"This, this is the reward, the reward."
Esfini stammered, and then, the lady reacted immediately, and immediately emphasized: "I didn't force him, he gave it to me on his own initiative."
However, such an emphasis is obviously counterproductive.
The coldness in Qin Ran's eyes was rapidly intensifying.
Sensing the change in Qin Ran's eyes, Esfini almost burst into tears.
She never thought that the friend of that little sheep guy would be a lone wolf.
Sheep and wolves are obviously two species, why can they be together
Fortunately, she thought that she would meet another fat sheep, and she could make a good slaughter of it.
Esfini yelled loudly while scolding herself for being greedy from the bottom of her heart.
"I swear by my last name."
"Everything I say is true!"
The words are loud and the voice is also sonorous and powerful.
but…
Qin Ran wouldn't believe a word of it.
Because, he knows Mimosa's character very well.
With Mimosa's character, I am more aware of what kind of situation I would get into if I made any deal with the other party under the embarrassing situation at that time.
'blackmail'!
Or, to be more precise, a one-sided, easy 'robbery'.
Mimosa can't do anything except being unable to refute a sentence or two.
He didn't even dare to refute, at most he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
Kieran never doubted that Mimosa would do this.
Just as he would not suspect the greed under the appearance of the woman in front of him.
That kind of empathy that almost aroused the praise of the original sin's "greed" made Kieran already have a deep enough understanding of the other party.
call!
A scorching flame bloomed on Kieran's left hand.
When all the people in the security station saw the flame in Qin Ran's palm, their expressions changed one after another, with different expressions.
Old Piccolo and Seyel simply thought of some rumors, and their faces became more and more awe-inspiring.
Snark, Blue, and Wylie, who had already recognized Qin Ran's identity, had memories on their faces.
Estefanie is much simpler.
fear.
Fear in its purest form.
Rumors about the Burning Family came to mind one by one.
Then, Esfini's already intelligent brain began to spin at a speed far exceeding the usual speed.
She recalled the scenes after she appeared.
And, quickly grasped the key points.
"My lord, please let me go!"
"I will help you find Lord Steinbeck!"
"After all, I'm the only one here who's seen him!"
Esfini said in a continuous manner.
She swears it's the fastest she's ever spoken since she was born.
After the words came out, Estifani closed her eyes, as if she didn't dare to see the final result.
For three or four seconds, Estifani, who didn't feel the burning or pain, opened her eyes, not both eyes, but the left eye opened a crack first.
After realizing that the flame in Kieran's hand had disappeared, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
survived!
But before Esfini was really thankful, a sense of powerlessness spread from all over her body, causing her to fall to the ground.
It wasn't until this moment that Estifani realized that she was not only weak, but also that her carefully prepared clothes had already been wet by cold sweat.
call.
A gust of night wind blows.
Esfini shuddered.
But this kind of coldness pales in comparison to Qin Ran's eyes.
When she realized that Qin Ran was staring at her, Esfini immediately stopped trembling, and said in as gentle and gentle a tone as possible: "I met Steinbeck in a small alley in Dawn City, he met He was in trouble, but someone was secretly protecting him."
"That person is very powerful. I don't know the identity of the other party. Steinbeck also noticed that person and was very wary of that person. He even used some props to divert that person's attention when he was trading with me."
"The man was cheated, but he didn't get angry. He just warned me not to talk about Steinbeck at will, and Steinbeck who was taken away didn't resist."
"I infer that person should be Steinbeck's bodyguard, and Steinbeck should come from a big family, but... it feels a little different, it's weird anyway."
Without Kieran's urging, Esfini talked about her encounter with Steinbeck.
She now fully understands that if she wants to save her life, she can only use Steinbeck as a 'protective umbrella'.
"My lord, please rest assured."
"I remember the appearance of that person, and with my power in Dawn City, I will easily find that person, and then follow the trend to find His Excellency Steinbeck."
Esfini said, carefully raised her head and looked at Qin Ran.
When she saw the coldness in Qin Ran's eyes dissipate, Esfini let go of the heart she had been holding all along, and she immediately said, "My lord, I will set off immediately to find the whereabouts of Lord Steinbeck for you." .”
After speaking, Estifani moved towards the gate of the security station.
Qin Ran didn't make a sound, let alone stop him, just looked at him like this.
Sweat oozes from Esfini's forehead.
After a while, it was densely packed.
Then Esfini came back.
"My lord, I thought about it, and I think it's better to follow your instructions to find Lord Steinbeck."
Esfini said so.
Qin Ran glanced at the low-browed Esfini, walked straight to the door, and brought back Esfini's companion who was knocked unconscious by him.
After throwing it in front of Esfini, Kieran looked at Snark, Blue, and Wylie.
no words.
But just Qin Ran's eyes made the slightly relaxed atmosphere become dignified again.
Snark racked his brains to think of words that could persuade Kieran.
But before the dual swordsman thought about it, his two companions spoke again.
"'Sharpshooter' died under the bow and arrow, no complaints or regrets!"
"Fight me again!"
"Being able to die under such a secret technique has no regrets!"
"I also hope to have a duel with you!"
Bruce and Wylie shouted almost in no particular order.
Similar remarks made the two startled. After subconsciously looking at each other, they both saw an inexplicably familiar look on each other's faces.
As if they were meeting for the first time, the two smiled at the same time.
And Snark covered his face, groaning in pain as he kept banging his head against the wall.
"At this time, what kind of tacit understanding do you two have?"
"Don't you know that this will kill people!"
"Do the dead understand?"
"A person can only live once, and if he dies, everything will be over!"
An almost growling sound burst from Snark's mouth.
"Then why are you willing to die for us?"
Bruce asked.
"Yeah, you are willing to die for us, why can't we give you a way to live?"
Wylie sighed.
Snark was taken aback.
"You, you..."
"Because, I made this up, so I'm naturally responsible."
The double swordsman stammered and explained.
But Bruce and Wylie didn't listen at all.
The two had already looked at Qin Ran again.
"It's an honor to die under the arrow of the 'Sharp Shooter'."
"It is also a great honor to die under unknown techniques."
"asshole!"
"Can you listen to me?!"
Snark, who was a little touched just now, looked at the appearance of his two companions, and couldn't help shouting frantically.
This time the roar was completely roaring.
The roof of the security station was shaken down with a layer of dust.
Dust settled in the nose of the comatose Esfini companion, and the tall, muscular man sneezed straight away.
"Ah Choo!"
"It's you!"
"Tell you, with me here, I will not let you hurt the special envoy!"
The man woke up with a sneeze, and saw Qin Ran as soon as he opened his eyes. The other party immediately stood up and stood in front of Esfini, speaking word by word.
"special envoy?!"
Immediately, everyone was attracted by this word.
Qin Ran squinted his eyes and began to look at Esfini again.
"That's right!"
"Lord Esfini is a special envoy sent by the royal family to investigate the abnormality of the Burning Dawn!"
The man said in a triumphant tone.
Then, as if thinking of something, he said to everyone present in a serious tone: "This is a secret, you must keep it a secret."
Hello, hello!
Since it's a secret, don't say it so openly!
Everyone looked at the man like an idiot.
Qin Ran was no exception.
Moreover, it is still speculated whether the opponent's brain suffered some kind of damage because of the impact just now.
But then, Kieran immediately denied this.
"In order to keep you secret, I will tell you my name. My name is Laurie, and I am the most loyal servant of Lord Esfini."
"Okay, now that you know my name, you have promised to keep it a secret from me."
The tall man named Lauerli said.
Who promised you to keep it secret.
Obviously you are talking to yourself.
Old Piccolo, Seyle and Snark rolled their eyes in unison.
Qin Ran walked up to Esfini.
"Royal envoy?"
Qin Ran asked.
"Yes, yes... Misunderstanding!"
"I found an identity just for the sake of convenience, not because I wanted to take advantage of the strange situation of Burning Dawn to make a fortune."
"Well, I'm a liar."
"I hope to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune."
"But I have no malice towards you, please let me go."
Esfini subconsciously wanted to reveal her fabricated identity, but after meeting Qin Ran's gaze, she immediately told the truth.
Esfini lowered her voice, obviously not wanting the people around to hear her.
However, it was still heard by the people around.
Her servant Lauerli even turned his head away from the conversation with the rest of the people.
"Master Esfini, are you hiding your identity?"
"In the face of the enemy, you can hide yourself so calmly and say that you are a liar!"
"Sure enough, it's Lady Esfini."
"You are truly someone worthy of my life's pursuit!"
Lauerli covered his mouth, tears and snot flowing down his nose.
How could he justify himself like this!
Is this guy really an idiot? !
Old Piccolo, Seyel and Snark were all speechless.
"How much do you know about the Burning Dawn?"
Kieran ignored people like Lauerli and went straight to Esfini's question.
"Not much."
"However, the Dawn City did send a special envoy from the royal family to investigate the attack on the Burning Dawn near the High Road."
Esfini, who had long been accustomed to who Lauerli was, kept her eyes fixed on her.
In fact, if it wasn't for Lauerli's poor brain and good strength, how could Esfini bring her to the vicinity of the Supreme Road.
"The attack on Burning Dawn has drawn the attention of Dawn Capital..."
"And the mimosa is in Dawn!"
"Double line?"
"So… "
"Where is the most important thing?"
"Near the Highway?"
"Or the capital of dawn?"
Qin Ran sat in the chair, tapping on the armrest of the chair with his fingers.
The information in front of him is not enough to piece together a complete jigsaw puzzle, but the existing jigsaw puzzle coincides with Qin Ran's previous guess secretly.
Judging from the information that Mimosa holds the main volume of the dungeon, City of Dawn may be more important.
But with the 'broker' spoiling the situation, this inference may not be correct.
Moreover, Qin Ran guessed that maybe it was the 'broker' who made the mission what it is now.
After looking at Mimosa's letter again, Kieran made a final decision.
He looked at Esfini again.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Estefani asked immediately.
"Take your servant and continue to the Burning Dawn's residence. Help me find out the news. I will give you 3 days. No matter what news you find within 3 days, you must return to the town of Crushed Rock and tell me everything."
"There are three of you!"
"I will give you another chance to challenge fairly. If you win, I will let you go. If you lose, I will need you to serve as my subordinates for three months!"
"It only takes three months. After three months, I will give you freedom and will not restrict you in any way."
Qin Ran glanced at everyone in the room except old Bick and Seyle, and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Can."
Snark, Blue, and Wylie nodded in unison.
As for Esfini
In Kieran's eyes, the other party has no right to refuse.
A contract was signed.
Estefani hurried away with her servants.
Snark, Blue, and Wylie stood behind Kieran with bruised noses and swollen faces.
Challenge you say
It was over within seconds of signing the deed.
Facing the serious Kieran, the three of Snark were even worse than last time, they were knocked down without even reacting.
"My lord, I am willing to swear allegiance to you!"
Old Piccolo and Seyel shouted in unison when they saw the three Snarks who escaped unharmed.
The real hope of surviving has appeared, and people like Old Piccolo and Seyel are not willing to give up, and they have to get it first.
No one wants to be the passive one.
"Not only do I know a hidden stronghold of that guy, but I also know that the relationship between a person and that guy is extraordinary!"
Old Bick looked first and said.
"My lord, besides bringing you a considerable amount of wealth, I can also find at least fifty first-class war horses for you!"
Seil said unwillingly.
Old Piccolo and Seyel scrambled to show their own value.
Qin Ran just sat like this, as if he couldn't hear anything.
Because, he knew very well that silence would definitely bring him greater benefits.
