Chapter 1204 I’ll Also Tell You a Secret

Just like before, Kieran sat face to face with the old Earl Aida.

As for the atmosphere?

He was as silent as before.

Qin Ran sat there waiting for the old Earl of Aida to reveal the secret about the Snake Sect.

He had no intention of speaking first or urging the old earl.

After half a minute, the old count raised his head and looked at Qin Ran.

"Before I tell the secret about the Snake Sect, can you tell me the truth, do you look down on James?"

The old count asked inexplicably, making Qin Ran frown.

It wasn't that the other party guessed what was in his heart, but that Qin Ran was not used to this kind of oblique way of talking.

For Kieran who is habitually cautious, he would not look down on anyone.

This is true of ordinary people, let alone a king.

Qin Ran believes that anyone who can become a king is not a simple person, even if the other person has always behaved very cowardly.

But don't forget that before this, it was this cowardly person who had been restraining Jenny James, the Earl of Will in the south.

If James VIII is really as cowardly as he appears.

I'm afraid he has been killed long ago!

Kieran would never doubt Jenny James' ruthlessness.

Nor would he doubt Earl Will's ambition.

No more doubts...

The professionalism of Snake School!

The assassination of James VIII by the remnants of the Snake Sect was full of scruples.

It's the kind of scruples that want to get rid of it quickly, but are worried about the consequences of direct action.

Otherwise, a dagger and a crossbow would be more useful than that painting.

Kieran didn't believe that the other party was caring about him.

Judging from the fact that the other party was easily drawn out and killed by him, the remnants of the Snake Sect had just dismissed him before.

With such an attitude, how could there be any scruples.

Then besides him, who else in the entire Warren Palace would be worried about?

Mary? Count Shilling? Or maybe someone from the Crow Faction?

None of them match the speculation.

And after setting these aside, only the most unlikely possibility remains: James VIII himself.

The King was lying on the bed, dying, and might die at any time.

With such speculation, how could Qin Ran look down on the other party.

"No."

"He hides a lot more than he shows."

"I don't know why he's hiding."

"Maybe it's because of Mary?"

"Or is it because of something else?"

"But one thing I am sure of is that James VIII was a man to be wary of."

Qin Ran shook his head and said this.

"James will be surprised if he hears your evaluation! He thought he was hiding well, but was completely seen through by a young man who hadn't met a few times."

"Twenty years ago, he was very ambitious and wanted to change Warren, which was dominated and dominated by genres."

"For this reason, he specially made friends with people like me, not just me, but a group of people like me, including Holly who was killed by you!"

Holly? !

The Holly who caused the demise of the Snake Faction? !

In an instant, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

He thought of more things.

"Yes, it's what you think."

"James single-handedly planned the destruction of the Snake Faction - this is the secret I want to tell you!"

"In fact, it's not just the Snake sect, there are other sects entrenched in Warren!"

"They are hiding in Warren, openly or covertly, and we are also learning from them, covertly or covertly...by their side, waiting for the most appropriate time to launch a big change."

"When I think about those days now, I still feel excited."

"Every day is a new battle."

"Every day brings you closer to your goal."

"Then……"

"We've had unprecedented success."

“Those genres stayed away from Warren.”

"But we also failed."

"Because, we didn't expect that the genre had already planted the dark child in our hearts."

As he spoke, the old count's expression changed from excitement to loneliness.

"Elaine, Mary's mother, James' lover and wife."

"Jenny James, Mary's aunt, James' sister."

"You know all this."

"And there's something you don't know."

The old count's voice became lower and lower, until it was almost a whisper.

Kieran couldn't hear clearly what the other party was saying.

But he could guess.

Elaine, once the chief of the Crow Faction.

Janey James, the leader who is not recognized by the Ghost Sect.

These two appeared with young James VIII, but what about the others?

For example: where will the backbone of some schools and ordinary disciples go?

The answer is self-evident.

The dazed look on the old earl's face had already informed him.

In other words, reality told him.

The old count once said that they are a group of people.

But except for Holly, who was killed by him, he had only seen the old earl. Where were the rest of them?

die!

Apart from death, Qin Ran could not think of anything else.

If these people had not died, James VIII would not have been so lonely when facing the invasion of the prairie people.

"Ah."

Suddenly, Kieran let out a chuckle.

"how?"

"you do not believe."

old count

"No."

"I was just thinking, what would Mary do if she knew this side of her father?"

Qin Ran said slowly.

"So, there are some things I have to avoid Mary."

"she……"

As he spoke, the old count shook his head and stopped talking.

"You are denying an established fact again."

"Moreover, you are still instilling in me what you think is the correct philosophy."

Qin Ran frowned.

"I'm not debating whether it's right or not!"

"I don't want to deny it either!"

"But the fact is: the appearance of Elaine and the birth of Mary were all wrong."

"Do you know how painfully James accepted his failure, and then hid here to survive?"

"Do you know how I felt when my companions died one after another and I had no choice but to go south?"

"You do not understand!"

"You don't know all this without experiencing it yourself!"

The old earl said, scratching his neck.

He was so excited that his face turned red and veins appeared on his neck.

Then……

boom!

The old count was kicked out by Qin Ran, and the sofa rolled down outside the door.

"you!"

The old count struggled to get up from the ground, his face red and swollen. He raised his hand and pointed at Qin Ran, his fingers trembling non-stop.

Obviously, the other party did not expect Qin Ran to do this.

"James' pain, your pain, your dead companions..."

"None of my business!"

"I'm just Mary's friend."

"So, you should thank Mary. If it weren't for her, you would be meeting your companions now."

Qin Ran slowly retracted his left foot, hung [Ji Ye] on his waist, and walked towards the door.

Looking at Qin Ran who picked up 【Extreme Night】, the excited old count visibly shuddered. However, Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the other party at all, but bypassed the other party.

However, when passing by the old count, Qin Ran paused.

"Now I'll tell you a secret too!"

"Did your so-called 'destruction of the Snake Sect' really succeed?"

"You think what you see is everything?"

"Do you want to see the real reality?"

After speaking, Qin Ran continued to walk forward without waiting for the other party's answer.

Sitting there, the old count's face changed drastically. He thought of something, but he obviously didn't dare to admit it.

"Will not!"

"Will not!"

"You lied to me! You lied to me!"

The old count asked loudly at Qin Ran's back.

But Kieran didn't answer.

All there is is the night breeze blowing slowly.

And, the crow-feather windbreaker fluttering in the night wind.
