Chapter 180: Benjamins Pa.s.sword

Annan didnt dare to show too much abnormality.

For now, his behavior was entirely in line with the behavioral characteristics of a Venerated Skeletons priest.

After all, not many dared to call the Venerated Skeleton by the name near Freezing Water Port, except for the Venerated Skeletons believers. Those who were insolent in committing this act would be dragged into a nightmare. This somewhat reinforced the fact that Annan was like his senior.

Indeed, senior.

Rotten Mans ascendancy ritual was modified from the ascendancy ritual the Venerated Skeleton invented.

As the Venerated Skeleton became a deity by the name of Grand Duke, he was second-rated in the face of Elegant Elder, the deity of n.o.bility.

Likewise, Rotten Man, who borrowed the ritual base of the Venerated Skeleton to become a deity, was naturally substandard in front of the Venerated Skeleton.

Such rationality made sense to indicate that Annan had a higher status than Klaus.

But if Annan asks too many questions, especially low-ended ones, it would arouse Klaus suspicion.

Klaus certainly didnt dare to bet whether he was in a nightmare. But he could also give some false information or refuse to answer.

So Annan could only ask a few brief questions and granted freedom to Klaus in executing the plan.

But, Annan still managed to confirm some information in this encounter.

The baby who would be born on December 14 was indeed Michelangelo. The Rotten Mans forces even know the babys future name Michele Nottdamm.

For some reason, the Rotten Man Church also intended to ruin this ritual.

They had known this piece of news a long time ago and arranged the ritual of eradicate reincarnations in Roseburg in advance, intending to eradicate Michelangelos soul before the resurrection. In other words, that was to sever the power and memory of the previous life from the baby.

Before that, they arranged some forces in Roseburg.

Not Transcended, just mortals.

But they were all pious believers of Rotten Man and were adequate to act as the key to start the ritual.

It seemed the Rotten Man Church didnt even plan to surface.

In other words, they didnt dare to approach Roseburg when their intended ritual was activated.

Annan could figure out this because of another piece of information that was still pending to be verified:

Klaus and the Rotten Man believers had infiltrated into the kingdoms higher-ups. They had already been lurking by the Noah Kingdoms direct heirs.

In other words, every princes advisors knew each other. The purpose was to ensure that the ritual could proceed smoothly.

They were putting up a show in cooperation with each other.

And one of these heirs wasnt quite obedient.

That heir would arrive in Roseburg just in time on the day Michelangelo was resurrected.

Annan wasnt sure whether the heir would come or not.

But, from Klauss vague hints, Annan could instead be sure of another thing. On that day, it would be a disaster for those ordinary people. Its destruction would put a royal heir protected by a Transcended to an accidental death.

If we were to look at Annans force, there were only 5 Bronzes aside from Annan himself.

Unfortunately, this might be the strongest lineup Annan could muster.

This wont be easy.

Annan thought about it.

He wished Benjamin could tell him more.

At this time, Annans previous arrangements for Klaus were made. After watching the three followers left, Annan nodded and asked Klaus, Is the person you arranged reliable?

Dont worry. They dont know the ultimate goal.

Klaus replied calmly, They only thought that I was going to poison Don Juan. With that, the killing intent wouldnt be directed at Benjamin. So whether Benjamin had the Soul s.n.a.t.c.h or Prophet school spells, he wont be aware of it.

He is a wizard from Swamps Black Tower. So, he must be equipped with the Soul s.n.a.t.c.h spells. Annan solemnly told Klaus, Do remember not to look into Benjamins eyes. Also, dont have any conversations with your men until they have completed the mission.

This was what Klaus once said to him in the previous nightmare dungeon attempt.

Annan altered it, mixed in some false information, and returned the information to Klaus.

What Klaus wanted to say should be something similar. This would undoubtedly increase his acknowledgment of Annans ident.i.ty.

When Klaus heard Annans words, he shuddered and nodded seriously, Okay, I understand.

Then, he took Annan and walked onto the deck.

The banquet had started for a long time. The guards huddled in the corner and chatted as they a.s.sessed their surroundings while eating their last supper before they went ash.o.r.e.

It was completely different from the previous dungeon attempts.

Annan, whose Perception attributes had been strengthened several times compared to when he first tackled this dungeon instance, keenly sensed the tension of these guards.

Everyones eyes deliberately avoided Don Juans table.

The atmosphere was stifling. The trio ate quickly.

Somehow, no one was causing a commotion, unlike the usuals.

So a suspicion immediately emerged in Annans mind. It was a problem that he, as a Bronze Rank Wizard, could notice.

Benjamin, who was already at the Silver Ranks peak, would he not detect it?

Annan suddenly remembered something. Don Juan Geraint owned the nightmare he entered. He also found Don Juans body on the s.h.i.+p.

But the problem was

What about Benjamins nightmare?

The Third Prince had long known the two curses on Benjamin. In this case, would Klaus, who wasnt loyal to the Third Prince, absorb Benjamins curse?

Immediately, Annan noticed Benjamins gaze.

Unlike what Annan told Klaus, Annan looked straight into Benjamins eyes.

Benjamin watched the two approaching and looked at Klaus and other traitors who dared not look at him. There was a faint sarcasm in his eyes, but he still pretended there was nothing wrong, only revealing a slight suspicion.

But then, Benjamin looked at Annan with was a trace of confusion.

At this moment, Annan stepped forward in Klauss somewhat surprised gaze.

Before being seen by Klaus, Annans face had a frightened and straightforward look that belonged to John.

Young Master!

Whats wrong, John?

Don Juan immediately asked nervously, What happened?

Annan still remembered that Don Juan had agreed with John before that John would come to him immediately if something went wrong.

At this time, Annan had no intention of repeating the scene of the last time.

He knelt beside Benjamin.

He lowered his voice and said to Benjamin, Evelyn Miller, the fox under the table, 15, the eighth soldier
