The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1763 Etantinoburg

When the fog dissipated, Qin Ran retracted his gaze, but frowned slightly.

too easy!

A king who inherited the throne at the age of seven and cleared all obstacles at the age of sixteen could never be so rough.

Or……

It is impossible to send such reckless men down.

Will you reveal all your cards as soon as you meet?

Qin Ran didn't object to doing this. It was a good thing for the lion to fight the rabbit with all his strength.

Kieran liked to do this himself.

But that is based on clear testing and knowing the details of the other party. There is almost no testing like this...

Just like a fool!

Attantine VI was no fool.

But, the other party really did it.

"That's interesting."

"It seems that king is more interesting than I thought."

Giving His Majesty the King a new evaluation in his heart, Qin Ran used the power of the contract to order the superior evil spirit to 'clean the battlefield well'. After the superior evil spirit gave a clear reply, he looked out the window.

At this time, the convoy split into two, and those who chose to move on had already entered the confines of Etantinoburg.

Although there are still mountains and dense forests, they have become gentle.

When night fell again, Qin Ran had already seen the crop fields.

Although it is covered by thick snow, when the snow melts, it will definitely be a fertile land.

Bol, who had been sitting opposite Kieran, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

He knew that the convoy was safe.

When they arrived at the hinterland of Fort Altantino, there were not only soldiers at the outpost, but also elite patrols from Fort Altantino. The bandits did not dare to appear here at all.

As for evil?

Same thing.

You know, this is the territory of the God of War and Ms. Calamity.

In fact, this is also true.

After Qin Ran entered the territory of Fort Altantino, he observed it with [Tracking] vision.

The evil atmosphere is indeed much less than that of Sika City.

Not to mention that it forms like a mist, it appears occasionally but disappears quickly.

Obviously, the God of War and Lady Calamity are more majestic than imagined.

Under this premise, the convoy moved forward safely.

In the morning of the next day, a behemoth appeared on the horizon. Immediately, the team belonging to the Kate Chamber of Commerce at the front of the motorcade took the lead in cheering, and then the entire team cheered.

"Mr. Pol, Lord Colin, Etantinople has arrived!"

Ashcano patted the carriage and informed Bol and Kieran of the good news.

Bol suppressed the urge to jump out of the car and check on Etantinoburg, and looked at Kieran.

Qin Ran opened the car window, turned his head slightly, and looked at the buildings in the distance.

From a distance, it looks like a mountain.

It seemed like a ferocious beast was crawling there.

Of course, this is within normal vision.

In [Tracking]'s field of vision, the brilliance belonging to the God of War soared into the sky, bright, dazzling, and awe-inspiring. However, under the brilliance, there was a hint of coldness hidden in it, preventing the brilliance from fully blooming.

Just as Qin Ran knew.

confrontation.

Tie.

The next moment, Kieran withdrew his gaze and leaned back in his seat again.

Bol immediately leaned over to look at Etantinoburg, which he had never seen before, and even leaned out half of the body.

After more than ten seconds, Boll sat back down.

"Aitantino is worthy of being called the 'Fortress on the Hill'. It really looks like a mountain."

"Legend has it that when Attantine I was not yet a king, but just a run-down nobleman, this was his original fiefdom."

"At that time, this was a remote rural area, not to mention a city. There was no wasteland that could be cultivated. It was just stone land. But that Etandine I turned waste into treasure, digging out stones one by one and building them into He built his own fortress and laid the best foundation for himself to become the founding king of Etandin."

"In that king's life, there were three situations that could be called fatal."

"The king relied on the castle's defense to escape the previous two times."

"But not the last time!"

"A castle that could withstand an army did not help the king to defend himself against a dagger from behind."

As if regretful, Bol shook his head.

Qin Ran was completely indifferent.

Not that he doubted Bohr, but that he fundamentally doubted the legends.

The reason why the legend is called a legend is naturally because it is unbelievable.

In addition, history is written by the victors, so naturally some things have changed.

Unless you see it with your own eyes... No, even if you see it with your own eyes, it might be fake.

If you don't distinguish carefully, you will only be fooled.

Kieran didn't want to be fooled.

Therefore, he became more and more vigilant.

After Bol saw that Kieran was not interested in the construction of Fort Etantino, he immediately shut his mouth knowingly and began to focus on his own affairs.

Although Attantine VI has issued a decree that "Kimpton can be exchanged for a title," Bol will not be satisfied with this. This is just the minimum to complete the main mission.

What he needs is to complete the main mission to a greater extent.

"Perhaps we can discuss this with the baron."

"The other party's finances are very poor. This will be my best breakthrough."

Boll, who had made up his mind, began to calculate his own Kimpton.

Then, he frowned.

The 3,000 Kimptons used to purchase the title cannot be touched. The hidden 5,000 Kimptons have already been spent. After putting these aside, the only money he can use is 479 Kimptons, 14 silver soles and 7 coppers. gram.

"It's a bit stretched!"

Ball knew very well that the baron was not a philanthropist.

The other party can even be said to be a vampire.

Wanting to completely acquire the 'village' in the other party's name from the other party has already cost him 1,000 Kimptons. If he wants to purchase land from the other party again, 479 Kimptons are not enough at all.

At least 500 more Kimptons are needed.

No!

Taking into account the other party's unwillingness to become a 'nominal' noble, the price is likely to double.

That’s at least 1,500 Kimpton.

Where will I find the money?

Subconsciously, Bol's eyes looked at Kieran.

Kieran had received a lot of bounty before, if possible... No! I don't want to die yet!

However, Bol immediately withdrew his gaze.

Although he didn't know why, his instinct told him that if he really did this, he might die without a burial place.

Boll believed in instinct.

Because, more than once, he relied on instinct to escape.

Is money or life more important?

Bol chose the latter.

If the money is gone, you can still make it again, but what if your life is gone?

Then it's really gone.

call!

Taking a deep breath, Bol leaned back in his chair and started thinking. He needed a way to earn enough Kimptons quickly.

At this time, the team had already begun to accelerate.

After seeing the destination, everyone couldn't wait to rush into Fort Altantino.

Because that not only means that the task is completed and you can get corresponding rewards, but it also means hot bath water and soft beds.

Art, the interim head of the Kate Chamber of Commerce, is no exception.

He wished he could fly back to his home in Etantinople and hug his wife and children.

But when he thought of the deaths of the caravan captain and the guard leader Kagu, Aite couldn't help but frown in distress.

The boss of Kate Chamber of Commerce is not a small-minded person. On the contrary, he has a very good reputation.

Even Aite was helped by the other party.

However, it does not mean that the other party is easy to fool.

Anyone trying to fool the other party is now being fooled by the other party.

As an old man of the Chamber of Commerce, Aite would never do this.

He raised his hand and called a guard to him.

"Go and notify the boss."

"Inform the boss of everything we encounter on the road."

Aite ordered.

The guards will leave immediately.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, Aite patted his horse and came to the carriage where Kieran and Bol were.

The temporary leader of the caravan said very politely.

"Mr. Ball."

"Sir Colin."

Bol, who was thinking hard, was stunned for a moment when he heard Aite's voice, and then his eyes lit up. After signaling to Qin Ran, he opened the car window.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Att?"

Bol asked with a smile.

"There's something."

"I hope that you and Mr. Colin can go to meet my boss with me later to testify to my words."

"Don't worry, I swear I don't mean any harm."

"I just hope the boss can trust me more."

Aite said without confidence.

"Your boss?"

"Is it the Honorable Kate Hall?"

Bol asked.

Kate Hall's name has already spread throughout the northern territory of Etantine along with the name of Kate Chamber of Commerce. Many people in the entire North Continent have even heard of this self-made man who has become a party in just ten years. A wealthy businessman.

Or……

Legendary businessman!

Rumor has it that the source of the other party's first pot of gold was an abandoned iron mine.

The abandoned iron ore pit itself belonged to another businessman. The other party fraudulently used the abandoned iron ore pit as a mortgage with Kate Hall in exchange for a sum of about 300 goldpton in cash, and then ran away like this. .

By the time Kate Hall found out, the other party had already left.

300 Kimpton was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Kate Hall at that time. After being defrauded, Kate Hall walked into the abandoned iron mine pit frustrated.

According to rumors, Kate Hal was already preparing to seek death at that time.

However, perhaps before he died, he was so resentful that the young businessman picked up the pickaxe on the ground and smashed it into the wall.

Then……

Kate Hall has discovered gold!

Yes, it’s a gold mine!

It's not a barren gold mine, it's quite rich!

Kate Hall is back from the dead.

Then, relying on this gold mine, he quickly became one of the largest businessmen in Etantine.

Of course, Bol knew everything about such a big businessman.

"That's right, it's Boss Kate Hall."

Aite said while looking at Bol anxiously.

He was afraid that Bol would reject him.

This is not what the other party should do, and even if he rejects it, he has nothing to say.

Should I pay something?

But if I give compensation now, will my boss misunderstand me?

As an honest person, Aite was troubled.

However, the next moment, Bol nodded directly.

"OK."

"I can go."

"As for Lord Colin..."

Bol extended his tone and looked at Kieran. When he found that Kieran did not have any clear objection, he immediately said: "There is no problem."

Seeing Qin Ran who was silent and acquiescing, Aite was overjoyed.

"Thanks!"

"Thank you very much!"

He thanked Qin Ran profusely.

Then, he patted his horse and returned to the front of the line.

Bol stared blankly at Aite's back.

After a long while, he rubbed the tip of his nose and said.

"Honest people can be dishonest sometimes."

Obviously, the other party came here entirely because of Qin Ran.

As for him?

But incidentally.

Bol was sure that even if he didn't go, Kieran would still be happy as long as he agreed to go.

Feeling dispensable, Bol shrugged.

However, there was no anger.

The other party has a purpose.

Didn't he?

Tit for tat, it's even.

Bol comforted himself in this way.

Then, he began to simulate in his mind what it would be like to meet the big businessman, trying to make sure that nothing was missed.

After about an hour, the convoy began to slow down.

The Fort of Etantino, which looked far on the horizon, was already very close at this time.

When viewed from a distance, Etantinople looks like a mountain.

Upon closer inspection, Etantinoburg looks like a city holding up the sky.

There is a 30-meter-high city wall surrounding the city, but it does not block the circles of buildings in the city. In those circles, there are crowds of people, all the way to the highest castle, which reflects the golden light in the sun.

It was exactly noon at this moment, and the castle was under the sun, as if it was connected to the sun, and seemed to be supporting the sun.

Everyone who sees Etantinople for the first time is in awe.

Bol is no exception.

"With the current productivity, it is really unimaginable that such a city can be built."

Bol admired.

Qin Ran didn't object, but there was no more admiration in his eyes.

Maybe there is no scientific side, but in this world full of gods and evil spirits, nothing is impossible, and even some things that are completely impossible from the scientific side are normal for them to happen here.

Qin Ran withdrew his eyes from sizing up Etantino Castle and looked at the city gate.

The city gate was not fully opened, but a 'small gate' that was two meters high and five meters long was opened.

All people pass through the small door.

There are no exceptions for businessmen and civilians.

The soldiers on both sides were strictly checking.

On the side of the soldier, a rich middle-aged man was standing there with two tall and strong attendants.

When he saw Kate's caravan, this rich middle-aged man immediately came up to him.

Kieran's eyes did not move along with the other party's movements.

He was still looking at the city gate.

There, a civilian who seemed to be lining up to enter the city honestly suddenly ran past the two attendants when a wealthy middle-aged man passed by him. He pulled out a hidden dagger and stabbed the opponent in the waist. .

ah!
