Just like before, Kieran sat face to face with the old Earl Aida.
As for the atmosphere
Also as silent as before.
Qin Ran sat there waiting for the old Earl of Aida to reveal the secret about the Snake Sect.
He had no intention of speaking first or urging the old earl.
After half a minute, the old count raised his head and looked at Qin Ran.
"Before I tell the secret about the Snake Sect, can you tell me the truth, do you look down on James?"
The old earl's inexplicable question made Qin Ran frown.
It wasn't that the other party guessed what was in his heart, but that Qin Ran was not used to this kind of oblique way of talking.
For Kieran who is habitually cautious, he would not look down on anyone.
This is true of ordinary people, let alone a king.
Qin Ran believes that no one who can become a king is a simple person, even if the other party has always been very cowardly.
But don't forget that before this, it was this cowardly person who had been restraining Jenny James, the Earl of Will in the south.
If James VIII is really as cowardly as he appears.
I'm afraid it has been killed long ago!
Kieran never doubted Jenny James' cruelty.
There is no doubt about Earl Will's ambition.
no more doubts...
Professional of the snake system!
The assassination of James VIII by the remnants of the Snake Sect was full of scruples.
It's the kind of scruples that want to get rid of it quickly, but are worried about the consequences of direct action.
Otherwise, a dagger and a crossbow would be more useful than that painting.
Qin Ran didn't believe that the other party was jealous of him.
Judging from the fact that the other party was easily drawn out and killed by him, the remnants of the Snake Sect had just dismissed him before.
With such an attitude, how could there be any scruples.
Besides him, who else in the entire Warren Palace would be jealous by the other party
Mary? Earl Schilling? Or the oppians
Neither fit the guesswork.
And when all that is thrown away, only one of the most improbable possibilities remains: James VIII himself.
That His Majesty the King who was lying on the bed, dying, might die at any time.
With such speculation, how could Qin Ran look down on the other party.
"No."
"He hides much more than he shows."
"I don't know why he's hiding it."
"Maybe it's because of Mary?"
"Or is it because of something else?"
"But one thing I can be sure of, James VIII is a man to watch out for."
Qin Ran shook his head and said so.
"James will be surprised if he hears your evaluation! He thinks he is hiding it well, but a young man who has never met him has completely seen through it."
"Twenty years ago, he was ambitious to change Warren, who was flooded and controlled by genre."
"For this reason, he specially made friends with people like me, not just me, but a group of people like me, including Holly who was killed by you!"
Holly? !
Holly who caused the demise of the Snake faction? !
In an instant, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
He thought of more things.
"That's right, it's exactly what you think it is."
"James single-handedly planned the destruction of the Snake faction—this is the secret I want to tell you!"
"In fact, it's not just the Snake faction, there are other factions entrenched in Warren!"
"They are hiding in Warren, openly or covertly, and we are also learning from them.
"When I think about those days now, I still feel excited."
"Every day is a new battle."
"Every day I get a little closer to my goal."
"Then… "
"We've had unprecedented success."
"Those genres moved away from Warren."
"But, we also failed."
"Because we didn't expect that the genre had already planted the shadows in our hearts."
As he said that, the old earl's expression changed from excitement to loneliness.
"Ellen, Mary's mother, James' lover and wife."
"Jane James, Mary's aunt, James' sister."
"You know all of this."
"And there are things you don't know."
The old earl's voice became lower and lower, and at the end it almost became a whisper.
Qin Ran couldn't hear what the other party was saying.
But he can guess.
Ai Lian, once the chief of the crow faction.
Jenny James, the chief who is not recognized by the Youshen faction.
These two appeared beside the young James VIII, but what about the others
For example: Where will ordinary disciples go for the backbone of some schools
The answer is self-evident.
The dazed expression of the old earl in front of him had already told him.
In other words, the reality told him.
The old earl had said they were a bunch of people.
But except for Holly who was killed by him, he only saw the old earl. Where did the rest go
die!
Apart from death, Kieran couldn't think of anything else.
If these people had not died, James VIII would not have looked so alone in the face of the invasion of the prairie people.
"Ah."
Suddenly, Qin Ran let out a chuckle.
"how?"
"you do not believe."
old earl
"No."
"I was just wondering, what would Mary do if she found out about this side of her father?"
Qin Ran said slowly.
"So, there are some things that I have to avoid Mary."
"she… "
As he spoke, the old earl shook his head and did not continue speaking.
"You're denying an established fact again."
"Moreover, you are still instilling in me what you think is the correct idea."
Qin Ran frowned.
"I'm not arguing about being right!"
"I don't want to deny it either!"
"But the fact is: Eileen's appearance and Mary's birth were all wrong."
"Do you know how painfully James once accepted his failure, and then hid here to linger?"
"Do you know how I feel when my companions die one after another, but I can only go to the south?"
"You do not understand!"
"You who haven't experienced it yourself, don't know all this at all!"
The old earl said with a straight neck.
He was agitated, his face was flushed, and veins appeared on his neck.
Then…
boom!
The old earl was kicked out by Qin Ran, and he rolled out of the door with the sofa.
"you!"
Struggling to get up from the ground, the old earl's face was red and swollen. He pointed at Qin Ran, his fingers were trembling.
Obviously, the other party didn't expect Kieran to do this.
"James' pain, your pain, your dead companions..."
"None of my business!"
"I'm just a friend of Mary's."
"So, you should thank Mary, if it weren't for her, you would be meeting your companions by now."
Qin Ran slowly retracted his left foot while hanging [Ji Ye]on his waist, and he walked towards the door.
Seeing Qin Ran who picked up [Extreme Night], the excited old count visibly shuddered. However, Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the other party at all, but bypassed the other party.
However, when passing by the old earl, Kieran paused.
"Now I'll tell you a secret too!"
"Did your so-called destruction of the 'Snake faction' really succeed?"
"You think what you see is everything?"
"Do you want to see the real truth?"
After speaking, Qin Ran continued to walk forward without waiting for the other party to answer.
The countenance of the old count who was sitting at the same place changed drastically. He thought of something, but he obviously didn't dare to admit it.
"Will not!"
"Will not!"
"You lied to me! You lied to me!"
The old count asked Qin Ran loudly.
But Qin Ran didn't answer.
There is only the night wind blowing slowly.
And, the crow-feather windbreaker fluttering in the night wind. nt
