Alien world

Chapter 96 95. Labels
The bedroom door opened silently, and a head poked out of the corridor.

"The head maid?"

A soft cry echoed in the quiet corridor.

Annan lowered his head and found Abby who was sitting by the door, leaning against the wall and waking up.

"Master Annan..."

Abby staggered to her feet.

"Please bring me a drawing board." Annan and the sleepy Abby said.

"Oh."

The sleepy girl staggered away, Annan closed the door and went back to the bedroom to continue to organize his thoughts.

After a while, Abby sneaked into the bedroom with the drawing board and easel, and Annan took it and put it next to the desk.

"Thank you."

Abby, who was about to go out, stopped at this moment, her skirt fluttered lightly as she turned around, and asked hesitantly, "Master Annan, do you want to paint an oil painting?"

"Just remembering something."

Annan suddenly remembered the scene of her curling up by the door.

"Are you sleeping outside the door?"

"I...I'm too sleepy, I'm sorry, Master Annan."

"I'm not blaming you, go back to your room and rest."

"The head maid said that you need a servant to serve you at all times."

"No... okay." Annan realized that he really needed the maid's help. He looked at the room on the other side of the corridor outside the bedroom door: "Is the next room a bedroom?"

"……I have no idea."

Annan thought for a while, took off the oil lamp hanging on the wall, went to the opposite side of the corridor, and pushed open the unknown door.

Light peeked into the room, revealing a dresser and a round bed.

Just a normal guest room, but a bit odd across from the master bedroom.

"You just rest here, don't close the door."

Abby thought of something, lowered her head, and gave a hesitant "hmm".

Annan hung the oil lamp by the door, went back to the study, closed the door gently, and searched for the drawers and desk.But there were no paintbrushes to be found, and the fireplace was clean.

Abby should have been lying down not long ago, but Annan gave up on waking her up, and walked out of the bedroom slowly, to the study at the end of the corridor.

The oil lamps here are always bright, but there is no pen to paint clearly on the drawing board.Annan still found a basket of charcoal in the utility room next door.

Picking out a few strips of charcoal that are easy to draw on, and returning to the study, Annan was about to draw on the drawing paper on which the drawing board was placed, when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something——

"Della?"

"what happened?"

A slender figure emerges from the shadows.

"...Have you been here all this time?"

"If it means that you ran to the study and took two pieces of carbon from the utility room."

"You go to rest too."

"it is good."

Della didn't ask why, and didn't say that she didn't need to rest, and left the bedroom with her slender legs.

After confirming that he was the only one left in the bedroom, Annan first wrote down the names related to the incident in order:

F ○ ○ ○ Si

wine lady
Michael

Oldo
Os ○·Al ○do (Old ○do's father)

Countess
黛菈
Soluman Bronzebeard

Rona ○○○

andrew luna

levi's sisters

Levi's

Then correspondingly write down the forces related to the event on the other side:
old aristocracy

Mage Tower

Breeze City

king of the north
secret society
Ratman
unknown
Slightly distanced from the drawing board, Annan held the charcoal pencil and looked at the first name on the left, François.

Francois needed to wash away the disgrace of his family, which was the reason why he took refuge in himself, and he hadn't concealed this from the beginning, so Annan connected it with the King of the North whom he represented.

Ms. Fine Wine is a bit complicated. As the first person she came into contact with, she has a close relationship with Fast and others, so she should be related to the secret society.But she recently opened up to herself about the family's troubles.Such an easily verifiable statement is unlikely to be a lie.So...Annan connected the Lady of Wine to the King of the North, and drew an additional dotted line to the Secret Society.

Michael.As the mage of the mage tower, it should be consistent with the mage tower and maintain neutrality, so there is no doubt that it belongs to the mage tower.Michael said that he just wanted to watch himself grow... But he, like the lady of wine, is inseparable from Mr. Fast, so he is also the king of the northern border with a solid line, and the dotted line connects to the secret society.

Olmedo.This young and upright city lord made Annan difficult. He was not with the old aristocrats, nor with the mage tower, and he might not even be with his family. noble.

Augusta Olmedo.Annan had only met this master spellcaster once suspected to be behind the scenes, and knew little about him, but he was still the biggest suspect in the attack on the Reeves convoy...a solid line belonged to the old nobleman, and a dotted line belonged to the rat people.

The Countess...seemed to be an unmistakable old aristocrat.But the Lady of Wine says she seems to want to join the King in the North, too.In addition, the different reactions of the countess at the banquet and the manor are suspicious, and Rona Gilman once said at the banquet that the countess's meat is smelly and old...so Mrs. Maria was connected by Annan's solid line To the old nobles, two dotted lines, one to the King in the North and one to the Ratmen.

Della.On the surface, she obeyed the wine lady, but Annan felt that the relationship between her and himself was more important than her and the wine lady, so he connected her to the king of the north.

Soluman Bronzebeard, like Michael, is connected to the Secret Society.

Rhona Gilman, a freak, connected to the unknown.

Andrew Luna was still closely related to Fast and the others, and he rarely came to find him on his own initiative. For the time being, a dotted line led to the secret society.

Levi's sisters... Annan didn't need to think about linking them to his role as the king in the north.

Levi's...that's the only exception.Annan did not connect him, but circled him alone.

Ever since he came to Breeze City, everything Annan encountered was related to Levi and the Reeves family behind him.Thinking conspiratorially, is it true that there is a vengeful undead that possesses himself as a counterfeit, so that he can lead out the real murderer and take revenge on him?
Annan put labels on those around him.Although the lack of clues makes these sorted labels not very meticulous, and even full of loopholes...but it barely makes Annan know who to trust and who to keep a distance:

Even to my own Francois, Ms. Wine, Michael, sister Levi's.

Augusta Olmedo and the Countess to the Ratmen
It's a pity that too many circles affect the beauty.

But that doesn't matter anymore.As Annan tore off the drawing paper, he threw them into the firewood under the crucible and ignited them, turning them into ashes that could not be recovered.

Annan began to meditate every day, and then fell into a deep sleep after the end. The experience during the day made Annan have a mixed dream.

He dreamed that he was sitting on a couch, and behind it were lined up with the Wine Lady, the Countess, the Erilander Master, Della, a pair of beautiful sisters, and a woman with fair hair.
