The patrols in Eitandinople came much faster than expected.
In just three minutes, a group of heavily armed soldiers appeared in people's field of vision.
The leading soldier sped up his speed even more after seeing Coul Vorton. While the other party instructed his subordinates to protect the scene, he quickly walked in front of Coul Vorton.
"Wharton Knight, are you alright?"
The other party asked respectfully.
But there is more fear in the words.
Because, the soldier captain knew very well what the young noble in front of him represented.
The opponent's background is enough to gain the respect of everyone present, and the opponent's status as a knight makes the opponent even more extraordinary.
When the two are added together
Naturally, it is 11>2.
If the young nobleman in front of him really wants to do something, not only him, but even his immediate boss, and even his boss's boss, will be too busy to walk around.
Fortunately, Coul Wharton didn't have any intention of embarrassing the other party.
"Help me find her parents."
"Also, dig that guy out."
After saying this, Coul Walton smiled at the little girl, waved his hand slightly, and walked towards Qin Ran.
"Thanks."
"You saved me again!"
Coul Walton walked to Kieran's side and said in a low voice.
"I just thank you for the afternoon tea."
Qin Ran told the truth.
When he realized something was wrong in the carriage, most of the reasons why he chose to make a move were because of the sumptuous afternoon tea and dinner party that he was looking forward to.
For a person who is not too bad and willing to provide him with food, Kieran doesn't mind giving him a hand when he is in danger.
Facing Kieran's answer, Kool Wharton, who once again felt his 'life is cheap', couldn't help but wryly smiled.
"Although I know that you may not care, Colin, I think I owe you a big favor."
"Today's dinner itself was held to repay your favor, but now I owe you another one."
"I think I need to prepare better food to repay you."
In order to make himself more valuable, he decided to treat Qin Ran to another real feast.
Qin Ran did not refuse.
Although in his heart, he knew that no matter how prepared the other party was, he would not be able to reach the level of Mimosa, but in the days when Mimosa was not around, he could only settle for the next best thing.
I really want mimosa.
Qin Ran sighed silently.
But on the surface, it still looks slightly indifferent.
After an afternoon of getting along, Coul Walton was already used to Kieran's appearance.
Coupled with preconceived information, he was not surprised at all.
Then, the eyes of the two looked at the excavated 'Assassin' together.
This is a man dressed in ordinary clothes, with the characteristics of tall and strong people from the Northland, but his face has become ferocious and fierce because of the squeeze of Qin Ran's foot.
However, the general appearance can still be clearly distinguished.
Crouching on the ground, looking at this strange face, Kool Wharton frowned.
It wasn't the assassin he had contacted before.
is a new assassin.
This is not good news for him.
Because, this represents the strength of the other party, far exceeding his expectations.
Calmly, Coulverton stood up and waved at the soldier captain.
"Take him back to the city guard, and someone will check the body later."
Cole Walton said.
"Okay, Wharton Knight."
The soldier captain saluted and directed half of the soldiers to leave quickly with the corpse.
As for the remaining half
Then began to interrogate the surrounding civilians.
Although the soldier captain thinks it doesn't make much sense to do so.
However, the process still has to go.
Coul Walton and Kieran walked towards the carriage side by side.
However, before pedaling, the young nobleman bowed apologetically to those who were interrogated around him.
No more explanation.
That alone is enough.
In fact, compared to other nobles, Coulvorton, who can see commoners equally, can already be regarded as an outlier.
Change to other nobles
At this time, I am afraid that I will leave with a frosty face and very unhappy.
If this is not Atendino
There will definitely be some grumpy aristocrats who will take out the common people around them.
The carriage drove away slowly under the driver's flick of the reins.
However, whether it was the attendant or the driver, at this time, they all held the long sword in their hands.
Obviously, the scene just now stimulated these two followers.
They were afraid that there would be another accident.
Therefore, the carriage headed straight for the mansion of the Marquis of Wharton.
People along the way, seeing the two nervous attendants and the family emblem on the carriage, wisely got out of the way.
Coulvorton, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the civilians who were dodging outside the carriage, and couldn't help but patted the fender behind him. His education and the knight's creed he believed in made him unable to ignore these.
When he felt that the speed of the carriage had slowed down significantly, Coul Walton turned around and looked at Kieran who was opposite him.
"terribly sorry."
"I might get you into some trouble."
"However, don't worry, I will solve all this as soon as possible."
The young noble said to Qin Ran very sincerely.
"I said, thank you for your afternoon tea."
Qin Ran repeated.
"Different!"
"Colin you don't get my point, I mean..."
The young nobleman opened his mouth to explain, but when he thought of something, hesitation appeared on his face, but soon, such hesitation was replaced by firmness.
"Colin you saved me twice."
"So, I don't need to hide some things from you anymore."
"What do you think of His Majesty's 'new decree'?"
asked the young nobleman.
Qin Ran thought of the words of Old Hank at the 'Carrot' Inn
'You ask me what I think of the 'New Order'? '
'What can I say? '
'I can't afford it again. '
…
Although the words are rough, the words are not rough.
Therefore, Qin Ran relayed the meaning of the other party.
"Not relevant to most people."
Qin Ran replied.
"Yeah, it has nothing to do with most people."
"However, it is closely related to me, or people of my origin."
"After all, it represents the nobles' 'greatest glory': the land!"
"Therefore, people like us were split into two factions in an instant, some were in favor of such a 'new decree', and some were against such a 'new decree'."
"My father is a staunch supporter of His Majesty."
"so… "
Before he could finish speaking, Coul Walton showed a wry smile.
Everything becomes clear.
For that Altantin VI, the opposing nobles dare not say anything, at least they dare not do anything publicly, but for the supporters of Altantin VI, these nobles are not so polite.
Assassination is the last and worst choice for nobles.
Because, that would break the rules.
but…
At a certain point, it also represented an attitude: the bottom line they insisted on should not be touched, otherwise they would die.
"This is not the first time I have been assassinated."
"In the past few months, I have encountered three times... No, counting the one just now, it is already the fourth time."
"The first two times were all trying to scare me, but the third and fourth times the opponent was obviously serious, even though they didn't choose my father, but me."
"But it still represents their determination."
"And for those who stop them, they will never let go."
"Maybe, Colin, you don't care about this, but no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when they doze off. Can you guarantee that you will not rest for 24 hours and keep your eyes open?"
"For your safety, I hope to invite you to temporarily live in the Marquis's mansion."
"Or, I can send you two guards."
"Don't worry, they have enough vigilance and superb swordsmanship."
Seeing Qin Ran's still indifferent appearance, Coul Walton increased his tone and gave a proper solution.
"terribly sorry."
"I'm used to being alone."
Coul Walton was very sincere, but Kieran didn't accept it.
First, as he said, he was used to being alone.
Secondly, he has too many secrets that he cannot let others know.
Mimosa
That's the exception.
"I have my own way of dealing with this."
"Otherwise, I would have died long ago."
"You know, I often have to face something."
Seeing Coul Walton who was still about to say something, Kieran spoke first.
Moreover, alluding to his identity as a 'snake demon hunter'.
Kieran didn't hide too much about his identity as a snake demon hunter.
To put it simply, it is roughly the extent to which ordinary people do not know, but those who want to know can always know.
The Coul Walton in front of him is obviously the latter.
Likewise, the nobles who opposed the 'new decree'.
Therefore, Kieran was quite sure that those nobles would not provoke a demon hunter casually, especially if this demon hunter was from the 'Snake Sect' who was walking with the shadows.
Of course, there is no guarantee that there will not be some tentative contacts.
Qin Ran didn't care about this.
Even, it is impossible.
Only if his identity as a 'snake demon hunter' is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, some other identities will be safer.
For example…
'Mist'!
No one would think that the two are the same person.
Everyone will think that 'Snake School' and 'Mist' are just partnerships.
It's like 'Secret Order of the Night' and 'Ms. Calamity'.
Kieran needed such an 'impression'.
Because, he doesn't want to be investigated back and forth.
Although he thought it was well done and concealed enough, there were still some things that could not be investigated, especially under the premise that the "God of War" and "Ms. Calamity" might intervene.
So, something has to be sped up.
Just right, this moment is a good opportunity!
Thinking of this, Qin Ran gave a new order to the higher evil spirit.
And Coul Walton, who was sitting across from Qin Ran, didn't know anything about it.
At this moment, the young nobleman was ashamed.
"Sorry, Colin."
"At that time, I read the materials sent back from Xika City just out of curiosity."
"Trust me, I have no malice."
The young noble hurriedly explained.
Qin Ran nodded slightly.
Judging from his breathing and heartbeat, he believed what the other party said.
As for more
Then there is time to decide.
After watching Qin Ran nod, Coul Walton couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to lose a friend because of an unconscious inspection.
After all, there are very few friends who agree with his philosophy of 'life is too bitter and needs a little sweetness'.
It can even be said to be unique.
Nature is to be cherished.
…
And looking at the five members of the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night' who bowed their heads and ears to him, the high-ranking evil spirits cherished it incomparably.
Perhaps, in normal times, there are not a few people who can be easily 'brainwashed' by it.
However, this time is different.
time!
Time is running out!
The order from the boss just now made it very clear to the upper evil spirit that the five people in front of them are like 'fire seeds'!
It is necessary to become the kind of 'fire' that can start a prairie fire!
Two of them were the first to 'arrest' it, and the three next to it were friends of the two. Under its persuasion, they turned to the light and joined the team of justice.
Use to perceive the minds and emotions of five people.
The higher-level evil spirits were able to clearly confirm it, but it was still a little bit short.
Five people, and some are uneasy.
Therefore, it stood up and looked at the five people in front of it.
Following the action of the higher evil spirit, the gazes of the five people all looked over.
"You are worried."
"Even scared."
The voice of the high-level evil spirit made the five people lower their heads, not daring to look at the high-level evil spirit again.
He took a slight breath.
The upper evil spirit suddenly shouted loudly.
"Looked up!"
Subconsciously, the five people raised their heads while shouting loudly.
They looked at the high-ranking evil spirit at this moment.
No anger imagined.
There is no contempt as imagined.
There is only gentleness and approval.
The higher level evil spirits know very well that there are two kinds of people in this world, one kind lives for themselves, appears tough on the outside, but is extremely fragile inside, while the other kind lives for others, looks weak on the outside, but Hard as a shield inside.
This kind of person is truly strong.
Many times, people will be called: heroes!
The fact that the five people in front of me can come here is enough to prove that they have the potential of the latter.
Now, they only need to throw a little spark to ignite the burning in their hearts.
Therefore, the superior evil spirit said word by word
"It's nothing to be ashamed of, because I... too."
"I'm worried too, and I'm scared too."
"After all, we are facing such a terrible enemy."
"Death may even come at any time."
"Can… "
"We don't have a choice."
"Our friends, our loved ones need us to protect them, they are all in 'Quiet Night', they don't even know what happened, but I wish they didn't know anything."
"Because I am willing to bear everything for them."
"I wish them a happy life."
"I am willing to carry the burden forward for them."
"Guys, I can't make any more promises."
"Because, I don't know if I can survive."
"But if I survive, I will do my best to protect you, as my comrades-in-arms, companions, your friends and relatives, and treat them as my own friends and relatives."
"I swear!"
