Chapter 1227 Important Things

In the remaining flames, the demon's shadow had long since disappeared, leaving only a trace of dark golden light flowing in it. However, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes when he looked at the system prompt that had just appeared.

[Killing the remnant soul of the first crow triggers a special event: the secret of twenty years ago...]

[The secret of twenty years ago: Time is the most terrifying existence. It can not only change the world, but also change things and people. What happened twenty years ago? No one knows except the participants! Now that one participant has died, the remaining one will inevitably appear...]

…

"Is it just a remnant soul?"

Qin Ran paid attention to the description that concerned him most.

In his mind, several guesses have already appeared.

Which one is it? Kieran still needs to collect more evidence.

As for the remaining descriptions in [Secret Twenty Years Ago]?

Qin Ran, who had already guessed, was not surprised.

call!

Qin Ran took a deep breath, picked up the trophy, and looked at Mary.

As the conference hall collapsed, not only Mary, Adal, and Earl Shirin, but also more palace guards rushed here. Fortunately, under the command of the young Earl, everything was in order.

The underage princess rushed into the ruins and stood in front of Kieran. After opening her mouth several times, she seemed to make up her mind and said in one breath: "Can you tell me what happened?"

"good."

Qin Ran looked down at the stubborn and serious character on the girl's face, and nodded.

Mary had a right to know what was going on.

Although……

This is cruel.

…

The Tea Room at Warren Palace.

Different from the formal conference hall and attached tea room, this tea room is specially prepared for the young people of the royal family. These young people wait here while their elders discuss state affairs.

Of course, in order not to make young people bored, there are many items to pass the time here.

In addition to the most basic books and darts, there are also some novel gadgets.

As soon as Qin Ran walked in, he saw a puppet sword target in armor.

The leaky joints and standing posture are enough to tell Qin Ran that this puppet sword target is different from a fixed dead sword target.

"This is a small gift given to King Warren by a former consultant wizard of the Warren royal family. It only needs to be wound up, and it can perform some simple dodge and attack actions."

"For beginners of swordsmanship, it is a very good choice."

Mary acts as narrator.

"That's right."

Qin Ran nodded again, glanced at the old earl, and walked straight to the sofa beside him.

What follows is bound to be a long conversation.

Kieran didn't want to stand and talk all the time.

"Is that James fake?"

After Qinran sat down, the old count spoke directly.

The old count was obviously very excited.

Not only was his voice raised several syllables, but his whole body pressed his hands on the armrest of the sofa where Qin Ran was sitting, and stared at Qin Ran without blinking.

Kieran was not used to being looked down upon in such a posture.

He raised his hand and slightly touched the old earl's shoulder.

When the other party stepped back as if being shocked by electricity, he slowly spoke.

"You can say that."

"You can't say that."

"What's the meaning?"

The old count ignored the strangeness in his body and stood up straight again and asked.

However, this time, the old count did not approach Kieran again.

"Like I literally said that."

"The James VIII just now was both James and not James. His body was James, and most of his soul should also be James."

"Or to be more precise, most of the time."

Kieran explained to Mary in a way that he understood.

You mean the old count?

If it weren't for Mary, it would have been impossible for the other party to follow him into the tea room.

The old count was respectable, but that didn't mean that Kieran would like him.

Kieran hated the other party's rigid personality and stubborn behavior pattern.

What the other party did after that only deepened Qin Ran's disgust.

"Prairie people!"

"Your Highness, please order more soldiers to be sent to clean up the prairie people!"

"We will make them pay with blood!"

After hearing Qin Ran's words, the old count immediately looked at Mary with red eyes, like a beast that had lost its cubs, and growled repeatedly.

Facing the old earl who seemed to have lost his mind, the underage princess seemed particularly calm.

"Count Adal, please listen to 2567, we are making a decision."

The underage princess said this.

The voice is not high, but it is persistent enough.

The old count heard this persistence. After his chest rose and fell rapidly several times, he finally sat down on the sofa slumped.

The old earl's friendship for James VIII made him eager to take revenge.

But at the same time, the old earl's loyalty to the Warren royal family prevented him from disobeying Warren's only heir.

Standing between the two, one can imagine the suffering of the old earl.

But……

At any time, should not lose due calm.

Qin Ran withdrew his gaze from staring at the other party, and looked at Mary, with a hint of admiration emerging from his eyes.

Compared to the old Earl, Mary's performance was impeccable.

Even in the face of hatred, a person who knows to be calm is a partner who can be entrusted to.

"It's Shou Crow!"

"However, it should not have anything to do with the Crow Faction. It is just the personal behavior of the first crow - although this is extremely inconsistent with the other party's original plan."

"His initial plan should be to complete the follow-up finishing plan after obtaining the secret of the Dragon Sect."

"However, his collaborators clearly screwed him."

"Let him have to choose this way to survive."

Qin Ran

"Collaborator?"

"It's... the Snake Sect!"

"Who is the crow playing?"

The underage princess frowned in confusion.

"It's the helper!"

Kieran answered calmly.

There was always a doubt that bothered Qin Ran.

Why James VIII was bold enough to attack the Snakes twenty years ago was because he was desperate to attack the Snakes.

Qin Ran guessed that James VIII must have had some support, and with the appearance of the first crow, everything became clear.

The opponent's support is Shou Crow.

Twenty years ago, James VIII, who in the eyes of ordinary people could be regarded as a brilliant and strategist, faced the Raven Faction and the Snake Faction entrenched by Luldrie and began to plan how to eliminate them, but the Warren royal family The weak position prevented the young king from taking action.

Until one day, the crow found James VIII.

Immediately, the young king realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and then reap the benefits.

But from beginning to end, the young king didn't know that he had already stepped into the trap of two schools.

The two schools are like coaxing children, toying with the king in applause.

One acts as an aid.

One serves as a target.

And finally?

Those who acted as targets hid one after another.

Serve as an aid instead.

And the young king?

He can only act as a puppet.

"impossible!"

"James relies on us!"

"It won't be a genre..."

The old count, whose life-long faith had instantly collapsed, shouted loudly. He ignored Mary's obstruction and ran outside crazily.

Mary wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Qin Ran.

"Let him go!"

"He needs to really calm down!"

"and……"

"We have more important things to do!"
