The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1802: before sunset

Views:

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the whole of Atendino was warm.

Only at this time will people in Hokuriku take off their thick scarves and feel the wind.

Of course, even in the city, if it is in the wilderness, the wind at this time will still make people feel uncomfortable.

Pole opened the window for air.

Putting on a costume - this is what he prepared for himself in advance. It fits well and is decent. It will never lose face, and it will not look ostentatious. In order to complete the main task, no amount of preparation in advance can be overstated.

The bodyguard Ash at the side also changed his clothes.

It is Hokuriku traditional knight uniform.

Keep it simple.

The hanging buckle at the waist can carry long swords and short swords, and there are also hanging buckles for heavy swords and other weapons on the back.

However, Ash's ax and spear are a bit too heavy.

These hanging buckles are completely useless, they can only be carried in the hand.

Moreover, the knight uniform made him breathless, and the subconscious bodyguard pulled at the neckline.

"Ash!"

Ball shouted directly before his bodyguard raised his hand.

Looking at the innocent-looking bodyguard, Bohr had to explain again.

"We are going to the king's banquet!"

"The meter is a very important level!"

"It's very important to me, I don't allow any mistakes, understand?"

In the last emphasized tone, Bohr has become extremely serious.

"OK."

Facing such a serious employer, Ash scratched his head and finally agreed.

Pohl heaved a sigh of relief, and lightly patted his bodyguard on the shoulder.

He didn't want that either.

But just as he said, this banquet is really extremely important to him.

It is not only related to the success or failure of this main mission, but also related to his future development.

He no longer wants to encounter the powerless things he did before.

This time, 2567 and Lawless help him.

That's luck.

Really lucky.

He was so grateful.

But next time

Will he have such luck next time

The answer is obvious.

Therefore, he needs strength.

But if you need strength, you have to complete the main task of this dungeon world well.

call!

Bohr took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.

He knew that he was under too much pressure and lost his composure.

Can…

It's a matter of life and death, who can truly remain indifferent.

Sitting there, Boer subconsciously looked at Kieran who squinted his eyes silently, as if he was asleep.

"I'm afraid this is the only one."

Pohl sighed inwardly.

The more contact, the deeper his feelings.

In the beginning, he thought that he had distanced himself from the other party just because of the 'witch', but now, he didn't think so.

Because, he knows very well that even if he puts himself on the same starting line as the opponent, he is far behind the opponent.

Not to mention anything else, he can't think calmly at any time.

Especially in that kind of continuous, high-intensity dungeon world!

"How many consecutive copies is this of the other party?"

"The third? Or the fourth?"

Pole guessed.

As a former veteran, in order to live a better life, Bohr did not choose the last time period to start the dungeon world, but chose a compromise method, starting after adequate rest and strengthening himself—huge urban rumor However, if you enter the dungeon world at the last time, you will encounter inexplicable effects.

Although no one has confirmed it, many people believe this.

Therefore, everyone chooses this way.

Few people will take the initiative to enter the dungeon world in advance, especially this kind of continuous entry into the dungeon world.

What is tested is not only a person's strength, but also mental and physical strength.

The intricate dungeon world and sometimes clueless main quests are all extremely exhausting.

Once was fine.

If it keeps coming...

I'm afraid it's over already.

Feeling aware again, Boer couldn't help sighing again, and sensing Boer's sight, Kieran opened his eyes and looked at Boer.

There was no question in the eyes, only indifference.

But this indifference made Bohr feel pressured.

He raised his hands in apology, and then laughed and cried.

"I'm just wondering if you're not tired?"

"Not physically."

"It's spiritual."

he asked.

"Thinking about good food can bring relief."

After thinking for a while, Qin Ran replied.

"A beautiful thing?"

"yes."

"It really does relieve fatigue."

Boer nodded, instinctively wanting to recall good things, but all he could think of was his humiliation and anger after being robbed by the 'witch'. Suddenly, Boer became short of breath.

Damn 'witch'!

He cursed inwardly.

Then, he raised his head and shrugged at Qin Ran.

"It seems that it is useless to me."

"I just feel like life is gray right now."

Paul laughed to himself.

"Think about lawlessness."

"He's still waiting for you to go back and buy a drink."

As an ally at this stage, Kieran reminded the other party.

He doesn't want his allies to have any problems with their mental state, especially in this world full of evil, if they are affected a little, it may affect the entire battle situation.

"Lawless?"

Thinking of the man who was oppressed in the Harvest Tavern, the corners of Boer's mouth could not help but curl up.

This time it's not self-deprecating, but a heartfelt laugh.

He didn't know how a person could have such a personality as lawlessness.

But he likes to be friends with people with that personality.

Or…

It's nice to have friends like that.

"I have to go back and buy him a drink."

"Within 10 points, let him choose."

Ball was vague again when he said '10 points'.

This is the habit of players.

"Then it's probably just ale or ordinary Adifi."

"You know, Rachel is not the usual black heart."

"Although the winemaking technology is really good."

Qin Ran stood up while talking, stretched his waist, and took off the coat hanging on the hanger behind the door of the room.

Pole turned to look out the window.

A group of carriages was slowly approaching under the escort of the guards. The eagle emblem representing the royal family on the carriage door bloomed its own golden color in the sunlight.

"My lord."

When Qin Ran came out of the 'Carrot' Hotel, the close minister who had carried the orders of Aitantine VI appeared again.

The other party was still wearing red loose clothes with gold trim, his face was still covered with powder, and even the smile he showed towards Qin Ran was completely flattering.

Naturally, yellow and black teeth are no exception.

"Um."

"I need to bring two followers."

Qin Ran pointed to Boer and Ash.

The two walked over immediately.

This was agreed before, and the two accompanied them as Qin Ran's followers.

For the two of them, this is the most appropriate status.

"Of course, it should."

"As a lord, you naturally have to bring your own entourage."

After the close minister finished speaking with a smile, he bowed to Boer and Ash without any scruples about their status as followers.

Maybe some aspects are not perfect, but as a close minister of the royal family, this person in front of him is absolutely perfect in terms of etiquette, there is no arrogance, and there will be no low-level mistakes.

For example: This time when I came to the 'Carrot' Hotel, although I only greeted Qin Ran alone, this close minister brought two carriages, obviously anticipating the situation at hand.

Walking to the side of the carriage, the close minister opened the door and bowed again.

"please."

Qin Ran stepped into the carriage and watched Boer and Ash board the next carriage before the courtier turned and walked towards the driver's front seat.

Following the order of the close minister, the royal carriage began to slowly drive into the Upper Seventh Ring Road.

This was not the first time Qin Ran had seen the upper seven rings of Fort Eitantino, but it was the first time he had really seen it in a more leisurely manner.

There are row upon row of buildings on one side of the road, each with a small garden and terrace.

And some buildings with signboards also set up flower gardens outside the garden.

From the outside, it looks colorful and attractive.

These are the shops on the Seventh Ring Road.

Qin Ran has paid attention to several of them.

Of course, it's not because they're pretty.

It's because the smell of food is nice.

After passing through the seventh bad, the carriage entered the upper sixth ring road.

The roads here are wider, and the residential areas are more restrained. Even the shops cannot be identified from the outside, and the windows are even covered by the ivy.

From the outside, it's hard to see much.

Privacy has always been requested by people, especially those with status.

After entering the upper fifth ring road, it completely turned into an aristocratic area.

People with various titles all live here.

According to the size of the house to determine the high and low status.

In the central position, there is a grand theater, where there will be opera performances during festivals.

Of course, there are other shows on weekdays—the tickets are even more expensive than opera performances, and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

Although there are noble mansions in the fourth and third rings, the real ones are mainly military camps.

The carriage turned into the barracks avenue and went up all the way.

In Qin Ran's vision, he immediately saw a building.

No, the palace.

but...

Temple of War!

There is no need to confirm anything, and there is no need to rely on the style of the building to confirm. In Qin Ran's [Tracking] field of vision, the aura of the 'God of War' is almost unstoppable.

full of anger.

And there is also a little bloody smell in it.

Obviously, from yesterday's 'mutation' to the 'shock' just now, this former Hokuriku god is furious.

"Even the avatar is affected?"

Qin Ran's focus was on the other side.

He thought about whether he could expand the results of tonight's battle.

As for the God of War body

Kieran raised his head and swept over with the [Tracking] field of vision.

In the sky above Eitantinople, two terrifying auras were confronting each other.

As he saw it for the first time.

But there are some differences.

The two terrifying breaths have become more 'smart'.

There is no doubt that the recent changes in Atendino have given these two existences other thoughts.

This is naturally good news for Qin Ran.

The water is not muddy enough, how can I catch fish

However, the degree still needs to be grasped.

After slightly changing his sitting position, Kieran tapped his hands on the table and began to think quietly.

The carriage continued on.

After passing through the corridor beside the Temple of War, they finally arrived at the palace.

The palace is not big, nor is it magnificent enough, except for the two teams of guards standing in front of the gate, it is impossible to tell that this is a palace.

In fact, from the perspective when they first arrived, everyone would see the Temple of War God at first sight, not the palace.

But at this time, the salutations blown by the two guards were deafening.

Qin Ran couldn't help smiling.

"Royal right? Divine right?"

He whispered to himself in his heart.

If he was a coward, he would naturally not mind the arrangement of the Temple of War, but if he was a king with great talent and strategy, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

Even if you can endure it for a while, it is impossible to endure it for a lifetime.

Such was the case with Aitantine VI.

The opponent's various strategies seem to be aimed at the conservative nobles, but in Kieran's view, they are aimed at the Temple of War God.

After all, almost all of the conservative nobles believed in the God of War.

For example…

The lord of Sika City.

That's right, it was the dead Viscount Sika.

Kieran participated in the other party's death, but in Kieran's view, it was the king's plan.

Just like last night's 'mutation'.

Whispers in the ear.

Evil can be seen everywhere.

besides…

'Black Disaster'!

Don't forget!

After the 'Black Calamity', evils have become more numerous!

Before the 'Black Calamity', although there were evils, they were only sporadic!

And more importantly—

Before the 'Black Calamity', the God of War family dominated!

Don't talk about 'Miss Calamity' anymore.

There is only one god in the entire Hokuriku!

But what about after the 'black disaster'

Not only the appearance of the "Miss Calamity", but also the "God of War" divided the beliefs of the entire Hokuriku into two, and the various evils made the Temple of the God of War exhausted.

In connection with the life and attitudes of the king, something becomes apparent.

Therefore, Kieran brought Boer with him.

He wanted to test the other party's role in the 'Black Calamity'.

He is a monarch who rose up to bear the last wish of his father who passed away unexpectedly.

He is also a hero who plays a disgraceful role for his own benefit.

For the former, Qin Ran had nothing to say.

the latter

He also won't do anything superfluous.

He's just acting in the Witcher style.

After all, the wolf faction demon hunters were almost wiped out in the 'Black Calamity'.

As a snake demon hunter, he believes that he needs to seek justice, and it would be even better if he discovered some 'secrets' during the process of seeking justice.

"Take the people of the world as 'chess'."

"And what could be better than 'The King'!"

"'Broker', are you right?"

While talking to himself from the bottom of his heart, the carriage door was pulled open by the close minister.

"We have arrived, my lord."

The minister said respectfully.

And when Qin Ran stepped out of the carriage—

Woo!

Woohoo!

A louder trumpet sounded from the trumpets of the guards standing in two rows.

Kieran was in the front, Boer and Ash were in the back, passing through the red and gold carpet among the guards.

In the palace, on a terrace.

Several figures stood there.

Among them, the young one stared at Qin Ran firmly, and he murmured.

"is it him?"

"it's him!"

The valet next to him said with certainty.

Immediately, the young man gritted his teeth fiercely, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames.
