Chapter 949 Clues

Hall's mummy was like an inflated balloon. Under Kieran's gaze, it quickly transformed from a semi-mummy corpse into a normal human being.

A breathing, ruddy-faced person.

"Damn the 'Burning Family', I must..."

Hall said these words while opening his eyes.

Then, Hall saw Kieran standing in front of him, looking down at him.

The threatening words stopped abruptly.

Qin Ran looked at Hall who was reborn from a corpse with a calm expression.

Everything in front of him was as he expected.

When Kieran saw the approaching bandits from Fire Crow's sight, things became obvious.

The secret room located inside the dwarf's wine cup and rice basin is the turnover station that provides supplies to the bandits.

Eddie Caravan does work that ordinary merchants would not do.

And Mayor Hall also joined in.

It was even the seemingly impartial mayor who instigated Eddie's caravan to complete it.

During this period, Sheriff Peters may have discovered clues, but Hall quickly silenced him and made it look like he died fighting the robbers.

Worried about being exposed, Hall also dealt with subsequent sheriffs in the same way.

Until he showed up.

In other words, it was because he happened to appear when the bandit group was about to massacre Gravel Town that the mayor became impatient and chose to take action that day.

As for why Hall wanted to kill the goose and seize the eggs, cooperate with the bandits and gangs to bloodbath Gravel Town?

It's not hard to guess either.

A soldier with a military career, but he did not have the opportunity to learn the abilities displayed by Hall in front of him.

And how can you not pay the price if you want to learn such abilities?

To put it simply, Hall is just a chess piece, the same essence as Eddie's caravan.

Do you think Hall is born with such ability?

That is impossible.

Although some people are born extraordinary because of their blood, Hall is definitely not, otherwise he would not have left Burning Dawn and returned to Gravel Town.

"Who is the person behind you?"

Kieran asked calmly.

"How did you know I would..."

"I won't tell you!"

"Even one word!"

"We will definitely take revenge on you!"

"Let you taste fear and despair!"

Hall was startled. It seemed that his brain had been damaged in some way after being reborn as a corpse, and he was a little unclear. He almost subconsciously asked a very stupid question.

However, as soon as the words came out, Hall himself reacted.

The mayor immediately roared in anger.

Facing such a roar, Qin Ran looked directly into the other person's eyes.

The angry Hall quickly calmed down.

His eyes changed from resistance to submission.

"Yes, my lord."

"I'll tell you everything you need to know."

Hall got up from the ground, knelt down on one knee and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mayor immediately knelt on the ground and kissed Kieran's boots.

Qin Ran, who already knew the effect of [Mesili's Ring], was not surprised and turned around and walked towards Gravel Town.

The closed door was immediately opened.

Everyone made way for the approaching Qin Ran, and at the same time stared at Kieran with dull eyes, and... Hall who walked behind Qin Ran with great respect.

what happened?

Everyone is asking themselves this.

Judging from the scene just now, Mayor Hall was inseparable from everything in front of him, but Hall's actions afterward puzzled everyone.

"Child of the Moon!"

"The son of the moon who controls people's hearts!"

Scattered mutterings like this kept ringing out from the crowd, making the people around them look frightened.

Son of the Moon is not a good word for people who make a living near the High Road.

While the moon has always been associated with romance, Moonchild is not.

Unless they want to seek death, no one wants to encounter a terrifying creature like the Moon Child.

Among the crowd, there were several people who were dressed similarly to the people around them, but with slightly different temperaments, and they also had solemn expressions.

However, it was not because of such scattered mutterings, but because of Hall's previous shouts.

"A member of the Burning Family?"

"His hair color and eye color are not red... he is the eldest son of the Burning Marquis!"

"Should I say that he is worthy of being talked about in the City of Dawn?"

After a few people looked at each other, they quickly disappeared into the crowd.

…

Somewhere in the shadows outside Gravel Town, a large carriage was hidden.

Standing beside the carriage, White witnessed everything that happened in Gravel Town from beginning to end.

From the headshot of nearly a hundred thieves to the transformation of Hall's surrender, the Burning Marquis' butler saw it, and a smile appeared on his serious and rigid face.

"It's just as the Marquis expected..."

"You've got everything ready."

"The burning flame is not afraid of the darkness."

“A burning will, without fear.”

"A burning heart is unafraid of despair."

"Please, take care of yourself."

The steward bowed in the direction of Gravel Town.

Then, no longer staying.

The large carriage drove out from the hiding place and headed towards the City of Dawn at a speed far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Under the moonlight, the flame emblem on the side of the carriage seemed like a real flame, not only jumping, but also burning. A head with two horns on its forehead loomed in the flames.

…

There were fewer and fewer eyes following Kieran, and when Kieran returned to the police station, the last line of sight disappeared.

Qin Ran was indifferent to this.

Kieran had always been like this when it came to looks that showed no malice or murderous intent.

Otherwise, with his keen perception blessed by the spiritual attributes of the 'Chosen One', he would become a suspicious lunatic in just a few days.

However, Kieran still remembered some of the things in his eyes before.

Because those eyes are stronger than those of ordinary people.

Powerful, always visible.

Sitting in the previous chair, Qin Ran looked at Hall in front of him.

There was no need for Kieran to say anything, Hall simply spoke.

"Sir, a person named 'Modi' has contacted me through a single line."

"He will give me some tasks and teach me some secret techniques as a reward."

"It started out as something inconsequential, but then it became unacceptable and I couldn't go back."

"From the moment I started using the other party's secret technique to treat my own hidden wounds, I couldn't look back."

Qin Ran nodded and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

The method of the man named 'Modi' is not unusual. It seems that in some gray area places, such things are not uncommon.

Give a little sweetness every time, including but not limited to money and women, and wait until the other party is in deep trouble and can't extricate himself, then kill him with a knife and bleed him violently.

"This time the opponent needs enough fresh lives to let me cooperate with those bandits to massacre the entire town!"

"That guy had this intention from the very beginning."

"And I had no idea."

Hall, who was controlled by the [Mesili Ring], completely broke free from the previous constraints, with a heavy look of guilt on his face.

"Do you know anything else about the man called 'Modi'?"

Qin Ran asked.

"The other party is very mysterious."

"Not only did he contact me through a single line every time, but he never actually met in person."

"I tried stalking each other, but failed every time. After being warned again, I gave up the idea completely."

"However, the other party seems to be very unfamiliar with the vicinity of the Supreme Road and will make some common sense mistakes."

Hall answered.

"strangeness?"

"Common sense mistake?"

Kieran narrowed his eyes.

He came up with a guess.
