The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1730: ambition

Views:

Bohr found nothing unusual within the scope of the carriage entering the Sika Territory.

In the end, he can only attribute it to his lack of sharpness.

He decided that Qin Ran must have discovered something.

Then he put the thought aside for a moment, as a party of cavalry approached their carriage.

This is a cavalry team of fifty men, wearing metal breastplates, carrying matchlock guns, long swords, and crossbow bolts on the side of the saddle, almost fully armed, and full of murderous looks.

On the breastplate is the long sword family crest belonging to the Viscount Sika, and on it is the bloody and fiery long sword badge of the Temple of War.

Viscount Sika is a devout follower of the Temple of War, and his own family crest is naturally under the crest of the Temple of War.

"Good morning, sir."

The leading cavalryman greeted Boer very politely, and glanced at the bodyguard Ashcano and the war prizes and prisoners on the roof, both vigilant and envious.

Vigilance comes from fighting.

Envy also comes from fighting.

Fighting makes us strong and rich, but it also brings death. For this famous saying of the Temple of War, the people of the Northland always remember it in their hearts.

"Good morning, Your Excellency."

Bohr pushed open the door of the carriage and stepped down. Instead of taking off the fur, he clenched his fist with his right hand and lightly tapped on his chest.

The etiquette of the Temple of War made the cavalry leader less vigilant, and when Boer took out the identifications of himself, the bodyguard and Qin Ran, the other party's expression eased completely.

Then, when Bohr took out a flagon and handed it to the other party, a smile appeared on the other party's face.

“Homebrew from Morsa.”

Pol laughed.

"Fur and wine, the best of Morsa!"

The leader of the cavalry laughed, and then said in a low voice: "The Sika Territory has not been peaceful recently. There are always some guys who want to find trouble for nothing. You try to rush to the town during the day. When you enter the city, you say that you are Karl's friend. They I will give you the courtesy you deserve."

"Thank you, Mr. Karl."

Pole hammered his chest again, a small bag of coins slipped out of his cuff, and hung on the saddle of the cavalry leader without a trace.

The other party returned the salute with a smile, and after lightly hammering his chest, the cavalry team continued to go in the direction when the carriage came.

Bohr returned to the carriage after watching the cavalry leave.

"Thank you Father Mo Na, if he hadn't given me a few more ID cards, we would have been in trouble just now."

"The cavalry of Xikaling will not be dispatched at will. Something must have happened around."

Bohr said in a low voice, then looked at Qin Ran.

Boer thought that Kieran should know about this.

After all, this 'flame demon' discovered something before.

As for the fact that they counter-killed the robbers and attracted the cavalry from the Xikaling

No kidding.

If that was the case, the cavalry team just now would not be so polite.

Facing Boer's eyes, Qin Ran calmly picked up the teacup.

What happened, Qin Ran had some guesses.

However, he would not tell Pol.

or anyone.

For matters involving gods and spirits, you just need to think about it. Any words should be buried in the bottom of your heart. That is the safest choice, isn't it

And face the gods

It is not needed for now.

Now, what he needs is more information.

What's more, his most outstanding, most cost-effective, fearless of death, and most adaptable subordinates have already "contacted" each other. Kieran believes that he will have some news soon.

Qin Ran didn't say anything, but Boer didn't dare to ask.

"We're on our way."

"Boost!"

Pole patted the window behind him, emphasizing.

"Yes, Mr. Pole."

"We will arrive at Xika before sunset, and then, I will go to the Temple of War to write a letter to Lao Mo, and send him the extra income from this time. He should be able to change into a new leather jacket and stock up on more. Order some meat."

Ashkano said.

Then, the carriage moved significantly faster.

Father Mena, Ashkano's adoptive father, the priest of the Morsa Temple of War on the border, the only priest of Morsa on the border recognized by the Temple of War in Eitantinople, a very nice little old man.

Qin Ran had heard Boer talk about it.

According to Boll's words, he has received a lot of help from the other party, not only the powerful bodyguard Ashkano, but also some early guidance.

Of course, those IDs are also included.

In Hokuriku, there is nothing more useful than the identity certificate of the Temple of War.

Even Aitandin's royal family is not as good as the Temple of War God, let alone the various lords.

The identity certificates of each lord can pass in each territory, but if you want to leave the territory, you need to be cautious. It is best not to choose to go to hostile or poorly related territories.

Because, that would only be asking for trouble.

Bohr had expected this a long time ago. Through the relationship of Priest Mena, he got the identity certificate of the Temple of War, and just to be on the safe side, Bohr prepared a few more copies.

Qin Ran took over his ID card from Boer.

There is no photo, but another sketch-like portrait, with the name and a brief description below: Colin, a young man with black hair and black pupils.

The portrait was rushed by Pohl.

The painter is very good, it can't be said that it is lifelike, and it basically fits the characteristics of Qin Ran's current appearance.

"Your Excellency Colin, you'd better take it with you."

"The identity screening here is stricter than expected. 'Although the gods have temporarily averted their eyes, we should continue to watch the evil in the world for the gods'. The believers of the Temple of War God and Lady Calamity are all practicing this."

"It's the same with the lords everywhere."

"After all, they don't want any strange things to happen in their territory."

Boer reminded Kieran, and then, he moved to the stove again and picked up several charcoal lumps.

The northern land is very cold in winter, especially the border Morsa, Sikaland and the capital of Atendinoburg. If they can choose, most of the nobles will go to Livia to spend the winter, including the royal family.

Not this year, though.

Because of the 'decree' that Aitantine VI had just promulgated.

Kieran leaned back in the seat, trying to listen to Bohr's description in a comfortable posture.

He found that the reason why Bohr can get along well with Lawlessness is definitely because they both have the same trait: chatterbox.

Lawlessness belongs to the kind of obvious, where you can talk non-stop.

Bohr is hidden, keeping silent in the huge city, the kind that cannot be restrained once entering the copy world.

This moment is no exception.

As the carriage moved forward, sitting in the warm compartment, Pohl's narration never stopped.

"After the 'Black Calamity' raged, more strange things happened in the whole Hokuriku. When I first entered here, I encountered non-stop ravings in my ears. Whether it was day or night, I can guarantee that It wasn't a hallucination or a ghost, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I suffered from insomnia for three days in a row, and finally entered the Temple of War to find Father Mena. With the help of the priest, I got out of the predicament. Your Excellency Colin, you know What is that?"

"Also, at the border Morsa followed the caravan to cross the border for the first time. When I was camping at night, I heard the raving in my ear again, which was more obvious than before. Fortunately, I brought the 'blessing' given by Priest Mena Talisman', I held the Talisman tightly that night, and when it dawned, the ravings disappeared, and the entire caravan disappeared, except for me. They left all their goods and just disappeared. gone."

"And, and..."

Paul's narration continued.

Among them, the "blessing talisman" given by Priest Mona appeared quite frequently.

Even, they played the role of life-saving props every time, which made Qin Ran curious.

"Can I see the talisman?"

Qin Ran asked.

"sure."

Bohr did not refuse, and took out the talisman.

It was a palm-sized pebble with many lines drawn on it. It was hard for you to tell what these lines consisted of.

And, it's not ugly.

However, after seeing it, Qin Ran inexplicably felt... shocking.

Even, with a hint of nausea.

That's right, it's nausea and nausea.

There is no danger.

There is no malice.

But it was as if seeing a large pile of excrement suddenly appearing in front of him, with flies flying on it, the feeling of shock and nausea arose spontaneously.

Frowning, Kieran leaned back again.

"Your Excellency Colin, do you need to take a look at it yourself?"

Bohr handed over the talisman while talking.

"No."

"Please put it away."

"I have already perceived its extraordinary."

Qin Ran said clearly.

"certainly!"

"Father Mo Na said that as long as I don't do anything too outrageous when encountering strange things, it will definitely ensure my safety."

With Qin Ran's affirmation, Boer cherished the talisman in his hand more and more. He raised his hand to caress the talisman carefully, and then put it into his arms with great treasure.

This appearance made Qin Ran move his own teacup on the table a little distance away from the other party as much as possible.

He didn't want his teacup to have any contact with the other party.

but…

have been in touch before.

Inexplicably, Qin Ran felt a little nauseous, he resisted the idea of purifying the other party with the 'Devil's Flame', and descended to control his thoughts to spread out.

After seeing Qin Ran thinking, Boer wisely chose to shut up, and continued to add carbon to the heater to make the car even warmer.

The warmth in the carriage in winter made Qin Ran's mind very active.

He was the first to confirm one thing: the world has changed because of the 'black disaster'.

There is no doubt that in this world with gods, changes in the world are changes among the gods.

The authority of the old gods has been challenged.

The new gods are growing stronger by the day.

And among them, some inexplicable and weird guys took the opportunity to mix in.

Possibly an evil god.

There is also the possibility of the devil.

And possibly demons.

It might even be... people!

They began to create chaos, expecting to gain greater benefits. No matter what the existence was, all the guys were first staring at their respective sites, not only highly nervous, but also probing each other. Because of this, when he dispatched some After the 'siren', there was a quick presence to respond.

Qin Ran, who was no longer a rookie, summed up quickly.

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What are those strange mist-like things?"

Qin Ran was talking to himself from the bottom of his heart.

Ordinary people can't see it, so it is naturally summarized as extraordinary.

But in this place where there are still gods, the most direct and easiest way for Chaofan is to connect with the gods.

"That line of sight came from the Temple of War God?"

Qin Ran thought uncertainly.

Because of these evil mist-like things, it is difficult for people to associate with God of War, even the kind of evil butcher God of War who takes pleasure in killing.

Not only is there no trial of blood and fire on the battlefield, but there is not even a trace of fighting breath.

There is only a sense of weirdness.

It is quite in line with the feeling of that 'Ms. Calamity'.

"Is it the other party?"

Qin Ran guessed, and once again thought of the heavily armed cavalry team before.

If it was really that Lady Calamity, the battle here would be even more intense than he had imagined.

One side moves, and the other side immediately fights back.

"Has it reached the point where it's like water and fire?"

Qin Ran crossed his hands, propped his elbows on the table, and covered his mouth and nose.

He was thinking about whether there was a "broker" in it.

Therefore, he issued a new order to the higher-ranking evil spirits who had escaped into the ground: take the initiative to participate.

"Active participation?"

"I'm just an evil spirit, not a god!"

"My tolerant, great, vast, and powerful boss, can I have a normal life?"

Hiding underground and avoiding that gaze, the higher evil spirit begged.

Qin Ran's answer was very straightforward.

"cannot."

"Evil spirits are not human beings, so they cannot possess human life."

Such straightforward words made the upper evil spirit want to cry aloud.

It is not human, but it should also have human rights

Not to mention 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round, not to mention the salary and bonus, let alone this, so it should at least be respected

What is the minimum respect

It's really bullying evil spirits!

If I don't do anything else, I'm not an evil spirit!

"Hurry up and work."

Qin Ran's indifferent voice sounded in his mind again.

"OK."

"I will serve you wholeheartedly, my boss!"

After the superior evil spirit saluted respectfully, he immediately moved into action.

As for what was said just now

How can there be any inner thoughts, are you just talking for fun

Of course, it's not all jokes.

At least, it is doing something now: working hard to complete the boss's commission.

Sensing that the patrolling line of sight was about to disappear, the upper evil spirit suddenly showed its figure. At this moment, its face was pale, and it looked like it had been backlashed. On the body of the upper evil spirit, it protruded from left to right, as if it was There is something hidden in the body, and it seems that it is about to come out. Anyone who sees the appearance of the upper evil spirit at this moment will not doubt that the upper evil spirit is suffering some huge change.

But even so, the high-ranking evil spirits were still running quickly.

Once out of the ground, he chased in the direction the carriage left.

In this direction, the cavalry advancing at full speed was getting closer.
