The assassin who succeeded in one blow shrank like a cat, and escaped the attack of the rich middle-aged man's two attendants.
The long sword passed close to the assassin, but the assassin calmly threw the dagger out and pulled the hidden trigger at the same time.
Whoosh!
puff!
The short but sharp arrow of the crossbow on the left arm directly penetrated the neck of one attendant, while the dagger pierced the neck of another attendant.
The two robust attendants who had swung their swords just now fell to the ground clutching their throats.
The assassin stood up straight without haste, grabbed his dagger and pulled it out.
puff!
There was another spurt of blood.
The assassin flicked the blood off the dagger, facing the rushing soldiers, raised his left thumb, and slowly swiped across his throat.
then
boom!
Thick smoke filled the surroundings.
The rushing soldiers and people lining up were all shrouded in smoke.
"Quiet!"
"keep the order!"
cried the leader of the soldiers.
But it didn't work at all.
The blood and corpses terrified ordinary people.
Screaming in terror.
Panicked footsteps.
It directly plunged the gate of Eitandino into chaos.
Pohl stood where he was and didn't move.
Although such scenes are rare, they are definitely no strangers to him.
Blood and corpses are extremely familiar to players.
Except for rookies, every veteran knows what to do when encountering such a thing in the dungeon world: maintain a move that conforms to his identity.
Don't try to change anything.
Because, not in time.
Because that would only make everything worse.
Therefore, he was not surprised that Qin Ran remained silent.
You know, this is Fort Eitantino!
Eitantinople with God of War and Lady Calamity!
Even the 'flame demon' can't be unscrupulous.
However, Bohr was obviously paying more attention to the corpse.
"Hope that guy isn't who I thought he was."
Pole prayed in a low voice.
"Between the good and the bad, the bad tends to be much more likely to happen."
Qin Ran replied.
Boer looked helpless. He also knew that the rich middle-aged man was very likely to be the legendary businessman Kate Hall, but he still had a little luck in his heart.
But as the smoke dissipated, and after Aite, the temporary head of the caravan, rushed towards the corpse in horror and bewilderment, Bohr showed a wry smile.
Ruined.
His most direct and simplest 'loan' channel is gone.
And, it's not the worst.
Worst of all, with the death of Kate Hall, the legendary businessman, more soldiers appeared at the city gates, and all those at the city gates were subject to censorship.
Especially the 'outsider' is the top priority.
Looking at the soldiers who surrounded the caravan with their swords out of their sheaths and their matchlock guns held high, Bohr cooperatively raised his hands up, signaling that he was not threatening.
And Qin Ran sat back in the carriage long before this moment.
Soldiers just control the scene.
The real interrogators will not be these people.
Rather than wasting time with the soldiers below, it would be better to drink some tea and eat some snacks.
Light tea fragrance.
Dim sum slightly sweet.
Although it is not as crispy as the original baked, it still has a different taste.
It was a sense of precipitation of time.
Qin Ran was sure that if it was left for a few more days, blue-green spots would definitely appear.
Thankfully, it is not yet possible to import.
Standing under the carriage, Boer, with his hands raised high, clearly heard the sound of Kieran chewing his snacks and swallowing his tea. Feeling the cold wind blowing against his face, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.
"Uh, uh, can I go up and get a coat?"
Pol asked the surrounding soldiers.
The soldier responded by aiming the muzzle of his arquebus at Ball's forehead.
"Okay, okay."
"I see."
Ball stood still for a moment.
But his eyes are looking around.
The other people who lined up to enter the city were controlled by a group of soldiers on the other side, and several people in uniforms were checking the identity certificates of these people one by one.
The same goes for caravans.
But the difference is that there are more soldiers here in the caravan, and they are all at war.
for what
Very simple, caravan guards.
The kind of robustness and carry-on weapons that are different from ordinary people make these soldiers feel like they are facing a big enemy.
However, Bohr shook his head secretly.
That assassin is definitely not here anymore.
He has full confidence.
The last smoke had already made the opponent disappear without a trace.
And that weighed heavily on Ball.
He wasn't worried about what the assassin did to him, he was worried about the guards, because judging from the assassination just now, everyone would agree that it was a well-planned assassination.
And the key point is: how Kate Hale appeared at the city gate.
So, how did Kate Hall come about
It was a letter from Aite.
Aite's message was again because of an accident in the caravan.
Among them, he and Qin Ran resolved the accident.
Of course, Kieran was the main one, and he was just a start.
Can…
Those interrogators don't think so.
He and Qin Ran must become the most important link.
Even if the two of them are truly innocent!
In order to suppress this assassination as soon as possible, those interrogators will never let go of any suspicious things. Even, if there are some despicable guys among the interrogators, it is not impossible to make some perjury in order to speed up.
Immediately, some interrogators wanted to be tortured and burned to ashes in Pohl's mind.
It is true that the 'flame demon' will restrain himself.
But it is absolutely not the character of the other party that he will never be bullied and swallow his anger.
"I've just arrived in Eitantinople, and I haven't completed the minimum main quest yet, so I'm about to face [M.] God of War and Lady Calamity?"
"Although I am determined to overfulfill the task, is this... too fast?"
"I'm not ready yet!"
The wry smile on the corner of Boer's mouth became more and more bitter.
Once Kieran makes a move, it is inevitable that he will face God of War and Ms. Calamity.
There is hardly any wiggle room.
Ball only hoped that this time would come later.
However, Pohl's hope didn't happen. A man in uniform walked straight towards here after questioning Aite who was knelt next to Kate Hale's body.
On the other hand, he looked young, with a hooked nose, like the beak of a falcon, sharp eyes, more like a resurrected eagle, long golden hair falling down his shoulders, and a small silver epaulette printed on it.
This represents the identity of the opponent: knight.
Although it is not at the level of a knight leader, it is far superior to ordinary soldiers, soldier captains and the like.
Almost as good as a second-in-command to an infantry regiment.
Considering the other party's age and some small details when walking, Bohr decided whether the other party was a young man born in a noble family, or a great nobleman with a long history.
Otherwise, it is impossible for a young man to obtain his current status.
And the great aristocrats with a long history have one advantage: self-cultivation and calmness.
The other party walked in front of Boer, and his sharp eyes had scanned Boer countless times, so he said simply: "Koel Wharton."
The other party reported himself.
Wharton
This surname immediately reminded Bohr of the financial adjutant of Eitantinople, the Marquis of Wharton.
A nobleman with a good reputation.
And the inheritance remains.
According to the rumors, the Marquis was also blond.
Looking at the appearance of the young man in front of him, Bohr bowed slightly to show his courtesy.
"Poll."
"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Kool Wharton."
"If you have any questions, please tell me directly, I will never hide anything."
Bohr replied as he would be a businessman.
"Can you tell me what happened to you when you were attacked?"
Cole Wharton asked.
"certainly."
Bohr nodded immediately, and told a complete story of what happened. At the end, Bohr added: "We came to Altantino in a hurry because of something, and there are many people behind us. Had the same experience as us."
After hearing Pohl's supplement, Cole Wharton nodded noncommittally.
The young nobleman certainly understood what Pohl meant.
After all, Pohl accentuated the pronunciation of 'something' and 'haste'.
However, the young nobleman had no intention of letting go.
It's not that he didn't believe Bohr's words. He had been observing Bohr when he was describing it just now, and he could be sure that Bohr was not lying.
And, Ait said the same thing as Pol.
He didn't know much about Bohr, but Aite did, which allowed the young nobleman to preliminarily confirm that Bohr wasn't lying.
but…
At this moment, he no longer pays attention to the truth.
Instead, he has a strong interest in people who can solve evil.
Cole Wharton unconsciously looked at the carriage.
"Is that Colin in there?"
Cole Wharton asked.
"exist."
Bohr didn't deny it, but he lamented in his heart.
really!
Immediately, I will challenge the hell mode!
As a former veteran, Bohr is aware of some rules of the 'Dungeon World'.
When you choose, make, and complete the difficulty beyond the existing main line tasks, the main line tasks will change accordingly, and the corresponding evaluation and benefits will be increased.
Bohr would never object to this.
but…
Can it be done step by step
Let me finish the minimum mainline task that I have formulated first!
Let me get used to it!
After receiving Pole's affirmative answer, Cole Wharton ignored Pole any more. He raised his hand and grabbed for the car door, intending to yank it open.
However, the education he received from childhood made him stop the moment he opened the car door.
He let go of his hand and it became a tap.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Come in."
After Qin Ran's voice sounded, the young noble didn't hesitate any longer, he opened the car door, boarded the car, and closed the car door casually.
After gesturing with his eyes, the young nobleman sat on Boer's seat and began to look at Qin Ran with his sharp eyes.
Black coat, pants and boots of the same color.
A coat made of wool hangs on one side.
The face is ordinary, young but mature, half leaning on the cushion, a little lazy, casual and indifferent eyes, slender palms, but no calluses can be seen.
but…
The inexplicable heart palpitations continued to emerge.
It's like looking at a lazy tiger crawling there.
No!
Not even a tiger would let me do this.
Only in front of... those congressmen did I feel that way.
Don't wake him up!
Never wake him up!
A voice in his heart told him so.
And Cole Wharton is definitely not some young man who doesn't know what to do or what to do.
Therefore, he paused, hiding the words he had planned in his heart. He restrained his sharp gaze, and asked in a gentle tone, "Excuse me, is this Your Excellency Colin?"
"Yes."
Qin Ran nodded.
"Cool Wharton."
The young nobleman introduced himself again, and then directly extended his right hand.
After confirming that the other party didn't have any malicious intentions or hidden traps, Qin Ran's upbringing made him stretch out his hand.
After the two sides shook hands slightly, they let go.
Qin Ran leaned back on the cushion again.
Cole Wharton recalled the feeling just now.
As seen, no calluses.
But it has a different sense of power.
Should be able to crush steel.
The young aristocrat who came to such a conclusion had a spring-like smile on his face.
"Your Excellency Colin, why did you come to Eitendinople?"
asked the other party.
"Because of Pol's invitation."
"I rescued Boer on the way, and then he invited me to be his bodyguard and escort him to Fort Atendino."
Qin Ran said half truth and half lie.
This is also a set of words that he and Bohr have already agreed upon.
"Oh, I see."
"It must have been an uneven journey. I asked His Excellency Boer before. Those evils are not easy to deal with, right?"
The young nobleman knocked around.
"fine."
"They hide in the dark."
"But if you find a weakness, it's not difficult."
Qin Ran replied.
This time it's completely real.
Although the world in front of me is special, there are still laws to speak of.
Those evil spirits are no exception.
As long as you find the law of those evils, it's really not difficult to kill those evils, especially those who haven't even completed the 'advent'.
If you are facing someone who has just been 'born', as long as you have enough willpower, a matchlock gun is enough.
"That's for a... person like you, too."
"What do you think about the assassination just now?"
The young nobleman paused, concealed what he originally wanted to say, and began to change the subject.
"No."
Qin Ran said truthfully.
The young noble was taken aback.
Although it has restrained a lot, it can tell that Qin Ran really doesn't care about these things.
After a little hesitation in his heart, the young nobleman asked tentatively.
"That… "
"What do you think of the new 'statute'?"
"Use a Kimpton to buy a decree for a knighthood."
The young nobleman lowered his voice unconsciously.
"No."
Qin Ran shook his head again.
That's something Pol needs to relate to.
not him.
Looking at Qin Ran, the young noble was puzzled.
Am I guessing wrong
The young nobleman began to doubt his deduction, but he didn't show it, but took out a small bag of candy from his pocket and put it on the table.
"I see that you seem to like dim sum."
"I've bothered you for a long time, these are my thanks."
"They are boutique products from 'Snow Candy House'. I like to eat them very much. I always carry some with me. Of course, this bag is new and I haven't opened it."
said the young nobleman.
"Thanks."
Qin Ran thanked softly.
Then, he pointed to the outside of the compartment.
whispered
"careful."
