Chapter 1764 Inquiry

The assassin who succeeded with one strike shrank like a cat and avoided the attacks of the two attendants of the wealthy middle-aged man.

The long sword almost passed by the assassin, but the assassin calmly threw the dagger in his hand and pulled the hidden trigger at the same time.

Whoosh!

puff!

The short but sharp arrow from the left arm crossbow directly penetrated the neck of one attendant, while the dagger was stuck in the neck of another attendant.

The two sturdy attendants who had just attacked with their swords fell to the ground clutching their throats.

The assassin calmly stood up straight, grabbed his dagger, and pulled it out.

puff!

There was another spurt of blood.

The assassin shook off the blood on the dagger, faced the charging soldiers, raised his left thumb, and slowly drew it across his throat.

then--

boom!

Thick smoke filled the surroundings.

The rushing soldiers and people lining up were all shrouded in smoke.

"Quiet!"

"keep the order!"

shouted the leader of the soldiers.

But it didn't work at all.

The blood and corpses frightened ordinary people.

Screams of panic.

Hesitant footsteps.

This directly plunged the city gate of Etantino into chaos.

Bol stood still.

Although such scenes were rare, he was definitely not unfamiliar with them.

Blood and corpses are even more familiar to players.

Except for rookies, every veteran knows what to do if they encounter such a thing in the dungeon world: maintain actions consistent with their identity.

Don't try to change anything.

Because, it won’t be time.

Because that will only make everything worse.

Therefore, he was not surprised that Qin Ran remained silent.

You know, this is Etantinople!

Etantinople with the God of War and Lady Calamity!

Even the 'Demon of Fire' cannot be unscrupulous.

However, Bol was obviously more concerned about the corpse.

"Hopefully that guy isn't who I thought he was."

Bol prayed quietly.

“Between the good and the bad, the bad tends to have a much greater chance of happening.”

Qin Ran answered.

Boll looked helpless. He also knew that the rich middle-aged man was most likely the legendary businessman Kate Hall, but he still felt a little lucky in his heart.

But as the smoke dissipated, and as the temporary leader of the caravan, Aite, rushed towards the body with a frightened and overwhelmed face, Bol showed a wry smile.

Ruined.

His most direct and simple 'loan' channel is gone.

And, that's not the worst.

The worst thing is that with the death of Kate Hal, the legendary businessman, more soldiers appeared at the city gate, and everyone at the city gate was subject to review.

Especially ‘outsiders’ are a top priority.

Looking at the soldiers who surrounded the caravan, with their swords unsheathed and matchlocks raised high, Boll raised his hands in cooperation, indicating that he did not pose any threat.

Qin Ran had sat back in the carriage long before this moment.

The soldiers just control the scene.

The real interrogators are not these people.

Rather than wasting time with the soldiers below, it would be better to drink some tea and eat some snacks.

The tea has a light fragrance.

Desserts are slightly sweet.

Although it is not as crispy as the first baked one, it still has a different taste.

It's a sense of time settling in.

Kieran was sure that if it were left for a few more days, blue-green spots would definitely appear.

Fortunately, it is not available yet.

Bol, who stood under the carriage with his hands raised, could clearly hear the sound of Kieran chewing snacks and swallowing tea. Feeling the cold wind blowing against his face, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"Well, um, can I go up and get a coat?"

Bol asked the surrounding soldiers.

The soldier responded by pointing the muzzle of his matchlock gun at Boll's forehead.

"Okay, okay."

"I see."

Bol immediately stood still.

But his eyes were looking around.

The other people who were queuing up to enter the city were controlled by a group of soldiers on the other side. Several people in uniform were checking the identification of these people one by one.

The same goes for caravans.

But the difference is that there are more soldiers in the caravan, and they are all at war with each other.

for what?

Very simple, the caravan guards.

The strength and the weapons they carry that are different from ordinary people make these soldiers feel like they are facing a powerful enemy.

However, Bol shook his head secretly.

That assassin is definitely not here anymore.

He was absolutely sure.

The last smoke had already made the other party disappear without a trace.

And that left Boll with a heavy heart.

He was not worried about what the assassin would do to him, he was worried about the guards, because judging from the assassination just now, everyone would agree that it was a well-planned assassination.

The key point is how Kate Hal appeared at the city gate.

So, how did Kate Hall show up?

I received a message from Aite.

Aite sent the message again because something happened to the caravan.

Among them, he and Qin Ran resolved the accident.

Of course, Kieran was the main one, he just took the initiative.

Can……

Those interrogators didn't think so.

He and Qin Ran must have become the most important link.

Even if the two of them are truly innocent!

In order to put down this assassination as quickly as possible, the interrogators will never let go of any suspicious things. Even if there are some despicable guys among the interrogators, it is not impossible to make some perjury in order to go faster.

Immediately, Bol's mind flashed to some scenarios in which the interrogators wanted to be tortured and then burned to ashes.

That 'Demon of Fire' will restrain himself.

But he will never tolerate being bullied, that is not his character.

"I have just arrived at Fort Altantino, and I haven't completed the minimum main quest yet. Am I about to face beings like the God of War and Lady Calamity?"

"Although I am determined to exceed the task limit, is this... too fast?"

"I'm not ready yet!"

The bitter smile on Bol's lips became even more bitter.

Once Kieran takes action, he will inevitably face the God of War and Ms. Calamity.

There is almost no room for maneuver.

And Bol only hopes that this time will come later.

However, Bol's hope did not come true. A man in uniform walked straight towards this place after asking Aite who was kneeling hesitantly next to Kate Hall's body.

The other person has a young face, a hooked nose, like the beak of an eagle, and sharp eyes that are more like a resurrected eagle. His long golden hair is draped down his shoulders, bearing the small silver epaulette.

This represents the identity of the other party: a knight.

Although he is not at the level of a knight captain, he is far superior to ordinary soldiers, soldier captains and the like.

Almost as much as the second-in-command of an infantry regiment.

After taking into account the age of the other party and some small details of his walking, Boll determined that the other party was a young man born into a noble family, or a great nobleman with a long history.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a young person to achieve his current status.

The great nobles with a long history have one advantage: they are self-restrained and calm.

The other party walked up to Boll, and his sharp eyes had already glanced at Boll countless times. Therefore, he spoke simply: "Cool Walton."

The other party reported his home address.

Wharton?

This surname immediately reminded Boer of the financial adjutant of Etantinople, the Marquis of Wharton.

A nobleman with a good reputation.

And the inheritance remains.

Rumor has it that the Marquis also had blond hair.

After looking at the appearance of the young man in front of him, Bol bowed slightly to show courtesy.

"Boll."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kull Wharton."

"If you have anything to ask, please say it directly. I will never hide it."

Bol answered as a businessman.

"Can you tell me about the attack on you?"

Kull Wharton asked.

"certainly."

Bol nodded immediately and told the complete story of what happened. At the end, Bol also added: "We hurried to Etantinoburg because we had something to do. There were many people behind us, and they also We have the same experience.”

After hearing Bol's addition, Kull Walton nodded noncommittally.

The young nobleman certainly understood what Bol meant.

After all, Bohr emphasized the pronunciation of "something" and "in a hurry".

However, the young nobleman had no intention of letting him go.

It's not that he doesn't believe Bohr's words. When Bohr was describing it just now, he had been observing Bohr, and he could be sure that Bohr was not lying.

Moreover, Aite and Bol said the same thing.

He didn't know much about Bol, but Aite knew it, which allowed the young nobleman to initially confirm that Bol was not lying.

but……

At this moment, he no longer paid attention to the truth.

Instead, he has a strong interest in people who can solve evil and strangeness.

Kull Wharton looked at the car unconsciously.

"Is that Colin in there?"

Kull Wharton asked.

"exist."

Bol didn't deny it, but he lamented in his heart.

really!

Immediately, I will challenge the hell mode!

As a former veteran, Bol knew some of the rules of the 'dungeon world'.

When you choose, make, and complete tasks that exceed the difficulty of the existing main task, the main task will change accordingly, and the corresponding evaluation and benefits will increase.

Bol would never object to this.

but……

Can we do it step by step?

Let me complete the minimum main tasks I set first!

Let me get used to it!

After receiving Bol's affirmative answer, Cool Walton ignored Bol anymore. He raised his hand and grabbed for the car door, trying to pull it open.

However, the education he received from childhood made him stop the moment he opened the car door.

He loosened his hand and turned it into a gentle tap.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Come in."

After Qin Ran's voice sounded, the young nobleman didn't hesitate anymore. He opened the door, got into the car, and closed the door behind him.

After signaling with his eyes, the young nobleman sat down at Bol's seat and began to look at Qin Ran with his sharp eyes.

Black coat, same color pants and leather boots.

A coat made of wool hangs on one side.

The face is ordinary, young but mature. He is half leaning on the cushion, slightly lazy, his eyes are casual and indifferent, and his palms are slender, but no calluses are seen.

but……

The inexplicable palpitations kept coming.

It was like looking at a tiger crawling there lazily.

No!

Not even a tiger would let me do this.

I only felt like this in front of...those congressmen.

Don't wake him!

Never wake him!

A voice in his heart told him.

And Kull Wharton is definitely not an ignorant young man.

Therefore, he paused and hid the words he had prepared in his heart. He stopped his sharp gaze and asked in a gentle tone: "Is this Mr. Colin?"

"Yes."

Kieran nodded.

"Cool Wharton."

The young noble introduced himself again, and then directly extended his right hand.

After confirming that the other party had no ill intentions and no hidden traps, Kieran's upbringing made him extend his hand.

The two sides shook hands slightly and then let go.

Kieran leaned back into the cushions again.

Kull Walton recalled the feeling just now in detail.

No calluses as seen.

But it has a different sense of power.

Should be able to crush steel.

The young nobleman who came to such a conclusion had a spring-like smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Colin, why do you come to Etantinople?"

the other party asked.

"Because of Bol's invitation."

"I rescued Pole on the way, and then he asked me to be his bodyguard and escort him to Etantinople."

Kieran said half-truthfully.

This is also the formula that he and Boll have already agreed on.

"Oh, I see."

"This journey must not be peaceful. I asked Sir Boer before. Are those evil creatures not easy to deal with?"

The young nobleman was making insinuations.

"fine."

"They hide in the shadows."

"But if you find the weakness, it's not difficult."

Qin Ran answered.

This time it's completely real.

Although the world in front of us is special, there are still rules.

Those evil spirits are no exception.

As long as you find the rules of those evil anomalies, it is really not difficult to kill those evil anomalies, especially those that have not even completed their 'arrival'.

If you are facing a newly 'born' one, as long as you have enough willpower, a matchlock gun will be enough.

"That's also for someone like you..."

"What do you think about the assassination just now?"

The young noble paused for a moment, hid what he originally wanted to say, and began to change the subject.

"No."

Kieran said truthfully.

The young noble was stunned.

Although it was much restrained, it could tell that Qin Ran really didn't care about this.

After a slight hesitation in his heart, the young noble asked tentatively.

"That……"

“What do you think of the new ‘law’?”

"Use Kimpton to buy the edict of the title."

The young noble's voice lowered unconsciously.

"No."

Qin Ran shook his head again.

That's something Boll needs a relationship with.

not him.

Looking at Kieran, the young nobleman was confused.

Is my guess wrong?

The young noble began to doubt his own inference, but he did not show it. Instead, he took out a small bag of candy from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"I see you seem to like snacks."

"I've troubled you for a long time, so these are my thanks."

"They are exquisite products from the Snow Owl Candy House. I like to eat them very much and always carry some with me. Of course, this pack is new and I have not opened it."

said the young noble.

"Thanks."

Kieran thanked him softly.

Then, he pointed outside the car.

Said softly——

"careful."
