The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1195 Remnants

An oil painting about half the height of a man hangs on the wall on one side of the room.

There are green lawns, white round tables and people gathering for dinner in the painting. Even Qin Ran, who has not received professional education, can see the happiness of the characters in the painting through the paintbrush.

Undoubtedly, this is a great painting.

"2567, what's wrong?"

Mary asked in a low voice.

"Change your father's room now."

Qin Ran said this and walked towards the painting.

Mary was a little confused, but according to Qin Ran's words, she summoned the palace maid and carried James VIII out of the room in front of her on a soft couch.

After doing all this, when the underage princess walked back here, Kieran had already taken the painting off the wall.

"Is there something wrong with this painting?"

The underage princess is not a fool, Qin Ran's behavior is enough to tell her everything.

"Um."

"It's poison."

Qin Ran nodded.

"impossible."

"There may not be anyone powerful enough to 'one man against an army' in the Warren Palace, but the experience accumulated over hundreds of years in the palace has already given it the most rigorous procedures, let alone poison, even if it is some unknown It is also impossible to pass the secret technique.”

Earl Shilin shook his head, with disbelief on his face.

"So, these guys did it in a very smart way."

Qin Ran turned over the painting. Behind the painting, there were some mildew spots all over the canvas.

"There is nothing wrong with the painting itself."

"But if it gets moldy, some of the pigments, especially Scheele's Green mixed with arsenic, will emit highly toxic substances like arsenic."

"do you think so?"

"Perikna."

Qin Ran said and looked outside the door.

Following these words, a figure walked out of the shadows.

"I didn't expect you to be so proficient in poisons."

Surprise flashed across the light gray eyes of Perikna, the female leader of the Snake Faction.

She wasn't surprised she was discovered.

She was surprised at how well Kieran knew about poisons.

You know, even she only reacted after smelling that special smell and her body felt slightly paralyzed, and Kieran?

Obviously, you just notice it when you smell it.

Although she was a little unconvinced, Perikna did not dwell on this matter. She glanced at Count Shirin, who was facing a formidable enemy, and smiled softly.

"I'm not the enemy."

"Look at Your Excellency 2567 and our princess, their reactions are normal."

Perikna said, looking past Count Shirin and towards Kieran.

"The person who placed this painting..."

"No, to be more precise, you caught the person who was spreading water behind the canvas?"

Qin Ran asked.

"No."

"Although I really wanted to hold some chips and discuss cooperation with you, that guy was killed when I arrived - a very professional technique, and no trace or smell was left."

"I have no choice, I have to appear in front of you."

As Perikna spoke, she took out the throwing knives, daggers, etc. on both sides of her waist and placed them at her feet to show that she was not in any danger.

"cooperate?"

"Our last collaboration was not pleasant."

Qin Ran said this.

"I can make it up to you."

"Do you want the secrets of the Snake Sect?"

"Or do you think my intact limbs are a hindrance? You can take some away as you like, even if you take them all, I don't mind."

"Or do you think my appearance makes you uncomfortable? You can scratch it as you like and I won't resist."

Perikna said calmly, as if she was not talking about herself at all, but someone else.

It's just the content of the words that makes people shudder.

The young earl frowned slightly. He didn't know what happened to make the other party make such a choice.

Also frowning was the underage princess. She saw some clues, but she didn't ask any more questions and left everything to Kieran.

"Including your life?"

Kieran's tone was more calm and indifferent than Perikna, which made the female leader of the Snake Faction tremble. However, when she thought of the current situation, the female leader who had no choice nodded.

"Can."

"As long as you...regardless of whether you are willing to cooperate or not, when I appear in front of you, I am determined to die."

"Some bastards from the Snake Faction, guys that I thought were dead but actually were still alive showed up and they attacked us."

"No one escaped alive except me."

The female leader of the Snake Sect quickly retracted her original words and spoke with a lower posture and faster speed.

"The remaining snake sect?"

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

Of course it's not because of Perikna's words, but because——

Side mission!

The moment the other party spoke, the system prompt appeared.

[Trigger side mission: Remaining Snake Faction]

[Remaining Snake Sect: The sect that was supposed to be destroyed by Holly not only left the Perikna branch, but also an unknown branch appeared, and their appearance brought unexpected destruction to the Perikna branch. and death, facing the help of the female leader of the Snake Faction, your decision will become particularly important...]

The emergence of side missions determined that Qin Ran would not give up casually.

He studied Perikna.

That look made the female leader of the Snake Faction feel palpitated, but she didn't tremble anymore.

People who are not even afraid of death.

What are you afraid of?

With a calm look, Perikna responded to Kieran.

Then, Qin Ran walked out.

Of course, he would not believe the other party's words. Even if the side mission showed that the other party did not lie, who knew whether the other party was hiding something?

Fortunately, he has no shortage of such people.

Qin Ran, who had the same vision as Huo Ya, saw the two people appearing outside the palace.

"We have guests coming."

"Count Shilin, I hope you will say hello for me first."

Qin Ran said this.

"OK."

"What about you?"

The young earl nodded and asked curiously.

"Look at that guy who was silenced."

Qin Ran answered, then turned to Perikna and said, "Lead the way."

Faced with such an order, the female leader of the Snake Faction did not feel the slightest resentment.

Instead, all she had was surprises.

Because, Qin Ran did not refuse.

Although there is no immediate agreement, as long as there is no rejection, there is still hope.

And this is the last life-saving straw for the female leader of the Snake Faction.

She will fight to the death to catch him.

Therefore, the attitude of the female leader of the Snake Sect towards Qin Ran immediately became completely different.

"Your Excellency 2567, please forgive me."

"There are really no valuable clues there. The other party is very professional, not only in killing people, but also in erasing traces."

Perikna walked slowly and suggested softly.

Qin Ran shook his head as he walked.

"It existed, and there must be traces."

Mary, who was following from the side, said even more rudely: "You may not be able to discover it, but that doesn't mean 2567 hasn't discovered anything either."
