The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 197 Accidental Kill

Tread Tread!

Footsteps came straight to the door of Qin Ran's cell.

Click!

With the turning of the key, the heavy prison door was opened from the outside with a creaking sound.

The light from the torch shone in instantly, causing Qin Ran to squint his eyes.

There are three people in total.

The person holding the torch looked respectful and held the key in his hand. He should be from the prison side, but his face was neat and his clothes were considered clean.

"Cellmaster? Warden?"

Qin Ran guessed the other party's identity.

The identities of the two standing next to each other are much easier to identify.

A man in blue-black armor, with a long sword on his waist, has a solemn face with a trace of murderous intent.

The identity of the guard is beyond doubt.

The other person is dressed gorgeously, with black silk satin around the waist and cuffs, a white wig, brown false eyebrows, and a handkerchief between the mouth and nose. It is impossible to distinguish the other person's appearance in detail, only to see A thick layer of powder.

This person is naturally the object of protection of the soldier and guard.

"Damn place!"

"If it wasn't for the importance of the matter, I wouldn't have stepped here!"

The gorgeously dressed opponent complained in his mouth.

The voice that was supposed to be thick, but because of pinching the throat, it became a little shrill, which made people feel uncomfortable after listening to it, with a feeling of artificiality.

"My lord, you are here for the honor of the family, His Highness will definitely understand your painstaking efforts!"

The man whom Qin Ran guessed to be the warden smiled humbly.

But when the other party turned around and looked at Qin Ran, he had a vicious look on his face.

"This lord is the youngest son of the Duke of Merck, the eagle of the Principality of Merck, Riedrell, a strong swordsman!"

"Hurry up and tell this lord the whereabouts of the 'legacy' that you hid earlier!"

While speaking, the other party kicked Qin Ran vigorously.

With the restraint of handcuffs and shackles, the other party was not worried about Kieran's resistance at all.

Even, in order to show more bravery in front of the so-called 'Eagle of the Principality of Merck', the other party kicked and beat Qin Ran more and more fiercely.

To Qin Ran, this was completely painless.

Although the other party was very fierce.

However, that strength was still pitifully small to Kieran.

Moreover, with the entry of the three of them, Kieran's attention has been on the so-called 'Eagle of the Duke of Merck'.

The idea of ​​'kidnapping the other party as a hostage' emerged in his mind.

Especially after knowing the identity of the other party, such thoughts became more and more intense.

Youngest son of Duke Merck.

Undoubtedly, it is an identity that is enough to make people fearful.

However, it is not easy to achieve this.

The opponent has a strong guard, and he must succeed in one blow.

He has no second chances.

Therefore, Qin Ran secretly moved his hands and feet.

As for the evaluation of the opponent's "sword master"?

That's just flattery.

Whoever is serious is a fool.

Qin Ran had never seen a 'sword master' without a sword.

What's more, when the other party entered the cell, his whole body was loose and loose, and there was no trace of exercise on his body.

If such a person is a 'sword master', Qin Ran can call himself a 'Sword Master', although he does not know how to use a long sword.

"Say it! Say it!"

"Quickly tell me, where did you hide the 'inherited thing'?"

The warden kept urging him, but of course, he didn't stop kicking and beating Qin Ran.

Even if I'm a little out of breath.

On the side, the youngest son of Grand Duke Merck, Ridrell, still covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked at Qin Ran with a haughty gaze.

He was waiting for Kieran's answer.

He seemed very sure that if he continued like this, Kieran would truthfully explain everything.

Therefore, when the accident happened, the youngest son of Grand Duke Merck was extremely surprised and unbelievable.

Ridrell lowered his head and looked at the long sword passing through his chest from his back. The handkerchief that had been covering his mouth and nose fell to the ground, revealing his open mouth.

"Uh uh..."

The 'Eagle of the Principality of Merck' wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

The whole person collapsed to the ground without making a sound.

It's exactly the same as the pinched chick.

"ah!"

The warden was stunned by the scene in front of him, subconsciously about to cry out.

But he was blocked by the guard, and the dagger in the guard's hand directly pierced the warden's chest, breaking his heart.

puff!

The dagger was drawn out, bringing with it a handful of blood.

The guard didn't dodge, and let the blood splash on his body.

He turned around, took out the long sword stuck on Ridrell's body, and looked at Qin Ran with murderous intent.

There is no meaning to speak.

The opponent pierced Qin Ran's throat with a sword.

Looking at the long sword piercing his throat, Qin Ran was a little dazed.

Not because of the immediate attack.

It was because of the killing between the rabbits and the falcons just now.

In fact, Kieran was already preparing to take Ridrell hostage.

But before he could make a move, Ridrell was assassinated by his own guard with a sword.

"what happened?"

Qin Ran asked himself.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Kieran's movements were definitely not slow.

The shackles that had been vainly wearing on his hands collapsed in an instant, blocking the tip of the long sword.

clang!

The point of the sword pierced the shackles, and sparks flew everywhere.

The long sword was blocked, and the guard with murderous intent was stunned, just like Ridrell who didn't understand until his death. The guard in front of him didn't understand why Qin Ran was able to escape from the shackles of handcuffs and anklets.

But unlike Ridrell's incompetence, the guard in front of him didn't succeed in his blow, so he immediately turned his wrist, deflected his long sword, and stabbed Kieran's chest again.

The guards showed considerable skills in swordsmanship.

But that didn't change the final result.

Snapped!

Qin Ran sideways dodged the opponent's stab, lifted his foot and kicked the opponent's sword-holding palm, followed by kicking the opponent's chest again.

boom!

The opponent slammed into the wall behind him heavily.

Qin Ran raised his hand to grab the long sword that was falling downwards, and pointed the tip of the sword at the opponent.

"do not move!"

"Who are you……"

Qin Ran let out a low cry, ready to ask for more information.

He has too many doubts,

However, before Qin Ran finished speaking, a trace of black blood overflowed from the corner of the other party's mouth, and his entire face lost the brilliance of life.

"this?!"

Qin Ran was taken aback.

In order to ask for more information, his previous kick was merciful.

There is absolutely no chance of death.

Suspicious, Qin Ran moved closer to examine the other party's body.

But as soon as he got close, a pungent and spicy smell came to his nostrils.

"poison?"

You don't need a proficient level of [Medical and Drug Knowledge] to identify it, Kieran already knows what it is.

The other party committed suicide by taking poison.

After confirming that it is impossible to succeed, in order to avoid being captured, he committed suicide by taking poison, such a person...

"Dead man!"

This word appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

Apart from the dead soldiers, Qin Ran couldn't think of anything else.

"A dead man can actually become the bodyguard of the prince's youngest son..."

"Also, I chose this time to assassinate the other party..."

Qin Ran pondered.

Some not-so-good guesses appeared in Kieran's heart.

He knew that the three of them were in trouble.

To complete the main task of [Escape from the Principality of Merck], the difficulty has increased by more than a little bit.

"Lawless and Hans must be found as soon as possible!"

Qin Ran picked up the dagger and keys beside him, and quickly left the cell.
