledge to find out about this.
This was a token belonging to Annans body.
From a safety point of view, he should throw it into the sea without hesitation. Forget the name Annan and live as Don Juan until the time comes.
But, Annan fixedly stared at the badge for a long time and suddenly laughed.
What was I hesitating just now?
He laughed at his timidity and put the Chilly Austere family emblem into his arms.
If Im a coward, I cant achieve anything great
.
Even if Im afraid of this worlds original dwellers, how do I strategize against the players?
Even if my ident.i.ty is exposed, whats the big deal if someone is coming for me?
Would everyone be kind to me when my ident.i.ty is not revealed? Can cowardice solve the problem?
Annan, who just came out of the nightmare, cheered.
Annan had just experienced being betrayed by an upright guard. He had a strong distrust of the n.o.bles average moral level in this world.
I will raise a group of players later on. The others should thank me for not troubling them. Why should I be afraid of getting into trouble?
That is indisputable.
If someone comes to find fault in me, I will show my power and resolve the matter.
Should I be afraid of their players who can resurrect indefinitely?
Come on. You can leave this world with peace of mind, young master.
Putting his original clothes on Don Juans body, Annan threw it into the black sea.
The corpse sank quickly with no trace to be seen.
Annans mouth rose slightly, revealing an elegant smile.
This smile was 80% similar to Don Juan, which appeared quite so creepy, As a reward for borrowing your ident.i.ty
Let me avenge you on your murder.
Don Juan died yesterday or the night before. At that time, they were only at the distance of one nights journey from Don Juans new territory Freezing Water Port.
Judging from the time, this place should not be far from the Freezing Water Port. After the sunrise, Annan could set out to explore.
Annan searched every room under the deck to be safe and confirmed that the ritual had been terminated. There was no one on the deck, not even a corpse, but just some bloodstains.
As expected, Klaus took away the mirror and bull tongue used to hold the ritual. He even flushed the room with urine to dissipate the blood stench.
The most terrible thing Annan found out was that the cash, jewelry, and artworks that Don Juan had brought along were looted.
Klaus, you are inhumane!
Annan didnt even leave the toilet, comb, quilt, and pillow. The only thing not taken away was the two ballast rooms full of wine barrels.
These wines probably could still sell for some money. But Annan couldnt carry them alone.
Annan had a strong desire to complain:
Klaus, you take away all the necessities. You only leave Don Juans body with all valuable things looted. Do you treat everyone else as a fool?
After confirming that Klaus didnt even save a copper coin and a bite to him, he silently noted this grudge down.
You dare steal my money! I will remember it.
Taking out an unopened wine barrel, Annan drank some wine to quench his thirst and boost his courage.
Annan took odds and ends, turned his back to the rising sun, and set off alone.
