The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1775 Timing

The patrol at Etantinople arrived much faster than expected.

In just three minutes, a group of heavily armed soldiers appeared in people's sight.

The leading soldier sped up even more after seeing Kuhl Wharton. While the other party ordered his subordinates to protect the scene, he quickly walked up to Kuhl Wharton.

"Knight Wharton, are you okay?"

The other party asked respectfully.

But there was more of a sense of fear in his words.

Because the soldier captain knew very well what the young noble in front of him represented.

The opponent's background is enough to gain the respect of everyone present, and the identity of the opponent's knight makes the opponent even more extraordinary.

When the two are added together?

Naturally, it is to the extent of 1+1>2.

If something really happened to the young noble in front of him, not only him, but also his immediate boss and his boss's boss would be in trouble.

Fortunately, Kull Walton had no intention of making things difficult for the other party.

"Help me find her parents."

"Also, dig that guy out."

After saying this, Kull Wharton smiled at the little girl, waved his hand slightly, and walked towards Qin Ran.

"Thanks."

"You saved me again!"

Kull Wharton walked to Qin Ran and whispered.

"I just wanted to thank you for the tea."

Kieran told the truth.

When he just realized something was wrong here in the carriage, he chose to take action. The main reason was because of the sumptuous afternoon tea served by Kull Wharton and the dinner he was looking forward to.

For a person who has a not too bad character and is willing to provide him with food, Kieran doesn't mind giving him a hand in times of danger.

Facing Kieran's answer, Kull Wharton, who once again felt that his 'life is cheap', couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"While I know you may not care, Colin, I think I owe you a favor."

"Today's dinner was held to repay your favor, but now I owe you another favor."

"I think I need to repay you by preparing better food."

In order to make his value higher, he decided to treat Qin Ran to a real feast again.

Qin Ran did not refuse.

Although in his heart, he knew that no matter how prepared the other party was, he could not reach the level of Mimosa, but in the days when Mimosa was not around, he could only settle for the second best.

I really want mimosa.

Qin Ran sighed silently.

On the surface, he still looked slightly indifferent.

After spending an afternoon together, Kull Wharton had become accustomed to Kieran's appearance.

Coupled with the preconceived information, he was not surprised at all.

Then, the two of them looked at the unearthed 'assassin'.

This was a man dressed in ordinary clothes. He had the characteristics of tall and strong people from the North China. His face became ferocious and fierce because of Kieran's kick.

However, the general appearance can still be distinguished clearly.

Squatting on the ground and looking at this unfamiliar appearance, Kull Wharton frowned.

It was not the assassin he had come into contact with before.

is a new assassin.

This is not good news for him.

Because this means that the other party is stronger than he expected.

Calmly, Kull Wharton stood up and waved at the soldier captain.

"Take him back to the city guardhouse. Someone will check the body later."

Kuhl Walton said this.

"Okay, Knight Volton."

The soldier commander saluted and directed half of the soldiers to leave quickly with the corpse.

As for the remaining half?

Then began to interrogate the surrounding civilians.

Although the soldier captain thought it didn't make much sense to do so.

However, the process still needs to go through.

Kull Wharton and Kieran walked side by side to the carriage.

However, before pedaling, the young noble bowed slightly apologetically to the people being interrogated around him.

No more explanation.

Just this is enough.

In fact, compared to other nobles, Kull Wharton, who can see common people equally, can be regarded as an outlier.

For another noble?

At this time, I am afraid that the meeting will be as cold as ice and I will leave very unhappy.

What if this isn't Etantinople?

There will definitely be some grumpy nobles who will take advantage of the civilians around them.

The carriage drove away slowly with the driver shaking the reins.

However, both the attendant and the driver held the sword in their hands at this time.

Obviously, the scene just now stimulated these two followers.

They were afraid that something unexpected would happen again.

Therefore, the carriage headed straight towards the residence of Marquis Wharton.

People along the way saw the two nervous followers and the family crest on the carriage, and they all wisely moved out of the way.

Kull Wharton, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the civilians escaping outside the carriage and couldn't help but pat the baffle behind him. The education he received and the knight's creed he believed in made him unable to ignore these.

When he felt that the carriage had obviously slowed down, Kull Wharton turned around and looked at Kieran opposite.

"terribly sorry."

"I might have gotten you into some trouble."

"But don't worry, I will solve all this as soon as possible."

The young nobleman said to Qin Ran very sincerely.

"I said, thank you for the afternoon tea."

Kieran repeated.

"Different!"

"Colin, you don't understand what I mean, I mean..."

The young noble opened his mouth to explain, but after thinking of something, hesitation appeared on his face. However, this hesitation was soon replaced by determination.

"Colin you saved me twice."

"So, I don't need to hide some things from you anymore."

"What do you think of His Majesty's 'new decree'?"

asked the young noble.

Qin Ran thought of the words of Old Hank of the 'Carrot' Hotel -

‘You asked me what I think of the ‘New Order’? ’

‘What can I say? ’

‘I can’t afford it. ’

Although the words are rough, the words are rough but the reasoning is not rough.

Therefore, Qin Ran relayed what the other party meant.

"Not relevant to most people."

Qin Ran answered.

"Yeah, it has nothing to do with most people."

"However, it is closely related to me, or people with my background."

"After all, it represents the 'greatest glory' of the nobles: land!"

"Therefore, people like us are instantly divided into two groups. Some people are in favor of such a 'new law', while others are against such a 'new law'."

"My father is a staunch supporter of His Majesty."

"so……"

Before he finished speaking, Kull Wharton showed a wry smile.

Everything becomes clear.

Regarding Etantine VI, the opposing nobles did not dare to say anything, at least they did not dare to do anything openly. However, these nobles were not so polite to the supporters of Etantine VI.

Assassination is the last and worst option for nobles.

Because this would break the rules.

but……

At a certain point, it also represents an attitude: the bottom line they adhere to cannot be touched, otherwise they will die.

"This is not the first time I have been assassinated."

"In recent months, I have encountered it three times... no, counting the one just now, this is already the fourth time."

"The first two times they were all trying to scare me, but the third and fourth time the other party was obviously serious about it, even though they didn't choose my father but me."

"But it still represents their determination."

"And they will not let go of anyone who blocks them."

"Perhaps, Colin, you won't care about this, but no matter how powerful a person is, he will take a nap sometimes. Can you guarantee that you will not rest for 24 hours and keep your eyes open?"

"For your safety, I hope to invite you to temporarily stay at the Marquis Mansion."

"Or, I can send you two guards."

"Don't worry, they are vigilant enough and have superb swordsmanship."

Seeing Kieran's still indifferent expression, Kull Wharton strengthened his tone and gave him a proper solution.

"terribly sorry."

"I'm used to being alone."

Kull Wharton was sincere, but Qin Ran did not accept it.

Once he came, as he said, he got used to being alone.

Secondly, he has too many secrets that he cannot let others know.

Mimosa?

That's the exception.

"I have my own way of dealing with it."

"Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

"You know, what I have to deal with all the time."

Looking at Kull Wharton who was still about to say something, Kieran spoke first.

Moreover, it alludes to his identity as a 'Snake Demon Hunter'.

Kieran didn't hide much about his identity as a snake sect demon hunter.

To put it simply, it is roughly to the extent that ordinary people don’t know, but people who want to know can always know.

The Curl Wharton in front of him was obviously the latter.

The same goes for those nobles who opposed the 'new decree'.

Therefore, Kieran was quite confident that those nobles would not provoke a demon hunter at will, especially since this demon hunter was from the 'Snake Sect' who traveled with Ying.

Of course, there is no guarantee that there will not be some tentative contacts.

Kieran didn't care about this.

Even, I wish for it.

Only if his identity as the 'Snake Demon Hunter' is deeply rooted in people's hearts, will some other identities be safer.

For example……

‘Mist’!

No one would have thought that the two were the same person.

Everyone will think that the ‘Snake Faction’ and ‘Mist’ are just a cooperative relationship.

Just like the 'Secret Order of Silent Night' and 'Lady Calamity'.

Kieran needed this kind of 'impression'.

Because he didn't want to be investigated back and forth.

Although he thought it was done well enough and concealedly, some things were still impossible to delve into, especially under the premise that the 'God of War' and 'Ms. Disaster' might intervene.

So, something has to be sped up.

It just so happens that this moment is a good opportunity!

Thinking of this, Qin Ran gave a new order to the superior evil spirit.

And Kull Wharton, who was sitting opposite Kieran, didn't know all this at all.

At this moment, the young noble looked ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Colin."

"I was just looking through the information sent back from Sika City out of curiosity."

"Please believe me, I don't mean any harm."

The young nobleman explained hurriedly.

Qin Ran nodded slightly.

Judging from his breathing and heartbeat, he believed what the other party said.

As for more?

Then you have time to decide.

After watching Qin Ran nod, Kull Wharton couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to lose a friend because of an unconscious check.

After all, there are too few friends who agree with his philosophy that "life is too bitter and needs a little sweetness".

It can even be said to be unique.

Nature should be cherished.

And looking at the five members of the 'Quiet Night Secret Order' who were obedient to him in front of him, the upper-level evil spirit also cherished them extremely.

Perhaps, in normal times, there are not a few people who can be easily 'brainwashed' by it.

However, this time it is different.

time!

We can't make up the time!

The order from the boss just now made it clear to the upper-level evil spirits that the five people in front of them were 'fire'-like existences!

You must become the kind of ‘tinder’ that can start a prairie fire!

Two of them were the first to 'arrest' it, and the three next to it were their friends. Under its persuasion, they turned from darkness to light and joined the team of justice.

Use [Evil Spirit Intuition] to sense the thoughts and emotions of five people.

The superior evil spirits can clearly confirm it, but there is still a little bit left.

Five people, and some were uneasy.

Therefore, it stood up and looked levelly at the five people in front of it.

Following the movements of the superior evil spirit, all five people looked over.

"You're worried."

"Even scared."

The words of the superior evil spirit made the five people lower their heads, not daring to look at the superior evil spirit again.

Take a slight breath.

The superior evil spirit suddenly shouted loudly.

"Looked up!"

Subconsciously, the five people raised their heads while shouting loudly.

They looked at the superior evil spirit at this moment.

There was no imaginary anger.

There is no imaginary contempt.

All there is is gentleness and recognition.

The superior evil spirits know very well that there are two kinds of people in this world. One kind of people live for themselves and are tough on the outside but extremely fragile on the inside. The other kind of people live for others and look weak on the outside but are extremely fragile on the inside. The heart is as hard as a shield.

This kind of person is truly strong.

Many times, people will call them: heroes!

The fact that the five people in front of them can come here is enough to prove that they have the potential of the latter.

Now, all it takes is a tiny spark to ignite the heat in their hearts.

Therefore, the superior evil spirit said word for word——

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, because I...do the same."

"I'm worried too, and I'm scared too."

"After all, we are facing such a terrifying enemy."

"Death may come at any time."

"Can……"

"We have no choice."

"Our friends and relatives need us to protect them. They are all in Silent Night Town. They don't even know what happened, but I would rather they don't know anything."

"Because I am willing to bear everything for them."

"I wish them good years."

"I'm willing to carry the burden forward for them."

"Guys, I can't make any more guarantees."

"Because, I don't know if I can survive."

"But if I survive, I will fight to the death to protect you, as my comrades and companions, your friends and relatives, and treat them as my own friends and relatives."

"I swear!"
