Chapter 1687 The Virtuous

The cold voice reached Du's ears.

This weirdo with broken scales, even though he was not conscious enough, sneered.

Surrender?

How could I surrender!

I want to become the master of weirdness!

I will become a legend!

I will become... God!

Even death!

I will not choose to surrender!

Du raised his head high, with his own unruly look on his face, and then, he was kicked in the face again by Kieran.

Suddenly, the bruises on his face were all that remained.

The pain made me wake up quickly.

The first thing Wei Wei saw when he woke up was Qin Ran's cold eyes.

Subconsciously, it shuddered.

It swore it had never seen such terrifying eyes.

Indifferent and indifferent, as if he doesn't care about anything, but full of murderous intent.

Those eyes were like abyss, destroying lives and devouring souls.

For a moment, it felt like it was being swallowed up. When it came back to its senses, there was only killing intent from the opponent in its eyes!

Like actual murderous intent!

The neck being stared at felt like a knife being pressed against it.

It's exuding a slight tingling sensation!

It's not a joke, it's not a bluff, it's the real deal!

The other party really wanted to kill it!

Faced with such a situation, how to choose?

Du knew what he should choose, but the remaining self-esteem in his heart made him hesitate. However, after its cheek started to rub against the ground, the weirdo immediately shouted.

"I surrender!"

"I am willing to surrender to the person in front of me!"

"I will be your loyal servant. I will be the sword in your hand to open up new territories for you. I will be the shield in your hand to block the arrows from the shadows."

I don’t know where this weirdo heard this strange oath.

However, [Stone of Sioudi] recognizes such a 'covenant', and this is enough.

Feeling the extra 'covenant' restrictions in his body, he was stunned for a moment.

It is just a temporary refuge in order to survive.

It's just like before, but why did it become like this?

It is actually restricted by the ‘covenant’!

And this is just the beginning.

At the next moment, Kieran chose [Domination]!

The minds of both parties began to judge again.

This time the judgment was faster than before. Du's spirit was crushed and he had no power to resist.

"Owner!"

Du knelt down on one knee and showed his true loyalty to Qin Ran.

"Tell me everything you do."

Qin Ran said this.

Immediately, Du told everything he had done completely, and combined with everything the superior evil spirit had seen, a clear picture instantly appeared in Kieran's mind.

"Victor?"

Qin Ran pondered.

There is no doubt that the [Philosopher's Stone] fragment is a bait!

The purpose is to make the weird person in front of me do what the other person wants!

Create confusion!

Escape by faking death!

But this is definitely not the other party's real purpose.

The other party wants far more than that!

With his own guess floating in his heart, Qin Ran raised his hand and threw the healing potion he had found to Du.

Kieran had enough of this kind of medicine.

Kieran didn't mind if he could use these potions to restore a fairly good fighting strength.

This is especially true when the other party is still useful.

After drinking several potions, his injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, Qin Ran returned to the temporary camp with Du.

Seeing Qin Ran returning, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, everyone looked puzzled when they saw Du.

They all know each other, and those who don't know him have also heard of excessive names. Of course, most of them have bad reputations.

At this moment, everyone felt an unreal feeling as they watched the other party appear respectfully behind Qin Ran.

"Luo Yan, how did you do it?"

The eldest lady of the Songshi family asked curiously.

"Convince people with virtue."

Kieran said calmly.

Immediately, Song Shi's eyes widened.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"The footprints on it haven't been wiped clean yet!"

Songshi pointed at the degree.

"Those are not footprints, those are teachings!"

Kieran said with certainty.

Believe it or not!

Songshi walked aside angrily.

Palladia took a deep breath. He tried to look normal and tried not to show anything strange, because he knew what was going on.

[Stone of Sioudi]!

There is no other possibility than this stone.

Palladia's whole body trembled at the thought of this stone's ability to deprive people of their hearts.

He definitely doesn't want to become an ordinary puppet.

But……

Subconsciously, Paradia glanced at Kieran. It seemed that because of the angle or psychological reasons, when Paradia looked at Kieran quietly, he always felt that Kieran was looking at him.

It's like the cook watching the fish.

That taste made Palladia almost cry.

"What's wrong?"

Ponnard noticed something was wrong with the herders in the gem area next to him.

"fine."

"I suddenly had a realization in my heart."

"I am repenting for my previous life, and I have decided to follow Lord Luo Yan from now on, making up for my empty life before and after, I want to make my life meaningful!"

Palladia said loudly.

are you crazy?

Ponnard immediately rolled his eyes.

The northern herder on the side scratched his head. He also thought that Palladia was ill.

Involuntarily, his eyes looked at Palladia with a sense of pity.

Facing the blank eyes and pity, Palladia's heart was in tears.

However, on the surface, he still looks determined.

He doesn't want to be a puppet.

He also wants to have his own thinking.

Seeing Palladia's eyes begging for mercy, Kieran ignored it completely.

Although the opponent was quite strong, compared to ordinary people, occupying a precious spot with such strength, unless Kieran was stupid, he would never do this.

To put it simply, Kieran disliked the other party.

Signing a covenant is just to quickly gain basic trust.

As for more?

That's because Palladia is overthinking.

Qin Ran looked at Du.

With Qin Ran's signal, Du immediately took a step forward, attracted everyone's attention, and told everything he knew and had done.

Suddenly, everyone's expressions became dignified and serious.

Including the eldest lady of the Songshi family.

Song Shi may be willful, but he is definitely not stupid.

She knew very well what kind of situation they were in front of.

If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces.

Because no one could imagine that the 'Judge' Victor would do such a thing.

"There are powerful people far superior to us hidden in the battlefield of the 'Winter Night War'."

"Lord Victor, who was supposed to preside over the 'Winter Night War', died suddenly."

"Although I don't want to say this, but..."

"Lord Victor is the most suspicious."

Ponard frowned and said.

Obviously, 'Judge' Victor is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Until now, Ponnard still couldn't believe that this was the plan of the other party.

This is not just the case for Ponnard, but also for Lucan, Palladia and Songshi.

Especially the three people who were born as herders were unwilling to accept it.

On the contrary, Song Shi, who was born as a stranger, quickly calmed down.

"Have you ever thought about why Victor did this?"

Song Shi asked.

Unknowingly, the eldest lady of the Songshi family changed her title as ‘Judge’.

Ponard, Lucan and Palladia were stunned.

Then, subconsciously, the three of them thought of the word 'meat ticket' that Kieran mentioned before.

With such a hint, the three people reacted quickly.

"Victor, who presided over the Winter Night War, is dead, so it seems normal for some accidents to happen on the battlefield of the Winter Night War!"

"For example: the monsters inside are rioting!"

"We were captured by mistake!"

"Each camp will definitely send people to come. When the time comes, if the hidden strong man takes action, none of us or the people who are responding will be able to escape!"

With one word from one person, a terrifying fact soon appeared in front of everyone.

Faced with such a terrifying fact, everyone took a deep breath.

Qin Ran silently shook his head in his heart.

It's not that I object to such speculation.

But such speculation is too one-sided.

In other words, Songshi and others did not find the core of the matter: the [Philosopher's Stone] fragments!

Victor had laid out so much, how could he not guess that Du would come to the battlefield of the ‘Winter Night War’.

Or, in other words, with such a large layout, how could the target be simply some young people from each camp and the so-called coordinators?

The other party wants to reveal the entire mystery...

Catch them all!

Doing so may seem difficult.

In fact, it’s extremely simple!

You know, here, this battlefield of the "Winter Night War", not only has the [Philosopher's Stone] fragments brought by Du, it also has treasures hidden everywhere as rewards for the "Winter Night War"!

The wages of avarice is death!

What will it be like when those who are looking for the fragments of the [Philosopher's Stone] enter here and discover the reward 'treasures' that originally belonged to the 'Winter Night War', especially when these 'treasures' are far better than imagined. situation?

The backbone of each camp fights here!

Eventually, this fight will turn into a war.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ran seemed to see a scene of rivers of blood.

If the most high-end combat forces on the mysterious side also join in, it will really be devastating.

There is no doubt that Victor's previous changes to the 'Winter Night War' were for this moment.

Moreover, Kieran was sure.

Does the other party have any hidden methods as insurance and backup plan?

The person who made such a plan can be said to be thoughtful enough. If such a person does not have any backup plan, Kieran will not believe anything he says.

And him?

What is needed is to be alert to such backup plans and at the same time get the 'treasures' that are used as 'bait' one by one.

…

Underground, somewhere.

The sewage flows from the channel, rumbling like a river, but it is far less vast than a real river. All it has is the rolling stench.

Every time it rolls, a foul smell will fill the air.

I don’t know how long it has been accumulating, but the stench here has already filled the sky.

Even mice can't stand this smell.

Those monsters rarely come here.

So, it became a great place to meet.

The scarlet skeleton stepped into this place, its tattered cloak swaying slightly with its steps, and the soul fire in its eyes became the only light in this place.

It's a pity that although such light brings brightness, it only has a cold feeling inside.

Anyone who is illuminated by this light will not feel warmth, but will feel despair!

Despair from the depths of the soul!

The rosary beads were plucked one by one.

The skeleton's jaw opens and closes slightly, and the eulogy that ordinary people cannot hear is flowing in the ears of the listeners.

It is a secret technique.

Another call.

Wow!

There was a churning sound in the foul-smelling river water.

A figure jumped out of it and landed in front of the Scarlet Skull.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The scarlet skull said this, raised his hand, and a linen robe was handed to the man.

The other party took the robe and began to wipe his body. After wiping it clean, he didn't dislike it at all and just put it on.

"terribly sorry."

"This is the only piece of clothing I have here that can be called clothing."

"leftover?"

"Trust me, you won't like it."

The scarlet skeleton pointed at the tattered cloak on his body, and probably said with a smile, but the smile of the skeleton was simply unacceptable to most people, especially under the scarlet luster.

All there is is terror and ferocity.

"After I made my choice, nothing mattered."

"Both life and death."

"To me, it's all the same."

"Let alone a piece of clothing."

As the other party spoke, he stepped closer to the Scarlet Skull.

Under the illumination of the soul fire, the other party revealed a thin, handsome face. His slightly pale hair looked messy due to the wash of the river water, but his eyes were extremely bright under the light.

It's not completely bright, but a turbid brightness, like a flame.

These eyes are very attractive.

It seems to have seen through all the worldliness, but is unwilling to be driven by the worldliness.

Because of these eyes, the already handsome man became even more handsome.

Moreover, people unconsciously ignore the other person's age.

"certainly!"

"You have already put life and death aside."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be so... crazy!"

After thinking for a while, the scarlet skull gave an evaluation to the person in front of it. It looked at the person in front of it. If it didn't know what the other person wanted to do, it would have been completely unimaginable that such an ordinary person would do such a thing. Something terrible is coming.

Power is just a way to achieve transcendence.

The heart is the only thing.

Inexplicably, it thought of something the teacher often said when it was still alive.

Of course, detachment has nothing to do with the matter at hand.

Just similar.

The person in front of me has little power.

However, the other party's heart is very strong.

even……

horrible!

Facing such a collaborator, it dare not make any oversights.

Therefore, it asked again.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure you will give me your heart, flesh, and soul after you complete this plan?"

Scarlet Skull asked.

"Didn't we sign a contract?"

The visitor asked rhetorically.

"contract?"

"The most unreliable thing in my opinion!"

The scarlet skull said this, and the next moment, he turned around and walked to one side.

"bring it on!"

"I'll take you to meet some guys. Without them, your plan would still be missing a link - but if you want them to bring out their own treasures, you need to bring out the corresponding things."

"And you have to promise that you won't touch those cherished thoughts."

"after all……"

"In my opinion, those are real treasures!"
