"What do you think of the gods
"The gods of Navia."
Qin Ran didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
However, after the words came out, he emphasized 'Navia' again.
"Holy and powerful."
"besides… "
"Fight openly and covertly!"
After Etelina said the answer that everyone knew, she added another sentence softly.
Even if the gods of Navia could not be contacted, the long-standing habits could not be changed.
In fact, if the person in front of her was not Qin Ran, Etrina would not have said a word disrespectful to the gods.
And after such words came out, the priestess of the Temple of Thorns had a glimmer of understanding.
"You mean?"
"Um."
"It's very possible, and it's very likely that everything that happened now happened according to that person's plan."
Qin Ran nodded.
"But it doesn't make sense!"
"There is no reason to destroy the entire city of Navia!"
"That's the city of Navia, the city of Navia containing twenty-five temples!"
Estelina shook her head puzzled.
"Perhaps the man thought twenty-five was too much?"
"They are like humans, they will fight openly and secretly."
"So… "
"There is nothing wrong with giving birth to some greed like humans."
Qin Ran looked at Aitelina with a smile.
Obviously, such an answer was unacceptable to the aboriginal Etelina for a while.
She is smart and ambitious.
But such cleverness and ambition are all within a frame, and never go beyond the frame. Once it goes beyond this frame, it becomes a bit unacceptable.
But in her heart, Etelina thought what Qin Ran said was true.
Based on this idea, Aitelina immediately had a new guess.
"Do you think it's possible that all of this has exceeded that person's expectations?"
"He arranged everything and planned everything, but an accident happened at a critical moment?"
"So that it became what it is now?"
Estelina propped her chin with one hand, thinking.
"possible."
"But it's not very likely."
Kieran denied Etelina's idea.
Although he very much hoped that this idea was true, if that was the case, his next plan would be much easier to handle, but Kieran's rationality told him that such a fact was almost impossible.
Under Aitlina's gaze, Qin Ran said seriously.
"As the main god of Navia, if something unexpected happens, he will never be so indifferent at the last moment."
"Have you ever seen a corpse belonging to the Thunder Temple personnel?"
"Or during those few days, did you notice something strange about the Temple of Thunder?"
"No!"
"Everything is going on as usual."
"But at the last moment, it disappeared without a trace."
"If this isn't planned, I can't imagine what else is planned. After all, even if the Devourer wants to kill that person, it can't be done without any movement or sound."
As he spoke, Qin Ran looked towards the door.
Aitlina wisely stopped her questioning, picked up the pillow on the bed, put it behind Qin Ran's back, and covered Qin Ran's lap with the quilt.
And Qin Ran showed a tired face very cooperatively.
After doing all this, there was a knock on the door.
Boom, boom, boom!
Amidst the rhythmic knock on the door, with Qin Ran's approval, the other party pushed the door open and entered.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a full body armor. He has completely shaved off his beard and has thick hair. He has piercing brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and a scar left by the past on the left cheek, which runs across the entire cheek.
"Knight Commander!"
After seeing Qin, the middle-aged man bowed and saluted without hesitation.
On the face and in the eyes, there is reverence like a hot sun.
Nelson, who was born in the Temple of Thorns, was really impressed by the man in front of him. He used to be the 'King of Killers', then the 'God Slayer', and now the 'Hero'. He couldn't imagine how a person would behave. To the extent of the man in front of him.
But because of this, Nelson admired the man in front of him who looked much younger than him.
Of course, the main reason is that the man in front of him was also from the Temple of Thorns.
and…
Also used to be the high priest.
Nelson very much believed that if it wasn't for the 'Devourer', he would only be able to see this man who would make the Temple of Thorns grow stronger only when the three-year rotation period expired and he returned to the Temple of Thorns in Navia City. , and even reached the peak of the high priest.
All the worshipers of the Temple of Thorns in Aia's Outpost think so.
And, it is also expected.
If 'The Devourer' doesn't show up.
Thinking of 'The Devourer', Nelson, who had a firm belief, became resentful, but because of this resentment, he respected the man in front of him more and more.
Nelson knew very well that without the man in front of him, the situation would only get worse.
And look at the other party with a tired face, right
It must have been fighting since the appearance of 'The Devourer'.
It is unimaginable to be left in the battle of the gods with a mortal body.
Whether it is strength or courage.
Especially the latter made Nelson, who was the Knight of the Temple of Thorns, admire him even more, so that the enthusiasm in the other party's eyes became several times hotter again.
"Nelson?"
Qin Ran asked.
"It's me, Sir Knight Commander."
The head of the outpost who called out his name looked at Qin Ran in surprise.
It never occurred to him that Qin Ran knew him.
Once the High Priest of the Temple of Thorns, although most of the time, Kieran was not in charge of things, but this does not mean that Qin Ran did not understand the composition of the Temple of Thorns, especially except for the high-level priests, chief priests, and knight commanders. Outside, an isolated force.
The outpost of Aia belongs to the twenty-five temples of Navia.
But it is not managed at the same time, but a rotation system is carried out, once every three years, starting from the Temple of Thunder, every temple is no exception, and a big rotation is carried out in seventy-five years.
And this time it happened to be the turn of the Temple of Thorns.
Naturally, the chosen outpost chief might not be the strongest, but he was the most loyal to the Temple of Thorns.
Nelson is.
Qin Ran, who had read the other party's profile, summed up the other party's words in one sentence: a fanatic with chivalry.
Chivalry such as justice, mercy, and bravery can only appear in the Temple of Thorns, which regards "fate" as a grind, and it is really unimaginable to put it in other temples.
Example: Temple of the Torturer.
So, in some ways, the Lady of Thorns is magnanimous.
This made her followers love her even more.
It also makes people who hate her hate her even more.
Undoubtedly, this kind of affection also appeared in Qin Ran.
"I have prepared the food."
"Maybe, it's not as delicious as you imagined, but it's enough."
"Do you have any other orders?"
Nelson asked.
"there is none left."
"As long as the food is faster."
Qin Ran said with a smile.
Facing Qin Ran's order, Nelson and the soldiers broke out with unprecedented speed.
Huge chunks of roast meat and bread were brought up.
Simple and unpretentious.
Fits the barracks very well.
Smelling in Qin Ran's eyes when he smelled the barbecue.
He ate the food in front of him at an astonishing speed, and then everyone was shocked by the amount of food he had eaten. You must know that this is the food supply for five people.
"Everything about you is amazing."
Nelson admired.
"The beauty of food always makes me unable to help myself."
"Nelson, I want to rest for a while, there is nothing to bother me."
After Qin Ran smiled, he ordered.
"Understood, Knight Commander."
Carrying the empty dinner tray with his subordinates, Nelson left the room, along with Etelina, without any reluctance.
She knew the man had plans.
From the time the opponent appeared on the battlefield openly, she had guessed.
The door was gently closed.
Qin then took a step back, and his whole body melted into the shadows.
Then…
Another 'Qin Ran' appeared.
It smelled the smell of barbecue and bread left in the air, hugged the thin bedding expressionlessly, and prayed for more warmth in its heart.
